The chromosomal sensitivity to mitomycin-C (MMC) and cell-cycle kinetics in cells from patients with Klinefelter syndrome, a sex chromosomal disorder giving a high risk of malignant tumor, were studied by techniques of sister-chromatid exchanges (SCEs). The frequencies of MMC-induced SCEs increased in proportion to the increase in MMC concentration in both patient and normal control cells. At low levels of MMC there were no significant differences in SCE frequencies between the patient and normal control cells, but at MMC concentrations of 3 X 10(-8) M (p less than 0.05) and 1 X 10(-7) M (p less than 0.01), significant increases in the frequency of MMC-induced SCEs were observed in cells from patients compared to cells from normal controls. Although the analysis of cell-cycle kinetics both after various culture times and after treatment with MMC revealed that there were no significant differences between the patient and normal control cells, patients with Klinefelter syndrome showed a tendency to cell-cycle delays after treatment with MMC in comparison with normal controls. 相似文献

Summary The frequency of sister chromatid exchange (SCE) was investigated in 13 women with cervical cancer together with 11 control women. The SCE frequencies were found to be 10.05±2.35 and 6.95±1.53 in cancer cases and controls, respectively. The SCE values of cancer cases deviate significantly from that of controls. The SCE in chromosome groups E, F, and G was found to be more in comparison to controls (P<0.001). This preliminary study indicates the possibility of using SCE as a preclinical marker. 相似文献

Culture of cells in high exogenous levels (>10–4 M) of bromodeoxyuridine (BrdUrd) or thymidine will increase the baseline sister chromatid exchange (SCE) frequency. The effect is thought to be related to the balance of the DNA precursors thymidine and deoxycytidine. Exogenous addition of deoxycytidine will reverse this effect. Single and twin SCEs were analysed in Colcemid-induced tetraploid Chinese hamster ovary cells exposed to different concentrations of BrdUrd to determine at what stage SCEs are induced by high levels of BrdUrd. In cells exposed to low concentrations of BrdUrd (10–5 M), equal numbers of SCEs were induced in each of the two cell cycles. With increasing concentrations of BrdUrd (10–4 to 2×10–4 M), SCE frequency increased in both cell cycles, but far more SCEs were induced in the second cell cycle. Deoxycytidine (2×10–4 M) reduced the frequency of SCEs primarily by reducing the frequency of SCEs induced in the second cell cycle. Treatment with 3-aminobenzamide (3AB), a potent inhibitor of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, produced effects similar to exposure to high levels of BrdUrd including inducing SCEs in the second replication cycle. This suggests a similar mechanism of action. Deoxycytidine had no effect on 3AB-induced SCEs, however, and there was no interaction between 3AB and high exogenous levels of BrdUrd in SCE induction. Thus these two agents probably act through different mechanisms. 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 frequencies of sister-chromatid exchanges (SCE) were studied in patients with cancer of the cervix uteri and normal controls at 37 degrees C and 40 degrees C. At 37 degrees C the mean frequency of SCE was found to be 8.26 +/- 1.91 in untreated patients with cervical cancer and 7.91 +/- 1.68 in cancer patients treated with radiotherapy; these values were significantly higher than the control value of 5.34 +/- 1.28 exchanges. Increase of the growth temperature to 40 degrees C elevated the SCE frequency to 11.95 +/- 2.12 in patients without radiotherapy treatment, 13.37 +/- 2.17 in patients with radiotherapy treatment and 7.82 +/- 1.84 in normal controls. These data indicate that there is a differential induction of SCEs by hyperthermia in the lymphocytes of control women and patients with cancer of the cervix uteri. 相似文献

Various carcinogens were tested with regard to the induction of sister-chromatid exchanges (SCEs) and chromosome aberrations using 3 types of Bloom syndrome (BS) B-lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) (type I with normal frequency of SCEs and normal karyotype; type II with high frequency of SCEs and normal karyotype; type III with high frequency of SCEs and abnormal karyotypes) in the presence and absence of S9 mix. Three types of BS B-LCLs and normal cells showed different responses to the various carcinogens in the level of SCE induction. BS type I cells had the same SCE response as normal cells to carcinogens. Some carcinogens that require metabolic activation (S9 mix) had little effect on type II cells without S9 mix but had high SCE levels with S9 mix. BS type III cells were highly susceptible to both direct and indirect carcinogens with respect to high SCE increase without S9 mix (ca. 140 SCEs/cell), though some carcinogens produced SCEs rated in the medium (ca. 120 SCEs/cell) range, and had a high rate (more than 10%) of centromere spreading (CS), in addition to quadriradials. Therefore BS type III is a unique cell line which can be used to detect carcinogens. 相似文献

