it is now universally accepted that dna is the main target for damages caused by physical and chemical genotoxicants. although there are different methods to measure directly the induced dna damages but due to fast repair processes in cellular environment, most of the damages would be repaired even before sampling, therefore processed dna damages, i.e. damages left unrepaired after acting repai...
The essential role of dietary micronutrients for genome stability is well documented, yet the effect of folate deficiency or excess on telomeres is not known. Accordingly, human WIL2-NS cells were maintained in medium containing 30, 300, or 3,000 nmol/L folic acid (FA) for 42 days to test the hypothesis that chronic folate deficiency would cause telomere shortening and dysfunction. After 14 day...
Micronucleus (MN) expression in peripheral blood lymphocytes is well established as a standard method for monitoring chromosome damage in human populations. The first results of an analysis of pooled data from laboratories using the cytokinesis-block micronucleus (CBMN) assay and participating in the HUMN (HUman MicroNucleus project) international collaborative study are presented. The effects ...
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common psychiatric condition with onset in childhood, and in more than 50% of cases it persists into adulthood as a chronic disorder. Over five million methylphenidate (MPH) prescriptions were issued in the USA in 2003, mostly for children. A previous report [R.A. El-Zein, S.Z. Abdel-Rahman, M.J. Hay, M.S. Lopez, M.L. Bondy, D.L. Morri...
Epidemiological studies indicate that living in proximity to coal mines is correlated with numerous diseases including cancer, and that exposure to PM10 and PM2.5 components could be associated with this phenomenon. However, the understanding of the mechanisms by which PM exerts its adverse effects is still incomplete and comes mainly from studies in occupationally exposed populations. The aims...
Folate-mediated one-carbon metabolism (FMOCM) is linked to DNA synthesis, methylation, and cell proliferation. Vitamin B6 (B6) is a cofactor, and genetic polymorphisms of related key enzymes, such as serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT), methionine synthase reductase (MTRR), and methionine synthase (MS), in FMOCM may govern the bioavailability of metabolites and play important roles in the ma...
background: a radioprotective effect of amifostine as well as its ability to modulate the level of spontaneous and gamma-irradiation-induced genetic changes on human peripheral blood lymphocytes has been investigated . amifostine, known as a potent radical scavenger, has been introduced as the most effective radioprotector, yet it is not completely approved for the clinical use. however, furthe...
purpose: the aim of this study was to test the in vitro sensitivity of lymphocytes of patients with head and neck cancer against gamma irradiation and also to find out if the frequencies of chromosomal aberrations correlate with side effects of radiotherapy. patients and methods : peripheral blood of 101 patients with head and neck cancer was collected before the onset of radiotherapy, cultured...
Ribavirin, an N-glycosyl nucleoside (1-beta-D-ribofuranosyl-1, 2, 4-triazole-3 carboxamide), is a synthetic purine nucleoside analogue with a broad spectrum of antiviral activity, however, its high toxicity poses a major disadvantage of its use as a therapeutic. Various studies have shown that vitamin B12 plays a significant role in maintaining the stability of the human genome. We therefore in...
PURPOSE The present study was an attempt to determine the spontaneous frequency of micronuclei (MN) in newborns from High Level Natural Radiation Areas (HLNRA) and the adjoining Normal Level Radiation Areas (NLNRA) of the monazite-bearing Kerala Coast in Southern West India using Cytochalasin Blocked Micronuclei (CBMN) assay. MATERIALS AND METHODS Human umbilical cord blood samples were colle...
