The purpose of this study was to determine the antimutagenicity of WR-1065 added after irradiation of cells of cell lines differing in their ability to rejoin radiation-induced DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). The postirradiation antimutagenicity of WR-1065 at the thymidine kinase locus was demonstrated for L5178Y (LY)-S1 cells that are deficient in repair of DNA DSBs. Less postirradiation antimutagenicity of WR-1065 was observed in LY-R16 and LY-SR1 cells, which are relatively efficient in DSB repair. Postirradiation treatment with WR-1065 had only a small stimulatory effect on DSB rejoining. A 3-h incubation of irradiated LY cells with WR-1065 caused slight changes in the distribution of cells in the phases of the cell cycle that differed between LY-S1 and LY-SR1 cells. Both LY-S1 and LY-SR1 cells were protected against the cytotoxic and mutagenic effects of radiation when WR-1065 was present 30 min before and during the irradiation. We conclude that the differential postirradiation effects of WR-1065 in the LY-S1 and LY-SR1 cells are not caused by differences in cellular uptake of the radioprotector or in its radical scavenging activity. Possible mechanisms for the postirradiation antimutagenicity of WR-1065 are discussed. 相似文献

Effects of growth media on cell cycle progression in CHO cells exposed to the radioprotector WR-1065
Abstract. WR-1065 (2-[(aminopropyl)amino]ethanethiol) reduces cytotoxic and mutagenic effects caused by exposure of cells to radiation and chemotherapeutic drugs, but the mechanisms involved are not fully known. We have observed an accumulation of cells in G, in WR-1065 treated Chinese hamster ovary cells grown in a-minimal essential medium, while others have found no cell cycle effects in WR-1065 treated Chinese hamster ovary cells grown in McCoy's 5A medium. To determine if the two types of media had an effect on cells treated with WR-1065, we examined survival and cell cycle progression. Population doubling times of 12 h were observed for cells grown in both media. Incubation of AA8 cells grown in McCoy's 5A medium with 4 mM WR-1065 30 min prior to and during irradiation with 13' Cs gamma-rays resulted in a protection factor of 2.2, in close agreement with the value of 2.0 we previously obtained for AA8 cells grown in α-minimal essential medium. Treatment with WR-1065 caused an alteration in the cell cycles of cells grown in both media. An increase in the G2 population and a decrease in the G1 population was observed in cells incubated up to 3 h in the presence of 4 mM WR-1065, with a redistribution of the cells throughout the cell cycle occurring following removal of the drug. These data suggest that exposure of cells to WR-1065 is the cause of perturbations in cell cycle progression, and is not affected by the type of medium the cells are grown in. 相似文献

The radioprotector WR-1065 (2-[(aminopropyl)amino]ethanethiol) is known to protect mammalian cells from the cytotoxic and mutagenic effects of radio- and chemotherapeutic agents, but the exact mechanisms involved in this protection are not fully known. To help determine the effects of WR-1065 alone on cells, we examined its effect on a variety of cellular processes. Incubation of AA8 cells in 4 mM WR-1065 did not significantly affect the rate of DNA synthesis. Autoradiographic analysis of heavily labeled (S-phase population) nuclei of AA8 cells showed no significant difference in the S-phase population of WR-1065-treated versus control cells for up to 3 h. An examination of the effect of WR-1065 on repair synthesis, as measured by unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) in cells exposed to 15 Gy, showed no difference between treated and sham-treated cells for up to 2 h exposure. A significant reduction in the amount of UDS was seen in cells treated with the protector for 2.5 and 3 h. Incubation of cells in WR-1065 did alter the cell cycle distributions. An increase in the G2-phase population with a corresponding decrease in the G1-phase population was observed in cells incubated up to 3 h in the presence of 4 mM WR-1065. After the removal of WR-1065 at 3 h, a redistribution of the cells throughout the cell cycle occurred as has been observed in cells treated with other synchronization agents. These data suggest that perturbations in cell cycle progression, rather than direct effects on the rate of DNA synthesis, could play a role in the increased survival and reduced mutation frequencies observed in the presence of WR-1065. 相似文献

