Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder. Afflicted patients show extreme sun-sensitivity and skin cancer predisposition. XP is in most cases associated with deficient nucleotide excision repair (NER), which is the process responsible for removing photolesions from DNA. Measuring NER activity by nucleotide incorporation into repair patches, termed ‘unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS)’, is one of the most commonly used assays for XP-diagnosis and NER research. We have established a rapid and accurate procedure for measuring UDS by replacement of thymidine with 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU). EdU incorporated into repair patches can be directly conjugated to fluorescent azide derivatives, thereby obviating the need for either radiolabeled thymidine or denaturation and antibody detection of incorporated bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU). We demonstrate that the EdU incorporation assay is compatible with conventional techniques such as immunofluorescent staining and labeling of cells with micro-latex beads. Importantly, we can complete the entire UDS assay within half a day from preparation of the assay coverslips; this technique may prove useful as a method for XP diagnosis. 相似文献

Trypanosomatids are the etiologic agents of various infectious diseases in humans. They diverged early during eukaryotic evolution and have attracted attention as peculiar models for evolutionary and comparative studies. Here, we show a meticulous study comparing the incorporation and detection of the thymidine analogs BrdU and EdU in Leishmania amazonensis, Trypanosoma brucei, and Trypanosoma cruzi to monitor their DNA replication. We used BrdU‐ and EdU‐incorporated parasites with the respective standard detection approaches: indirect immunofluorescence to detect BrdU after standard denaturation (2 M HCl) and “click” chemistry to detect EdU. We found a discrepancy between these two thymidine analogs due to the poor detection of BrdU, which is reflected on the estimative of the duration of the cell cycle phases G1, S, and G2. To solve this discrepancy, we increase the exposure of incorporated BrdU using different concentrations of HCl. Using a new value for HCl concentration, we re‐estimated the phases G1, S, G2 + M, and cytokinesis durations, confirming the values found by this approach using EdU. In conclusion, we suggest that the studies using BrdU with standard detection approach, not only in trypanosomatids but also in others cell types, should be reviewed to ensure an accurate estimation of DNA replication monitoring. 相似文献

Accumulated evidence indicates that proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) is an auxiliary protein of DNA polymerase delta and forms tight association with DNA replication sites during DNA replication or DNA repair synthesis. In this study, such PCNA complex formation was investigated by the indirect immunofluorescence method, using both normal human fibroblasts and those derived from a xeroderma pigmentosum group A (XP-A) patient. XP-A fibroblasts in both proliferating and quiescent states did not show any differences from normal fibroblasts in the properties of PCNA-staining in the untreated conditions. The PCNA complex formation was induced in quiescent normal fibroblasts by both ultraviolet light (UV)- and X-irradiation, whereas in XP-A fibroblasts it was induced by X-irradiation, but not by UV-irradiation. However, PCNA complex was induced in quiescent XP-A fibroblasts by UV-irradiation when the cells had previously incorporated 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU). These observations indicate a close correlation of PCNA complex formation and unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS). Thus, it was concluded that PCNA complex formation was commonly induced in at least three conditions to produce UDS in spite of different types of DNA damages and DNA repair mechanisms. 相似文献

Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is characterised by defects in nucleotide excision repair, ultraviolet (UV) radiation sensitivity and increased skin carcinoma. Compared to other complementation groups, XP-F patients show relatively mild cutaneous symptoms. DNA interstrand cross-linking agents are a highly cytotoxic class of DNA damage induced by common cancer chemotherapeutics such as cisplatin and nitrogen mustards. Although the XPF-ERCC1 structure-specific endonuclease is required for the repair of ICLs cellular sensitivity of primary human XP-F cells has not been established. In clonogenic survival assays, primary fibroblasts from XP-F patients were moderately sensitive to both UVC and HN2 compared to normal cells (2- to 3-fold and 3- to 5-fold, respectively). XP-A fibroblasts were considerably more sensitive to UVC (10- to 12-fold) but not sensitive to HN2. The sensitivity of XP-F fibroblasts to HN2 correlated with the defective incision or 'unhooking' step of ICL repair. Using the comet assay, XP-F cells exhibited only 20% residual unhooking activity over 24 h. Over the same time, normal and XP-A cells unhooked greater than 95% and 62% of ICLs, respectively. After HN2 treatment, ICL-associated DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are detected by pulse field gel electrophoresis in dividing cells. Induction and repair of DNA DSBs was normal in XP-F fibroblasts. These findings demonstrate that in primary human fibroblasts, XPF is required for the unhooking of ICLs and not for the induction or repair of ICL-associated DNA DSBs induced by HN2. In terms of cancer chemotherapy, people with mild DNA repair defects affecting ICL repair may be more prevalent in the general population than expected. Since cellular sensitivity of primary human fibroblasts usually reflects clinical sensitivity such patients with cancer would be at risk of increased toxicity. 相似文献

