Recombinational DNA repair and sister chromatid exchanges 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
We show that a recombinational repair mechanism for DNA lesions can be expected to produce exactly the types of exceptions to the usually observed semiconservative segregation of newly synthetized DNA that have been reported in the literature. This removes the obstacles their occurrence appearance to present to the interpretation that the eukaryote chromosome is mononeme, containing but a single DNA double helix prior to replication. We further note that such a recombinational repair system would generate single sister chromatid exchange (SCE) events but not twin SCE events. This, along with other factors, complicates the interpretation of single: twin ratios in terms of any particular model of eukaryote chromosome structure. 相似文献

Influence of three concentrations of thiophosphamide (thioTEPA) on the formation of sister chromatid exchanges (SCE) has been studied at different phases during 2 cell cycles in cultured Chinese hamster cells. It is shown that the frequency of SCE does not differ from the control level under the effect of the mutagen on cells in the G2 phase of the first cell cycle from the moment of harvesting. Thiophosphamide induces the same number of SCE at S, G1 stages of the first cell cycle and G2 of the second one till the moment of harvesting. The number of SCE correlates in a direct proportion with a concentration of thiophosphamide. A scheme of forming SCE is proposed. 相似文献

Assuming a random nature of distribution of sister chromatid exchanges (SCE) in a karyotype, the formulae have been obtained allowing the calculation of the number of SCE that are overlooked because of a limited resolving power of the SCE detection method. The results obtained mean that the actual number of SCE is more than the observed one, the part of overlooked exchanges being increased with the heightening of the SCE level. Taking into account overlook exchanges, the formula has been obtained that makes possible the calculation of the expected number of SCE observed in any group of chromosomes. These results were applied in the analysis of the SCE distribution among chromosomes. A better conformity has been obtained between the expected results and the observed ones, than under the assumption that the observed SCE are distributed in proportion to the lengths of chromosomes. The obtained formulae are of use in interpreting the lack of the observed SCE in small chromosomes and the excess of them in large ones. 相似文献

Background: Propofol is frequently used for general anesthesia in children although little is known about possible genotoxic effects in humans. We investigated the formation of sister chromatid exchanges (SCE) in metaphase chromosomes of T-lymphocytes of children as a marker for possible genotoxocity following total intravenous anesthesia with propofol for minor surgical procedures.Methods: 40 children ASA classification I–III were included (ASA I n=34, ASA II n=5, ASA III n=1) in the study. Anesthesia was induced by propofol (3 mg/kg) and alfentanil. Succinylcholine or rocuronium were administered for muscle relaxation. After tracheal intubation anesthesia was maintained by continuos propofol infusion at 12 mg/(kg h). Blood samples were drawn before induction and after termination of anesthesia. Following a 72 h cell culture period, 25 T-lymphocyte metaphases per blood sample for all children were analyzed for SCE frequencies.Results: Total intravenous anesthesia with propofol on children did not influence SCE rates in metaphase chromosomes of T-lymphocytes. No SCE differences could be detected between blood samples before initiation and after termination of anesthesia (Wilcoxon signed rank test). Slightly elevated SCE rates were obtained in T-lymphocytes of girls compared to boys, but these differences did not reach statistical significance.Conclusions: Propofol anesthesia under the chosen conditions did not induce the formation of SCE in children in vivo. No genotoxic effect of a short term exposure to propofol during pediatric anesthesia had been observed. 相似文献

Summary Log-linear models are fitted to sister chromatid exchange (SCE) scores in order to test the significance of the differences in SCE scores observed between individuals or between experimental treatments. The analysis is performed at the level of chromosome groups. In each single test all measurements from all chromosome groups, both from the control and from the experimental sets, are utilized. By proceeding in this way full use is made of all the available information on the SCE scores at the level of chromosome groups and the shortcomings of the classical Student-t and chi-square tests are avoided.This work was supported by a grant Geconcerteerde Acties from the Belgian Government. 相似文献