WR-1065, the active metabolite of amifostine,mitigates radiation-induced delayed genomic instability
《Free radical biology & medicine》2009,46(12):1674-1681
Compounds that can protect cells from the effects of radiation are important for clinical use, in the event of an accidental or terrorist-generated radiation event, and for astronauts traveling in space. One of the major concerns regarding the use of radio-protective agents is that they may protect cells initially, but predispose surviving cells to increased genomic instability later. In this study we used WR-1065, the active metabolite of amifostine, to determine how protection from direct effects of high- and low-LET radiation exposure influences genomic stability. When added 30 min before irradiation and in high concentrations, WR-1065 protected cells from immediate radiation-induced effects as well as from delayed genomic instability. Lower, nontoxic concentrations of WR-1065 did not protect cells from death; however, it was effective in significantly decreasing delayed genomic instability in the progeny of irradiated cells. The observed increase in manganese superoxide dismutase protein levels and activity may provide an explanation for this effect. These results confirm that WR-1065 is protective against both low- and high-LET radiation-induced genomic instability in surviving cells. 相似文献

The effects of (56)Fe particles and (137)Cs gamma radiation were compared in TK6 and WTK1 human lymphoblasts, two related cell lines which differ in TP53 status and in the ability to rejoin DNA double-strand breaks. Both cell lines were more sensitive to the cytotoxic and clastogenic effects of (56)Fe particles than to those of gamma rays. However, the mutagenicity of (56)Fe particles and gamma rays at the TK locus was the same per unit dose and was higher for gamma rays than for (56)Fe particles at isotoxic doses. The respective RBEs for TK6 and WTK1 cells were 1.5 and 1.9 for cytotoxicity and 2.5 and 1.9 for clastogenicity, but only 1 for mutagenicity. The results indicate that complex lesions induced by (56)Fe particles are repaired less efficiently than gamma-ray-induced lesions, leading to fewer colony-forming cells, a slightly higher proportion of aberrant cells at the first division, and a lower frequency of viable mutants at isotoxic doses. WTK1 cells (mutant TP53) were more resistant to the cytotoxic effects of both gamma rays and (56)Fe particles, but showed greater cytogenetic and mutagenic damage than TK6 cells (TP53(+)). A deficiency in the number of damaged TK6 cells (a) reaching the first mitosis after exposure and (b) forming viable mutants can explain these results. 相似文献

RKO36 cells, a subclone of RKO colorectal carcinoma cells that have been stably transfected with the pCMV-EGFP2Xho vector, were grown to confluence and then exposed to either the radioprotector WR-1065, i.e. the active thiol form of amifostine, for 30 min at doses of 40 microM and 4 mM or the cytokine tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha, TNFA) for 30 min at a concentration of 10 ng/ml and then washed. Total protein was isolated as a function of time up to 32 h after these treatments. Both doses of WR-1065 as well as the concentration of TNFalpha used were effective in elevating intracellular levels of the antioxidant protein SOD2 (also known as MnSOD) at least 15-fold over background levels as determined by Western blot analysis, while measured SOD2 activity was elevated between 5.5- and 6.9-fold. SOD2 reached a maximal level 24 h and 20 h after WR-1065 and TNFalpha treatments, respectively. The antioxidant proteins catalase and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) were also monitored over the 32-h period. In contrast to the robust changes observed in intracellular levels of SOD2 as a function of time after exposure of cells to WR-1065, catalase levels were elevated only 2.6-fold over background as determined by Western blot analysis, while GPX activity was unaffected by WR-1065 exposure. GPX protein levels were extremely low in cells, and analysis of GPX activity using a spectrophotometric method based on the consumption of reduced NADPH also revealed no measurable change as a function of WR-1065 or TNFalpha exposure. RKO36 cells either were irradiated with X rays in the presence of either 40 microM or 4 mM WR-1065 or 10 ng/ml TNFalpha or were irradiated 24 or 20 h later, respectively, when SOD2 protein levels were most elevated. The concentrations and exposure conditions used for WR-1065 and TNFalpha were not cytotoxic and had no effect on plating efficiencies or cell survival compared to untreated controls. No protection or sensitization was observed for cells irradiated in the presence of 40 microM WR-1065 or TNFalpha. Survival was elevated 1.90-fold for cells irradiated in the presence of 4 mM WR-1065. When RKO36 cells were irradiated with 2 Gy 24 h after 40 microM or 4 mM WR-1065 and 20 h after TNFalpha treatments when SOD2 levels were the most increased, survival was elevated 1.42-, 1.48- and 1.36-fold, respectively. This increased survival represents a SOD2-mediated delayed radioprotective effect. SOD2 appears to be an important antioxidant gene whose inducible expression is an important element in adaptive cellular responses in general, and the delayed radioprotective effect in particular. It can be induced by a range of agents including cytoprotective nonprotein thiols such as WR-1065 and pleiotropic cytokines such as TNFalpha. 相似文献

