Abstract
Carbamates have excellent insecticidal activities against a broad spectrum of insects. They possess knocking-down, fast-killing, and systemic effects, however, they are toxic to mammals. In this study, we have carried out in vitro genetic toxicity test of methylcarbamate and microarray analysis of differentially expressed genes in response to methylcarbamate. Methylcarbamate did not show mutations in base substitution strain TA1535 both with and without exogenous metabolic activation. Methylcarbamate did not show mutations in frame shift TA98 both with and without exogenous metabolic activation. Methylcarbamate showed DNA damage based on single cell gel/comet assay in L5178Y cells both with and without exogenous metabolic activation. Methylcarbamate did not increase micronuclei in CHO cells both with and without exogenous metabolic activation. Microarray analysis of gene expression profiles in L5178Y cells in response to methylcarbamate selected differentially expressed 132 genes that could be candidate biomarkers of genetic toxic action of methylcarbamate.
