Abstract
Introduction: The SEWA cell line, which is derived from a virus-induced murine osteosarcoma (OS) ascites, was established in the 1980s from a serially transplanted male-derived tumor that was first published in 1961. It has been applied in about 50 studies but was never genetically characterized in detail; this study fills that gap.
Methods: The SEWA cell line was analyzed for its chromosomal constitution using molecular cytogenetic approaches. Array comparative genomic hybridization was performed to characterize copy number alterations.
Results: SEWA has a near-diploid karyotype without Y-chromosome material. The complex karyotype includes neocentrics and simple and complex rearrangements. Amplification of MYC oncogene was detected in two homogeneously staining regions on two different derivative chromosomes.
Conclusion: An in silico translation of the obtained results to the human genome indicated that SEWA is suitable as a model for advanced human OS.
期刊介绍:
During the last decades, ''Cytogenetic and Genome Research'' has been the leading forum for original reports and reviews in human and animal cytogenetics, including molecular, clinical and comparative cytogenetics. In recent years, most of its papers have centered on genome research, including gene cloning and sequencing, gene mapping, gene regulation and expression, cancer genetics, comparative genetics, gene linkage and related areas. The journal also publishes key papers on chromosome aberrations in somatic, meiotic and malignant cells. Its scope has expanded to include studies on invertebrate and plant cytogenetics and genomics. Also featured are the vast majority of the reports of the International Workshops on Human Chromosome Mapping, the reports of international human and animal chromosome nomenclature committees, and proceedings of the American and European cytogenetic conferences and other events. In addition to regular issues, the journal has been publishing since 2002 a series of topical issues on a broad variety of themes from cytogenetic and genome research.
