Metal-induced DNA damage and repair in human diploid fibroblasts and Chinese hamster ovary cells

Chemico-biological Interactions

Abstract

Cloning efficiency and DNA strand breaks induction were compared in human diploid fibroblasts (HSBP) and chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells treated with various metal salts. Cadmium (Cd2+), nickel (Ni2+) and chromate (Cr2O7) reduced the cloning efficiency of HSBP cells more than that of CHO cells whereas the reverse was true after treatment with mercury (Hg2+), manganese (Mn2+) and cobalt (Co2+). The effects on cloning efficiency did not consistently correlate with DNA strand breaking activity as all metals except Cr(VI) were more effective at producing DNA strand breaks in CHO cells than in human cells. The differential responses of the two cell types was shown to be only partially due to differences in cellular uptake of metals. DNA breaks induced in human cells by Hg2+ and Cr2O7 were shown most likely to be alkaline labile sites rather than true strand breaks since no damage was detected in a nick translation assay which measures the amount of free 3'-OH terminals. Damage induced by Mn2+ and Co2+, however, appeared to be comprised at least in part by true DNA strand breaks. DNA damage was also induced in HSBP cells following treatment with selenium but only in the presence of reduced glutathione. These studies indicate that D...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.
