The majority of the studies reported an association between short LTL and increased PDAC risk, but the results are heterogeneous. Genome-wide association studies have identified several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) gene as susceptibility loci for PDAC. Polygenic risk scores (PRS) computed using SNPs associated with LTL have been tested in relation to PDAC susceptibility with various methods and giving contrasting results. The aim of this review is to analyze all publications carried out specifically on LTL, considering LTL measured with qPCR and with genetic proxies, and PDAC risk.

We include three training sets of comet images, which can be used as reference for researchers who wish to use visual scoring of comets. Investigators in 11 different laboratories scored the comet images using a five-class scoring system. There is inter-investigator variation in the three training sets of comets (i.e. coefficient of variation (CV) = 9.7%, 19.8%, and 15.2% in training sets I-III, respectively). However, there is also a positive correlation of inter-investigator scoring in the three training sets (r = 0.60). Overall, 36% of the variation is attributed to inter-investigator variation and 64% stems from intra-investigator variation in scoring between comets (i.e. the comets in training sets I-III look slightly different and this gives rise to heterogeneity in scoring). Intra-investigator variation in scoring was also assessed by repeated analysis of the training sets by the same investigator. There was larger variation when the training sets were scored over a period of six months (CV = 5.9%-9.6%) as compared to 1 week (CV = 1.3%-6.1%).

More specifically, the assay detects DNA migration from agarose gel-embedded nucleoids, which depends on assay conditions and the level of DNA damage. Certain steps in the comet assay procedure have substantial impact on the magnitude of DNA migration (e.g. electric potential and time of electrophoresis). Inter-laboratory variation in DNA migration levels occurs because there is no agreement on optimal assay conditions or suitable assay controls. The purpose of the hCOMET ring trial was to test potassium bromate (KBrO3) as a positive control for the formamidopyrimidine DNA glycosylase (Fpg)-modified comet assay. To this end, participating laboratories used semi-standardized protocols for cell culture (i.e. cell culture, KBrO3 exposure, and cryopreservation of cells) and comet assay procedures, whereas the data acquisition was not standardized (i.e. staining of comets and image analysis). Segregation of the total variation into partial standard deviation (SD) in % Tail DNA units indicates the importance of cell culture procedures (SD = 10.9), comet assay procedures (SD = 12.3), staining (SD = 7.9) and image analysis (SD = 0.5) on the overall inter-laboratory variation of DNA migration (SD = 18.2). Future studies should assess sources of variation in each of these steps. On the positive side, the hCOMET ring trial demonstrates that KBrO3 is a robust positive control for the Fpg-modified comet assay.

In this study, 10 laboratories used standardized cryopreservation and thawing procedures of monocytic (THP-1) or lymphocytic (TK6) cells. Samples were cryopreserved in small aliquots in 50% foetal bovine serum, 40% cell culture medium, and 10% dimethyl sulphoxide.

Cytokines have also been implicated in genotoxicity; thus, we explored a cell line model of the human bone marrow (BM) to secrete myeloid cytokines following drug treatment and their potential to induce micronuclei. HS-5 human stromal cells were exposed to mitoxantrone (MTX) and chlorambucil (CHL) and, for the first time, were profiled for 80 cytokines using an array. Fifty-four cytokines were detected in untreated cells, of which 24 were upregulated and 10 were downregulated by both drugs. FGF-7 was the lowest cytokine to be detected in both untreated and treated cells. Eleven cytokines not detected at baseline were detected following drug exposure. TNFα, IL6, GM-CSF, G-CSF, and TGFβ1 were selected for micronuclei induction. TK6 cells were exposed to these cytokines in isolation and in paired combinations. Only TNFα and TGFβ1 induced micronuclei at healthy concentrations, but all five cytokines induced micronuclei at storm levels, which was further increased when combined in pairs. Of particular concern was that some combinations induced micronuclei at levels above the mitomycin C positive control; however, most combinations were less than the sum of micronuclei induced following exposure to each cytokine in isolation.