The influence of dose rate on the lethal and mutagenic effects of X-rays in proliferating L5178Y cells differing in radiation sensitivity 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The lethal and mutagenic effects of ionizing radiation delivered at high (53 Gy/h) and low (0.02 Gy/h) dose rates were measured in two closely related strains of mouse lymphoma L5178Y cells differing in radiation sensitivity (LY-R and LY-S). Strain LY-R was more resistant to the lethal effects of radiation than strain LY-S when exposed at either the high or low dose rate. The survival of strain LY-R was markedly enhanced by the reduction in dose rate. The dose-rate dependence of the survival of strain LY-S was less clear, because of the biphasic nature of its survival curve following low dose-rate radiation. However, if the initial slope of the low dose-rate survival curve is compared to the slope of the high dose-rate survival curve for strain LY-S, only a slight increase in survival at the low dose rate is apparent. Although more sensitive to the lethal effects of radiation, strain LY-S was less mutable at the hypoxanthine/guanine phosphoribosyl transferase locus by both low dose-rate and high dose-rate radiation than strain LY-R. Little dose-rate dependence was exhibited by either strain with regard to the mutagenic effects of radiation. Thus, for strain LY-R, which showed marked dose-rate dependence for survival but not for mutation, the ratio of mutational to lethal lesions was much greater following exposure to low dose-rate than to high dose-rate radiation. 相似文献

The radioprotector WR-1065 (N-(2-mercaptoethyl)-1,3-diaminopropane) has been shown to be the active moiety involved in protecting mammalian cells from the cytotoxic and mutagenic effects of ionizing radiation after administration of WR-1065 or the phosphorylated form, WR-2721. Initial experiments demonstrated that, in our hands, WR-1065 protects Chinese hamster AA8 cells from killing by (a) mechanism(s) other than induction of hypoxia. AA8 cells were then incubated in the presence of [14C]WR-1065 to determine whether association of WR-1065 in vivo was random or targeted to the nucleus or the nuclear matrix. The kinetics of incorporation of labeled material showed rapid incorporation for the first 30 min and little, if any, additional incorporation over the next 2.5 h. Examination of nuclei and nucleoids generated from the AA8 cells indicated that approximately 10% of the drug was localized in the nucleus and the drug that remained was not dislodged with repeated washes of the filters. Association kinetics of the drug with nuclei and nucleoids indicated that there was little increase in drug association with time, suggesting that there may be a limited number of strong association sites in the nucleus, but these sites are either with DNA or with matrix proteins. Exposure of the AA8 cells to 6 Gy of 60Co gamma rays did not significantly alter the association of the drug with AA8 cells. Incubating AA8 cells in [14C]WR-1065 for 30 min and then incubating in drug-free medium indicated that nearly all of the drug was lost from cells within the first 5 min of incubation in drug-free medium. The low level of tightly bound matrix-associated label may be important in generating alterations in matrix organization that have been observed previously in this laboratory. 相似文献

