The mutagenic and clastogenic effects of the antineoplastic agents homo-aza-steroidal ester (ASE) and chlorambucil (CBC) were tested for their ability to induce mutations in the Salmonella/microsome system and SCE in CHO cells in culture. ASE was found to be positive in strains TA1535 and TA100 and in the newer strain TA102 with and without metabolic activation, while CBC caused histidine reversion in strain TA102 after the addition of mammalian liver microsomal extract (S9). In addition, both agents were found to be strongly positive for SCE induction. The mutagenic and clastogenic actions of both agents were of a dose-response type. 相似文献

A standard method for determining mutant frequencies per survivor was used to study the detailed kinetics of reverse mutations of Ames tester strains of Salmonella typhimurium induced by UV and by 4N1O. After UV irradiation, strain TA1538 was non-mutable, but its plasmid-containing derivative TA98 was mutable, whereas TA1535 was mutable and its plasmid-bearing derivative TA100 was about 10-fold more mutable. After treatment with 4NQO, TA98 was less mutable than TA1538, whereas TA100 was more mutable than TA1535 by a factor of 10–50. TA1537 was slightly less mutable than TA1535 by either UV or 4NQO. The differential mutabilities of these strains are briefly discussed in relation to the “hot spot” base sequences for reversion and the nature of DNA damage caused by UV and 4NQO. 相似文献

The recent finding that the clinical nitrovasodilator, glyceryl trinitrate (GTN), is mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium strain TA1535 has been examined in closer detail, with emphasis on its mechanism of action. GTN increased the number of His+ revertants to a maximum of 4 times over background at a GTN dose of 5 μmol/plate. Hamster liver S9 depressed the toxicity of high GTN doses and increased the maximum number of revertants to 5 times over background at 10 μmol/plate. GTN did not cause significant reversion in any of the six other S. typhimurium strains tested (TA1975, TA102, TA1538, TA100, TA100NR, YG1026), although signs of toxicity were observed. Therefore, the mutagenicity of GTN was manifest only in the repair-deficient (uvrB and lacking in pKM101) strain which is responsive to single base changes. Oligonucleotide probe hybridization of TA1535 revertants showed that virtually all of the GTN-induced mutants contained C → T transitions in either the first or second base of the hisG46 (CCC) target codon, with a preference for the latter. A similar mutational spectrum was seen previously with a complex of spermine and nitric oxide (NO) which releases nitric oxide. This suggests that NO, which can be derived from GTN via metabolic reduction, may be responsible for GTN's mutagenic action. The known NO scavenger oxymyoglobin did not substantially alter the dose response of GTN, indicating that extracellular NO was not mediating reversion. The data are consistent with the hypothesis that intracellular nitric oxide is responsible for the observed mutations. 相似文献

The mutagenicity of fenitrothion was determined in strains of Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli. Fenitrothion was found to be non-mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium strains of TA98, TA1535 and TA1537 and in Escherichia coli WP2uvrA both with and without S9 mix, while weak mutagenicity was observed only in Salmonella typhimurium TA100 and enhanced by the addition of S9 mix. The mutagenicity observed in the TA100 strain was not expressed in a nitroreductase-deficient strain, TA100 NR, and decreased in a transacetylase-deficient strain, TA100 1,8-DNP6. The mutagenicity of fenitrothion was also examined by a gene mutation assay using the gene for hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (hgprt) in V79 Chinese hamster lung cells. Fenitrothion did not induce any increment of 6-thioguanine-resistant mutant cells at doses ranging from 0.01 to 0.3 mM regardless of the presence or absence of S9 mix. These results suggest that reduction of fenitrothion by a bacterial nitroreductase of TA100 to an active form is essential for the expression of the mutagenicity of fenitrothion in TA100 and that a bacterial transacetylase of TA100 also has an important role in the process of mutagenic activation. 相似文献

The mutagenicity of N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine to Salmonella typhimurium hisG46 was enhanced by pre-incubating the chemical with bacteria in sodium phosphate buffer. Addition of glucose (to 15 mM) to the pre-incubation mixture further enhanced the mutagenicity. Pre-incubation with glucose also increased the mutagenicity of N-methyl-N-nitrosourea. Fructose, galactose, pyruvate and succinate also enhanced the mutagenicity of N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine. The effect of glucose was observed with S. typhimurium strains hisG46, TA1975, TA1950, TA1535 and TA100. 相似文献

When a mixture of N-nitrosomorpholine and S. typhimurium TA100 in saline was irradiated with near-ultraviolet light, mutagenesis of the bacteria took place. The same observation was made with S. typhimurium TA1535, E. coli WP2 uvrA, pKM101 and uvrA/pKM101. Several other nitrosamines showed ed the same, but weaker, effect. Evidence is presented to indicate that the mutagenicity arises from the cellular phosphate-mediated photochemical formation of direct-acting mutagen from the nitrosamine. 相似文献

