Dna Damage Analysis in Mammalian Cells by Sma-dmso Complex Using Comet Assay
نویسنده
چکیده
SMA-DMSO complex (RISUG) is a potent anti fertility compound developed by Prof.S.K Guha at IITKharagpur.It has been fabricated as a male contraceptive which works by lowering the pH of vas deference in males and hence damaging the sperms.Cytotoxicity of SMA-DMSO was assessed using COMET assay whereby concentration of SMA-DMSO ranging from .001 M to 1 M was tested for inducing any significant DNA damage in Mammalian (Chinese Hamster Ovary) cell line. 50 cells were scored for each concentration, with 25 cells scored from each of two replicate blind coded slides. Statistical significance of the results was assessed by means of one-tailed Student’s t-test. Analysis of tail length and % DNA amount after treating the CHO cells with varying concentration of SMA-DMSO ,ranging from 0.001 m to 1 m has shown no significant DNA damage and cytotoxicity. Results have shown RISUG to be absolutely safe for futher usage in Mammalian cells.

Crude oil is enriched in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Many PAH analogs have proved to potentially damage DNA. DNA damage can be assessed using various biomarkers to find out the degree of genotoxicity of pollutants following in vitro exposure. In this research the comet assay and micronucleus (MN) test were used to detect DNA damages and cytogenetic changes following crude oil expos...

متن کاملReduced DNA damage in tumor spheroids compared to monolayer cultures exposed to ionizing radiation
Background: Several cell lines when cultured under proper condition can form three dimensional structures called multicellular tumor spheroids. Tumor spheroids are valuable in vitro models for studying physical and biological behavior of real tumors. A number of previous studies using a variety of techniques have shown no relationship between radiosensitivity and DNA strand breaks in monolayer ...
