Guideline:

other: NTP protocol

Principles of method if other than guideline:

Mouse Bone marrow micronucleus test employs 1 to 3 treatment of the chemical under study, administered at 24hour intervals. Normally five male animals per treatment (dose) group. Doses extend up to the maximum tolerated dose. The route of administration in these short-term tests is usually either intraperitoneal injection or oral gavage. Based on the cell cycle and maturation times of the erythrocytes, harvesting of the bone marrow usually occurs 24 hours after the last dosing; this interval is indicated in the data tables as "sample collection time."
At that time, about 50% of the erythrocytes in the bone marrow are immature, newly formed erythrocytes, and these are the cell types that are checked for presence of micronuclei. The animals are euthanized by CO2 inhalation and the femurs are removed.

Examinations

Tissues and cell types examined:

polychromatic erytrocytes

Details of tissue and slide preparation:

The bone marrow is flushed from the femurs and spread onto slides. The slides are air-dried, fixed, and stained with a fluorescent DNA-specific stain that easily illuminates any micronuclei that may be present.
Typically, 2000 polychromatic erythrocytes (PCEs, reticulocytes; immature erythrocytes) are scored per animal for frequency of micronucleated cells in each of 5 animals per dose group. In addition, the percentage of PCEs among the total erythrocyte population in the bone marrow is scored for each dose group as an indicator of chemical-induced toxicity.

In non-treated healthy mice and rats, the %PCE in bone marrow is usually around 50-60%. If a chemical interferes with the production of erythrocytes in the bone marrow, then the %PCE in the bone marrow may decline from the typical normal level. Conversely, if erythrocyte production is stimulated by chemical exposure, then a higher percentage of immature erythrocytes may be observed.

Statistics:

A formal statistical analysis of the data is performed that includes a trend test, to determine if there is an overall increase across all doses in the frequency of cells containing micronuclei, and a pairwise comparison of each dose group to the corresponding control, to see if any one dose group is statistically
different from the control group in frequency of micronucleated cells.
Data are typically presented as the mean number of micronucleated cells per 1,000 cells for each treatment group. A positive trend test is one in which the P value is equal to or less than 0.025. For the slide-based micronucleus data, the micronucleus frequency in any dose group is considered significantly elevated over the control group if the P value is equal to or less than 0.025 divided by the number of chemical-treatment groups.

Thus, if the number of treated groups is 3, then the required pairwise P value is 0.008. This adjustment in the pairwise P value is a correction for multiple comparisons of the same data. In the short-term studies, tests that give positive results are repeated to confirm the response.
