Paracoccidioidomycosis is a systemic fungal infection caused by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis. As infectious diseases can cause DNA damage, the authors aimed at analyzing DNA breakage in peripheral blood cells of patients with paracoccidioidomycosis by using the comet assay. The results suggested that paracoccidioidomycosis does not cause genotoxicity. Key-words: Paracoccidioidomycosis. Paracoc...
normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa microsoftinternetexplorer4 background : cotoneaster discolor and alhagi pseudalhagi are two important kinds of iranian manna. they have several therapeutic applications in adults and children. the most important ingredient of cotoneaster discolor is mannitol. due to the scarcity of toxicological studies on these compounds, their genotoxicity was e...
abstractbackground: radioprotective effects of famotidine, an antagonist of h2 receptor clinically used for peptic ulcer treatment, was previously shown on radiation-induced micronuclei and chromosomal aberration in human peripheral blood lymphocytes and mouse bone marrow cells. this study was conducted to investigate radioprotective property of famotidine against radiation induced apoptosis in...
Assessment of zinc status remains a challenge largely because serum/plasma zinc may not accurately reflect an individual's zinc status. The comet assay, a sensitive method capable of detecting intracellular DNA strand breaks, may serve as a functional biomarker of zinc status. We hypothesized that effects of zinc supplementation on intracellular DNA damage could be assessed from samples collect...
The single cell gel electrophoresis or Comet assay is one of the most popular techniques for genotoxicity assessment. The present study was undertaken to validate our previously modified version of the Comet assay for genotoxicity assessment in Drosophila melanogaster (Oregon R(+)) with four well-known mutagenic and carcinogenic alkylating agents, i.e. ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS), methyl metha...
The comet assay or single cell gel electrophoresis has proven to be a versatile and sensitive method of measuring the induction and repair of DNA damage in individual cells. However, one of the drawbacks of the assay is the bias caused by changes in the ability of cells to repair DNA damage in different cell cycle phases. Whereas the bias seems less important when G0 peripheral blood lymphocyte...
The comet assay has become a popular method for the assessment of DNA damage in biomonitoring studies and genetic toxicology. However, few studies have addressed the issue of the noted inter-laboratory variability of DNA damage measured by the comet assay. In this study, 12 laboratories analysed the level of DNA damage in monocyte-derived THP-1 cells by either visual classification or computer-...
Citation: Langie SAS, Azqueta A and Collins AR (2015) The comet assay: past, present, and future. The alkaline comet assay (single cell gel electrophoresis) is the most widely used method for measuring DNA damage in eukaryotic cells (Neri et al., 2015). It detects strand breaks (SBs) and alkali-labile sites at frequencies from a few hundred to several thousand breaks per cell—a biologically use...
The contributions to this special issue of Mutagenesis have been selected to cover the main research areas served by the comet assay, namely genotoxicology, environmental toxicology, human biomonitoring and fundamental investigations into mechanisms of DNA damage and repair. Innovative methods are described, technical issues are explored, and guidelines are given for venturing into relatively n...
The nongravitational perturbations in the motion of the periodic comet Wolf-Harrington are investigated during its nine observable apparitions in the period 1924–1998. To explain the irregular variations in the nongravitational acceleration, two different models are considered and successfully used to link all the apparitions: a) Model of nucleus with the activation and deactivation of discrete...
