香烟烟雾水溶液中的活性氧及其对姊妹染色单体互换的影响

SCE频率分析是研究环境诱变剂和致癌剂引起人类遗传物质损伤的有效手段。以人类外周血林巴细胞姊妹染色单体交换（SCE）为指标,评价了香烟烟雾水溶液的遗传毒性。首先,定量测定了香烟烟雾水溶液中含有H2O2、O2-等活性氧,从而间接证明了其潜在的遗传毒性。然后,将一定量的香烟烟雾水溶液加入人外周血淋巴细胞培养液中,结果表明实验组SCE频率明显高于空白对照组,因此直接证明了香烟烟雾水溶液的遗传毒性。     

黄鳝染色体体内SCE检测系统的建立

应用IdU-毛玉米油体内SCE技术,以不同剂量的典型诱变剂MMC和CP对70尾黄鳝的脾、肾、血淋巴细胞进行了体内诱发SCE敏感性测试。结果:三种细胞的染色体SCE自发频率均较低,不同剂量MMC和CP诱发黄鳝三种细胞SCE频率均较对照组显著增加。诱变剂剂量与诱发SCE频率呈线性关系。三种细胞染色体SCE对MMC和CP的敏感性次序为肾>脾>血淋巴细胞。与几种鱼和其它动物比较,黄鳝三种细胞的SCE自发频率均较低,对MMC和CP诱发SCE的敏感性均较高,因此认为黄鳝可作为较理想的体内SCE检测系统。

本文确立了一个以草鱼体内肾细胞姐妹染色单体交换频率为指标的检测环境诱变或致癌物质的短期试验系统。采用硫堇-UV-Giemsa染色法,分析了草鱼体内肾细胞的SCD-2(注射BrdU后第二个细胞周期的中期分裂相的SCD)频率和SCE频率。用500微克/克体重BrdU体内标记5天,草鱼肾细胞SCD-2频率为8.58±0.22%;SCE频率为3.05±2.523 SCE_5/细胞。以丝裂霉素C(Mitomycin C,MMC)作为阳性对照,分析了化合物亚硝基胍(N-methyl-N~1-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine,MNNG)和农药叶蝉散(Mipc)诱发SCE的能力。这项工作在评价水质污染方面将起一定的作用。     

姐妹染色单体交换(SCE)的检测原理及其分子机理

姐妹染色单体交换(sister-chromatid exchange,SCE)是当前生物学研究的热点之一。SCE检测技术已广泛地应用于环境科学、医学、生物学等研究领域,具有重要的意义。环境胁迫会造成细胞内DNA不同程度的损伤,并可能进一步导致染色体畸变,甚至引发癌变。SCE作为一种灵敏而有效的指标,能够反映DNA损伤程度和遗传不稳定性。本文主要介绍了有关SCE的由来,色差显示原理、分子机理、SCE与染色体畸变的关系以及SCE的诱导因子。文章最后还对今后有关SCE的研究及其应用提出一些新的看法。

用BrdU标记,改良的FPG法染色,建立了一种植物愈伤组织细胞姐妹染色单体分染的方法。并对培养基的不同附加成分对SCE的影响进行了研究。所有培养基上愈伤组织细胞的SCE率都显著高于正常根尖分生组织细胞。6-BA,AgNO_3,高浓度的2,4-D,蔗糖均可诱发SCE。     

限制性内切酶诱发的姊妹染色单体互换

用限制性内切酶PstⅠ,SalⅠ,PvuⅡ和BamHⅠ处理CHO细胞后,发现其SCE率升高,与对照相比,前三种酶具有显著性差异。但这些酶诱导SCE的效应与其致染色体畸变效应相比则较弱,提示引起DNA双链断裂的限制性内切酶不是SCE的强刺激物。实验结果表明,BrdU取代胸苷不能消除限制酶对底物DNA的识别及裂解。     

Three-Way Differentiation of Chinese Hamster Ovary Chromosomes by Immunoperoxidase Technique Using a Monoclonal Anti-Bromodeoxyuridine Antibody

A new permanent staining procedure for sister chromatid differentiation (SCD) in cultured Chinese hamster ovary cells has been established by combining the three-way differentiation in third mitosis (M3) chromosomes and the immunoperoxidase reaction developed with 3,3'-diaminobenzidine using a monoclonal anti-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) antibody. This procedure allows SCD at very low BrdU concentrations, and the evaluation of the sister chromatid exchange frequencies on a per cell-cycle basis.     

