Pesticides and the induction of aneuploidy in human sperm.

Abstract:

:Pesticides are some of the most frequently released toxic chemicals into the environment. Exposure to them has been associated with reproductive dysfunction, but the knowledge of the genotoxic risks of these substances is still limited. In vitro and in vivo, many pesticides are shown to induce aneuploidy. Analysis of sperm chromosomes by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with chromosome-specific probes has obtained increasing popularity in genetic toxicology. Sperm-FISH studies on men exposed to pesticides have yielded conflicting results: in men exposed to multiple pesticides during spraying no increased disomy frequencies in sperm were observed, although one study reported an increased rate of sex chromosome nullisomy. In contrast the two studies conducted in pesticide factories showed increased frequencies of sperm aneuploidy in exposed men compared to controls. The available data indicates that at least some of the commonly used pesticides are capable of inducing aneuploidy in human sperm when the exposure level is high enough.

  • Oncogenic Properties of Candidate Oncogenes in Chromosome Region 17p11.2p12 in Human Osteosarcoma.

    abstract::Osteosarcomas are primary tumors of bone that most often develop in adolescents. They are characterized by complex genomic changes including amplifications, deletions, and translocations. The chromosome region 17p11.2p12 is frequently amplified in human high grade osteosarcomas (25% of cases), suggesting the presence ...
