Dose-fractionation studies on translocation induction in stem-cell spermatogonia of mice, as measured by spermatocyte analysis many cell generations after irradiation, revealed that a small conditioning dose of X-rays sensitizes the stem cells to the induction of translocations by a second dose 24 h later (Van Buul and Léonard, 1974, 1980). To find out whether such sensitization effects also occur at other spermatogonial stages, a comparison was made of the effects of single (50, 100 and 150 rad) and fractionated (100 + 50 rad, with 24 h in between) doses of X-rays on the induction of chromosomal aberrations in spermatogonia by analysing spermatogonial metaphases shortly after irradiation at multiple sampling times (0–48 h; every 4 h). In addition, the kinetics of spermatogonial proliferation was studied by using, in vivo, a BrdU chromosome-labelling procedure. The recorded frequencies of chromosomal aberrations did not indicate any sensitization effect of dose fractionation. It is concluded that the sensitization effects, as observed for chromosomal aberrations in male premeiotic germ cells, are characteristic for the stem-cell spermatogonia and do not occur in the more differentiated spermatogonia. 相似文献

Cultures of JU56 cells were irradiated with 2.5 Gy X-rays and 16 h later the cultures were exposed to a moderately inhibitory dose of 1-beta-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine (ara-C) or aphidicolin (APC) and to colcemid, for 2 h. The c-metaphases collected for examination had therefore been exposed to X-rays in G1 or early S, and to the repair inhibitors APC and ara-C during the latter half of G2. It was found that treatment of cells irradiated early in cell cycle, that is, in G1 and early S, with APC or ara-C in G2, (1) reduced the frequency of chromatid and chromosome exchanges below that of cells treated with X-rays alone, (2) produced no more chromatid breaks and gaps than were seen in unirradiated cells, (3) increased the number of chromosome fragments and gaps in a more than additive fashion, and (4) produced only an additive effect, by comparison with the effect of X-rays and drug given separately, on the total number of chromosomal aberrations. 相似文献

In previous research, we found an increase in DNA strand breaks in brain cells of rats acutely exposed to a 60 Hz magnetic field (for 2 h at an intensity of 0.5 mT). DNA strand breaks were measured with a microgel electrophoresis assay using the length of DNA migration as an index. In the present experiment, we found that most of the magnetic field-induced increase in DNA migration was observed only after proteinase-K treatment, suggesting that the field caused DNA-protein crosslinks. In addition, when brain cells from control rats were exposed to X-rays, an increase in DNA migration was observed, the extent of which was independent of proteinase-K treatment. However, the X-ray-induced increase in DNA migration was retarded in cells from animals exposed to magnetic fields even after proteinase-K treatment, suggesting that DNA-DNA crosslinks were also induced by the magnetic field. The effects of magnetic fields were also compared with those of a known DNA crosslink-inducing agent mitomycin C. The pattern of effects is similar between the two agents. These data suggest that both DNA-protein and DNA-DNA crosslinks are formed in brain cells of rats after acute exposure to a 60 Hz magnetic field. 相似文献

