Repair of mitomycin C damage to DNA in mammalian cells and its impairment in Fanconi's anemia cells.
Repair of DNA cross-links by mitomycin C (MMC) was studied in mammalian cells. Skin cells from a patient with Fanconi's anemia (FA9 cells) were about 6 times as sensitive to MMC killing as HeLa S3 cells with normal excision repair ability, while excision-reduced mouse L and human xeroderma pigmentosum (XP2OS) cells were more resistant to it than HeLa S3 cells. Alkaline sucrose sedimentation of DNA revealed that perhaps half-excision of cross-links and its repair occurred efficiently until 4 h of post-MMC time in L-cells and, though more slowly, in HeLa S3 cells. Thus, the excision repair pathway is the first step of the cross-link repair in mammalian cells, but it seems different from the -dependent pathway in , since XP2OS cells survived MMC almost normally. Contrarily, FA9 DNA sedimented much faster at 4 h of post-MMC time, suggesting a possible impairment in FA cell's ability to unhook cross-links. 相似文献

Crosslink repair of mitomycin C-induced interstrand crosslinks was studied in exponentially growing and confluent normal human, transformed WI38CT-1, Fanconi's anemia (FA) and xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) group-A fibroblasts by the assay methods of alkaline sucrose centrifugation, hydroxyapatite column chromatography and S1-nuclease digestion. These three methods demonstrated unequivocally that crosslinking occurred at a rate of 0.13 crosslinks/108 Da per μg per ml mitomycin C ( 10 μg/ml) and the first half-excision of crosslinks followed the rapid first-order kinetics of 2–3 h half-life in exponentially-growing normal, WI38CT-1 and XP group-A cells. However, the first half-excision was completely defective in three out of the four FA strains tested and severely retarded in an FA strain. These results strongly support our previous observations in different strains of normal human, FA and XP group-A cells. An important new addition is that confluent, otherwise proficient, normal and XP cells almost completely lost the ability of the first, rapid half-excision of mitomycin C crosslinks in their DNA. This probably suggests that the enzyme or regulatory factor responsible for the half-excision, which differs from that for nucleotide excision repair, present constitutively in confluent cells, may be induced or activated only in the cycling cells. However, its relation to a defective FA factor is not clear at present. 相似文献

Crosslink repair of mitomycin C-induced interstrand crosslinks was studied in exponentially growing and confluent normal human, transformed W138CT-1, Fanconi's anemia (FA) and xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) group-A fibroblasts by the assay methods of alkaline sucrose centrifugation, hydroxyapatite column chromatography and S1-nuclease digestion. These three methods demonstrated unequivocally that crosslinking occurred at a rate of 0.13 crosslinks/10(8) Da per microgram per ml mitomycin C (less than or equal to 10 micrograms/ml) and the first half-excision of crosslinks followed the rapid first-order kinetics of 2-3 h half-life in exponentially-growing normal, WI38CT-1 and XP group-A cells. However, the first half-excision was completely defective in three out of the four FA strains tested and severely retarded in an FA strain.

Proliferative kinetics and mitomycin C-induced chromosome damage in Fanconi's anemia lymphocytes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Lymphocytes from two sisters with Fanconi's anemia (FA) were studied for cell cycle kinetics, sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs), and chromosomal aberrations when they had undergone one, two, or three or more divisions in mitomycin C (MMC)-treated cultures. Lymphocytes from the parents, another sister of the probands, and a healthy unrelated adult were examined as controls. Analyses of cell cycle kinetics by the sister chromatid differential staining method revealed that the relative frequency of metaphase cells at their third or subsequent divisions was much smaller in untreated FA cultures than in normal cultures fixed at 96 h after phytohemagglutinin stimulation. These data indicate that FA cells proliferate much more slowly than normal cells. MMC treatments of FA and normal cells led to a clearly dose-related delay in cell turnover times, the duration of delay being much longer in FA than in normal cells. FA cells had about 1.4 times higher frequencies of SCEs than normal cells in both MMC-treated and untreated cultures. FA cells also showed several times higher frequencies of chromosomal aberrations than normal cells, and the frequency of chromosomal aberrations decreased through subsequent mitoses by approximately 60% in both FA and normal cells. 相似文献

Two complementation groups of Fanconi's anemia differ in their phenotypic response to a DNA-crosslinking treatment 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Summary The two genetic complementation groups reported for Fanconi's anemia (FA) correspond to two phenotypic classes as characterized by measurements of the rate of DNA semiconservative synthesis after 8-methoxypsoralen photo-addition. This test allows a rapid genetic classification of FA patients which appears to be a prerequisite for investigations of the biochemical defect(s) in FA. 相似文献

