用SOS/umu测试评价光电催化降解五氯酚过程的遗传毒性特征

采用SOS/umu测试研究了五氯酚水溶液在光电催化反应过程中的遗传毒性变化及降解产物对鼠伤寒沙门氏菌TA1535/pSK1002的细胞毒性,并与五氯酚在直接光解、光催化反应过程中的降解产物进行了比较.五氯酚光电催化降解过程中降解产物对测试菌种的细胞毒性逐渐降低,产物经代谢活化的细胞毒性低于直接光解、光催化降解五氯酚的产物.五氯酚经光电催化降解15￣45分钟的产物经代谢活化测试结果呈阳性,在60￣120分钟的降解产物呈阴性,说明五氯酚的光电催化降解过程中生成了间接遗传毒性物质,但该类物质能够在光电催化过程中被去除.而五氯酚经直接光解、光催化处理120分钟的产物均具有遗传毒性风险.本研究结果表明光电催化技术的环境安全性优于直接光解、光催化技术.此外,SOS/umu测试作为一种简单、灵敏的遗传毒性物质检测方法,适合于评价光电催化技术的遗传毒性特征,可以作为评价该技术环境安全性的生态毒理学方法之一.     

环境化学致癌物联苯胺和六氯苯对大鼠肝线粒体酶活性的影响（Effects of Environmental Chemical Carcinogens Benzidine and 1,2,3,4,5,6-Hexachlorocyclohexane on Enzyme Activities of Rat Liver Mitochonria）

采用不同浓度(50、100、200mg·kg-1)的联苯胺(Benzidine)和不同浓度(200、400、800mg·kg-1)的六氯苯(1,2,3,4,5,6-Hexachlorocyclohexane),通过对大鼠进行体内染毒建立毒性作用动物模型,分析了大鼠肝脏线粒体抗氧化物酶及呼吸代谢和能量转换酶(SOD、GSH-Px、COX和Ca2+-ATPase、Mg2+-ATPase)活性的变化.结果表明,在低浓度联苯胺(50mg·kg-1)和六氯苯(200mg·kg-1或400mg·kg-1)作用下酶活性出现应激反应,而高浓度联苯胺(100、200mg·kg-1)和六氯苯(800mg·kg-1)则显示出明显的抑制作用.分析认为,联苯胺和六氯苯可能经体内代谢活化后,对线粒体DNA及其转录和翻译系统产生作用,导致线粒体代谢功能紊乱,这可能是联苯胺和六氯苯毒性作用对线粒体损伤的主要机制.     

利用SOS/umu测试评价某电子垃圾处理地土壤的遗传毒性

由电子垃圾不当处理引起的环境污染问题已经引起普遍关注.采用SOS/umu测试方法对我国南方某电子垃圾处理地23个土壤样品的有机提取物的直接和间接遗传毒性进行了初步的评估和筛选.结果表明,在有机提取物最高暴露浓度相当于100mg·well-1时,只有很少一部分样品检出直接遗传毒性,而绝大多数样品的有机提取物经过代谢活化后,表现出遗传毒性.与对照地区土壤相比,从事电子垃圾回收处理的地区土壤中存在间接致突变物质的积累,这可能与当地粗放形式的电子垃圾处理活动有关.     

