The chromosome complement of A. olluia consists of five pairs of meta-, nine pairs of summeta- and two pairs of telocentric chromosomes. In Planorbidae, chromosome numbers of II. cantori was 36(2n) counted. The chromosome complement of II. cantori consists of fourteen pairs of meta- and four pairs of submetacentric chromosomes.

Numerical Chromosome Aberrations in Bladder Cancer Using Non-Fluorescent in Situ Hybridization

Kim, Sae Woong,Cho, Yong-Hyun,Yoon, Moon Soo THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF KOREA 1997 Bulletin of The Catholic Research Institutes of Me Vol.25 No.-

Bladder cancers vary greatly in their biological behavior, ranging from superficial to invasive and have stepwise carcinogenetic process. By the development of cytogenetics and molecular genetics, it is generally accepted that numerical aberration and deletion of specific chromosome is closely related with carcinogenetic process. But the conventional cytogenetics have limitations in chromosome study due to metaphase analysis and limited type of probe. Recently in situ hybridization of interphase cells and loss of heterozygosity using microsatellite markers have introduced for the molecular cytogenetic study in paraffin-embedded solid tumor. We performed interphase cytogenetics by non-fluorescent in situ hybridization and microsatellite analysis of 21 cases of bladder cancer in chromosome 7, 9, 17 and long arm of chromosome 9. The results were analyzed to investigate the role of stepwise carcinogenetic process and the relationship between centromeric copy number or loss of heterozygosity and tumor of grade or stage. The results were as follows; 1. Nineteen out of twenty one patients revealed numerical aberration at one or more chromosome. The changes of chromosome number were most frequently found in chromosome 7(15 cases) followed by chromosome 9(13 cases) and 17(11 cases) 2. In the distribution of centromeric copy number for chromosome 7, trisomy was most frequently found and followed by tetrasomy, diasomy, monosomy. In chromose 9, monosomy was most frequently found and followed by diasomy, trisomy, tetrasomy. In chromosome 17, diasomy was frequently found and followed by trisomy, tetrasomy, monosomy. 3. In the relationship between centromeric copy number and tumor of grade or stage, chromosome 7 and 17 were significantely correlated with increasing tumor of grade and stage and chromosome 7 is more strongly correlated than chromosome 17 with tumor grade and stage. Chromosome 9 did not significantely correlated with either grade or stage. Monosomy 9 was even distributed at all grade and stage and polysomy 7 and 17 were frequently found at high grade and stage. Our results suggest that monosomy 9 may be early event in the oncogenesis of bladder cancer and centromeric copy number of 7 and 17 may be highly predictive of bladder tumor aggressiveness. Molecular cytogenetic analysis using in situ hybridization may offer possible role of pathogenesis in bladder cancer.

The Y chromosome is a type of sex chromosome existing primarily in male mammalian species. The Y chromosome passes through the male gamete and determines male sex in humans, non-human primates, and other mammals. The mammalian Y chromosome varies from the X chromosome and the rest of the chromosomes primarily by size and its male sex-determining/spermatogenesis function. In the Y chromosome, male sex-determining function is exclusively located on the short arm, while the spermatogenesis function is distributed widely on the short and long arm. Deletions or mutations particularly in the male-specific region of Y chromosome (MSY) may cause male infertility. During the last few decades, researchers put forth an enormous effort to discover Y chromosome specific genes, and their encoded RNAs and proteins in humans, primates, and rodents. As a result, most of the genes and encoded proteins responsible for male-sex determination, testis development, and spermatogenesis have been discovered in humans, however not well established in non-human primates and rodents. Also, there might be a percent of proteins missing in human Y chromosome. The aim of this study is to annotate the proteins that encoded on the Y chromosome of humans, chimpanzee, and mouse using extensive bioinformatics tools. The human (annotation release 107), chimpanzee (annotation release 103), and mouse (annotation release 105) proteins were first retrieved from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) eukaryotic genome annotation resource database. Then, the annotated human proteins (66 proteins) were compared with the core databases of human proteome project such as neXtProt, PeptideAtlas, and the Human Protein Atlas. The X-homologous of human Y chromosome-encoded proteins were searched using the NCBI Protein BLAST program. The cellular pathways and protein-protein interactions involving human Y chromosome-encoded proteins were searched using the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway mapping database, the Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins (STRING) database, and the Pathway Studio software. Finally, the human Y chromosome-encoded protein homologs/orthologs in chimpanzee and mouse were analyzed using the NCBI bl2seq program. This analysis resulted a significant number of homologous/orthologous proteins between human, chimpanzee and mouse. Our findings provide the scientific community with updated information on the Y chromosome-encoded proteins in humans, chimpanzee, and mouse.

