“…Cells were treated with MG at concentrations ranging from 0.1 μM to 100 μM, and tested by MTT assay, a differential apoptosis/necrosis assay (EB/OA), the micronucleus test (MN), and the comet assay. MG exhibits dose-dependent cytotoxicity toward all of the tested cell types; higher concentrations of MG cause cell necrosis, while lower concentrations induce apoptosis. …”

“…We find using alkaline comet assay, single-molecule DNA fiber assays, and immunofluorescence microscopy of DNA repair foci that H. pylori induces transcription-dependent DNA damage in actively replicating, Leucine-rich-repeat containing G-Protein-Coupled Receptor 5 (Lgr5)–positive antral stem and progenitor cells and their Troy-positive corpus counterparts, but not in other gastric epithelial lineages. …”

“…In contrast to melphalan, there was no clear correlation between sensitivity to SJG-136 and crosslink unhooking capacity measured using a modified comet assay. Furthermore, repair of SJG-136 crosslinks did not involve the formation of DNA double-strand breaks. …”

“…Several pathogenic bacteria, including Listeria monocytogenes, use an F-actin motility process to spread between mammalian cells1. Actin ‘comet tails’ propel Listeria through the cytoplasm, resulting in bacteria-containing membrane protrusions that are internalized by neighboring cells. …”

“…Fecal microbiota composition was determined using 16S rRNA based methods and fecal genotoxicity measured using the Comet assay. RESULTS: AA reported an increased intake of heterocyclic amines and a decreased dietary intake of vitamins including vitamin D (p < 0.05) that correlated with differences in fecal microbiota composition but not fecal genotoxicity. …”

“…In this study, GTN caused a decrease in GSH with an elevation of reactive oxygen species as early as 30 min and DNA damage as assessed by Comet assay. Analysis using topoisomerase II processing of supercoiled pBR 322 DNA showed that GTN caused DNA damage via a topoisomerase II-independent pathway suggesting that cellular oxidative stress may contribute to genotoxicity. …”

“…The current study was carried out on forty adult male rats, each with average weight 220-250g., were divided into 4 equal groups. 1(st) group was received saline solution (0.5 ml/100 g body weight) and kept as control. 2(nd) group was received 500mg / kg body weight L-Carnitine intraperitoneally (IP). 3(rd) group was administered 1.2 mg cadmium chloride IP. 4(th) group was received both cadmium chloride and L-Carnitine simultaneously. The comet assay parameters showed significantly increased HSP70 and DNA damage in testis cells after 10 and 56 days in the third group. …”

CONCLUSIONS: Transcriptional co-expression and PPI network analyses with known human centromere/kinetochore proteins as a query group help identify novel potential mitosis regulators.…”

The comet assay showed a statistically significant (P < 0.01) dose- and time-related increase in DNA damage for Co(3)O(4)NPs, whereas Co(2+) induced less change than Co(3)O(4)NPs but significantly more than control. …”