测定5种高环多环芳烃毒性当量因子并应用于太湖梅梁湾表层沉积物分析

作用位点和作用机理相同的污染物通常具有毒性加合作用,但是各个污染物对总体毒性的贡献并不相同,因此需要采用等毒性当量方法进行归一化．本研究选取了5种具有较强芳烃受体效应的多环芳烃(PAHs),通过大鼠肝癌细胞株H4ⅡE体外EROD酶诱导试验,得到相应的剂量／效应关系曲线,并计算了单个PAH的毒性当量因子 (EROD-TEF)．研究结果表明,不同PAH对EROD响应的EC50有较大区别,毒性相对强弱按照苯并[k]荧蒽>茚并 [1,2,3-cd]芘>苯并[a]芘>苯并[b]荧蒽>苊的顺序递减,对应的EROD-TEF值分别为1．1×10-4、3．0×10-5、3．9×10-6、 2．8×10-6和1．5×10-6．利用所得到的EROD-TEF值和气相色谱-质谱(GC-MS)联用方法测定的太湖梅梁湾地区表层沉积物中16种PAHs的浓度,计算得到5种PAHs的2,3,7,8-TCDD毒性当量TEQPAH,并与体外EROD酶诱导生物测试方法测得的表层沉积物毒性当量EROD-TEQ进行了比较．结果显示,两者间存在较好的线性关系(r2=0．65, p<0．05),证明实验测得的EROD-TEF值能够用于实际样品的分析;所研究的沉积物样品中5种PAHs对总芳烃受体效应的贡献均大于50％,表明PAHs是太湖梅梁湾地区表层沉积物中主要的芳烃受体效应活性物质,其可能引起的环境风险应得到进一步重视．     

利用改进的SOS/umu方法检测水处理过程中污染物的遗传毒性效应

SOS/umu遗传毒性测试方法被广泛应用于化合物和复杂混合物遗传毒性的评价,但是目前已报道方法的实验周期长达17 h,给实验操作带来了不便,因此亟需对常规方法进行改进。建立了测试周期可小于8 h(2 h预培养,4.5 h暴露培养) 的SOS/umu快速测定方法之后,应用改进后的方法对5种典型遗传毒性物质, 4-硝基喹啉1-氧化物(4-NQO)、丝裂霉素C(MMC)、甲磺酸甲酯(MMS)、2-氨基蒽(2-AA)和苯并芘(BaP)进行测定,结果表明,改进后的SOS/umu方法对4-NQO、MMC、MMS、2-AA和BaP的检测限分别为0.013±0.0031、0.031±0.0028、229.18±60.51、2.29±1.22和1.28±0.0698 μmol·L^-1,优于或者相当于报道方法。采用经典方法和改进后的方法对全国两个地区6个环境水样的遗传毒性进行测定,结果表明,两种方法检测出的6个环境水样的遗传毒性强度无显著性差异。另外,将研究方法应用于北方某市甲乙两个水厂原水、出厂水和管网水的遗传毒性评价,结果表明,两个水厂的原水、出厂水和管网水均表现出一定的直接遗传毒性,对应的4-NQO当量浓度(TEQ4-NQO)在0.0012 μg·L^-1至0.0129 μg·L^-1之间;加入鼠肝微粒体酶系统(S9)后,仅有乙水厂的管网水检测出极其微弱的遗传毒性效应。以上研究结果表明,改进后的SOS/umu快速测定方法能够实现在短时间（8h）内完成环境化合物及环境样品的遗传毒性检测,为筛选和评价化合物和复杂环境样品的遗传毒性提供了更为快捷的手段。     

PFOS致大鼠肝毒性及其作用机制研究

通过全氟辛烷磺酸(perfluomoctane sultanate,PFOS)大鼠灌胃染毒实验评价PFOS对肝功能的影响,探讨PFOS肝毒性反应的潜在机制与可能途径。将Sprague Dawley (SD)雄性大鼠随机分为3组,分别以0 mg·kg~(-1)、5 mg·kg~(-1)和10 mg·kg~(-1)PFOS灌胃染毒28 d。以HE和油红染色法观察大鼠肝脏形态改变。ELISA法测定各组谷丙转氨酶(alanine aminotransferase,ALT)、谷草转氨酶(aspartate transaminase,AST)、碱性磷酸酶(alkaline phosphatase,ALP)含量变化。化学比色法测定肝匀浆脂代谢水平和氧化产物含量。RT-PCR法检测肝脏内氧化应激以及脂代谢相关基因表达水平。结果表明,PFOS暴露大鼠体重显著降低而肝脏系数显著增加(P0.05),与对照组相比PFOS组血清肝功能酶均出现随PFOS浓度增加而升高(P0.05)。同时大鼠肝脏谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(glutathione peroxidase,GSH-px)和丙二醛(malondialdehyde,MDA)水平在高剂量组显著升高(P0.05),超氧化物歧化酶(superoxide dismutase,SOD)含量先显著升高(P0.05)后显著降低(P0.05)。且肝脏中脂代谢水平也随PFOS浓度的增加而出现显著改变(P0.05)。PFOS组基因表达均较对照组显著上升(P0.05)。以上结果说明PFOS具有明显的肝毒性作用,可影响肝脂代谢水平,这可能与PFOS引起的氧化应激所导致的损伤有关。     

