Significant increase of sister-chromatid exchanges (SCE) in V79 cells treated with 2 organophosphorus pesticides (OPP), fenthion and oxydemeton-methyl, was observed. The other 7 compounds (6 OPP and 1 defoliant) namely, amaze, azinphos-methyl, bolstar, DEF-defoliant, fensulfothion, monitor and nemacur caused no increase of SCE frequencies at the doses tested. All the compounds except fensulfothion and oxydemeton-methyl induced cell-cycle delay in varying degrees. Cell-cycle delay caused by an OPP was found to be dose-dependent. Based on these data as well as others reported, it would appear that OPP which induce no SCE increase and no or slight cell-cycle delay could be considered as good candidates to substitute the pesticides that have been found to be harmful to the environment. 相似文献

We reported previously that the homologous recombinational repair (HRR)-deficient Chinese hamster mutant cell line irs3 (deficient in the Rad51 paralog Rad51C) showed only a 50% spontaneous frequency of sister chromatid exchange (SCE) as compared to parental wild-type V79 cells. Furthermore, when irradiated with very low doses of alpha particles, SCEs were not induced in irs3 cells, as compared to a prominent bystander effect observed in V79 cells [H. Nagasawa, Y. Peng, P.F. Wilson, Y.C. Lio, D.J. Chen, J.S. Bedford, J.B. Little, Role of homologous recombination in the alpha-particle-induced bystander effect for sister chromatid exchanges and chromosomal aberrations, Radiat. Res. 164 (2005) 141-147]. In the present study, we examined additional Chinese hamster cell lines deficient in the Rad51 paralogs Rad51C, Rad51D, Xrcc2, and Xrcc3 as well as another essential HRR protein, Brca2. Spontaneous SCE frequencies in non-irradiated wild-type cell lines CHO, AA8 and V79 were 0.33SCE/chromosome, whereas two Rad51C-deficient cell lines showed only 0.16SCE/chromosome. Spontaneous SCE frequencies in cell lines defective in Rad51D, Xrcc2, Xrcc3, and Brca2 ranged from 0.23 to 0.33SCE/chromosome, 0-30% lower than wild-type cells. SCEs were induced significantly 20-50% above spontaneous levels in wild-type cells exposed to a mean dose of 1.3mGy of alpha particles (<1% of nuclei traversed by an alpha particle). However, induction of SCEs above spontaneous levels was minimal or absent after alpha-particle irradiation in all of the HRR-deficient cell lines. These data suggest that Brca2 and the Rad51 paralogs contribute to DNA damage repair processes induced in bystander cells (presumably oxidative damage repair in S-phase cells) following irradiation with very low doses of alpha particles. 相似文献

Hydrazine in high concentrations very effectively induces endoreduplication in Chinese hamster V 79 cells. The addition of 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) for the duration of one cell cycle prior to the induction of endoreduplication produces diplochromosomes with sister chromatid differentiation (SCD) after differential chromatid staining. The fact that diplochromosomes with complete SCD are obtained shows that endoreduplication was induced in cells that were in G2-phase. The analysis of sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) showed that hydrazine treatment rarely led to increased SCE frequencies in mitoses after endoreduplication, but that it caused a strong SCE induction in diploid second division metaphases in the same culture. Neither catalase nor cysteine had an effect on the induction of endoreduplication or the incidence of SCEs. Treatment of the cells with mitomycin C prior to addition of BrdU led to increased SCE frequencies. Compared with the normal mitoses from the same preparation, the mitoses after endoreduplication showed a significantly reduced induction of SCEs. In contrast to these findings, SCE induction was not reduced in the common tetraploid V 79 cells after colcemid-induced polyploidization. 相似文献

The effect of glutathione depletion on sister-chromatid exchange induction by cytostatic drugs 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Using sister-chromatid exchanges (SCEs) as an indicator for DNA damage, we investigated the role of glutathione (GSH) as a determinant of cellular sensitivity to the DNA-damaging effects of the cytostatic drugs adriamycin (AM) and cyclophosphamide (CP). Exposure of V79 cells to buthionine sulfoximine (BSO) resulted in a complete depletion of cellular GSH content without toxicity and without increasing the SCE frequency. Subsequent 3-h treatment of GSH-depleted cells with AM or S9-mix-activated CP caused a potentiation of SCE induction. In Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, which showed a higher GSH level compared to V79 cells, BSO treatment led to a depletion of GSH to about 5% of the control and increased SCE induction by AM and CP. Compared to V79 cells, the effect of AM on SCE frequencies was less distinct in CHO cells, while CP exerted a similar effect in both cell lines. Pretreatment of V79 cells with GSH increased the cellular GSH content, but had no effect on the induction of SCEs by AM, and pretreatment with cysteine influenced neither GSH levels nor SCE induction by AM. The study shows that SCEs are a suitable indicator for testing the modulation of of drug genotoxicity by GSH. The importance of different GSH contents of cell lines for their response to mutagens is discussed. 相似文献

