Epithelial cells as alternative human biomatrices for comet assay

Frontiers in Genetics, 2014
The comet assay is a valuable experimental tool aimed at mapping DNA damage in human cells in vivo for environmental and occupational monitoring, as well as for therapeutic purposes, such as storage prior to transplant, during tissue engineering, and in ...

On the search for an intelligible comet assay descriptor [PDF]

Frontiers in Genetics, 2014
The comet assay has developed over the past 30 years and today, a variety of different DNA lesions and DNA repair can be measured by different versions of the assay (Collins, 2004). In the final step of the method, an image resembling a comet with a head (the nuclear core) and a tail (consisting of mainly single stranded DNA that has migrated out from ...

Engineering a Human‐Sized Common Bile Duct Prototype with Regenerative Potential: In Vitro Evaluation of Mechanics, Function, Degradation, and Immune Modulation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a multiphasic bile duct construct composed of biocompatible materials and cells, featuring an inner layer that supports biliary epithelium growth, a middle layer providing mechanical strength, and an outer cell‐permissive layer designed to support future in vivo integration.

Evaluating In Vitro DNA Damage Using Comet Assay.

Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2017
DNA damage is a common phenomenon for each cell during its lifespan, and is defined as an alteration of the chemical structure of genomic DNA. Cancer therapies, such as radio- and chemotherapy, introduce enormous amount of additional DNA damage, leading ...

Antitumoral Efficacy of AuNRs‐Laden ECFCs In Vitro and In Vivo: Decoding the Heat and Rays Combo Treatment in Breast Cancer and Melanoma Cells

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Endothelial Colony Forming Cells (ECFCs) acted as cellular cyborgs, stealthily transporting gold nanorods (AuNRs) into tumors to enable targeted near‐infrared (NIR) hyperthermia combined with radiotherapy. This approach triggers ferroptosis in melanoma and inhibits autophagy in breast cancer, revealing a tumor‐specific response to nanomaterial‐assisted

Genotoxic Effects of Etoposide, Bleomycin, and Ethyl Methanesulfonate on Cultured CHO Cells: Analysis by GC-MS/MS and Comet Assay

Journal of Nucleic Acids, 2020
To evaluate methods for analysis of genotoxic effects on mammalian cell lines, we tested the effect of three common genotoxic agents on Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells by single-cell gel electrophoresis (comet assay) and gas chromatography-tandem mass ...

Comparing the alkaline comet with 53BP1 immunocytochemistry assay: sensitivity and cost/time effectiveness

Frontiers in Genetics, 2015
Both the comet and p53-binding protein 1 (53BP1) Immunocytochemistry (ICC) assays are well known, sensitive techniques to determine DNA damage, albeit with different perspectives.

IncRNA‐ZFAS1, an Emerging Gate‐Keeper in DNA Damage‐Dependent Transcriptional Regulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
LncZFAS1 plays a crucial role during DNA damage response in mammalian cells. Loss of lncZFAS1 results in deficient DNA lesion removal and reduced cell viability. Mechanistically, lncZFAS1 modulates RNAPII phosphorylation and transcription and thereby promotes both GG‐NER and TC‐NER upon UV damage.