具有微囊藻毒素清除能力的乳酸菌的分离筛选及其影响因素

微囊藻毒素是由蓝藻产生的环状多肽物质,可引发人类肝中毒等健康问题,因此微囊藻毒素的清除对食品安全和环境保护有着深远的意义.本研究从泡菜、腊肠等传统发酵食品中分离筛选获得33株乳酸菌,通过对其微囊藻毒素清除能力的测定,获得一株具有高效微囊藻毒素清除能力的乳酸菌菌株干酪乳杆菌BBE10-212.实验发现菌体浓度、藻毒素浓度、菌体活性等因素对实验菌株清除藻毒素的效能具有显著影响,此外,外源添加5%的葡萄糖可使藻毒素清除率提高至52%,远高于未添加时的19%.而外源添加替代藻毒素的微生物发酵氮源以及作为部分代谢关键酶辅酶的金属离子则会抑制菌体对藻毒素的清除效率.研究结果为深入分析实验菌株清除微囊藻毒素的作用机制,实现微囊藻毒素的生物干预策略,并基于对菌株的代谢调控促进微囊藻毒素的高效降解提供了数据和资料.     

中国与欧洲禾谷镰刀菌DON毒素HPLC定量比较分析

选用4个来自中国、7个来自欧洲的代表性禾谷镰刀菌菌株,经脱氧雪腐镰刀菌烯醇(DON)毒素特异引物鉴定,确认其具有产生DON毒素的遗传物质基础后,接种于PDB培养基培养7d,从培养基上清中经硅胶柱分离、纯化DON毒素,经HPLC定量分析表明,纯化的禾谷镰刀菌DON毒素,与购自公司的DON毒素标准样品一样,其HPLC检测谱峰清晰明显,基线平稳,无干扰,保留时间为9.5min左右;供试菌株的DON毒素含量分布在0.023~1.934μg/mL之间,德国菌株F703产毒量最大,比位居第二的中国菌株5005(1.232μg/mL)高57%;其余的6个欧洲菌株中,除意大利菌株Lor9(0.128μg/mL)略低于另一个中国菌株7105(0.135μg/mL)外,均比3个中国菌株(4020、7105、8029)的产毒量大.欧洲镰刀菌产生DON毒素的能力远远大于中国菌株,这说明欧洲菌株长期在欧洲生态环境下已演变形成其特有的高毒素代谢类型,我国有必要严防欧洲禾谷镰刀菌入侵,加强对来自欧洲的禾谷类粮食及其产品的镰刀菌和毒素的检疫和监控;同时,本研究建立的毒素样品制备与HPLC检测体系可用于准确定量分析样品的DON毒素.图3表2参14     

Porphyrobacter sp.D22F的降解特性及其在石油降解菌群中的生态位

为揭示多环芳烃(Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons,PAHs)降解微生物资源的多样性和石油降解菌群的优势菌,研究了从南海沉积物中分离得到的一株PAHs降解菌D22F的降解特性及其在石油降解菌群D22-1中的生态位.对菌株D22F进行16S rRNA基因同源性分析及透射电镜观察以初步确定其种属,通过培养法、气相色谱质谱联用(GC-MS)测定其多环芳烃降解范围和降解率,通过简并引物PCR扩增其PAHs双加氧酶大亚基基因片段并进行系统发育分析,采用变性梯度凝胶电泳(DGGE)监测石油降解菌群中的优势菌.结果表明,与菌株D22F的16S rRNA基因相似度最高的模式株为产卟啉杆菌属Porphyrobacter tepidarius DSM 10594T(AF465839;98.55%).该菌株能降解萘、甲基萘、苊、硫芴、菲、蒽等;对初始浓度为0.2 g/L菲10 d后的降解率可达90%以上.从其基因组DNA中克隆到的PAHs起始双加氧酶大亚基基因phnAc与Novosphingobium aromaticivorans DSM 12444中的质粒pNL1(CP000676)上的bphA1f基因相似度最高,达到99.41%.DGGE谱图显示,菌株D22F是石油降解菌群中的3种优势菌之一,在传代菌群中可稳定存在.Porphyrobacter sp.D22F为产卟啉杆菌属(Porphyrobacter)中首株以低分子量PAHs为唯一碳源和能源的菌株,是石油降解菌群的优势菌.     

