Genomic instabilities including chromosomal translocations are frequently associated with genetic diseases and cancer, especially leukemia. Cytogenetic studies of these diseases requiring preparation of metaphase chromosomes are often key to revealing their chromosomal abnormalities. Treatment of in vitro disease cell cultures with cell cycle inhibitors, e.g. colcemid, have proved to be a very simple and effective metaphase preparation method for cytogenetic studies. Two good examples are metaphase preparation from cultured cells and some types of myeloid leukemia. However, this approach has some limitions and disadvantages: 1) it is difficult to grow many types of primary cell in vitro; 2) in vitro cultures tend to introduce additional artificial mutations to the genome. To overcome these issues, we have established an approach to prepare metaphase chromosomes directly from murine bone marrow. With this new approach, we were able to get 5-10% of metaphase chromosomes from primary bone marrow leukocytes and identify chromosomal translocations recurring in a Pten null murine model developing T cell leukemia (Figure 1,2 [1]). ; g!

In the case of adherent cell cultures, grow until they reach 60%–70% confluence (% confluence means the degree to which cells are making contact with each other). This determination is made using an inverted tissue-culture microscope.8 `4 S! V" D. g; c* m

▲ CRITICAL STEP For fast-growing cultures, reduce time of exposure to colcemid, and for slower-growing cultures, incubate for several hours with colcemid. Monitor cells throughout incubation period under the inverted tissue-culture microscope. Ideally, cultures with approximately 10–15 dividing cells per field of view (cells appear round and shiny) are ready for harvesting of metaphase chromosomes. For suspension and adherent cultures, one 75-cm2 flask should provide sufficient numbers of cells for$ n, U: l+ V, c( }3 b+ C* F9 @

12. To determine chromosome quality, use the flame method or other ways to spread and stain chromosomes on slides. Drop 30µL fixed cells onto pre-cleaned and wet slides tilted at a 45 degree angle. Put slides in burner flame for 2 seconds to allow chromosomes to spread out. Let slides dry.# N3 K+ R% l: u& z7 ^8 N! S6 P
13. dilute 20x Giemsa stain with water to 1x Giemsa solution. Stain chromosome spread slides with 1x Giemsa solution for 5 minutes. Wash off Giemsa solution and let slides dry. Check chromosome quality under microscope.2 ^( T/ W u2 a# I- c

Troubleshooting 4 u+ M% L( F. O8 k }/ {1 Y; y1Few chromosome spreads are available on slides. This is due to poor chromosome spreading by the flame method (Step 12). More practice runs should be conducted to improve spreading techniques. Alternative methods, such as dropping onto ice-cold wet slides from 30cm higher, are available for use, too.