The mechanisms of sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) are not known. One hypothesis is that SCE is a manifestation of Rad51-dependent homologous recombination repair. In order to test this hypothesis, we have compared the frequencies of SCEs induced by mitomycin C (MMC) and 254nm ultraviolet radiation (UVC) in wt V79B and the Rad51C-deficient CL-V4B cells. SCEs were analysed in the first (M1) and second (M2) post-treatment mitoses. In M1 MMC induced the same frequencies of SCEs in CL-V4B and V79B cells, while the UVC-induced SCE frequencies were lower in CL-V4B than V79B cells. In CL-V4B cells, MMC-induced SCEs were higher in M2 than in M1, suggesting that interstrand cross-links (ICL) are either not removed completely or are transformed into another form of DNA damage that persists until the next cell cycle. We suggest that SCEs may represent a mechanism to bypass MMC-induced ICL without their removal. 相似文献

Endoreduplication was induced in V 79 cells using Colcemid. The concentration of Colcemid necessary to induce endoreduplication is about 1000 times higher than that needed to arrest mitoses or to induce ordinary tetraploid cells. Diplochromosomes with sister chromatid differentiation were obtained by adding BrdU for the duration of one cell cycle prior to the induction of endoreduplication. The induction of endoreduplication with Colcemid had no influence on the frequency of sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs). Treating the cultures with mitomycin C (MMC) before adding BrdU increased the percentage of endoreduplieated mitoses and also led to marked SCE induction. In the diplochromosomes, the frequencies of both twin SCEs (first cycle) as well as single SCEs (second cycle) were increased. It was also found that the SCE frequencies in mitoses after endoreduplication were lower than the values found in diploid and ordinary tetraploid metaphases of the same preparation. The possible conclusions concerning the lifetime of SCE-inducing lesions and the influence of repair processes are discussed. 相似文献

Penicillamine (PA), a drug used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis induces sister-chromatid exchanges (SCEs) and chromosome aberrations in cultivated mammalian cells. PA in concentrations from 400 micrograms/ml upward induced SCEs and proliferative delay in human blood cultures when added for the last 24 h of the culture period. In V79 Chinese hamster cells SCE induction was found after acute exposure to PA before the addition of BrdUrd and after chronic exposure during one cell cycle in the presence of BrdUrd. The effect of PA on SCE frequencies occurred both after treatment in complete medium and in serum-free medium and was not influenced by the application of an S9 mix. The simultaneous addition of peroxidase reduced the PA-induced SCEs whereas catalase did not show any effect. Chromosome analysis in the first mitosis after PA treatment revealed a significant increase in the incidence of chromosome aberrations and endoreduplication. The results are discussed with respect to the cause and the significance of the observed effects in connection with mutagenicity testing. 相似文献

We recently constructed a Chinese hamster V79-derived cell line that stably expresses human cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2E1 and human sulphotransferase (SULT) 1A1. These enzymes are involved in the bioactivation of numerous promutagens/procarcinogens, but are not taken into account in standard in vitro mutagenicity assays. Various carbohydrate pyrolysis products and other food contaminants that induce tumours or preneoplastic lesions in laboratory animals are inactive or only weakly active in standard in vitro genotoxicity assays. This is the case for acrylamide, furan, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, nitrofen and N-nitrosodimethylamine. These compounds were investigated for induction of sister chromatid exchange (SCE) in V79-hCYP2E1-hSULT1A1 cells. All test compounds showed positive results over a wide concentration range, starting at 0.01 microM for N-nitrosodimethylamine, 3 microM for furan, 12.5 microM for nitrofen, 20 microM for 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, and 200 microM for acrylamide. The concentration-response curve of furan was unusual, as this compound induced a statistically significant, but rather constant and weak increase in SCE over an extremely wide concentration range (3-16,000 microM). Furan was slightly less active, whereas the remaining compounds were much less active in the parental V79 cell line than in V79-hCYP2E1-hSULT1A1 cells. Compared to many other genotoxic effects, the study of SCE only requires small numbers of cells (and incubation volumes) and usually is detected even at low concentrations of the genotoxicant. Therefore, induction of SCE in V79-hCYP2E1-hSULT1A1 cells may be useful in the genotoxicity testing of preparations of heated food and in their bioassay-directed fractionation. 相似文献

