A comparative study was made of the yield of chromosome aberrations in human lymphocyte culture exposed to 60Co-gamma-rays (2 Gy) at different mitotic cycle stages the cells being fixed after 52 and 60 hr. It was shown that with the latter fixation time (60 hr) the frequency of chromosome aberrations after irradiation in G1 stage was substantially lower than that with the former one (52 hr) and, vice versa, it was higher after irradiation in S and G2 stages. The authors discuss the probable causes of the distinctions observed.  相似文献

PHA-stimulated human lymphocytes in the G1 stage were irradiated with UV radiation and X-rays, and the cells were analyzed for chromosomal aberrations in the first mitotic division. The frequency of dicentric chromosomes after single X-irradiation in the G1 stage was about twice the yield in the G0 stage. No increase in the yield of dicentrics was observed after combined irradiation with UV and X-rays. This is contrary to the finding for G0 lymphocytes, where a 2-fold increase of chromosome aberrations was observed. UV irradiation of G1 lymphocytes induced chromatid-type aberrations whereas no significant yield of dicentric chromosomes was observed. This is in agreement with previous findings in Chinese hamster cells in the G1 stage [7]. Irradiation of G0 lymphocytes with UV radiation induce a low frequency of dicentric chromosomes. Thus, the present data indicate that the ratio between chromosome-type and chromatid-type aberrations is different in the G1 and G0 stages in human lymphocytes irradiated with UV radiation.  相似文献

Human lymphocytes were treated after different times of incubation, either by 60Co gamma-rays (1 Gy) followed by 5-fluorodeoxyuridine (FUdR, 2.10-7 M during 2,5 h) or by radiation and FUdR, separately. Chromosomal aberrations were studied after 51 h of incubation. When administered alone, FUdR increased the frequency of chromatid aberrations and gaps over the spontaneous level. This increase took place mainly during two periods of the mitotic cycle, namely, on the borderline between G1 and S stages and at the end of the G2 stage. FudR barely affected the frequency of chromosomal aberrations. THe effect did not depend upon the concentration of FUdR. Irradiation during the G1 stage produced chromatid aberrations and gaps with the same frequency as FUdR, whereas the frequency of chromosome aberrations was much higher. When administered after irradiation, FUdR increased the frequency of all types of aberrations; the periods of mitotic cycle when this increase was statistically significant correspond to those of "mutagenic" action of FUdR mentioned above. This pattern may be easily explained if one postulates that in our experiments FUdR exhibited the features of a "pseudomutagen" i.e. the factor which suppresses repair of primary lesions (spontaneous or radiation-induced) without giving rise to new mutational changes.  相似文献

Cell estimates of genetic damage repair were obtained to characterize the epigenetic effect of the rad201(G1) mutation. The estimates included morphological defects (malformations); the frequency of chromosome aberrations in somatic cells; and somatic mosaicism, reflecting double-strand break repair via conversion. The range and frequency of malformations significantly differed between the rad201(G1) epigenetic effect and irradiation. A high pupal lethality, detected upon P-element mobilization, was not associated with an increase in the frequency of cells with chromosome aberrations, while somatic mosaicism was far greater. The results are discussed in the context of differences between radiation and P-element mutagenesis.  相似文献

The influence of aminopterin (AP), tritiated thymidine ([3H] TdR) and "cold" thymidine (TdR) on production of chromosomal aberrations in meristematic cells of Crepis capillaris irradiated in different stages of the mitotic cycle with 300 rad of 63Co gamma-rays was studied. All the chemical treatments increased most of all the frequency of aberrations induced during two "critical periods" localized before the stage of DNA synthesis (fixation 9 h after irradiation) and before that of mitosis (4 h). Treatments with TdR and [3H]TdR increased most of all the frequency of chromatid aberrations when irradiation was performed in G1, and the frequency of gaps when irradiated in G2. Treatment with AP increased the yield of different types of aberration more uniformly. The modifying effect of the chemicals tested appeared to be independent of replicative synthesis. The "critical periods" are suggested to be the stages when regular "proof reading" and correction of spontaneous errors takes place [9,13]. In addition to this regular mechanism, radiation induces an "emergency" mechanism of repair. AP inhibits the mechanism of regular repair; in addition TdR and [3H] TdR suppress the lateral spread of primary injuries across the chromosome.  相似文献

