微核形成与细胞周期关系的初步研究——Ⅳ.化学诱变剂诱发人淋巴细胞间期各阶段的微核形成

本实验应用具有诱变作用的抗癌药:噻地哌、长春新碱,乙双吗啉等,体内或体外处理诱发人体外周血淋巴细胞微核,通过控制细胞培养时间,放射性自显影及中期细胞阻滞等方法,定量地分析了细胞间期各阶段的微核率(MNF)。本组实验结果表明,间期各阶段均可有不同程度的微核形成,其中最多的是G_1期,其次是G_2期和G_0期。S期细胞的MNF较G_1期有极显著的下降,这提示大部分G_1期的微核细胞不能进入S期,使细胞增殖中止,这可能是抗癌药物杀伤肿瘤细胞的机制之一。

亚硫酸氢钠（SO2）对人血淋巴细胞染色体畸变,姊妹染色单体互换及微核的效应

本文研究结果表明,亚硫酸氢钠（二氧化硫）能够引起人血淋巴细胞姊妹染色单体互换（ＳＣＥ）和微核（ＭＮ）率的增加,可使淋巴细胞有丝分裂周期延迟及细胞分裂指数下降,且这些作用有显著的剂量效应关系。结果指出,亚硫酸氢钠在低浓度下仅引起细胞染色单体型畸变,在高浓度下既可引起染色单体型畸变,又可引起染色体型畸变。结果还指出,亚硫酸氢钠对染色体畸变（ＣＡ）和ＭＮ的诱发效应有明显的个体差异。硫酸钠未能引起上述细胞     

四硼酸钠诱导蚕豆根尖细胞微核及染色体畸变的实验研究

本文以蚕豆为实验材料,用不同浓度的四硼酸钠处理蚕豆根尖。通过对蚕豆根尖细胞镜检观察结果表明:四硼酸钠可诱导微核的形成及染色体畸变的产生,实验组与对照组差异极为显著,即细胞微核率随处理时间的延长有所增加,50与200ppm浓度诱导细胞微核率没有明显差异。此外,本文对微核的形成与染色体畸变的相关性进行了讨论。     

丝裂霉素C诱发人精子染色体畸变的研究

人精子经最终浓度分别为７．５,１５．３０μｇ／ｍｌ丝裂霉素Ｃ（ＭＭＣ）处理１ｈ后与去透明带地鼠卵受精,制备第１次卵裂中期相进行核型分析,以探讨ＭＭＣ对人精子的诱变效应。结果显示明显的量效关系。染色单体型畸变是诱发畸变的主要类型,但仍观察到一定数量染色体型畸变,表明ＭＭＣ作用于人精子与通常拟紫外线致断剂作用于体细胞诱变的结果并不完全一样。３６．８９％的诱发畸变为重接型,表明金黄地鼠卵母细胞内的修复系统能够修复ＭＭＣ所引起的人精子ＤＮＡ损伤     

培养人淋巴细胞分裂阻滞与常规微核测试法的比较研究 Ⅱ.丝裂霉素C的遗传毒性效应

为了确定胞质分裂阻滞微核测试法(CB-MNT)的实用价值,本研究用0.025-0.4μg/mL的丝裂霉素C(MMC)处理培养的人体外周血淋巴细胞,比较CB-与常规(C)-MNT检测遗传毒性的敏感性,结果表明:(1)在整个剂量范围内,两法测得的微核率(MNF)均有良好的剂量效应关系,但CB法测得MNF低于常规法,随剂量增加而加著;CB法测知的最低浓度为0.1μg/ml,常规法为0.025μg/ml,可见常规法的敏感性优于CB法;(2)我们首次比较了CB法与常规法所检测微核的平均体积,发现CB法检测微核的体积接近常规法的3倍,并提出由于微核形成前后,微核间及微核与主核间的融合,导致了微核体积的增大和数量的减少,进而引起了MNF的下降;(3)CB法检测健康人自发MNF明显高于常规法,这可能是CB法检测低剂量诱变剂效应,较常规法不够敏感的重要原因之一。最后作者结合文献讨论了CB-与C-MNT的实用价值。     

应用原位杂交技术检测X射线诱发的特定染色体的微核率

为了研究X射线与X染色体的微校率之间的关系．本实验利用原位杂交技术同时检测了经X射线诱发人双核淋巴细胞的7号和X染色体的微核率。结果发现：经2．5Gy的X射线照射后．X和7号染色体的微核率男性分别为3．4％和7．1％;女性分别为6．6％和6．0％。X和7号染色体微核率的实验观察值与理论预期值之间在统计学上无显著性差异。实验结果提示：X射线并不特异性引起X染色体的微核率增高。     