We have examined the relative sensitivity of Aedes albopictus C7-10 mosquito cells to irradiation with ultraviolet light from a germicidal lamp. On the basis of plating efficiency, C7-10 cells were approximately two times more resistant to UV light than human 293 leukemia cells. Recovery after UV irradiation was accompanied by an increase in unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS), which was measured by incorporation of 3H-thymidine into acid-precipitable DNA in the presence of hydroxyurea. Under standardized conditions, UDS was maximal after a 10 min exposure (120 J/m2), and declined after longer exposures. In addition, UV treatment is associated with a small but reproducible increase in repair of plasmid DNA in transiently transfected cells. We anticipate that analysis of DNA repair activities in mosquito cells will identify molecular targets that might control longevity in transgenic mosquitoes. 相似文献

Human lymphocytes in the quiescent state were exposed to UVC radiation. After irradiation the cells were allowed to repair for various times in the presence of [3H]thymidine or [3H]deoxycytidine in the culture medium. Hydroxyurea was not used to suppress semiconservative DNA replication in the small number of growing cells. After incubation DNA strand breaks were detected by the DNA-unwinding method and the amount of 3H incorporation in DNA was measured by liquid scintillation counting. The results show that the yield of DNA strand breaks and the amount of unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) can be measured from the same lymphocyte sample. A low background 3H incorporation in untreated cells could be achieved even in the absence of hydroxyurea. This requires, however, that 3H incorporation is measured only in the double-stranded DNA and that [3H]dCyd is used instead of [3H]dThd as the labelled deoxynucleoside. 相似文献

5-Bromo-2′-deoxyuridine (BrdU) and 2′-deoxy-5-ethynyluridine (EdU) are widely used as markers of replicated DNA. While BrdU is detected using antibodies, the click reaction typically with fluorescent azido-dyes is used for EdU localisation. We have performed an analysis of ten samples of antibodies against BrdU with respect to their reactivity with EdU. Except for one sample all the others evinced reactivity with EdU. A high level of EdU persists in nuclear DNA even after the reaction of EdU with fluorescent azido-dyes if the common concentration of dye is used. Although a ten-time increase of azido-dye concentration resulted in a decrease of the signal provided by anti-BrdU antibodies, it also resulted in a substantial increase of the non-specific signal. We have shown that this unwanted reactivity is effectively suppressed by non-fluorescent azido molecules. In this respect, we have tested two protocols of the simultaneous localisation of incorporated BrdU and EdU. They differ in the mechanism of the revelation of incorporated BrdU for the reaction with antibodies. The first one was based on the use of hydrochloric acid, the second one on the incubation of samples with copper(I) ions. The use of hydrochloric acid resulted in a significant increase of the non-specific signal. In the case of the second method, no such effect was observed. 相似文献

We have directly compared in resting human mononuclear leukocytes the DNA repair effects caused by ADP-ribosyl transferase (ADPRT) activity following DNA damage induction by gamma radiation, UV radiation, ethylene oxide (EO) and N-acetoxy-2-acetylaminofluorene (NA-AAF). The presence of inhibitors of ADPRT during the quantitation of unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) resulted in about a 2-fold increase of UDS when induced by gamma radiation, UV radiation or EO. The stimulation of UDS by EO, UV- or gamma-radiation in the presence of an ADPRT inhibitor was equally strong whether 1 mM or 10 mM hydroxyurea was used to suppress scheduled DNA synthesis. The level of NA-AAF induced UDS was not affected by inhibitors of ADPRT. In addition, direct estimation of ADPRT activity revealed that at doses giving maximal UDS, NA-AAF damage did not induce a measurable enzymatic activity whereas gamma-radiation, UV radiation and EO all showed a significant dose response increase. We have interpreted our data to mean that NA-AAF induced UDS estimates DNA repair relating mainly to DNA lesions that are recognized with difficulty, and hence, the rate of endonuclease-induced DNA strand break accumulation is not sufficient to allow a stimulation of ADPRT and affect the quantitation of UDS. 相似文献

