The potential application of the Comet assay for monitoring genotoxicity in the freshwater mussel Dreissena polymorpha was explored and a preliminary investigation was undertaken of the baseline levels of DNA damage in mussel haemocytes of animals kept at different temperatures. In addition, in vitro cell sensitivity against genotoxicants was assessed in relation to increasing temperatures. The mussels were kept at four different constant temperatures (4, 18, 28 and 37 degrees C) for 15 h. The haemocytes withdrawn were treated in vitro with melphalan, as a model genotoxic compound, or sodium hypochlorite, a common water disinfectant capable of producing mutagenic/carcinogenic by-products, at the established temperatures for 1h. The data obtained in vivo, in cells directly withdrawn from the mussels showed a significant (P<0.001, Student's t test) inter-individual variability, probably due to genetic and epigenetic factors and an increasing amount of DNA damage at increasing temperature. Mussel haemocytes showed a clear dose-response effect after in vitro melphalan treatment. Hypochlorite treatment also significantly increased DNA migration: the damage was temperature dependent, with a similar increase at 4 and 28 degrees C and a minimum level at 18 degrees C. This study demonstrates the potential application of the Comet assay to haemocytes of D. polymorpha. However, these findings suggest that temperature could alter both DNA damage baseline levels in untreated animals and cell sensitivity towards environmental pollutants in in vitro conditions. Therefore, more information is needed about seasonal variations and the natural background levels of DNA damage in mussels living in the wild, before they are used for the monitoring of genotoxic effects in aquatic environments.  相似文献

The single-cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE) assay and the micronucleus (MN) test were carried out with haemocytes of Zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) specimens to evaluate the potential genotoxicity of benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) and pp'-dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (pp'-DDE, a metabolite of pp'-DDT). Mussels were exposed to three different concentrations (0.1 microg/L, 2 microg/L, 10 microg/L) of each chemical in water during 168 h (SCGE assay) and 96 h (MN test) of exposure under laboratory conditions. These levels correspond to nominal molar concentrations of 0.4 nM, 7.9 nM and 40 nM for BaP and 0.3 nM, 6.2 nM and 31 nM for pp'-DDE, respectively. Concurrently, the levels of toxicants were measured in soft tissues of the mussels by gas-chromatographic analyses, to evaluate their temporal trends and the dose/response relationships. Significant increases of the ratio between the comet length and the diameter of the comet head (LDR) and of micronucleus frequencies in comparison with baseline levels were observed not only for all concentrations of BaP, but also for pp'-DDE (except 0.3 nM). The concentration above which DNA damage starts to be significantly increased was 0.8 nmol/g lipids for BaP and 1.6 nmol/g lipids for pp'-DDE, respectively. The results of these experiments show a clear genotoxic effect on this non-target organism not only for the well-known genotoxicant BaP, but also for the final metabolite of pp'-DDT at soft-tissue concentrations that have been found in several aquatic ecosystems worldwide.  相似文献

Until recently, knowledge about the genotoxicity of roxarsone in vitro or in vivo was limited. This study assessed the genotoxicity of roxarsone in an in vitro system. Roxarsone was tested for potential genotoxicity on V79 cells by a Comet assay and a micronucleus (MN) test, exposing the cells to roxarsone (1-500 μM) and to sodium arsenite (NaAsO?, 20 μM) solutions for 3-48 h. Roxarsone was found to be cytotoxic when assessed with a commercial cell counting kit (CCK-8) used to evaluate cell viability, and moderately genotoxic in the Comet assay and micronucleus test used to assess DNA damage. The Comet metrics (percentages TDNA, TL, TM) increased significantly in a time- and concentration-dependent manner in roxarsone-treated samples compared with PBS controls (P<0.05), while the data from samples treated with 20 μM NaAsO? were comparable to those from 500 μM roxarsone-treated samples. The MN frequency of V79 cells treated with roxarsone was higher than that in the negative control but lower than the frequency in cells treated with 20 μM NaAsO?. A dose- and time-dependent response in MN induction was observed at 10, 50, 100 and 500 μM doses of roxarsone after 12-48 h exposure time. The DNA damage in V79 cells treated with 500 μM roxarsone was similar to cells exposed to 20 μM NaAsO?. The uptake of cells was correlated with the DNA damage caused by roxarsone. This investigation depicts the genotoxic potentials of roxarsone to V79 cells, which could lead to further advanced studies on the genotoxicity of roxarsone.  相似文献

