Increased sensitivity of xeroderma pigmentosum cells to some chemical carcinogens and mutagens 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
The clone-forming capacity and level of DNA repair was examined on normal human cells and repair-deficient Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) fibroblasts exposed to various chemical carcinogens and mutagens.The cultured fibroblasts were treated for 90 min with the carcinogenic and mutagenic 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide (4NQO), 4-hydroxyaminoquinoline 1-oxide (4HAQO), 2-methyl-4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide (2-Me-4NQO), 3-methyl-4-nitropyridine 1-oxide 3-Me-4NPO) and the non-carcinogenic 6-nitroquinoline 1-oxide (6NQO). The response of the cells to the N-oxides was compared to that induced by the mutagen and carcinogen N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) and UV-irradiation.The XP cells showed (1) a reduced level of DNA repair synthesis when exposed to various carcinogenic N-oxides, (2) no unscheduled DNA synthesis following 6NQO and (3) a normal degree of DNA repair synthesis after treatment with MNNG.When the clone-forming capacity was examined the XP cells exhibited (1) a higher increased sensitivity to the various carcinogenic N-oxides, (2) no reduction in the clone formation following 6NQO and (3) a sensitivity virtually comparable to that of normal cells after treatment with MNNG.The results suggest a link between extent of DNA damage, level of DNA repair and degree of sensitivity in human cells exposed to various chemical carcinogens and which induce DNA alterations that cannot be repaired by DNA repair synthesis. 相似文献

The cytotoxicity of the “K-region” epoxides as well as several other reactive metabolites or chemical derivatives of polycyclic hydrocarbons was compared in normally-repairing human diploid skin fibroblasts and in fibroblasts from a classical xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) patient (XP2BE) whose cells have been shown to carry out excision repair of damage induced in DNA by ultraviolet (UV) radiation at a rate approx. 20% that of normal cells. Each compound tested exhibited a 2- to 3-fold greater cytotoxicity in this XP strain than in the normal strain. To determine whether this difference in survival reflected a difference in the capacity of the strains to repair DNA damage caused by such hydrocarbon derivatives, we compared the cytotoxic effect of several “K-region” epoxides in two additional XP strains, each with a different capacity for repair of UV damage. The ration of the slopes of the survival curves for each of the XP strains to that of the normal strain, following exposure to each epoxide, was very similar to that which we had previously determined for their respective UV curves, suggesting that human cells repair damage induced in DNA by exposure to hydrocarbon derivatives with the same system used for UV-induced lesions.To determine whether the deficiency in rate of excision repair in this classical XP strain (XP2BE) causes such cells to be abnormally susceptible to mutations induced by “K-region” epoxides of polycyclic hydrocarbons, we compared them with normal cells for the frequency of induced mutations to 8-azaguanine resistance. The XP cells were two to three times more susceptible to mutations induced by the “K-region” epoxide of benzo(a)pyrene (BP), 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA), and dibenz(a,h)anthracene (DBA). Evidence also was obtained that cells from an XP variant patient are abnormally susceptible to mutations induced by hydrocarbon epoxides and, as is the case following exposure to UV, are abnormally slow in converting low molecular weight DNA, synthesized from a template following exposure to hydrocarbon epoxides, into large-size DNA. 相似文献

The carcinogen 7-bromomethylbenz(a)anthracene (BBA), which can bind strongly to DNA, induces unscheduled DNA synthesis (DNA repair) in normal lymphocytes but almost none in lymphocytes from patients with Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), and inherited disease known to be defective in excision repair of ultraviolet-damaged DNA. We studied [3H]BBA's ability to bind to DNA of normal and XP lymphocytes, its influence on unscheduled DNA synthesis, and its removal from the DNA of both cell types. We found that 20–30% of the BBA is bound to macromolecules other than DNA and that its binding to DNA is essentially complete after 30 min. The induction of unscheduled DNA synthesis by the carcinogen in XP lymphocytes was approximately 10% of that induced in normal lymphocytes. While 15–20% of the BBA was removed from the DNA of normal cells 6 h after treatment, only 1–2% was removed from the DNA of XP cells. Thus, XP cells not only are defective in repairing ultraviolet-damaged DNA and excising thymine dimers but also fail to repair DNA damaged by certain carcinogens, and, most importantly, fail to remove the DNA-bound carcinogen, BBA. 相似文献

