Details on study design:
To elucidate the mechanism of a synergistic effect of BADGE and bis epoxycyclopentylether on carcinogenicity, the authors have investigated the effects of bis epoxycyclopentylether upon the hydrolysis and DNA-binding of BADGE.

Results and discussion

Details on results:
BADGE was rapidly hydrolyzed by microsomal and cytosolic fractions of mouse liver and skin in 2 mouse strains. Epoxide hydrolase activity in skin cytosolic fractions was demonstrated experimentally. In addition, bis epoxycyclopentylether inhibited the microsomal activities. The inhibition appeared to be slightly more effective with microsomal fractions from the liver.

When high doses of BADGE were applied to mouse skin, one major DNA adduct was observed which was identified as a glycidaldehyde adduct. The adduct was not detectable at the lowest BADGE dose unless epoxycyclopentylether was applied simultaneously. The findings suggest that glycidaldehyde may be formed from BADGE. At low doses, however, the epoxide groups are hydrolyzed before glycidaldehyde can be formed, unless the epoxide hydrolase is inhibited. Such inhibition and the associated increased production of glycidaldehyde may account for the potentiation of the carcinogenic response of the mixture.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Bisphenol A diglycidylether was sequentially hydrolysed to the bis diol via the diol epoxide which showed a transitory accumulation. BADGE is an excellent substrate for mouse liver cytosolic and microsomal epoxide.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The findings suggest that glycidaldehyde may be formed from BADGE. At low doses, however, the epoxide groups are hydrolyzed before glycidaldehyde can be formed, unless the epoxide hydrolase is inhibited. Such inhibition and the associated increased production of glycidaldehyde may account for the potentiation of the carcinogenic response of the mixture.
Executive summary:

Hydrolysis of BADGE by microsomal and cytosolic fractions of mouse liver and skin was examined. The findings suggest that glycidaldehyde may be formed from BADGE. At low doses, however, the epoxide groups are hydrolyzed before glycidaldehyde can be formed, unless the epoxide hydrolase is inhibited. Such inhibition and the associated increased production of glycidaldehyde may account for the potentiation of the carcinogenic response of the mixture.
