Abstract

Loss of chromosome integrity is a major contributor to cancer. Checkpoints within the cell division cycle that facilitate the accuracy and outcome of chromosome segregation are thus critical pathways for preserving chromosome integrity and preventing chromosomal instability. The spindle assembly checkpoint, the decatenation checkpoint and the post-mitotic tetraploidy checkpoint ensure the appropriate establishment of the spindle apparatus, block mitotic entry upon entanglement of chromosomes or prevent further progression of post-mitotic cells that display massive spindle defects. Most of our knowledge on these mechanisms originates from studies conducted in yeast, cancer cell lines and differentiated cells. Considering that in many instances cancer derives from transformed stem and progenitor cells, our knowledge on these checkpoints in these cells just started to emerge. With this review, we provide a general overview of the current knowledge of these checkpoints in embryonic as well as in adult stem and progenitor cells with a focus on the hematopoietic system and outline common mis-regulations of their function associated with cancer and leukemia. Most cancers are aging-associated diseases. We will thus also discuss changes in the function and outcome of these checkpoints upon aging of stem and progenitor cells.
