Non-random duplication of chromosome 15 in murine T-cell leukemias: further studies on translocation heterozygotes

Abstract

Four combinations of translocation heterozygotes with cytogenetically distinct chromosomes 15 were used to investigate whether the T-cell leukemia-associated duplication of chromosome 15 is a non-random or a random event. In leukemias of AKR x CBAT6T6F1 (Group 1) and C57BL x CBAT6T F1 (Group IV) crosses the duplication was non-random, affecting the AKR-derived chromosome 15 (Group 1) and CBAT6T6-derived T (14;15) 6 chromosome (Group IV), respectively. In contrast, in leukemias induced in CBA x CBA T6T6F1 combinations (Group III) - where both chromosomes 15 (normal and translocated) were CBA-derived-the duplication was random. Similarly, in the Rb6;15 x CBAT6T6F1 cross (group II) the duplication of chromosome 15 appeared to be random. The results supported the hypothesis that the genetic content of chromosome 15 rather than its translocated state is decisive for the preferential duplication of this chromosome in T-cell leukemogenesis. However, the genetic background of the strain from which chromosome 15 is derived may also influence the duplication pattern of individual tumors.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