Experiments were performed to gain further insight into chromosome structure and behavior at common fragile sites by testing the hypothesis that gaps at these sites predispose to intrachromosomal recombination as measured by sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs). Human lymphocytes were concurrently treated with aphidicolin, for determination of fragile site expression, and with 5-bromodeoxy-uridine, for SCE analysis. Aphidicolin induced chromosome gaps nonrandomly, with the great majority of gaps occurring at common fragile sites. On average, 66% of gaps were accompanied by an SCE at the site of the lesion. Analysis of two specific common fragile sites at 3p14 and 16q23 showed the same pattern; that is, on average 70% of gaps at these sites were accompanied by an SCE. These results show that common fragile sites are hot spots not only for chromosomal lesions such as gaps but also for SCE formation. 相似文献

It has been found that irradiation in doses 0.5-2.0 Gy does not enhance the frequency of sister chromatid exchanges in cells of patients with Down's syndrome and ataxia-telangiectasia compared to the normal cells. In the case of ataxia, this phenomenon was accompanied with radioresistant replicative DNA synthesis, whereas in two cases of Down's syndrome the replicative DNA synthesis was found to be as radiosensitive as in the norm. According to these data, the mechanism of sister chromatid exchanges proposed in our previous publication (Pleskach et al., 1988) seems to be rather doubtful. 相似文献

The ability of UV light, mitomycin C and ionizing radiation to induce the formation of sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) at the same locus in successive cell generations was investigated in human lymphocytes. Cells were exposed to the DNA damaging agents after they had completed their first round of DNA replication, and SCEs were examined at the third division in chromosomes that had been differentially stained three ways. Although some of these treatments induced long-lived lesions that increased the frequency of SCEs in successive cell generations, none of the lesions led to the formation of consecutive SCEs at the same locus in successive cell generations. This observation seriously challenges the hypothesis that SCE cancellation results as a consequence of persistence of the lesions induced by these agents. 相似文献

Summary The influence of temperature on sister chromatid exchanges was investigated, and the results are discussed in connection with factors possibly involved in temperature-induced SCE-formation.Whereas the SCE frequency increased with increasing growth temperature in a cell line of Xenopus laevis (EAX), which permits the examination of great temperature differences, a Chinese hamster cell line (V-79) revealed a U-shaped temperature-response curve. In addition, it was found that cold treatment at 4°C caused an induction of SCEs in the V-79 cell line.Different BrdU concentrations had no effect on the temperature-induced SCE frequencies and mitomycin C led to an induction of SCEs parallel to the base-line values at different temperatures. 相似文献

The induction of virus synthesis and sister chromatid exchange (SCE) formation was investigated in several mammalian cell lines. Ultraviolet light co-induced the production of virus and SCEs in Simian virus 40 (SV40) transformed hamster cells. Post-irradiation treatment with caffeine enhanced virus induction, though it caused a smaller, less consistent elevation of SCE formation. Co-induction of oncovirus synthesis and SCEs was also observed in three murine cell lines exposed to increasing concentrations of 5-bromodeoxyuridine. These and previous data demonstrate a correlation between the induction of virus synthesis and SCE formation in rodent cells exposed to several agents, although inter-agent variation in the correlation may reflect differences between the two processes. 相似文献

Data are presented establishing a direct correlation between 3-aminobenzamide-induced sister chromatid exchange (SCE) frequency and the level of bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporated into DNA. In addition, it is shown that most of the SCEs are induced in the second cell cycle, in which BrdU-containing DNA is used as the template for replication. 相似文献

Orderly execution of two critical events during the cell cycle––DNA replication and chromosome segregation––ensures the stable transmission of genetic materials. The cohesin complex physically connects sister chromatids during DNA replication in a process termed sister chromatid cohesion. Timely establishment and dissolution of sister chromatid cohesion is a prerequisite for accurate chromosome segregation, and is tight regulated by the cell cycle machinery and cohesin-associated proteins. In this review, we discuss recent progress in the molecular understanding of sister chromatid cohesion during the mitotic cell cycle. 相似文献

