Tetraploidization Increases the Motility and Invasiveness of Cancer Cells
(2023) In International Journal of Molecular Sciences 24(18).- Abstract
Polyploidy and metastasis are associated with a low probability of disease-free survival in cancer patients. Polyploid cells are known to facilitate tumorigenesis. However, few data associate polyploidization with metastasis. Here, by generating and using diploid (2n) and tetraploid (4n) clones from malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) and colon carcinoma (RKO), we demonstrate the migration and invasion advantage of tetraploid cells in vitro using several assays, including the wound healing, the OrisTM two-dimensional cell migration, single-cell migration tracking by video microscopy, the Boyden chamber, and the xCELLigence RTCA real-time cell migration. Motility advantage was observed despite tetraploid cell proliferation weakness. We... (More)
Polyploidy and metastasis are associated with a low probability of disease-free survival in cancer patients. Polyploid cells are known to facilitate tumorigenesis. However, few data associate polyploidization with metastasis. Here, by generating and using diploid (2n) and tetraploid (4n) clones from malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) and colon carcinoma (RKO), we demonstrate the migration and invasion advantage of tetraploid cells in vitro using several assays, including the wound healing, the OrisTM two-dimensional cell migration, single-cell migration tracking by video microscopy, the Boyden chamber, and the xCELLigence RTCA real-time cell migration. Motility advantage was observed despite tetraploid cell proliferation weakness. We could also demonstrate preferential metastatic potential in vivo for the tetraploid clone using the tail vein injection in mice and tracking metastatic tumors in the lung. Using the Mitelman Database of Chromosome Aberrations in Cancer, we found an accumulation of polyploid karyotypes in metastatic tumors compared to primary ones. This work reveals the clinical relevance of the polyploid subpopulation and the strategic need to highlight polyploidy in preclinical studies as a therapeutic target for metastasis.