The influence of beta-myrcene (MC) on sister-chromatid exchanges (SCE) in V79 cells induced by 4 S9 mix-activated indirect mutagens was studied. The mutagens used were cyclophosphamide (CP), benzo[a]pyrene (BP), aflatoxin B1 (AFB) and 9,10-dimethyl-1,2-benz[a]anthracene (DMBA). MC effectively inhibited SCEs induced by CP and AFB in a dose-dependent manner, but it had no effect on SCE induction by BP and DMBA. MC also reduced CP-induced SCE frequencies in a hepatic tumor cell line (HTC). These cells are metabolically competent and activate CP into its biologically active metabolites. Our results support the suggestion that MC modulates the genotoxicity of indirect-acting mutagens by inhibiting certain forms of the cytochrome P-450 enzymes required for activation of premutagens like CP and AFB. 相似文献

The effect of a tumor promoter, 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol 13-acetate (TPA) alone and in combination with mitomycin C (MMC) or cyclophosphamide (CPP) on the induction of sister-chromatid exchanges (SCE) in Chinese hamster V79 cells was investigated. TPA alone at various doses and durations caused no increase of SCE frequency. MMC either at the dose of 0.03 or 0.003 μg/ml alone or in combination with TPA (2 μg/ml) all caused a significant increase of SCE frequencies. There was no difference in SCE frequencies between the cultures treated with MMC alone at 0.03 μg/ml and those treated with MMC plus TPA. However, cultures treated with MMC at 0.003 μg/ml plus TPA had significantly and consistently higher SCE frequencies than those treated with MMC alone at all durations. Treatment of CPP at 1 μg/ml activated by S9 mix caused significant increase of SCE frequencies. Surprisingly, the cultures treated with CPP, S9 mix plus TPA (2 μg/ml) caused a drastic reduction of SCE frequencies as compared to those treated with CPP and S9 mix only at all durations. These results indicate that TPA alone had no effect on SCE in V79 cells. TPA enhanced the SCE induction in V79 cells treated with MMC at a low dose, i.e. 0.003 μg/ml, but it inhibited SCE induction in cultures treated with the indirect mutagen CPP. Thus, TPA has no direct effect on genetic materials but it may indirectly alter the effects of a mutagen. 相似文献

The effect of low pH on sister-chromatid exchanges (SCE), chromosomal aberrations (CA), and the cell cycle were investigated in Chinese hamster cells. The cells were treated in media over the pH range 7.2–5.4 during 24-h continuous or 3-h pulse treatments. In Chinese hamster ovary K1 cells, slight increases in SCE frequency were induced by 3-h pulse treatment with a 28-h recovery time. In Chinese hamster V79 379A cells, similar slight increases in SCE frequency were observed with both treatments. A severe delay in the cell cycle was noted in both cell types. DNA analysis with flow cytometry indicated that the cell cycle delay occured in S phase. CA were observed in the first metaphase. Multiple fixation times over a 27-h period were used to determine whether or not CA could be induced in cells exposed to low pH medium in more than one part of the cell cycle. Only a few chromatid gaps were induced when the cells were fixed at 0–9 h after the 3-h treatment, most probably representing cells that were treated in their G2 or late S phase. CA were induced in cells fixed between 12 and 27 h after the 3-h treatment. These cells were most probably treated in early S phase, in G1, or in the previous G2/M. These results suggest that low pH clastogenicity is S-dependent. 相似文献

Role of homologous recombination in the alpha-particle-induced bystander effect for sister chromatid exchanges and chromosomal aberrations 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

The bystander effect for sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) and chromosomal aberrations was examined in hamster cell lines deficient in either DNA-PKcs (V3 cells, deficient in nonhomologous end joining, NHEJ) or RAD51C (irs3 cells, deficient in homologous recombination, HR). Cells synchronized in G0/G1 phase were irradiated with very low fluences of alpha particles such that < 1% of the nuclei were traversed by an alpha particle. Wild-type cells showed a prominent bystander response for SCE induction; an even greater effect was observed in V3 cells. On the other hand, no significant induction of SCE was observed in the irs3 RAD51C-deficient bystander cells irradiated at various stages in the cell cycle. Whereas a marked bystander effect for chromosomal aberrations occurred in V3 cells, the induction of chromosomal aberrations in irs3 bystander cells was minimal and similar to that of wild-type cells. Based on these findings, we hypothesize that HR is essential for the induction of SCE in bystander cells; however, HR is unable to repair the DNA damage induced in NHEJ-deficient bystander cells that leads to either SCE or chromosomal aberrations. 相似文献

