Description An accumulation of numerous chromosomal structural aberrations is a typical feature of the human colon adenocarcinoma cell line HT-29. In these cells the chromosome 8 territories were visualized using fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH), which enabled to distinguish the aberrant chromosome 8 homologue from the normal one. Analyses of nuclear parameters revealed differences in radial positioning between chromosome homologues analysed. In comparison with an normal chromosome 8, the aberrant chromosome 8 territory was positioned closer to the nuclear periphery. Under standard conditions HT-29 cells displayed relatively undifferentiated phenotype but incubation of these cells in the presence of sodium butyrate (5mM) induced biochemical and morphological changes that are typical of well-differentiated phenotype of enterocytes. 2D analysis of the distances between centre of nucleus-to-centre of chromosome 8 territory revealed that sodium butyrate did not affect nuclear arrangem.
