DNA repair after ultraviolet irradiation of ICR 2A frog cells. Pyrimidine dimers are long acting blocks to nascent DNA synthesis

Abstract: The ability of ICR 2A frog cells to repair DNA damage induced by ultraviolet irradiation was examined. These cells are capable of photoreactivation but are nearly totally deficient in excision repair. They have the ability to convert the small molecule weight DNA made after irradiation into large molecules but do not show an enhancement in this process when the UV dose is delivered in two separate exposures separated by a 3- or 24-h incubation. Total DNA synthesis is depressed and low molecular weight DNA cont… Show more

“…2). This is similar to results reported by Rosenstein and Setlow (1980) who found that when ICR 2A cells were exposed to PRL after UV irradiation, the size of the nascent DNA synthesized was nearly the same as in unirradiated cells and there was an increase in total DNA synthesis, although there was still a depression in thymidine incorporation. The photoreactivable sector for ICR 2A cells for DNA synthesis was 0.58 and for survival was 0.69.…”

“…In contrast, when wildtype AA8 Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells were exposed to 6.5 Jim', incorporation dropped slowly for the first 1-2 h after exposure, and then recovered with the rate of thymidine incorporation reaching control levels 5 h after exposure (Griffiths and Ling, 1984). The IAL-PID2 results are similar to those with frog ICR 2A cells, where the amount of label incorporated into DNA remained depressed several days after exposure to 7.5 Jim2 (Rosenstein and Setlow, 1980). Exposure to PRL decreased the extent of this depression in insect cells (Fig.…”

“…Studies of the biological effects of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers, the predominant photoproducts induced in D N A by ultraviolet-C (UV-C) irradiation (240-290 nm), have been facilitated by the use of enzymes that specifically recognize this class of damage. In situ repair of cyclobutane dimers by enzymatic photoreactivation was observed to reduce both cell killing and mutation induction in various nonmammalian eukaryotes ( Lehmann and Stevens, 1975;Rosenstein and Setlow, 1980). In mammalian cells, recent host-cell reactivation (HCR)?…”

“…Secondly these cells are highly proficient in the enzymatic photoreactivation of pyrimidine dimers (Freed et al . 1979, Rosenstein andSetlow 1980) . It is therefore possible to induce a population of DNA damage that is subsequently virtually free of pyrimidine dimers through exposure of these cells to sunlamp UV > 315 nm plus photoreactivating light (PRL) .…”