Adaptive response in irradiated human lymphocytes: radiobiological and genetical aspects

The adaptive response (AR) in human lymphocytes in different experimental protocols was investigated. The AR was found to be present in cells pre-exposed to 3 cGy of X-rays in G0, G1 and S phase as well as with tritiated water (4 muCi/ml) when the 'challenge' dose was given in G2. There was no AR after prior exposure of the cells in S phase to secondary irradiation from 70 GeV protons. The AR was not observed after preliminary X-irradiation of the lymphocytes in G0 and G1 and 'challenge' irradiation in G1. Cells from 6 patients with Down's syndrome were tested. At least 5 of them did not show the AR. The AR is considered to be a phenomenon of the antimutagenic aftereffect.     

The effects of 4-thujanol on chromosome aberrations,sister chromatid exchanges and micronucleus in human peripheral blood lymphocytes

4-Thujanol, a bicyclic monoterpene alcohol, is present in the essential oils of many medicinal and aromatic plants. It is commonly used as a fragrance and flavouring ingredient in a lot of different products. The potential genotoxic effects of 4-thujanol on human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) were investigated in vitro by the chromosome aberrations (CAs), sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs), and micronucleus (MN) tests. The cells were treated with 13, 26 and 52 μg/mL 4-thujanol in the presence and absence of a metabolic activator (S9 mix). 4-Thujanol induced CA (P < 0.001) and MN formation (P < 0.05) at all concentrations (13, 26 and 52 μg/mL) in the presence and absence of the S9 mix without a concentration-dependent manner. However, the treatment of peripheral lymphocytes with 4-thujanol did not produce a statistical difference in the frequency of SCEs when compared with control group. Furthermore, this monoterpene did not significantly decrease the mitotic index (MI), proliferation index (PI), and nuclear division index (NDI). In conclusion, 4-thujanol had a significant clastogenic effect at the tested concentrations (13, 26 and 52 μg/mL) for human PBLs. In addition, no cytotoxic and/or cytostatic effects were observed regardless of the concentrations used. This work presents the first report on genotoxic properties of 4-thujanol.     

Induction of chromosome aberrations in cultured human lymphocytes treated with ethoxyquin

The chromosomal aberration test was employed to investigate the effect in vitro of a known antioxidant and food preservative, ethoxyquin (EQ, 1,2-dihydro-6-ethoxy-2,2,4-trimethylquinoline) on human chromosomes. The studies were undertaken because there are no published in vitro data on genotoxicity of EQ in mammalian cells and there are many reports pointing out that it may be harmful to animals and human beings. Lymphocytes obtained from three healthy donors were incubated with EQ (0.01–0.5 mM) both with and without metabolic activation. Stability studies performed by HPLC analysis showed that EQ was stable under the conditions of the lymphocyte cultures. The results of the chromosome aberration assay showed that EQ induces chromosome aberrations: gaps and breaks as well as dicentrics and atypical translocation chromosomes.     

Micronucleus frequency and proliferation in human lymphocytes after exposure to herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid in vitro and in vivo

Widespread use of the herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and its association with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) and other cancers has raised public concern. Here, micronucleus (MN) formation has been used as a biomarker of genotoxicity, and replicative and mitotic indices (MIs) as biomarkers of cell cycle kinetics in human lymphocytes. Cells were cultured either as whole blood or isolated lymphocytes and treated with pure or commercial forms of 2,4-D at doses between 0.001 and 1 mM for 48 h. Exposure to 2,4-D produced a minimal increase in MN in whole blood and even smaller one in isolated lymphocyte cultures. This induction took place only at levels approaching cytotoxicity and was accompanied by a significant inhibition of replicative index (RI). At a low (0.005 mM) dose of commercial 2,4-D, a small, marginally significant increase in RI (12–15%) was found in two independent sets of experiments (P=0.052). Additionally, we found that lymphocyte RI was more affected by commercial 2,4-D containing 9.4% of the chemically pure 2,4-D, than with an equal concentration of the latter suggesting that other ingredients present in the commercial pesticide may be responsible or may enhance the effect of 2,4-D. Mitotic index, however, did not show any significant change with either commercial or pure 2,4-D. The lymphocytes of 12 male applicators exposed solely to 2,4-D during a 3-month period had a significantly higher RI than the same group prior to exposure and than a control group (P<0.01), in accordance with the in vitro finding of increased RI at low doses.     