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

The cytogenetic effects of triethylenemelamine (TEM) were studied using five different mammalian tissues. Treatments of 0.1 and 0.2 mg/kg TEM on differentiating mouse spermatogonia and bone marrow cells showed no significant differences in the frequency of chromosomal aberrations produced in these two tissues. At higher doses, however, the sensitivites of the two tissues appear to be different. The frequency of aberrations varies with time after treatment, with the greatest amount occurring at the latter fixation times. Results of an experiment on primary spermatocytes indicated a correlation between the frequency of chromosome aberrations and DNA replication. Human peripheral leukocytes were utilized in an attempt to clarify the cell-stage specificity of TEM-induced chromosome aberrations. Cultures were treated with TEM prior to PHA stimulation (G0), as well as various time intervals after stimulation (late G,1 S, and G2). The most sensitive stages of the cell cycle to aberration induction were later G1 and S, with chromatid aberrations the predominant type. A very low yield of chromosome damage was observed with the G0 and G1 treated stages. The experiments described tend to support the view that TEM is most effective at inducing aberrations when an intervening round of DNA replication has occurred.  相似文献

A technique has been perfected for enabling good microscope preparations to be obtained from the larval ganglia of Drosophila melanogaster. This system was then tested with X-rays and an extensive series of data was obtained on the chromosome aberrations induced in the various stages of the cell cycle.-The analysis of the results obtained offers the following points of interest: (1) There exists a difference in radio-sensitivity between the two sexes. The females constantly display a greater frequency of both chromosome and chromatid aberrations. They also display a greater frequency of spontaneous aberrations. (2) In both sexes the overall chromosome damage is greater in cells irradiated in stages G(2) and G(1). These two peaks of greater radiosensitivity are produced by a high frequency of terminal deletions and chromatid exchanges and by a high frequency of dicentrics, respectively. (3) The aberrations are not distributed at random among the various chromosomes. On the average, the Y chromosome is found to be more resistant and the breaks are preferentially localized in the pericentromeric heterochromatin of the X chromosome and of the autosomes. (4) Somatic pairing influences the frequency and type of the chromosome aberrations induced. In this system, such an arrangement of the chromosomes results in a high frequency of exchanges and dicentrics between homologous chromosomes and a low frequency of scorable translocations. Moreover, somatic pairing, probably by preventing the formation of looped regions in the interphase chromosomes, results in the almost total absence of intrachanges at both chromosome and chromatid level.  相似文献

Human lymphocytes from normal and Down syndrome (DS) subjects were examined to determine the effect of 3-aminobenzamide (3AB) on X-ray-induced chromosome aberrations. Lymphocytes were treated with 150 or 300 rad of X-rays in the presence of 3 mM 3AB for various times after irradiation, and then the cells were analyzed for the presence of chromosome aberrations in mitotic cells. 3-Aminobenzamide had no effect on the frequency of chromosome aberrations produced by X-rays in G0 lymphocytes from normal subjects. In contrast, lymphocytes from DS patients displayed an increase in the frequency of chromosome aberrations as a result of treatment with X-rays in the presence of 3AB. These observations indicate that DS lymphocytes are more sensitive to the inhibition of poly(ADP)ribose synthetase than normal lymphocytes.  相似文献

The frequency of chromosome aberrations induced by UV light at wavelengths 254, 265, 280 and 302 using doses 2-10 J/m2 in the primary culture of mouse embryonic fibroblasts during the G1, S and G2 phases was studied at metaphase of the first mitosis. Two classes of chromosome aberrations were distinguished. These classes differ in the time intervals of the final establishment of the cell cycle. The aberrations of the class 1 emerge before the beginning of prometaphase (possibly, at interphase). Formation of the second class aberrations is completed during the metaphase. It is shown that the class 1 aberrations occur with almost the same rate in approx. 7% of cells, irrespective of the cell cycle, irradiation dose and wavelength. It is suggested that these aberrations arise as a result of indirect UV action on the chromosome structures; the mechanism of their emergence does not depend on DNA replication. The class 2 aberrations do not appear after UV irradiation during the post-DNA-synthetic G2 phase of the cell cycle. However, after UV treatment at the G1 or S periods, they represent the majority of aberrations and their rate increases almost monotonously with the radiation dose. The UV action spectrum for these aberrations coincides with the adsorption spectrum of thymidine and the action spectrum for DNA cross-links. Thus, it may be inferred that formation of DNA cross-links following thymine dimerization is the first step in formation of UV-induced aberrations of the class 2. The passage of cells through DNA replication is a very important step in the process of their emergence.  相似文献

