Aneuploidy Acts Both Oncogenically and as a Tumor Suppressor
Open accessAbstract
An abnormal chromosome number, aneuploidy, is a common characteristic of tumor cells. Boveri proposed nearly 100 years ago that aneuploidy causes tumorigenesis, but this has remained untested due to the difficulty of selectively generating aneuploidy. Cells and mice with reduced levels of the mitosis-specific, centromere-linked motor protein CENP-E are now shown to develop aneuploidy and chromosomal instability in vitro and in vivo. An increased rate of aneuploidy does drive an elevated level of spontaneous lymphomas and lung tumors in aged animals. Remarkably, however, in examples of chemically or genetically induced tumor formation, an increased rate of aneuploidy is a more effective inhibitor than initiator of tumorigenesis. These findings reveal a role of aneuploidy and chromosomal instability in preventing tumorigenesis.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
