| Popis: | UV-B-induced perturbations of cell cycle progression in asynchronous human keratinocytes were analysed during two cell cycles with respect to their cell cycle stage at the time of irradiation using BrdUrd/Hoechst flow cytometry. Exponentially growing SCL-2-keratinocytes exposed to UV-B radiation showed a short delay in G1-phase exit and were blocked in the S and G2/M phases of the first cell cycle. UV-A wavelengths did not show any detectable effect on cell cycle progression. In contrast, 137Cs-irradiation of these cells induced a temporary G2 block only. Micronucleus frequency increased in gamma-irradiated cells as soon as the cells started to divide and reached a plateau when most of the cells had divided. Continuous treatment with caffeine starting immediately after 137Cs gamma-irradiation prevented accumulation of cells in G2 phase, but did not influence the frequency of micronuclei. In UV-B-irradiated keratinocytes, however, the damage-induced cell cycle perturbations were merely reduced by caffeine, but not eliminated. Compared with gamma-irradiation a moderate induction of micronuclei was observed in UV-B-irradiated cells. Caffeine, however, potentiated the induction of micronuclei by UV-B. These different effects on cell cycle kinetics and micronucleus induction indicate different mechanisms of DNA damage caused by UV-B- and gamma-irradiation that may be repaired through different pathways. |
