Ethanol itself did not induce any apparent chromosome aberrations in Chinese hamster ovary cells. However, posttreatment with ethanol potentiated the chromosome aberrations induced by ultraviolet light (UV), methyl methanesulfonate (MMS), mitomycin C (MMC) or bleomycin (BLM). Chromatid exchanges were predominantly increased in cultures treated with UV, MMS or MMC and then with ethanol, whereas chromosome breaks and chromatid exchange were the major types of aberrations increased in the cultures treated with BLM and ethanol. Posttreatment with acetaldehyde, the major metabolite of ethanol, also potentiated the chromosome aberrations induced by UV, MMS, MMC or BLM. The main types of aberrations potentiated by posttreatment with acetaldehyde were similar to those by posttreatment with ethanol.

D008741 Methyl Methanesulfonate An alkylating agent in cancer therapy that may also act as a mutagen by interfering with and causing damage to DNA. Methylmethane Sulfonate,Dimethylsulfonate,Mesilate, Methyl,Methyl Mesylate,Methyl Methylenesulfonate,Methylmesilate,Mesylate, Methyl,Methanesulfonate, Methyl,Methyl Mesilate
D008937 Mitomycins A group of methylazirinopyrroloindolediones obtained from certain Streptomyces strains. They are very toxic antibiotics used as ANTINEOPLASTIC AGENTS in some solid tumors. PORFIROMYCIN and MITOMYCIN are the most useful members of the group.
D009153 Mutagens Chemical agents that increase the rate of genetic mutation by interfering with the function of nucleic acids. A clastogen is a specific mutagen that causes breaks in chromosomes. Clastogen,Clastogens,Genotoxin,Genotoxins,Mutagen
D010053 Ovary The reproductive organ (GONADS) in female animals. In vertebrates, the ovary contains two functional parts: the OVARIAN FOLLICLE for the production of female germ cells (OOGENESIS); and the endocrine cells (GRANULOSA CELLS; THECA CELLS; and LUTEAL CELLS) for the production of ESTROGENS and PROGESTERONE. Ovaries
D001761 Bleomycin A complex of related glycopeptide antibiotics from Streptomyces verticillus consisting of bleomycin A2 and B2. It inhibits DNA metabolism and is used as an antineoplastic, especially for solid tumors.
