In several acute and chronic exposures to various chemicals in vivo and in vitro, the average sister-chromatid exchange (SCE) frequencies in human, mouse, rat, and rabbit lymphocytes generally decrease with time following treatment. The rate of this decline varies, but little data have been published pertaining to the comparative kinetics of SCEs both in vivo and in vivo/in vitro (exposure of animals to the test compound and culturing of cells) simultaneously in the same tissues. In this study, a single dose of cyclophosphamide (40 mg/kg) was injected for varying periods (6-48 h) and its effects, as assessed by the induction of SCEs, were analyzed under both in vivo and in vivo/in vitro conditions in mouse bone marrow and spleen cells. In vivo, the cyclophosphamide-induced SCEs increased with increasing time up to 12 h, stayed at approximately the same level until 24 h, and then decreased with increase in post-exposure time. However, the SCE levels remained significantly higher than controls at 48 h post-exposure time in both bone marrow and spleen cells. Under in vivo/in vitro conditions, the SCEs in bone marrow decreased with increase in post-exposure time until reaching control values by 48 h post exposure. However, in spleen cells, the decrease in SCE level was gradual, and by 48 h post-exposure time, the cells still had approximately 6 times higher SCEs than the control values. These results suggest that there are pharmacokinetic differences for cyclophosphamide in mouse bone marrow and spleen. Also, there is a differential SCE response to cyclophosphamide under in vivo and in vivo/in vitro conditions. 相似文献

The baseline sister-chromatid exchange (SCE) frequencies of human plasma lymphocyte cultures (PLC), but not pig PLC, were nearly twice as high as those of whole-blood cultures (WBC). Addition of human red blood cells (RBCs) to human PLC decreased the SCE frequency in proportion to the RBC-leukocyte co-incubation interval. When the period of RBC-leukocyte co-incubation was equivalent to the total length of the culture period (72 h), the SCE frequency was similar to that observed in WBC. Shorter co-incubation periods yielded SCE frequencies intermediate between those of PLC and WBC. Regardless of the species, cell proliferation was slower in PLC than in WBC. Experiments where RBCs were added to PLC showed that the time sequence of RBC incorporation also affects the cell-cycle progression of human and pig lymphocytes. When either human or pig RBCs were added immediately after PLC stimulation, the cell-cycle kinetics was similar to that of WBC. Shorter co-incubation periods made cell-cycle progression intermediate between PLC and WBC values. Thus, PBCs modulate the baseline frequency of SCEs in human PLC and the cell-cycle progression of both human and pig lymphocytes in a time-dependent manner. Two possible hypotheses for the heightened frequency of SCEs of human lymphocytes in RBC-free cultures were assessed. The loss of RBC-to-lymphocyte cellular contact in PLC did not influence the SCE frequencies of lymphocytes. Finally, the increase of SCEs in human PLC could not be related to differences in the generation time of lymphocytes in culture. 相似文献

In experiments to assess the effects of several biological, chemical, and physical variables on sister-chromatid exchange (SCE) induction in cultured lymphocytes exposed to mitomycin C (MMC) before PHA stimulation we observed: (1) high SCE frequencies in female cells, and normal SCE frequencies in Y-bearing metaphases in mixed cultures containing equal numbers of MMC-treated female lymphocytes and untreated male lymphocytes; (2) small, but statistically significant, decreases in SCEs with increasing pH after G0 exposure in the pH range 6.6–7.6; (3) pronounced reductions in MMC-induced SCEs in lymphocytes exposed at 4°C vs. 37°C. In other studies, SCE induction was evaluated in cultures exposed during G0 to MMC concentrations ranging from 0.25 to 2.5 μg/ml for varying time intervals ranging from 5 min to 24 h. For all concentrations tested SCE induction varied as a linear function of G0 exposure time. To compare SCE induction between cultures, we calculated the mean frequencies of SCEs induced per metaphase/unit dose MMC/unit G0 exposure time (SCE/μg/h). A mean frequency of 20.7 ± 4.8 SCE/μg/h was observed for 41 lymphocyte cultures suggesting that a single term adequately describes the rate of SCE induction following G0 exposure to a 10-fold range in concentration of MMC for time intervals of 30 min to 24 h. 相似文献

