Three steps to the immortality of cancer cells: senescence, polyploidy and self-renewal

J Erenpreisa, MS Cragg - Cancer cell international, 2013 - Springer
Metastatic cancer is rarely cured by current DNA damaging treatments, apparently due to the
development of resistance. However, recent data indicates that tumour cells can elicit the …

The molecular and cellular strategies of glioblastoma and non-small-cell lung cancer cells conferring radioresistance

L Alhaddad, AN Osipov, S Leonov - International Journal of Molecular …, 2022 - mdpi.com
Ionizing radiation (IR) has been shown to play a crucial role in the treatment of glioblastoma
(GBM; grade IV) and non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Nevertheless, recent studies …

CellSegm - a MATLAB toolbox for high-throughput 3D cell segmentation

E Hodneland, T Kögel, DM Frei, HH Gerdes… - Source code for biology …, 2013 - Springer
The application of fluorescence microscopy in cell biology often generates a huge amount of
imaging data. Automated whole cell segmentation of such data enables the detection and …

Cell segmentation, tracking, and mitosis detection using temporal context

F Yang, MA Mackey, F Ianzini, G Gallardo… - … Conference on Medical …, 2005 - Springer
Abstract The Large Scale Digital Cell Analysis System (LSDCAS) developed at the
University of Iowa provides capabilities for extended-time live cell image acquisition. This …

Activation of meiosis-specific genes is associated with depolyploidization of human tumor cells following radiation-induced mitotic catastrophe

F Ianzini, EA Kosmacek, ES Nelson, E Napoli… - Cancer research, 2009 - AACR
Cancer is frequently characterized histologically by the appearance of large cells that are
either aneuploid or polyploid. Aneuploidy and polyploidy are hallmarks of radiation-induced …

Segregation of genomes in polyploid tumour cells following mitotic catastrophe

J Erenpreisa, M Kalejs, F Ianzini… - Cell biology …, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
Following irradiation p53‐function‐deficient tumour cells undergo mitotic catastrophe and
form endopolyploid cells. A small proportion of these segregates nuclei, and give rise to …

Upregulation of meiosis-specific genes in lymphoma cell lines following genotoxic insult and induction of mitotic catastrophe

M Kalejs, A Ivanov, G Plakhins, MS Cragg, D Emzinsh… - BMC cancer, 2006 - Springer
Background We have previously reported that p53 mutated radioresistant lymphoma cell
lines undergo mitotic catastrophe after irradiation, resulting in metaphase arrest and the …

Mitotic catastrophe and endomitosis in tumour cells: an evolutionary key to a molecular solution

J Erenpreisa, M Kalejs, MS Cragg - Cell biology international, 2005 - Elsevier
Following genotoxic insult, p53 mutated tumour cells undergo mitotic catastrophe. This is
characterised by a switch from mitosis to the endocycle. The essential difference between …

The role of meiotic cohesin REC8 in chromosome segregation in γ irradiation-induced endopolyploid tumour cells

J Erenpreisa, MS Cragg, K Salmina… - Experimental cell …, 2009 - Elsevier
Escape from mitotic catastrophe and generation of endopolyploid tumour cells (ETCs)
represents a potential survival strategy of tumour cells in response to genotoxic treatments …

Lack of p53 function promotes radiation-induced mitotic catastrophe in mouse embryonic fibroblast cells

F Ianzini, A Bertoldo, EA Kosmacek, SL Phillips… - Cancer cell …, 2006 - Springer
Background We have demonstrated that in some human cancer cells both chronic mild heat
and ionizing radiation exposures induce a transient block in S and G2 phases of the cell …
