- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- The study investigated the test item in form of nano- and micro-sized particles. The mean size distribution of test item particles were 42.63 ± 23 nm for nano-particles and 2.95 ± 31 µm for micro-particles. Both particles acted comparable in the MNT assay, therefore this record focuses on micro-sized particles only.

Examinations
- Tissues and cell types examined:
- polychromatic erythrocytes (PCEs) were examined and scored for presence of micronuclei
- Details of tissue and slide preparation:
- CRITERIA FOR DOSE SELECTION: Selection of highest dose was based on induction of a toxic effect without severe sufferings and mortality, and lowest dose showed slight adverse effects.
TREATMENT AND SAMPLING TIMES ( in addition to information in specific fields):
24 h after the last treatment, animals were sacrified, femurs removed, bone marrow was collected and centrifuged.
DETAILS OF SLIDE PREPARATION:
The centrifuged cells were spreaded on slides and dried in humidified air overnight. Afterwards, fixiation with methanol and staining with Giemsa (prepared in PBS) was conducted. According to OECD 474 (version from 1997) the study was performed. For each animal 3 slides were made.
METHOD OF ANALYSIS:
The slides were examined under a microscope (1000x magnification) and 2000 PCEs per animal were randomly selected and scored for existing micronuclei.
- Evaluation criteria:
- A significant difference to control results in a positive result.
- Statistics:
- - results were expressed as means ± standard deviation (S.D.)
- statistically significant changes were analyzed using one-way ANOVA
- Multiple comparisons were performed using Dunnett’s test
- statistical significance for all tests was set at a p-value below 0.05
- for calculations Graph Pad Instat 3 software for Windows was used
Results and discussion
Test results
- Key result
- Sex:
- male/female
- Genotoxicity:
- positive
- Toxicity:
- yes
- Remarks:
- At highest dose rats showed dullness, irritation and moribund symptoms (no mortality), reduction in body weight gain and feed intake (but loss was not significant)
- Vehicle controls validity:
- valid
- Negative controls validity:
- not examined
- Positive controls validity:
- valid
- Additional information on results:
- The animals, which were treated with 1000 mg/kg bw/d, showed a significant increase in the frequency of micronuclei-PCEs compared to vehicle control. Compared to controls, MnO2-treated groups induced a slight decrease in calculated %PCEs, which indicates the occurrence of cell death. The authors of the study concludes that a possible explanation might be the existence of clastogenic effects, which are involved in micronuclei formation.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The repeated daily exposure to manganese dioxide for 28 days, showed in a micronucleus test a statistically significant increase in polychromatic erythrocytes at the highest dose level compared to negative control. Therefore manganese dioxide was considered to be genotoxic.
- Executive summary:
In a micronucleus test comparable to OECD guideline 474, the manganese dioxide was administered to male and female Wistar rats (5 per dose) orally by gavage at various doses (0, 30, 300, and 1000 mg/kg bw/d) daily for 28 d and bone marrow cells extracted from the femurs were collected 24 after the last treatment. For each animal three slides were prepared and thereof a total of 2000 polychromatic erythrocytes were scored for the presence of micronuclei. Both controls, negative and positive (cyclophosphamide), were valid. A statistically significant increase in polychromatic erythrocytes compared to negative control was seen at the highest dose level, indicating a genotoxic effect of manganese dioxide.