Studies for SCE induction are frequently performed on human blood cultures. Either whole blood cultures (WBC) or purified lymphocyte cultures (PLC) are employed. However, it has been shown that fundamental differences with respect to metabolic activity exist between these two systems. In order to further characterize the whole blood culture and the purified lymphocyte culture, differently acting substances were studied comparatively with and without an Aroclor-1254-induced S9 mix. Treatment with ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS), a direct mutagen, produced distinct SCE induction in both systems. Cyclophosphamide (CP) and benzo[a]pyrene (BP), two indirect mutagens, also led to a significant increase of SCEs both in WBC and PLC without S9 mix. Only with CP was this effect more pronounced after addition of S9 mix. Sodium selenite (Na2SeO3), which induced SCEs in WBC, did not show this effect in the PLC. After S9 mix was added to purified lymphocytes, an increase of SCEs by sodium selenite was observed as in WBC. H2O2, a radical former, led to SCE induction in purified lymphocytes but not in the whole blood culture. By adding S9 mix, a distinct reduction of the SCEs induced by H2O2 was established. These results show that human lymphocytes can metabolize indirect mutagens and that it should be kept in mind when using S9 mix that, besides mixed-function oxygenases, it also contains enzymes which influence the SCE-inducing effects of substances. 相似文献

The effect of glutathione depletion on sister-chromatid exchange induction by cytostatic drugs 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Using sister-chromatid exchanges (SCEs) as an indicator for DNA damage, we investigated the role of glutathione (GSH) as a determinant of cellular sensitivity to the DNA-damaging effects of the cytostatic drugs adriamycin (AM) and cyclophosphamide (CP). Exposure of V79 cells to buthionine sulfoximine (BSO) resulted in a complete depletion of cellular GSH content without toxicity and without increasing the SCE frequency. Subsequent 3-h treatment of GSH-depleted cells with AM or S9-mix-activated CP caused a potentiation of SCE induction. In Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, which showed a higher GSH level compared to V79 cells, BSO treatment led to a depletion of GSH to about 5% of the control and increased SCE induction by AM and CP. Compared to V79 cells, the effect of AM on SCE frequencies was less distinct in CHO cells, while CP exerted a similar effect in both cell lines. Pretreatment of V79 cells with GSH increased the cellular GSH content, but had no effect on the induction of SCEs by AM, and pretreatment with cysteine influenced neither GSH levels nor SCE induction by AM. The study shows that SCEs are a suitable indicator for testing the modulation of of drug genotoxicity by GSH. The importance of different GSH contents of cell lines for their response to mutagens is discussed. 相似文献

The effects of fermenting, poorly arginine-utilizing Mycoplasma fermentans and arginine-utilizing Mycoplasma salivarium on the frequency of sister chromatid exchange (SCE) in cultured human lymphocytes were examined. M. fermentans caused no apparent mitosis inhibition of lymphocytes and the increase in SCE frequency was dependent on the inoculum size of the mycoplasma. An evident increase in SCE frequency was observed in lymphocytes infected with smaller inoculum sizes of M. salivarium whereas there was mitosis inhibition of lymphocytes infected with larger inoculum sizes of the mycoplasma. In lymphocyte cultures infected with M. salivarium, the addition of arginine to the culture medium reduced mitosis inhibition but did not diminish the increase in SCE frequency, indicating that arginine depletion was not involved in causing the induction of SCEs in mycoplasma-infected lymphocytes. With regard to the genetic effectiveness of SCE, these results suggested that mycoplasmas are capable of inducing cytogenetic changes in infected host cells. 相似文献

