Figure 8. Role for Ca++ in lipoprotein induced chromosome mis-segregation.

Figure 8

(A–C) Quantitative FISH analysis with a dually labeled DNA probe for chromosomes 21 and 12 showed a significant reduction in trisomy 21 (A), tetrasomy 21 and tetrasomy 12 (B) in hTERT cells pre-treated with 1.5 mM of Ca++ chelator EGTA followed by OX-LDL compared to cells treated only with OX-LDL. Cells pre-treated with 1 mM BAPTA had significantly lower levels of OX-LDL-induced trisomy 21 and trisomy 12 (C) compared to the cells grown without chelator.
