Studies on micronuclei time response and on the effects of multiple treatments of mutagens on induction of micronuclei

Abstract:Micronuclei time response and the effects of multiple treatments of mutagens on induction of micronuclei were studied. In the time-response investigation, mice were treated once with each of 5 mutagens, then killed at various times. The bone marrow was examined for the presence of micronucleated erythrocytes (MNEs). The maximal frequencies for MNEs occurred around 30 h post treatment for all mutagens tested. To examine the effects of multiple treatments, the frequencies of MNEs observed after a single- or a 5-treatment schedule were compared for 9 mutagens. Both treatment schedules were equally sensitive in detecting alkylating agents and spindle poisons, whereas the 5-treatment schedule was more sensitive for anti-metabolites. The 5-treatment schedule was particularly effective for detecting the anti-metabolites 5-fluorouracil and methotrexate, which require longer than 30 h to induce micronuclei (Maier and Schmid, 1976). These results suggest that it is practicable to sample at 30 h in the single-treatment schedule, and seem to support the usefulness of the 5-treatment schedule in screening tests.
