Effects of DNA damaging agents on cultured fibroblasts derived from patients with Cockayne syndrome.
The cytotoxic action of physical and chemical agents on 10 skin fibroblast strains in culture derived from individuals with Cockayne's syndrome was measured in terms of colony-forming ability. As compared to fibroblasts from normal donors, all Cockayne cell strains tested exhibited a significantly increased sensitivity to UV light and a normal sensitivity to X-rays. Cells from two sets of paren...
متن کاملNormal cytotoxic response of skin fibroblasts from patients with Li-Fraumeni familial cancer syndrome to DNA-damaging agents in vitro.
Skin fibroblasts from patients with the Li-Fraumeni familial cancer syndrome have been reported to show abnormalities in their response to X-irradiation. We have examined the response of fibroblasts from affected and nonaffected individuals in three families to treatment with four DNA-damaging agents: X-rays, UV light, N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine, and mitomycin C. Test cells along with...
متن کاملHypersensitivity to DNA-damaging agents in cultured cells from patients with Usher's syndrome and Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
Lymphoblastoid lines from nine Usher's syndrome (recessively inherited retinitis pigmentosa and congenital sensorineural deafness) patients (representing eight kindreds) and from ten Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients (representing seven kindreds) showed a small but statistically significant hypersensitivity to the lethal effects of X-rays, as measured by the cellular ability to exclude the v...
متن کاملCorrection: Cholesterol Metabolism Is Altered in Rett Syndrome: A Study on Plasma and Primary Cultured Fibroblasts Derived from Patients
Rett (RTT) syndrome is a severe neurological disorder that affects almost exclusively females. Several detectable mutations in the X-linked methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 gene (MECP2) are responsible for the onset of the disease. MeCP2 is a key transcription regulator involved in gene silencing via methylation-dependent remodeling of chromatin. Recent data highlight that lipid metabolism is pertu...
متن کاملIn vitro sensitivity of normal and hereditary retinoblastoma fibroblasts to DNA-damaging agents.
We investigated the ability of nine fibroblast cell strains from patients with the hereditary form of retinoblastoma (RB) to handle various types of DNA-damaging agents and compared the results with those obtained in nine normal strains. Cell strains were exposed to gamma-radiation, which causes DNA scission; actinomycin D, a DNA-intercalating agent; and mitomycin C, a bifunctional alkylating a...