The cytotoxicity of three structurally-related direct-acting carcinogens, N-acetoxy-2-acetylaminofluorene, N-acetoxy-2-acetylaminophenanthrene and N-acetoxy-4-acetylaminobiphenyl, was compared in normal cells and in excision repair deficient xeroderma pigmentosum cells (XP12BE). All three proved significantly more cytotoxic to the XP cells than to the normal cells. At equicytoxic levels, substantially more residues were initially bound to the DNA of the normal cells than to the XP cells, suggesting that the former are able to remove a large percentage of the DNA bound residues before these can result in cell death. The ability of these cell strains to remove bound residues from DNA, to incorporate thymidine into parental strands of DNA during repair replication, and to recover from potentially lethal damage if held in the non-replicating, density-inhibited Go state was compared as a function of dose and time. The XP12BE cells proved virtually incapable of excision repair of DNA damage induced by these carcinogens and of recovery. In contrast, normal cells recovered from the potentially lethal effects of these three compounds and did so at a rate comparable to their rate of removal of bound residues and of repair synthesis. In the excision-deficient XP12BE cells, DNA adducts induced by N-acetoxy-2-acetylaminophenanthrene proved 3- to 6-fold more cytotoxic than adducts induced by the other two carcinogens. 相似文献

Many mutagens and carcinogens damage DNA and elicit repair synthesis in cells. In the present study we report that alkylation of the DNA of Escherichia coli that have been made permeable to nucleotides by toluene treatment results in the expression of a DNA polymerase I-directed repair synthesis. The advantage of the system described here is that it permits measurement of only DNA polymerase I-directed repair synthesis and serves as a simple, rapid method for determining the ability of a given chemical to elicit “excision-repair” in bacteria.DNA ligation is intentionally prevented in our system by addition of the inhibitor nicotinamide mononucleotide. In the absence of DNA ligase activity, nick translation is extensive and an “exaggerated” repair synthesis occurs. This amplification of repair synthesis is unique for DNA polymerase I since it is not observed in mutant cells deficient in this polymerase. DNA ligase apparently controls the extent of nucleotide replacement by this repair enzyme through its ability to rejoin “nicks” thereby terminating the DNA elongation process.The nitrosoamides N-methyl-N-nitrosourea and N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea, as well as the nitrosoamidines N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine and N-ethyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine, elicit DNA polymerase I-directed repair synthesis. Methyl methanesulphonate is especially potent in this regard, while its ethyl derivative, ethyl methanesulphonate, is a poor inducer of DNA polymerase I activity in permeabilized cells. 相似文献

Replicative bypass repair of UV damage to DNA was studied in wide variety of human, mouse and hamster cells in culture. Survival curve analysis revealed that in established cell lines (mouse L, Chinese hamster V79, HeLa S3 and SV40-transformed xeroderma pigmentosum (XP)), post-UV caffeine treatment potentiated cell killing by reducing the extrapolation number and mean lethal UV fluence (Do). In the Do reduction as the result of random inactivation by caffeine of sensitive repair there were marked clonal differences among such cell lines, V79 being most sensitive to caffeine potentiation. However, other diploid cell lines (normal human, excision-defective XP and Syrian hamster) exhibited no obvious reduction in Do by caffeine. In parallel, alkaline sucrose sedimentation results showed that the conversion of initially smaller segments of DNA synthetized after irradiation with 10 J/m2 to high-molecular-weight DNA was inhibited by caffeine in transformed XP cells, but not in the diploid human cell lines. Exceptionall, diploid XP variants had a retarded ability of bypass repair which was drastically prevented by caffeine, so that caffeine enhanced the lethal effect of UV. Neutral CsCl study on the bypass repair mechanism by use of bromodeoxyuridine for DNA synthesis on damaged template suggests that the pyrimidine dimer acts as a block to replication and subsequently it is circumvented presumably by a new process involving replicative bypassing following strand displacement, rather than by gap-filling de novo. This mechanism worked similarly in normal and XP cells, whether or not caffeine was present, indicating that excision of dimer is not always necessary. However, replicative became defective in XP variant and transformed XP cells when caffeine was present. It appears, therefore, that the replicative bypass repair process is either caffeine resistant or sensitive, depending on the cell type used, but not necessarily on the excision repair capability. 相似文献

Excision repair was measured in normal human and xeroderma pigmentosum group C fibroblasts treated with ultraviolet radiation and the carcinogens acridine mustard (ICR-170) or 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide (4NQO) by the techniques of unscheduled synthesis, photolysis of bromodeoxyuridine incorporated into parental DNA during repair, and assays of sites sensitive to ultraviolet (UV)-endonuclease. Doses of ICR-170 and 4NQO, low enough not to inhibit unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS), caused damage to DNA that was repaired by a long patch type mechanism and the rates of UDS decreased rapidly in the first 12 h after treatment. Repair after a combined action of UV plus ICR-170 or UV plus 4NQO was additive in normal cells and no inhibition of loss of endonuclease sensitive sites was detected. In xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) C cells there was less repair after UV plus ICR-170 than after each treatment separately; whereas there was an additive effect after UV plus 4NQO and no inhibition of loss of endonuclease sensitive sites. The results indicate that in normal human fibroblasts there are different rate limiting steps for removal of chemical and physical damages from DNA and that XP cells have a different repair system for ICR-170, not just a lower level, than normal cells. Possibly the same long patch repair system works on 4NQO damage in both normal and XP cells. 相似文献