Following acute and chronic exposures to various chemicals in vivo, the average SCE frequency in human and rabbit lymphocytes has generally been shown to decrease with time posttreatment. The rate of this decline varies, however, and little data have been published pertaining to the decrease in SCEs soon exposure. To gain more information about the immediate decline in SCEs with time, we injected rabbits with a single dose of 35 mg/kg cyclophosphamide (CP) and determined SCE levels in circulating lymphocytes at various times 5 h to 2 weeks after treatment. We observed a rapid decline in SCE frequencies within 5 days, and by 10 days post-exposure the SCE levels were back to control values. The distributions of SCEs among cells and the number of circulating lymphocytes were also analyzed at each time. Within 2–3 days posttreatment we observed a rapid loss of cells with high SCE levels concomitantly with a rapid decline in circulating lymphocytes and a decrease in the average SCE frequency. When the number of lymphocytes began to increase, the number of cells with normal SCE values also increased. By 10–11 days after CP, the lymphocyte count had recovered, the SCE frequency had returned to control levels, and the distribution of SCEs among cells was almost identical to the control distribution. These data, in addition to published information on rabbit lymphocyte lifespan, suggest that the decline in SCE levels with time posttreatment is a function of lymphocyte turnover. 相似文献

To determine the mutual relationships between cell survival and induction of sister-chromatid exchanges (SCEs) as well as chromosomal aberrations (CAs), mutagen-induced SCEs and CAs were analyzed in an ionizing radiation-sensitive mutant (M10) and an alkylating agent-sensitive mutant (MS 1) isolated from mouse lymphoma L5178Y cells. The levels of CA induction in both mutants strictly corresponded to the sensitivity to lethal effects of mutagens, except that caffeine-induced CAs in M10 are considerably lower than those in L5178Y. The results clearly indicate that except for caffeine-induced CAs in M10, mutagen-induced lethal lesions are responsible for CA induction. In contrast, SCE induction in mutants was complicated. In M10, hypersensitive to killing by gamma-rays, methyl methanesulfonate (MMS), and 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide (4NQO), but not sensitive to UV or caffeine, the frequency of SCEs induced by gamma-rays was barely higher than that in L5178Y, and the frequencies of MMS- and UV-induced SCEs were similar to those in L5178Y, but 4NQO- and caffeine-induced SCEs were markedly lower than those in L5178Y. MS 1, which is hypersensitive to MMS and caffeine, but not sensitive to UV or 4NQO, responded to caffeine with an enhanced frequency of SCEs and had a normal frequency of MMS-induced SCEs, but a reduced frequency of UV- and 4NQO-induced SCEs. Thus, susceptibility to SCE induction by mutagens is not necessarily correlated with sensitivity of mutants to cell killing and/or CA induction by mutagens. Furthermore, the spontaneous levels of SCEs are lower in M10 and higher in MS 1 than that in L5178Y (Tsuji et al., 1987). Based on these results, we speculate that M10 may be partially defective in the processes for the formation of SCEs caused by mutagens. On the other hand, MS 1 may modify SCE formation-related lesions induced by UV and 4NQO to some repair intermediates that do not cause SCE formation. In addition, MMS-induced lethal lesions in MS 1 may not be responsible for SCE induction whereas caffeine-induced lethal lesions are closely correlated with SCE induction. Thus, the lesions or mechanisms involved in SCE production are in part different from those responsible for cell lethality or CA production. 相似文献

