Department of Biology, University of Patras, Greece.

The effect of different 1,3-butadiene (BD) inhalation doses, 130, 250, and 500 ppm, on somatic cells of mice was studied. Two different cell populations with diverse replicative and differentiative activities, namely splenocytes and peripheral blood reticulocytes, were examined and micronucleus (MN) frequencies were estimated. In splenocytes, different postinhalation time intervals were studied with regard to MN induction and characterisation. BD was found to be clastogenic by inducing increased micronucleus frequencies in both cell compartments and also to induce cytotoxicity at the highest level of exposure. In mouse splenocytes, BD has also shown a weak aneugenic effect at a short time interval after the exposure. Postinhalation time influences the induction of chromosome damage in stimulated splenocytes treated in vivo, since MN frequency decreases with time; in addition, BD has shown its aneugenic and cytotoxic potential only at 2 days after exposure.

D012156 Reticulocytes Immature ERYTHROCYTES. In humans, these are ERYTHROID CELLS that have just undergone extrusion of their CELL NUCLEUS. They still contain some organelles that gradually decrease in number as the cells mature. RIBOSOMES are last to disappear. Certain staining techniques cause components of the ribosomes to precipitate into characteristic "reticulum" (not the same as the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM), hence the name reticulocytes. Reticulocyte

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