Ionizing radiation causes formation of heterogeneous types of damage to DNA. Among those, 5-hydroxymethyl-2'-deoxyuridine (HMdU) was identified as a major thymidine derivative in gamma-irradiated HeLa cells [G.W. Teebor, K. Frenkel and M.S. Goldstein (1984) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.), 81, 318-321]. We report here that HMdU is a strong inducer of lambda prophage in Escherichia coli WP2s(lambda) and is highy mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium. HMdU causes his+ revertants in strains TA100, which reverts predominantly by base-pair substitution at G-C sites, and TA97, which reverts mainly by frameshift mutation at G-C sites. It does not cause reversion in TA98, another frameshift-sensitive strain, nor in strains TA1535 and TA1537. Of those tested, only the last two strains do not contain pkM101, a plasmid which enhances mutagenic effects of ionizing radiation. HMdU also causes reversion in strains TA102 and TA104, which detect oxidative damage and can revert by base-pair substitution at A-T base pairs at the hisG428 site. We show that HMdU can be incorporated into DNA of TA100 and that, in addition to causing point mutations, it causes suppressor mutations as well. The ability of HMdU to induce lambda prophage and its strong mutagenicity in Salmonella typhimurium provide evidence that the presence of HMdU in DNA is biologically significant and may play a major role in the genetic consequences of ionizing radiation and other types of oxidative damage. 相似文献

Ochratoxin A (OTA) was, up to now, believed to be non-mutagenic in the classical Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation test. This was confirmed using rat liver microsomal fractions with the strains, TA1535, TA1538 and TA98, and up to 1210 micrograms/plate, utilizing an Ames microtest. However, using mice kidney microsomal fractions as metabolic activators, reverse mutations were obtained with the three strains used, in the presence of either NADP or arachidonic acid as cofactors. The mutagenicity was higher with arachidonic acid than with NADP using the TA1535 strain. This lends support to the results concerning the DNA or dGMP adducts obtained in vitro which were also higher in the presence of arachidonic acid, and indicate that several metabolic pathways of OTA can lead to genotoxic compounds. In addition, both base pair substitutions and frameshift mutations can be caused by OTA after metabolic activation. 相似文献

Mutagenicity testing of biological samples and proteins is complicated by the presence of histidine and histidine-related growth factors which may produce a false positive result in the Ames/Salmonella plate incorporation test. A bioassay method, utilizing an automated dispenser-photometer and Salmonella typhimurium strain TA1535 as the indicator bacteria, was used to estimate the presence of histidine-related growth factors in three enzyme solutions submitted for mutagenicity testing. One of the solutions was clearly positive in the Ames/Salmonella test and also contained the highest amount of L-histidine-HCl-equivalents. The two other solutions, with low or undetectable amounts of L-histidine-HCl-equivalents, gave equivocal and negative results, respectively, in the Ames/Salmonella test. Studies were also performed with strains TA98, TA100 and TA1535 to determine the amount of added L-histidine-HCl that would result in a 'positive' result in the Ames/Salmonella test. Because the minimum amount of L-histidine-HCl required to double the number of revertant colonies was 150 nmol/plate, and the maximum amount of L-histidine-HCl-equivalents supplied by the enzyme preparations was 40 nmol/plate at the highest tested dose, the mutagenicity test results of the enzyme solutions cannot be explained solely by histidine or related compounds. Smokers' and non-smokers' urines, concentrated with liquid extraction (CHCl3) and adsorbent (XAD-2 and XAD-2/Sep-Pak C18) techniques, were studied to reveal differences in efficiencies to extract histidine and histidine-related compounds in the urines. Amounts of 'histidine' in concentrates of urine were measured using the bioassay method and a chemical method employing derivatization with fluorescamine. The fluorescamine method also efficiently detected 3-methyl-L-histidine, a product of muscle metabolism excreted in urine, which was found to be unable to support auxotrophic growth in TA1535, leading to exaggerated estimations of the auxotrophic growth enhancing properties of urine extracts. The urine extracts, and pure L-histidine-HCl, were tested using a two-step fluctuation test to estimate auxotrophic growth factor effects in this type of test. Because of a strong dilution effect when adding the histidine-free selection medium, the fluctuation test employed in this study was not found to be particularly sensitive to growth factors. The results of this study indicate that use of a bioassay, employing the same indicator bacteria as the mutagenicity test themselves, is a reliable way to measure histidine-related growth factors in biological samples.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

