Nuclear architecture and the induction of chromosomal aberrations.

چکیده
Progress in fluorescence in situ hybridization, three dimensional microscopy and image analysis has provided the means to study the three-dimensional structure and distribution of chromosome territories within the cell nucleus. In this contribution, we summarize the present state of knowledge of the territorial organization of interphase chromosomes and their topological relationships with other macromolecular domains in the human cell nucleus, and present data from computer simulations of chromosome territory distributions. On this basis, we discuss models of chromosome territory and nuclear architecture and topological consequences for the formation of chromosome exchanges.

Induction of chromosomal aberrations in human primary fibroblasts and immortalized cancer cells exposed to extremely-low-frequency electromagnetic fields
Background: Rapidly increasing possibilities of exposure to environmental extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMF) have become a topic of worldwide investigation. Epidemiological and laboratory studies suggest that exposure to ELF-EMF may increase cancer risk therefore assessment of chromosomal damage in various cell lines might be of predictive value for future risk es...

Application of nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (NMRI) as a non-invasive and accurate imaging procedure has been widely used in recent years. Meanwhile, the biological effects of magnetic fields of several tesla (T) and high energy radiofrequency (RF) is not fully known yet. Because of controversy over this issue, the present research has been carried out in order to verify the effects of...
متن کاملVariablity of chromosomal radioadaptive response in human lymphocytes.
Background : There are growing evidences for chromosomal radioadaptive response in human lymphocytes . Highly variable inter- and intra-individual responses have been reported. Some individuals are non-responders and even in some donors the frequency of chromatid aberrations induced by a challenge dose increases by pre-exposure to an adapting dose. It has been proposed that the lack of radioada...
متن کاملبررسی انحرافهای کروموزومی در کارسینوم داکتال مهاجم پستان به روش هیبریدیزاسیون ژنومی مقایسهای
Background: Nonlethal genetic damage is the basis for carcinogenesis. As various gene aberrations accumulate, malignant tumors are formed, regardless of whether the genetic damage is subtle or large enough to be distinguished in a karyotype. The study of chromosomal changes in tumor cells is important in the identification of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes by molecular cloning of genes in...

Background and purpose : Ït is clearly shown that ionising radiations induce various kinds of DNÂ damages majority of which as sub-lethal damages, are repaired but still some of them are left urepaired and lead to chromosomal aberrations. These chromosomal aberrations in radiation workers, who are occupationally exposed to radiation,could be assayed with cytogenetic evaluation methods.These c...
متن کاملRetrospective assessment of radiation dose by Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization and evaluation of stable chromosomal aberrations
Estimation of absorbed dose for radiation workers or person involved in different radiological accident is the aim of biodosimetry. Cytogenetic methods are the most current and applicable biodosimetry tools. In chronic or protracted exposure, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), stable chromosomal aberration is used for estimation of absorbed dose. For precise estimation of absorbed dose,...
