Abstract

Among the expressed sequence tags (ESTs) which were isolated from genetically instable monkey kidney vero cells induced by N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG), a fragment 9 was isolated. When the expression of fragment 9 was blocked through transcripting antisense RNA, MNNG-induced nontargeted mutation frequency enhanced significantly compared with control (P < 0.05) . The result showed that the relevant gene of fragment 9 might participate in maintaining cellular genetic stability and be involved in inhibition of nontargeted mutagenesis.
