18种国产香烟致突变性比较检测研究

使用蚕豆根尖细胞微核试验技术研究了18种国产香烟烟雾水溶物的致突变性,结果表明上述每种香烟均有明显的致突变性,其中淮海牌香烟致突变性最强,茶花牌香烟致突变性最弱。提示蚕豆根尖细胞微核技术可以用于香烟致突变性检测。同种香烟有滤嘴组和去除滤嘴组对比检测结果表明,过滤嘴可以减轻香烟的致突变性。     

除草剂异丙莠诱发蚕豆根尖细胞遗传损伤的研究

以蚕豆根尖为材料,研究除草剂异丙莠对蚕豆根尖细胞的遗传毒性效应。采用蚕豆根尖微核技术,以不同浓度的异丙莠为诱变剂,测定蚕豆根尖细胞的有丝分裂指数、微核率和染色体畸变率。结果表明,异丙莠能诱发较高频率的微核率,即在一定浓度范围内,其微核率随异丙莠处理浓度的升高而增加,但随着异丙莠浓度进一步升高而呈下降趋势;异丙莠能降低蚕豆根尖细胞有丝分裂指数并诱导染色体产生多种类型的畸变。一定剂量的除草剂异丙莠对蚕豆根尖细胞具有明显的遗传毒性。     

杀虫剂三唑磷对沼水蛙（Hylarana guentheri）蝌蚪的遗传毒性研究

采用微核试验和单细胞凝胶电泳技术(彗星试验)检测了不同浓度(0、0.2、0.4、1.2、2.0、2.8mg·L-1)的三唑磷溶液对沼水蛙蝌蚪遗传毒性的影响.结果表明,当三唑磷染毒24h(≥1.2mg·L-1)及72h(≥0.2mg·L-1)后,蝌蚪微核率和核异常率比对照组均有极显著的提高.在同一时间下,随着三唑磷浓度的增大,蝌蚪微核率和核异常率总体上随之增加;在同一浓度下,随着染毒时间的增加,低浓度组(≤0.4mg·L-1)微核率出现逐渐升高趋势;高浓度组(≥1.2mg·L-1)微核率则先增加后降低.染毒24h后,彗星试验的各项指标Tail Length、Comet Length、Tail Moment和Olive Tail Moment均随三唑磷浓度的增加而增加,并呈现极显著的剂量-效应关系.当三唑磷浓度达到0.2mg·L-1时,与对照组相比,DNA总体损伤水平(Comet Assay Tail Factor)显著提高.实验表明三唑磷对蛙类蝌蚪会造成一定的遗传损伤,微核试验和彗星试验在检测污染物对蝌蚪的遗传毒性方面具有较大的应用价值.     

Detection of environmental clastogens and aneugens in human fibroblasts by cytokinesis-blocked micronucleus assay associated with immunofluorescent staining of CENP-A in micronuclei

The cytokinesis-blocked micronucleus (CBMN) assay, in combination with fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) of human pan-centromeric DNA probes, or with CREST antibodies that specifically stain kinetochore proteins, is widely used on several cell types. It distinguishes micronuclei containing one or several whole chromosomes, which are positively labeled (centromere positive micronucleus, C+MN, due to aneugenic effect), or acentric chromosome fragments, which are unlabeled due to the absence of centromere (centromere negative micronucleus, C−MN, due to clastogenic effect). However, the very slight level of the centromeric signals obtained with the FISH technique on primary human fibroblasts, a cell type commonly used in environmental genetic toxicology, leads to great difficulties in distinguishing C+MN and C−MN. Furthermore, the CREST technique may lead to inappropriate results particularly with regards to variations in antibody composition between patient sera. Our results show that the in vitro CBMN, in combination with immunofluorescence staining of CENP-A (centromere protein A), efficiently screens genotoxicants for their ability to induce clastogenic and/or aneugenic effects. We propose the in vitro CBMN assay in combination with immunofluorescence staining of CENP-A as a suitable tool in environmental genotoxicity testing of primary human fibroblasts.     

Evaluation of the genotoxic and cytochrome P450 monooxygenase‐inhibitory potential of dicuran on procaryotic and eucaryotic test systems

Abstract

The effect of the herbicide Dicuran 500 FL (formulated product) on the phenotypical and genotypical changes in procaryotic and eucaryotic organisms was investigated using short‐term tests for detecting genotoxins. Since pesticides discharged in the water environment can modulate the mixed‐function monooxygenases (MFO) detoxification system of water organisms, the in vivo and in vitro effects of Dicuran on hepatic cytochrome P450 (cyt P450) monooxygenase activities were also examined in juvenile carp (Cyprinus carpio L.). By measuring the activities of MFO in experimental carp exposed to Dicuran an attempt was made to establish whether Dicuran could be bioactivated by MFO into ultimate mutagens. Our results on the bacterial strains Salmonella typhimurium TA100 and TA98 show that Dicuran does not possess either mutagenic or premutagenic characteristics. The micronucleus test on the erythrocytes of experimental carp did not establish any clastogenic effect either. However, Dicuran significantly inhibited the MFO activity of 7‐ethoxyresorufin‐O‐deethylase (EROD) and benzo[a]pyrene monooxygenase (BaPMO) in the liver of experimental carp in vitro, as well as in in vivo conditions. These findings demonstrate the potentially damaging effect of Dicuran on the xenobiotic metabolizing enzyme systems of fish, and suggest the applicability of described methods for the prediction of the ecotoxicological significance of the presence of pesticides in the water environment.

淮河流域安徽段水体成组生物毒性评价

在淮河流域安徽段某区域采集了3个地表水样和12个地下水样,通过大型溞急性毒性(活动抑制)、微核及SOS/umu试验,分析了这些水样的急性毒性及遗传毒性。结果表明,急性毒性测试中,该区域地表水及大部分地下水的急性毒性均未超过US EPA废水排放毒性的控制要求(0.3 TU),有2个位点的地下水样毒性当量为0.31 TU,超过限值;经t-test分析,地表水的急性毒性显著高于地下水。SOS/umu检测中,2个地表水样和7个地下水样的结果呈阳性,表现出DNA损伤效应,其诱导率IR在(2.20±0.063)~(3.36±0.067)之间,对应的致癌风险P基本处在10-6~10-7水平。微核检测结果表明,3个地表水样具有较严重的染色体损伤效应,9个地下水样表现为阴性。总之,该区域地表水急性毒性及遗传毒性相对较高;部分浅层地下水也存在一定程度的急性毒性和遗传毒性,致癌风险处在可接受范围,但仍可能对周围居民的健康产生潜在威胁;而深层地下水没有检测到任何毒性效应。研究为周边居民饮水安全和人体健康提供了基础信息。