Summary Sister chromatid exchange (SCE) frequencies were studied in differentially stained lymphocytes from 47 patients with malignant lymphoma. Thirteen patients were untreated when studied. The mean SCE frequency [±standard error (SE)] for these patients was 12.7±0.9 per mitosis. The mean score for 40 controls was 6.1±0.3. SCE mean scores were significantly higher in the untreated patients than in the controls (P<0.001). Seven patients were treated with radiotherapy alone. They demonstrated a mean SCE frequency (8.8±0.8) significantly lower (P<0.01) than that found in untreated patients. Eleven patients received cyclophosphamide within 4 weeks prior to study. They demonstrated a mean SCE frequency (14.3±1.3) significantly higher (P<0.05) than that found in patients who had received regimens that did not contain cyclophosphamide in the prior 4 weeks (11.1±1.3) or who had been off drugs for at least 8 weeks (10.1±0.8). Our data suggest that untreated patients with malignant lymphoma have elevated SCE frequencies, which may be further increased by certain chemotherapeutic agents. 相似文献

We evaluated the genotoxic risk of workers from textile dyeing plants in Kahramanmaras, Turkey. Sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) and chromosomal aberrations (CAs) were investigated in peripheral blood lymphocyte cultures of 40 workers and compared to those of 32 age-sex- and habit-matched healthy controls. Groups were selected after a questionnaire administration. Use of Maras powder (a kind of smokeless tobacco) was considered as modulating factor. The SCEs level did not show significant differences between workers and controls. The frequency of CA was significantly higher in workers than in controls. Use of Maras powder was a significant factor to increase the frequencies of SCE and CA in control group. The level of SCE and CA did not correlate with the age whereas there was a significant correlation between years of exposure and CA frequency. The results of this study revealed the genotoxic risk of textile dyers. Protective measures such as masks and gloves are desirable for preventing or minimizing the occupational exposure. 相似文献

Here we aimed to first investigate the clinical value of combined detection of MG7‐Ag and COX‐2 (cyclo‐oxygenase 2) in prediction of advances in gastric precancerous lesions. Immunohistochemical analysis was used to examine the expression of MG7‐Ag and COX‐2 in 396 cases of patients with gastric precancerous lesions, including 66 cases of atrophic gastritis, 106 cases of intestinal metaplasia, 174 cases of low‐moderate‐grade dysplasia and 50 cases of high‐grade dysplasia. The relation of MG7‐Ag and COX‐2 staining with various clinicopathological features was analysed by follow‐up study. The positive rates of MG7‐Ag and COX‐2 were increased gradually from atrophic gastritis (21.2%, 28.8%), intestinal metaplasia (36.8%, 44.3%), low‐moderate‐grade dysplasia (51.4%, 58.6%) to high‐grade dysplasia (72%, 80%). Double positive staining of MG7‐Ag and COX‐2 in gastric precancerous lesions had an increased risk of precancerous progression over 22 times, compared with negative ones. However, the expression of MG7‐Ag and COX‐2 was not significantly correlated with age and gender of patients. MG7‐Ag and COX‐2 might play an important role in the process of carcinogenesis and progression of gastric cancer. Combined detection of MG7‐Ag and COX‐2 was of value of predicting early gastric cancer from precancerous lesions. 相似文献

42 Seventh-Day Adventists (SDAs) and 42 controls matched for sex, age and occupation had their sister-chromatid exchange (SCE) examined in peripheral blood lymphocytes. This was done to examine if the SCE frequency was lower in this group of people, who are known to have a decreased cancer risk compared to the general population. The average SCE/cell in 30 cells from each person was 5.54 +/- 0.07 (mean +/- standard error of the mean) for the SDAs and 8.00 +/- 0.15 for the controls, the difference being statistically significant (p less than 0.00001). No difference in SCE frequency was found between SDAs eating only an ovo-lacto-vegetarian diet and those eating some fish or meat. The mitotic index (MI) was significantly higher and the replication index (RI) was significantly lower in SDAs than in controls. No correlation was found between gamma (a statistical transformation of SCEs/cell) and MI or RI within the groups of SDAs or controls. In the pooled data there was a negative correlation of gamma and MI and a positive correlation of gamma and RI. Of the interpersonal variation in gamma 8% and 14% could be explained by MI and RI. The finding of a lower SCE frequency in a group of SDAs who have a low risk of cancer might indirectly indicate a relation between SCE and cancer and encourages further studies of SCE and diet. 相似文献

