title: Effects of vanillin on sister-chromatid exchanges and chromosome aberrations induced by mitomycin C in cultured Chinese hamster ovary cells.
abstract: Effects of vanillin on the induction of sister-chromatid exchanges (SCEs) and structural chromosome aberrations by mitomycin C (MMC) were investigated in cultured Chinese hamster ovary cells. Vanillin induced neither SCEs nor chromosome aberrations by itself. However, an obvious increase in the frequency of SCEs was observed when MMC-treated cells were cultured in the presence of vanillin. The effect of vanillin was S-phase-dependent. On the contrary, the frequency of cells with chromosome aberrations was significantly decreased by the post-treatment with vanillin at G2 phase.