The frequency of micronuclei (MN) induced by pentachlorophenol (PCP) in haemocytes of zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha Pall. and great ramshorn snail, Planorbarius corneus L. was determined over a 14 days of exposure (sampling after 4, 7 and 14 days) under laboratory conditions. PCP doses for zebra mussel ranged from 10 to 150 microg/l, and for ramshorn snail from 10 to 450 microg/l. Micronuclei were detected after bisbenzimide fluorescent staining. Positive responses were observed in both species. The mean MN frequencies in treated mussels ranged between 0.69 and 7.50 per thousand, and between 2.07 and 13.80 per thousand in treated snails. The spontaneous MN levels in mussels averaged from 0.5 to 2.75 per thousand, and in snails from 1.56 to 2.00 per thousand. Our results suggest that haemolymph of both species represent an appropriate test tissue in environmental genotoxicity assessment.  相似文献

Additives, especially colors, are in widespread use in the food industry. With the exception of the quinolines, food colors are relatively weak mutagens and are certified as safe additives despite reports that some people have allergic reactions to them. The number of food additives is still on the increase, and research on their potential mutagenic/carcinogenic activity in vivo is very expensive. Using two different cellular model systems, human lymphocytes in vitro and Vicia faba root tip meristems of in vivo, we evaluated the potential cytological and genotoxic effects of two dyes: Quinoline Yellow (E 104) and Brilliant Black BN (E 151). Two relatively new, very sensitive and rapid tests - the micronucleus and Comet assays - were used in this study. The data provided in this paper showed the genotoxic effects of the two analyzed food colors, and confirmed the diagnostic value of the MN and Comet assays for screening potentially genotoxic substances.  相似文献

The herbicide paraquat (PQ), still widely used in developing countries, represents a serious risk factor for human and environmental health. To test the sublethal effects of PQ on the freshwater bivalve Dreissena polymorpha, mussels were exposed to 0.125, 0.250, 0.500 mg/L for 7 and 14 days and histologically screened. PQ's genotoxic potential was also determined in haemocytes by the micronucleus, MN, assay. At concentrations > or = 0.250 mg/L, severe lesions, such as cellular vacuolation, lysis and thinness of the germinative epithelia were observed in the digestive gland and testis. A positive trend between the number of granulocytes and all PQ concentrations was observed in both gonads and digestive glands, addressing the inflammatory capacity of this herbicide on these tissues. Mussels exposed to PQ also exhibited a significant MN induction. The spontaneous MN frequencies ranged from 2.75 to 0.425 per cent, while PQ-induced MN rates in treated mussels were between 3.50 and 1.250 per cent. The histopathological effects on the digestive and reproductive systems, as well as the MN induction in the haemocytes, confirmed the cytotoxic and genotoxic effects of PQ also in D. polymorpha.  相似文献

Male CBA mice and male Sprague-Dawley rats were treated by i.p. injection of glycidamide (GA), the presumed genotoxic metabolite of acrylamide (AA). GA was obtained through a new way of synthesis. As an endpoint of chromosome damage, micronucleus (MN) induction in erythrocytes was measured. Hemoglobin (Hb) adducts were used as a measure of in vivo dose of GA. GA induced linear dose-dependent increases in adduct levels in both species. Rats exhibit, compared with mice, 30% higher Hb adduct levels per unit of administered amount of GA. The incremental MN frequencies per administered dose of GA in mice showed a linear-quadratic dose-dependent curve. In the rat no positive dose-response relationship was obtained, probably due to toxic effects to the bone marrow. The main result of this study is the finding that after treatment with synthetic GA the MN frequency per unit of the in vivo dose of GA in the mouse is very similar to that obtained in a previous study, where animals were treated with AA and GA as a metabolite. This equality in potency of GA, whether its in vivo dose is established by injection of synthetic GA or through metabolism of AA, supports the view that GA is the predominant genotoxic factor in AA exposure.  相似文献

