Aroclor-1254-induced rat-liver S9 causes chromosomal aberrations in CHO cells but not human lymphocytes: a role for active oxygen?

Abstract

Incubation of CHO cells with Aroclor-1254 induced S9 mix gave higher than normal levels of chromosomal aberrations (CA), sometimes achieving exceptional levels (e.g. up to 40 CA, minus gaps, per 100 cells against a normal range of 0-10). The same batches of S9 gave normal CA frequencies in human lymphocytes from whole blood cultures, normal mutation frequencies in bacterial reversion (Ames) tests and mammalian cell hgprt mutation tests, and normal levels of repair in scheduled DNA synthesis tests. As cytochrome P-450 enzymes, in the absence of substrate, will cycle electrons and could produce active oxygen species (AOS), which are known to be clastogenic, this was investigated. Preliminary studies showed the complete S9 mix was required for the high levels of CA, and that CA levels could be dramatically reduced by co-incubation with catalase or vitamin E. Interestingly, uninduced S9 and phenobarbitone/beta-naphthoflavone induced S9 mixes did not cause high levels of CA, and presumably have different isozymes of P-450 that do not generate AOS as readily. These observations suggest that CHO cells are sensitive to AOS which are inactivated by blood components. This may have implications for the choice of cell system in routine cla...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
