Genotoxicity induced by arsenic compounds in peripheral human lymphocytes analysed by cytokinesis-block micronucleus assay.
This work focuses on the analysis of genotoxic effects on human peripheral lymphocytes exposed in vitro to different arsenic (As) compounds by means of the cytokinesis-block micronucleus assay. The study was carried out by challenging peripheral human lymphocytes with six As compounds in trivalent or pentavalent forms such as arsenite (As(III)) and arsenate (As(V)) and organoarsenic species suc...
متن کاملMicronuclei induced by reverse transcriptase inhibitors in mononucleated and binucleated cells as assessed by the cytokinesis-block micronucleus assay
This study evaluated the clastogenic and/or aneugenic potential of three nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (zidovudine - AZT, lamivudine - 3TC and stavudine - d4T) using the cytokinesis-block micronucleus (CBMN) assay in human lymphocyte cultures. All three inhibitors produced a positive response when tested in binucleated cells. The genotoxicity of AZT and 3TC was restricted to binuc...
متن کاملEffects of spindle poisons in peripheral human lymphocytes by the in vitro cytokinesis-block micronucleus assay.
The search for micronuclei (MN) in binucleated cells is not always the best choice to recognize microtubule-perturbing agents, as they give rise to (micronucleated) mononucleated cells, mainly via mitotic slippage. We therefore treated peripheral lymphocytes with vincristine (VCR), nocodazole (NOC) and colcemid (COL): (i) to quantify the formation of MN in mononucleated cells and the occurrence...
متن کاملCharacterization of micronuclei induced in human lymphocytes by benzene metabolites.
Benzene is an established human leukemogen. Workers occupationally exposed to benzene exhibit increased frequencies of both structural and numerical chromosomal aberrations in their peripheral blood lymphocytes. The metabolite(s) responsible for these chromosomal aberrations has not yet been identified. Using a modified micronucleus assay, we have examined the ability of the metabolites of benz...
متن کاملMicronucleus assay of human lymphocytes: a comparison of cytokinesis-block and human capillary blood lymphocytes methods.
Micronucleus (MN) expression in Peripheral blood lymphocytes is well established as a method to monitor chromosome damage in human populations. The use of MN as a measure of chromosome damage in peripheral blood lymphocytes was first proposed by Countryman and Heddle and subsequently improved with the development of the cytokinesis-block micronucleus (CBMN) method, which has been extensively us...