大气颗粒物中硝基多环芳烃的气相色谱-化学电离负离子-质谱联用法分析

比较了硝基多环芳烃(nitm-PAHs)的Gc-EI/Ms,GC-NCI/MS和HPLC-FLD分析方法,结果表明,GC-NCL/MS法选择性和灵敏度较高,样品前处理简单,满足大气颗粒物中痕量Nitm-PAHs的分析要求.用GC-NCI/MS法分析了厦门市钟鼓山隧道、厦门大学海洋楼和环岛干线大气颗粒物PM10中6种nitro-PAHs,包括9-硝基蒽(9-NAN)、2-硝基荧蒽+3-硝基荧蒽(2+3-NF)、1-硝基芘(1-NP)、7-硝基苯并[a]蒽(7-NBaA)和6-硝基苯并[a]芘(6-NBaP).结果显示,隧道样品中nitro-PAHs的浓度最高,6种nitro-PAHs的日均总浓度在1210.0-1931.0 pg·m-3之间,其次为海洋楼顶和环岛干线,分别处于100.6-900.4 pg·m-3和96.5-332.1 pg·m-3范围内.隧道样品中1-硝基芘(1-NP)含量占绝对优势((60.9±7.0)%),显示汽车尾气直接排放的特征;而海洋楼顶和环岛干线站点的样品以2+3-硝基荧蒽(2+3-NF)为主,分别占到nitro-PAHs总浓度的(54.9±6.7)%和(66.4±5.0)%,说明受气相反应生成的影响明显.海洋楼顶PM10中nitro-PAHs的浓度显示明显的昼夜变化规律,夜间mtro-PAHs浓度及2+3-NF/1-NP比值均明显高于白天,说明大气颗粒物中的nitrn-PAHs受光降解的影响明显,夜间nitro-PAHs主要由PAHs与NO3·自由基的反应生成.     

DNA adducts in fish following an oil spill exposure

On 12 December 1999, one third of the load of the Erika tanker, amounting to about 10,000 t crude oil flowed into sea waters close to the French Atlantic Coast. This oil contained polycyclic aromatic compounds (PAC) that are known to be genotoxic. Genotoxic effects induce DNA adducts formation, which can thus be used as pollution biomarkers. Here, we assessed the genotoxic impact of the “Erika” oil spill by DNA adducts detection in the liver of immature fishes (Solea solea) from four locations of the French Brittany coasts. Two months after the spill, a high amount of DNA adducts was found in samples from all locations, amounting to 92–290 DNA adduct per 10⁹ nucleotides. Then total DNA adduct levels decreased to reach about 50 adducts per 10⁹ nucleotides nine months after the spill. In vitro experiments using human cell cultures and fish liver microsomes evidence the genotoxicity of the Erika fuel. They also prove the formation of reactive species able to create DNA adducts. Furthermore, in vitro and in vivo DNA adducts fingerprints are similar, thus confirming that DNA adducts are a result of the oil spill.     