We have developed a new Salmonella tester strain, TA97, for use in the Salmonella/microsome mutagenicity test. DNA sequencing has shown that this strain contains and added cytosine, resulting in a run of six cytosines at the mutated site in the histidine D gene. Its mutagenic specificity is similar to that of the frameshift mutagen tester strain, TA1537, which also contains an added cytosine in a run of cytosines and is currently among the five standard tester strains used for general mutagen screening. We assessed the mutagenic potency of 21 frameshift mutagens for TA1537 and TA97. TA97 was considerably more sensitive than TA1537 to reversion by these frameshift mutagens. In addition, one agent, PR toxin (from Penicillium roqueforti), which was not detected by any of the previously existing standard tester strains, did revert TA97; and two substituted aryl-alkyl triazenes, which had not been reported previously to be frameshift mutagens, were mutagenic in this new tester strain. We suggest that TA1537 be replaced by TA97 for general screening of mutagenicity. 相似文献

5 polyhalogenated hydrocarbon natural products isolated from the marine red alga Plocamium spp. were tested for mutagenicity in the Ames reversion assay. All 5 of the compounds induced revertants in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA100 and TA1535, indicating the mutational events involved base substitutions. One of the compounds, designated cross-conjugated ketone, was shown to be almost 200 times more effective as a mutagen than was ethyl methanesulfonate. 相似文献

6-Azido-6-deoxy (AZd) derivatives of D-glucose, D-mannose, D-altrose, D-allose, L-idose, D-galactose, D-galactonic acid and D-galactitol, 3-azido-1,2-propanediol (azidoglycerol), 3,1-diazido-2-propanol (diazidoglycerol) and (at much higher doses) 2-azidoethanol were mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA100 and TA1535. The mutagenic response was similar to that induced by sodium azide, i.e., the azido compounds failed to induce mutations in strain TA98, and mutagenesis was independent of plasmid pKM101, and independent of external activation. The specific mutagenicity (his+ rev/mmole) of AZd-glucose and AZd-galactose was decreased with increasing concentrations of D-glucose or D-galactose in the minimal agar medium and enhanced 100-fold or more when 0.2% citrate rather than 0.2% glucose served as the carbon source in the medium. Similarly, the mutagenic efficiency of azidoglycerol was inhibited by glycerol but not by D-glucose or D-galactose; however, the mutagenicity of sodium azide was not influenced by any of these carbon sources in the medium. The inhibition of the mutagenic action of azido hexoses and azido alcohols by non-azido structural analogs is assumed to reside in competition in transmembrane transport or for the metabolic pathways. 相似文献

Azido analogs of acridine: Photoaffinity probes for frameshift mutagenesis in Salmonella typhimurium
William J. Firth S.Grace Rock Brenda R. Brown Lerena W. Yielding 《Mutation research》1981,81(3):295-309
In order to identify a photoaffinity probe for 9-aminoacridine frameshift mutagenesis, 20 azido analogs of acridine were synthesized and tested in Ames' Salmonella tester strains, TA1535, TA1537, TA1538 and their corresponding excision-repair-proficient strains TA1975, TA1977, and TA1978, to determine their mutagenicity and toxicity relative to 9-aminoacridine. The substituent-mutagenicity patterns observed for these compounds agree very well with those obtained previously for non-azidoacridines. The results presented here show that the 2-azido-analog of 9-aminoacridine demonstrates biological activity similar to 9-aminoacridine prior to photolytic activation. With light activation, however, the 9-amino-2-azido derivative becomes more effective at producing frameshift mutations characteristics of 9-aminoacridine. Furthemore, this photolytic enhancement of mutagenesis appears to be due to the repairable lesion suggesting that covalent attachment of the drug occurs. 相似文献

Incubation of strains TA1530 and TA1535 in the presence of gaseous butadiene increased the number of his+ revertants/plate. This mutagenic effect occured in absence of fortified S-9 rat liver fraction. In its presence, the mutagenic effect seemed to be dependent on its composition. With butadiene monoxide, a reversion to histidine prototrophy was obtained without metabolic activation with strains TA1530, TA1535 and TA100. Butadiene monoxide might be a possible primary metabolite of butadiene. 相似文献

A mutant of Salmonella typhimurium strain TA1535 with decreased glutathione (GSH) levels was isolated after treatment with UV and selection for N-ethyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (ENNG) resistance; this GSH- mutant also exhibited increased resistance to MNNG, the methyl analog of ENNG. Estimation of the cellular GSH content showed that the GSH- derivative contained about 20% of the GSH levels found in TA1535. In mutagenicity tests (hisG46 leads to His+), the GSH- strain required the presence of GSH or L-cysteine in the medium for an optimal phenotypic expression and/or growth of spontaneous and induced His+ revertants, and may, therefore, be allelic to cys mutants of Salmonella described earlier. The mutagenic activity of MNNG, ENNG and 1,2-dibromoethane (DBE), but not that of N-ethylnitrosourea (ENU), was strongly reduced in TA1535/GSH-; pretreatment of the strain with GSH restored the mutagenicity of the first 3 chemicals to levels normally found in TA1535. The results support the current view that MNNG, ENNG and DBE, but not ENU, can be activated via reaction with GSH to species of higher reactivity and mutagenicity. It is concluded that the present GSH- strain can be used to study more systematically the role of GSH in the bioactivation and -deactivation of xenobiotics to mutagenic factors. 相似文献

