title: [Changes in the frequency of cells with micronuclei in cell populations of rat transplantable rhabdomyosarcoma RA-2 as a result of selection for an increased and a decreased frequency of such cells].
abstract: Artificial selection for increasing and decreasing frequencies of cells with micronuclei (FCM) was conducted in populations of cell clones of the rat transplantable RA-2 rabdomyosarcoma. The selection was effective in both the opposite directions. The average FCM increased from 3.3 +/- 0.2 to 6.9 +/- 0.6% and decreased from 3.3 +/- 0.2 to 1.6 +/- 0.2%. Heritability coefficient, h2, varied from 0.2 to 0.4. In the cell population with increased FCM, 37% of anaphases and early telophases had lagged chromosomes and fragments. In contrast, in the cell population with decreased FCM, lagging were observed in 11% of cases. The DNA-content in G1 cell varied greatly in cell population with increased FCM (P < 0.01). The selection for increased FCM has led to a significant decrease in metastatic capacities of cells.
