Abstract: | The transforming activity of sodium fluoride was studied in the SHE and the BALBl3T3 cell culture systems. Initiating and promoting activities were then investigated by means of the orthogonal methodology. Sodium fluoride was found to induce morphological transformation of SHE cells seeded on a feeder layer of X-irradiated cells at high concentrations (75–125 g/ ml). When the cells were seeded in the absence of a feeder-layer, the transformation frequencies increased in a dose-dependent manner with the concentrations of sodium fluoride ranging from 0 to the highly toxic concentration of 200 g/ml. In the BALBl3T3 cell system, sodium fluoride was negative in the standard Kakunaga procedure, while through the experiment designed by table L8 (27) of the orthogonal method, an initiating-like effect and a weak promoting activity were detected within the concentrations ranging from a 25 g/ ml to a 50 g/ ml concentration which is highly toxic for BALBl3T3 cells. From these results, it is suggested that, besides a genetic mode of action, sodium fluoride could possibly act through a non-genotoxic mechanism.Abbreviations CE cloning efficiency - NaF sodium fluoride - SHE Syrian hamster embryo - TF transformation frequency |
