[Minisatellite instability induced by okadaic acid].
Okadaic acid (OA) is an inhibitor of serine/threonine protein phosphatase (PP) and a tumor promoter in mouse skin carcinogenesis. According to Carcinogenesis Division, National Cancer Center Research Institute, OA induces various genetic alterations, such as loss of exogenous genes, sister chromatid exchanges and diphtheria toxin resistant mutants, although there is no evidence showing that it ...
متن کاملInduction of minisatellite mutation in NIH 3T3 cells by treatment with the tumor promoter okadaic acid.
Okadaic acid (OA) is a strong tumor promoter of mouse skin carcinogenesis and also a potent inhibitor of serine/threonine protein phosphatases. OA induces various genetic alterations in cultured cells, such as diphtheria-toxin-resistance mutations, sister chromatid exchange, exclusion of exogenous transforming oncogenes, and gene amplification. The present study revealed that it caused minisate...
متن کاملSpontaneous and induced minisatellite instability in the human genome.
1. Minisatellites, originally developed for forensic DNA fingerprinting and profiling, have also provided extremely informative systems for analysing processes of tandem repeat DNA turnover in the human genome. 2. Minisatellite instability involves distinct mutation processes in somatic and germline cells. In sperm, tandem repeat instability most likely arises at meiosis as a by-product of high...
متن کاملOkadaic acid induces interphase to mitotic-like microtubule dynamic instability by inactivating rescue
We used high-resolution video microscopy to visualize microtubule dynamic instability in extracts of interphase sea urchin eggs and to analyze the changes that occur upon addition of 0.8-2.5 microM okadaic acid, an inhibitor of phosphatase 1 and 2A (PP1, PP2a) (Bialojan, D., and A. Takai. 1988. Biochem. J. 256:283-290). Microtubule plus-ends in these extracts oscillated between the elongation a...
متن کاملPretreatment with memantine prevents Alzheimer-like alterations induced by intrahippocampal okadaic acid administration in rats.
Cerebral okadaic acid (OA) administration induces Alzheimer's disease (AD)-like phenotype in rats. Alterations in glutamate levels associated with hyperactivation of cyclin dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) signaling pathway downstream Tau phosphorylation may participate in the genesis of this pathological phenotype. Here, we examined the efficacy of memantine (MN) pretreatment on reducing OA-induced A...
