The white-ivory test is based upon the reversion of the X-linked, recessive eye-colour mutation white-ivory to wild-type. Somatic reversion of white-ivory results in clones of red facets in the white-ivory eyes of eclosing adult flies. 4 anti-cancer drugs, bleomycin, adriamycin, mitoxantrone and cyclophosphamide were found to significantly increase the white-ivory reversion frequency whereas cytosine arabinoside, methotrexate and vincristine did not give positive results. 相似文献

The mutagenic and cytotoxic effects of 4 antineoplastic drugs, vinblastine, vincristine, adriamycin and nitrogen mustard and of several monofunctional alkylating agents have been assayed in V79 Chinese hamster cells. Vincristine, vinblastine and nitrogen mustard did not significantly increase the frequency of TGRHGPRT? mutants but were all highly cytotoxic. Adriamycin and the monofunctional alkylating agents were all significantly mutagenic even at the lowest doses tested (approx. 70 % survival level). Induced mutant frequency increased linearly with increasing dose whereas dose-response curves for cytotoxicity for these effective mutagens invariably showed a shoulder followed by an exponential decline. At equitoxic doses the relative mutagenic effectiveness was MNU ENU EMS MMS ? DMS. MNU was approx. 20 times more effective than MMS and DMS.Measurement of the total amount of alkylation and the relative amounts of reaction with individual DNA bases at approx. equitoxic doses of MNU and DMS indicated a significantly higher O6/N7 ratio after MNU (0.15) than after DMS (0.005). However, approx. equal numbers of mutants/105 cells/μM O6-Meguanine were induced by these 2 agents. These results support previous conclusions, that mutagenic and cytotoxic responses are independent in V79 cells. 相似文献

Specific and nonspecific macromolecule-drug conjugates for the improvement of cancer chemotherapy 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
E Hurwitz 《Biopolymers》1983,22(1):557-567
Antineoplastic drugs such as daunomycin, adriamycin, methotrexate, 5-fluorouridine, cytosine arabinoside, and platinate were bound to antibodies directly or via a polymeric bridge. The drug antibody conjugates retained most of their drug and antibody activities when tested in vitro. Daunomycin–antibody conjugates were shown to penetrate tumor cells in the conjugated form. In animals, daunomycin–antibody conjugates were at least as effective chemotherapeutically as the corresponding free drugs and considerably less toxic. In some tumor systems, the daunomycin–antibody conjugates represented an improvement over the free drug. This improvement was restricted in some tumors to a particular injection route of the tumor and the treatment. 相似文献

Microsome- and hepatocyte-mediated mutagenicity of hydroxyurea and related aliphatic hydroxamic acids in V79 Chinese hamster cells 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The potential of N-hydroxyurea to induce gene mutations in V79 Chinese hamster cells was investigated. Upon metabolic activation by liver microsomes from phenobarbital-treated rats or by isolated rat hepatocytes co-cultured with the V79 cells, hydroxyurea caused a concentration-dependent increase in the frequency of HGPRT-deficient mutants. Hydroxyurea was not mutagenic in the absence of metabolic activation. Addition of catalase inhibited microsome-mediated mutagenicity, indicating that hydrogen peroxide was involved in the formation of the mutagenic DNA lesion. Acetohydroxamic acid and N-hydroxyurethane also induced hepatocyte-mediated mutagenicity, suggesting that the potential to elicit metabolism-dependent mutagenicity may be a common property of aliphatic hydroxamic acids. 相似文献

Methylglyoxal, at concentrations ranging from 0.16 to 1.5 mM, caused a dose-dependent increase in the frequency of HGPRT-deficient mutants in V79 cells. Its mutagenic activity was reduced when V79 cells were co-cultured with freshly isolated rat hepatocytes. 相似文献

