Modulation of mitomycin C-induced sister chromatid exchanges and cell cycle delay by buthionine sulfoximine and reduced glutathione in mouse bone marrow cells in vivo

Abstract

Mitomycin C (MMC) is a bifunctional alkylating agent and a chemotherapeutic drug, covalently binds to the DNA of cells and produces monoadducts and DNA-DNA, DNA-protein crosslinks, induces damages at chromosomal level and slows down the rate of cell proliferation. Reduced glutathione (GSH), a major non-protein thiol substance plays an important role in detoxification of cells against the toxic effect of exogenous compounds. In order to understand the role of factor which affects MMC sensitivity, we have made an attempt to establish a relationship between MMC-induced DNA damages and the endogenous GSH-status of the cells. MMC was treated to normal and buthionine sulfoximine (BSO; GSH-depleting agent)-treated mice. Exogenous GSH was also added to MMC-treated normal mice. Cells were fixed at 24 h and sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) and average generation time (AGT) were scored. MMC-induced SCEs and cell cycle delay significantly with respect to control and the frequency of SCEs was increased considerably while MMC treatment combined with either GSH or BSO. The induction of cell cycle delay by MMC was reduced significantly when GSH or BSO was present along with MMC. These observations indicate that the factor responsible for indu...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.