Background
Heavy-ion therapy has an advantage over conventional radiotherapy due to its superb biological effectiveness and dose conformity in cancer therapy. It could be a potential alternate approach for hydatid cyst treatment. However, there is no information currently available on the cellular and molecular basis for heavy-ion irradiation induced cell death in cystic echinococcosis.Methododology/Principal Findings
LD50 was scored by protoscolex death. Cellular and ultrastructural changes within the parasite were studied by light and electron microscopy, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damage and copy number were measured by QPCR, and apoptosis was determined by caspase 3 expression and caspase 3 activity. Ionizing radiation induced sparse cytoplasm, disorganized and clumped organelles, large vacuoles and devoid of villi. The initial mtDNA damage caused by ionizing radiation increased in a dose-dependent manner. The kinetic of DNA repair was slower after carbon-ion radiation than that after X-rays radiation. High dose carbon-ion radiation caused irreversible mtDNA degradation. Cysts apoptosis was pronounced after radiation. Carbon-ion radiation was more effective to suppress hydatid cysts than X-rays.Conclusions
These studies provide a framework to the evaluation of attenuation effect of heavy-ion radiation on cystic echinococcosis in vitro. Carbon-ion radiation is more effective to suppress E. multilocularis than X-rays. 相似文献5.
Summary Man takes up nitrite in a considerable amount. Effects of nitrite on DNA have been reported; therefore, interaction between nitrite and radiation might be possible.Preimplantation mouse embryos in vitro were treated with a combination of sodium nitrite (1 mM or 2.5 mM) and X-rays (0.94 Gy) in order to obtain some information whether radiation risk is influenced by the presence of nitrite. The microscopic visible development up to 144 h post conceptionem (h p.c.), the number of cell nuclei, and the number of micronuclei were determined.None of the experimental results gives any indication that radiation risk is influenced by nitrite. All effects after combined treatment correspond to the sum of the single effects. 相似文献

In human lymphocytes low doses of X-rays can decrease the number of chromatid deletions induced by subsequent high doses of sparsely ionizing X-rays. Because of the concern with the carcinogenic effects of low doses of -particles from radon in homes, experiments were carried out to see if low doses of X-rays could also decrease the yield of chromosomal aberrations induced by subsequent exposure to radon. Human peripheral blood lymphocytes were irradiated with low doses of X-rays (2 cGy) at 48 h of culture, exposed to radon at 72 h of culture, and analyzed for the presence of chromatid aberrations at subsequent intervals. The frequency of chromatid aberrations induced by radon alone increased with time after exposure, indicating exaggerated differences in the stage sensitivity of cell cycle stages to high-LET radiation. Furthermore, the numbers of aberrations per cell did not follow a Poisson distribution but were over dispersed, as might be expected since high-LET radiations have a high relative biological effectiveness compared with low-LET radiations. Nevertheless, lymphocytes exposed to 2 cGy of X-rays before radon exposure contained approximately one-half the number of chromatid deletions compared with lymphocytes treated with radon alone and analzed at the same time. Thus, the putative chromosomal repair mechanism induced by low doses of sparsely ionizing radiation is also effective in reducing chromosomal aberrations induced by radon, which hitherto had been thought to be relatively independent of repair processes. 相似文献

Specific-locus mutation frequencies in mouse stem-cell spermatogonia were determined in 3 experiments in which mature male mice were exposed to 100,m 300, or 500 R of X-rays followed, 24 h later, by intraperitoneal injection of 100 mg/kg of ethylnitrosourea (ENU). The purpose was to find out if the mutation frequencies would be augmented over those expected on the basis of additivity of the effects of the separate treatments. Such augmentation had been observed in earlier work in which exposure to 100 or 500 R of X-rays was followed 24 h later by a second exposure of 500 R. No augmentation was observed for X-rays followed by ENU. The mutation frequencies in all 3 experiments actually fell below those expected on the basis of additivity, although the reductions were not statistically significant. 相似文献

The exposure of log-phase Chinese hamster V79 cells to 2-chlorodeoxyadenosine (CdA) for 3 h after X irradiation enhanced the lethal effects of X-rays in a concentration-dependent manner. The enhancement of the killing efficiency of X-rays by CdA was mainly observed in the reduction of quasi-threshold doses (Dq) of the dose-response curves. When the ability of CdA to inhibit the repair of X-ray-induced double- and single-strand breaks (dsb and ssb) of DNA was investigated by neutral- and alkaline-filter elution techniques, respectively, it was observed that 90% of dsb were rejoined in the absence of CdA within 30 min after X irradiation and 15-40% of dsb rejoining was suppressed by co-incubation of the cells with 5-10 microM of CdA for 3 h after X irradiation, whereas almost 100% of ssb were rejoined within 15 min regardless of the presence or absence of CdA. From these results it was concluded that CdA interfered exclusively with the repair of DNA dsb in X-irradiated Chinese hamster V79 cells and thereby increased the lethality of X-rays. 相似文献