Although non-toxic, 1,8-dinitropyrene (1,8-DNP) was mutagenic for mouse lymphoma L5178Y cells when assayed for induced resistance to 6-thioguanine, methotrexate, ouabain and 1-β-D-arabinofuranosyl cytosine. In bacteria, nitropyrenes are potent inducers of frame-shift mutations, and the induction of ouabain-resistant mutants, believed to be due to base-pair substitutions, suggests that the mechanism of action may be different in mouse cells and bacteria. Long treatment times were required to detect 1,8-DNP-induced mutants in L5178Y cells, suggesting the possibility of an inducible activation system. 4-Nitroquinoline 1-oxide was both toxic and mutagenic to these same 4 mutation assays after short (2 h) treatment times. The dilemma that exists when comparing the mutagenic potential of test chemicals when concentration of mutagen, treatment times and toxicity are markedly different, is discussed. 相似文献

We studied the synergistic enhancement effects of two chemicals which are different in their mechanism of action on DNA in cells. The test chemicals used were ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) as an alkylating agent and cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C) as an analogue of cytidine. For determination of mutagenesis we measured the induction of resistance to 6-thioguanine (6-TG) in Chinese hamster V79 cells. EMS had a strong mutagenic effect on V79 cells, but for Ara-C the results were less clear. In this study, Ara-C had no detectable effect in inducing mutation up to a concentration of 5 X 10(-4) M. The mutation frequency of combined treatment with EMS and Ara-C was significantly higher than that obtained with EMS alone. These results indicate that Ara-C had an enhancing effect on mutations induced by EMS. 相似文献

Previous studies indicated that PK-15 pig kidney cells express solely a nitrobenzylthioinosine-sensitive, equilibrative nucleoside transporter. In the present study, PK-15 cells were mutagenized by treatment with ICR-170 and nucleoside transport-deficient mutants selected in a single step in growth medium containing tubercidin and cytosine arabinoside at a frequency of about 2 x 10(6). The mutants were simultaneously at least 100-times more resistant to tubercidin, cytosine arabinoside and 5-fluorodeoxyuridine than the wild-type parent cells. The mutants failed to transport thymidine and uridine and had lost all high affinity nitrobenzylthioinosine binding sites. Residual low level uptake of thymidine by the mutants was shown to be due to nonmediated permeation (passive diffusion), which explains the sensitivity of the mutants to growth inhibition by high concentrations of the nucleoside drugs. Passive diffusion of thymidine at a concentration of 16 microM was not rapid enough to support the growth of nucleoside transport-deficient mutant cells that had been made thymidine-dependent by treatment with methotrexate, whereas wild-type cells grew normally under these conditions. The nucleoside transport-deficient mutants exhibited about the same growth rate and plating efficiency (60-80%) as wild-type cells, but formed larger colonies than wild-type cells because of a more extensive spread of the cells on the surface of culture dishes. PK-15 cells adhere very strongly to the surface of culture dishes and have been transformed with high efficiency with plasmid DNA either via lipofection or electroporation. 相似文献

Cytotoxicity and genotoxicity testing of sodium fluoride on Chinese hamster V79 cells and human EUE cells. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The cytotoxic effects of sodium fluoride (NaF) on hamster V79 cells and human EUE cells were studied by measuring the cloning efficiency and DNA, RNA and protein synthesis in cells cultured in the presence of NaF. Potential mutagenicity of NaF was followed on the basis of induced 6-thioguanine-resistant mutants in treated Chinese hamster V79 cells. The results showed that the addition of 10-150 micrograms of NaF per ml of culture medium induced 10-75% cytotoxic effect on hamster V79 cells but had no toxic effect on human EUE cells. NaF was cytotoxic to human EUE cells at considerably higher concentrations (200-600 micrograms/ml). Growth of both cell types with 100 and 200 micrograms of NaF per ml caused inhibition of 14C-thymidine, 14C-uridine and 14C-L-leucine incorporation. This means that NaF inhibits macromolecular synthesis whereby damaging effects were less drastic in human EUE cells. The results of detailed mutagenicity testing on hamster V79 cells showed that NaF did not show any mutagenic effect after long-term (24-h) incubation of hamster cells in the presence of 10-400 micrograms of NaF per ml of culture medium. 相似文献

