Abstract:
:We previously characterized a clone of CHO cells, clone B, that displayed tolerance to the cytotoxic effects of N-methylnitrosourea (MNU) and 6-thioguanine (6-TG). To determine whether this phenotype affected the mutagenic response of the cells, MNU-induced mutation to 8-azaadenine resistance (8-AAr) was measured in the parental and clone B cells. Comparable mutation frequencies were found in the two cell lines up to 0.5 mM MNU, while at higher MNU concentrations mutations could be reproducibly measured only in clone B cells. Similar amounts of DNA methylated bases were found in the two cell lines after a 30 min treatment with different concentrations of [3H]MNU and the same linear relationship was observed when mutation induction by MNU was plotted as a function of the amount of O6-methylguanine (O6-MeGua) in DNA, indicating that mutation induction in both cell lines was related to the presence of this methylated base. Fifteen MNU-induced 8-AAr mutants were isolated from each cell line and the sequences of the adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (aprt) mutations determined. The type (in 90% of the cases, GC to AT transitions), the sequence context and the strand localization of the mutations indicated that all mutations were targeted at O6-MeGua in DNA and no difference was found between the two lines. These results are consistent with a mechanism of tolerance of O6-MeGua that does not alter the processing of this methylated base into a mutation. Growth in 6-TG induced point mutations in clone B but not in the parental cells. A model is proposed in which the alkylation tolerant variant is altered in a mismatch correction pathway responsible for the cytotoxicity of the methylated base.
