摘要

A retrospective analysis was undertaken to assess the performance of selected short-term tests in the discrimination of mammalian germ cell mutagens and nonmutagens using data derived from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency/International Agencyfor Research on Cancer Genetic Activity Profile (EPA/IARC GAP) and EPA GENE-TOX databases. The short-term tests selected were gene mutation in Salmonella (S. typhimurium), cultured mammalian cell gene mutation and chromosomal aberrations, and mammalian bone marrow cytogene.tics (micronucleus and chromosomal aberrations). These are the first level tests Used in the EPA mutagenicity testing guidelines. The results of this analysis showed good sensitivity of short-term in vitro tests for mammalian cell gene mutation (96%) or chromosomal aberrations (92%) in identifying germ cell mutagens, while the sensitivity of tests for gene mutation in S. typhimurium was lower (79%). Bone marrow micronucleus or chromosomal aberration assays in vivo each displayed a sensitivity of 96%. Thus, both the in vitro and in vivo tests may be used effectively to screen chemicals for potential germ cell mutagenicity, In contrast, the in vitro tests mentioned above performed .poorly in discriminating putative germ cell nonmutagens, giving results for specificity at or below what is expected due to chance alone (50-11 %). The bone marrow assays were more efficient in this regard, the micronucleus test yielding a specificity of 63% and the chromosomal aberrations assay 64%. The mouse bone marrow micronucleus test also performed well on a quantitative basis, responding at or below the lowest effective doses tested in the mouse dominant lethal assay. Regression analysis of the mean lowest effective doses of chemicals evaluated invivo showed approximately 1:1 linear correlations for mouse germ cell assays (heritable translocation vs dominant lethal or specific locus tests) as well as for mouse bone marrow assays (micronucleus vs chromosomal aberration). The results suggest the value of the bone marrow micronucleus test as an assay for potential germ cell mutagenicity and the dominant lethal test as a relatively inexpensive choice for confirmation of germ cell damage. The sensitivity of the in vitro assays investigated and the discriminatory capability of the in vivo bone marrow assay affirmed the utility of these tests'within the framework of the EPA mutagenicity testing guidelines.
