DNA Damage Can Stall the Cell Cycle02:36

DNA Damage Can Stall the Cell Cycle

3.2K
In response to DNA damage, cells can pause the cell cycle to assess and repair the breaks. However, the cell must check the DNA at certain critical stages during the cell cycle. If the cell cycle pauses before DNA replication, the cells will contain twice the amount of DNA. On the other hand, if cells arrest after DNA replication but before mitosis, they will contain four times the normal amount of DNA. With a host of specialized proteins at their disposal,cells must use the right protein at...

Organic Compounds

All living things are formed mostly of carbon compounds called organic compounds. The category of organic compounds includes both natural and synthetic compounds that contain carbon. Although a single, precise definition has yet to be identified by the chemistry community, most agree that a defining trait of organic molecules is the presence of carbon as the principal element, bonded to hydrogen and other carbon atoms. However, some carbon-containing compounds such as carbonates, cyanides, and...

Pure substances consist of only one type of matter. A pure substance can be an element or a compound. An element consists of only one type of atom, while a compound consists of two or more types of atoms held together by a chemical bond.
Elements
Elements are classified as atomic or molecular based on the nature of their basic units. They are unique forms of matter with specific chemical and physical properties that cannot break down into smaller substances by ordinary chemical reactions. There...

Ionic Compounds: Formulas and Nomenclature

88.2K
An element composed of atoms that readily lose electrons (a metal) can react with an element composed of atoms that readily gain electrons (a nonmetal) to produce ions through complete electron transfer. The compound formed by this transfer is stabilized by the electrostatic attractions (ionic bonds) between the oppositely charged ions.

Area of Science:

  • Genotoxicology
  • Molecular Biology
  • High-Throughput Screening

Background:

  • Quantifying DNA damage and repair in high-throughput is challenging.
  • Standard Single Cell Gel Electrophoresis (SCGE) has limitations in reproducibility and throughput.
  • Existing methods lack the capacity for large-scale screening.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an advanced, high-throughput method for quantifying DNA damage and repair.
  • To improve the reproducibility and capacity of the SCGE assay.
  • To demonstrate the platform's utility in toxicology and epidemiology.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a 96-well hardware platform coupled with dedicated data processing software (CometChip Platform).
  • Adaptation of the original cometchip approach for increased throughput.
  • Testing the platform with a 74-compound library and peripheral blood mononuclear cells.

Main Results:

  • The CometChip Platform demonstrated a ~200-fold increase in capacity compared to traditional slide-based SCGE.
  • Excellent reproducibility was achieved in high-throughput DNA damage and repair quantification.
  • The platform successfully identified genotoxic agents and characterized human population susceptibility.

Conclusions:

  • The CometChip Platform offers a highly reproducible and quantitative solution for high-throughput screening of genotoxic agents.
  • This tool has significant implications for large-scale compound library screening.
  • The platform is suitable for human epidemiological studies investigating genetic diversity in DNA damage and repair.
