Abstract
2 mutant mouse cells M10 and Q31 were examined for chromosomal aberrations induced by ultraviolet radiation (UV) and 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide (4NQO), as compared with mouse lymphoma L5178Y cells. Q31 cells are UV- and 4NQO-sensitive cells isolated from L5178Y cells. M10 cells are similar but are sensitive to ionizing radiation and 4NQO. After treatment with UV or 4NQO, chromatid-type aberrations in these cell strains were induced more frequently in the first mitotic cells, at late fixation times. After UV exposure (2.4 J/m2), the maximal frequencies of chromatid-type breaks in Q31 cells were about 5 times higher than in L5178Y cells. In M10 cells such breaks were only as frequent as in L5178Y cells. After 4NQO treatment (50 ng/ml) the frequencies of chromatid-type breaks in M10 and Q31 cells were significantly higher than in L5178Y cells. From these results and those of previous studies (Takahashi et al., 1982), M10 cells may be considered hypersensitive to gamma-rays and 4NQO, but not to UV, and thus react similarly to L5178Y cells. The hypersensitivity of M10 cells to 4NQO may result from a defect in the ionizing-radiation repair mechanism as has been suggested to occur in ataxia telangiectasia (AT) cells. Q31 cells are hyper...Continue Reading