This review considers the potential of the Comet assay (or Single Cell Gel Electrophoresis, SCGE) to evaluate the environmental impact of genotoxins in aquatic environments. It focuses on in vivo and in situ studies that have been carried out in various marine and freshwater sentinel species, published in the last 5 years. A large number of the studies reviewed report that the Comet assay is more sensitive when compared with other biomarkers commonly used in genetic ecotoxicology, such as sister chromatid exchanges or micronucleus test. Due to its high sensitivity, the Comet assay is widely influenced by laboratory procedures suggesting that standard protocols are required for both fish and mussel cells. However, there are still a wide variety of personalised Comet procedures evident in the literature reviewed, making comparison between published results often very difficult. Standardization and inter-laboratory calibration of the Comet assay as applied to aquatic species will be required if the Comet assay is to be used routinely by national bodies charged with monitoring water quality.  相似文献

The use of chlorinated disinfectants during drinking-water production has been shown to generate halogenated compounds as a result of interactions of humic acids with chlorine. Such chlorinated by-products have been shown to induce genotoxic effects and consumption of chlorinated drinking-water has been correlated with increased risk for cancer induction in human populations. The aim of this work was to test the potential genotoxic effects on circulating erythrocytes of the fish Cyprinus carpio exposed in vivo to well-waters disinfected with sodium hypochlorite (NaClO), chlorine dioxide (ClO2) or peracetic acid (CH3COO2H, PAA), in the absence or presence of standard humic acids (HA). The effects were measured by use of the micronucleus (MN) and the single-cell gel electrophoresis (Comet) assays at different sampling times after a 3-day exposure period. The exposure to chlorine disinfectants without the addition of HA produced a clear toxic effect. Significant cytogenetic damage (i.e. MN induction) was detected in fish populations exposed to both NaClO and ClO2 with humic acids. In the Comet assay, a significant decrease of DNA migration was observed in erythrocytes of specimens after exposure to NaClO-disinfected water without HA. No effects were observed in any other experimental condition.  相似文献

Summary Rats were continuously exposed to constant activity of tritium in drinking water (HTO group) or to tritium organically bound in food (T-food group) in the period from conception ofF 1 generation through maturity. Female offspring were killed at the age of 21 and 71 days and the oocytes in their ovaries were counted. Mean dose rates absorbed in the ovaries were for the HTO groups 7.25 ± 0.37 and 14.73 ± 0.79 mGy/day and for the T-food group 4.84 ± 0.25 mGy/day.Reduction in the oocyte number in the ovaries of females exposed to tritiated food was bigger than in the ovaries of females exposed to tritiated water. The dependence of the survival of small oocytes on the dose rate and the corresponding total accumulated dose had an exponential character. The damaging effect of tritium was for the period from conception to 21 days of age bigger than from 21 to 71 days of age. Of all stages of oocyte development, the highest sensitivity to tritium irradiation was observed in small oocytes and oocytes with one complete layer of follicle cells. As a result, relative number of the growing and large oocytes increased.  相似文献

The effects of tritium (HTO) beta-rays on human sperm chromosomes were studied using our interspecific in vitro fertilization system between human spermatozoa and zona-free hamster oocytes. Semen samples were treated with media containing 1.53-24.3 mCi/ml HTO for about 80 min. 1290 spermatozoa from the controls and 1842 spermatozoa from the irradiated groups were karyotyped. The incidence of spermatozoa with structural chromosome aberrations increased linearly with increasing dosage. Breakage-type aberrations occurred far more frequently than exchange-type. Chromosome-type aberrations appeared far more frequently than chromatid-type. All of these types of aberrations showed linear dose-dependent increases. The RBE values of HTO beta-rays relative to X-rays were calculated for the above-mentioned 5 indices, respectively. Their RBE values ranged from 1.89 to 3.00 when the absorbed dose was estimated to be the minimum, whereas the values ranged between 1.04 and 1.65 when the absorbed dose was estimated to be the maximum.  相似文献