The cell cycle dependence of sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) induced by luminol, a new potent inhibitor of poly(ADP-ribose) synthetase, was studied in Chinese hamster V79 cells. Continuous treatment with luminol during two whole cell cycles in the presence of 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine (BrdUrd), or in the first or second cycle induced SCEs very efficiently in a linear dosedependent manner. However, no enhancement of SCE levels was observed after luminol treatment in a cycle preceding BrdUrd treatment, in contrast to results found with other strong SCE inducers such ascis-diammine-dichloroplatinum (II) (CDDP) and mitomycin C (MMC). Luminol was about ten times as effective in inducing SCEs as 3-aminobenzamide (3AB), an inhibitor of the NAD+ site of poly(ADP-ribose) synthetase. The induction of SCEs by luminol was restricted to the Sphase of the cell cycle with peaks at an early and a late stage, corresponding to the biphasic replication of DNA. The mechanism of SCE appears to be the same at the early and late stages of S-phase for luminol-induced SCE formation. 相似文献

Sister-chromatid exchange (SCE) induced by ultraviolet (UV) irradiation and viability after UV irradiation were studied in lymphoblastoid cell lines derived from 7 patients with xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) and 6 normal donors. UV irradiation caused significant increases of SCEs in both XP and normal cells. In 3 XP cell lines, which were deficient in unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) and sensitive to the killing effect of UV, very high SCE frequencies were observed after UV irradiation. Cells from a patient with the De Sanctis-Cacchione syndrome were the most sensitive to UV in terms of both SCE induction and cell killing. In 2 of 4 UDS-proficient XP cell lines tested, the incidences of UV-induced SCEs were similar to those in normal cell lines, but in 2 other UDS-proficient lines from 2 XP patients with skin cancer, the frequencies of UV-induced SCEs were significantly higher than in normal cells.Continuous post-UV treatment with 1 mM caffeine markedly enhanced UV-induced SCEs in 3 of 4 UDS-proficient XP cell lines but had only slight effects on cells from the 4th UDS-proficient XP patient and from normal individuals. 相似文献

The clastogenicity/aneugenicity of N-heterocyclic polycyclic aromatic pollutant 7H-dibenzo[c,g]carbazole (DBC) and its two synthetic derivatives N-methyl DBC (MeDBC) and 5,9-dimethyl DBC (diMeDBC) was evaluated in the genetically engineered Chinese hamster V79 cell line V79MZh1A1 with stable expression of human cytochrome P4501A1 and in the parental V79MZ cell line without any cytochrome P450 activity. While none of the three carbazoles changed significantly the level of micronuclei in the parental V79MZ cells, a variable, but statistically significant rise of micronucleus frequencies was assessed in V79MZh1A1 cells. DBC induced dose-dependent increase in the number of micronuclei at harvest times of 24 and 48h and MeDBC at sampling time of 48h in V79MZh1A1 cells in comparison to untreated cells, however, no significant time-dependent increase in micronucleus frequencies was found. The use of the antikinetochore immunostaining revealed that DBC and MeDBC induced approximately equal levels of both kinetochore positive (C+) and kinetochore negative (C-) micronuclei. DiMeDBC, a strict hepatocarcinogen, did not manifest any effect on micronucleus induction in V79MZh1A1 cells.These studies suggest that genetically engineered Chinese hamster V79 cell lines expressing individual CYP cDNAs are a useful in vitro model for evaluation the role of particular cytochromes P450 in biotransformation of DBC and its tissue and organ specific derivatives. 相似文献

When the Chinese hamster cell line V79 and the tester strain of Salmonella typhimurium TA100 were treated with the precarcinogens dimethylnitrosamine (DMN) or diethylnitrosamine (DEN) in the presence of S9 mix, a dose-dependent increase of sister-chromatid exchanges (SCE) in V79 cells and His+ revertants in TA100 resulted. DMN was a far more efficient SCE inducer than DEN, while DEN was a more efficient inducer of His+ revertants than DMN. Retinol (Rol) effectively inhibited DMN and DEN induced SCE in V79 cells and His+ revertants in TA100. Concurrent treatment of V79 cells with Rol at various doses and one dose of DMN or DEN in the presence of S9 mix caused a significant reduction of SCE as compared to SCE induced by DMN or DEN without Rol. Rol inhibition of DMN-induced SCE was dose-dependent. Rol was less efficient in inhibiting DEN-induced SCE, and no consistent dose-dependent inhibition was observed. At all doses, Rol significantly inhibited DMN and DEN induced mutation frequencies in TA100. At the highest dose of Rol (40 micrograms/plate), the inhibition of DMN and DEN induced His+ revertants reached about 90% and 60%, respectively. The possibility that Rol exerts its antimutagenic activities by inhibiting certain forms of the cytochrome P-450 isoenzymes required for activation of precarcinogens such as DMN and DEN is discussed. 相似文献