Chromosomes of gonadal tissues from Fasciola spp, Eurytrema pancreaticum and Calicophoron calicophorum occurred Korean cattle were egamined using modified air-drying method. To compare their phenotype with three different genotypes among Fasciola spp, the adult and egg si2e were measured since they have been known as important taxonomical characters. The results obtained were as followed; Cattle liver fluke, Fasciola spp were classified into three types based on their chromosomal complements such as individual with 2o chromosome(diploid), 30 chromosome(triploid) and 20/30 mosaic constitution(mixoploid). The propotions of appearance of three types were 40.00%, 54.29% and 5.71%, respectively. The frequency of three types in type I which was regarded as F gigantica were 58.82% for diploid, 35.29% for triploid and 5.88% for mixoploid, but in type II which was regarded as F hepatica were 72.2% for triploid, 22.22% for diploid and 5.56% for mixoploid. Egg length of triploid forms was significantly larger than that of diploid forms and egg size of mixoploid forms was similiar to that of triploid forms. Worm size of triploid forms was larger than that of diploid forms and was more similar to that of mixoploid forms, but the statistical data were not significant. Diploid chromosome consisted of one pair of metacentric chromosome(m), four pairs of submetacentric chromosomes(sm), five pairs of subtelocentric chromosomes(st), while triploid chromosome consisted of one pair of metacentric chromosome, seven pairs of submetacen.tric chromosomes, one pair of subtelocentric chromosome and telocentric chromosome(t), respectively. In mixoploid chromosome, constitution of the chromosomes of diploid or triploid cell was consistent with that of diploid or triploid. Chromosomes of gonadal tissues from pancreatic fluke, Eurytrema pancreaticum consisted of 13 pairs of homologs(2n=26, n=13). The mitotic and meiotic divisions were observed frequently. In the mitotic metaphase, Karyotype consisted of five pairs of metacentric chromosomes, four pairs of submetacentric chromosomes, three pairs of subtelocentric chromosomes and one pair of telocentric chromosome. Chromosomes of gonadal tissues from stomach fluke, Calicvphoron calicophorum consisted of 9 pairs of homologs(2n=18, n=9). The meiotic divisions was frequently observed, but mitotic divisions was rare. In the mitotic metaphase, Karyotype consisted of two pairs of metacentric chromosomes, three pairs of submetacentric chromosomes and four pairs of subtelocentric chromosomes. Karyotype of Calicophoron calicophorum differed from that of Japanese C calicophorum which was similar to that of Paramphistomum cervi of Korean cattle. Though that of Calicophoron calicophorum of Korean cattle was similar to that of Paramphistomum explanatum of Korean cattle, that have been recognized to be a different species of fluke.

Objective : The accurate evaluation of a marker chromosome has been limited during prenatal karyo-typing. We proposed a method of step-by-step approach to evaluate the origin of a marker chromosome. Methods : A patient with 19 weeks of gestation was transferred to our hospital for karyotyping due to abnormal Triple test. Karyotyping of amniotic fluid was performed. NOR (nucleolar organizer region) banding and FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization) using two types of sex chromosome probes: chromosome X α satellite probe (DXZI) & chromosome Y α satellite probe (DYZ3)(Cytocell, Bambury, UK) and CEP X/Y (Xp11.1-q11.1 CEP X α satellite & Yq12 CEP Y satellite III)(Vysis, IL, USA) were done. Results : The routine chromosomal analysis showed 46,X,+mar. As the result of NOR banding, we supposed that the marker chromosome was less likely originated from acrocentric chromosomes. FISH analysis revealed Y centromere signal on marker chromosome, but Yq12 signal was not detected. Therefore the marker chromosome was identified as Y chromosome formed by deletion at Yq11.2. Conclusion : This study demonstrated that FISH and NOR banding technique is more effective method for a marker chromosome evaluation during prenatal karyotyping.

Truong Xuan Nguyen,김보람,박두리,김영규,Viet‑Yen Nguyen,나종국,김남수,김종화 한국유전학회 2019 Genes & Genomics Vol.41 No.6

Objective Lilium amabile Palibin (2n = 2x = 24) is an endemic lily species in Korea. B chromosomes are supernumerary chromosomes and the presence of B chromosome in L. amabile was known by previous researches. The current research was conducted to characterize the genetical and cytological features of the B chromosome plants in L. amabile. Methods Karyotype and B chromosome cytotype analyses were carried out among 135 L. amabile accessions that were collected from six geographical locations in Korea using conventional aceto-carmine staining as well as FISH technique with ribosomal RNA gene probes. Results The karyotype of L. amabile genome consisted of two large metacentric, four intermediate subtelocentric, and six intermediate to small acrocentric chromosomes in which chromosomes 1, 6 and 7 carried the 45S rRNA gene loci and chromosome 3 carried the 5S rRNA gene. There were 4 types of B chromosomes, two large B chromosomes and two small B chromosomes. The ribosomal RNA gene loci were not present in the B chromosomes. The 135 accessions were classified into 13 cytotypes including diploids and different B chromosome aneuploids. Among the aneuploids, the most frequent cytotype was 24 + 1B, which was followed by 24 + 2B, 24 + 1b, 24 + 1B + 2b, 24 + 1B + 4b, and 24 + 2B + 4b. Conclusion The karyotype of L. amabile was consistent with other species in the genus Lilium without polyploids. The B chromosome cytotypes were highly variable and the occurrences of different cytotypes were random among the six populations, implying that the B and b chromosome occurrence was random in each population.