Summary Sister chromatid exchange (SCE) frequencies were studied in peripheral lymphocytes from 16 patients with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) prior to the initiation of chemotherapy. The mean SCE frequency (
±SE) for these patients was 12.2±0.2 per metaphase, which was significantly higher (P(0.001) than the mean SCE score for 14 agematched controls, 7.6±0.2. Five of these patients were studied again while they were receiving maintenance therapy consisting primarily of daily 6-mercaptopurine and weekly methotrexate. Their remission SCE levels remained significantly higher than controls (P(0.005). In addition, SCE levels were studied in 7 long-term survivors of ALL. Three of these patients had been receiving continuous maintenance therapy for at least 3 years. Their mean SCE scores were significantly greater than controls (P(0.005). The other 4 patients had finished their final course of chemotherapy at least 8 months prior to the time of sampling, and their mean SCE scores were not significantly different from controls (P>0.10). These data indicate that untreated patients with ALL have increased SCE levels which remain elevated during periods of remission maintained with chemotherapy. However, longterm survivors of ALL who are in remission and off chemotherapy do not demonstrate significantly increased SCE frequencies. 相似文献

In a search for cell mutants that show an increase or a decrease in the frequency of baseline sister-chromatid exchanges (SCEs) or spontaneous chromosomal aberrations (CAs), large numbers of mutagen-sensitive clones previously isolated from mouse lymphoma L5178Y cells were analyzed. In addition to two SCE mutants (ES 4 and AC 12) previously reported, three other mutants were identified as an SCE mutant. An ethyl methanesulfonate-sensitive mutant ES 2 and an alkylating agent-sensitive mutant MS 1 exhibited, respectively, 1.4-fold and 1.8-fold higher baseline SCE frequencies than did the parental L5178Y. In contrast, M10, which is sensitive to X-ray and 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide, showed a reduced frequency of baseline SCEs (0.65-fold). These 5 mutants including ES 4 and AC 12 had 3--9-fold increases in spontaneous CA frequencies. Measurement of baseline SCE formation in inter-mutant hybrids revealed that M10 mutation is dominant, MS 1 and ES 4 mutations are semidominant, and ES 2 and AC 12 mutations are recessive. Because SCE frequencies in hybrids formed between pairs of 4 mutants (ES 2, MS 1, ES 4 and AC 12) were significantly lower than those in the tetraploid mutant cells, these 4 mutants probably belong to different complementation groups. Since M10 behaved dominantly with respect to SCE phenotype, it was not possible to determine by complementation test whether it belongs to a different group from the other mutants. However, the finding that M10 is complemented by other mutants for EMS sensitivity indicates that the M10 mutation is different from the other mutations. From these results, it is concluded that at least 4 different genes participate in the formation of high levels of baseline SCEs. The defects in ES 2, MS 1, ES 4, and AC 12 produce common lesions responsible for the formation of both SCEs and CAs. In contrast, the defect in M10 is associated with a high increase in spontaneous CA frequency, but conversely associated with a decrease in baseline SCE frequency. This suggests that M10 is defective in the process involved in the formation of baseline SCEs. 相似文献

Two aphidicolin-resistant cell mutants (AC 12 and AC 41) with a fourfold increase in spontaneous frequency of sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) were obtained out of over 400 aphidicolin-resistant mutants isolated from mouse lymphoma L5178Y cells. They also exhibited three- to fourfold increases in spontaneous frequency of chromosome aberrations (CAs). To determine whether the high level of SCE frequency in AC 12 is caused by 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdUrd) used for visualizing SCEs, the effect of BrdUrd incorporated into DNA on SCE induction was analyzed. The SCE frequencies in AC 12 remained constant at BrdUrd incorporation levels corresponding to 2-90% substitution for thymidine in DNA. In addition, the small amount of BrdUrd incorporated into both daughter and parenteral DNA strands in AC 12 had minimal effect on SCE induction. Furthermore, AC 12 and AC 41 were slightly resistant to BrdUrd with respect to the induction of CAs, the inhibition of cell-cycle progression and the decrease in mitotic activity. These findings suggest that the high incidence of SCEs in AC 12 and AC 41 is formed by their intrinsic defects, not by the effects of BrdUrd used. The analysis of SCE frequencies in hybrid cells between these mutants and the parental L5178Y revealed that the genetic defects in AC 12 and AC 41 appear to be recessive, and that these two mutants belong to the same complementation group. Furthermore, AC 12 belonged to a different complementation group from ES 4, which was isolated previously from L5178Y as an SCE mutant with a twofold higher frequency of spontaneous SCEs. This finding indicates that at least two different genetic defects participate in the formation of the high incidence of spontaneous SCEs in mouse cells. These SCE mutants would provide valuable cell materials for studying the molecular mechanism of SCE formation. 相似文献

