Abstract

An established cell line of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO-9) cells and its UV-sensitive mutant 43-3B have been studied for the induction of cell killing, chromosomal aberrations and sister-chromatid exchanges (SCEs) after exposure to different types of DNA-damaging agents such as 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide (4NQO), mitomycin C (MMC), diepoxybutane (DEB), methyl methanesulfonate (MMS), ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) and ethyl nitrosourea (ENU). In comparison with the wild-type CHO cells, 43-3B cells showed very high sensitivity to the UV-mimetic agent 4NQO and the DNA cross-linking agents MMC and DEB. The 43-3B cells responded with higher sensitivity to the monofunctional alkylating agents (MMS, EMS and ENU). The increased cytotoxic effects of all these chemicals correlated well with the elevated increase in the frequency of chromosomal aberrations. In 43-3B cells exposed to 4NQO, MMC or DEB the increase in the frequency of chromosomal aberrations was much higher than the increase in the frequency of SCEs (4-10-fold) when compared to the wild-type CHO cells. This suggests that SCEs are results of fundamentally different cellular events. The responses of 43-3B cells to UV, 4NQO, MMC and DEB resemble those of 2 human syndromes, i.e., xero...Continue Reading

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.
