We have found a new biological function of interferons, namely, their capacity to protect human cells from the action of some physical and chemical mutagens. To evaluate the protective effect of interferons the following criteria were applied: formation of sister chromatid exchanges (SCE) and chromosomal aberrations (CA), as well as viability of cells and intensity of DNA repair synthesis. Pretreatment of cells with natural interferon decreased the number of sister chromatid exchanges and chromosomal aberrations, induced by different mutagens, and increased the intensity of DNA repair synthesis. This is attributed to the ability of interferon to enhance certain phases of DNA repair. In the case of photomutagenic action of 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP) on the lymphocytes, when monoadducts (MA) only, or both monoadducts and interstrand cross-links (ICL) are formed, the antimutagenic effect of interferon is exhibited only with respect to ICL. Unlike the natural interferon, the recombinant alpha 2-interferon failed to have any effect on the lymphocytes of clinically healthy donors exposed to gamma-radiation. In the repair- deficient cells (Marfan's syndrome) the protection of natural interferon against the action of 4-nitroquinoline-1'-oxide and gamma- radiation was found to be reduced significantly and that of alpha 2-interferon was not manifested at all. Thus, the capacity of interferons to alter the DNA repair, conceivably, depends on the type of interferon and on the cell genotype. 相似文献

The radioadaptive response was assessed by the chromosome aberration test in lymphocytes of humans with hereditary diseases of connective tissue, which were earlier characterized as repair-deficient: Marfan syndrome (SM), Elers-Danlos syndrome (E-D), and homocystinurea (HCU). The radioadaptive response was observed in cells of patients with Marfan syndrome and Elers-Danlos syndrome but not in cells of patients with homocystinurea. Parameters of cell protection against gamma-irradiation at radioadaptive response were similar to those obtained in cells pretreated with interferon. These data indicate, first, the possibility that repair pathways and the radioadaptive response are independent and second, that there are common pathways of protection upon radioadaptive response and the antimutagenic action of interferon. 相似文献

DNA repair synthesis (RS) was investigated in lymphocytes of healty donors and repair-deficient cells (Marfan's syndrome), treated with inhibitor of superoxidedismutase (SOD)--TRIEN--after gamma-irradiation. Significant difference was revealed in cells of healthy donors and Marfan's syndrome: in cells of healthy donors TRIEN stimulated DNA RS whereas this effect didn't observed in Marfan's syndrome cells. So it is possible to suppose that SOD activity is different in normal and gamma-repair-deficient cells. 相似文献

Summary The influence of repair and replication on the frequency of spontaneous chromosome aberrations and of those induced by gamma-irradiation is reported.Using the technique of labelling DNA with radioactive 3H-thymidine and measuring the radioactivity of DNA isolated from embryos, the time of initiation and the duration of DNA synthesis in barley seeds was studied after the soaking of the seeds had begun. The average duration of each phase of the first DNA synthesis cycle in soaking barley seeds was found to be as follows: pre-DNA synthesis stage, 10–11 hrs; DNA synthesis stage, 8 hrs. After gamma-irradiation, the intensity of DNA synthesis decreased and the beginning of DNA synthesis was delayed.It was found that the inhibition of repair by caffeine led to an increase in the frequency of both spontaneous and induced chromosome aberrations. Caffeine enhanced several times the frequency of chromosome and chromatid aberrations at the time of the maximal activity of repair enzymes. During DNA replication, caffeine had a lower effect on the realization of premutational lesions.An inhibitor of DNA replication — hydroxyurea — had no influence on the frequency of spontaneous chromosome aberrations during the replication period, whereas after gamma-irradiation, hydroxyurea enhanced the frequency of aberrations mainly at the stage of DNA replication.The relatively small mutagenic action of both agents (caffeine and hydroxyurea) was observed during all stages of the cell cycle of germinating barley seeds. 相似文献

