30 adult virgin female mice (2 strains) received either high or low doses of Anovlar or Lyndiol oral contraceptives and were tested for induction of dominant lethal mutations. The pregnant mice were dissected on Day 14 of pregnancy and total implantations, early deaths, late deaths, and corpora lutea were counted in each pregnancy. A significant reduction in fertile mating (p .025) was found in 1 strain of those who received the high dose of Lyndiol (10 times that of the low dose, which is physiologically equivalent to the human dose). This dose also increased the number of dead implants in both strains which resulted in higher estimates of dominant lethal mutations. It is concluded that when Lyndiol and Anovlar were given at the physiological dose level to control ovulation in mice, the frequency of dominant lethal mutations was not increased above the control level. 相似文献

The toxic effect of the Ziram fungicide (Zn-dimethyldithiocarbamate) on fertility, its lethal and teratogenic potential were tested on two mouse strains, C3H and AK. The fungicide was administered by gavage to male mice in daily doses of 0.2 mg% and 0.1 mg% along three weeks, then the mice were mated with normal females. Ziram induced changes in the testes and meiotic chromosomes. From among the mated females, 80 per cent of the C3H mice and 20 per cent of the AK remained unfertilized. The dominant lethals have a higher incidence in the AK strain. The skeletal malformation induced were kyphosis, scoliosis, sternum ossification failure; retardation in skeletal development is more obvious in the AK strain. 相似文献

The in vivo clastogenicity of 2-(2-furyl)-3-(5-nitro-2-furyl)acrylamide (AF-2) was examined in the micronucleus test using peripheral blood from three mouse strains (ICR, CD-1, and MS/Ae) and bone marrow from one rat strain (Sprague-Dawley). Doses up to the maximum tolerated were tested. The chemical was given once, twice, thrice, or four times via either the i.p. or p.o. route. Under some conditions, ICR and CD-1 mice showed an increased frequency of micronucleated reticulocytes, but definite conclusions were difficult to draw because the increases were very slight. MS/Ae mice showed a markedly elevated micronucleated reticulocyte frequency after the double and triple ip treatments. Rats showed a slightly but statistically significantly increased frequency of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes after double i.p. treatments. These results indicate that AF-2 is a weak in vivo clastogen. 相似文献

Micronucleus test with vincristine administered by intraperitoneal injection and oral gavage 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The effects of vincristine sulfate (VINC) on micronucleus induction were studied in 2 strains of mice (MS/Ae: CD-1) following intraperitoneal (i.p.) or oral administration (p.o.) of the chemical. On the basis of a small-scale acute toxicity study and a pilot micronucleus experiment, the full-scale micronucleus test was performed with a sampling time of 24 h at doses of 0.063, 0.125, 0.25 and 0.5 mg/kg (i.p.) and 1.25, 2.5, 5.0 and 10 mg/kg (p.o.). The maximum frequency of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes was 7.15% in MS/Ae mice and 4.98% in CD-1 mice at 5.0 mg/kg p.o. in both cases. The maximum frequencies by the i.p. route (9.93% in MS/Ae mice; 11.68% in CD-1 mice) occurred at 0.25 mg/kg and 0.125 mg/kg, respectively. Although the doses showing a positive response were different between the 2 routes, VINC induced micronuclei very efficiently at all doses tested by both administration routes in both strains. 相似文献