16 heterocyclic nitrogen mustards (ICR compounds), which were synthesized for use as possible antitumor agents by Creech and coworkers, were tested for mutagenicity in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA1535, TA1536, TA1537, TA1538, TA98 and TA100. The compounds were incorporated into the top agar at 5 doses: 0.5, 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 micrograms/plate. All of the compounds were negative in TA1535 except ICR 449, which was positive in all 6 strains. The other 15 compounds were positive in the remaining strains with the following exceptions: ICR 371 and 355 were negative in TA100; ICR 445 was negative in TA98 and TA100; and ICR 360 was negative in TA1537, TA1538, TA98 and TA100. Good qualitative agreement was observed between the mutagenic and antitumor activities of the 16 compounds, and between the mutagenic and carcinogenic activities of the 5 compounds that have been tested for carcinogenicity by Peck and coworkers. However, no significant correlation was found between mutagenic potency in Salmonella and antitumor potency in mice for the 16 compounds. Also, for the 5 compounds that have been tested for carcinogenicity, no significant correlation was found between their mutagenic potency in Salmonella and their carcinogenic potency in mice. In Salmonella, the secondary (2 degrees) amines generally were more mutagenic than their tertiary (3 degrees) amine homologs, although the opposite result has been reported in certain eukaryotes. Relationships between structures and potencies for the different nuclei of the 16 ICR compounds are discussed, as are similarities and differences in strain sensitivities. We conclude that the Salmonella his reversion test is not a good predictor of the antitumor and carcinogenic potencies of these ICR compounds. 相似文献

The two antimalarial agents chloroquine and mefloquine have been tested for mutagenicity in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA1535, TA1537 and TA1538. Chloroquine was found to revert strain TA1537 at concentrations of 100 and 250 micrograms/ml, most likely due to intercalation. No mutagenicity was found with mefloquine at concentrations up to 2.5 micrograms/ml, neither without nor with metabolic activation by Ca2+-precipitated rat liver microsomes. Higher concentrations of mefloquine and chloroquine inactivated the bacteria. 相似文献

8-Hydroxyguanine (8-OH-G) is an oxidatively damaged guanine base that causes G:C to T:A transversion mutations. To counteract the mutagenicity of 8-OH-G in DNA, humans possess the hOGG1 gene, which encodes 8-OH-G DNA glycosylase. Interestingly, genetic polymorphisms at codon 326 (hOGG1-Ser326 versus hOGG1-Cys326) and at codon 46 (hOGG1-Arg46 versus hOGG1-Gln46) exist in human populations. hOGG1-Ser326 and -Cys326 have Arg at codon 46, and hOGG1-Gln46 has Ser at codon 326. In this study, we examined the abilities of three forms of GST-hOGG1 (hOGG1-Ser326, -Cys326 and -Gln46) to suppress chemically induced oxidative mutagenesis using Salmonella typhimurium strains YG3001 and YG3002. These strains are the mutMST derivatives of Ames tester strains TA1535 (uvrB-) and TA1975 (uvrB+), respectively. The mutMST gene encodes a functional counterpart of the OGG1 gene. Mutations induced by 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide were by more than 95% suppressed by the expression of any of three forms of GST-hOGG1 in strain YG3002. Expression of GST-hOGG1 also reduced by 40 and 60%, respectively, the numbers of His+ revertants induced by methylene blue plus visible light and benzo[a]pyrene plus visible light in strain YG3001. hOGG1-Gln46 displayed a slightly weaker ability to suppress the mutations induced by methylene blue plus visible light than did other two forms although the differences were not statistically significant. About 85 and 95% of spontaneous mutagenesis in strain YG3021 and YG3022, the mutMST mutYST double mutants of strain TA1535 and TA1975, respectively, were suppressed by the expression of any of hOGG1 alleles. hOGG1-Gln46 displayed a weaker suppression than did other two forms in strain YG3022 and the difference was statistically significant. These results suggest that three alleles of the hOGG1 gene efficiently suppress chemically induced and spontaneously occurring oxidative mutagenesis, and that hOGG1-Gln46 may have a weaker ability to suppress the mutations. 相似文献