A series of 19 short chain dialkyl N-nitrosamines was studied for mutagenic activity in an uninduced hamster hepatocyte V79 cell-mediated mutagenesis system. Ouabain was used as the selective agent to quantitatively analyze for chemically induced mutants. None of the nitrosamines was mutagenic in the absence of hamster hepatocyte activation. The relative mutagenic activities of the nitrosamines at an equimolar dose are presented. The results of the study indicated that: (a) increasing alkyl chain length decreased mutagenic activity; (b) oxidation of the carbon position to a carbonyl group increased the mutagenic activity of symmetrical and asymmetrical nitrosamines, whereas oxidation to a hydroxyl group only increased the mutagenic activity of the asymmetrical nitrosamines tested and (c) the carbon position at which oxidation occurred was important in determining mutagenic activity. The relationships between structure, metabolic activation, and mechanisms of mutagenic activity are discussed. 相似文献

A technique involving culture in soft agar was used for the assay of forward mutation of V79 cells to 6-thioguanine (6TG) resistance. The main reason for the use of soft agar was to prevent reduction in recovery of mutants depending on the cell density plated for mutation selection, which is the chief problem in the liquid method, and which results mainly from metabolic co-operation due to cell-to-cell contact.V79 cells grew well in fortified soft agar medium (DMEM + 20% FBS) showing cloning efficiencies (>80%) as high as in liquid culture. Therefore, V79/HGPRT mutagenesis could be assayed quantitatively in soft agar culture.The frequency of 6TG-resistant colonies in agar selective medium increased linearly with increase in concentration of EMS. Toxicity and mutagenic responses were greater in soft agar than in liquid culture.In cultures of untreated and EMS-treated cells, more than 95% of the 6TG-resistant colonies isolated were aminopterin-sensitive.Use of soft agar for selection prevented the reduction in the number of mutants with increase in the size of incula on plating up to 1?2 × 106 cells per 9-cm dish: in liquid culture, even with a lower plating number (2 × 105 cells per 9-cm dish), a notable reduction in numbers of mutants was observed. This character was re-examined in a reconstruction experiment. The results show that, when up to 2 × 106 cells were plated per 9-cm dish, 6TG-resistant cells were almost completely recovered from the soft agar medium, whereas only 10% were recovered from liquid culture. 相似文献

The results of combined chemotherapy and chemoradiotherapy of 158 patients with small cell lung cancer are presented. Adriamycin was used as one of the components of the induction chemotherapy of 98 out of the 158 patients. Chemoradiotherapy (nitrosomethylurea, methotrexate, CCNU, adriamycin, vincristine, DTIC, radiotherapy) was performed according to 4 schemes and combined chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, methotrexate, or CCNU, cyclophosphamide, methotrexate plus adriamycin, vincristine, natulan) was performed according to 2 schemes. The total efficacy (complete and partial regression) of the 6 schemes averaged to 80 per cent. The number of patients with complete regression amounted to 29 per cent. Long-term survival for more than 2 years was observed in 17 per cent of the patients. No signs of metastases or relapses for 5 years were recorded in 6 per cent of patients. Adriamycin is one of the most active antitumor drugs in combined chemotherapy and chemoradiotherapy of small cell lung cancer. 相似文献

Ten model mutagens evaluated by the micronucleus test. 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
The following ten mutagenic compounds were subjected to the micronucleus bone marrow test (MNT) in the mouse: cyclophosphamide (CTX), thiotepa (TT), vincristin (VCR), colcemid (COLC), adriamycin (AM), bleomycin (BM), cytosin arabinoside (ARA C), 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP), methotrexate (MTX) and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). Dose-effect curves were established for all compounds. With the exception of CTX, COLC and AM, the drugs also were subjected to chromosome analyses on Chinese hamster fibroblasts in vitro. The MNT revealed loss of chromatin due to chromosome breakage and rearrangements by CTX, TT and AM, to breakage by ARA C, 6-MP, MTX and 5-FU, as well as loss of entire chromosomes caused by impairment of the spindle by VCR and COLC. With the exception of BM, the effects were demonstrable in the therapeutic dose range. The MNT, provided it is carried out by the methodology of the authors, not only reveals chromatin loss but permits important conclusions in regard to the proliferative state of the bone marrow and the specific time of action of the mutagens in the cell cycle. If arrest of the cell cycle occurs, as in the case of anti-metabolites MTX and 5-FU particularly, the routine scheme of investigation needs to be modified since micronucleated cells appear only after release of the metabolic block, i.e. after a delay of 24 h. The negative bone marrow results obtained with BM emphasize the importance of combining in vivo and in vitro tests. 相似文献

