Chromosome aberrations in workers exposed to arsenic.
The occurrence of chromosome aberrations was studied in short-term cultured lymphocytes from nine workers exposed to arsenic at the Rönnskär smeltery in northern Sweden. In the smelter workers, 87 aberrations were found in 819 mitoses. The number of aberrations varied individually from 0 to 25 aberrations per 100 cells. In a control material 13 aberrations were found in 1012 mitoses. The freque...
متن کاملInduction of chromosomal aberrations in human primary fibroblasts and immortalized cancer cells exposed to extremely-low-frequency electromagnetic fields
Background: Rapidly increasing possibilities of exposure to environmental extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMF) have become a topic of worldwide investigation. Epidemiological and laboratory studies suggest that exposure to ELF-EMF may increase cancer risk therefore assessment of chromosomal damage in various cell lines might be of predictive value for future risk es...
متن کاملIntragenomal distribution of DNA repair synthesis: repair in satellite and mainband DNA in cultured mouse cells.
DNA repair synthesis was examined in mouse satellite and mainband DNA derived from confluent Balb/c 3T3 cells damaged with ultraviolet radiation or N-acetoxy-2-acetylaminofluorene. Two different approaches were used: (i) Contact-inhibited cells were treated with hydroxyurea to reduce replicative synthesis to low levels; and (ii) bromodeoxyuridine was used to label newly replicated DNA in cells ...
متن کاملChromosome Aberrations in Cultured Human Leukocytes Treated with 8-ethoxycaffeine
Structural chromosome changes induced by 8-eth-oxycaffeine (EOC) have been demonstrated in plants by Kihlman (1). Reduction of mitotic activity by E O C treatment has been observed in human fetal kidney cell cultures (2) and in embryo skin cultures (3). An increase in abnormal postmeta-phases in treated cultures of Sarcoma-180 indicated that EOC also produced chromosome aberrations in mammalian...
متن کاملRecruitment of DNA repair synthesis machinery to sites of DNA damage/repair in living human cells
The eukaryotic sliding DNA clamp, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), is essential for DNA replication and repair synthesis. In order to load the ring-shaped, homotrimeric PCNA onto the DNA double helix, the ATPase activity of the replication factor C (RFC) clamp loader complex is required. Although the recruitment of PCNA by RFC to DNA replication sites has well been documented, our und...
