| Research Abstract |
BRCA2 germline mutations account for the majority of heredity breast and ovarian cancer. A major function of BRCA2 is known as a regulator of homologous recombination in DNA damage repair. In addition, BRCA2 also plays an important role in centrosomal regulation, whose dysfunction might be involved in
the tumorigenesis of breast cancer. Even so, detail molecular mechanism is
not yet uncovered. In the present study, we tried to locate a molecular region of BRCA2 responsible for this function. Series of BRCA2 fragments were exogenously expressed in human cultured cells. Numbers of centrosome in a cell are counted to see if an overexpression of a specific fragment could impair a numerical integrity of centrosomes. For this purpose we developed an automated centrosome-counting system based on image recognition, which allows us to judge a large number of transfected cells without human bias.
