Correlations between intercalator-induced DNA strand breaks and sister chromatid exchanges, mutations, and cytotoxicity in Chinese hamster cells.
Intercalator-induced DNA strand breaks in mammalian cells represent topoisomerase II:DNA complexes trapped by intercalators. These complexes are detected as protein-associated DNA single-strand breaks (SSB) and DNA double-strand breaks (DSB) by filter elution. Using Chinese hamster lung fibroblasts (V79 cells) that were treated for 30 min with various concentrations of 4'-(9-acridinylamino)meth...
متن کاملMetabolism, sister chromatid exchanges, and DNA single-strand breaks induced by 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone and their modulation by vitamin A in vitro.
The nicotine-derived N-nitrosamine 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1- butanone (NNK) is abundant in smokeless tobacco and tobacco smoke and is hepatocarcinogenic in F344 rats. We have investigated how vitamin A modulates sister chromatid exchanges and DNA single-strand breaks induced by NNK. In V79 cells, vitamin A at concentrations ranging from 34.9 to 139.6 microM inhibited sister chromat...
متن کاملInduction by alkylating agents of sister chromatid exchanges and chromatid breaks in Fanconi's anemia.
Sister chromatid exchanges, which may reflect chromosome repair in response to certain types of DNA damage, provide a means of investigating the increased chromosome fragility characteristic of Fanconi's anemia. By a recently developed technique using 33258 Hoechst and 5-bromodeoxyuridine, it was observed that the baseline frequency of sister chromatid exchanges in phytohemagglutinin-stimulated...
متن کاملGossypol induces DNA strand breaks in human fibroblasts and sister chromatid exchanges in human lymphocytes in vitro.
The male contraceptive agent gossypol was found to induce a dose related increase of DNA strand breaks in human fibroblasts in vitro at concentrations of 5 to 40 micrograms/ml. The effect was reduced in the presence of 2% fetal calf serum. A weak but reproducible increase in the SCE frequency was found in human lymphocytes treated for 1 hour in serum-free medium with 0.04 to 4 micrograms/ml of ...
متن کاملTrex2 enables spontaneous sister chromatid exchanges without facilitating DNA double-strand break repair.
Trex2 is a 3' → 5' exonuclease that removes 3'-mismatched sequences in a biochemical assay; however, its biological function remains unclear. To address biology we previously generated trex2(null) mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells and expressed in these cells wild-type human TREX2 cDNA (Trex2(hTX2)) or cDNA with a single-amino-acid change in the catalytic domain (Trex2(H188A)) or in the DNA-bindi...
