Objective To analyze the effect of yeast TEL1 gene expression in human A-T (ataxia-telangiectasia) cells on chromosome aberration induced by radiation. Methods Yeast TEL1 gene (TEL1rep),TEL1 fragment (deltaTELrep),pRep5 vector were stably transfected into A-T cells and pRep5 vector was stably transfected into GM639 cells.respectively.The stably transfected A-T and GM639 cells,namely,AT-TEL1,AT-deltaTEL1,AT-0rep,GM-rep,were grown selectively in Dulbecco's minimal essential medium (DMEM) containing 100 μgml hygromycin,while non-transfected A-T and GM639 cells were grown in DMEM containing 15%-20% FBS. 60Co γ-rays were used to irradiate the above cells at exponential phase.The irradiation dose was 0,1,3 Gy,respectively.A hundred metaphases were analyzed for microscopically detectable chromosome type and chromatid type aberrations. Results The chromosome numbers of all transfected,and non-transfected A-T,GM639 fobroblasts were aneuploid.Both spontaneous and radiation-induced chromosome aberration frequencies of A-T cells were higher than those of GM639 control cells.There is no significant difference in the spontaneous chromosome aberration between TEL1 gene stably transfected A-T cells (AT-TEL1) and non-transfected A-T cells (P>0.05).Chromosome aberration frequencies induced by radiation in A-TTEL1 cells were significantly lower than those of A-T cells (P<0.01).However,chromosome aberration frequencies induced by radiation in AT-deltaTEL1 and AT-rep cells were higher than those of A-T cells. Conclusion The expression of yeast TEL1 gene in human A-T cells can significantly decrease the chromosome aberration frequencies induced by radiation. |