Stains recently certified

For staining in toto, planarians are fixed in a mixture of 10 ml of commercial formalin, 45 ml of 95% ethanol and 2 ml of glacial acetic acid. After treatment with 70% ethanol 3-10 days, they are washed in distilled water and immersed in 10% CuSO₄. 5H₂O for 3 hr at 50° C, transferred without washing to 1% AgNO₃ for 1.0-1.5 hr at 50° C; and then developed in: 10 ml of 1% pyrogallol, 100 ml of 56% ethanol and 1 ml of 0.2% nitric acid. Gold toning, 5% Na₂S₂O₃ and dehydration follow as usual. For staining sections, material is fixed in the same fixative, embedded in paraffin and sectioned at 10 μ. After bringing sections to water, they are immersed in 20% CuSO₄. 5H₂O for 48 hr at 37° C; then rinsed briefly in distilled water and placed in 7% AgNO₃ for 24 hr at 37° C. They are washed briefly in distilled water and reduced in: hydroquincne, 1 gm; Na₂SO₃, 5 gm and distilled water 100 ml. Gold toning, followed by 5% Na₂S₂O₃ and dehydration completes the process. Any counterstaining may follow.     

Increased frequency of sister chromatid exchanges in peripheral lymphocytes of alcoholics and cigarette smokers

Sister chromatid exchange (SCE) is a sensitive indicator of genotoxicity. In this study we investigated the effects of alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking on the frequency of SCE in cultures of peripheral lymphocytes. The rate was higher in alcoholics who smoked (10.89+/-2.46) and in smokers (positive controls) (7.64+/-1.01) than in healthy non-smokers (negative controls) (6.96+/-2.18). Statistical analysis suggested that the increases were related to alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking (p<0.05).     

Effect of sodium selenite and methyl methanesulfonate or N-hydroxy-2-acetylaminofluorene co-exposure on sister-chromatid exchange production in human whole blood cultures

Sodium selenite (Na₂Se0₃) was tested for its sister-chromatid exchange (SCE)-inducing ability in human whole blood cultures and for the effect of its co-exposure with methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) or N-hydroxy-2-acetyl aminofluorene (N-OH-AAF) on SCE frequency. Long exposure times (77 h and 96 h) to 3.95 × 10^-6 M Na₂SeO₃ resulted in cell death as measured by mitotic indices, but mitotic figures were present after exposure to higher concentrations for a shorter time (19 h). High Na₂SeO₃ concentrations (7.90 × 10^?6 and 1.19 × 10^?5 M) resulted in a three-fold increase in the SCE frequency above background level (6–7 SCEs/cell). Exposure of lymphocytes to 1 × 10^?4 M MMS for the last 19 h of culture yielded an average SCE frequency of 30.17 ± 0.75 while a similar exposure to 2.7 × 10^?5 M N-OH-AAF resulted in 13.61 ± 0.43 SCEs/cell. Simultaneous addition of the high Na₂Se0₃ concentrations and MMS or N-OH-AAF to the cultures resulted in SCE frequencies that were 25–30% and 11–17%, respectively, below the sum of the SCE frequencies produced by the individual compounds.

Long exposure times (77 h and 96 h) to 3.95 X 10(-6) M Na2SeO3 resulted in cell death as measured by mitotic indices, but mitotic figures were present after exposure to higher concentrations for a shorter time (19 h). High Na2SeO3 concentrations (7.90 X 10(-6) and 1.19 X 10(-5) M) resulted in a three-fold increase in the SCE frequency above background level (6--7 SCEs/cell). Exposure of lymphocytes to 1 X 10(-4) M MMS for the last 19 h of culture yielded an average SCE frequency of 30.17 +/- 0.75 while a similar exposure to 2.7 X 10(-5) M N-OH-AAF resulted in 13.61 +/- 0.43 SCEs/cell.

Assessment of the genotoxicity of imidacloprid and metalaxyl in cultured human lymphocytes and rat bone-marrow

Imidacloprid and metalaxyl are two pesticides that are widely used in agriculture, either separately, or in combination. These agents were studied for their possible genotoxic effects with respect to the following cytogenetic end-points: (1) in vitro micronucleus (MN) formation and sister-chromatid exchange (SCE) induction in human lymphocytes and (2) in vivo micronucleus induction in polychromatic erythrocytes (PCEs) of the rat bone-marrow. The results of the MN analysis indicate that MN frequencies after treatment with both pesticides, separately or as a mixture, do not significantly differ from those in the controls except after treatment with metalaxyl alone at 50 μg/ml (p < 0.05). The results of the SCE analysis show that SCE frequencies after treatment with imidacloprid do not differ significantly from those in the controls. A statistically significant increase (p < 0.05) in SCE frequency resulted from treatments with metalaxyl at 5, 10 and 100 μg/ml and with the combination of imidacloprid and metalaxyl at 100 and 200 μg/ml. Finally, the in vivo micronucleus assay with rat bone-marrow polychromatic erythrocytes showed a statistically significant effect upon separate treatments with imidacloprid and metalaxyl at doses of 300 mg/kg body weight (b.w.) (p < 0.01) or upon combined treatment with 200 mg/Kg b.w. (p < 0.001) and 400 mg/kg b.w. (p < 0.05).
