Measurement of DNA repair as unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) in vitro following exposure in vivo in multiple tissues from the same treated animal can provide valuable information relating to the tissue- and organ-specificity of chemically induced DNA damage. UDS was evaluated in primary cultures of rat tracheal epithelial cells, hepatocytes and pachytene spermatocytes after exposure in vitro to methyl chloride (MeCl), and after isolation from the same treated animal following inhalation exposure in vivo. Concentrations of 1-10% MeCl in vitro induced UDS in hepatocytes and spermatocytes, but not in tracheal epithelial cells. Inhalation exposure to MeCl in vivo (3000-3500 ppm 6 h/day for 5 successive days) failed to induce DNA repair in any cell type. In vivo exposure to 15 000 ppm MeCl for 3 h also failed to induce UDS in tracheal epithelial cells and spermatocytes, but did cause a marginal increase in UDS in hepatocytes. Thus, MeCl appears to be a weak, direct-acting genotoxicant. While activity could be measured in hepatocytes and spermatocytes directly in vitro, only extremely high concentrations of MeCl elicited a response in the whole animal, and then only in hepatocytes. 相似文献

This study was performed to investigate the effect of storing blood samples by freezing on selected biomarkers and possible implications for biomonitoring. Comparative measurements were performed in order to investigate the use of cryopreserved vs. freshly separated peripheral mononuclear blood cells (PMBC) obtained from donor blood. Measurements of DNA-repair, mutant frequency, and subcell content were included. Samples for large biomonitoring studies are usually taken from study groups within a short timeperiod of days/weeks and storing of study material for later analysis can be necessary. We measured the DNA repair activity as dimethylsulfate induced unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) in PMBC incubated with either autologous plasma or fetal bovine serum (FBS). Comparison of the hprt mutant frequency by the T cell cloning assay was made in parallel. Finally the content of B/T-lymphocytes and monocytes was measured in phytohemaglutinin (PHA)-stimulated cultures at different time intervals. The results showed a higher DNA repair activity in cryopreserved samples compared with fresh samples. We also found differences in mutant frequencies with higher values in fresh samples. A significant correlation of frequencies was seen when comparing fresh with cryopreserved samples. Furthermore we recommend fresh human plasma used in UDS incubation media. 相似文献

The human FL cell line contains very low levels of constitutive AHH activity, but it could be greatly induced by NE, beta-NF and 3-MC, and induced slightly by PB. When two different types of inducer, for example, 3-MC and PB or 3-MC and NE were given in combination, an additive inductive effect was not observed. Both the constitutive and induced AHH in FL cells have characteristics of MFO, namely, NADPH-dependence and CO-sensitivity. The fact that the constitutive and induced AHH in FL cells could be inhibited by a known hydroxylase inhibitor 7,8-BF indicated that the AHH in FL cells belongs to the cytochrome P-448 dependent MFO type. After removal of inducer from the medium, the induced AHH activity remained at a high level for at least 24-36 h. By using AHH-induced FL cells in the UDS assay system for the detection of promutagens/procarcinogens, we found that AFB1 and 3-MC did not induce a UDS reaction in uninduced FL cells, while in beta-NF induced cells, 10(-6)-10(-4) M AFB1 and 10(-7)-10(-6) M 3-MC elicited a very significant UDS reaction, which was concordant with the results obtained in the UDS assay system using HeLa cells or FL cells supplemented with liver microsomes or using primary cultured hepatocytes as indicator cells. B(a)P elicited the UDS reaction at concentrations of 10(-6)-10(-3) M in beta-NF induced cells, whereas 10(-4)-10(-3) M was required in uninduced cells. The results above indicate that this new design is feasible, but further study is needed to assure its accuracy. 相似文献

An autoradiographic study of unscheduled DNA synthesis in the germ cells of male mice treated with X-rays and methyl methanesulfonate 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) in the germ cells of male mice after in vivo treatment with X-rays or methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) was assayed by use of a quantitative autoradiographic procedure. MMS induced UDS in meiotic through type III elongating spermatid stages, whereas X-rays induced UDS in meiotic through round spermatid stages. No UDS was detected in the most mature spermatid stages present in the testis with either MMS or X-rays. Taking into account differences in DNA content of the various germ-cell stages studied, we concluded that X-rays induced a maximum UDS response in spermatocytes at diakinesis--metaphase I. The level of UDS induced by MMS was about the same in all the stages capable of repair. Chromosome damage and UDS were measured simultaneously in the same spermatocytes at diakinesis 90 min after X-irradiation or MMS treatment. The level of UDS in most of the X-irradiated cells paralleled the extent of chromosome damage induced. A statistical analysis of these results revealed a positive correlation. As expected, MMS induced no chromosome aberrations above control levels. Therefore no correlation was determined between UDS and chromosome damage in this case. The distribution of UDS over the chromosomes treated at diakinesis with MMS or X-rays was studied. It was found that UDS occurred in clusters in the irradiated cells, whereas it was uniformly distributed in the MMS-treated cells. 相似文献

