Ethylation of Nucleic Acids by Ethylnitrosourea-l-14C in the Fetal and Adult Rat1
نویسندگان
چکیده
The monofunctional alkylating agent jV-ethyl-TV-nitrosourea has become known as a highly potent transplacental pulse carcinogen, specifically directed against cells associated with the nervous system. In the present study, the formation of the alkylation product 7-ethylguanine in the nucleic acids of brain and liver of both fetal and adult BD-IX rats (18th day of gestation) was demonstrated by ion-exchange radiochromatography, after administration of jV-ethylW-nitrosourea-l-^C. One hr after i.v. injection of 75 fig of TV-ethyl-W-nitrosourea-l14C/g body weight (~30% of the 50% lethal dose), the

متن کاملI-40: Non Invasive Prenatal Genetic Diagnosis;Current Status and The Future
Discovery of cell free fetal DNA in 1997 has deeply changed the outlook of prenatal diagnosis approaches as most of the clinically established screening tests are not sensitive/specific enough while the current practical diagnostic tests are also invasive in their nature. The most common prenatal screening test is routinely practiced for the diagnosis of Down syndrome (DS) which includes a 10% ...
متن کاملO-16: Metabolism of Exogenous Fatty Acids, Fatty Acid-Mediated Cholesterol Efflux, PKA and PKC Pathways in Boar Sperm Acrosome Reaction
Background: For understanding the roles of fatty acids on the induction of acrosome reaction which occurs under association of cholesterol efflux and PKA or PKC pathways in boar spermatozoa, metabolic fate of alone and combined radiolabeled 14C-oleic acid and 3H-linoleic acid incorporated in the sperm was compared, and behavior of cholesterol and effects of PKA and PKC inhibitors upon fatty aci...
متن کاملCellular Morphology and Immunologic Properties of Escherichia coli Treated With Antimicrobial Antisense Peptide Nucleic Acid
Background & Objectives: Antisense peptide nucleic acids (PNA) that target growth essential genes show potent bactericidal properties without cell lysis. We considered the possibility that whether PNA treatment influence the bacteria total nucleic acids content and apply approach to develop a new delivery system to Dendritic cells (DCs). DCs are the most potent antigen presenting cells in th...
متن کاملDevelopment of the Metanephric Kidney
The metanephric kidney was studied in fetal and older mice beginning at 16 days after mating of the parents. Polyribosomes from fetal kidneys labeled in vitro with 14C-labeled amino acids had 10-20 times more acid-precipitable radioactivity associated with them than polysomes from adult kidneys similarly labeled. Between 3 and 6 days after birth the rate incorporation of labeled amino acids by ...