Disparate effects of 5-bromodeoxyuridine on sister-chromatid exchanges and chromosomal aberrations in Bloom syndrome fibroblasts 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The existence of a high frequency of spontaneous sister-chromatid exchanges (SCEs) in Bloom syndrome (BS) has thus far been supported by data on a small number of BS cell lines. To examine the cause of baseline SCEs more broadly, the frequencies of SCEs, as well as chromosomal aberrations (CAs) in 4 additional BS fibroblast strains were compared, under different assay and cell culture conditions, with those of normal cells in the range of approximately 0.9-90% 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdUrd) substitution into template DNA. SCEs at low levels of BrdUrd substitution were detected by an extremely sensitive immunofluorescent technique. From approximately 0.9% to 4.5% BrdUrd substitution, the SCE frequency in BS cells remained constant, at a level (40/cell) 8 times higher than that of normal cells. As BrdUrd substitution increased further, the SCE frequency in BS cells increased almost linearly, reaching 70-100 per cell at approximately 90% substitution, while the SCE increment in control fibroblasts was less than 5 per cell. Analysis of SCEs in 3 successive replication cycles similarly revealed that the SCE increment in BS cells depended on BrdUrd only at a high BrdUrd substitution level. In contrast to data on SCEs, CA induction by incorporated BrdUrd in BS cells was only slightly higher than that in normal cells. Thus, BS cells are extremely sensitive to BrdUrd for SCE induction, but much less so for CA induction. 相似文献

Ataxia telangiectasia: the effects of chemical mutagens and x-rays on sister chromatid exchanges in blood lymphocytes 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
S M Galloway 《Mutation research》1977,45(3):343-349
It is now possible to examine in detail exchanges between sister chromatids (SCEs) and to attempt to investigate the relationships of such exchanges to aberration formation and DNA-repair mechanisms. The frequency of SCEs is dramatically increased by chemical mutagens and may reflect the level of DNA damage. Lymphocytes from patients with ataxia telangiectasis (AT) show high levels of spontaneous chromosome damage and are hypersentive to ionising radiations and it was of interest to examine the levels of SCE induced in these cells by various mutagens. The frequencies of SCE after treatment with X=rays or three chemical mutagens were equivalent to those in normal cells. The effects of fluorodeoxyuridine and deoxycytidine on SCE frequencies were also tested. 相似文献

Sister-chromatid exchange (SCE) frequency has been studied from peripheral blood lymphocyte cultures of 21 patients with epilepsy on sodium valproate, 20 patients who had not started therapy (untreated) and 20 normal healthy controls. Treated and untreated patients with epilepsy were observed to have higher SCE frequencies (mean 9.05 and 9.82 respectively) than healthy controls (mean 4.8; P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in SCE frequency between treated and untreated patients. This suggests that the disease itself may be associated with an increased frequency of SCEs. 相似文献

Summary The frequency of sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) was studied in cells from three freshly established lymphoma lines, derived from two patients with Hodgkin's disease and one patient with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. These values were compared to SCE rates found in cells from two long-established lymphoma lines (Raji and BJAB) and to those recorded in control cell lines of normal human donors. The highest SCE levels were demonstrated in the freshly established lymphoma lines, the lowest SCE values separated the lymphoblastoid cell lines from healthy controls, and the older lymphoma lines Raji and BJAB presented rates in between. The influences of BUDR concentration and of the duration of BUDR treatment on the frequency of SCEs were tested. Furthermore, the dependence of the SCE rate on the time interval between establishment of the cell line and its SCE investigation was considered. The connection between elevated SCE rates and the neoplastic nature of lymphoma lines is discussed. 相似文献
