[In vitro induction of primary DNA double-strand breaks in leukemic and normal blood cells by ultraviolet irradiation].
The yield of UV-induced DNA double-strand breaks was studied for white blood cells ("light" fraction) derived from peripheral blood, and from patients with lymphomas, chronic lymphoid leukemia (CLL), and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). The method employed was constant-field electrophoresis of plug-embedded DNA in agarose gel. Characteristic dose-response curves were obtained for various cell populations. Lymphoid cells, both from healthy subjects and CLL patients, revealed less damage to DNA under UV-irradiation, whereas CML cells were much more affected. Possible interpretation of these results includes species-specific differences in UV-induced DNA damage, as well as sufficient DNA crosslinking, thus interfering with DNA dsbs detection in irradiated cells.
