چکیده

crude oil is enriched in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs). many pah analogs have proved to potentially damage dna. dna damage can be assessed using various biomarkers to find out the degree of genotoxicity of pollutants following in vitro exposure. in this research the comet assay and micronucleus (mn) test were used to detect dna damages and cytogenetic changes following crude oil exposure. for this purpose, freshwater bivalve mollusks (anodonta cygnea) were exposed for ten days to 0.25, 0.5 and 1.0 ppm of crude oil. for the comet assay and for the mn test, hemolymph and gill cells of mussels were sampled respectively. statistically, significant increase of dna damage and micronuclei were found with 0.25, 0.5 and 1.0 ppm of crude oil. this study was performed to ascertain that a. cygnea is a good bioindicator of pollutants in aquatic environments; also identified hemolymph and gill of a.cygnea are most effective and practical tissues for genotoxicity studies.

DNA Damage in Leukocytes from Fanconi Anemia (FA) Patients and Heterozygotes Induced by Mitomycin C and Ionizing Radiation as Assessed by the Comet and Comet-FISH Assay

Background: Lymphocytes of Fanconi anemia (FA) show an increased sensitivity to the alkylating agents such as mitomycin C (MMC), but their responses to gamma-irradiation is controversial. The extent of DNA damage in leukocytes of FA patients following irradiation and MMC treatment was studied at cellular and single chromosome level. Methods: DNA damage induced by gamma-rays and MMC was measure...

Studies on electron beam induced DNA damage and repair kinetics in lymphocytes by alkaline comet assay

Background: Exposure to ionizing radiation is known to induce oxidative stress followed by damage to critical biomolecules like lipids, proteins and DNA through radiolysis of cellular water. Since radiation has been widely used as an important tool in therapy of cancer, the detailed investigation regarding the DNA damage and repair kinetics would help to predict the radiation sensitivity of cel...

Radioresponse of human lymphocytes pretreated with boron and gadolinium as assessed by the comet assay

Background: Boron and gadolinium are among the nuclides that hold a unique property of being a neutron capture therapy agent. Neutron beams have often a considerable portion of gamma rays with fast neutrons. Gamma rays, as beam contaminants, can cause considerable damage to normal tissues even if such tissues do contain high boron concentrations. Materials and Methods: The modification of radio...

Genotoxic and Antigenotoxic Activity of Silymarin by an In Vivo Bone Marrow Micronucleus Assay and Comet Assay

Introduction: Silymarin is obtained from Silybum marianum (milk thistle), an edible plant that has long been used medicinally for the treatment of liver-related disorders. Silymarin is a powerful hepatoprotective and antioxidant but the anticlastogenic activity, which is an important aspect of its cancer chemoprevention is not known hence the present investigation was carried out to study its...
