Abstract excerpt
Centrosome amplification plays a key role in the origin of chromosomal instability during cancer development and progression. In this study, breast cancer cell lines with different p53 backgrounds were used to investigate the relationship between genotoxic stress, G(1)/S cell cycle checkpoint integrity, and the development of centrosome amplification. Introduction of DNA damage in the MCF-7 cell line by treatment...