Chang human liver cells were treated with the carcinogens N-methyl-N′-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) and nitrosomorpholine (NM). In addition, cells were exposed to the folic acid analog, 2-hydroxy-N10 nitrosofolic acid. Repair of the damage to DNA was estimated by selective photolysis of BUdR-containing repaired regions with 313 nm radiation. The influence of the co-carcinogen Arlacel A was estimated with the three compounds. Results indicated significant repair synthesis with MNNG- and NM-treated cells. 2-Hydroxy-N10 nitrosofolic acid elicited no damage to the liver DNA. Arlacel A prevented repair synthesis in cells treated with NM and MNNG. 相似文献

DNA excision repair inhibition by arabinofuranosyl cytosine (ara-C) or by ara-C/hydroxyurea (HU) was measured in log phase and confluent cultures of normal and xeroderma pigmentosium (XP)-variant human fibroblasts following insult by ultraviolet (UV) light (20 J/m2). Repair inhibition was determined by measuring the accumulation of DNA single-strand breaks/108 daltons following cell culture exposure to ara-C or ara-C/HU in a series of 3 hr. pulses up ro 24 hr. after UV insult. Both normal and XP-variant derived cells showed a wide range of sensitivity to ara-C in log phase cells (0.2–9.4 breaks/108 daltons DNA), although strand break accumulation was constant for each specific cell line. The same cells were more sensitive to ara-C/HU with a 2–14 fold increase in DNA strand breaks depending upon the cell line assayed. In confluent cultures of normal cells, maximum sensitivity to ara-C and ara-C/HU was achieved with similar levels of repair inhibition observed (16.1 and 16.5 breaks/108 daltons, respectively). The same level of repair inhibition was observed in confulent XP-variants receiving ara-C/HU, but was reduced by 62–68% in cells treated with ara-C alone. Ara-C repair arrest was more rapidly reversed by competing concentrations of exogenous deoxycytidine (dCyd) in XP-variant compared to normal cells, especially in confluent cell cultures. In ara-C/HU treated cells, the level of dCyd reversal was reduced in the XP-variant when compared to cells exposed to ara-C alone. However, the same addition of HU had relatively little effect on dCyd reversal in normal cells. The measurements of dNTP levels indicate an elevated level of intracellular deoxycytosine triphosphate in XP-variant vs normal cells. The implications of these results are discussed as they relate to possible excision repair anomalies in the XP-variant.Abbreviations ara-C

Summary UV-repair activity was studied in two sibs affected by XP showing different clinical symptoms. Complementation studies indicated that both patients fit into complementation group A. The levels of UV-induced 3H-thymidine incorporation, in fibroblasts and in lymphocytes, are different in the two patients: residual level of repair DNA synthesis in the sister is higher than in the brother. In one of the cell samples analyzed UDS analysis showed that in the sister a low proportion of cells with normal repair synthesis is present. 相似文献

Structural studies of a membrane-bound acetylcholine receptor from Torpedo californica 总被引:21,自引:0,他引:21
We investigated the differential repair of DNA lesions induced by bifunctional mitomycin C, monofunctional decarbamoyl mitomycin C and ultraviolet irradiation in normal human, Xeroderma pigmentosum and Fanconi's anemia cells using assays for the survival of clone-forming ability, alkaline sucrose sedimentation and hydroxyapatite chromatography of DNA. Four FA cell lines exhibited about 5 to 15 times higher sensitivity to MC killing, despite normal resistance to u.v. and DMC, than did normal human cells. The XP cells, however, were highly sensitive to u.v. and DMC killings due to their deficiency in excision repair, but the cells unexpectedly had an almost normal capacity for surviving MC and repairing the MC interstrand cross-links.In experiments to determine the sedimentation velocity of the DNA in alkaline sucrose gradients, normal and XP cells showed evidence for single-strand cutting following MC treatment. The sedimentation velocity of the DNA covalently cross-linked by MC in an FA strain was 2.5 times faster than that of the untreated control, and remained unaltered during post-incubation due to the lack of half-excision4 of cross-links. However, FA cells, but not XP cells, had the normal ability to incise DNA with the DMC monoadducts. Hydroxyapatite chromatography revealed the reversibly bihelical property of MC cross-linked DNA after denaturation. Normal and XP cells lost such reversibility during post-MC incubation as the result of cross-link removal with first-order kinetics (half-life = 2 h). The three FA lines studied exhibited two- to eightfold reduced rates of cross-link removal than normal and XP cells, indicating a difference in the repair deficiency of the FA strain. Thus we have been led to conclude that FA cells may have different levels of deficiency in half-excision repair of interstrand cross-links induced by MC, despite having normal mechanisms for repair of u.v.-induced pyrimidine dimers and DMC monoadducts, and vice versa in XP cells. 相似文献

Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) cells are dificient in the repair of damage induced by ultraviolet irradiation. Excision-repair-deficient XP cell strains have been classified into 7 distinct complementation groups, according to results of studies on cell fusion and UV irradiation. XP cells are not only abnormally sensitive to UV, but also to a variety of chemical carcinogens, including 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide (4NQO). Complementation analysis with XP strains from 4 different complementation groups with respect to the repair of 4NQO-induced DNA damage revealed that the classification of the strains into complementation groups with respect to 4NQO-induced repair coincides with the classification based on the repair of UV damage. 相似文献

A sensitive method to measure physical and chemical carcinogen-induced "unscheduled DNA synthesis" in rapidly dividing eukaryotic cells 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
A sensitive assay for quantitating ‘unscheduled DNA synthesis’ (repair synthesis) in transformed human amnion (AV3) cells has been developed. The combined use of hydroxyurea and arginine-deficient culture medium enabled the detection of 10–20 fold increases in ‘unscheduled DNA synthesis’ after treatment with N-acetoxy-2-acetylaminofluorene or ultraviolet light. The technique allows the detection of ‘DNA repair synthesis’ following treatment with extremely low doses of mutagens and carcinogens. 相似文献

Methylating agents are potent carcinogens that are mutagenic and cytotoxic towards bacteria and mammalian cells. Their effects can be ascribed to an ability to modify DNA covalently. Pioneering studies of the chemical reactivity of methylating agents towards DNA components and their effectiveness as animal carcinogens identified O6-methylguanine (O6meG) as a potentially important DNA lesion. Subsequent analysis of the effects of methylating carcinogens in bacteria and cultured mammalian cells — including the discovery of the inducible adaptive response to alkylating agents in Escherichia coli — have defined the contributions of O6meG and other methylated DNA bases to the biological effects of these chemicals. More recently, the role of O6meG in killing mammalian cells has been revealed by the lethal interaction between persistent DNA O6meG and the mismatch repair pathway. Here, we briefly review the results which led to the identification of the biological consequences of persistent DNA O6meG. We consider the possible consequences for a human cell of chronic exposure to low levels of a methylating agent. Such exposure may increase the probability that the cell's mismatch repair pathway becomes inactive. Loss of mismatch repair predisposes the cell to mutation induction, not only through uncorrected replication errors but also by methylating agents and other mutagens. 相似文献

Agglutination of Normal Cells by Plant Lectins following Infection with Nononcogenic Viruses 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
MAMMALIAN cells transformed by oncogenic viruses and chemical carcinogens undergo characteristic changes in their surface properties, some of which affect the control of cell multiplication. Certain plant lectins agglutinate transformed cells but not normal cells1–6, which, although possessing binding sites, can only be agglutinated following treatment with proteolytic enzymes3–5. Furthermore, both normal and transformed cells bind equal amounts of lectins, indicating that the increased susceptibility of transformed and trypsinized cells to agglutination is not caused by simple “unmasking” of hidden receptor sites. Nevertheless, the increased susceptibility of normal cells to agglutination following trypsinization may well result from changes occurring in the cell coat material. Since lytic infections with certain nononcogenic viruses10 and various drug treatments11 are known to cause modification of the coat material in normal cells, we were interested to see whether these treatments increased the susceptibility of cells to agglutination by lectins. 相似文献