We have measured the level of DNA damage induced by treating roots (cellular Comet assay) and isolated root nuclei (acellular Comet assay) of catalase-deficient (CAT1AS) and wild-type (SR1) tobacco with the promutagen o-phenylenediamine (o-PDA) and the direct acting genotoxic agents hydrogen peroxide and ethyl methanesulphonate (EMS). The roots of CAT1AS have about 60% less catalase activity compared to the roots of SR1. The promutagen o-PDA applied on tobacco roots induced significantly higher levels of DNA damage in the CAT1AS transgenic line than in SR1, while after application of o-PDA on isolated root nuclei, no DNA damage could be detected. In the catalase-deficient line CAT1AS about six-fold lower concentrations of H(2)O(2) are sufficient to induce the same levels of DNA damage as in SR1. By contrast, after treatment of isolated root nuclei with H(2)O(2) no difference in the induced levels of DNA damage was observed between CAT1AS and SR1. The DNA damaging effect of EMS was not affected by the presence of catalase in the tobacco roots and the levels of DNA damage measured by the cellular and acellular assay were similar.Comparing the effects of genotoxic agents in both the cellular and acellular Comet assays may help to elucidate their mechanism of action. Differences in both systems may reveal the participation of scavengers and of repair and metabolic enzymes on the activity of the genotoxic agent and the role of the cell wall in preventing the agent from reacting with nuclear DNA.  相似文献

Female mice were given different dosages (0, 3.0, 7.5, 15.0, or 30 muCi/ml) of tritium in their drinking water continuously from 3 to 7 weeks of age to assess the effects on germ cell chromosomes. At 8-9 weeks of age, mice were superovulated and metaphase II oocytes were processed and C-banded for cytogenetic analyses. Chromatid acentric fragments were the only type of structural aberration detected, and their incidence was higher in controls than in any of the tritiated water (HTO) groups. Analysis of numerical chromosomal aberrations revealed that the incidence of hypoploid (N = 19) oocytes was higher in oocytes from mice who drank HTO as compared with controls. However, the effects of HTO upon aneuploidy induction was not definitive due to the increase the incidence of aberrations in mouse oocytes can be related to the low dose rate resulting from chronic HTO exposure and possibly death of tritium-damaged cells.  相似文献

The relative importance of different sites of alkylation on DNA was determined by comparing two ethylating agents. 1-Ethyl-1-nitrosourea (ENU) ethylates DNA with a higher proportion of total adducts on ring oxygens than ethyl methanesulfonate, which ethylates with a higher proportion of total adducts on the N-7 of guanine. Research with somatic cells in culture and prokaryotes strongly suggests that O6-guanine (O6-G) is the principal genotoxic site. To determine the importance in germ-line mutagenesis of the O6-G site relative to the N-7 of guanine, dose-response curves were constructed for both ENU and EMS, where dose was measured as total adducts per deoxynucleotide (APdN) and response as sex-linked recessive lethals (SLRL) induced in Drosophila melanogaster spermatozoa. For both mutagens the dose response curve was linear and extrapolated to the origin. The dose-response curve for ENU was fit to an equation m = 6.2D, and the dose response curve for EMS, from this and previous experiments, was m = 3.2D where m = %SLRL and D = APdN X 10(-3). Therefore, ENU is 1.9 times more efficient per adduct in inducing SLRL mutations than EMS. In vitro studies showed that ENU induced 9.5% of its total adducts on O6-G while EMS induced 2.0% of its adducts on O6-G. If O6-G was the sole genotoxic site, then ENU should be 4.8 times more efficient per adduct than EMS. In contrast, if N-7 G was the sole genotoxic site, ENU would be only 0.19 as effective as EMS. It was concluded that while O6-G was the principal genotoxic site, N-7 G made a significant contribution to germ-line mutagenesis.  相似文献