In V-79 cells the Effects of chronic exposure on induction of chromosome aberrations and abnormal metaphases as well as on efficiency of subsequent exposure to 2 Gy gamma-rays were investigated. It was found that chronic exposure increased the yield of chromosome aberrations as well as abnormal metaphases (spread-metaphases and apoptotic metaphases). In spite of the level of damages in cells, the chronic beta-exposure protected cells against the additional induction of chromosomal aberrations by subsequent exposure to higher acute dose of gamma-irradiation. Cytogenetic adaptive response was retained in the surviving progeny of irradiated cells which were cultured in free medium during 40, 70 days or one year after chronic exposure. At this time the level of residual chromosome aberrations, colony forming ability and distribution of the cells by the number of chromosomes were almost the same as in unirradiated cells. However, the high level of abnormal metaphases and half as much of cells in colony in the surviving progeny of irradiated cells in comparison with unirradiated cell, allow us to suggest that the chronic exposure induced the selection of adaptive forms in condition of the higher level of radiation. 相似文献

It was shown that pretreatment of human cells with interferons (IF) of different origin has an unequal protective effect under the action of various mutagens with different activity. The protective effect of IF was estimated using the test of sister chromatid exchanges. Natural leucocyte alpha IF is highly effective in healthy human cells and in those of patients having Marfan syndrome. The latter are characterised by disorder in DNA repair under the action of 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide (4-NQO), 8-methoxypsoralen and gamma-rays. Recombinant interferon (alpha 2) displayed no activity against gamma-rays in cells of healthy donors and patients with Marfan syndrome. Nor was it effective in the cells of patients in the experiments with 4-NQO. The absence of correlation between the ability of IF to protect the cells and their influence on the rate of cell proliferations was established. 相似文献

Chromosome aberrations induced by gamma-rays in ganglia cells of Drosophila melanogaster larvae have been studied. Two strains of Drosophila were used: radiosensitive mutant rad (2) 201G1 and normal strain. It has been shown that the frequency of cells with chromosome aberrations in radiosensitive larvae is much more than in normal larvae after gamma-irradiation. The ratio of chromosome and chromatid deletions number to the number of exchange type aberrations is the same for both strains. The kinetics of chromosome aberrations induced in rad-larvae is similar to the normal one. The conclusion has been made that the realization of rad (2) 201G1 mutation takes place on the cell level. 相似文献

A study was made of the yield of chromosome aberrations in gamma-irradiated G0 peripheral blood lymphocytes from 6 patients with different forms of Down's syndrome. The doses used were from 0.25 to 3.0 Gy. Seven healthy donors of different age made the control group. There was a significant increase in the yield of chromosome exchanges in lymphocytes from all the patients as compared to control. The spontaneous level of chromosome aberrations and the frequency of radiation-induced fragments did not differ from the control values. The yield of exchanges in diploid and trisomic cells from patients with the mosaic form of Down's syndrome did not change significantly as the time of cultivation was raised. The origin of DNA repair defects leading to the increased chromosome radiosensitivity in Down's syndrome is discussed. 相似文献

Blood lymphocytes of 15 healthy donors have been investigated for the ability to decrease their radiosensitivity after treatment with low dose irradiation named radioinduced adaptive response (AR). The unstable chromosome aberrations were used to evaluate the radiosensitivity change after irradiation of cells with low adaptive dose (5 cGy) and subsequent high challenge dose (1.0 Gy) in comparison with the effect of challenge irradiation only. Three indexes were used: the frequency of cells with aberrations in all analyzed cells (A), the number of chromosome aberrations per cell (B) and the number of chromosome aberrations per one aberrant cell (C). It has been discovered that all donors examined can be divided into four groups: 1--individuals which cells did not show AR by all indexes used; 2--individuals which cells showed AR by indexes A and B, but not C; 3--AR was demonstrated by indexes B and C; 4--AR was confirmed by all three indexes. Generally accepted repair model for AR formation explains only the case of donor groups 3 and 4, but can not explain the mechanism leading to the case of group 2. For understanding this mechanism, the distribution of metaphases by the number of chromosome aberrations per cell was analyzes for each donor. It was shown that the part of cells without aberrations in group 2 donors increased significantly after treatment with the adaptive and challenge irradiation in comparison with that after irradiation with challenge dose only. The conclusion is that in this case AR is formed as a result of change in the frequency 0 cell class--population shift. The analogous shift was observed in the distributions of metaphases for all donors of the group 4, but was absent in the group 3 donors. The data obtained suggest that AR of blood lymphocytes might be a result of several processes: activation of submutational genome damage repair; population shifts manifested by the change in the part of undamaged cells; and, possibly, activation of apoptotic cell death. The complex nature of AR affects each of radiosensitivity evaluation criteria to a different extent. 相似文献

