Examinations
- Tissues and cell types examined:
- polychromatic erythrocytes (PCE)
- Details of tissue and slide preparation:
- Slide preparation:
The animals were sacrificed by cervical dislocation. The femora were removed, the epiphyses were cut off and the marrow was flushed out with fetal calf serum, using a syringe. The cell suspension was centrifiiged at 1500 rpm (390 x g) for 10 minutes and the supernatant was discarded. A small drop of the resuspended cell pellet was spread on a slide. The smear was air-dried and then stained with May-Grünwald (MERCK, D-64293 Darmstadt)/Giemsa (Gurr, BDH Limited Poole, Great Britain). Cover slips were mounted with EUKITT (KINDLER, D-79110 Freiburg). At least one slide was made from each bone marrow sample.
Analysis of cells:
Evaluation of the slides was performed using NIKON microscopes with 100x oil immersion objectives. At least 1000 polychromatic erythrocytes (PCE) were analysed per animal for micronuclei. To describe a cytotoxic effect the ratio between polychromatic and normochromatic erythrocytes was determined in the same sample and expressed in normochromatic erythrocytes per 1000 the PCEs. The analysis was performed with coded slides.
Five animals per sex and group were evaluated as described. The remaining 6th animal of each test group was evaluated in case an animal had died in its test group. - Evaluation criteria:
- A test article is classified as mutagenic if it induces either a dose-related increase in the number of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes or a statistically significant positive response for at least one of the test points.
A test article producing neither a dose-related increase in the number of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes nor a statistically significant positive response at any of the test points is considered non-mutagenic in this system.
However, both biological and statistical significance should be considered together. - Statistics:
- Statistical significance was evaluated by means of the nonparametric Mann-Whitney test.
Results and discussion
Test results
- Key result
- Sex:
- male/female
- Genotoxicity:
- negative
- Toxicity:
- no effects
- Vehicle controls validity:
- valid
- Negative controls validity:
- not examined
- Positive controls validity:
- valid
- Additional information on results:
- At preparation interval 24 hours one male and one female died.
At preparation interval 48 hours one male and one female died.
At preparation interval 72 hours one male died.
The mean number of normochromatic erythrocytes was increased after treatment with the test article at preparation interval 48 hours as compared to the mean value of NCEs of the corresponding negative control, indicating that the test substance had cytotoxic properties.
In comparison to the corresponding negative controls there was no enhancement in the frequency of the detected micronuclei at any preparation interval after application of the test article. The mean values of micronuclei observed after treatment with the test substance were in the same range as compared to the negative control groups.
40 mg/kg b.w. cyclophosphamide administered per os was used as positive control which showed a distinct increase of induced micronucleus frequency.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The test substance did not induce micronuclei as determined by the micronucleus test in the bone marrow cells of the mouse
- Executive summary:
The test substance was assessed in the micronucleus assay for its potential to induce micronuclei in polychromatic erythrocytes (PCE) in the bone marrow of the mouse.
The test article was suspended in carboxymethylcellulose-solution (1%). This suspending agent was used as negative control. The volume administered orally was 20 ml/kg bw. 24 h, 48 h and 72 h after a single application of the test article the bone marrow cells were collected for micronuclei analysis.
Ten animals (5 males, 5 females) per test group were evaluated for the occurrence of micronuclei. 1000 polychromatic erythrocytes (PCE) per animal were scored for micronuclei.
To describe a cytotoxic effect due to the treatment with the test substance the ratio between polychromatic and normochromatic erythrocytes (NCE) was determined in the same sample and reported as the number of NCE per 1000 PCE.
The following dose level of the test article was investigated: 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h preparation interval: 5000 mg/kg bw.
In a pre-experiment this dose level was estimated to be the maximum attainable dose. The animals expressed slight toxic reactions. In the micronucleus assay three males and two females died after administration of the test article.
The mean number of normochromatic erythrocytes was increased after treatment with the test article at preparation interval 48 hours as compared to the mean value of NCEs of the corresponding negative control, indicating that the test substance had cytotoxic properties.
In comparison to the corresponding negative controls there was no enhancement in the frequency of the detected micronuclei at any preparation interval after application of the test article. The mean values of micronuclei observed after treatment with the test substance were in the same range as compared to the negative control groups.
40 mg/kg bw cyclophosphamide administered per os was used as positive control which showed a distinct increase of induced micronucleus frequency.
In conclusion, it can be stated that during the study described and under the experimental conditions reported, the test substance did not induce micronuclei as determined by the micronucleus test in the bone marrow cells of the mouse.