A working group convened at the 2009 5th IWGT to discuss possibilities for improving in vivo genotoxicity assessment by investigating possible links to standard toxicity testing. The working group considered: (1) combination of acute micronucleus (MN) and Comet assays into a single study, (2) integration of MN assays into repeated-dose toxicity (RDT) studies, (3) integration of Comet assays into RDT studies, and (4) requirements for the top dose when integrating genotoxicity measurements into RDT studies. The working group reviewed current requirements for in vivo genotoxicity testing of different chemical product classes and identified opportunities for combination and integration of genotoxicity endpoints for each class. The combination of the acute in vivo MN and Comet assays was considered by the working group to represent a technically feasible and scientifically acceptable alternative to conducting independent assays. Two combination protocols, consisting of either a 3- or a 4-treament protocol, were considered equally acceptable. As the integration of MN assays into RDT studies had already been discussed in detail in previous IWGT meetings, the working group focussed on factors that could affect the results of the integrated MN assay, such as the possible effects of repeated bleeding and the need for early harvests. The working group reached the consensus that repeated bleeding at reasonable volumes is not a critical confounding factor for the MN assay in rats older than 9 weeks of age and that rats bled for toxicokinetic investigations or for other routine toxicological purposes can be used for MN analysis. The working group considered the available data as insufficient to conclude that there is a need for an early sampling point for MN analysis in RDT studies, in addition to the routine determination at terminal sacrifice. Specific scenarios were identified where an additional early sampling can have advantages, e.g., for compounds that exert toxic effects on hematopoiesis, including some aneugens. For the integration of Comet assays into RDT studies, the working group reached the consensus that, based upon the limited amount of data available, integration is scientifically acceptable and that the liver Comet assay can complement the MN assay in blood or bone marrow in detecting in vivo genotoxins. Practical issues need to be considered when conducting an integrated Comet assay study. Freezing of tissue samples for later Comet assay analysis could alleviate logistical problems. However, the working group concluded that freezing of tissue samples can presently not be recommended for routine use, although it was noted that results from some laboratories look promising. Another discussion topic centred around the question as to whether tissue toxicity, which is more likely observed in RDT than in acute toxicity studies, would affect the results of the Comet assay. Based on the available data from in vivo studies, the working group concluded that there are no clear examples where cytotoxicity, by itself, generates increases or decreases in DNA migration. The working group identified the need for a refined guidance on the use and interpretation of cytotoxicity methods used in the Comet assay, as the different methods used generally lead to inconsistent conclusions. Since top doses in RDT studies often are limited by toxicity that occurs only after several doses, the working group discussed whether the sensitivity of integrated genotoxicity studies is reduced under these circumstances. For compounds for which in vitro genotoxicity studies yielded negative results, the working group reached the consensus that integration of in vivo genotoxicity endpoints (typically the MN assay) into RDT studies is generally acceptable. If in vitro genotoxicity results are unavailable or positive, consensus was reached that the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is acceptable as the top dose in RDT studies in many cases, such as when the RDT study MTD or exposure is close (50% or greater) to an acute study MTD or exposure. Finally, the group agreed that exceptions to this general rule might be acceptable, for example when human exposure is lower than the preclinical exposure by a large margin.  相似文献

For most crops growing in polluted areas or treated with agricultural chemicals, no genotoxicity assays are available. We have studied the possibility of using the alkaline protocol of the plant-based molecular assay — the Single Cell Gel Electrophoresis (SCGE) assay (also called Comet assay) as a method for detecting induced DNA damage in 8 agronomic important plants (ordered according to the diameter of the nuclei): sugar beet, alfalfa, tobacco, lentil, maize, potato, hard wheat, and bread wheat. The monofunctional alkylating agent ethyl methanesulphonate (EMS) was applied as a model genotoxic agent on young excised leaves of the tested crops for 18 h at 26 °C in the dark. With increasing concentrations of 2 to 10 mM EMS, the DNA damage, expressed by the averaged median tail moment values, significantly increased in nuclei of all crops studied. No correlation between the diameter of nuclei and sensitivity to EMS treatment was observed. The data obtained demonstrate the feasibility of using the Comet assay for detecting induced DNA damage in crops. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

