Etoposide induces chromosomal abnormalities in mouse spermatocytes and stem cell spermatogonia.
BACKGROUND Etoposide (ET) is a chemotherapeutic agent widely used in the treatment of leukaemia, lymphomas and many solid tumours such as testicular and ovarian cancers, all of which are common in patients of reproductive age. The purpose of the study was to characterize the long-term effects of ET on male germ cells using sperm fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analyses. METHODS Chro...
متن کاملEtoposide induces MLL rearrangements and other chromosomal abnormalities in human embryonic stem cells.
MLL rearrangements are hallmark genetic abnormalities in infant leukemia known to arise in utero. They can be induced during human prenatal development upon exposure to etoposide. We also hypothesize that chronic exposure to etoposide might render cells more susceptible to other genomic insults. Here, for the first time, human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) were used as a model to test the effect...
متن کاملID4 levels dictate the stem cell state in mouse spermatogonia.
Spermatogenesis is a classic model of cycling cell lineages that depend on a balance between stem cell self-renewal for continuity and the formation of progenitors as the initial step in the production of differentiated cells. The mechanisms that guide the continuum of spermatogonial stem cell (SSC) to progenitor spermatogonial transition and precise identifiers of subtypes in the process are u...
متن کاملEtoposide induces heritable chromosomal aberrations and aneuploidy during male meiosis in the mouse.
Etoposide, a topoisomerase II inhibitor widely used in cancer therapy, is suspected of inducing secondary tumors and affecting the genetic constitution of germ cells. A better understanding of the potential heritable risk of etoposide is needed to provide sound genetic counseling to cancer patients treated with this drug in their reproductive years. We used a mouse model to investigate the effe...
متن کاملAutoradiographic Study of Dna Synthesis and the Cell Cycle in Spermatogonia and Spermatocytes of Mouse Testis Using Tritiated Thymidine
Mice were injected intraperitoneally with 15 microc of H(3)-thymidine. The time course of the labeling in spermatogonia and spermatocytes was studied by using autoradiography on 5 micro sections stained by the periodic acid-Schiff method and hematoxylin over a period of 57 hours after injection. Four generations of type A (called AI, AII, AIII, and AIV), one of intermediate, and one of type B s...
