Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Micronucleus induction is a marker of genotoxicity. We found that the micronuclei are induced at the first cell division as well as at the second and third divisions after treatment of environmental mutagens. This phenomenon is called delayed micronucleus induction. To elucidate this mechanism, mammalian cells were treated with the agents causing different types of cellular damage, e.g., X-ray, UV, colchicine, cis-platin, methyl nitrosourea. The micronucleus induction at the first cell division was increased with the amount of DNA damage; but that at the second cell division was increased with the amount of inhibition of spindle formation.
