| Abstract: | BACKGROUND:There have been no reports describing the effects of cadmium chloride on heredity of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs)
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of cadmium chloride on micronucleus rate and chromosome aberration rate in mouse BMSCs.
METHODS:Mouse BMSCs were cultured by adherence method. Morphology of BMSCs was observed in the blank control group and cadmium chloride-induced group. The micronucleus rate and chromosome aberration rate in mouse BMSCs were determined.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Under the microscope, cells in the blank control group grew adherently like fibroblasts, with transparent soma and strong refraction; in the cadmium chloride-induced group, cells were retracted, somas became small and round, and were weakly adherent, and suspension cells increased. The micronucleus rate and chromosome aberration rate in mouse BMSCs were significantly increased in the cadmium chloride-induced group than in the blank control group (P < 0.05). These findings suggest that cadmium chloride can cause damage to BMSC genetic material. |
