The ability of topoisomerase II inhibitor, teniposide, to induce aneuploidy and meiotic delay in somatic and germinal cells of male mice was investigated by fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) assay using labelled DNA probes and 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation assay, respectively. Colchicine and mitomycin C were used as a positive control aneugen and clastogen, respectively, and these compounds produced the expected responses. Using FISH assay with centromeric and telomeric…

Comet‐FISH studies for evaluation of genetic damage of citalopram in somatic cells of the mouse
TLDR
It is suggested that citalopram at the recommended human doses induces some genetic alterations, which can adversely affect the normal cellular functioning in mice, and the clinical use of cITALopram must be weighed against the risks of genetic damages in citalipram users.
Molecular cytogenetic evaluation of the mechanism of genotoxic potential of amsacrine and nocodazole in mouse bone marrow cells

TLDR
It is demonstrated for the first time that amsacrine has high incidences of clastogenicity and low incidence of aneugenicity whereas nocodazole has highincidences of anEugenicity andLow incidencesof clastogens during mitotic phases in vivo.
A historical overview of bromo-substituted DNA and sister chromatid differentiation.
TLDR
Two molecular mechanisms were invoked to explain the different affinity of Giemsa stain for differential BrdU-substituted chromatid DNA, postulated that chromatin structural organization, in terms of DNA-protein and/or protein-protein DNA interaction, is responsible for SCD production.
A male germ cell assay and supporting somatic cells: its application for the detection of phase specificity of genotoxins in vitro
TLDR
A battery of tests used in conjunction with the high throughput STAPUT gravity sedimentation was recently developed for purification of male germ cells to investigate genotoxicity for phase specificity in germ cells and its applications as well as on chemicals of known in vivo phase specificities used during this test system development.
Aroclor 1254-induced genotoxicity in male gonads through oxidatively damaged DNA and inhibition of DNA repair gene expression.
TLDR
The expression of DNA repair genes p53, PARP1 and BAX were up-regulated in testes of mice killed after 3 and 24h of last administration of 4 mg/kg/day Aroclor 1254, and the unrecovered OGG1 may suggest that inhibition of DNA Repair can be considered as a potential mode of action of AroClor 12 54 gonadal toxicity and carcinogenesis.
Distribution of the sex chromosome during mouse spermatogenesis in testis tissue sections
TLDR
This work developed a method of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using specific probes for the X and Y chromosomes to obtain their positional information in histological testis sections and revealed the sex chromosomal position during spermatogenesis in each stage of seminiferous epithelia and in each sPermatogenic cell.
Preparation and in vitro-in vivo evaluation of teniposide nanosuspensions.
Miscellaneous Drugs and Male Reproduction.
TLDR
This chapter reviews the studies of cimetidine and other histamine H2 receptor antagonists in men and experimental species and the evidence for negative effects on reproduction is covered.

Aneuploidy induction in mouse spermatocytes.
TLDR
It is concluded that meiotic delay may be indicative for aneuploidy induction and the evaluation of changes in testicular cell proliferation described here could serve as a prescreen and partially substitute the time-consuming counting of metaphase chromosomes in secondary spermatocytes.
Etoposide and merbarone are clastogenic and aneugenic in the mouse bone marrow micronucleus test complemented by fluorescence in situ hybridization with the mouse minor satellite DNA probe
TLDR
The data demonstrate that VP‐16 and MER induced both clastogenic and aneugenic events despite their different modes of topo II inhibition.
Molecular cytogenetic evaluation of the mechanism of micronuclei formation induced by camptothecin, topotecan, and irinotecan
TLDR
Both the clastogenic and aneugenic potential of these drugs can lead to the development of secondary tumors and abnormal reproductive outcomes, therefore, the clinical use of these agents must be weighed against the risks of secondary malignancies in cured patients and persistent genetic damage of their potential offspring.

TLDR
This study provides the first evidence of the potential of lomefloxacin to induce aneugenic effect in mice, and showed that chromosomes can be enclosed in a micronucleus before and after centromere separation.