Effects of hyperthermia and nicotinamide on ADP-ribosyl transferase activity (ADPRT), unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS), NAD+- and ATP-pools and cytotoxicity were investigated in gamma-irradiated human mononuclear leukocytes. A significant decrease in radiation-induced UDS after heat treatment for 45 min was found. Nicotinamide increased the UDS levels in irradiated cells, but no effect of hyperthermia on these increased UDS values was observed. In the presence of 2 mM nicotinamide radiation-induced ADPRT activity was reduced to about 50 per cent. However, hyperthermia for 45 min was found to have no effect on the enzyme activity for temperatures below 46 degrees C. Nicotinamide increased the NAD+ pool in unirradiated cells. Damaging the cells with gamma-radiation leads to a severe depletion of the NAD+ pool. The NAD+ pool is restored, however, if the cells repair for 5 h at 37 degrees C. When radiation-damaged cells were treated with hyperthermia, exogenously supplied nicotinamide could not be converted to NAD+ in sufficient amounts to prevent NAD+ depletion. These data indicate that the radiosensitizing effect of heat and nicotinamide could both be explained by effects on the enzyme ADPRT, i.e. nicotinamide by directly blocking the enzyme and hyperthermia by limiting the co-substrate (NAD+). 相似文献

Successful reproductive cloning depends on obtaining intact donor nuclei from viable cells, ideally isolated by tissue biopsy of a living donor. However, owners and veterinarians often freeze deceased animals, which eventually causes damage to cellular micro-organelles due to the formation of intracellular water crystals. In the present study, we have reported the production of viable cloned puppies using donor nuclei of cells obtained from frozen carcasses. Five cases of deceased and frozen canine specimens were presented to be cloned. Skin fibroblast cell lines were successfully established for four specimens. Significant longer time was needed for the cell growth from frozen tissues (4 days) to reach 80% confluency compared to fresh tissue and frozen tissues frozen for 1- or 2-days. Similarly, SA-βgal positive cells (death cells) were significantly higher in frozen cells for 2- or 4- days compared to samples from fresh or frozen (1 day) sources. The cloning efficiency (CE) and the pregnancy rates (PR) of frozen cells were lower than those obtained from fresh or living donors (CE 2.4 ± 1.8% vs. 0.6 ± 0.3%, PR 21.7 ± 16.1% vs. 7.7 ± 5.3% for fresh vs. frozen, respectively). Here we demonstrate is the possibility to produce healthy offspring from cell lines obtained from frozen tissue collected post-mortem. 相似文献

Repair of damage by ultraviolet radiation in xeroderma pigmentosum cell strains of complementation groups E and F 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The xeroderma pigmentosum fibroblast strains XP2RO, complementation group E, and XP23OS, group F, were compared with normal human primary fibroblasts with regard to repair of damage induced by 254-nm UV. In XP2RO cells, repair DNA synthesis, measured by autoradiography (unscheduled DNA synthesis = UDS), was about 50% of the value found in normal human cells. In these cells also the removal of UV-induced sites recognized by a specific UV-endonuclease proceeds at a reduced rate. By having BUdR incorporated into the repaired regions, followed by the induction of breaks in these patches by 313-nm UV, it was shown that the reduced repair synthesis is not caused by a shorter length of the repair regions in XP2RO, but is solely due to a reduction in the number of sites removed by excision repair. In XP23OS a discrepancy was observed between the level of UDS, which was about 10% of the normal value, and other repair-dependent properties such as UV survival, host-cell reactivation and removal of UV-endonuclease-susceptible sites, which were less reduced than could be expected from the UDS level. However, when UDS was followed over a longer period than the 2 or 3 h normally used in UDS analysis, it appeared that in XP23OS cells, the rate of UDS remained constant whereas the rate decreased in normal control cells. Consequently, the residual level of UDS varies with the period over which it is studied. 相似文献