N-(2-mercaptoethyl)-1,3-propanediamine (WR-1065) protects thymocytes from programmed cell death. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Gamma-irradiation, glucocorticoid hormones, and calcium ionophores stimulate a suicide process in thymocytes, known as apoptosis or programmed cell death, that involves internucleosomal DNA fragmentation by a Ca(2+)- and Mg(2+)-dependent nuclear endonuclease. In this study we report that N-(2-mercaptoethyl)-1,3-propanediamine (WR-1065) blocked DNA fragmentation and cell death in thymocytes exposed to gamma-radiation, dexamethasone, or calcium ionophore A23187. WR-1065 protected the thymocytes from radiation-induced apoptosis when incubated with cells after irradiation but not before and/or during irradiation. WR-1065 inhibited Ca(2+)- and Mg(2+)-dependent DNA fragmentation in isolated thymocyte nuclei. Our results suggest that WR-1065 protects thymocytes from apoptosis by inhibiting Ca(2+)- and Mg(2+)-dependent nuclear endonuclease action. 相似文献

The effects of the radioprotector 2-[(aminopropyl)amino] ethanethiol (WR-1065) on radiation-induced cell killing and mutagenesis at the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (HGPRT) locus in V79 Chinese hamster cells under hypoxic or aerobic conditions were examined. Conditions of acute hypoxia were attained by gassing 10(6) cells in 1-ml volumes in individual glass ampoules for 2 min with nitrogen. Ampoules were then sealed and incubated at 37 degrees C for 60 min. Following this treatment, cell survival after irradiation as expected was significantly enhanced. The effect of acute hypoxia on the formation of HGPRT mutants by irradiation was also investigated. Mutation frequencies were determined with a 6-day expression time and corrected for the number of spontaneous background mutants. Although mutation induction was approximately linear as a function of radiation dose under most conditions tested, it was significantly reduced in cell populations made acutely hypoxic prior to irradiation. Protection against mutation induction was apparent and similar when cells were irradiated in the presence of the radioprotector, regardless of whether they were also hypoxic or aerated. If cells were irradiated in air and then made hypoxic, no significant protection was still observed. These results suggest that the antimutagenic effect of WR-1065 is not due solely to its ability to scavenge radiation-induced oxygen-free radicals, but rather that it may also modulate these effects through the scavenging of metabolically induced free radicals and/or the chemical repair of radiation-induced DNA lesions. 相似文献

Characteristics of genomic instability in clones of TK6 human lymphoblasts surviving exposure to 56Fe ions 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Evans HH Horng MF Ricanati M Diaz-Insua M Jordan R Schwartz JL 《Radiation research》2002,158(6):687-698
Genomic instability in the human lymphoblast cell line TK6 was studied in clones surviving 36 generations after exposure to accelerated 56Fe ions. Clones were assayed for 20 characteristics, including chromosome aberrations, plating efficiency, apoptosis, cell cycle distribution, response to a second irradiation, and mutant frequency at two loci. The primary effect of the 56Fe-ion exposure on the surviving clones was a significant increase in the frequency of unstable chromosome aberrations compared to the very low spontaneous frequency, along with an increase in the phenotypic complexity of the unstable clones. The radiation-induced increase in the frequency of unstable chromosome aberrations was much greater than that observed previously in clones of the related cell line, WTK1, which in comparison to the TK6 cell line expresses an increased radiation resistance, a mutant TP53 protein, and an increased frequency of spontaneous unstable chromosome aberrations. The characteristics of the unstable clones of the two cell lines also differed. Most of the TK6 clones surviving exposure to 56Fe ions showed unstable cytogenetic abnormalities, while the phenotype of the WTK1 clones was more diverse. The results underscore the importance of genotype in the characteristics of instability after radiation exposure. 相似文献