The adaptive syndrome and response (AR) in lymphocytes from 6 patients with Down syndrome (DS) were investigated. No AR was found to occur in all cases in DS cells pre-exposed to 3 rad of X-rays in S phase of cell cycle and then irradiated with 150 rad of gamma rays in G2 whereas the chromosome aberrations yield in cells from control donors was decreased twice under such conditions of the experiment. 相似文献

The new modification of the method of micronucleus (MN) detection without cytochalasin-B is used in this paper. The code name of the method is called "method of micronucleus detection in mononucleated cells". The basis of this method is that it makes possible to analyze MN and chromosome aberrations (CA) at the same slides. To confirm the true supposition of the authors about correlation between MN quantity and chromosome/chromatid type aberrations so called "coefficient of transformation" was calculated and it was 7.9 +/- 0.41 for the chromosome type aberrations and over 67.2 +/- 30.2 for chromatid type aberrations. Mutagenic action of gamma-irradiation and 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP), activated with long-wave UV-light was estimated for the first cell cycle mitosis. When compared in straight experiments results of gamma-induced MN were received by two methods: the method of cytokinesis-block (commonly used) and by the suggested method, the "coefficient of transformation" of CA into MN was 3.6, when cytochalasin-B was used and 6.7 without using it. The total data give a possibility to make a new cytological micronucleus test for mutagens revealing. As we think the modified test is more simple, more reliable less laborious and less expensive. 相似文献

Dose-response for micronuclei in cytokinesis-blocked lymphocytes after in vitro irradiation of whole blood from 3 donors with Co-60 gamma-rays in the range 0–5.0 Gy was established. The numerical relationship between radiation induced chromosomal aberrations, and micronuclei is also examined. An increased frequency of micronuclei following low doses of gamma-irradiation is reported from a study of 41 radiation workers. 相似文献

Frequency of cytogenetic alterations (micronuclei and chromosome aberrations), DNA repair deficiencies and acetylcholinesterase activity was determined for field workers in Bogotá, Colombia. These workers were regularly exposed to organophosphate and carbamate insecticides while employed on farms for flower growing. Interviews were conducted with 31 workers associated with occupational risk of pesticides exposure and 30 without exposure. A standard cytogenetic assay was used to determine chromosome aberrations and micronuclei frequencies. In addition, a challenge assay assessed response to gamma-rays as an indication of DNA repair deficiencies--cells were exposed to gamma-rays in vitro and the frequencies of chromosome aberrations in post-irradiation metaphase cells were quantified. The data were evaluated for percentage of aberrant cells, cells with chromosome aberrations and frequencies of chromatid breaks per 100 metaphase cells in each worker. The exposed group had a significantly higher frequency of cells with chromosome aberrations and micronuclei as compared with the non-exposed group (p = 0.02). However, the challenge assay did not indicate a significant difference (p > 0.1). These findings require confirmation by further analytical studies involving larger sample. Cytogenetic and toxicological studies, in conjunction with thorough clinical examination are recommended. 相似文献