Pretreatment of lignocellulosic materials may result in the release of inhibitors and deactivators of cellulose enzyme hydrolysis. We report the identification of phenols with major inhibition and/or deactivation effect on enzymes used for conversion of cellulose to ethanol. The inhibition effects were measured by combining the inhibitors (phenols) with enzyme and substrate immediately at the beginning of the assay. The deactivation effects were determined by pre-incubating phenols with cellulases or β-glucosidases for specified periods of time, prior to the respective enzyme assays. Tannic, gallic, hydroxy-cinnamic, and 4-hydroxybenzoic acids, together with vanillin caused 20-80% deactivation of cellulases and/or β-glucosidases after 24h of pre-incubation while enzymes pre-incubated in buffer alone retained all of their activity. The strength of the inhibition or deactivation effect depended on the type of enzyme, the microorganism from which the enzyme was derived, and the type of phenolic compounds present. β-Glucosidase from Aspergillus niger was the most resistant to inhibition and deactivation, requiring about 5 and 10-fold higher concentrations, respectively, for the same levels of inhibition or deactivation as observed for enzymes from Trichoderma reesei. Of the phenol molecules tested, tannic acid was the single, most damaging aromatic compound that caused both deactivation and reversible loss (inhibition) of all of enzyme activities tested. 相似文献

Summary The biological activity of phenolic extracts originating from winter twigs of birch (Betula pendula Roth.) was measured using the ruminant in vitro method and the nylon bag technique. Different extracts were prepared by extraction with organic solvents, removing phenols of corresponding solubility. The extract of birch twigs (diameter <1.5 mm) contained about 19% phenol equivalents, corresponding to 6% of twig dry matter (DM). Coarse birch twigs (diameter 1.5–5 mm) contained about 3% in the DM Phenolic extracts from the fine birch twigs were added to coarse birch twigs and common timothy (Phleum pratense L.) to mimic natural concentrations of fine birch twigs. Controls and the plant material with phenolic extract added were incubated for different times with rumen inocula taken from a sheep fed browse and a goat fed hay. Nylon bags containing phenolic treated hay were incubated in the rumen of the goat for 6 and 48 h. Phenolic extracts had a considerable negative effect on the organic matter (OM), protein and cell wall (neutral detergent fiber, NDF) digestibility in vitro. The nylon bag OM disappearance was also depressed by the extract. The effects were measurable after 6 h of digestion both in vitro and in sacco.The high inhibitory effect by the extracts on digestibility persisted even after removal of lipophilic fractions. This suggests that some or several water-soluble phenolic substances are responsible for the depression of digestibility. The depression of OM digestibility is linearly related to the concentration of phenols added. However, the inhibition of nylon bag digestibility plateaus at high phenol concentrations, suggesting that some fraction of the substances undergo complex formation with macromolecules of the plant.The results strongly indicate that water-soluble phenols of birch make up an important part of its chemical defense in winter by possessing antinutritional properties. Thus their potential importance in the nutrition of wild herbivores must not be ignored. 相似文献