Suspensions of isolated peripheral lymphocytes were frozen to ?95 °C using a programmed freezing apparatus and dimethyl sulphoxide as a cryoprotective agent. In comparisons among fresh cells, frozen cells, and cells stored in storage medium, freezing was found to be the best method of storage with retention of almost the same immunocapacity as fresh cells and with the same coefficients of variation for results after stimulation with phytohemagglutinin, pokeweed mitogen, concanavalin A, purified protein derivative, and allogenic cells in mixed lymphocyte cultures as was obtained with fresh cells. Blast transformation was found to be dependent on the number of cells in the cultures, the amount of [14C]thymidine added, and the amount of phytohemagglutinin used but independent of the amounts of pokeweed mitogen and concanavalin A. The maximum responses for normal lymphocytes and lymphocytes from uremic patients after stimulation with phytohemagglutinin occurred simultaneously, but after stimulation with allogenic cells maximum response was obtained earlier for “uremic” than for normal lymphocytes.It was concluded that frozen-stored lymphocytes are suitable for in vitro quantitative measurements of the cellular immune response in an immunological sequential study provided that the above mentioned factors are well defined. 相似文献

A new method is described to investigate unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) in human tissue after exposure in vitro: the human hair follicle. A histological technique was applied to assess cytotoxicity and UDS in the same hair follicle cells. UDS induction was examined for 11 chemicals and the results were compared with literature findings for UDS in rat hepatocytes. Most chemicals inducing UDS in rat hepatocytes raised DNA repair at comparable concentrations in the hair follicle. However, 1 of 9 chemicals that gave a positive response in the rat hepatocyte UDS test, 2-acetylaminofluorene, failed to induce DNA repair in the hair follicle. Metabolizing potential of hair follicle cells was shown in experiments with indirectly acting compounds, i.e., benzo[a]pyrene, 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene and dimethylnitrosamine. The results support the conclusion that the test in its present state is valuable as a screening assay for the detection of unscheduled DNA synthesis. Moreover, the use of human tissues may result in a better extrapolation to man. 相似文献

DNA excision repair, as measured by unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS), was examined in different cell types of rabbit lung exposed to nitropolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (NO-PAH) in vitro. Dose-related increases in UDS were observed. 1,6-Dinitropyrene (1,6-DNP) and 1,8-dinitropyrene (1,8-DNP) induced UDS more effectively in alveolar type-II cells compared with Clara cells. On the other hand, 1-nitropyrene (1-NP) caused a weak UDS response in Clara cells but no DNA repair in alveolar type-II cells. 相似文献

5 mutagen-sensitive mutants of Drosophila melanogaster, reported to perform normal or only slightly reduced excision repair of UV damage, were examined by an unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) assay. This assay measures the ability of cultured primary cells, derived from each mutant, to perform the resynthesis step in the excision repair pathway, following damage to cellular DNA by direct-acting alkylating agents, UV or X-irradiation. 2 mutants, classified as completely or partially proficient for both excision and postreplication repair of UV damage, mus(1)103 and mus(2)205, were found to give positive UDS responses only for UV damage. These mutants exhibit no measurable UDS activity following DNA damage by several different alkylating agents and X-rays. 3 mutants, classified as having no defect in excision repair, but measurable defects in postreplication repair of UV damage, mei-41, mus(1)101, and mus(3)310 exhibit 3 different response patterns when tested with the battery of agents in the UDS assay. The mutant mei-41 exhibits a highly positive UDS response following damage by all agents, consistent with its prior classification as excision-repair-proficient, but postreplication-repair-deficient for UV damage. The mutant mus(1)101, however, exhibits a strong positive UDS response following only UV damage and appears to be blocked in the excision repair of damage produced by both alkylating agents and X-irradiation. Finally, mus(3)310 exhibits no UDS response to alkylation, X-ray or UV damage. This is not consistent with its previous classification. Results obtained with the quantitative in vitro UDS assay are entirely consistent with the results from two separate in vivo measures of excision repair deficiency following DNA damage, larval hypersensitivity to killing and hypermutability in the sex-linked recessive lethal test. 相似文献

The broad use of transgenic and gene-targeted mice has established bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) as important mammalian host cells for investigation of the macrophages biology. Over the last decade, extensive research has been done to determine how to freeze and store viable hematopoietic human cells; however, there is no information regarding generation of BMDM from frozen murine bone marrow (BM) cells. Here, we establish a highly efficient protocol to freeze murine BM cells and further generate BMDM. Cryopreserved murine BM cells maintain their potential for BMDM differentiation for more than 6 years. We compared BMDM obtained from fresh and frozen BM cells and found that both are similarly able to trigger the expression of CD80 and CD86 in response to LPS or infection with the intracellular bacteria Legionella pneumophila. Additionally, BMDM obtained from fresh or frozen BM cells equally restrict or support the intracellular multiplication of pathogens such as L. pneumophila and the protozoan parasite Leishmania (L.) amazonensis. Although further investigation are required to support the use of the method for generation of dendritic cells, preliminary experiments indicate that bone marrow-derived dendritic cells can also be generated from cryopreserved BM cells. Overall, the method described and validated herein represents a technical advance as it allows ready and easy generation of BMDM from a stock of frozen BM cells. 相似文献

