In this work, we analyzed the aphidicolin-sensitive common fragile sites in seven females and four males occupationally exposed to pesticides and in ten controls. The same males had been monitored one year earlier in a previous study by the same authors. Results showed enhanced expression in exposed
Chromosome fragile sites are inducible by aphidicolin in cultured human lymphocytes. To assess the frequency and distribution of these common fragile sites in the general population, a cytogenetic survey was performed on 126 subjects, 59 males and 67 females, whose age ranged from 1 day to 72 years.
Aphidicolin, a specific inhibitor of DNA polymerase alpha, is known to induce chromosomal aberrations. At concentrations that did not greatly affect mitotic index, aphidicolin induced a striking number of chromosome gaps and breaks distributed in a highly nonrandom manner in cultured human lymphocyt
The capacities for fragile site induction of three inhibitors of semiconservative DNA synthesis and DNA repair synthesis, aphidicolin, arabinofuranosyl cytosine, and arabinofuranosyl adenosine were compared. Aphidicolin is known to induce type 4 fragile sites, the largest recognized group of common
The effect of ethanol on the frequency of aphidicolin-induced common fragile sites was studied using lymphocyte cultures from two normal women. Aphidicolin was added to the cultures at a final concentration of 0.2 microM and ethanol at 0.02%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.5%, and 1%, both during the last 26 h of cu
