Spontaneous and induced sister chromatid exchange frequencies and cell cycle progression in lymphocytes of patients with carcinoma of the uterine cervix. 1985

S G Adhvaryu, and R C Vyas, and B J Dave, and A H Trivedi, and B N Parikh

Thirteen healthy females and thirteen untreated patients with carcinoma of the uterine cervix were studied for spontaneous and mitomycin C (MMC)-induced rates of sister chromatid exchange (SCE) and cell cycle progression. The mean values of spontaneous as well as MMC-induced SCE rates showed no statistically significant difference between groups. For studying cell cycle progression, cells in the M1, M2, and M3 stages were scored from the same samples. The percent values of cells in these stages, identified by the nature of differential sister chromatid staining, were found to be almost identical in normal as well as MMC-treated cultures in controls and patients. It was concluded that the presence of carcinoma of the uterine cervix in human females has no bearing either on spontaneous and MMC-induced SCE rates or on cell cycle progression in PHA-stimulated cultures of peripheral blood lymphocytes.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell
D008677 Metaphase The phase of cell nucleus division following PROMETAPHASE, in which the CHROMOSOMES line up across the equatorial plane of the SPINDLE APPARATUS prior to separation.
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
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.
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.
