Comet assay as a sensitive technique in occupational health studies; A literature review
Background: Occupational health is a sensitive field in many countries where occupational exposure needs attention due to the lack of awareness. Several businesses, including leather, textile, iron, steel, and dyeing industries use a variety of mutagenic and genotoxic chemicals. Exposure to these chemicals may pose serious health risks, including genetic damage to workers. Comet assay is a tech...
متن کاملGenotoxic and Antigenotoxic Activity of Silymarin by an In Vivo Bone Marrow Micronucleus Assay and Comet Assay
Introduction: Silymarin is obtained from Silybum marianum (milk thistle), an edible plant that has long been used medicinally for the treatment of liver-related disorders. Silymarin is a powerful hepatoprotective and antioxidant but the anticlastogenic activity, which is an important aspect of its cancer chemoprevention is not known hence the present investigation was carried out to study its...
متن کاملEvaluation of incubation temperatures on DNA damages of the Caspian trout (Salmo trutta caspius Kessler, 1877) single cells through developmental stages by Comet assay
Caspian trout (Salmo trutta caspius Kessler, 1877) is an endemic migratory subspecies in the Caspian Sea, possessing ecologic-economic and biodiversity greatly value. Among habitat factors, temperature and its possible effects on the Caspian trout genome were considered in this research. During Embryonic developmental stages (fertilization–hatching), genomic alterations of single cells were ass...
متن کاملProtective effects of phenolic acids on mercury-induced DNA damage in precision-cut kidney slices
Objective(s): Precision-cut tissue slices are considered an organotypic 3D model widely used in biomedical research. The comet assay is an important screening test for early genotoxicity risk assessment that is mainly applied on in vitro models. The aim of the present study was to provide a 3D organ system for determination of genotoxicity using a modified method of the comet assay since the s...
متن کاملDNA Damage in Leukocytes from Fanconi Anemia (FA) Patients and Heterozygotes Induced by Mitomycin C and Ionizing Radiation as Assessed by the Comet and Comet-FISH Assay
Background: Lymphocytes of Fanconi anemia (FA) show an increased sensitivity to the alkylating agents such as mitomycin C (MMC), but their responses to gamma-irradiation is controversial. The extent of DNA damage in leukocytes of FA patients following irradiation and MMC treatment was studied at cellular and single chromosome level. Methods: DNA damage induced by gamma-rays and MMC was measure...
