Abstract:

OBJECTIVE: To establish a rapid fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) method and to analyze the chromosome aberrations induced by irradiation. METHODS:Human centromeric alpha satellite DNA was amplified and directly labeled with Cy3-dUTP or Fluorescein-12-dUTP by degenerate oligonucleotide priming-PCR (DOP-PCR) to prepare two pan-centromeric probes. Chromosome aberrations in lymphocytes of healthy irradiated peripheral blood samples with 60Coγ-rays were analyzed with FISH. RESULTS:Two directly labeled pan-centromeric probes hybridized to the centromeres of all 46 chromosomes. The established rapid FISH method could easily detect chromosome aberrations after hybridizing 5 h to 12 h in 37 ℃ and simple washing. CONCLUSION: FISH method established in this study could be use to rapidly detect the dicentrics,centric rings,and translocations induced by irradiation.