DNA repair synthesis and chromosomal aberrations induced in vivo by triethylenemelamine 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The alkylating agent, triethylenemelamine (TEM), was studied for its ability to induce unscheduled DNA (repair) synthesis (UDS) in vivo in rat lymphocytes. Somatic cytogenetic alterations were analyzed (in bone marrow) and compared with UDS as a function of TEM dosage. UDS was evaluated through the use of autoradiography; cytogenetic alterations were studied in metaphase bone marrow chromosome preparations.Data indicated that the degree of UDS is a direct function of TEM dosage up to a rate-limiting concentration, at which point it ceases to be dose dependent. Except for a deviation at the highest dose level tested, the extent of cytogenetic damage was directly and linearly related to TEM dose. Between the control and intermediate (0.2 mg/kg) dose levels, UDS response increased II-fold while cytogenetic damage showed only a 4-fold increase; this disparity diminished with increasing TEM dose. In the lower dose levels, therefore, the greater relative sensitivity of UDS evaluation in the detection of genetic activity may be indicated. Patterns of UDS response observed through the in vivo assay developed in this study were found to be analogous to those established in in vitro studies. 相似文献

Two monoclonal antibodies used to investigate the expression of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R) in 45 lung cancers were compared. The R1 antibody recognises the extracellular domain portion of the receptor and the F4 is directed against the cytoplasmic portion. The reactivities of the two antibodies have been compared in fresh frozen tumour specimens. In addition the staining activity of the F4 antibody (the first to EGF-R which can be used in archival material) was compared using frozen and paraffin sections from the same series of tumours. Comparisons of the numbers of cells staining with the R1 and F4 antibody showed only slight discrepancy when fresh material was examined. The discrepancy that existed could be explained by the heterogeneity of the tumours. Very similar results were obtained using the F4 antibody on paraffin embedded and fresh non-small cell lung cancer material. We conclude that the expression EGF-R can be detected reliably by the F4 antibody in both the fresh frozen and formalin fixed, paraffin embedded material and could be useful in assessing the clinical importance of EGF-R in archival tumour material. 相似文献

The mei-9 and mus(2)201 mutants of Drosophila melanogaster were identified as mutagen-sensitive mutants on the basis of larval hypersensitivity to methyl methanesulfonate and characterized as excision repair-deficient on the basis of a greatly reduced capacity to excise thymine dimers from cellular DNA. The high degree of larval cytotoxicity observed with a variety of other chemical and physical agents indicated that these mutants may be unable to excise other important classes of DNA adducts. We have measured the ability of the single mutants and the double mutant combination mei-9;mus(2)201 to perform the resynthesis step in excision repair by means of an autoradiographic analysis of unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) induced in a mixed population of primary cells in culture. The 3 strains exhibit no detectable UDS activity in response to applied doses of 1.5-6.0 mM methyl methanesulfonate, 1.0-4.5 mM N-methyl-N-nitrosourea or 10-40 J/m2 254-nm UV light, dose ranges in which control cells exhibit a strong dose-dependent UDS response. The mei-9 and mei-9;mus(2)201 mutants also have no detectable UDS response to X-ray doses of 300-1800 rad, whereas the mus(2)201 mutant exhibits a reduced, but dose-dependent, response over this range. These data correlate well with the degree of larval hypersensitivity of the strains and suggest that mutations at both loci block the excision repair of a wide variety of DNA damage prior to the resynthesis step. 相似文献

Chlorhexidine diacetate (CHA) was rather more sporicidal at 20C to ureadithreitol-sodium lauryl sulphate (UDS)-treated spores of Bacillus subtilis NCTC 8236 than to urea-dithiothreitol (UDT)-treated or normal (untreated) spores. UDS spores adsorbed more CHA from solution than did the other two forms. No differences in hydrophobicity, as determined by hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) or bacterial adherence to hydrocarbon (BATH), could be detected between the three spore types. Germinating spores took up much less CHA than did outgrowing spores. Germinating cells were considerably more hydrophobic, as measured by the BATH technique, than outgrowing cells or normal spores. Chlorhexidine diacetate increased the apparent hydrophobicity of the two latter forms, but this effect could be partially reversed by subsequent exposure to a non-ionic surfactant. 相似文献