Thirty adult patients suffering from acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANLL) were treated according to a modified COAP regimen. Vincristine, cyclophosphamide, and prednisone were given by push injection, while cytosine arabinoside was infused over periods of 8 h. Nineteen patients (63%) achieved complete remission. Remission maintenance therapy consisted of 6-mercaptopurine daily and methotrexate twice weekly. Later in the study, COAP consolidation and reinduction was added, which improved the median duration of complete remission from 7 to 24 months. Comparison of the results with the literature shows that the modified COAP regimen is one of the most effective treatment schedules for adult ANLL. 相似文献

Several pharmaceutical drugs show strong hepatotoxicity during therapeutic use. We have studied 6 of them: aminophenazone, clofibrate, nifuroxazide, oxamniquine, perhexiline maleate, tienilic acid. Their mutagenicity was assessed in the Ames test on 6 strains of Salmonella typhimurium, and in V79 Chinese hamster lung cells using a rat-hepatocyte-mediated metabolic activation system and the HGPRT and Na+/K+ ATPase assay. Nifuroxazide was positive in the Ames test in two Salmonella strains (TA100, and TA100 Fr1). In the hepatocyte-mediated mammalian V79 cell system, nifuroxazide, clofibrate and aminophenazone were negative; oxamniquine and tienilic acid were positive with and without metabolic activation in tests looking for ouabain and 6-thioguanine resistance. Perhexiline maleate was negative for the direct induction of 6-thioguanine resistance without metabolic activation, and positive after metabolisation mediated by primary rat's hepatocytes. These results suggest the need for some caution in the use of some pharmaceutical drugs because of hepatotoxicity and because 3 out of 6 drugs were shown to be slightly mutagenic in mammalian cells. 相似文献

Health concerns have arisen due to the formation of N-nitrosodibenzylamine (NDBzA; CAS No. 5336-53-8) in pork processed in a new type of rubber netting. In view of the potent carcinogenicity of related nitrosamines (e.g. N-nitroso-n-dibutylamine and N-nitrosodiethylamine), NDBzA was evaluated for genotoxicity in vitro in both Chinese hamster V79 cells and in Salmonella. In V79 cells, concentrations up to 25 micrograms/ml were tested with and without activation by rat or hamster hepatocytes. Significant elevation of SCE frequency was seen only at 25 micrograms/ml in the presence of uninduced hamster hepatocytes. Mutation to 6-thioguanine resistance was observed at 25 micrograms/ml, in the absence of hepatocytes and in the presence of induced (Aroclor 1254) or uninduced hamster hepatocytes, but not with rat hepatocytes. With uninduced rat hepatocytes, a small but significant (p less than 0.05) increase in the mutation frequency was seen with 10 micrograms/ml NDBzA. In the Salmonella assay, using a pre-incubation protocol and concentrations up to 1000 micrograms/ml, NDBzA was negative in strain TA98, and in TA100 with rat S9, but was positive at the highest dose in TA100 with hamster S9, and more strongly with Aroclor 1254-induced hamster S9. When activated by uninduced rat or hamster hepatocytes, as opposed to S9, NDBzA was negative with all tester strains. Hamster hepatocytes activated more than rat in the V79 studies, and hamster S9 was more strongly activating in the Salmonella assay. These results indicate that NDBzA is weakly mutagenic to both Salmonella and V79 cells. 相似文献

