Abstract
|
|
|
|
Unscheduled DNA synthesis, chromosome aberrations, sister chromatid exchanges and DNA replication inhibition induced by the combined treatments with ara-C and UV-light or MMS in $HF_1$, CHO and $HelaS_3$ cells were studied, and the results obtained were as follows: (1) Ara-C was found to inhibit UV-or MMS-induced unscheduled DNA synthesis and the inhibitory effect of ara-C was more remarkable in its post-treatment. (2) Ara-C enhanced the rate of chromosome aberrations induced by MMS or UV-light. Post-treatment with ara-C exhibited the synergistic effect on MMS-induced chromosome aberrations mainly by increases of chromatid deletions. (3) Contrarily, ara-C did not increase the rate of sister chromatid exchanges, particularly in the pre-treatment with MMS, although it was found to induce sister chromatid exchanges. (4) The rate of DNA synthesis was declined immediately after are-C treatment and then recovered. The combined treatments with ara-C and UV-light or MMS showed that the initial response on replication inhibition was similar to that of ara-C, but later responses were similar to that of UV-light or MMS treated group.