Although a number of chemicals can alter DNA repair function, little is known about the effect of chronic, low dose exposure to environmental agents on DNA repair capacity. Lymphocytes provide a potential target population to study the effects of chronic exposures to low doses of toxic chemicals since they are an easily obtainable cell population. Prior to investigating the repair capacity of chemically exposed lymphocytes, the repair by chemically naive lymphocytes has been characterized. In the present study, the DNA repair capacity of isolated rat lymphocytes was characterized. The capacity of these cells to repair single-strand DNA breaks (SSB) was determined after in vitro treatments with X-rays. The effect of in vitro exposure to 3-aminobenzamide (3-AB) on DNA repair capacity was also assessed. The levels of induced SSB and their repair were determined using the alkaline elution technique. Splenic lymphocytes were isolated and placed in culture medium 18 h prior to assessment of repair capacity, but were not stimulated with mitogens. A dose-dependent increase in SSB was observed following exposure of lymphocytes to 300 or 600 rad. The rate of SSB repair was analyzed after a dose of 400 rad. Approximately 80% of the DNA strand break repair was completed within 60 min. The half-time for repair of these lesions by lymphocytes was determined to be 21.3 min. Exposure to 3-AB resulted in a decrease in the rate of repair of the X-ray-induced strand breakage. Although no SSB were detected at the end of a 1-h 3-AB treatment of non-irradiated cells, significant accumulation of SSB was observed after a 2-h treatment. The characterization of DNA repair in rat lymphocytes following in vitro exposure to X-rays will allow us to investigate the effects of chronic, in vivo toxicant exposure on the capacity of isolated lymphocytes to repair DNA damage produced by X-rays. 相似文献

Following whole-body irradiation of ICR mice with various doses of fission neutrons or X-rays, the frequency of micronuclei (MNs) in peripheral blood reticulocytes was measured at 12 h intervals beginning immediately after irradiation and ending at 72 h after irradiation. The resulting time-course curve of MN frequency had a clear peak 36 h after irradiation, irrespective of the type of radiation applied and the dose used. The MN frequency, averaged as the unweighted mean over the experimental time course, showed a linear increase with increasing dose of either fission neutrons or X-rays. The linear response to X-rays supports reported conclusion that induction of MN formation in reticulocytes is a dose-rate independent phenomenon. The relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of fission neutrons to X-rays for MN induction was estimated to be 1.9 +/- 0.3. This value is considerably lower than the RBE value of 4.6 +/- 0.5 reported for the same fission neutrons for induction of lymphocyte apoptosis in the thymus of ICR mice that represents dose-rate independent, one-track event. Based on these results, we propose that MNs increased in reticulocytes after irradiation mostly represent acentric fragments caused by single chromosome breaks, and that some confounding factor is operating in erythroblasts for the formation of aberrations from non-rejoining DNA double-strand breaks more severely after high-LET radiation than after low-LET radiation. 相似文献

Semiquinone and ascorbyl radicals in the gut fluids of caterpillars measured with EPR spectrometry 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The biological activity of phenolic compounds ingested by caterpillars is commonly believed to result from their oxidation, although the products of oxidation have been well-characterized in only a few cases. The initial oxidation products of phenols (semiquinone or phenoxyl radicals) can be measured with electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrometry. In this study semiquinone radicals formed from tannic acid and gallic acid in the gut fluids of two species of caterpillars were measured. In Orgyia leucostigma, in which ingested phenols are not oxidized, semiquinone radicals were absent or at very low intensities. By contrast, in Malacosoma disstria, in which ingested phenols are oxidized, high semiquinone radical intensities were measured. In the absence of detectable levels of semiquinone radicals, ascorbyl radicals were detected in the EPR spectra instead. High molar ratios of ascorbate to phenols in an artificial diet produced ascorbyl radicals in the midgut fluids of both species, while diets containing low molar ratios produced semiquinone radicals. Similar results were obtained in M. disstria fed the leaves of red oak or sugar maple. The results of this study provide further evidence that ascorbate is an essential antioxidant that prevents the oxidation of phenols in the gut fluids of caterpillars, and demonstrate that EPR spectrometry is a valuable method for determining the degree of oxidative activation of phenols ingested by herbivorous insects. 相似文献

