In a study of the expression of folate-sensitive fragile sites in five normal individuals using RPMI medium containing methotrexate (MTX), we observed a high frequency of "sister chromatid intercrossings" (SCI) that is, the intersection of sister chromatids. The location of SCIs corresponded to fragile sites in 54.2% of the cases. Of the SCIs observed in each individual, 43%-53% were located at the same bands as their expressed fragile sites. Furthermore when RPMI + MTX medium was used instead of F-10 medium, the incidence of SCIs increased tenfold. We suggest that SCIs could indicate the existence of a pre-lesion.
在一项使用含甲氨蝶呤(MTX)的RPMI培养基对五名正常个体叶酸敏感性脆性位点表达的研究中,我们观察到了高频率的“姐妹染色单体交叉”(SCI),即姐妹染色单体的交叉。SCI的位置在54.2%的病例中与脆性位点相对应。在每个个体中观察到的SCI中,43%-53%位于与其表达的脆性位点相同的条带处。此外,当使用RPMI+MTX培养基而非F-10培养基时,SCI的发生率增加了十倍。我们认为SCI可能表明存在一种前期病变。