윤화중,노민희,김강련,Yoon, Wha-jung,Roh, Min-hee,Kim, Kang-ryun 대한수의학회 1989 大韓獸醫學會誌 Vol.29 No.2

This study was performed to investigate the toxicity of ochratoxin A (OA) to the chromosomes of $K_{562}$ tumor cell-line in vitro. The results of this experiment were as follows: 1) Chromosomes of $K_{562}$tumor cell-line resulted in pseudotriploidy on the control group. Chromosomes of $K_{562}$ tumor cell-line treated with OA resulted in heteroploidy compared with the control group. The mean number of chromosomes in the karyotype of the control group (60) were 7 in the A group, 5 in the B group, 20 in the C+X group, 7 in the D group, 9 in the E group, 6 in the F group, and 6 in the G+Y group respectively. The number of chromosomes were increased as follows: Treating with $0.7{\mu}M$ OA, the number of chromosomes were increased one in E and F group, two in G+Y group compared with control group. In treated with $1.5{\mu}M$ OA, the increasing number of chromosome was one in E and F group. In treated with $3{\mu}M$ OA, E and F group was increased one and G+Y group were increased two chromosomes compared with control group. But in treated with $6{\mu}M$ OA, the number of chromosome in G+Y group was decreased one. 2) $K_{562}$ tumor cell line treated with OA showed Philadelphia-Chromosome in the long arm of the G group karyotype chromosome. The rate of chromosome aberration in $K_{562}$ tumor cell-line treated with OA was 77% in $0.7{\mu}M$ OA group, 71% in $1.5{\mu}M$ OA group, 82% in $3{\mu}M$ OA group and 94% in $6{\mu}M$ OA group respectively. The rate of chromosome aberration of $K_{562}$ tumor cell-line treated with OA was high in the high dose level of OA, and chromosome aberration of $K_{562}$ tumor cell-line treated with OA showed deletion, minute, dicentric-chromosome and translocation in the long arm of the C-group karyotype. As a result of this study, the toxicity of OA showed deletion, minute, dicentric-chromosome and translocation in the long arm of the C-group karyotype, and then, the toxicity of OA resulted in the damage to RNA and protein synthesis in $K_{562}$ tumor cell-line, and the C-group karyotype of $K_{562}$ tumor cell-line was target of the toxicity of OA.

Reanalysis of Ohno's hypothesis on conservation of the size of the X chromosome in mammals

Kim, Hyeongmin,Lee, Taeheon,Sung, Samsun,Lee, Changkyu,Kim, Heebal The Korean Society for Integrative Biology 2012 Animal cells and systems Vol.16 No.6

In 1964, Susumu Ohno, an evolutionary biologist, hypothesized that the size of X chromosome was conserved in mammalian evolution, and that this was based on chromosomal length. Today, unlike Ohno's method which was based on estimated lengths, we know the exact lengths of some mammalian sequences. The aim of this study was to reanalyze Ohno's hypothesis. In mammalian species, variation in the length of the X chromosome is greater than in the autosomes; however, this variation is not statistically significant. This means that differences in chromosomal length occur equally in the X chromosome and in the autosomes. Interspersed nuclear elements and genetic rearrangements were analyzed to maintain the same variance between the length of the X chromosome and the autosomes. The X chromosome contained fewer short interspersed elements (SINEs) (0.90 on average); however, it did contain more long interspersed elements (LINEs) than did autosomes (1.56 on average). An overall correlation of LINEs and SINEs with genetic rearrangements was observed; however, synteny breaks were more closely associated with LINEs in the autosomes, and with SINEs in the X chromosome. These results suggest that the chromosome-specific activities of LINEs and SINEs result in the same variance between the lengths of the X chromosome and the autosomes. This is based on the function of interspersed nuclear elements, such as LINEs, which can inactivate the X chromosome and the reliance of non-autonomous SINEs on LINEs for transposition.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the number of chromosome and its phase between wild pig Sus coreanus, and crossbred which was crossed between Sus scorfa L. and Sus coreanus. The results obtained from this study are as follows : 1. The chromosome numbers, including sex chromosomes, of the Korean wild pig(S. coreanus) were 38. 2. In chromosomal patterns of the wild, domestic and its crossbred pigs showed the same chromosomal phase such as the #1, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #9, and #10 chromosomes were submetacentric, and the #11, #12, #13, #15, #17, and Y chromosomes were metacentric, but the X chromosome was metacentric in the domestic, whereas submetancentric in the wild pig. 3. The arm ratios and centromeric indexes in all homologous chromosomes in the domestic and wild pigs showed significantly different at P〈0.05. 4. In the acrocentric chromosomes, in the wild and domestic pigs, the #2 and #18 chromosomes were significant difference, but in the crossbred showed half of its chromosomes. It means that the genetic materials of the crossbred are transmitted the ratio of about 50% from each of his parents.
