Abstract

A single intramedullary administration of each dose (15 approximately 20 mg) of 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide, 3-methylcholanthrene, or 7,12-dimethylbenz[alpha]anthracene was applied to the mandible, diaphysis, or distal metaphysis of the femur of rabbits. The highest incidence in production of osteosarcoma was obtained from the group in which 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide was applied to the distal metaphysis (75%, including one case of chondrosarcoma). Tumors hardly appeared in any of the groups when given 3-methylcholanthrene or 7,12-dimethylbenz[alpha]anthracene. Histologically, three kinds of entities were recognized from the quantitative difference of the reactive tissues which appeared around carcinogens. It is estimated that the condition of entity III induces the highest incidence of osteosarcoma if chemical carcinogens are given into the bone marrow of experimental animals.

Further characterization of a cell-free system for measuring replicative and repair DNA synthesis with cultured human fibroblasts and evidence for the involvement of DNA polymerase alpha in DNA repair.

DNA repair synthesis can be specifically measured in osmotically opened, confluent cultured human fibroblasts after exposure to DNA damaging agents such that both induction and mediation of DNA repair synthesis can take place in this cell-free system. Alternatively, by utilizing osmotically shocked, log phase cells and altering the DNA precursors, pH and ionic strength, replicative DNA synthesis can be specifically monitored. Autoradiographic studies show that virtually all of the nuclei from the lysates of the confluent, UV-iradiated cells are lightly labeled in the fashion characteristic of DNA repair. By contrast, only a fraction of nuclei is labeled in a population of unperturbed, opened log phase cells and the labeling is heavy and characteristic of replicative synthesis. Furthermore, equilibrium density gradient sedimentation shows that DNA synthesis in lysates of log-phase cells is semiconservative, whereas that with UV-irradiated cells is repair synthesis. This open cell system has been used to study the enzymology of DNA repair. Thus, dideoxythymidine triphosphate, a specific inhibitor of DNA polymerases beta and gamma, does not inhibit either replicative or repair synthesis. By contrast, aphidicolin, a specific inhibitor of DNA polymerase alpha, inhibits DNA repair and replicative synthesis in both intact and permeabilized cells. Finally, phage T4 UV-exonuclease stimulates repair synthesis, but only when phage T4 UV-endonuclease is also added to the UV-irradiated nuclei.

Interactions of 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide with deoxyribodinucleotides.

The interactions of 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide (NQO), a potent mutagen and carcinogen, with several self- and non-self-complementary deoxydinucleotides were probed by using absorption spectra of the charge transfer bands and 1H and 13C NMR spectra. Absorption spectra were analyzed by using Benesi-Hildebrand-type equations to yield stoichiometries and equilibrium constants of complex formation. Non-self complementary dimers form weak l:1 complexes [dpTpG:NQO, K(25 degrees C) = 22 M-1] while self-complementary dimers form strong 2:1 complexes [dpCpG)2:NQO, K(25 degrees C) = 2.2 X 10(4) M-2]. A mixture of dpTpG and dpCpA with NQO gives a 2:1 complexes [dpCpG)2:NQO, K(25 degrees C) = 2.2 X 10(4) M-2]. A mixture of dpTpG and dpCpA, K(25 degrees C) = 8.6 X 10(3) M-2]. Analyses of the changes in 13C and 1H NMR chemical shifts with complex formation gave approximate orientations for the intercalation of NQO with self-complementary dimer minihelixes. In the (dpCpG)2:NQO and (dpGpC)2:NQO complexes, the NO2 group of NQO probably lies in the major grove and the NO2, NO containing NQO ring is stacked near the purine imidazole ring. In the (dpTpA)2:NQO and (dpApT)2NQO complexes, the NO2 seems to project into the minor grove and the NQO benzenoid ring is over the purine imidazole ring.

Evidence that induction and suppression of mutations and recombinations by chemical mutagens in S. cerevisiae during mitosis are jointly correlated.

Mutagen-induced intergenic and interallelic recombination as well as forward mutation were studied in one and the same strain of S. cerevisiae. In nontoxic dose ranges, the induction of mutants and recombinants was parallel after treatment with ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS), methyl methanesulfonate (MMS), N-methyl-N'-nitro-M-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG), triethylene melamine (TEM), 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide (4-NQO), sodium nitrite (NaNO2), and 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (2,4-DNFB). Acridine orange (AO) after treatment without light induced recombinants, but reduced the frequency of spontaneous mutations. In combination with TEM, AO exerted the same effect, i.e., reduced its mutagenic effect and enhanced its recombinogenic effect. 4,5,6-Trichloro-2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy) phenol (Cl5-predioxin) induced mutants and intergenic recombinants, but specifically reduced the spontaneous frequency of interallelic recombinants. In combination with TEM, it enhanced its mutagenic and intergenic recombinogenic effects but reduced its interallelic recombinogenic effect. The main conclusions of the present study, that is 1. Essentially similar lesions can lead to different genetic consequences, and 2. Induction of mutation and recombination are jointly correlated, i.e., suppression of mutations leads to an enhancement of recombinations, while suppression of recombinations leads to an enhancement of mutations, are used to set up a speculative concept for mutation and recombination induction in the diploid yeast cell during mitosis.