Repair analysis of mitomycin C-induced DNA crosslinking in ribosomal RNA genes in lymphoblastoid cells from Fanconi's anemia patients 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The repair of mitomycin C (MMC)-induced DNA crosslinking was analyzed by denaturation-renaturation gel electrophoresis in ribosomal RNA genes in lymphoblastoid cell lines from 4 patients with Fanconi's anemia (FA). In comparison to normal lymphoblastoid cell lines, 2 lines of FA cells belonging to complementation group A clearly exhibited higher sensitivity to MMC and an almost identical deficiency in the removal of DNA crosslinking. A complementation group B cell line, HSC 62, exhibited a lower sensitivity than group A cells and a lesser deficiency in crosslink repair. Another 'non-A' group cell line, HSC 230, reproducibly exhibited even higher sensitivity to MMC than group A cells. The results on MMC crosslinkage removal at the molecular level correlated well with cell survival. The observed subtle differences of repair among the 4 FA cell lines might represent possible genetic differences in the respective FA complementation groups. 相似文献

Studies of gene transfer and reversion to mitomycin C resistance in Fanconi anemia cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
As a first step to the cloning of the Fanconi anemia (FA) gene, we have attempted to correct the sensitivity of FA cells to DNA crosslinking agents by the introduction of wild-type DNA. The protocol involved the introduction of both genomic and pRSVneo DNA, selection for G418-resistant colonies and the subsequent selection of mitomycin C-resistant cells from the latter. Preliminary experiments indicated that untransformed FA cells were not suitable recipients for the introduction of foreign DNA, so all experiments were performed with an SV40-transformed FA cell line. Approximately 40,000 G418-resistant colonies were obtained in 5 separate experiments at an overall frequency of about 5 X 10(-4). These were then selected in mitomycin C and 15 colonies were recovered. Colonies were obtained with wild-type DNA (both human and rodent) and with FA DNA at about the same frequency of 2 X 10(-7). Colonies were isolated and shown to have a stable, partial (from 25 to 90% of wild-type) resistance to mitomycin C. One colony was also shown to be partially resistant to two other DNA crosslinking agents, diepoxybutane and nitrogen mustard. This clone also had an intermediate level of spontaneous and MMC-induced chromosome aberrations. pRSVneo, but not rodent, DNA could be demonstrated in the high molecular weight fraction of several colonies. Thus, it is likely that these colonies represent partial revertants rather than transfectants. These mitomycin C-resistant FA cells should be useful for the biochemical analysis of the FA mutation. 相似文献

The analysis of marine phytoplankton using flow cytometry has enabled the discovery of new taxa and has contributed new understanding to the dynamics and ecological contributions of phytoplankton to the global carbon cycle. Marine phytoplankton are uniquely suited to analysis by flow cytometry because of their size, pigment content, and ability to remain in suspension. Cytometric analysis of marine populations is not without challenges. Phytoplankton communities span a broad range of sizes. The smallest microbes are a few tenths of a micron, while the largest are a few tenths of a millimeter. The improvement of cytometric measurements of scattered laser light allows one to investigate marine microbes whose sizes span several orders of magnitude. To effectively leverage the advantages that marine microbes possess, cytometers have to be carefully engineered for marine use. 相似文献

Summary The rate of spontaneous chromosomal aberrations in fibroblasts of a patient with Fanconi's anemia was slightly reduced after cocultivation with Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. However, after mitomycin C treatment, a significant reduction of induced chromosomal damage was found in the FA cells while a significant increase was observed in the CHO cells. This antagonistic effect could be attributed to some diffusible agent(s). The results are discussed with respect to the underlying mechanism of the disease. 相似文献

On the localization of mitomycin C-induced aberrations in normal human and Fanconi's anaemia cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This paper summarizes the results of a series of experiments with primary cultures of normal human fibroblasts and lymphocytes designed to investigate chromatid aberration 'break-point' localization after a 1-h pulse of mitomycin C. For discontinuities and interchanges, 60-70% of the inferred 'break-points' were localized to defined paracentric heterochromatin and the centromeric regions (i.e. approximately 21% by length of the normal karyotype), irrespective of 'dose', aberration frequency, sample time or cycle sub-phase as determined by replication banding. Chromatid intrachanges are non-(or negatively) localized because of an inescapable scoring bias. SCE in fibroblasts show no such localization. Cells from a number of Fanconi's anaemia subjects were examined. In poorly growing cultures, localization was as high as in normal cells but in vigorous cultures localization was reduced to approximately 30%. It is suggested that the enhanced aberration sensitivity of this syndrome could arise because non-localized aberrations, usually eliminated before division in normal cells, are allowed to reach mitosis in FA cells. 相似文献

Fanconi's anemia (FA) patients face severe pathological consequences. Bone marrow failure, the major cause of death in FA, accounting for as much as 80-90% of FA mortality, appears to be significantly linked to excessive apoptosis of hematopoietic cells induced by oxidative stress. However, 20-25% of FA patients develop malignancies of myeloid origin. A survival strategy for bone marrow and hematopoietic cells under selective pressure evidently exists. This study reports that lymphoblastoid cell lines derived from two FA patients displayed significant resistance to oxidative stress induced by treatments with H(2) O(2) and various glutathione (GSH) inhibitors that induce production of reactive oxygen species, GSH depletion and mitochondrial membrane depolarization. Among the various GSH inhibitors employed, FA cells appear particularly resistant to menadione (5 μm) and ethacrynic acid (ETA, 50 μm), two drugs that specifically target mitochondria. Even after pre-treatment with buthionine sulfoximine, a GSH synthesis inhibitor that induces enhanced induction of reactive oxygen species, FA cells maintain significant resistance to these drugs. These data suggest that the resistance to oxidative stress and the altered mitochondrial and metabolic functionality found in the FA mutant cells used in this study may indicate the survival strategy that is adopted in FA cells undergoing transformation. The study of redox and mitochondria regulation in FA may be of assistance in diagnosis of the disease and in the care of patients. 相似文献

