Up-regulation of the mitotic checkpoint component Mad1 causes chromosomal instability and resistance to microtubule poisons
9 Jul 2012
Abstract excerpt
The mitotic checkpoint is the major cell cycle checkpoint acting during mitosis to prevent aneuploidy and chromosomal instability, which are hallmarks of tumor cells. Reduced expression of the mitotic checkpoint component Mad1 causes aneuploidy and promotes tumors in mice [Iwanaga Y, et al. (2007) Cancer Res 67:160-166]. However, the prevalence and consequences of Mad1 overexpression are currently unclear. Here...
