Abstract
Nuclear and mitochondrial DNA damage in placental and fetal cells of rats was evaluated in a LPS-induced model of perinatal immune activation. Six hours after a single administration of LPS (0.2 mg/kg), an increase in nuclear DNA damage was observed in both placental and fetal cells. The most pronounced changes were detected in the fetal head region. After 24 h, damage to nuclear DNA was detected in placental cells and the trunk of the fetuses. High variability of this parameter was observed between the placental and fetal samples from the same animal and between different animals. No increase in nuclear DNA damage was revealed 3 h after LPS treatment. Mitochondrial DNA damage in the studied cells was detected after a 6-h exposure to LPS.
期刊介绍:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine presents original peer reviewed research papers and brief reports on priority new research results in physiology, biochemistry, biophysics, pharmacology, immunology, microbiology, genetics, oncology, etc. Novel trends in science are covered in new sections of the journal - Biogerontology and Human Ecology - that first appeared in 2005.
World scientific interest in stem cells prompted inclusion into Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine a quarterly scientific journal Cell Technologies in Biology and Medicine (a new Russian Academy of Medical Sciences publication since 2005). It publishes only original papers from the leading research institutions on molecular biology of stem and progenitor cells, stem cell as the basis of gene therapy, molecular language of cell-to-cell communication, cytokines, chemokines, growth and other factors, pilot projects on clinical use of stem and progenitor cells.
The Russian Volume Year is published in English from April.
