Abstract
Single and twin sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) were analysed in the colcemid-induced endoreduplicated normal and Bloom syndrome (BS) B-lymphoid cells with diplochromosomes. In normal cells, an equal number of SCEs occur in each of the two cell cycles; the ratio of single (= 5.51 SCEs/cell) to twins (= 2.64 SCEs/cell) was 2∶1 on the endoreduplicated-cell basis, and it was 1∶1 on the diploid-cell basis. In contrast, in 29 endomitoses from one BS B-lymphoid line, a manyfold increase of single SCEs was detected and 139.4 single SCEs on the average were counted, whereas twin SCEs were rare and only 4.9 twin SCEs were countable. In BS cells, the ratio of single (= 139.4 SCEs/cell) to twins (4.9 SCEs/cell) was 28∶1 on the endoreduplicated-cell basis, and it was 14∶1 on the diploid cell-basis; the rates of S1 and S2 exchanges were 4.9 and 69.7 SCEs/cell, respectively. The present study strongly indicates that most of BS SCEs occur during the second cell cycle when BrdU-containing DNA is used as template for replication and that BrdU enhances BS SCEs.Keywords