Cockayne's syndrome (CS) is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disease characterized by mental and physical retardation, microcephaly, dwarfism, retinitis pigmentosa and a hypersensitivity to sunlight. Cells originating from patients also exhibit, in vitro, a hypersensitivity to UV radiation. Using a colony assay in vitro, we studied the sensitivity of 5 CS cell strains (GM739, BOR, CS697, CS698 and KA) and two normal ones (HF19 and GP) to UV- and gamma-irradiation. The 5 CS strains appear to be UV-hypersensitive but the sensitivity varies widely from one strain to another. Hypersensitivity to gamma-rays has been reported for 4 out of the 5 CS cell strains investigated. However, these CS cell strains are less sensitive to gamma-rays than are ataxia telangiectasia cells. The KA cell strain exhibits a normal response to gamma-irradiation. Repair of potentially lethal damage (PLD) after UV- and gamma-irradiation was investigated by using unfed plateau-cell cultures. Under these conditions, control cells show a great capacity to repair PLD (10- to 30-fold survival increase at 1% survival level). The two CS strains (GM739 and BOR), which are hypersensitive to both UV- and gamma-irradiation, exhibit no or only little PLD repair after treatment. In contrast, the normal response of KA cells to gamma-rays is associated with a normal PLD repair capability. This latter cell strain exhibits an intermediate sensitivity to UV and shows an intermediate PLD repair capacity. The response of CS cell strains after gamma-irradiation suggests a genetic heterogeneity. Three complementation groups are described in CS cells when dealing with UV radiosensitivity. However, variations in gamma-ray sensitivity are reported for cells within the same UV complementation group. 相似文献

Blood lymphocytes of 15 healthy donors have been investigated for their ability to reduce radiosensitivity after low-dose irradiation-radio-induced adaptive response (AR). The frequency of unstable chromosome aberrations was used to evaluate cell radiosensitivity after the irradiation of cells in low adaptive (5 cGy) and high challenge (1 Gy) doses in comparison with the effect of challenge irradiation only. Three indexes have been used, i.e., (A) the frequency of cells with aberrations per total analyzed cell, (B) the number of chromosome aberrations per one cell, (C) and the number of chromosome aberrations per one aberrant cell. It was found that the donors can be divided in the four following groups: 1. AR was not estimated any of the indexes used; 2. AR was estimated with indexes A and B, but not C; 3. AR was shown by indexes B and C; 4. AR was evident with all three indexes. The generally accepted AR repair model only explains the appearance of group-3 and-4 donors, but not group-2. For the purpose of understanding the AR mechanisms and the difference in AR estimations with various criteria, the metaphase distribution by the number of chromosome aberrations has been analyzed for each donor. It was shown that, in group-2 donors, the number of cells without aberrations after adaptive and challenge irradiations was significantly higher than after irradiation with a challenge dose only. Thus, in this group, AR is formed as a result of the changed frequency of cells in the 0 class (population shift). A similar shift is observed in the metaphase distribution in the donors of group 4, but not in group 3. The data obtained show that AR is probably a result of several processes, including the activation of the reparation of premutational genome damages, population shifts evident in the frequency of undamaged cells, and, possibly, the activation of apoptotic cell death. The complex character of AR is reflected to different degrees in each criterion of radiosensitivity. 相似文献

The chromosome aberrations induced at zygotene stage in mouse spermatocytes following exposures to fast neutrons and 60Co gamma-rays were examined at diakinesis-metaphase I. The dose-response relationships were well fitted to linear equation for deletion-type aberrations and to linear-quadratic equation for exchange-type aberrations in 60Co gamma-irradiation group. In fast neutron-irradiation group, the dose-response relationships were well fitted to linear equations for deletion- and exchange-type aberrations. The rate of deletion-type aberrations was remarkably high for fast neutrons, about 6 times higher than that after 60Co gamma-irradiation. The main types of chromosome aberrations observed were iso-chromatid breaks or fragments and chromatid exchanges in both irradiation groups as well as X-irradiation. These results indicate that there is a possibility that two double-strand breaks are induced simultaneously at iso-locus position in sister chromatids by a single track of radiations. Production of such single-track-induced two double-strand breaks in iso-chromatids may be very frequently expressed as iso-chromatid-type deletions in the high LET fast neutron-irradiation group. On the contrary, in the low LET 60Co gamma- or X-irradiation group, the above-mentioned mechanism may not be so effective for contribution to chromosome aberration induction in mouse spermatocytes. This mechanism was discussed in detail. 相似文献

