Resumo: | DNA is a molecule susceptible to the attack of many toxic substances. So, studies on the toxic effects of chemical are very important. Tests that evaluate substances genomodifier (presenting action genoprotetora or genotoxic), how the Comet Assay, are often complex and laborious. Therefore an ultrasensitive and fast protocol no-cell is presented for the quantification DNA triggered by chemical compounds, called GEMO Assay (Genomodifier capacity assay). This assay includes a prooxidant standardized (H2O2, 3M) that is used to compare the effects on dsDNA damage of the compound-test that is evaluated with and without addition this prooxidant. The assay is performed in black 96-well plate and use Quant-iT PicoGreen® dsDNA Reagent and DNA from Calf Thymus. The vitamin C was used like compound-test in different concentrations (0.1, 0.3, 1, 3 and 10 μg/mL). For validation of GEMO Assay was used PBMCs (peripheral blood mononuclear cells) and HT29 (colon carcinoma cell line) exposed the same conditions that the proposed test and evaluated at different tests already well described in the literature: Alkaline Comet Assay, MTT, DCFH-DA and TBARS. The results showed high correlation with GEMO Assay, confirming the validation. Then the test developed in this work offers high sensitivity for detecting genomodifier substances without interference if biological systems. |