The induction of SCE by fotrine (0.125 and 0.250 microgram/ml) and thiophosphamide (5 micrograms/ml) during the first three cell cycles was studied in the Chinese hamster cells. No increase in the SCE number was observed after treatment with thiophosphamide and fotrine at the G2 stage (the first stage from the moment of fixation) as compared with the control variants. The maximal sensitivity of the cells to the SCE induction by the mutagens is marked at the G1 stage of the first cell cycle before the moment of fixation. The level of SCE remains approximately the same in the second cell cycle before the moment of fixation (20-32 h) and decreased down to the control level at the G1 stage of the third cell cycle (48-52 h). 相似文献

The effect of different BrdU-concentrations on the cysteamine-induced SCE-rate was investigated in V-79 Chinese hamster cell monolayer cultures. Both cysteamine and its auto-oxidation product cystamine act synergistically with BrdU in the induction of SCEs. A given concentration of these substances produces a low SCE-frequency at low BrdU-concentrations — but the incidence of SCEs is significantly increased at increased BrdU-concentrations. — Using one-cycle substitution experiments and the determination of the relative level of substitution by means of 3HBrdU-incorporation, this synergism was shown to depend on the BrdU incorporated in the DNA and on the extent to which this incorporation takes place. 相似文献

Giemsa technique for the detection of sister chromatid exchanges 总被引:15,自引:4,他引:11
Sister chromatid exchanges are sharply demarcated in Giemsa stained metaphase preparations of Chinese hamster ovary cells and human peripheral leukocytes. Chromatids singly and doubly substituted with BrdU acquire differential Giemsa stain affinities after treatment at 88° C for 10 minutes in 1.0 M Na phosphate buffer (pH 8.0). 相似文献

Summary The effect of cigarette smoking on the frequency of sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) was investigated in a group of adult men. It was observed that there was a significant increase in the mean SCE frequency per cell in smokers. Both the duration of smoking and the number of cigarettes smoked per day appeared to influence SCE frequency. 相似文献

The frequency of sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) was examined as a function of bromodeoxyuridine (BUdR) concentration in vivo. Oneyear-old Wistar rats were continuously infused with BUdR through the tail vein for 24 h, sacrificed, and mitotic preparations prepared from femur bone marrow. It was observed that from the minimum concentration of BUdR which permitted accurate scoring (1.9 μg/g wt/h) to a BUdR concentration of 7 μg/g wt/h, SCE frequency remained constant. Above 7 μg BUdR/g wt/h SCE frequency increased, saturating at higher BUdR concentrations. The stability of SCE frequency at low BUdR concentrations is interpreted to indicate the existence of spontaneous SCEs in vivo. 相似文献

Summary Sister chromatid exchanges (SCE) and chromosome aberrations were induced in nondividing CHO cells that had been arrested in
their cell cycle by deprivation of the essential amino acid arginine. Cells arrested in arginine-deficient medium (ADM) were
treated with one of the mutagenic agents N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) or mitomycin C (MMC) and refed with complete
medium; the recovering cell population was sampled at various intervals thereafter and mitotic cells analyzed for the presence
of chromosome aberrations and SCE. Both chemicals were observed to cause delays in the cell cycle of recovering cells and
to induce, chromosome aberrations and SCE at low doses. We have described the variation in the incidence of chromosome aberrations
and SCE with respect to sampling time and the number of cell cycles traversed. When ADM-arrested CHO cells were treated with
three mutagens at various intervals either before or after release from ADM, it was observed that: (a) UV light induced the
greatest number of SCE when applied to cells undergoing DNA synthesis, and SCE yeilds induced by this agent could be reduced
by postirradiation incubation in ADM; (b) MNNG induced fewer SCE when applied to cells undergoing DNA synthesis, and SCE yields
induced by this agent could not be reduced by posttreatment incubation in ADM for 24 hr. (c) MMC induced the same level irrespective
of the time of exposure, and SCE yields induced by this agent could not be reduced by posttreatment incubation in ADM for
24 hr.