A modified mouse splenocyte culture system was standardized after testing different mitogens (i.e., phytohemagglutinin (PHA), concanavalin A (Con A)). The mitotic index was determined for comparison between different mitogens. Following selection of appropriate mitogen (PHA 16, Flow), a series of experiments were conducted to evaluate the application of a cytokinesis-block for scoring micronuclei and assays for chromosomal aberrations produced by treatment in G0 and G2 for the purposes of biological dosimetry following in vivo and/or in vitro exposure to X-rays, fission neutrons and bleomycin. In the X-irradiation studies, the frequencies of micronuclei and chromosomal aberrations (i.e., dicentrics and rings) increased in a dose-dependent manner. These data could be fitted to a linear-quadratic model. No difference was observed between irradiation in vivo and in vitro, suggesting that measurement of dicentrics and micronuclei in vitro after X-irradiation can be used as an in vivo dosimeter. Following in vivo irradiation with 1 MeV fission neutrons and in vitro culturing of mouse splenocytes, linear dose-response curves were obtained for induction of micronuclei and chromosomal aberrations. The lethal effects of neutrons were shown to be significantly greater than for a similar dose of X-rays. The relative biological effectiveness (RBE) was 6-8 in a dose range of 0.25-3 Gy for radiation-induced asymmetrical exchanges (dicentrics and rings), and about 8 for micronuclei in a dose range of 0.25-2 Gy. Furthermore, the induction of chromosomal aberrations by bleomycin was investigated in mouse G0 splenocytes (in vitro) and compared with X-ray data. Following bleomycin treatment (2 h) a similar pattern of dose-response curve was obtained as with X-rays. In this context a bleomycin rad equivalent of 20 micrograms/ml = 0.50 Gy was estimated. 相似文献

The induction of chromosome exchange aberrations by carbon ultrasoft X-rays in V79 hamster cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
J Thacker R E Wilkinson D T Goodhead 《International journal of radiation biology and related studies in physics, chemistry, and medicine》1986,49(4):645-656
V79 hamster cells in plateau (extended G1) phase were irradiated with either 250 kV ('hard') X-rays or carbon K characteristic ultrasoft X-rays under conditions minimizing cell overlap. These cells were killed most effectively by the carbon X-rays, by a factor of about 3 relative to hard X-rays, in agreement with our previous findings with cells in exponential growth. Chromosome-type aberrations were measured at 3 fixation times within the first division cycle after irradiation, and an approximately uniform sensitivity to aberration induction was found for both radiations. The combined aberration data show that carbon X-rays are 2 or more times as effective as hard X-rays, depending on dose and/or data fit. Exchange aberrations require recombination between two separate chromosomes, but they are induced efficiently by carbon X-rays with a substantial linear component to the dose-response despite the very short electron tracks (approximately less than 7 nm) that they produce in the cell. This implies either that the participating DNA helices must be lying extremely close together at the time of radiation damage, so that one track can effectively damage both helices, or that only one radiation-damaged chromosome is needed to promote an exchange event. 相似文献

Background
Few studies have investigated the toxicity and genotoxicity of extremely low frequency magnetic fields (ELF-MF) during prenatal and neonatal development. These phases of life are characterized by cell proliferation and differentiation, which might make them sensitive to environmental stressors. Although in vitro evidences suggest that ELF-MF may modify the effects of ionizing radiation, no research has been conducted so far in vivo on the genotoxic effects of ELF-MF combined with X-rays.Aim and methods
Aim of this study was to investigate in somatic and germ cells the effects of chronic ELF-MF exposure from mid gestation until weaning, and any possible modulation produced by ELF-MF exposure on ionizing radiation-induced damage. Mice were exposed to 50 Hz, 65 μT magnetic field, 24 hours/day, for a total of 30 days, starting from 12 days post-conception. Another group was irradiated with 1 Gy X-rays immediately before ELF-MF exposure, other groups were only X-irradiated or sham-exposed. Micronucleus test on blood erythrocytes was performed at multiple times from 1 to 140 days after birth. Additionally, 42 days after birth, genotoxic and cytotoxic effects on male germ cells were assessed by comet assay and flow cytometric analysis.Results
ELF-MF exposure had no teratogenic effect and did not affect survival, growth and development. The micronucleus test indicated that ELF-MF induced a slight genotoxic damage only after the maximum exposure time and that this effect faded away in the months following the end of exposure. ELF-MF had no effects on ionizing radiation (IR)-induced genotoxicity in erythrocytes. Differently, ELF–MF appeared to modulate the response of male germ cells to X-rays with an impact on proliferation/differentiation processes. These results point to the importance of tissue specificity and development on the impact of ELF-MF on the early stages of life and indicate the need of further research on the molecular mechanisms underlying ELF-MF biological effects. 相似文献17.
Human lymphocytes exposed to low doses of X-rays are less susceptible to radiation-induced mutagenesis 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Human lymphocytes exposed to low doses of X-rays become refractory to the subsequent induction of chromosomal damage by high doses of radiation (Shadley and Wolff, 1987). The current study was designed to test the effect of pretreatment of human T-lymphocytes with a low dose of X-rays on the induction of mutations at the hprt locus by a subsequent challenge dose. When cells were exposed to 1 cGy X-rays 24 h after phytohemagglutinin stimulation, the yield of mutations induced by a 300 cGy X-ray dose given 16 h later was reduced by approximately 70% from the control level of X-ray-induced mutations. This indicates that this previously described adaptive response to low dose X-rays also results in lymphocytes becoming refractory to the induction of gene mutations. 相似文献

