Hypersensitivity to cell killing and faulty repair of 1-beta-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine-detectable sites in human (ataxia-telangiectasia) fibroblasts treated with 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide.

چکیده
Dermal fibroblast strains from ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) patients and clinically normal subjects were exposed to 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide (4NQO) or its 3-methyl derivative (3me4NQO), and their colony-forming abilities and DNA metabolic properties were compared. Three A-T strains, i.e., AT2BE and AT3BI representing genetic complementation group AB and AT4BI belonging to group C, displayed enhanced (2.4- to 2.8-fold) sensitivity to reproductive inactivation by 4NQO, but exhibited normal survival in response to 3me4NQO. The initial induction and subsequent enzymatic repair of alkali-labile lesions (i.e., damaged sites converted to single-strand breaks in alkali) were quantitated by conventional velocity sedimentation analysis of cellular DNA in alkaline sucrose gradients. On exposure to concentrations of each chemical that produced comparable amounts of DNA damage, A-T and normal cells removed alkali-labile lesions at similar rates. However, the three 4NQO-sensitive A-T strains appeared to be defective in acting on alkali-stable adducts (formed by the parent compound but not its derivative), as judged by strand-break accumulation during posttreatment incubation with 1-beta-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine (araC). Specifically, the number of araC-detectable sites repaired in these A-T strains during the critical 2-h period immediately following 4NQO treatment ranged from 40 to 60% of that processed by normal controls. AT5BI, a fourth A-T strain assigned to complementation group D, responded normally to 4NQO-induced cytotoxicity and removed both alkali-labile and alkali-stable (araC-detectable) lesions normally. We thus conclude that the hypersensitivity of AT2BE, AT3BI, and AT4BI strains to 4NQO may be attributed, at least in part, to faulty execution of the excision-repair process operative on alkali-stable 4NQO adducts.

Inverse correlation between p53 protein levels and DNA repair efficiency in human fibroblast strains treated with 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide: evidence that lesions other than DNA strand breaks trigger the p53 response.
Ionizing radiation-induced stabilization and the resultant transient accumulation of the p53 tumor suppressor protein is impaired in cells from ataxia telangiectasia (AT) patients, indicating a key role for ATM, the gene mutated in AT, upstream in the radiation-responsive p53 signaling pathway. Activation of this pathway is generally assumed to be triggered by DNA strand breaks produced directl...
متن کاملAbnormal Regulation of DMA Replication and Increased Lethality in Ataxia Telangiectasia Cells Exposed to Carcinogenic Agents1
The effect of different carcinogenic agents on the rate of semiconservative DNA replication in normal human and ataxia telangiectasia (AT) cells was investigated. The rate of DNA synthesis in all AT cell strains tested was depressed to a significantly lesser extent than in normal cells after exposure to X-rays under oxia or hypoxia or to bleomycin, agents to which AT cells are hypersensitive. I...

Treatment of FM3A cells with 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide caused a decrease in the sedimentation velocity of a DNA-protein complex, but did not cause a dissociation of the complex, as revealed by neutral sucrose gradient centrifugation. Microscopic autoradiography of the complex spread on a Millipore filter, demonstrated that treatment of the cells with 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide, or of the complex w...

Because of a possible etiologic link between mutations and carcinogenesis, we compared fibroblasts derived from skin biopsies of several patients with hereditary cutaneous malignant melanoma and the dysplastic nevus syndrome for sensitivity to the mutagenic and/or cytotoxic effect of broad-spectrum simulated sunlight and of a UV mimetic carcinogen, 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide (4NQO). The genetic m...