Chinese hamster V79 cells were pulse-treated (for 60 min) with various mutagens three, two or one cell cycles before fixation (treatment variants A, B and C, respectively) and the frequencies of induced SCEs were analysed and compared. The degree of increase in frequency of SCEs with dose in the treatment variants depended on the mutagen used. For the methylating agents MNU, MNNG and DMPNU, high yields of SCEs were obtained in the treatment variants A and B, and there was no difference in the efficiency with which these agents induced SCEs in these treatment variants. In the treatment variant C, however, no SCEs were induced with mutagen doses yielding a linear increase in SCE frequency in treatment variants A and B. A slight increase in SCE frequency in treatment variant C was observed only when relatively high doses of MNU or MNNG were applied. Like the above agents, EMS, ENU and MMS induced more SCEs in treatment variants A and B than in C, but for these agents treatment variant B was most effective and SCEs were induced over the entire dose range, also in treatment variant C. As opposed to the methylating and ethylating agents, MMC induced SCEs with high efficiency when treatment occurred one or two generations prior to fixation. There was no difference in SCE frequency between these treatment variants. MMC was completely ineffective for the induction of SCEs when treatment occurred three generations before fixation. The unexpectedly low SCE frequencies induced by the methylating and ethylating agents when treatment occurred one generation before fixation were not due to the exposure of cells to BrdU prior to mutagen treatment. From the results obtained, it is concluded that DNA methylation and ethylation lesions give rise to SCEs only with very low probability during the replication cycle after the lesion's induction, and that subsequent lesions produced during or after replication of the methylated or ethylated template (secondary lesions) are of prime importance for SCE formation after alkylation. For MMC, however, primary lesions seem to be most important for SCE induction. 相似文献

The Brd-U differential staining technique was utilized to examine the induction of sister-chromatid exchanges (SCE) by fluorescent ligt in human fetal lung fibroblasts (IMR-90). Exposure of these cells in media to fluorescent light resulted in an increase in SCE frequencies from a background level of 8.5 SCE/cell to 20.5 SCE/cell. Cellular replication kinetics were also inhibited by fluorescent light exposure. Exposure of cells to fluorescent light in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) resulted in a two-fold increase in SCE levels and incresed inhibition of cell replication, indicating that culture media may have a protective effect. Determinations of SCE frequencies with blocking filters indicated that the fluorescent light wavelengths responsible for SCE induction were in the near-ultraviolet spectrum between 300 and 390 nm. Culturing cell sin media that had been exposed to fluorescent light resulted in a significant increase in SCE levels, 14.5 ± 1.5 vs. 7.5 ± 0.65, demonstrating the contribution of media photoproducts to SCE induction. The role of media photoproducts was further reinforced by finding a significant decline in fluorescent light induced SCE in cells cultured in medium deficient in three known photosensitizers (phenol red, tetracycline and riboflavin) for 2–3 weeks prior to exposure.Since SCE have been shown to be a sensitive indicator of DNA damage, these results indicate that fluorescent light can induce genetic damage in human cells. These findings are also of importance to investigators culturing cells in laboratories with fluorescent illumination. 相似文献

In contrast with earlier report on the induction of sister-chromatid exchanges (SCEs) by SH compounds in cell lines of the Chinese hamster, cysteine, cysteamine and cystamine did not cause an increase of the SCE frequency in human lymphocyte cultures. Differences in the treatment protocols or variations of the Brd Urd concentration had no effect on the induction of SCEs by these substances. The inclusion of H2O2 and comparative investigations with V79 cells of the Chinese hamster showed that the probable reason for the SCE induction by SH compounds is the inability of the cells to degrade H2O2.Furthermore, for cystamine it became clear that additional effects must exist besides the induction of SCEs through H2O2.The present study underlines the fact that the examination of a substance within one cell system does not necessarily permit a reliable statement about the DNA-damaging property of this substance. 相似文献
