| Popis: | Whole-smoke condensates from the University of Kentucky reference cigarettes induced partial mitotic arrest in 4 human lymphoid cell lines. Treatment of cells for 3 h with 100 and 200 μg of cigarette-smoke condensate/ml of culture medium increased the frequency of metaphases and decreased the proportion of anaphases in the treated cell populations. Cytoskeletal studies using antitubulin immunofluorescence techniques and transmission electron microscopic studies demonstrated that in early stages of mitosis the formation of aster and the separation of centrosomes in condensate-treated cells were comparable to those of untreated control cells, but the poleward migration of centrosomes was inhibited. Arrested metaphases revealed two centrosomes surrounded by aggregated chromosomes in the center of each cell but the structure of the centrioles, microtubules and the kinetochores appeared normal. The results demonstrate the presence of antimitotic compounds in the tobacco-smoke condensate. |