Cells from patients with xeroderma pigmentosum, complementation group A (XPA), are known to be defective in repair of pyrimidine dimers and other forms of damage produced by 254-nm ultraviolet (UVC) radiation. We have isolated a DNA endonuclease, pI 7.6, from the chromatin of normal human lymphoblastoid cells which recognizes damage produced by UVC light, and have introduced this endonuclease into UVC-irradiated XPA cells in culture to determine whether it can restore their markedly deficient DNA repair-related unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS). Introduction of the normal endonuclease, which recognizes predominantly pyrimidine dimers, but not the corresponding XPA endonuclease into UVC-irradiated XPA cells restored their levels of UDS to approximately 80% of normal values. Electroporation of both the normal and the XPA endonuclease into normal human cells increases UDS in normal cells to higher than normal values. These results indicate that the normal endonuclease can restore UDS in UVC-irradiated XPA cells. They also indicate that XPA cells have an endonuclease capable of increasing the efficiency of repair of UVC damage in normal cells. 相似文献

We examined the relationship between the formation of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) complex with DNA and nucleotide excision repair in human fibroblasts following ultraviolet light (uv) irradiation. PCNA complex formation was detected by the immunofluorescence method after methanol fixation and nucleotide excision repair activity was detected as the unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) by autoradiography labeled with [3H]thymidine. Quiescent normal cells showed a strong punctuated pattern of PCNA staining 5 min to 3 h and UDS 3 h after 10 J/m2 of uv irradiation, but they no longer showed PCNA staining and UDS 24 h after irradiation. In contrast, xeroderma pigmentosum group A (XP-A) cells, which lack UDS activity, did not show PCNA staining up to 30 min after irradiation; however, unexpectedly, they were stained 3 h and even 24 h after irradiation with their staining pattern being different from that in normal cells. Namely, the fluorescence spots in XP-A cells were larger in size and much smaller in number than those in normal cells. When XP-A cells were fused with normal cells with polyethylene glycol treatment, nuclei of XP-A cells showed a PCNA staining pattern similar to that of normal cells at 30 min, which was no longer detected 24 h after irradiation. These results suggest that there exist two types of PCNA complex formation, nucleotide excision repair-related and -unrelated, in human fibroblasts following uv irradiation. 相似文献

A new flow cytometric method to follow DNA gap filling during nucleotide excision repair of UVc-induced damage 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
BACKGROUND: Several methods have been developed for studying the kinetics of DNA repair after exposure of cells to ultraviolet (UV) light, such as conventional assays measuring unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS). In this study, we have developed an accurate and rapid method to follow DNA gap filling during nucleotide excision repair (NER) in normal human fibroblasts (NHFs) in response to UV-induced damage. METHODS: After UVc irradiation, aphidicolin was added to the culture to hold repair patches open. This allowed an efficient incorporation of biotin-21-dUTP during an endogenous DNA repair synthesis that was detected by flow cytometry. RESULTS: We showed that the DNA gap filling after UVc irradiation in NHFs increased with time up to 10 h after irradiation and that no repair synthesis activity could be detected in XP-A fibroblasts. Furthermore, this activity was UVc dose dependent up to 20 J/m2. These results correlated well with those of the UDS assay. Interestingly, addition of aphidicolin at different time points after UVc irradiation, thus allowing endogenous repair synthesis in the absence of biotin-21-dUTP, demonstrated that the response of the NER system occurred extremely rapidly after irradiation. CONCLUSIONS: This method may be a reliable and simple alternative to other techniques measuring UDS. Practical advantages include the rapidity of the method, no need for radioactivity, and the possibility to use a second and/even a third flow marker to analyse cell cycle and heterogeneous cell populations concomitantly. 相似文献

A study of the potential genotoxicity of methapyrilene and related antihistamines using the hepatocyte/DNA repair assay 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Methapyrilene and four related antihistamines were evaluated for their ability to cause DNA repair measured autoradiographically as unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) in primary cultures of Fischer-344 rat hepatocytes. Methapyrilene failed to induce UDS at all doses tested while pyrilamine and tripelennamine induced a concentration-dependent increase in DNA repair. Doxylamine and thenyldiamine, previously untested in this system, induced a weak response at the highest non-toxic doses tested. Methapyrilene was clearly cytotoxic at doses of 100 microM and higher, as judged by morphology, and precursor incorporation into RNA and protein. Precursor incorporation into RNA was irreversibly inhibited 90% and 55% at 1000 microM and 100 microM methapyrilene, respectively, while precursor incorporation into protein was inhibited 80% and 60%. These data verify the genotoxicity of pyrilamine and tripelennamine and the failure of methapyrilene to elicit DNA repair, and suggest that doxylamine and thenyldiamine may be weak DNA-damaging agents. 相似文献

