Ultraviolet light (UV) is thought to have had a major impact on the early evolution of life. UV is absorbed by nucleic acids and produces several types of DNA damage, which interfere with DNA replication and transcription. This damage can result in mutagenesis and cell killing. Several mechanisms fo

We have studied the effect of pentoxifyhe (PTX) on DNA repair after ultraviolet radiation 0 in Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO). DNA repair of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) was measured in the dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) gene and in a downstream nontranscribed genomic region. Pentoxifylli
The heat-shock response is a cellular defence mechanism against environmental stresses that is evolutionarily conserved from bacteria to man. Numerous reports demonstrate the beneficial effects of heat-shock protein induction on cell survival under toxic or oxidative stress, e.g., in cardiac and cer
Plasmid DNA from Bacillus subtilis was introduced into monolayers of human fibroblasts by means of a modification of the calcium phosphate coprecipitation technique, comprising centrifugation of the coprecipitate onto the cells and treatment with polyethyleneglycol.

UV-induced sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) in p53deficient mouse cells were studied to obtain more evidence regarding the involvement of p53 protein in the DNA repair pathway as a checkpoint protein. After 5 J/m2 UV irradiation, mutant-type homozygous cells for p53-deficiency showed the same numbe
