The detection of many synthetic chemicals used in industry that may pose a genetic hazard in our environment is subject of great concern at present. In this respect, the genetic toxicity of fenpropathrin ((RS)-.alpha.-cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl-2,2,3,3-tetramethyl cyclopropane carboxylate, CAS No.:39514-41-8), a pyrethroid insecticide, was evaluated in bacterial gene mutation system, chromosome aberration in mammalian cell system and in vivo micronucleus assay with rodents. In bacterial gene mutation assay, no mutagenicity of fenpropathrin (62-$5000\mug/plate$) was observed in Salmonella typhimurium TA 98, 100, 1535 and 1537 both in the absence and in the presence of S-9 metabolic activaton system. In mammalian cell system using chinese hamster lung fibroblast, no clastogenicity of fenpropathrin was also observed both in the absence and in the presence of metabolic activation system in the concentration range of $7-28\mug/ml$. And also, in vivo micronucleus assay using mouse bone marrow cells, fenpropathrin also revealed no mutagenic potential in the dose range of 27-105 mg/kg body weight of fenpropathrin (i.p.). Consequently, no mutagenic potential of fenpropathrin was observed in vitro bacterial, mammalian mutagenicity systems and in vivo micronucleus assay in the dose ranges used in this experiment.

제일제당주식회사에서는 미생물발효법을 이용하여 palatinose를 대량생산하게 되었다. Palatinose 산물의 안전성을 확인하기 위하여 1) Salmonella typhimurium을 이용한 미생물복귀돌연변이시험, 2) Chinese Hamster Lung (CHL) 세포를 이용한 in vitro 염색체이상시험을 실시하였다. Palatinose 및 palatinose syrup은 미생물복귀돌연변이 시험에서 10 mg/plate의 용량까지 복귀돌연변이를 유발하지 않았으며, CHL 세포에서도 5 mg/mL 농도에서 염색체이상을 유발하지 않았다. 이 결과는 palatinose 산물들이 위의 in vitro 변이원성시험계에서 돌연변이원성을 나타내지 않음을 보여준다.

제초제인 methiozolin에 대한 유전독성 영향을 평가하기 위하여 in vitro 시험으로 복귀돌연변이시험과 염색체 이상시험을 수행하였고, 그리고 in vivo 시험으로 소핵시험을 수행하였다. Salmonella typhimurium, 균주 TA98, TA100, TA1535 및 TA1537 및 Escherichia coli WP2uvrA를 이용한 복귀 돌연변이 시험에서 직접법과 대사활성화법(S9 mixture) 모두 $5,000{\mu}g$/plate에서 돌연변이 수는 음성 대조군과 유의차가 없었다. Chinese hamster lung(CHL) 세포를 이용한 구조적, 숫적 염색체 이상시험결과 직접법과 대사활성화법의 경우 methiozolin을 투여한 모든 군(80, 40, $20{\mu}g$/mL)의 세포에서 염색체 이상이 관찰되지 않았다. ICR 마우스를 이용한 소핵시험에서는 methiozolin의 복강투여가 골수세포에서 다염성 적혈구(polychromatic erythrocytes) 및 소핵(micronucleous)을 가진 다염성 적혈구의 출현율을 조사하였는데, 모든 농도(1,500, 1,000, 500 mg/kg)에서 음성대조군과 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않아 소핵을 유발하는 독성이 없는 것으로 판단된다. 이상의 결과로부터 제초제인 methiozolin은 세균, 세포 및 동물체내에서 유전독성을 유발하지 않는 물질로 사료된다.

The results of chromosome aberration test in mammalian cells in culture (Chinese hamster lung fibroblast cells) showed no induction of structural and numerical aberrations by YH1226, a cephalosporin antibiotic regardless of metabolic activation, while positive control group (mitomycin C and benzo(a)pyrene) showed structural chromosome aberrations of 25% and 10%, respectively. The in vivo induction of micronuclei was measured in polychromatic erythrocytes in bone marrow of male ddY mouse given YH1226 at 500, 250, 125 mg/kg by i.p. once. After 24 hours, animals were sacrificed and evaluated for the incidence of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes in whole erythrocytes. Although a positive response for induction of micronuclei in animals treated with mitomycin C demonstrated the sensitivity of the test system for detection of a chemical clastogen, YH1226 did not induce microunclei in bone marrow of ddY male mice.

