ABSTRACT

A recombinação somática em células diplóides heterozigotas pode atuar como agente promotor de neoplasias por induzir homozigose de genes deletéreos. Por meio desse processo, genes supressores de tumores podem ser completamente suprimidos em células recombinantes. O presente trabalho avaliou a genotoxicidade do detergente derivado do óleo da semente da mamona (Ricinus communis) em células diplóides heterozigotas do fungo filamentoso Aspergillus nidulans. Trabalhos anteriores avaliaram a aplicação dessa solução no tratamento de canais radiculares como líquido irrigador. O potencial recombinagênico desse composto foi estudado pela origem de células homozigotas para os marcadores nutricionais: riboA1, pabaA124, biA1, metA17 e piroA4. A solução, diluída em 1:40, 1:20 e 1:10, induziu alterações morfológicas e atraso no desenvolvimento dos conidióforos da linhagem UT448//UT196 e aumento nas freqüências de recombinação mitótica. Embora trabalhos anteriores relatem a atividade antimicrobiana da solução em estudo, nossos resultados evidenciam a citotoxicidade e o potencial recombinagênico dessa substância.

ABSTRACT

Somatic recombination in heterozygous diploid cells may be a promotional agent of neoplasms by inducing homozygosity of defective genes. Tumor suppressor genes may in this way be completely suppressed in recombinant cells. In this work, the genotoxic effects of detergent derived from the castor oil plant (Ricinus communis) in heterozygous diploid cells of Aspergillus nidulans are evaluated. Previous studies have evaluated the application of this substance in endodontic treatments as an irrigating solution. The recombinogenic potential of the compound has been studied through the production of homozygous cells for nutritional markers riboA1, pabaA124, biA1, methA17, and pyroA4. Detergent was diluted to 1:10, 1:20, and 1:40, and morphologic alterations, delay in conidiophore development, and mitotic recombination occurrence were reported for the three dilutions. Although past studies have demonstrated the antimicrobial action of the detergent under analysis, our results revealed its cytotoxic effects and recombinogenic potential.
