✦ Synopsis

Cocultivation of fibroblast cells from a male patient with Bloom syndrome (BS) and a female control reduced the rate of sister chromatid exchanges in the BS cells from a mean of 54 SCE per metaphase (range 42--65) to 41 (range 24--59). Medium used to culture control cells for 48 h also reduced the rate of SCE (from 40--65 to 33-54), whereas medium used for only 24 h altered the SCE rate only slightly (to 39--61). Dialyzed medium concentrate with molecular cutoff at 15,000 did not alter the SCE rate. These initial studies suggest that normal cells produce an agent, presumably lacking in BS cells, that is capable of mitigating the chromosomal manifestation of the BS mutation (bl) in bl/bl cells.

The effect of co-cultivation of Bloom's syndrome fibroblasts with Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO) on the incidence of sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) was studied. The results show that suppression of the frequency of SCEs in Bloom's syndrome cells occurs only if cell to cell contact is present w

It is suggested that the somatic recombination observed in Bloom's syndrome and cells treated with mitomycin C may be the result of selection for recombination events that can occur only between homologous segments of DNA, rather than a result of somatic pairing in the nucleus.

Bloom's syndrome (BS) and EM9 cells both display elevated frequencies of sister chromatid exchange (SCE) following growth for two rounds of DNA replication in bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU)-containing medium. To learn whether hyperresponsiveness to BrdU itself might play a role in causing the SCE elevatio
