Distribution of phorbol ester TPA-induced structural chromosomal aberrations in HeLa cells. 1990

In order to gain further insight into the mechanism of clastogenic action of the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA), the localization and distribution of structural chromosomal aberrations on HeLa chromosomes was investigated. We have shown by the G-banding technique that TPA-induced chromosomal aberrations in HeLa cells have practically the same distribution as that occurring spontaneously in control cultures. About two-thirds of the breakpoints are located in areas of known fragile sites; about one-third is located in regions near known oncogenes. The tumor promoter TPA thus appears to enhance pre-existing mechanisms of an 'endogeneous' clastogenesis.

D043283 Chromosome Fragile Sites Specific loci that show up during KARYOTYPING as a gap (an uncondensed stretch in closer views) on a CHROMATID arm after culturing cells under specific conditions. These sites are associated with an increase in CHROMOSOME FRAGILITY. They are classified as common or rare, and by the specific culture conditions under which they develop. Fragile site loci are named by the letters "FRA" followed by a designation for the specific chromosome, and a letter which refers to which fragile site of that chromosome (e.g. FRAXA refers to fragile site A on the X chromosome. It is a rare, folic acid-sensitive fragile site associated with FRAGILE X SYNDROME.)
