Abstract:
:In this study we combined flow cytometry with fluorescence in situ hybridization to detect numerical aberrations in chromosomes. Fifty-nine human malignant gliomas were examined by flow cytometry for DNA-content and cell cycle analysis and for numerical aberrations of chromosome 1 by in situ hybridization using a chromosome specific centromere probe. Of the gliomas analysed, 42% were diploid and 58% showed aneuploid tumour cell populations. The DNA index was heterogeneous ranging from 1.0 to 2.3. The S-phase analysis showed proliferation activity from a very low range of 0.7% up to 17.0%. In general, diploid gliomas exhibited a lower S-phase activity than aneuploid gliomas. Of the aneuploid gliomas, 15% showed a peridiploid pattern with a DNA index mean of 1.1. In these peridiploid tumours a trisomy of chromosome 1 could be detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The frequency of trisomic chromosome 1 in malignant gliomas reflects a very slight increase in DNA index from diploid to peridiploid (DNA index 1.1). Comparison of chromosome numbers and DNA content gave good correlation. Also important, the results reflects the cell cycle, specifically the extent of S-phase activity. In general, cell proliferation of diploid and peridiploid gliomas is much less than in higher aneuploid gliomas. The analysis of DNA content may thus yield results with respect to the biological behaviour of tumours in general.
