title: Inhibition of ADP-ribosylation increases X-ray-induced chromosomal damage in mouse testis and bone-marrow cells in vivo.
abstract: The effect of 3-aminobenzamide (3AB) treatment on chromosomal radiosensitivity of mouse spermatogonial stem cells and bone-marrow cells was studied using various doses of X-rays. The results show that 3AB increases the induction of reciprocal translocations in slowly cycling spermatogonia as well as the frequency of chromosomal aberrations in actively dividing bone-marrow cells. The experiments indicate that both types of tissue are suitable to study the ability of inhibitors of ADP-ribosylation to modulate chromosome-breaking damage induced by ionizing radiation in vivo.
