TL;DR: The frequency of sister-chromatid exchanges in human lymphocytes cultured in vitro was not changed after a 30-min exposure to a 2 MHz focused, diagnostic ultrasound beam with a pulse repetition rate of 1000 Hz.

TL;DR: A comparison of Vicia-faba-root S10 with rat-liver S9 was made in their capacity to bring about, in vitro, the metabolic activation of ethanol, maleic hydrazide and cyclophosphamide that can lead to the induction of sister-chromatid exchanges (SCEs) in CHO cells.
Abstract: A comparison of Vicia-faba -root S10 with rat-liver S9 was made in their capacity to bring about, in vitro, the metabolic activation of ethanol, maleic hydrazide (MH) and cyclophosphamide (CP) that can lead to the induction of sister-chromatid exchanges (SCEs) in CHO cells. When NADP was a cofactor in the S9 mix, ethanol, MH and CP all induced an increase of SCEs with rat-liver S9. With Vicia-root S10, however, ethanol induction of SCEs was very weak and no effect at all was observed with MH and CP. When NAD was a cofactor in the S9 mix, Vicia-root S10 activated ethanol and produced an increase in SCEs.

TL;DR: The ability of simple alkylating carcinogens to induce sister-chromatid exchange (SCE) has been well established, although theAlkyl lesion(s) leading to SCE formation have not been delineated.

TL;DR: It is suggested that ATase-repairable damage is involved in the induction of SCE, chromosome aberrations and micronuclei in V79 cells.
Abstract: Clones of Chinese hamster V79 cells harbouring the Escherichia coli O6-alkylguanine (O6-AG) alkylphosphotriester (AP) alkyltransferase (ATase) gene (clone 8) or a subclone of it that codes only for O6-AG ATase activity (clone SB) have been exposed to increasing doses of N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) or methylmethanesulphonate (MMS) and the frequencies of induced sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) measured. In control (clone 2) cells, SCE induction was almost linearly proportional to dose of MNU or MMS and at the highest doses used (15 or 80 micrograms/ml) SCE frequencies were 6 or 8 times background levels, respectively. Slightly lower levels of MMS-induced SCEs were seen in clone 8 and clone SB cells whilst, in contrast, MNU-induced SCE levels in these two clones were drastically reduced being less than twice background levels at 15 micrograms/ml. After treatment with N-butyl-N-nitrosourea, SCE frequency was similar in all three clones. At higher doses, MNU treatment produced less chromatid aberrations and micronuclei in clone SB than in clone 2 cells. These results suggest that ATase-repairable damage is involved in the induction of SCE, chromosome aberrations and micronuclei in V79 cells.
