Chlorophyllin (Chln), a sodium-copper salt derivative of chlorophyll, like chlorophyll-a and -b found in green plants, has been studied for its protective action against the carcinogenic effects of various physical and chemical agents and in relation to the mutagenic and clastogenic activities of genotoxic agents. The aim of the present study was to evaluate chlorophyllin in different phases of the cell cycle for clastogenicity and anticlastogenicity, the latter in reversing DNA damage induced by ethyl methane sulfonate (EMS). The test for chromosomal aberrations was performed in cultured mammalian cells (CHO-K1). The three Chln concentrations tested (6.25, 12.5 and 25 microg/ml) were not clastogenic and damage induced by EMS (1240 microg/ml) was reduced in cells treated with Chln as well during S (25-48%) and G2/S (70-80%). The results demonstrate a greater protective effectiveness of Chln against EMS during G2/S.

D002453 Cell Cycle The complex series of phenomena, occurring between the end of one CELL DIVISION and the end of the next, by which cellular material is duplicated and then divided between two daughter cells. The cell cycle includes INTERPHASE, which includes G0 PHASE; G1 PHASE; S PHASE; and G2 PHASE, and CELL DIVISION PHASE.

D002478 Cells, Cultured Cells propagated in vitro in special media conducive to their growth. Cultured cells are used to study developmental, morphologic, metabolic, physiologic, and genetic processes, among others. Cultured Cells,Cell, Cultured,Cultured Cell
D002735 Chlorophyllides Products of the hydrolysis of chlorophylls in which the phytic acid side chain has been removed and the carboxylic acids saponified. Chlorophyllide
D004249 DNA Damage Injuries to DNA that introduce deviations from its normal, intact structure and which may, if left unrepaired, result in a MUTATION or a block of DNA REPLICATION. These deviations may be caused by physical or chemical agents and occur by natural or unnatural, introduced circumstances. They include the introduction of illegitimate bases during replication or by deamination or other modification of bases; the loss of a base from the DNA backbone leaving an abasic site; single-strand breaks; double strand breaks; and intrastrand (PYRIMIDINE DIMERS) or interstrand crosslinking. Damage can often be repaired (DNA REPAIR). If the damage is extensive, it can induce APOPTOSIS. DNA Injury,DNA Lesion,DNA Lesions,Genotoxic Stress,Stress, Genotoxic,Injury, DNA,DNA Injuries