Sister chromatid exchange (SCE) frequency at different times of fixation was studied in human lymphocyte cultures obtained from 6 donors. No differences were found in the SCE frequency between human lymphocyte cultures fixed at 72 and 96 hours of incubation (10.61 +/- 0.85 and 10.15 +/- 0.81 SCE per cell, respectively). However, a decreased SCE frequency (8.11 +/- 0.36 SCE per cell) was observed in cultures fixed at 120 hours of incubation. For a more detailed studies, one lymphocyte culture was fixed at different times of incubation (from 56 to 128 hours, at each a 8 hours). A slight increase in SCE frequencies was found at the interval between 56 and 88 hours of incubation, while starting from 104 hours of incubation a marked decrease in the SCE frequency was observed. Time-dependent changes in the SCE frequency may be described by the equation y = -1.8614 + 0.3922x - (2.5183 x 10(-3))x2, where y is the number of SCEs per cell, and x--the duration of culture incubation in hours. The observed phenomenon may be associated with changes in proportion of T and B lymphocytes, or with heterochromatization of chromosomes during a prolonged cultivation, or with an early in vitro stimulation of the in vivo long-lived lymphocytes that may be more damaged than the in vivo short-lived and the in vitro late-stimulating ones. 相似文献

Rats were treated intraperitoneally with different concentrations of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) or N-nitrosophenacetin (NP). Blood was sequentially drawn by venous puncture at 6, 24, 72, 120 h and 14 days after a single injection of AFB1 or NP. After AFB1 the frequency of SCEs and chromosome aberrations increased progressively and reached a maximum level after 24 h and then decreased with time. By 2 weeks post treatment, the SCE and chromosome aberration values were within the control range. A small but significant SCE induction was observed when rats were treated with NP, but no chromosome breakage was induced even at the highest dose (20 mg/kg). We suggest that the elimination of DNA damage by repair mechanisms and lymphocyte turnover is responsible for the reduction of SCEs and chromosome aberrations with time. This assay seems promising for sequential monitoring of cytogenetic damage in rat lymphocytes following in vivo exposure to genotoxicants. 相似文献

Lymphocyte cultures from 4 individuals with persistently significantly elevated frequencies of sister-chromatid exchange (SCE) were examined with no treatment, and with 2 concentrations of mitomycin C. In each of the 4 cases, the mean level of SCEs in the untreated lymphocytes exhibited a paradoxical reduction in SCE frequency when exposed to the lower (0.005 microgram/ml) of the two doses of mitomycin C. At the second higher dose of mitomycin C (0.025 microgram/ml) the mean level of SCE/cell exceeded the untreated mean. When the distributions of SCE/cell were examined it appeared that the untreated cultures had two or more populations of cells; one was in the normal SCE frequency range, while the second population was in an elevated SCE frequency range. The paradoxical reduction in SCE frequency was apparently due to elimination of, or mitotic inhibition of cells in the highest range of SCE frequency, while a small elevation in SCEs was initiated in the cells with a normal SCE frequency. Thus, mean levels of SCE/cell can be misleading. This data suggests that new exposure to the same or a different genotoxic agent might possibly result in a misleading lowering of the mean SCE frequency. 相似文献

The effect of alleles of the Ah locus on the induction of sister-chromatid exchanges (SCE) was studied in C57Bl/6 and in DBA/2 mice treated twice intragastrically with benzo[a]pyrene (BP, 100 or 10 mg/kg b.w.). To measure the changes in the frequency of SCE, 2 protocols were used: in vivo in bone marrow cells after implantation of 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) tablets and in vivo/in vitro in spleen lymphocytes cultured with BrdU. On day 5 mice were killed and SCEs estimated in bone marrow cells. BP-DNA adducts in bone marrow and spleen were analyzed on day 5 after the same exposure to BP. In the spleen lymphocytes SCE frequencies were analyzed after an additional 48 h of culture. We found that at both doses of BP, the number of SCEs and BP-DNA adducts in bone marrow and in spleen cells was significantly higher in aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH)-non-inducible (DBA/2) mice than in AHH-inducible (C57BL/6) mice. Only marginal induction of SCE was noted after the high dose of BP in C57BL/6 mice in bone marrow in vivo, whereas a highly significant increase in the frequency of SCEs was found in splenocytes in the in vivo/in vitro test. The spleen cells contained larger amounts of BP-DNA adducts and demonstrated higher absolute levels of SCEs than bone marrow cells. The sensitivity of both the in vivo/in vitro and the in vivo SCE test is high enough for assessment of Ah locus-linked differences in BP genotoxicity in mice at the prolonged time between treatment and cell preparation. The present data confirm the influence of inducibility of AHH in the intestine on the genotoxicity of BP to distal tissues after oral exposure to BP. 相似文献