THE technique of somatic cell hybridization has opened up studies on genetic regulation1 and human genetic analysis2–5. Hybrid cells are isolated in conditions that select against parental cells while allowing hybrids to survive by genomic complementation. In xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), a human disease with an autosomal recessive defect in an early stage of DNA repair6, the skin is extremely sensitive to sunlight in vivo7 and skin fibroblasts show sharply reduced survival following ultraviolet irradiation in vitro8,9. This communication concerns the use of ultraviolet irradiation in combination with a chemical method to produce hybrids between fibroblasts from XP and a hamster line, followed by analysis of these cells for their capacity to survive and repair DNA after exposure to ultraviolet. Methods for initiation and propagation of skin fibroblasts from two subjects, male and female siblings with XP, have been described8. Details on the origin of the TG2 line of golden hamster fibroblasts, which has a non-reverting mutation in the gene for hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT), the general hybridization procedure10 and methods for cell survival and DNA repair by unscheduled synthesis8 were also described previously. Hybrids were produced by fusion with Sendai virus and selected by ultraviolet irradiation followed by culture on HAT medium (Fig. 1). 相似文献

Summary Excision repair was studied in normal human and ataxia telangiectasia (AT) cells proficient in repair of UV and its mimetic chemicals, and in xeroderma pigmentosum group C (XP C) cells (deficient in repair of UV and its mimetics), after treatment with several combinations of chemical carcinogens, by the photolysis of bromodeoxyuridine incorporated into parental DNA during repair. Results indicate that repair was additive in AT, and XP C cells treated with N-acetoxy-2-acetylaminofluorene (AAAF) plus ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) or methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) indicating that there are different rate limiting steps for removal of both types of damage. Data on the combinations of 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide (4NQO) plus MMS or EMS are difficult to interpret, but they do not indicate inhibition of DNA repair.Research carried out under the auspices of the U.S. Dept. of Energy 相似文献

Genetic Heterogeneity of Xeroderma Pigmentosum demonstrated by Somatic Cell Hybridization 总被引:25,自引:0,他引:25
XERODERMA pigmentosum is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by hypersensitivity of the skin to ultraviolet radiation resulting in severe skin lesions. DNA repair replication after ultraviolet irradiation is absent or markedly reduced in cultivated fibroblasts from patients with xeroderma pigmentosum (XP cells) compared with normal cells1,2. Using the dark repair mechanism in microorganisms as a model, evidence has been presented that XP cells are defective in the incision step of DNA repair3–5. 相似文献

Lack of complementation between xeroderma pigmentosum complementation groups D and H 总被引:11,自引:3,他引:8

Summary The construction of permanent hybrid cell lines between xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) cells from different complementation groups allows analysis not only of the degree of repair correction but also of the restoration of biological activity to the UV-irradiated cells. With use of an immortal human cell line (HD2) that expresses excision repair defects typical of XP group D, a series of permanent hybrid cells has been produced with XP cells from groups A to H. Excision repair, as measured by incision analysis and unscheduled DNA synthesis, is restored to normal or near normal levels in crosses involving HD2 and cells from XP groups A, B, C, E, F, G, and I. All these hybrids show complementation for the recovery of normal UV restistance. As expected, hybrids expressing poor incision and hypersensitivity to UV were produced in crosses between HD2 and XPD fibroblasts, but they were also produced without exception when XPH was the partner. In the permanent HD2 x XPD or XPH hybrids, analysis of incision capacity reveals abnormally low activity and therefore that there has been no complementation. The true hybrid nature of HD2 x XPH cells has been confirmed by HL-A and -B tissue typing; moreover, detailed kinetic analysis of incision in these cells shows that the XPH phenotype, rather than the XPD, is expressed, i.e. breaks accumulate at low UV fluence of 1 J/m2. To help confirm these findings, another immortal XPD cell line was used in fusions involving HD2, XPH, or XPI. Cells resistant to ultraviolet were produced only with XPI fibroblasts. These data are discussed in terms of whether XPD and H mutations are likely to be allelic with respect to incision. 相似文献

Rapid electroelution of nucleic acids from agarose and acrylamide gels 总被引:19,自引:0,他引:19
The alkaline/filter DNA elution technique measures single-strand DNA breaks in mammalian cells based on the DNA molecular weight dependent retention of the macromolecule on 2-μm-pore-size filters. Described here is a modification of the technique which uses [3H]thymidine-labeled DNA of γ-irradiated cells as an internal reference. Thus, an increased precision is obtained in the assessment of this type of DNA damage at biologically significant radiation doses (i.e., where cell survival occurs). The measure of DNA damage is based on the actual initial DNA elution rate, i.e., arithmetic ratio of the elution of “test” DNA (i.e., 14C-labeled DNA) relative to the elution of “reference” DNA (i.e., 3H-labeled DNA). The repair of this damage on postirradiation incubation of the cells is detected as a decrease in the rate of “test” DNA cluted relative to “reference” DNA from unincubated cells. For Chinese hamster V79–171 cells irradiated with 5 Gy (500 rads), repair can be resolved into two first-order processes having rate constants (at 24°C) of ~0.190 and ~0.017 min?1. 相似文献
