Popis: | Giant cell tumour of bone, a benign but potentially aggressive neoplasm, shows an increasing rate of chromosomal aneusomy that correlates with clinical course. Mechanisms that generate chromosomal instability in giant cell tumour of bone are poorly understood. One possible cause of chromosomal instability is an error in mitotic segregation due to numeric and/or functional abnormalities of centrosomes. Centrosome alteration is a common phenomenon in many cancers and has a major role in the development of chromosomal instability in cancer cells. To gain an insight into the possible mechanism for the generation of chromosomal instability in giant cell tumour of bone, we analysed 100 cases, including 57 primary nonrecurrent, 35 recurrent and 8 malignant giant cell tumour of bone cases. gamma-Tubulin immunohistochemistry was performed on tissue microarrays of 59 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded cases, whereas pericentrin and gamma-tubulin fluorescent immunocytochemistry was carried out on 41 frozen smears. Fluorescent in situ hybridization was performed on 23 cases of pericentrin immunostained smears, allowing the simultaneous analysis of centrosomes and chromosome aberrations. Centrosome amplification was significantly higher in recurrent and malignant giant cell tumour of bones compared with nonrecurrent tumours (P |
