  • The action mechanism of the inhibitory effect of some natural products on the DNA strand break and DNA damage was investigated in vitro and in vivo. In the E. coli chromosomal DNA strand break experiment in vitro, three mushroom water extracts were effective on the DNA strand breaking by daunorubicin. Phellinus linteus water extract inactivated daunorubicin, a DNA strand breaking agent, but did not protect DNA from daunorubicin-induced DNA strand breaking. Agaricus blazei water extract inhibited DNA strand breaking action of daunorubicin not only by daunorubicin inactivation, but also by DNA protection from daunorubicin. An inhibitory effect of Ganoderma lucidum water extract on the DNA strand break was based on the DNA protection rather than daunorubicin inactivation. In vivo mutagen assay system (SOS-chromotest), among three mushroom water extracts Phellinus linteus water extract was the most effective one on the inhibition of DNA damage by 4-NQO. The results suggest that all three mushroom water extracts inhibit daunorubicin-induced DNA damage and in vivo DNA damaging action of 4-NQO by the reaction of mutagen inactivation or DNA protection from the mutagen.

  • Background: Evaluation of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-strand break is important to elucidate the biological effect of ionizing radiations. The conventional methods for DNA-strand break evaluation have been achieved by Agarose gel electrophoresis and others using an electrical property of DNAs. Such kinds of DNA-strand break evaluation systems can estimate DNA-strand break, according to a molecular weight of DNAs. However, the conventional method needs pretreatment of the sample and a relatively long period for analysis. They do not have enough sensitivity to detect the strand break products in the low-dose region. Materials and Methods: The sample is water, methanol and plasmid DNA solution. The plasmid DNA pUC118 was multiplied by using Escherichia coli JM109 competent cells. The resonance frequency and Q-value were measured by means of microwave dielectric absorption spectroscopy. When a sample is located at a center of the electric field, resonance curve of the frequency that existed as a standing wave is disturbed. As a result, the perturbation effect to perform a resonance with different frequency is adopted. Results and Discussion: The resonance frequency shifted to higher frequency with an increase in a concentration of methanol as the model of the biological material, and the Q-value decreased. The absorption peak in microwave power spectrum of the double-strand break plasmid DNA shifted from the non-damaged plasmid DNA. Moreover, the sharpness of absorption peak changed resulting in change in Q-value. We confirmed that a resonance frequency shifted to higher frequency with an increase in concentration of the plasmid DNA. Conclusion: We developed a new technique for an evaluation of DNA damage. In this paper, we report the evaluation method of DNA damage using microwave dielectric absorption spectroscopy.

  • Single-cell gel electrophoresis (comet assay) was used to detect DNA single strand break in blood cells from several marine fish species. Three fish species were collected from Georgia coastal area. Mummichog, Fundulus heteroclitus showed higher DNA damage than sea bass, Lateolabrax japonicus and trout, Oncorhynchus masou masou under the same experimental conditions. Mummichogs had more alkaline-labile sites on their DNA than other fish species. The comet assay with mummichog blood cells at pH 12.5 showed a dose-response curve with the increasing concentrations of hydrogen peroxide. While the isolated leucocytes showed no increase of DNA damage after in vitro exposure to 2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone (MNQ), erythrocytes showed dose-dependent DNA damage. These results indicate that the comet assay can be applied successfully as a bioassay using erythrocyte for environmental monitoring.

  • Filter elution 방법으로 EL 4백서 백혈병 세포 및 C57BL/6백서 유래의 비장 임파구에 대한 Co-60 $\gamma$ 선의 DNA single-strand breaks (SSB) 효과를 정량적으로 측정하였다. 임파구는 [${^3}H$]thymidine을 표지하기 위하여lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 20 $\mug/ml$)를 첨가하여 자극하고 부유 상태의 EL 4 세포 및 임파구를 $0^{\circ}C$에서 0 Gy, 1 Gy, 5 Gy, 10 Gy 또는 15 Gy조사하였으며, elution용액의 pH는 12.1로 하였다. $\gamma$ 선 조사에 따른 single-strand breaks의 수는 방사선 조사량에 따라 증가 하였으며 21 ml elution 양을 기준으로 한 strand scission factor (SSF)는 EL 4 세포에서 $0.01301\pm0.00096\;Gy^{-1}(n=5)$이었고, 임파구는 $0.01097\pm0.00091\;Gy^{-1}(n=5)$를 나타내므로 본 실험에서는 EL 4 세포가 정상 임파구에 비하여 방사선에 의한 DNA SSB가 민감함을 알 수 있었다(p<0.005). 본 연구 결과 DNA strand breaks의 측정법을 이용하여 방사선의 특성 및 생물학적 효과의 파악은 물론 나아가 기존의 방호제 및 새로운 약제의 DNA에 대한 효과를 판별할 수 있을 것이다.

  • DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs), a member of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-related kinase family is a well-known player in repairing DNA double-strand break through non-homologous end joining pathway. This mechanism has allowed us to understand its critical role in T and B cell development through V(D)J recombination and class switch recombination, respectively. We have also learned that the defects in these mechanisms lead to the severely combined immunodeficiency (SCID). Here we highlight some of the latest evidence where DNA-PKcs has been shown to localize not only in the nucleus but also in the cytoplasm, phosphorylating various proteins involved in cellular metabolism and cytokine production. While it is an exciting time to unveil novel functions of DNA-PKcs, one should carefully choose experimental models to study DNA-PKcs as the experimental evidence has been shown to differ between cells of defective DNA-PKcs and those of DNA-PKcs knockout. Moreover, while there are several DNA-PK inhibitors currently being evaluated in the clinical trials in an attempt to increase the efficacy of radiotherapy or chemotherapy, multiple functions and subcellular localization of DNA-PKcs in various types of cells may further complicate the effects at the cellular and organismal level.

  • Phthalate analogues are a plasticizer and solvent used in industry and were reported to be a potential carcinogen classified in the category of suspected endocrine disruptors. Most common human exposure to these compounds may occur with contaminated food. They may migrate into food from plastic wrap or may enter food from general environmental contamination. Since these substances are not limited to the original products, and enter the environment, they have become widespread environmental pollutants, thus leading to a variety of phthalates that possibly threaten the public health. To determine whether seven phthalate analogues i.e. diallyl phthalate, diisodecyl phthalate, di-n-nonyl phthalate, butyl benzyl phthalate, di-n-octyl phthalate, di-tridecyl phthalate, and dibutyl phthalate, can induce DNA strand breakage that is one of the various factors related to the mechanism of carcinogenicity, the comet assay which has been widely used for the detection and measurement of DNA strand breaks, was conducted in L5178Y mouse lymphoma cells. From these results, seven phthalates revealed dose-dependent decrease of cell viability, however, no remarkable cytotoxicity was observed even at high concentration of 100 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ phthalates. And also, the results showed that the induction of DNA strand breaks by seven phthalates was not significantly different from the control in this study.

  • DNA damage responses are important for the maintenance of genome stability and the survival of organisms. Such responses are activated in the presence of DNA damage and lead to cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, and DNA repair. In Caenorhabditis elegans, double-strand breaks induced by DNA damaging agents have been detected indirectly by antibodies against DSB recognizing proteins. In this study we used a comet assay to detect DNA strand breaks and to measure the elimination of DNA strand breaks in mitotic germline nuclei of C. elegans. We found that C. elegans brc-1 mutants were more sensitive to ionizing radiation and camptothecin than the N2 wild-type strain and repaired DNA strand breaks less efficiently than N2. This study is the first demonstration of direct measurement of DNA strand breaks in mitotic germline nuclei of C. elegans. This newly developed assay can be applied to detect DNA strand breaks in different C. elegans mutants that are sensitive to DNA damaging agents.

  • 각 방사선량의 조사에 따른 사람 정상임파구, 마우스 정상임파구, 그리고 EL-4마우스 백혈병 세포의 DNA double strand breaks 발생율에 대하여 비교분석 하였던 바 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. LPS와 PHA를 첨가하여 각각 배양한 마우스 정상임파구의 DNA double strand breaks의발생율을 strand scission factor의 기울기로 비교평가해 본 바 LPS를 첨가배양한 군이 DNA DSB가 더 많이 형성되었다(P<0.005). 이것으로 볼 때 DNA double strand breaks발생에 있어서는 B cells이 T cells보다 더 민감하였다. 또한 EL-4 백혈병 세포는 정상 임파구보다 유의하게 DNA DSB가 더 많이 형성된 것이 관찰되었다(p<0.005). 한편 사람 정상임파구와 마우스 정상임파구 사이의 intrinsic radiosensitivity는 시험관내 실험에서 비교적 유사한 kinetics를 나타냈으나, 마우스 정상임파구가 사람 정상임파구보다 DNA DSB수율이 더 낮았다. 그래서 방사선을 조사하고 3.5시간이 지난후에 $10\%$ DNA DSB발생에 필요한 선량을 두 군간에 비교평가해 본 바 마우스 정상임파구의 선량이 더 높게 나타났다. 이상의 실험결과를 정확하게 설명하기는 어 렵지만 아마도 환경적인 요인과 유전적인 요인 때문인 것으로 사료되었다. 그리고 본 연구결과는 방사선조사에 따른 임상반응의 이해와 cytometric assessment의 방사선 생물학적 parameter로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.

  • During meiosis I, programmed DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) occur to promote chromosome pairing and recombination between homologs. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Mec1 and Tel1, the orthologs of human ATR and ATM, respectively, regulate events upstream of the cell cycle checkpoint to initiate DNA repair. Tel1ATM and Mec1ATR are required for phosphorylating various meiotic proteins during recombination. This study aimed to investigate the role of Tel1ATM and Mec1ATR in meiotic prophase via physical analysis of recombination. Tel1ATM cooperated with Mec1ATR to mediate DSB-to-single end invasion transition, but negatively regulated DSB formation. Furthermore, Mec1ATR was required for the formation of interhomolog joint molecules from early prophase, thus establishing a recombination partner choice. Moreover, Mec1ATR specifically promoted crossover-fated DSB repair. Together, these results suggest that Tel1ATM and Mec1ATR function redundantly or independently in all post-DSB stages.