To obtain more information on the well-documented low excision-repair capacity of rodent cells in comparison with human cells, we have studied this form of DNA repair in UV-irradiated human and rat skin fibroblasts. For this purpose, we have determined (i) unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS), using autoradiography, (ii) the number and size of repaired sites with the bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) photolysis assay and (iii) the removal of Micrococcus luteus UV-endonuclease susceptible sites (ESS). We found rat cells to be quite capable of performing DNA-repair synthesis, as demonstrated by both UDS and BrdU photolysis, whereas they almost completely lacked the capacity to remove pyrimidine dimers, as indicated by the persistence of ESS. This discrepancy will be discussed in terms of the types of mechanisms by which mammalian cells may recognize and remove UV-induced photoproducts. 相似文献

The labeling of newly synthesized DNA in cells to identify cell proliferation is an important experimental technique. The most accurate methods incorporate [3H]thymidine or 5-bromo-2′-deoxyruidine (BrdU) into dividing cells during S phase, which is subsequently detected by autoradiography or immunohistochemistry, directly measuring the newly synthesized DNA. Recently, a novel method was developed to detect DNA synthesis in proliferating cells based on a novel thymidine analog, 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine (EdU). EdU is incorporated into DNA and subsequently detected with a fluorescent azide via “click” chemistry. This novel technique is highly sensitive and does not require DNA denaturation. However, it was also found that EdU exhibits time-dependent inhibition effects on cell growth. Therefore, here we report a novel deoxycytidine analog, 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxycytidine (EdC), that can be used to detect DNA synthesis in vitro and in vivo at a similar sensitivity level compared with EdU. Furthermore, the EdC-induced cytotoxicity is much less than that of EdU when combined with thymidine. This will be a potential application for the long-term detection of proliferating cells. 相似文献

Repair of damage by ultraviolet radiation in xeroderma pigmentosum cell strains of complementation groups E and F 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The xeroderma pigmentosum fibroblast strains XP2RO, complementation group E, and XP23OS, group F, were compared with normal human primary fibroblasts with regard to repair of damage induced by 254-nm UV. In XP2RO cells, repair DNA synthesis, measured by autoradiography (unscheduled DNA synthesis = UDS), was about 50% of the value found in normal human cells. In these cells also the removal of UV-induced sites recognized by a specific UV-endonuclease proceeds at a reduced rate. By having BUdR incorporated into the repaired regions, followed by the induction of breaks in these patches by 313-nm UV, it was shown that the reduced repair synthesis is not caused by a shorter length of the repair regions in XP2RO, but is solely due to a reduction in the number of sites removed by excision repair. In XP23OS a discrepancy was observed between the level of UDS, which was about 10% of the normal value, and other repair-dependent properties such as UV survival, host-cell reactivation and removal of UV-endonuclease-susceptible sites, which were less reduced than could be expected from the UDS level. However, when UDS was followed over a longer period than the 2 or 3 h normally used in UDS analysis, it appeared that in XP23OS cells, the rate of UDS remained constant whereas the rate decreased in normal control cells. Consequently, the residual level of UDS varies with the period over which it is studied. 相似文献

Repair-proficient murine fibroblasts transfected with the denV gene of bacteriophage T4 repaired 70-80% of pyrimidine dimers within 24 h after exposure to 150 J/m2 ultraviolet radiation (UVR) from an FS-40 sunlamp. Under the same conditions, control cells repaired only about 20% of UVR-induced pyrimidine dimers. After UVR exposure, both control and denV-transfected cells exhibited some degree of DNA-synthesis inhibition, as determined by flow cytometric analysis of cell-cycle kinetics in propidium iodide-stained cells. DenV-transfected cells had a longer and more profound S phase arrest than control cells, but both control and denV-transfected cells had largely recovered from UVR effects on cell-cycle kinetics by 48 h after UVR exposure. Inhibition of DNA synthesis by UVR was also measured by determining post-UVR incorporation of bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU). The amount of BrdU incorporated was quantitated by determining with flow cytometry the quenching of Hoechst dye 33342 by BrdU incorporated in cellular DNA. DenV-transfected cells showed more marked inhibition of BrdU incorporation after low fluences of UVR than control cells. Differences between denV-transfected and control cells in cell-cycle kinetics following UVR exposure may be related to differences in mechanisms of repair when excision repair of pyrimidine dimers is initiated by endonuclease V instead of cellular repair enzymes. 相似文献
