Radiation-induced chromosome aberrations were used as biomarkers to compare G0, mid-G1, and methotrexate (MTX)-arrested lymphocytes. The ratio of chromosome-type to chromatid-type aberrations in MTX-arrested cells was consistent with that predicted when postreplicative chromosomes are exposed to ionizing radiation and supports the premise that MTX arrests cells in late S/G2 of the cell cycle.
辐射诱导的染色体畸变被用作生物标志物,以比较G0期、G1期中期和甲氨蝶呤(MTX)阻滞的淋巴细胞。MTX阻滞细胞中染色体型畸变与染色单体型畸变的比例,与复制后染色体暴露于电离辐射时预测的比例一致,并支持MTX将细胞阻滞在细胞周期S期晚期/G2期的前提。
