ABSTRACT
To investigate fragile sites induced by aphidicolin which is a specific inhibitor of eukaryotic DNA polymerase a which is primarily associated with chromosomal DNA replication in human lymphocytes, HaCat cells (human keratinocytes) and MRC-5 cells (human embryonic lung fibroblast), we cultured each cells in RPMI 1640 with 10% fetal calf serum and 2% PHA. Treatment of the cells with aphidicolin was generally carried out for the last 24 hours of culturing. The drug was dissolved in DMSO and used at final concentrations of 0.05~0.15 mg/ml, corresponding to a maximum DMSO concentration of 0.028%. Karyotypes of each cells were performed by routine method, and 50 metaphases were scored for each culture for analysis of breakage rate. Experimental cells treated with APC showed a dose dependent sensitivity and the amounts of chromosome breakage induced by APC are the highest in concentration of 0.15 mg/ml. The frequency of fragile sites on each cells appeared in MRC-5 cells, lymphocytes and HaCat cells in order. The common fragile sites on all experiments was 16q23, and the common fragile sites on embryonic cells was 1p31. It can be concluded that gene or nucleic acid which is located on 16q23 is the most important factor to induce chromosomal breakage with sensitivity to aphidicolin and 1p31 is important site to induce chromosomal breakage in embryonal cells.
