Abstract: | Summary Fibroblasts of a patient with Bloom syndrome (GM-1492) were cultured in the presence of either mitomycin C, ethylmethanesulfonate, or 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide, (4-NQ1-O) and sister chromatid exchange was determined. The mutagens enhanced the sister chromatid exchange rate to different degrees, 4-NQ1-O being the most potent substance. Bloom corrective factor, which is present in normal cell-conditioned culture medium, reduced the spontaneously increased SCE in Bloom syndrome cells by about 20 SCE per metaphase but failed to reduce the additional mutagen-induced SCE increase. These findings indicate that only spontaneously, but not mutagen-indeuced, SCE in Bloom syndrome fibroblasts can be decreased by the Bloom corrective factor. |