2-[(Aminopropyl)amino] ethanethiol-mediated reductions in 60Co gamma-ray and fission-spectrum neutron-induced chromosome damage in V79 cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The radioprotector 2-[aminopropyl)amino] ethanethiol (WR1065), which has been reported to reduce the cytotoxic and mutagenic effects of low LET radiation, was investigated for its ability to protect against low LET (60Co gamma ray) and high LET (fission-spectrum neutron)-induced chromosome damage in V79 cells. Cells were irradiated in G2 phase in the presence or absence of 4 mM WR1065 and were harvested and analyzed 2 h later for chromatid-type aberrations. Irradiation of G2-phase V79 cells in the presence of WR1065 resulted in a 30 to 50% reduction in the frequency of gamma-ray and neutron-induced chromatid-type breaks and exchanges. The effects were found only after exposures of greater than 200 cGy gamma-ray or 50 cGy neutron irradiation. The radioprotector was effective at reducing neutron-induced aberrations after exposures at dose rates of both 10 and 43 cGy/min. Thus the radioprotector WR1065 is an effective anti-clastogenic agent in V79 cells, protecting against both 60Co gamma-ray and fission-spectrum neutron-induced aberrations, when present during irradiation. 相似文献

Abstract. The effects of two chemical radiation protectors, WR-1065 and WR-151326, were characterized in V79 Chinese hamster cells after either cobalt-60 (60 Co) gamma or fission spectrum neutron irradiation. Each protector was administered at a concentration of 4 mM to exponentially growing cultures for 30 min prior to and during irradiation with either 60 Co gamma or JANUS fission spectrum neutrons. After irradiation the cells were either plated immediately for survival or returned to the incubator and assayed for cell progression. Aliquots of cells were removed at selected times, counted, fixed and stained with 4'6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI). Analysis of DNA histograms indicate that the presence of the protector during irradiation reduced the division delay experienced at the G2 -M interface. Implications of these effects are discussed. 相似文献

We compared the effects of the radioprotective aminothiols WR-1065 and WR-255591 on the induction of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) and on the survival of aerated Chinese hamster ovary cells exposed to 60Co gamma radiation. DSBs were measured using the pH 9.6 neutral elution method. In agreement with earlier studies, protection factors for both drugs measured using the end point of clonogenic cell survival were significantly greater than the protection factors for DSB induction when DSBs were measured after gamma-ray doses ranging from 20 to 90 Gy. However, when DSBs and cell survival measurements were made on the same cell populations after low radiation doses (between 3 and 30 Gy) using the replicate plating method, there appeared to be a close correlation between the modification of DSB induction and the modification of cell survival produced by both drugs. The major influence accounting for the differences between these and previously obtained results appears to be the range of radiation doses used, suggesting that protection against DSB induction is radiation-dose dependent. 相似文献

We examined the ability of WR-1065, the biologically active aminothiol form of the clinically used drug amifostine (WR-2721, Ethyol), to protect cultures of two human glioblastoma cell lines of greatly differing radiosensitivity from the cytotoxic effects of gamma radiation. M059J cells are extremely radiosensitive compared to M059K cells (which were derived from the same tumor) and are defective in the DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNAPK)-mediated pathway for the repair of DSBs. In spite of their marked phenotypic differences, the two glioblastoma lines were protected equivalently ( approximately 1.8-fold) after a 30-min preirradiation treatment with 4 mM WR-1065. These findings are in agreement with earlier studies that showed no relationship between the ability of another aminothiol, cysteamine, to protect human tumor cells with differing abilities to repair DSBs and/or radiosensitivity. Thus it appears that differences in intrinsic radiosensitivity and ability to repair DSBs are not important general factors in the modulation of the radiosensitivity of human cells by aminothiols. Because of a previous report that the radiosensitive mutant rodent xrs5 cell line (which, like M059J, is defective in the DNAPK-mediated pathway for repairing DSBs) is unusually refractory to the radioprotective effects of WR-1065, we re-examined the ability of WR-1065 to protect these cells. In contrast to the earlier studies, both the wild-type and mutant rodent lines were protected extensively by WR-1065. This discrepancy might be related to some unknown factor, such as differences in chromatin organization among xrs5 subclones that arise during their karyotypic evolution, possibly leading to altered DNA-drug associations. 相似文献