氚水在模拟水稻-水-土壤生态系统中的行为   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4  
采用模拟污染物的同位素示踪技术研究HTO(流水)在水稻-水-土壤模拟生态系统中的迁移、消长行为,并应用三库室开系统模型和非线性回归方法确定了水稻、水和土壤分室的拟合方程.结果表明,田表水中的HTO不仅在系统各分室间转移和分配,而且迅速向系统外散逸;HTO中的流以自由水氚和结合态流形式存在于水稻中,以吸湿性水流和结晶水氚存在于土壤,其中自由水氚(或吸湿性水氚)的比活度大于结合态流(或结晶水氚);水稻植株和土壤中HTO比活度随时间增加至最大值后又趋于下降,而结合态氚则呈缓慢增加;水稻茎秆中的总氚比活度高于其它各部位,而后逐渐趋于动态平衡.对实验数据进行回归分析得:田表水、土壤和水稻植株中的总氚比活度分别为Cw(t)=32.19c^-0.0353t 99.94c^-0.330t、Cs(t)=20.42(e^-0.0353t-e^-0.330t)和Cr(t)=38.49c^-0.0353t-10.13e^-0.330t-28.36c^-2.5744t。方差分析结果表明,各回归方程较好地反映了HTO在水稻-水-土壤生态系统中的行为.  相似文献

The study was done to investigate the content of manmade radionuclides in aquatic organisms of the Yenisei River near the Mining-and-Chemical Combine (MCC) and to estimate the exposure dose rates to organisms from various sources. The results of the investigation and calculations suggest that the main source of radioactive contamination of aquatic organisms is the coolant of the third MCC reactor, which is still being released into the Yenisei. Gamma-spectrometric analysis revealed 23 manmade radionuclides in the biomass of aquatic plants. The aquatic animal Phylolimnogammarus viridis and diatoms also contain manmade radionuclides. Among aquatic organisms, the highest dose rate is received by aquatic plants (up to 39 microGy/day). For most aquatic organisms under study, the dose received from the technogenic irradiation is an order of magnitude higher than the dose received from natural irradiation. The water moss (Fontinalis antipyretica) features the highest capacity to accumulate manmade radionuclides; hence, it accumulates the largest technogenic exposure dose among the study aquatic organisms.  相似文献

Mussel micronucleus cytome assay   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
The micronucleus (MN) assay is one of the most widely used genotoxicity biomarkers in aquatic organisms, providing an efficient measure of chromosomal DNA damage occurring as a result of either chromosome breakage or chromosome mis-segregation during mitosis. The MN assay is today applied in laboratory and field studies using hemocytes and gill cells from bivalves, mainly from the genera Mytilus. These represent 'sentinel' organisms because of their ability to survive under polluted conditions and to accumulate both organic and inorganic pollutants. Because the mussel MN assay also includes scoring of different cell types, including necrotic and apoptotic cells and other nuclear anomalies, it is in effect an MN cytome assay. The mussel MN cytome (MUMNcyt) assay protocol we describe here reports the recommended experimental design, sample size, cell preparation, cell fixation and staining methods. The protocol also includes criteria and photomicrographs for identifying different cell types and scoring criteria for micronuclei (MNi) and nuclear buds. The complete procedure requires approximately 10 h for each experimental point/sampling station (ten animals).  相似文献

Estuarine and coastal habitats are known to be polluted by a range of chemical contaminants from both industrial and domestic sources. Blue mussels (Mytilus spp.), which inhabit these areas, are widely used as bio-indicators in eco-toxicological studies, because of their sedentary nature and their ability to bio-accumulate contaminants. The analysis of DNA damage in mussel haemocytes is a valuable tool for biomonitoring but sampling issues related to storage, handling and transportation have often limited its application in large-scale monitoring programmes. This study uses a trial and error method to evaluate and validate a suitable protocol for cryopreservation of mussel haemocytes, thereby allowing material collected in the field to be analysed later under controlled laboratory conditions. Three different cell-culture media, i.e. Leibovitz-15, Hank's balanced salt solution and mussel physiological saline, along with four different cryoprotectants, i.e. dimethyl sulphoxide (10% and 20%), 1,2-propanediol (10%), ethylene glycol (10%) and glycerol (10%) were tested to assess their suitability for cryopreservation of mussel haemocytes for analysis in the comet assay. Experimental studies where mussel haemocytes were also exposed to UV radiation or benzo(a)pyrene were conducted in order to mimic environmental stresses and to verify the effectiveness of newly defined cryopreservation protocols. The comet assay was used to demonstrate that mussel haemocytes could be preserved at cryogenic temperatures for a month without altering levels of DNA damage, which could possibly be used for lab or field studies where time constraints or facilities do not allow instant analysis.  相似文献