Genetic instability resulting from the disturbances in various mechanisms of DNA-repair is the characteristic feature of cancer cells. One of the possibilities to evaluate the effectiveness of DNA-repair system is the adaptive response (AR) analysis. The AR is a phenomenon by which cells exposed to low, non-genotoxic doses of a mutagen become significantly resistant to a subsequent higher dose of the same or another genotoxic agent. Generally, it is postulated that AR is related to a reduction of damage by the induction of free radical detoxification and/or DNA-repair systems.The existence of various DNA-repair mechanisms poses the question whether there are differences in AR induced by chemicals causing DNA-damage that requires different pathways for its repair. In this paper we present the study on the AR induced by two chemical mutagens, bleomycin (BLM) and mitomycin C (MMC), which differ in their action on DNA. BLM is a radiomimetic agent causing mainly single-strand breaks (SSB) and double-strand breaks (DSB) and, thus, inducing chromosomal aberrations (CA). MMC is a potent bifunctional mutagen acting as an alkylating agent, causing DNA cross-links and inducing sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs).The protective effect induced by low doses of tested chemicals was analysed in whole blood human lymphocytes using cytogenetic endpoints (CA for BLM and SCE for MMC, respectively) as a measure of chromosomal instability. There was a significant difference between the protective effects induced by BLM and MMC in the lymphocytes of the same group of donors. The pre-treatment with a low dose of BLM-induced almost 50% decrease in the frequency of CA induced by challenging dose (CD), while the protective effect of MMC was below 20%. The higher AR induced by BLM may be related to the repair processing of BLM-induced DNA-damages. There was also a variability in ARs among individuals, which may reflect the differences in individual DNA-repair capacity. 相似文献

Background
Whether microgravity might influence tumour growth and carcinogenesis is still an open issue. It is not clear also if and how normal and transformed cells are differently solicited by microgravity. The present study was designed to verify this issue. 相似文献16.

Hybrids were performed between cell lines derived from four patients with Fanconi's anemia in which different biochemical lesions have been postulated. Complementation studies in these hybrids based on the rate of mitomycin C-induced chromosomal damage supported the concept of allelic mutations. It was therefore concluded that intergenic heterogeneity plays a much lower role in Fanconi's anemia than in Xeroderma pigmentosum or Ataxia teleangiectasia, two other disorders with defective DNA repair. 相似文献

Fanconi anemia (FA) is a recessive chromosomal instability syndrome that is clinically characterized by multiple symptoms. Chromosome breakage hypersensitivity to alkylating agents is the gold standard test for FA diagnosis. In this study, we provide a detailed laboratory protocol for accurate assessment of FA diagnosis based on mitomycin C (MMC) test. Induced chromosomal breakage study was successful in 171 out of 205 aplastic anemia (AA) patients. According to the sensitivity of MMC at 50 ng/ml, 38 patients (22.22%) were diagnosed as affected and 132 patients (77.17%) as unaffected. Somatic mosaicism was suspected in an 11-year-old patient with a FA phenotype. Twenty-six siblings of FA patients were also evaluated and five of them (19.23%) were diagnosed as FA. From this study, a standard protocol for diagnosis of FA was developed. It is routinely used as a diagnostic test of FA in Tunisia. 相似文献

A neuroblastoma cell line was assessed for its capacity to bind tetanus toxin (TT) by using immunofluorescence and flow cytometry to analyze cells on a single cell basis. A clone of Neuro 2a, N2AB-1, was shown to bind variable amounts of TT per cell and this binding could be saturated by increasing doses of the toxin. Toxin binding was specific for neuronal cells, as the non-neuronal cell line, C6 glioma, bound negligible amounts of toxin. Variability of immunofluorescence staining was due in part to the increase in size of N2AB-1 cells as they progress through the cell cycle as measured by cell surface densities of toxin binding and DNA levels by propidium iodide (PI) staining. When N2AB-1 cells were treated with exogenous gangliosides for 24 h, cells were induced to sprout neurites and cell growth was inhibited. Analysis of DNA histograms indicated that ganglioside treatment caused more cells to appear in G0G1 of the cell cycle than that seen for untreated controls. Upon cytometric analysis of TT binding to ganglioside treated cells, it was apparent that treatment stimulated all cells to bind TT in larger amounts per cell than that seen with untreated N2AB-1 cells. These data suggest that TT binding and, therefore, toxin receptors are constant in density throughout the cell cycle of these neuroblastoma cells and that exogenous gangliosides can cause differentiation followed by increased toxin binding. 相似文献