The mus(2)201G1 mutation determining high sensitivity to UV-rays and methyl methansulfonate (MMS) has been studied. The larvae of Drosophila of different age were treated with UV-rays and MMS. Lethality of organisms during the larvae and the pupa stages of the development, as well as the frequency of spontaneous and induced chromosome aberrations were registered. The mus(2)201G1 mutation was shown to determine high lethality of Drosophila during larvae and pupa stages as well as a high frequency of spontaneous and induced chromosome aberrations. The conclusion was made that chromosome aberrations are not the single reason for the death of the mutant flies after mutagenic treatment and that the function of the mus(2)201G1 gene is necessary for divided and undivided cells.  相似文献

In this review the authors present only their own results. They include the determination of the duration of the different stages of the cell cylce in UV-irradiated barley cells, the effect of different UV doses on the frequency of chromosome aberrations in barley, the increase in UV-induced chromosome aberration frequency induced in barley by caffeine and the effect of UV doses on the induction of pyrimidine dimers and sites sensitive to UV-endonuclease action (ESS) in barley cells and Nicotina tabacum protoplasts. In addition, the excision of pyrimidine dimers and ESS after irradiation with various doses of UV, unscheduled DNA synthesis in N. tabacum protoplasts and the correlation between the induction of pyrimidine dimers in DNA and the frequency of chromosome aberrations are reported. Data demonstrating that photoreactivation decrease the number of DNA lesions and chromosome aberrations induced by UV are also presented.  相似文献

Ten hours after irradiation of mouse cornea with doses of 0.09 to 1.5 J/cm2 the incidence of cells with chromosome aberrations increased linearly with dose and amounted to 11.7% at 248 nm, 5.5% at 223 nm and 2.6% at 193 nm per 1 J/cm2. No induced chromosome aberrations occurred 72 hr following irradiation. Within the dose range from 3.0 to 18 J/cm2 the cytogenetic effect of radiation was less manifest than that with the doses mentioned above, the frequency of chromosome aberrations being independent of either wave length or radiation dose and amounted to 2.5 to 3.0%.  相似文献

In order to evaluate the relative role of two major DNA double strand break repair pathways, i.e., non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) and homologous recombination repair (HRR), CHO mutants deficient in these two pathways and the parental cells (AA8) were X-irradiated with various doses. The cells were harvested at different times after irradiation, representing G2, S and G1 phase at the time of irradiation, The mutant cell lines used were V33 (NHEJ deficient), Irs1SF, 51-D1 (HRR deficient). In addition to parental cell line (AA8), a revertant of V33, namely V33-155 was employed. Both types of mutant cells responded with increased frequencies of chromosomal aberrations at all recovery times in comparison to the parental and revertant cells. Mutant cells deficient in NHEJ were more sensitive in all cell stages in comparison to HRR deficient mutant cells, indicating NHEJ is the major repair pathway for DSB repair through out the cell cycle. Both chromosome and chromatid types of exchange aberrations were observed following G1 irradiation (16 and 24 h recovery). Interestingly, configurations involving both chromosome (dicentrics) and chromatid exchanges were encountered in G1 irradiated V33 cells. This may indicate that unrepaired DSBs accumulate in G1 in these mutant cells and carried over to S phase, where they are repaired by HRR or other pathways such as B-NHEJ (back up NHEJ), which appear to be highly error prone. Both NHEJ and HRR, which share some of the same proteins in their pathways, are involved in the repair of DSBs leading to chromosomal aberrations, but with a major role of NHEJ in all stages of cell cycle.  相似文献

