Chromosome damage and SCE induced by the cytostatic factor homo-aza-steroidal ester of P-bis (2-chloro-ethyl) amino phenyl acetic acid in CHO cells in culture. 1983

K Athanasiou, and N A Demopoulos, and P Catsoulacos

The cytogenetic effects of homo-aza-steroidal ester (ASE) on Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells in vitro are reported. It was found that treatment of cells with a dose as low as 0.025 micrograms/ml of ASE causes a significant number of abnormal metaphases containing mostly chromatid-type aberrations. Similarly, significant frequencies of SCE were induced with only 0.075 micrograms/ml of ASE.

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
D009588 Nitrogen Mustard Compounds A group of alkylating agents derived from mustard gas, with the sulfur replaced by nitrogen. They were formerly used as toxicants and vesicants, but now function as antineoplastic agents. These compounds are also powerful mutagens, teratogens, immunosuppressants, and carcinogens. Compounds, Nitrogen Mustard,Mustard Compounds, Nitrogen
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

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.

D006224 Cricetinae A subfamily in the family MURIDAE, comprising the hamsters. Four of the more common genera are Cricetus, CRICETULUS; MESOCRICETUS; and PHODOPUS. Cricetus,Hamsters,Hamster
