liver post-mitochondrial fraction from rats, induced with Aroclor 1254 (S-9)

Positive control substance:
other: 4-Nitroquinoline-1-oxide and cyclophosphamide
Details on test system and experimental conditions:
Culture medium: McCoy´s 5A medium

In Experiment 1, treatment in the absence and presence of S-9 was for 3 hours followed by a 17 hour recovery period prior to harvest (3+l7). The S-9 used was prepared from a rat liver post-mitochondrial fraction (S-9) from Aroclor 1254-induced animals. The test article dose levels for chromosome analysis were selected by evaluating the effect of Zeostop X on cell numbers. Chromosome aberrations were analysed at three consecutive dose levels. The highest concentrations chosen for evaluation, 67.11 and 400 µg/mL, induced approximately 48% and 63% reduction in cell number in the absence and presence of S-9 respectively.

In Experiment 2, treatment in the absence of S-9 was continuous for 20 hours. Treatment in the presence of S-9 (using S-9 prepared from animals induced with phenobarbitone and beta-naphthoflavone) was for 3 hours only followed by a 17 hour recovery period prior to harvest (3+17). Chromosome aberrations were analysed at three consecutive dose levels. The highest concentrations chosen for analysis were, 72.54 and 313.2 µg/mL, which induced approximately 54% and 49% reduction in cell number in the absence and presence of S-9, respectively.

Appropriate negative control cultures were included in the test system in both experiments under each treatment condition. 4-Nitroquinoline-1-oxide and cyclophosphamide were employed as positive control chemicals in the absence and presence of S-9, respectively.
Evaluation criteria:
Cells were harvested, fixed and transferred to microscope slides. After the slides had dried the cells were stained with Giemsa. Chromosome analysis was performed microscopically.

Any other information on results incl. tables

The proportion of cells with structural aberrations in the negative control cultures fell within historical solvent control ranges. Cells receiving 4-Nitroquinoline-1-oxide and cyclophosphamide both induced statistically significant increases in the proportion of cells with structural aberrations.

Treatment of cells with Zeostop X in the absence and presence of S-9 resulted in increased frequencies of cells with aberrations. Frequencies which exceeded historical negative control ranges in both replicates and where the total number of aberrant cells was significantly higher than the concurrent negative control were observed at either the high or intermediate concentration analysed from all treatment regimes. The total number of aberrations seen was clearly elevated in most treated cultures and exchanges, which are observed only infrequently in negative controls, were induced.

Increased frequencies of cells with numerical aberrations which exceeded historical negative control ranges were observed under all treatment conditions. The effect was attributable to endoreduplication. It should be noted that the biological significance of endoreduplication and its likely occurrence in vivo is not clear.