Two-cell mouse embryos were X-irradiated in the late G2 phase in vivo. The first and second postradiation mitoses were analyzed for chromosomal anomalies. The majority of structural aberrations visible at the first mitosis after irradiation were chromatid breaks and chromatid gaps; only a few interchanges and dicentrics were observed. The aberration frequency resulted in a dose-effect relationship which was well described by a linear model. At the second mitosis 29% of the structural aberrations of the first mitosis were counted; the aberration quality changed only slightly. It is discussed whether these aberrations are to be considered "new," "derived," or unchanged transmitted aberrations. Contrary to the results obtained after irradiation of one-cell embryos, little chromosome loss was induced by radiation in two-cell embryos.  相似文献

The effect of low-dose irradiation and of age on the radiosensitivity of human lymphocytes was studies in two groups: control (67 people) and exposed to uncontrolled low-dose irradiation in past (165 people). Radiosensitivity of lymphocytes was estimated by the level of chromosome aberrations induced in vitro by gamma-radiation Cs137 at the dose 1.5 Gy. In exposed children the frequency of induced chromosome aberrations was higher and in the exposed adults--lower in comparison to the coresponding controls. To investigate an age response of the number of chromosome aberrations three statistical approaches were used: the correlation analysis of individual data, the correlation analysis of means for 10-years intervals, the comparison of 3 age groups. In control group no significant alteration in the level of induced chromosome aberrations with age was found. However the significant negative correlation between these two parameters was revealed in exposed group, which likely is due to the opposite direction of differences in radiosensitivity of exposed children and adults from the corresponding controls.  相似文献

Chromosome aberrations induced at the first-cleavage metaphase of eggs fertilized with sperm recovered from spermiogenic cells which had been X-irradiated and treated with mitomycin C (MMC) at various stages were observed using in vitro fertilization and embryo culture technique. Furthermore, the repair capacity of the fertilized eggs for X-ray- and MMC-induced DNA damage which was induced in the spermiogenic cells and retained in the sperm until fertilization was investigated by analysis of the potentiation effects of 2 repair inhibitors, 3-aminobenzamide (3AB) and caffeine on the yield of chromosome aberrations. The frequency of chromosome aberrations observed in the eggs fertilized with sperm recovered from the early spermatid to late spermatocyte stage with X-irradiation of 4 Gy (16-20 days after X-irradiation) was markedly higher than that in the eggs fertilized with sperm recovered from spermatozoa to late spermatid stage (0-8 days after X-irradiation). The induced chromosome aberrations predominantly consisted of chromosome-type aberrations, the main type being chromosome fragment followed by chromosome exchange through all the spermiogenic stages. On the other hand, a high frequency of chromosome aberrations was not induced through all the stages with MMC treatment of 5 mg/kg. The remarkable potentiation effects of 3AB and caffeine were found in the eggs fertilized with sperm recovered from almost all the spermiogenic stages after X-irradiation. In the MMC treatment, a remarkable caffeine effect was observed occasionally in mid-early spermatids to late spermatocytes where a large amount of MMC damage could be induced. These results suggest that the large amount of DNA lesions induced in spermiogenic cells by X-rays and MMC persist as reparable damage until sperm maturation and are effectively repaired in the cytoplasm of the fertilized eggs.  相似文献

A combined effect has been studied of 5-bromo-deoxyuridine (BDU) and gamma-radiation on human lymphocytes at the G0 stage. BDU is shown to induce chromatid aberrations irrespective of its radiation. The frequency of chromatid aberrations rises with the BDU concentration. BDU modifies the effect of gamma-radiation on human lymphocytes at the G0 stage, increasing the number of chromosome aberrations. BDU slows down the lymphocyte cell cycle.  相似文献

A study was made of the influence of leucocytic interferon on the yield of chromosome aberrations in a human lymphocyte culture after irradiation of cells with fast neutrons (0.85 MeV) at the G0- and G1-stages. It was shown that in cells treated with interferon (50 UE/ml) prior to irradiation the total yield of aberrations and of some of their types was invariable as compared to the irradiated control.  相似文献
