DNA replication occurs in all lamina positive micronuclei, but never in lamina negative micronuclei.
A micronucleus is a small nucleus-like structure found in the cytoplasm of dividing cells that suffered from genotoxic stress. It is generally hypothesised that micronuclei content is eventually lost from cells, though the mechanism of how this occurs is unknown. If DNA located within the micronucleus is not replicated, it may explain the loss of micronuclei content. Because there had been no c...
متن کاملLymphocyte Micronuclei in Cancer Patients
Chromosomal instability could be one of primary causes for malignant cell transformation. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the spontaneous genetic damages in circulated lymphocytes of newly diagnosed cancer patients by using cytokinesis-block micronucleus (CBMN) assay, with respect to the factors that might affect micronucleus frequency (i.e. age, gender, smoking habits and ca...
متن کاملMetal nanoparticle-induced micronuclei and oxidative DNA damage in mice
Several mechanisms regarding the adverse health effects of nanomaterials have been proposed. Among them, oxidative stress is considered to be one of the most important. Many in vitro studies have shown that nanoparticles generate reactive oxygen species, deplete endogenous antioxidants, alter mitochondrial function and produce oxidative damage in DNA. 8-Hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine is a major type...
متن کاملMicronuclei and pesticide exposure.
Micronucleus (MN) is a biomarker widely used in biomonitoring studies carried out to determine the genetic risk associated to pesticide exposure. Many in vitro and in vivo studies, as well as epidemiological approaches, have demonstrated the ability of certain chemical pesticides to produce genetic effects including cancer and other chronic pathologies in humans; thus, biomonitoring studies hav...
متن کاملReplication Stress Induces Micronuclei Comprising of Aggregated DNA Double-Strand Breaks
BACKGROUND Micronuclei (MN) in mammalian cells serve as a reliable biomarker of genomic instability and genotoxic exposure. Elevation of MN is commonly observed in cells bearing intrinsic genomic instability and in normal cells exposed to genotoxic agents. DNA double-strand breaks are marked by phosphorylation of H2AX at serine 139 (γ-H2AX). One subclass of MN contains massive and uniform γ-H2A...