Sister-chromatid exchange (SCE) frequencies were studied in peripheral blood lymphocytes from 19 patients (13 males and 6 females) with Schistosoma hematobium, prior to the initiation of chemotherapy. The mean frequency of SCE per metaphase for the patients (both sexes) was 10.4 +/- 4.2 which was significantly higher (P less than 0.01) than the mean SCE (6.4 +/- 1.1) score for 35 healthy controls. A highly significant reduction in lymphocyte division and delay in cell-cycle progression as a result of infection were also noticed. These data indicate that infection with S. hematobium could increase SCEs in the host somatic cells. 相似文献

Cyclophosphamide (CP) and two of its known metabolites, 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide (4-OHCP) and phosphoramide mustard (PAM), were analyzed for their ability to induce sister-chromatid exchanges (SCEs) in mouse peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) in vitro and in vivo. At equimolar concentrations, CP is a more potent SCE inducer in vivo than PAM and PAM and 4-OHCP induce equal numbers of SCEs in a dose-dependent manner. The present study also shows that these metabolites of CP are more potent SCE inducers than CP itself in vitro. This relationship might be explained by the differences in pharmacokinetics of these compounds. 相似文献

The frequency of sister-chromatid exchanges (SCEs) was studied in peripheral blood lymphocytes of 26 young male smokers and 10 non-smokers who had recently entered military service. The levels of SCEs were examined in 4 consecutive blood samples taken after short experimental periods of smoking only low-tar (LT) or medium-tar (MT) cigarettes. The incidence of SCEs was significantly higher in the the group of smokers than in the group of non-smokers. The SCE levels of the smokers were found to be associated with the personal smoking history; the observed increase in the SCE frequency correlated with the years of smoking measured as cumulative pack years. The difference in type of cigarette did not influence the SCE frequencies. 相似文献

Fibroblast cells from two Japanese patients with Bloom's syndrome (BS) and normal donors were studied for the inactivation of colony-forming ability and the induction of sister-chromatid exchanges (SCEs) after N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) treatment. The reduction of ENU-induced SCEs as a function of post-treatment incubation time was also compared between BS and normal fibroblasts. BS cells were approximately 4 times more sensitive than normal cells to the lethal effect of ENU and remarkably hypersensitive to the SCE induction by ENU. The post-treatment incubation of ENU-treated normal cells in the fresh medium resulted in a time-dependent decrease of the SCE level until 6 h after which time the SCE level remained the plateau of about 50% of the initial level. In contrast, the ENU-induced SCEs in BS cells decreased much more slowly with post-treatment incubation time and its half life was 24 h. These results collectively support the view that BS cells may be defective in the rapid repair of certain type(s) of DNA damages induced by ENU. 相似文献

Two aphidicolin-resistant cell mutants (AC 12 and AC 41) with a fourfold increase in spontaneous frequency of sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) were obtained out of over 400 aphidicolin-resistant mutants isolated from mouse lymphoma L5178Y cells. They also exhibited three- to fourfold increases in spontaneous frequency of chromosome aberrations (CAs). To determine whether the high level of SCE frequency in AC 12 is caused by 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdUrd) used for visualizing SCEs, the effect of BrdUrd incorporated into DNA on SCE induction was analyzed. The SCE frequencies in AC 12 remained constant at BrdUrd incorporation levels corresponding to 2-90% substitution for thymidine in DNA. In addition, the small amount of BrdUrd incorporated into both daughter and parenteral DNA strands in AC 12 had minimal effect on SCE induction. Furthermore, AC 12 and AC 41 were slightly resistant to BrdUrd with respect to the induction of CAs, the inhibition of cell-cycle progression and the decrease in mitotic activity. These findings suggest that the high incidence of SCEs in AC 12 and AC 41 is formed by their intrinsic defects, not by the effects of BrdUrd used. The analysis of SCE frequencies in hybrid cells between these mutants and the parental L5178Y revealed that the genetic defects in AC 12 and AC 41 appear to be recessive, and that these two mutants belong to the same complementation group. Furthermore, AC 12 belonged to a different complementation group from ES 4, which was isolated previously from L5178Y as an SCE mutant with a twofold higher frequency of spontaneous SCEs. This finding indicates that at least two different genetic defects participate in the formation of the high incidence of spontaneous SCEs in mouse cells. These SCE mutants would provide valuable cell materials for studying the molecular mechanism of SCE formation. 相似文献

