| Abstract | Tumour cell cultures are often highly heterogeneous, containing sub-populations of cells with differing characteristics. To identify chromosome abnormalities that are associated with the invasive phenotype, we isolated highly invasive uveal melanoma cell populations using the Transwell assay. Using this invasion assay, invasive sub-populations of primary uveal melanoma short-term cultures, and an established cell line, were specifically isolated. A series of sequential assays were undertaken to enrich the invasive population, and the enhanced invasive ability was confirmed by Transwell invasion assay. Chromosome abnormalities in invasive and parental cells were identified by karyotyping and confirmed by comparative genome hybridisation. Invasive sub-populations of uveal melanoma cells were isolated from 3 uveal melanoma short term cultures and a uveal melanoma cell line. In all cases, invasive sub-populations had either acquired additional chromosome abnormalities to those present in the parental cell line, or other abnormalities present in the parental lines were lost. In the established cell line (SOM 157), invasive cells were characterised by widespread chromosomal instability, frequent telomere associations and additional copies of chromosome 20. The invasive phenotype of SOM 196 associated with the presence of a derivative chromosome 5, der(5)t(5;11)(q35;q12) whilst a translocation t(17;20)(q12;q13) was predominant amongst non-invasive cells. In two additional cultures, deletions on chromosome 6q were associated with reduced invasive ability. In conclusion, highly invasive populations of uveal melanoma cells demonstrate chromosomal abnormalities that differ from non-invasive cells. These include chromosome instability and abnormalities of chromosome 20, observations echoing those seen in metastatic uveal melanoma. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
