| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to establish a rapid, simple and hypersensitive method of screening various genotoxic compounds for mammalian cells, we compared sensitivities to various compounds among mouse embryonic fibroblasts derived from wild-type (WT) and knock-out mice lacking one of three Y-family TLS DNA polymerases (Pol eta, Pol iota, and Pol kappa) or all of them (TKO). We found that TKO cells exhibited the highest sensitivities to most of the tested genotoxins, but not to the non-genotoxins. Furthermore, we found that ratios of half-maximal inhibitory concentration of WT and TKO cells would be nice markers to quantitatively evaluate the hypersensitivity of TKO cells to different chemicals.
