title: Effect of poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase inhibitors on the frequency of sister-chromatid exchanges in Bloom syndrome cells.
abstract: The effect of inhibitors of poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase, benzamide (Bam) and m-aminobenzamide (m-AB), on sister-chromatid exchanges (SCEs) and cell growth, was examined in lymphoblastoid cell lines from a normal adult (KS-64) and from a Bloom syndrome patient (BS1-2). The presence of Bam and m-AB increased the levels of SCEs in KS-64 and BS1-2 lymphoblastoid cells. Though the net increase was similar in the two types of cell, the relative increase was much lower in the BS1-2 cells. Bam and m-AB increased the number of SCEs in BS1-2 cells to levels of 95.4 +/- 3.24 and 98.1 +/- 3.23 per cell, respectively, as compared with the baseline level of 75.5 +/- 2.16. On the other hand, when KS-64 cells were treated with Bam and m-AB, the number of SCEs increased to 27.1 +/- 1.98 and 28.6 +/- 2.71 per cell, respectively, compared with the baseline number of 6.7 +/- 0.41 per cell. These inhibitors of poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase also inhibited cell growth at concentrations which induced SCEs in KS-64 as well as in BS1-2 cells. No significant decrease in the poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase activity or in the amount of poly-(ADP-ribose) was detected in BS1-2 cells as compared with KS-64 cells. The mechanism by which SCEs are increased in BS1-2 cells is discussed.
