genotoxic effects of tobacco on buccal epithelium: cell nuclear anomalies as biomarker

چکیده
background: tobacco use has toxic effects on different organs. this study was carried out to assess the effect of indigenous tobacco both in smoking (bidi) and smokeless (gutkha, zarda and khaini) forms on buccal cells at chromosomal level, through assessment of different nuclear anomalies as biomarker. methods:this study was done on people living in durgapur and its adjacent areas, west bengal, india during january to july 2011. the samples were collected from 50 smokers (case group), 50 smokeless tobacco consumers or chewers (case group) and 50 non-tobacco consumers (control group). micronucleus assay was used to assess buccal cell nuclear changes. buccal smears collected from study subjects were prepared on a grease free slide. prepared slides were observed under light microscope and 2 to 5 fields were observed randomly for counting the different anomalies. in each field, the frequency of each anomaly was assessed in 100 cells and reported with percentage. results:chewers had significantly the highest frequency of all nuclear anomalies compared to smokers and healthy controls (hcs). smokers also had significantly more anomalies compared to hcs. condensed chromatin (cc), karyolysis (kl) and bi-nucleation (bn) in chewers and cc, pyknosis and bn in smokers were the most frequent anomalies. kl was significantly more frequent in chewers compared to smokers (59.8 ± 6.4 vs. 24.2 ± 12.4%, p < 0.001), however, the frequency of other nuclear anomalies were not significantly different in these two study groups. presence of each nuclear anomaly was significantly greater in older ages in all study groups. conclusion:tobacco can cause and increase the rate of nuclear anomalies in both smoking and smokeless forms compared to hcs. the genotoxic effects of tobacco on buccal cells are partly age-related. cell nuclear anomalies in buccal tissue can be used as biomarker indicating the detrimental effects of tobacco.

The micronucleus (MN) assay on exfoliated buccal cells is a useful and minimally invasive method for monitoring genetic damage in humans. To determine the genotoxic effects of calcite dust that forms during processing, MN assay was carried out in exfoliated buccal cells of 50 (25 smokers and 25 non-smokers) calcite factory workers and 50 (25 smokers and 25 non-smokers) age- and sex-matched cont...

متن کاملIncreased human buccal cell autofluorescence is a candidate biomarker of tobacco smoking.
Human buccal cells display diverse changes that are associated with smoked and smokeless tobacco, and clinicopathologic studies have correlated human buccal cell changes with oral cancer. Reported herein are the results of studies that were undertaken to identify a high-throughput technology that would advance efforts to use human buccal cells. We report that (a) a relatively large (mean +/- SD...
متن کاملOGG1 DNA Repair Gene Polymorphism As a Biomarker of Oxidative and Genotoxic DNA Damage
Background: Single nucleotide polymorphisms in 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase-1 (OGG1) gene modulates DNA repair capacity and functions as one of the first lines of protective mechanisms against 8-hydroxy-2’-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) mutagenicity. OGG1-Cys326 gene polymorphism may decrease DNA repair function, causing oxidative stress due to higher oxidative DNA damage. The main purpose of this stu...
