Determining the degree of chromosomal instability in breast cancer cells by atomic force microscopy
Chromosomal instability (CIN) is a source of genetic variation and is highly linked to the malignance of cancer. Determining the degree of CIN is necessary for understanding the role that it plays in tumor development. There is currently a lack of research on high-resolution characterization of CIN and the relationship between CIN and cell mechanics. Here, a method to determine CIN of breast cancer cells by high resolution imaging with atomic force microscopy (AFM) is explored. The numerical and structural changes of chromosomes in human breast cells (MCF-10A), moderately malignant breast cells (MCF-7) and highly malignant breast cells (MDA-MB-231) were observed and analyzed by AFM. Meanwhile, the nuclei, cytoskeleton and cell mechanics of the three kinds of cells were also investigated. The results showed the differences in CIN between the benign and cancer cells. Also, the degree of structural CIN increased with enhanced malignancy of cancer cells. This was also demonstrated by calculating the probability of micronucleus formation in these three kinds of cells. Meanwhile, we found that the area of the nucleus was related to the number of chromosomes in the nucleus. In addition, reduced or even aggregated actin fibers led to decreased elasticities in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells. It was found that the rearrangement of actin fibers would affect the nucleus, and then lead to wrong mitosis and CIN. Using AFM to detect chromosomal changes in cells with different malignancy degrees provides a new detection method for the study of cell carcinogenesis with a perspective for targeted therapy of cancer.
