Chromate-induced epimutations in mammalian cells.
Epigenetic gene silencing by aberrant DNA methylation of gene promoter regions is a nonmutagenic but heritable epigenetic mechanism that may mistakenly cause the silencing of important cancer-related tumor suppressor genes. Using a transgenic, V79-derived, mammalian cell line (G12) that contains a bacterial gpt reporter gene in its DNA, we can study carcinogen-induced gene inactivation by mutag...
متن کاملmicronuclei versus chromosomal aberrations induced by x-ray in radiosensitive mammalian cells.
an experimental study was accomplished to compare estimation methods of ionizing radiations genotoxicity in mammalian cell cultures by means of two cytogenetic parameters with focus on aberrant cells characterized by multiple chromosomal damages.in vitro study was carried out on the genotoxicity of low-medium doses of 190 kv x-rays absorbed in chinese hamster ovary cell cultures. micronuclei an...
متن کاملProoxidant cytotoxicity of chromate in mammalian cells: the opposite roles of DT-diaphorase and glutathione reductase.
The geno- and cytotoxicity of chromate, an important environmental pollutant, is partly attributed to the flavoenzyme-catalyzed reduction with the concomitant formation of reactive oxygen species. The aim of this work was to characterize the role of NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1, DT-diaphorase, EC 1.6.99.2) and glutathione reductase (GR, EC 1.6.4.2) in the mammalian cell cytotoxicity of ...
متن کاملPathogen-induced signaling in mammalian cells
e incidence of diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria is once again increasing with the resurgence of tuberculosis, the rise of nosocomial infections, and escalating resistance to antibiotics. Over the last two decades it has become increasingly apparent that many bacterial pathogens of substantial medical relevance engage in complex cross-talk with cells of their mammalian hosts. It is thus cr...
متن کاملUVC-Induced Stress Granules in Mammalian Cells
Stress granules (SGs) are well characterized cytoplasmic RNA bodies that form under various stress conditions. We have observed that exposure of mammalian cells in culture to low doses of UVC induces the formation of discrete cytoplasmic RNA granules that were detected by immunofluorescence staining using antibodies to RNA-binding proteins. UVC-induced cytoplasmic granules are not Processing Bo...