用绒毛组织微核评价母亲因素对人胚的致突变性

对507对欲作人工流产的夫妇进行断面调查及绒毛组织微核的测定,以探讨父母吸烟、饮酒及采取避孕措施等因素对子代的致突变性。结果显示:微核的发生率与母亲年龄、孕次、孕龄、既往流产史等自身的因素无关;各种避孕措施及少量饮酒均不具有诱发绒毛微核细胞率增加的作用。然而,男方吸烟、女方被动吸烟其微核细胞率为0.7645±0.0561‰高于饮酒组(0.5667±0.2004‰)和非吸烟对照组(05522±0.0616‰),与对照组有显著性统计学意义(P<0.05)。男方配偶吸烟兼饮酒者其微核发生率最高(0.7944±0.0754‰),说明吸烟与饮酒对诱发绒毛微核的产生有协同作用的趋势。本文并对男方吸烟和/或女方被动吸烟可诱发胚胎绒毛组织细胞DNA和/或纺锤体装置的损伤,进行了探讨,提出应引起人们的高度重视,并建议利用人类绒毛组织微核测定法作为监测环境致突变因子对人类下一代影响的方法。     

Clastogenic effects of food additive citric acid in human peripheral lymphocytes

Clastogenic properties of the food additive citric acid, commonly used as an antioxidant, were analysed in human peripheral blood lymphocytes. Citric acid induced a significant increase of chromosomal aberrations (CAs) at all the concentrations and treatment periods tested. Citric acid significantly decreased mitotic index (MI) at 100 and 200 μg ml⁻¹ concentrations at 24 h, and in all concentrations at 48 h. However, it did not decrease the replication index (RI) significantly. Citric acid also significantly increased sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) at 100 and 200 μg ml⁻¹ concentrations at 24 h, and in all concentrations at 48 h. This chemical significantly increased the micronuclei frequency (MN) compared to the negative control. It also decreased the cytokinesis-block proliferation index (CBPI), but this result was not statistically significant.     

念珠伪角毛虫小核体功能初步研究

为了研究念珠伪角毛虫的小核是否具有及具有怎样的体功能,采用显微切割手术去小核并建立无小核细胞系。经蛋白银染色鉴定,无小核细胞系群体中大多数细胞的形态结构存在缺陷：口围带的部分小膜缺损或排列紊乱,大核的数目和形态也不正常。这表明,念珠伪角毛虫的小核对于保持口围带结构的完整性以及大核的数目和形态结构的稳定性起着明确的作用。     

Mutagenicity and genotoxicity of dicapthon insecticide

Mutagenic and genotoxic effects of dicapthon were investigated by using the bacterial reverse mutation assay in Salmonella typhimurium TA97, TA98, TA100 and TA102 strains with or without metabolic activation system (S9 mix), and chromosome aberrations (CAs), sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs), and micronucleus (MN) tests in human peripheral blood lymphocytes in vitro. Dicapthon was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide for all test systems. 0.1, 1, 10 and 100 μg/plate doses of dicapthon were found to be weakly mutagenic on S. typhimurium TA 98 without S9 mix. The human peripheral lymphocytes were treated with four experimental concentrations of dicapthon (25, 50, 100, and 200 μg/mL) for 24 and 48 h. Dicapthon increased the frequency of SCE only at the 100 μg/mL concentration for the 24 and 48 h applications. Dicapthon also induced abnormal cell frequency, CA/cell ratio and frequency of MN dose dependently for 24 and 48 h. Dicapthon showed a statistically significant cytotoxic effect by decreasing the mitotic index in all concentrations and a cytostatic effect by decreasing nuclear division index in 100 and 200 μg/mL concentrations for both treatment periods when compared with both untreated and solvent controls. These values decreased also in a dose dependent manner.     

Effect of pH shifts on radiosensitivity of human lymphocytes irradiated in the G2 stage

Experiments were carried out using human lymphocytes in order to test the effect of pH shifts on radiosensitivity of cells irradiated in the G₂ stage. In our culture conditions constant variations in medium pH over the range of 7.4–6.8 were observed as a function of incubation time after PHA stimulation; in addition the pH of the medium was adjusted in parallel cultures over the range of 5.9–8.2. Then we exposed the cultures with different pH to a treatment of X-rays delivered 2 h before fixation.

The pH of the medium was found to greatly affect the yield of induced chromatid aberrations.