Spontaneous and methyl methanesulphonate-induced HPRT-deficient mutants were analysed for changes in the hprt gene structure using multiplex polymerase chain reaction. The PCR amplification pattern of 21 MMS-induced mutations revealed one total deletion of the hprt coding exons and one small deletion within exon 5, while 19 mutants showed the V79 wild-type pattern. Molecular analysis of 30 spontaneous mutations revealed no mutants with amplification patterns which differed from those of wild-type cells. We further analysed MMS-induced mutants in a different V79 cell line with a high (40%) spontaneous deletion frequency. MMS caused a dose-dependent increase in the mutant frequency but the incidence of deletions was reduced to 6% at 2 × 10−4 M and to 13% at 5 × 10−4 M indicating that mainly point mutations were induced. The repair inhibitor cytosine arabinoside (araC) enhanced mutation induction by MMS but did not change the proportion of deletions in the mutation spectrum. The results indicate that different V79 cell lines spontaneously produce different amounts of deletion mutations. The frequency of MMS-induced deletions does not depend on the frequency of spontaneous deletions in a given cell line. The MMS-induced mutation spectrum seems to be unchanged even at high concentrations with a strong cytotoxic effect. Deletions are not increased as a consequence of araC-inhibited repair of MMS-inducd lesions. 相似文献

The mutagenic effects of etintidine (BL-5641), a novel histamine H2-receptor antagonist, were assessed using mutation in Salmonella typhimurium, Escherichia coli, and V79 Chinese hamster cells (V79 cells). Etintidine did not increase the revertant colonies in the presence or absence of S9 mix at concentrations from 5 to 5000 micrograms/plate in either of the bacterial tester strains. Etintidine also did not increase 6-thioguanine- and ouabain-resistant colonies in V79 cells in the presence or absence of S9 mix even at 37% cellular survival concentration. There was no evidence that etintidine had any mutagenic activity in any of the tests. 相似文献

Metabolic activation and DNA binding of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), N-nitrosodimethylamine (DMN) and benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) were compared in human, rat and mouse hepatocytes and human pulmonary alveolar macrophages (PAM). The degree of carcinogen activation by hepatocytes and PAM was measured by cell-mediated mutagenesis assays in which co-cultivated Chinese hamster V79 cells were used to monitor mutagenic metabolites. Hepatocytes from human, mouse and rat metabolized DMN and released the active metabolites to induce either ouabain- or 6-thioguanine-resistant mutation. The mutation frequencies mediated by hepatocytes of the 3 animal species were approximately 3-9 mutants/10(5) survivors at a concentration of 0.2 mM DMN. The variations of radioactivity bound to liver cell DNA were relatively small in cultured mouse, rat, and human hepatocytes exposed to 14C label DMN (0.5 mM) and the binding values were in a range of 6-12 X 10(3) pmoles/mg DNA. However, rat hepatocytes were at least 10-fold more effective than either human or mouse hepatocytes in generating mutagenic metabolites of AFB1 and also had a much higher AFB1 metabolite DNA-binding value. The AFB1 DNA-binding levels were 4.1, 12-27 (range), 120 pmoles/mg DNA respectively in mouse, human, and rat liver cells following AFB1 (3.3 microM) exposure for 20 h. Hepatocytes from the 3 animal species were unable to mediate mutation in the presence of 4 microM B[a]P; PAM activated B[a]P and effectively mediated mutation in the co-cultivated V79 cells. In contrast to results with hepatocytes, PAM failed to generate enough mutagenic metabolites of AFB1 (3.3 microM) and the mediation of mutations was seen only at very high concentration of DMN (80 mM). The genotoxic effects of the 3 carcinogens on hepatocytes from different species in vitro were in agreement with the in vivo animal experiments in that mice are relatively resistant to AFB1 carcinogenesis whereas rats are sensitive; B[a]P is not effective as a complete liver carcinogen in adult rat and mouse whereas DMN induces liver cancer. 相似文献
