摘要
Treatments of Chinese hamster V79 cells during one cell cycle with a new type of topoisomerase II inhibitor, ICRF-193, which does not accumulate cleavable topoisomerase-DNA complexes induced both chromosome- and chromatid-type aberrations with high frequencies. Furthermore, ICRF-193 synergistically enhanced the yield of UVB-induced chromatid-type aberrations, chromatid exchanges in particular. Treated with ICRF-193 for the last 3 h before harvest, cells showed frequent incidence of chromatid-type aberrations and synergistic enhancement of UVB-induced chromatid-type aberrations, chromatid exchanges in particular. These results suggest that spontaneous and UVB-induced lesions might be ultimately transformed into chromatid-type aberrations by topoisomerase II-dependent checkpoint process(es) in the G(2) phase of the cell cycle.