A comparison of SCE test in human lymphocytes and Vicia faba: a hopeful technique using plants to detect mutagens and carcinogens 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A comparison of the Vicia faba SCE with the human lymphocyte SCE test was made with regard to their capacity to detect mutagens. Twelve chemical agents that can induce sister-chromatid exchanges (SCEs) in both Vicia faba root tip cells and human lymphocytes were used. The results indicate that the plant SCE technique is a sensitive test for screening various chemical agents including food preservatives, pesticides and essences which may have mutagenic activity. A new simplified procedure was introduced for differential staining of sister chromatids in Vicia faba. 相似文献

Differential enhancement of sister-chromatid exchange frequencies by alpha-naphthoflavone in cultured lymphocytes from smokers and non-smokers 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The sister-chromatid exchange (SCE) frequency was assessed in peripheral lymphocytes from 4 smokers and 8 non-smokers in the absence or presence of alpha-naphthoflavone (ANF) in the culture media. ANF produced a concentration-dependent increase in the frequency of SCEs in smoking individuals. At an ANF concentration of 11 micrograms/ml, average SCE levels were 54% and 13% above the baseline levels in smokers and non-smokers, respectively. The ANF-enhanced increase in the SCE frequency ranged from 3.12 to 5.72 among smokers, and from 0 to 1.96 among the non-smokers. No significant difference in the mean SCE baseline levels between smokers and non-smokers was detected. The mechanism responsible for the enhanced frequency of SCEs in smokers following in vitro exposure to ANF is not clear, but may reflect changes in metabolic activation/deactivation or increased sensitivity to genetic effects of ANF. 相似文献

In a study of 14 patients who were not treated with either chemotherapy or irradiation, 13 patients had lower siste-chromatid exchange (SCE) frequencies in their bone-marrow cells than in their lymphocytes. For both bone marrow and lymphocytes, there was significant inter-patient variability in SCE frequencies, but there was no correlation between the bone-marrow and lymphocyte values.
The effect of exposing bone-marrow cells to busulphan (BUS) in vitro was investigated using doses up to 5.0 μg/ml. The dose-response relationships between BUS and SCEs in vitro were found to be similar for bone marrow and lymphocytes. 相似文献

Schizophrenic patients who were receiving, or who had received chlorpromazine showed SCE levels similar to those in a normal control population. Of 8 normal individuals whose lymphocytes were exposed in vitro to chlorpromazine (0.05–2.00 μg/ml) for two cell cycles, 4 showed a significant increase in SCE, 3 showed no increase and 1 a decrease compared with untreated lymphocytes. Lymphocytes from a further 8 donors treated with 2.0 μg/ml chlorpromazine prior to mitogen stimulation (G0 lymphocytes) showed a similar SCE response. Only 3 of the 8 donors showed a significant increase in SCEs over the baseline level. When proliferating lymphocytes were exposed to chlorpromazine 38 h after culture initiation and prior to the addition of BrdUrd to the culture medium, metaphase chromosomes from only 3 of the 8 individuals studied showed increased levels of exchange. These results indicate that chlorpromazine can induce SCEs in vitro but that there is considerable variation in SCE response among individuals. Furthermore, our data emphasises the importance of using more than 1 or 2 donors when analysing SCE response in human chromosomes. 相似文献
