Sister chromatid exchanges and cell cycle kinetics in Alzheimer's disease. 1984

H K Fischman, and B Reisberg, and P Albu, and S H Ferris, and J D Rainer

Six female outpatients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) along with four female controls of a similar age range were analyzed for sister chromatid exchangers (SCEs), cell cycle kinetics, and sensitivity to mutagens, in lymphocyte cultures. The mean level of SCEs for the AD patients was 11.40 SCEs/metaphase, while that for the controls was 9.12. The difference between the two groups was significant as shown by the Wilcoxon rank-sum test (p = 0.05). Cell cycle was 50% longer both in the AD patients (31.7 hr) and aged controls (31.5 hr) than in normal young adults (21.76 hr). Mitomycin-C (MMC) decreased the mitotic index in AD patients by 35% and in controls by only 12%. MMC also increased the cell cycle duration in AD patients by a greater extent (20%) than it did in the controls (13.5%), and AD cells were more sensitive to the toxic effects of bromodeoxyuridine. What appeared to be chromosomes with prematurely divided centromeres were also observed in AD cells.

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
D001973 Bromodeoxyuridine A nucleoside that substitutes for thymidine in DNA and thus acts as an antimetabolite. It causes breaks in chromosomes and has been proposed as an antiviral and antineoplastic agent. It has been given orphan drug status for use in the treatment of primary brain tumors.

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.

D003434 Crossing Over, Genetic The reciprocal exchange of segments at corresponding positions along pairs of homologous CHROMOSOMES by symmetrical breakage and crosswise rejoining forming cross-over sites (HOLLIDAY JUNCTIONS) that are resolved during CHROMOSOME SEGREGATION. Crossing-over typically occurs during MEIOSIS but it may also occur in the absence of meiosis, for example, with bacterial chromosomes, organelle chromosomes, or somatic cell nuclear chromosomes.