The results of 3 sets of experiments on the effects of 22 μT sinusoidal 50 Hz magnetic fields (MF), applied for 1 h on 5 successive days (1 h/5 days), on the level of host defense and on spleen colony formation are reported. The first set of experiments shows the effects on the number of colony‐forming units (CFUs) on the spleen and on the cellularity of the thymus in mice. The MF exposures resulted in an increase in CFUs which was statistically significant with respect to the controls, but not with respect to the shams. Statistically significant changes in the thymic weight and thymic index with respect to both the controls and the shams were measured 1 h after the last MF exposure. In the second set of experiments, the mice were given a sublethal dose of X‐rays (6 Gy), which was followed by exposure 2 h later to the MF. The MF exposure was repeated at the same time of day for 5 days. The number of colonies per spleen showed a consistent, statistically significant increase with MF exposure and the number of CFUs per femur was decreased. In the third set of experiments, bone marrow was taken from mice which had been exposed to 22 μT fields and injected into mice which had been exposed to a lethal dose of X‐rays (9 Gy). The number of CFUs per femur in the recipient mice was shown to be reduced by a statistically significant amount at 1 and 4 days after injection.

A high intake of olive oil has been proposed as an explanation for the low incidence of coronary heart disease in Mediterranean countries, but it is unclear whether olive oil offers specific benefits beyond a low content of saturated fat. Some types of extra virgin olive oil are rich in non-polar phenols, which might be taken up by plasma LDL particles and protect these from becoming atherogenic by oxidative modification. In a pilot study we found that consumption of 47 g fortified olive oil containing 31 mg phenols significantly increased the lag time of LDL oxidation from 112 ± 5 min before to 130 ± 7 min 2h after the meal. However, this study was not controlled, and in the current study we therefore investigated whether olive oil phenols increase the lag time of LDL oxidation in postprandial samples when compared with a control group.
Twelve healthy men and women consumed four different olive oil supplements with a meal on four separate occasions: one similar to the supplement in the pilot study (positive control); one containing mainly non-polar olive oil phenols; one containing mainly polar olive oil phenols; and one without phenols (placebo). Lag time significantly increased 2 h after the meals with the positive control (8 ± 2 min), the polar phenols (8 ± 2 min), and the placebo (8 ± 2 min), but not after the non-polar phenols (-0.4 ± 3 min). Increases were not statistically different between supplements.
These results indicate that the lag time of LDL-oxidation is increased after consumption of a meal. This increase is probably due to non-specific meal or time effects and not to phenols from olives or olive oil. Furthermore, these findings stress the need for adequate controlled studies to avoid misinterpretations of the data. 相似文献