The principle of the treatment condition routinely used in Salmonella typhimurium is to allow the cells to divide in the presence of the chemical being tested; only the revertants will be able to form visible colonies (softagar procedure). In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the routinely used procedure is to treat the cells in liquid non-nutrient medium under non-growing conditions (non-nutrient procedure). We compared mutation induction under both experimental conditions using S. cerevisiae; we also compared the mutagenic response of the two microorganisms to six compounds; two nitrofuran derivatives, AF-2 and SQ18,506, three hair dye components, 1,2-diamino-4-nitrobenzene, 1,4-diaminoanthraquinone, and methyl violet, as well as ethyl methanesulfonate. Of the six compounds tested in S. cerevisiae strain XV185-14C, only ethyl methanesulfonate was mutagenic under both experimental conditions. The two nitrofuran derivatives, AF-2 and SQ18,506, induced mutations in S. cerevisiae when the non-nutrient procedure was employed. None of the three hair dyes tested was mutagenic in S. cerevisiae. However, the results obtained with Salmonella typhimurium indicate that the hair dye 1,2-diamino-4-nitrobenzene is a mutagen, confirming the earlier study by Ames et al. [2]. Among the other five compounds tested in Salmonella typhimurium, the base-substitution-detecting strain TA100 responded to one concentration of AF-2, and EMS was mutagenic in strains TA1535, TA100 and TA1537. 相似文献

1. Strain variations among mice in terms of cytosolic DT-diaphorase activity were studied in liver, kidney, stomach and heart tissues with or without the administration of 3-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole (BHA). 2. BHA induced DT-diaphorase activity in all strains examined, and the magnitude of induction varied depending on the strain and tissue. Among the 10 inbred strains tested, BALB/c and C57BL mice showed relatively large magnitudes of induction for liver DT-diaphorase, whereas C3H and CBA mice showed relatively small magnitudes. 3. Results of examinations of BALB/c-C3H-F1, -F2 and C57BL-CBA-F1 mice revealed that smaller magnitudes of induction of liver DT-diaphorase were inherited essentially as a dominant trait. The hereditary trait could be adequately explained by postulating two gene loci that regulate the magnitude of induction. 4. The possible significance of DT-diaphorase activity in chemical carcinogenesis was discussed. 相似文献

Antiflammin-2 (AF2) is a nonapeptide corresponding to the amino acid residues 246-254 of lipocortin-1 showing anti-inflammatory activity both in vitro and in vivo. The effect of AF2 on the thromboxane B(2) (TXB(2)) and histamine release from isolated and perfused guinea-pig lungs has been studied. AF-2 (10-100 nM) inhibited leukotriene C(4)- (LTC(4)) (3 ng) and antigen-induced (ovalbumin, 1 mg) TXB(2) release in normal and sensitized lungs, respectively. In contrast AF-2 (100 nM) did not modify TXB(2) release induced by histamine (5 mug) or bradykinin (5 mug) in normal lungs. Antigen-induced histamine release was not affected by 100 nM AF-2 infusion. When tested in chopped lung fragments AF-2 (0.1-25 muM) did not modify the release of histamine and TXB(2) induced by antigen (ovalbumin, 10 mug ml(-1)) or calcium ionophore A 23187 (1 muM). Our results show that the inhibitory effect of AF-2 on TXB(2) release is selective and depends on the stimulus applied. In this respect AF-2 mimics, at least in part, the actions of both glucocorticoids and lipocortin-1. 相似文献

Mice from 8 to 21 inbred strains were tested for sensitivity to ethanol intoxication using a range of doses and three different measures: the screen test, the dowel test and a test of grip strength. Strains differed under nearly all conditions. For the dowel test, two dowel widths were employed, and mice were tested immediately or 30 min after ethanol. For the dowel and screen tests, low doses failed to affect some strains, and the highest doses failed to discriminate among mice, maximally affecting nearly all. For grip strength, a single ethanol dose was used, and mice of all strains were affected. Pharmacokinetic differences among strains were significant, but these could not account for strain differences in intoxication. For doses and test conditions in the middle range, there were only modest correlations among strain means within a test. In addition, genotypic correlations across tests were modest to quite low. These results suggest that different specific versions of a test reflect the influence of different genes, and that genetic influences on different tests were also distinct. 相似文献

