BACKGROUND/AIM: Budding uninhibited by benzimidazole-related 1 (BUBR1) plays an important role in the spindle assembly checkpoint to prevent chromosome missegregation and aneuploidy during mitosis. We previously generated mutant mice that express BUBR1 at only 20% of the normal level (BubR1 mice). Here, we examined the effect of low BUBR1 expression on oxidative stress-induced carcinogenesis in mice.
We orally administered either a potassium bromate (KBrO) solution (2 g/l) or tap water to BubR1 and wild-type (BubR1)mice for 16 weeks and examined the subsequent incidence of tumours.
KBrO-treated BubR1 mice showed significantly higher mortality than the KBrO-treated BubR1 and control tap water-treated mice (p=0.0082). Histopathological and immunohistochemical analyses revealed that the spleens of surviving BubR1L/L mice were occupied by non-B-, non-T-cells with high proliferative potential.
Our results indicate that low BUBR1 expression increases oxidative stress-induced mortality in mice, possibly caused by splenic neoplasms.
背景/目的:苯并咪唑相关1抑制缺陷型芽殖蛋白(BUBR1)在纺锤体组装检查点中发挥重要作用,以防止有丝分裂期间染色体错误分离和非整倍体形成。我们之前培育出了仅表达正常水平20%的BUBR1的突变小鼠(BubR1小鼠)。在此,我们研究了低水平BUBR1表达对小鼠氧化应激诱导的致癌作用的影响。
我们给BubR1小鼠和野生型(BubR1)小鼠口服溴酸钾(KBrO)溶液(2 g/l)或自来水,持续16周,并检查随后的肿瘤发生率。
经KBrO处理的BubR1小鼠的死亡率显著高于经KBrO处理的BubR1小鼠和经对照自来水处理的小鼠(p = 0.0082)。组织病理学和免疫组织化学分析显示,存活的BubR1L/L小鼠的脾脏被具有高增殖潜能的非B、非T细胞占据。
我们的结果表明,低水平BUBR1表达会增加小鼠氧化应激诱导的死亡率,这可能是由脾脏肿瘤引起的。
