This study evaluates the DNA damage induced by pulsed magnetic field (MF) on S. cerevisiae cells exposed during chronological aging. Samples were exposed to 25 Hz pulsed MF (1.5mT, 8 h/day) while cells were aging chronologically. Clonogenic drop test was used to study cellular survival and the mutation frequency was evaluated by scoring the spontaneous revertant mutants. DNA damage analysis was performed after aging by electrophoresis and image analysis. Yeast cells aged during 40 days of exposure showing that pulsed MF exposure induced a premature aging. In addition, a gradual increase in spontaneous mutants was found in pulsed MF samples in relation to unexposed controls. An increase in DNA degradation, over the background level in relation to controls, was observed at the end of the exposure period. In conclusion, exposure of S. cerevisiae cells to pulsed MF during chronological aging could induce genomic DNA damage.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine). DNA, Double-Stranded,Deoxyribonucleic Acid,ds-DNA,DNA, Double Stranded,Double-Stranded DNA,ds DNA
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
