At the vast majority of genes Our study also provides support for a potential role for CENP-A in chromosomal instability. Sequence reads were mapped to the reference genome hg19 by the CASAVA 1.8.2 pipeline.We identified regions of local enrichment of sequence tags using a hotspot detection algorithm essentially as previously described In this 8q24 region, we show that CENP-A is bound to CENP-C, a phenomena that also occurs in early human colorectal tumors, but not in normal human colon cells. We report that CENP-A is overexpressed at the mRNA and protein level in some human colorectal cancers. Irrespective of the difference in the total number of hotspots, a sizeable portion of ectopic CENP-A was found at gene loci, with 23%, 38%, and 44% of ectopic hotspots at genes in HeLa, SW480, and normal colon cells, respectively (Figure

Whereas various artificial overexpression studies over the past decade have clearly established CENP-A’s ability to seed neocentromeres The pathology report indicated Tumor 1, Tumor 2, and Tumor 3 were moderately differentiated stage three tumor with no metastasis, high grade poorly differentiated stage three tumor with metastasis to one lymph node, and low grade well differentiated stage three tumor with no metastasis, respectively. Briefly, infrared western blot (WB) signal was acquired with high dynamic range and analyzed using Image Studio software. A functional implication of stable CENP-A occupancy of promoters/DHS and its correlation with transcription factor binding sites is the potential link to gene expression changes reported in cancer cells.
