Sensitivity to DNA-damaging agents and mutation induction by UV light in UV-sensitive CHO cells. 1986

M Stefanini, and C Mondello, and L Tessera, and V Capuano, and B R Guerra, and F Nuzzo

Three UV-sensitive (UVs) mutants isolated from a CHO cell line were analyzed for survival after exposure to H2O2, EMS, MMC, CCNU, X-rays and for mutation induction after UV-irradiation. The UVs mutants showed normal sensitivities to EMS and H2O2, whereas they were hypersensitive to the bifunctional alkylating agents MMC and CCNU and to hypoxic X-irradiation. Compared to parental cells, one of the UV-sensitive clones showed approximately 3- and 7-fold enhancement in the mutagenic response per unit UV dose for 6-thioguanine and ouabain resistance, respectively.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008130 Lomustine An alkylating agent of value against both hematologic malignancies and solid tumors. CCNU,Belustine,Cecenu,CeeNU,NSC-79037,NSC 79037,NSC79037
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.
D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations
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
