Fate of micronuclei and micronucleated cells along with relevance of micronuclei as biomarker

open access: yes, 2021
Mikrokerne sind als wichtiger Biomarker in der Gentoxizitätsforschung seit langer Zeit etabliert und ihre Bildung ist mechanistisch gut verstanden, wohingegen das Mikrokernschicksal und die genaue Funktion von Mikrokernen in der Kanzerogenese ...

TDP-43 aggregation inside micronuclei reveals a potential mechanism for protein inclusion formation in ALS

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2019
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating progressive neurodegenerative disease with no known etiology. The formation of pathological protein inclusions, including RNA-binding proteins such as TDP-43 and rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor (

Genotoxicity in oral mucosal epithelial cells of petrol station attendants: A micronucleus study

open access: yesJournal of Cytology, 2021
Introduction: Occupational exposure to petrol derivatives possesses an increased risk of various cancers including that of the oral mucosa. Scientific studies have shown the correlation of micronuclei assay (MN) with the cytogenotoxic changes in petrol ...

Chromothripsis from DNA damage in micronuclei [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 2015
Genome sequencing has uncovered a new mutational phenomenon in cancer and congenital disorders called chromothripsis. Chromothripsis is characterized by extensive genomic rearrangements and an oscillating pattern of DNA copy number levels, all curiously restricted to one or a few chromosomes.

Genotoxic effects of the diesel water-soluble fraction on the seahorse Hippocampus reidi (Teleostei: Syngnathidae) during acute exposure

open access: yesZoologia (Curitiba), 2010
The high toxicity of diesel components makes oil spills a threat to the biota in coastal marine environments. The genotoxic effect of the diesel water-soluble fraction (DWSF) on Hippocampus reidi (Ginsburg, 1933) was assessed.

An Automated, Single Cell Quantitative Imaging Microscopy Approach to Assess Micronucleus Formation, Genotoxicity and Chromosome Instability

open access: yesCells, 2020
Micronuclei are small, extranuclear bodies that are distinct from the primary cell nucleus. Micronucleus formation is an aberrant event that suggests a history of genotoxic stress or chromosome mis-segregation events.

Sex chromosomes and micronuclei in human lymphocytes.

open access: yes, 1996
The objectives of this study were to determine in humans the relationship between sex chromosome loss and increased micronucleus frequencies with age, the establishment of sex chromosome loss frequencies unbiased by cellular survival factors, the ...

Micronuclei images and quantification.

open access: yes, 2018
FSS exposure results in an increase in CREST-positive micronuclei. Micronuclei were observed in all cell populations and quantified on multiple slides using CREST (green) and DAPI (red) staining for control and adherent cell populations (after three ...

MITF maintains genome stability in nonmelanocyte lineages

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
MITF is essential for melanocyte survival and acts as an oncogene in 10%–20% of melanomas. We show that MITF depletion causes genome instability in nonmelanocytic cells, leading to LATS2‐mediated P53 activation, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis. This study highlights the role of MITF as a genome maintenance factor beyond the melanocyte lineage. Created

The effects of sex, age and cigarette smoking on micronucleus and degenerative nuclear alteration frequencies in human buccal cells of healthy Bosnian subjects

open access: yesJournal of Health Sciences, 2013
Introduction: This study was performed to establish a baseline value of micronucleus frequency in buccal cells and to estimate the impact of the most common factors (sex and age, and smoking) on micronucleus and degenerative nuclear alteration ...