The effect of route of administration on the outcome of the mouse micronucleus test was evaluated in 2 laboratories by administering 2-acetylaminofluorene (2-AAF) by intraperitoneal injection (i.p.) and oral gavage (p.o.) to 2 mouse strains, MS/Ae and CD-1. On the basis of a small-scale acute toxicity study and a pilot micronucleus test, the full-scale experiment was performed with a 24-h sampling time at doses ranging from 75 to 600 mg/kg by both routes. The results indicated that 2-AAF induced micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes (MNPCEs) at all doses tested by both routes. In the MS/Ae strain, higher doses were required by p.o. than by i.p. to reach a similar level of MNPCE incidence. On the other hand, similar responses were recorded by both administration routes with CD-1 mice. Since the LD50 for the p.o. route was higher than that for the i.p. route in both strains, the route-related difference with MS/Ae mice became small when the comparison between i.p. and p.o. was made on the basis of the LD50. Thus both i.p. and p.o. routes are acceptable in the micronucleus test of this chemical. 相似文献

Possible mutagenic effect of cadmium chloride was studied by determining the frequency of dominant lethal mutations induced in germ cells of male mice. Water solution of CdCl2 was injected intraperitoneally to male mice at doses of 1.0, 2.0 and 4.0 mg/kg. The results obtained did not reveal any mutagenic effect of this compound. The dose of 4.0 mg/kg CdCl2 resulted in the death of spermatocytes and spermatogonia and the sterility of male mice. Cadmium chloride at a dose of 2.0 mg/kg did not affect the frequency of dominant lethal mutation induced by gamma-rays 60Co at a dose of 450 r in germ cells of male mice. 相似文献

Methyl vinyl sulfone and divinyl sulfone were tested for the induction of dominant lethal mutations and micronucleated bone-marrow erythrocytes in male mice. These chemicals were chosen for study because of their similarities in structure and chemical reactivity to acrylamide which is known to induce both effects. Following administration of the test compounds by intraperitoneal injection at the maximum tolerated doses, no evidence of induced dominant lethal mutations or micronucleayed bone-marrow cells was observed for either chemical. It is concluded that structures and Michael reactivities similar to acrylamide are not sufficient to impart similar in vivo genetic toxicity to MVS and DVS. 相似文献

Aqueous, caffeine free and tannin fractions of commercial tea and tannic acid were tested for mutagenicity in Ames test. Tea fractions of tannic acid were non mutagenic in strains TA 100, TA 98, TA 1535 and TA 1538 of Salmonella typhimurium with or without metabolic activation (rat-S9 mix) at different doses tested. In strain TA 98 the above tea fractions and tannic acid inhibited the S9 mix mediated mutagenicity of tobacco in a dose dependent manner. The different tea fractions at 60 degrees C, did not increase the tumor incidence in Swiss mice by gavage feeding. They also failed to produce tumors when injected subcutaneously. Caffeine free tea extract decreased the tobacco induced liver tumors but had no effect on lung tumors. The same fraction was ineffective in hexachlorocyclohexane induced liver tumors in Swiss mice. 相似文献