Metabolic fate of aromatic amines in the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis

The postmitochondrial fraction of the digestive gland from the marine mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis possesses FAD-containing monooxygenase (EC 1.14.38) but lacks cytochrome P-450 dependent benzo(a)pyrene monooxygenase (EC 11.4.14.1). This is also evidenced by the ability of the mussel preparation to activate carcinogenic aromatic amines, but not carcinogenic benzo(a)pyrene, to Salmonella typhimurium TA 98 mutagens. This metabolic activity is NADPH dependent. Mussel digestive gland postmitochondrial fraction also possesses the enzymes needed for the detoxicating part of the aromatic amine metabolism: UDP-glucuronyl transferase (EC 2.4.1.17) and -glucuronidase (EC 3.2.1.31). Under the experimental conditions used here, this aromatic amine metabolic pathway converts up to 8% of 2-acetylamino(9-¹⁴C)fluorene, but not (G-³H)benzo(a)pyrene, to water soluble glucuronides. Glucuronic acid stimulates the formation of these glucuronides. The metabolites liberated from these glucuronides by the -glucuronidase treatment could be converted to TA 98 strain mutagens by the carp liver postmitochondrial fraction, but not by the mussel's digestive gland preparation. The presence of such a selective potential for the bioactivation and detoxication of aromatic amines, and not polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, in the marine invertebrate(s) may bring new insight to our understanding of the effects and the fate of carcinogens in the marine environment.     

TNT in Komposten und Flüssigkultur

The formation of aromatic amines was investigated using a summarized test (NEDA-test) during the composting of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) contaminated soil. In this test, the aromatic amines were diazolated and then coupled to N-1-Naphthyl-ethylenediamine-dihydrochloride (NEDA) to yield an azo dye which can be monitored photometrically. The test was calibrated for known TNT-metabolites with an active amine-group. Liquid samples from composting- and liquid-culture-experiments were analyzed by HPLC for these known metabolites. Moreover, the samples were monitored by the NEDA-test and the expected extinction of the TNT-metabolites found with amine function were extrapolated with the help of calibration curves. It was shown that substantial differences are obvious between the monitored and extrapolated values. After separation into polar and non-polar aromatic amines, it became clear that these differences are made by the polar aromatic amines. Polar aromatic amines, which are not detectable by presently available analytical tests, were generated during the composting of TNT-contaminated soils. Contaminated stagnant water, which was generated during anaerobization of a compost prephase, was treated aerobically for 70 days in a biofermenter. During this treatment TNT and its known metabolites were eliminated almost entirely. Simultaneously, the toxicity in the Lumis Tox-test decreased drastically. In striking contrast, the sum of aromatic amines decreased only to a minor extent. Moreover, the percentage of polar compounds from total amount of aromatic amines increased drastically from 48% to more than 95%. At present, the chemical identification of these polar compounds is still missing and is the object for further research.     

Synthesis and biological activities of new azacrown ether Schiff bases and spectrophotometric studies of their complexation with [60]fullerene

A series of novel azacrown ether Schiff bases 1–3 have been synthesized in good yield and in a simple way. Their host–guest interaction with [60]fullerene has been studied in toluene by absorption spectroscopic method. All the complexes are found to be stable with 1:1 stoichiometry. Because of their potential applications in industry, agriculture and medicine, they were investigated for their mutagenic and antimutagenic activities using the spot test and the plate incorporation assay of Ames. Compounds 1, 2 and 3 were found to be nonmutagenic in the Ames test using strains TA 1535, TA100 and TA97a of Salmonella typhimurium. However, using strain TA102 revealed that, although both compounds 1 and 2 were nonmutagenic, compound 2 gave a positive response indicating that it acts as an oxidative mutagen. The structure-activity relationship may throw some light on the biological activity of such series of compounds.     

Analyses of PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) and mutagenicity in raw and chlorinated water

Both raw water and chlorinated drinking water samples were collected from and the Liu‐Du water treatment plant in northern Taiwan from October 1990 to April 1992. The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and mutagenicity in these water samples were analyzed by GC/MS and Ames test. The Mutagenicity/DMSO (Dimethyl Sulfoxide) ratio in S. typhimurium TA98 and TA100 with or without S9 mixture increased, even higher than 2, following the sequence of unit process. It was observed that the mutagenicity with TA98 (S9+) was highly related to most of PAHs in the raw water; while the mutagenicity with TA98 (S9+) was only correlated with DbA and BghiPr in the treated water. It could be expected that the mutagenicity level was controlled by other predominant components after the raw water was treated, for example, the chlorination process.     