Cytosine arabinoside (ara-C), an inhibitor of DNA synthesis and repair, has been used to study the mechanisms of formation of chromosomal aberrations after exposure to low- and high-LET radiation. When G0 human lymphocytes were exposed either to gamma-rays or to d(50 MeV)-Be neutrons and immediately treated with ara-C for increasing periods of time, the frequency of aberrations (dicentrics) increased sharply. For gamma-rays, the enhancement increased with the duration of the treatment up to 5 h, whereas for neutrons, an ara-C treatment lasting for 5 h was no more effective than treatment for 3 h. These results were confirmed by the second experiment in which ara-C was administered for 3 h with an increasing time delay following irradiation. Since no increase in the dicentric frequency was observed when ara-C was administered 5 h after gamma-irradiation, it is suggested that the induced breaks rejoined within that time. For neutrons, the data were conflicting since the repair was completed within 3 h after a dose of 0.5 Gy, and in approximately 5 h after a dose of 2.0 Gy. From both experiments, it appears that gamma-rays and fast neutrons produce similar types of lesions, as ara-C increased the frequencies of aberrations induced by both types of radiation. However, the ara-C treatment resulted in a smaller increase in aberrations following neutron irradiation. According to the enzymatic nature of break formation and the mode of action of ara-C on the polymerase activity, it is suggested that, in addition to double-strand breaks, single-strand breaks could be the lesions involved in the repair processes inhibited by ara-C. Single-strand breaks formed directly or by secondary reactions would, therefore, be one of the major lesions responsible for the aberrations produced by gamma and neutron radiations. 相似文献

20,1% cells with chromosomes aberrations were obtained after UV-irradiation of embryonal fibroblasts of mice at the S-stage in vitro at a decreasing dose of 40erg/mm2. Subsequent gamma-irradiation at the metaphase of the first mitosis at a 5 krad dose led to a statistically significant decrease of the frequency of aberrant cells observed in the same mitosis down to 11,7%. The frequency of spontaneous aberrations did not change during the first few minutes after gamma-irradiation of intact cells at the metaphase. The "protective" effect of gamma-rays can not be explained either by unequal changes of the duration of mitotic stages for aberrant and normal cells, or by sticking of chromosome fragments or by breaks of bridges at the anaphase. The death of cells "under irradiation" also appears to be a hardly probable case of the effect observed. It is assumed that the decrease of the aberrations frequency is the result of predicted earlier modification of the processes of realization of potential chromosome damages into visible aberrations at the metaphase. 相似文献

The repair of DNA double-strand breaks is critical for genome integrity and tumor suppression. Here we show that following treatment with the DNA-intercalating agent actinomycin D (ActD), normal quiescent T cells accumulate double-strand breaks and die, whereas T cells from ataxia telangiectasia (AT) and Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS) patients are resistant to this death pathway despite a comparable amount of DNA damage. We demonstrate that the ActD-induced death pathway in quiescent T lymphocytes follows DNA damage and H2AX phosphorylation, is ATM- and NBS1-dependent and due to p53-mediated cellular apoptosis. In response to genotoxic 2-Gy gamma-irradiation, on the other hand, quiescent T cells from normal donors survive following complete resolution of the damage thus induced. T cells from AT and NBS patients also survive, but retain foci of phosphorylated H2AX due to a subtle double-strand break (DSB) repair defect. A common consequence of these two genetic defects in the DSB response is the apparent tolerance of cells containing DNA breaks. We suggest that this tolerance makes a major contribution to the oncogenic risk of patients with chromosome instability syndromes. 相似文献

We recently reported that the treatment of V-79 and HeLa cells with nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) significantly reduced the level of the radiation-induced unstable chromosome aberrations. The stereoisomer D-NAME had no effect.We suggest that the radioprotective effect of L-NAME resulted from the action on the generation reactive radicals due to the inhibition of the NOS-activity. We tested this suggestion on the NO-resistant (ECV-304) and NO-sensitive (HeLa) cells, which were treated with L-NAME or aminoguanidine or D-NAME or cysteamine before gamma-irradiation. There are no significantly differences in radiosensitivity between these cells estimated after exposure by gamma-rays with different doses. However, the radioprotective effect of the NOS-inhibitors manifested only for HeLa. D-NAME had no radioprotective effect neither HeLa nor ECV-304. In contrast NOS-inhibitors, cysteamine treatment EVC-304 reduced the radiation-induced level chromosome aberrations almost twofold. The different mechanisms of the modification of cellular radiosensitivity are discussed. 相似文献