A comparison of radioprotection from three neutron sources and 60Co by WR-2721 and WR-151327 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Two thiophosphoroate radiation protectors (WR-2721 and WR-151327) were assessed for their ability to modify the effects of neutron or gamma irradiation on the gastrointestinal tract. Three neutron sources (DOSAR, JANUS, and FERMILAB) were compared to the response obtained after 60Co irradiation. The end points studied were intestinal stem cell survival and LD50(6). DOSAR and JANUS, both fission-spectrum neutrons, showed somewhat different gut sensitivities [LD50(6)] of about 240 and 400 cGy respectively. The intestinal LD50 obtained with FERMILAB neutrons (25 meV) was closer (875 cGy) to that obtained after 60Co (1068 cGy) irradiation. WR-151327 protected against the lethal effects of fission neutron (DOSAR and JANUS) to a greater degree (DMF = 2.2) than with lower LET sources such as FERMILAB neutrons (DMF = 1.7) or 60Co (DMF = 1.7). The results did not correlate with the intestinal stem cell assays where WR-2721 when compared to WR-151327 showed either similar (DOSAR; fission spectrum neutrons) or somewhat better (60Co and FERMILAB neutrons) protection. Possible explanations for the differing results are discussed. 相似文献

The cytotoxicity and mutagenicity of 2-amino-N6-hydroxyadenine (AHA) were measured in strains of L5178Y differing in repair capabilities and karyotype. Strain LY-R83 is monosomic for chromosome 11 and is therefore hemizygous for the tk gene, while strains LY-R16 and LY-S1 are TK+/- heterozygotes. Both strain LY-R83 and LY-R16 are sensitive to UV light and are presumed to be deficient in the excision of pyrimidine dimers as shown for the parental strain, LY-R (Hagen et al., 1988; Szumiel et al., 1988). Strain LY-S1 is sensitive to the cytotoxic effects of ionizing radiation and is presumed to be defective in the repair of radiation-induced DNA double-strand breaks, as shown for the parental strain, LY-S (Evans et al., 1987a; Wlodek and Hittelman, 1987). The sensitivities of the three strains to the cytotoxic effects of AHA were similar. After a 4-hour treatment with AHA at 37 degrees C, the D37 for all three strains was approximately 35 ng/ml. The AHA-induced mutant frequency was similar for the hemizygous TK+ strain LY-R83 and the heterozygous TK +/- strain LY-R16, but was slightly higher for strain LY-S1 than for either LY-R strain at an AHA concentration of 100 ng/ml. The proportion of AHA-induced LY-S1 TK -/- mutants forming colonies with diameters less than 0.3 mm was much lower than following treatment with X radiation (24% vs. 61% for AHA and X radiation, respectively). These results indicate that the vast majority of AHA-induced TK -/- mutants harbor single gene mutations. AHA did not result in cyanide-insensitive oxygen uptake, and treatment with this compound did not induce a significant number of DNA single-strand breaks, DNA alkali labile lesions, or DNA degradation in either strain. However, two hours after AHA removal, DNA single-strand breaks and/or alkali-labile lesions, possibly due to the occurrence of DNA repair, were apparent in the DNA of both strain LY-R16 and strain LY-S1. 相似文献
