Nickel(II) is reported to be genotoxic, but the mechanisms underlying its genotoxicity are largely unknown. It can interfere with DNA repair and this may contribute to its genotoxicity. We studied the effect of nickel chloride on the repair of DNA damaged by UV radiation or N-methyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) in human lymphocytes using the alkaline comet assay. Nickel(II) at 1 μM caused an...
Using the alkaline comet assay, we showed that bleomycin at 0.1-5 μg/ml induced DNA strand breaks and/or alkali-labile sites, measurable as the comet tail moment, in human colonic mucosa cells. This DNA damage was completely repaired during a 120-minute post-treatment incubation of the cells. Post-treatment of the bleomycin-damaged DNA with 3-methyladenine-DNA glycosylase II (AlkA), an enzyme recognizing...