Antigenotoxic effect of allicin against methyl methanesulphonate induced genotoxic damage

Allicin, one of the sulfur compounds especially thiosulphonates of garlic (Allium sativum), possesses antioxidant and thioldisulphide exchange activity and is also shown to cause a variety of actions potentially useful for human health. In this investigation we determined its antigenotoxic potential using chromosomal aberrations (CAs) and sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) induced by methyl methanesulphonate (MMS) as genotoxic end points both in the presence as well as absence of rat liver microsomal activation system (S9 mix) in cultured human lymphocytes. We tested the effect of 5, 10 and 20 microM of allicin on the damage exerted by 60 microM of MMS. The levels of CAs and SCEs were lowered suggesting an antigenotoxic role of allicin against genotoxic damage both in the presence as well as absence of metabolic activation.     

Antibacterial and antimutagenic activitiy of extracts and essential oil from (Tunisian) Pistacia lentiscus

Aqueous and flavonoid-enriched extract as well as essential oil (EO) obtained from leaves of Pistacia lentiscus were assessed for antibacterial and antimutagenic activities. Antibacterial activity of different extracts and EO were evaluated against six bacterial strains. A marked inhibitory effect was observed against Salmonella typhimurium, whereas lower activity was observed against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Salmonella enteritidis. EO showed significant inhibitory effects against Salmonella typhimurium, Salmonella enteritidis and Staphylococcus aureus. The antimutagenic activity of the different extracts against Aflatoxin B₁ (AFB₁) and sodium azide was demonstrated with the Salmonella typhymurium assay. The number of revertants per plate decreased significantly when the plant extracts were added to the assay system using Salmonella typhimurium TA100, TA98 and TA1535.     

代谢活化作用对多溴代联苯类污染物类/抗甲状腺激素活性的影响

选用大鼠肝匀浆(S9)和鼠肝癌细胞(H4ⅡE)两种体系代谢活化多溴代联苯醚混标(BDEs)和十溴联苯醚(BDE209),采用重组甲状腺激素受体基因酵母检测BDEs和BDE209母体及其代谢产物的类/抗甲状腺激素效应.结果表明,BDEs和BDE209母体均不表现甲状腺激素效应(p>0.05);但是经S9和H4ⅡE细胞代谢活化后,其代谢产物表现出明显的类甲状腺激素活性和抗甲状腺激素活性(p<0.05),BDEs和BDE209的干扰甲状腺激素效应需要经过代谢活化步骤.比较不同代谢活化体系,重组酵母细胞本身的代谢活化作用并不显著,而H4ⅡE细胞和S9代谢活化体系均能够导致活性中间体.     

饮用水遗传毒性测试中TA98和TA100的敏感度和可靠度比较

为了寻找适合我国水质特征的Ames试验简化方法,作者通过广泛的文献调研,对近30年以来,我国研究者用Ames试验评价饮用水和水源水的遗传毒性的实验数据进行了总结和分析。结果发现,TA98-S9测试体系的敏感度和可靠度最高,TA98+S9次之,TA100-S9与TA100+S9 2个测试体系对Ames试验结果的影响几乎可以忽略。只用1个TA98-S9测试体系的方法 1,仅用25%的工作量,可获得91%的致突变阳性检出率和74%的有效数据率;采用TA98-S9和TA98+S9 2个测试体系的方法 2,使用50%的工作量,可获得96%的阳性检出率和96%的有效数据率。据此,作者建议:采用Ames试验评价我国饮用水和水源水的遗传毒性时,可以将通常采用的4个测试体系的方法 4,简化为只采用TA98-S9与TA98+S9 2个测试体系的方法 2。在仅进行致突变性定性评价时,或者在费用或水样量不足等条件下,则可使用更为简化的方法 1,更利于Ames试验的广泛应用。
