This study was performed to investigate the applicability of 9 chromosome aberration and sister chromatid exchange analysis for the assessment of cytotoxicity and cytogenetic effects of cadmium. Induction of chromosome aberration and sister chromatid exchange in CHO-K1 cells and human peripheral lymphocytes by 2 hour-treatment of CdCl$_{2}$ with various concentrations was observed in relation to their frequencies and types of aberration. The frequency of chromosome aberration in CHO cells treated with CdCl$+{2}$ at G$_{1}$ was increased with dose-dependent manner. When human peripheral lymphocytes were treated with cadmium at G0 and harvested at 72 hours there after, the response was dose-dependent and all the aberrations were also chromatid types. There was no significant increase in frequencies of sister chromatid exchange in both CHO cells and human lymphocytes treated with different concentrations of cadmium. It was suggested that SCE analysis was not a good assessment method for cadmium toxicity.

In order to examine the mutagenicity of cadmium dichloride the author studied the induction of sister chromatid exchanges in chinese hamster ovary $K_1$ cells which treated with cadmium dichloride at various concentrations. The results obtained were as follows : 1. In cells treated with $10^{-4}M$ cadmium dichloride, a small number of cells were viable but no mitosis was bound. 2. The frequencies of sister chromatid exchanges in cells treated with $10^{-5}M\;and\;10^{-6}M$ cadmium dichloride as $10.7{\pm}1.9\;and\;8.3{\pm}2.1$, respectively, were significantly increased for control ($6.0{\pm}2.3$). (P<0.05). 3. There were dose-dependent relationship between the concentration of cadmium dichloride and frequency of sister chromatid exchanges in cells treated with cadmium dichloride at concentration ranging from $10^{-5}\;to\;10^{-7}M$.

The frequencies of chromosome aberrations and sister chromatid-exchanges in peripheral blood lymphocyte of 44 nurses handling anticancer drugs were compared with those in 44 age-match controls. The frequencies of dicentric chrdmosome were $2.4\times 10^{-3}$ in the exposed and $0.5\times 10^{-3}$ in the control. The frequencies of sister cromatid exchanges in the exposed were slightly higher (5.68 SCEs/cell) than those in the control (5.04 SCEs/cell). The frequencies of chromosome aberrations and sister cromatid exchanges were not associated with duration of drug handling and types of anticancer drugs, but associated with use of safety cover.

The present experiment was carried out to examine the mechanism of cytotoxicity of Chromium in CHO cells. Chromium induced chromosomal aberrations in a dose-dependent manner. The most frequent type of aberration was chromatid deletions and chromosome type exchanges were also observed. Ultrafiltrates of culture media from CHO cells treated with Chromium induced sister chromatid exchanges(SCE) in CHO cells and Chromium induced lipid peroxidation. It was suggested that indirect effect through formation of clastogenic factor(CF) as well as direct effect on DNA might contribute to the cytotoxicity of Chromium.

돌연변이 유발 물질인 mitomycin C(MMC)를 처리하여 배양한 Chinese hamster ovary(CHO) cell에 대한 감잎차 추출액의 항돌연변이 효과를 자매 염색 분체 교환(sister chromatid exchange, SCE) 시험법을 사용하여 측정하여 보았다. 감잎차 추출액 자체는 CHO 세포의 SCE 빈도수를 변화시키지 않았으며, 세포의 분열 주기중 S phase에 S9 mixture 없이 감잎차 추출액이 처리되었을 경우 MMC로 유도된 SCE 빈도수를 감소시키지 않았다. 그러나 S9 mixture 존재하에 $G_{1}$ phase에서 MMC 처리 후 감잎차를 처리하는 후처리 방식으로 감잎차 추출액을 처리하였을 때, 저농도($\leq$40$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml)에서 MMC로 인해 유발된 SCE 빈도수가 낮아지는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 이에 비해 고농도(>40$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml)에서는 SCE 빈도수의 감소 효과가 없었다. 본 연구결과, MMC 처리된 CHO 세포에 대한 감잎차 추출액의 항돌연변이 효과를 볼 수 있었고, 이 효과는 S9 mixture 존재하에서 저농도의 감잎차 추출액이 $G_{1}$ phase에 처리되었을 때 나타났다. 감잎차 추출액의 이러한 항돌연변이의 효과의 기전은 감잎차 추출액의 대사산물이 MMC 처리된 CHO 세포에 대한 DNA-excision repair activity를 촉진시키기 때문인 것으로 생각된다.

Sister chromatid exchanges(SCE) in peripheral lymphocytes is recently used as a biomarker for increased cytogenetic damage in smokers. The purpose of the investigation was to determine if there were any relationships between dietary factors and their DNA damage as measured by SCE test in a group of 62 male cigarette smokers and 36 non-smokers. As expected, smokers as compared with non-smokers had high SCE levels (10.59$\pm$0.21 versus 9.23$\pm$0.17 SCE/lymphocytes ; p<0.05). No significant relationships were observed between SCEs and age in smokers and non-smokers. In smokers, SCEs were negatively correlated with egg frequency score(r=-0.336) and total food frequency scores(r=-0.283). In non-smokers, SCEs were positively correlated with white vegetable frequency score(r=0.333) and instant food frequency score(r=0.382). There was a positive association between SCEs and the history of coffee intake of smokers(r=0.318). SCE frequency was not influenced by any other dietary factors considered ; dietary diversity and quality scores, alcohol consumption, use of processed foods and intake of burned food. No significant relationships were found between SCEs and serum cholesterol or other hematological parameters of the subjects. These results indicate that increased egg frequency score, total food frequency score which reflects dietary quality, and decreased coffee intake may reduce cancer risk by preventing smoking-induced DNA damage as reflected by sister chromatid exchanges in human lymphocytes.

Endocrine disruptors have been implicated in carcinogenesis in animal studies, but carcinogenetic effects on human remain controversial. In order to examine the genotoxicity of two common endocrine disruptors, Bisphenol A and Diethylstilbestrol, cytogenetic endpoints including chromosome aberration (CA), sister chromatid exchange (SCE), micronuclei (MN) analyses and DNA damage by single cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE) were assessed. The effects of Bisphenol A and Diethylstilbestrol on the frequencies of CA and MN were increased in a dose-dependent manner and that of Bispheol A was more significant by Kendall'$\tau$test. Bisphenol A and Diethylstilbestrol also increased the frequency of SCE. Bisphenol A and Diethylstilbestrol induced DNA damage in a dose-dependent manner and the DNA damage induced by Diethylstilbestrol in human blood lymphocytes was more significant.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects on sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) and chromosome aberrations in PHA or LPS stimulated mouse spleen and bone marrow lymphocytes after an acute whole body irradiation. Frequencies of sister chromatid exchanges were significantly increased with the increased dose(from zero to 400tad) but there was no differences between B-cell and T-cell. By times, the maximum induced SCE levels was observed at 12 hours after irradiation and then returned to base level at one day in 100rad group and three day in 400rad group. There was a significant difference in chromosome aberration with increasing exposure. X-ray irradiated chromosome aberration was long lived relative to SCE. This results show that counting the incidence of SCE may not provide a sensitive system for detecting X-ray exposure.
