Abstract

The paper deals with the mechanisms of anticlastogenesis protection of chromosomes in cultured human cells, which depend on many external and internal factors and may vary in genetic risk groups and in individuals. It also analyzes the role of repair and metabolic disturbances in the observed inter- and intragroup differences in the efficiency of protective action in model test systems. Results of comparative analysis of the efficiency of various interferons in the cultured cells from patients with bronchial asthma are presented. The paper first provides evidence for attenuated protective effects in the cultured lymphocytes from patients with xeroderma pigmentosum or chronic recurrent urticaria as compared to those from healthy donors. Prospects of and optimal methodological approaches to the study of anticlastogenesis in human cells are discussed.

Suppression of saccharin-induced mutagenicity by interferon-alpha in human RSa cells.

Saccharin is an artificial sweetener commonly used in the formulation of foods and beverages. Sodium saccharin-induced mutagenicity is detectable in human RSa cells by estimation of cloning efficiency of ouabain-resistant mutant cells and determination of K-ras codon 12 mutation in genomic DNA, analyzed by PCR and differential dot-blot hybridization. However, in this study no phenotypic or genetic mutations were detected in RSa cells cultured with human IFN (HuIFN)-alpha before sodium saccharin treatment. The suppressive effect was lessened by transient treatment with antipain immediately after sodium saccharin treatment. Elevation of antipain-sensitive protease activity was found, furthermore, in RSa cells cultured with HuIFN-alpha and subsequently treated with sodium saccharin. Thus, antipain-sensitive protease induction in cells tested here may be involved in suppression of the mutagenicity of saccharin by HuIFN-alpha.

An altered spectrum of herpes simplex virus mutations mediated by an antimutator DNA polymerase.

The mutation spectrum attributable to an antimutator DNA polymerase in a eukaryotic cell was examined. Drug-resistant thymidine kinase (tk) mutants derived from both a wild-type (wt) strain, KOS and an antimutator DNA polymerase (pol) mutant, PAAr5, of herpes simplex virus (HSV), were isolated, and the mutated tk genes were characterized at the sequence level. While both transition and frameshift mutations were found in the mutated tk genes derived from the wt KOS Pol, all the PAAr5-mediated mutants analyzed were frameshift mutations. These results imply that the wt HSV Pol is less faithful than the antimutator enzyme, at least in part, because of its propensity to mediate transition mutations.