Background
Antiflammin-1 (AF-1), a derivative of uteroglobin (UG), is a synthetic nonapeptide with diverse biological functions. In the present study, we investigated whether AF-1 has a protective effect against bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis.Methods
C57BL/6 mice were injected with bleomycin intratracheally to create an animal model of bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis. On Day 7 and Day 28, we examined the anti-inflammatory effect and antifibrotic effect, respectively, of AF-1 on the bleomycin-treated mice. The effects of AF-1 on the transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1)-induced proliferation of murine lung fibroblasts (NIH3T3) were examined by a bromodeoxycytidine (BrdU) incorporation assay and cell cycle analysis.Results
Severe lung inflammation and fibrosis were observed in the bleomycin-treated mice on Day 7 and Day 28, respectively. Administration of AF-1 significantly reduced the number of neutrophils in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and the levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) in the lung homogenates on Day 7. Histological examination revealed that AF-1 markedly reduced the number of infiltrating cells on Day 7 and attenuated the collagen deposition and destruction of lung architecture on Day 28. The hydroxyproline (HYP) content was significantly decreased in the AF-1-treated mice. In vitro, AF-1 inhibited the TGF-β1-induced proliferation of NIH3T3 cells, which was mediated by the UG receptor.Conclusions
AF-1 has anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic actions in bleomycin-induced lung injury. We propose that the antifibrotic effect of AF-1 might be related to its suppression of fibroblast growth in bleomycin-treated lungs and that AF-1 has potential as a new therapeutic tool for pulmonary fibrosis. 相似文献18.
Propylene oxide is used extensively in the chemical and food manufacturing industries, but relatively little is known of its ability to interact with genetic material. Studies were undertaken to investigate its ability to induce gene mutations and primary DNA damage in bacteria and chromosomal damage in mammalian cells. The induction of base-substitution mutations was demonstrated in spot tests with strains of Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli at 700 micrograms/plate of propylene oxide; inclusion of a preparation of rat-liver microsomes and cofactors (S9 mix) was without significant effect on this response. A linear dose--response relationship was recorded in plate tests with S. typhimurium strains TA100 and TA1535 over the range 100--750 micrograms/plate. After addition to dividing lymphocytes in cultures established from human peripheral blood, propylene oxide caused dose-related chromosomal damage, detected at 1.85 and 9.25 micrograms/ml. Oral administration of propylene oxide at 2 x 100, 2 x 250 or 2 x 500 mg/kg to male mice produced no detectable increases in the incidence of micronucleated, polychromatic erythrocytes in bone marrow. A male mouse dominant lethal test employing oral doses of 50 or 250 mg/kg/day for 14 days gave no evidence of mutagenic action on sperm. Intraperitoneal injections of propylene oxide at 2 x 300 mg/kg induced increased numbers of micronucleated erythrocytes in mice, but lower doses given by this route had no such effect. Possible reasons for the contrasting findings in vitro and in vivo are discussed. 相似文献

Inoculation of rabbits with a nonliving anti-Pseudomonas vaccine induced appreciable levels of agglutinating antibodies against strains of P. aeruginosa included or not included in the vaccine. Serum obtained from vaccinated rabbits was able to confer temporary protection to mice against challenge with homologous or heterologous strains of Pseudomonas. When two or three doses of serum were used, all mice survived the challenge dose for more than 48 hr, but some of the animals died 10 days after challenge. When five doses of serum were used, all mice survived this 10-day period, and even 4 months later they did not show any sign of infection. Serum treatment temporarily inhibited Pseudomonas activity and allowed for the activation of the immunogenic mechanisms of the animals. This was corroborated by the fact that mice treated with three doses of serum and surviving the challenge dose for more than 20 days were immune against a second challenge. Anti-Pseudomonas gamma globulin conferred a lower degree of protection against homologous or heterologous strains of Pseudomonas. 相似文献

Ir gene-controlled response to haptenated hen ovomucoid: isotypic specificity and dominant nonresponsiveness 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We have examined the isotypic pattern of the response of mice to the Ir gene-controlled antigen, dinitrophenyl-ovomucoid (DNP-OM). H-2 kappa mice are high responders (HR); (H-2b,d mice are low responders (LR). The isotype patterns of HR and LR strains differ both quantitatively and qualitatively. In the primary response to doses of 20-100 micrograms DNP-OM, HR strains produce IgM and IgG antibodies, whereas LR strains produce only IgM. Background genes modify the kinetics of the IgGl primary response in HR strains, but no background was found which allowed an IgG response in a LR strain. In secondary responses, priming with 0.2 microgram DNP-OM increases secondary responses in HR strains, and decreases them in LR strains. Control of this response maps to I-A, and is not altered by the bm 12 I-Ab mutation. The LR phenotype is dominant in (HR X LR)F1 mice. 相似文献