In order to evaluate the mutagenic potential of CJ-50001 (recombinant human granulocytecolony stimulating factor), 3 sets of mutagenicity tests were performed. In the reverse mutation test using Salmonella typhimurium TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and TA100, CJ-50001 did not increase the number of revertant at any of the concentration tested in this study (500, 250, 125, 62.5 and 31.3 $\mu\textrm{g}$ plate). CJ-50001, at the doses of 200, 100 and 50 $\mu\textrm{g}$ /ml, did not increase the number of cells having structural or numerical chromosome aberration in cytogenetic test using Chinese Hamster Lung cells. In mouse micronucleus test, no significant increase in the occurrence of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes was observed in ICR male mice intraperitoneally administered with CJ-50001 at the doses of 5, 2.5 and 1.25 mg/kg. These results indicate that CJ-50001 has no mutagenic potential in these in vitro and in vivo systems.

This study was aimed to find out the comparative effects between non-irradiated, and 5kGy-10kGy of gamma-irradiated Panax Ginseng Radix powder on the genotoxicity for identification of possibility of DNA damage causing cancer. Four different short-term mutagenicity tests were used: (1) Salmonella typhimurium reversion assay (Ames test) (2) Chromosome aberration test in cultured Chinese hamster lung (CHL) fibroblast cells. (3) Micronucleus test in ddY mouse (4) Somatic mutation and recombination test in the wing cells of Drosophila melanogaster.Gamma-irradiated Panax Ginseng Radix powder revealed negative results in these four mutagenicity tests. This means gamma-irradiated ginseng could be safe on the genotoxic point of view.

Green tea and tea polyphenols have been studied extensively as cancer chemopreventive agents in recent years. Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is widely recognized as a powerful antioxidant and a free radical scavenger. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the protective effects of green tea catechins (GTC) on the Bleomycin- and Cyclophosphamide-induced cytotoxicity. Cell viability was measured by MTT assay. In the protective effect of GTC, the cell viability was significantly increased by the treatment of GTC. Furthermore, GTC showed the higher protective effect than EGCG and vitamin E. These results suggest that GTC has the protective effect which is related to the prevention of cancer. Our studies show that the continuous presence of EGCG can reduce radical-induced DNA damage in Chinese hamster lung fibroblast cells (CHL cells).

The results of chromosome aberration test in mammalian cells in culture (Chinese hamster lung fibroblast cells) showed no induction of structural and numerical aberrations by antifungal agents of YH1715 series regardless of metabolic activation. While positive control group (mitomycin C and benzo(a)pyrene) showed structural chromosome aberrations of 37% and 23%, respectively. The in vivo induction of micronuclei was measured in polychromatic erythrocytes in bone marrow of male ddY mouse given YH1715R and YH1729R at 1, 0.5, 0.25 g/kg by p.o. once. After 24 hours, animals were sacrificed and evaluated 40 the incidence of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes in whole erythrocytes. Although a positive response for induction of micronuclei in animals treated with mitomycin C demonstrated the sensitivity of the test system for detection of a chemical clastogen, YH1715R did not induce micronuclei in bone marrow of ddY male mice but induced cytotoxicity to bone marrow cells at the highest concentration (1 g/kg, p〈0.05), and YH1729R induced micronuclei in bone marrow of ddY male mice dose dependently (p<0.05) but did not induce cytotoxicity to bone marrow cells.

본 연구에서는 천연 허브류의 항산화성 및 세포주를 이용한 세포 독성, 산화적 스트레스에 대한 보호 효과, 항산화 효소 활성 등을 살펴보았다. Chinese Hamster lung fibroblasts인 V79-4에서는 green tea 추출물, 고농도의 lemon 추출물에서 세포독성을 보였다. H$_2$O$_2$로 유발한 산화적 스트레스에 대해 허브 추출물의 V79-4 세포 보호효과는 모든 추출물이 농도 의존적으로 효과를 갖지는 않으나chamomile, fennel, dandelion을 제외한 대부분의 고농도추출물에서 대조군에 비해 세포 보호 효과를 가지고 있다고 보인다. 항산화 활성 및 세포 독성 실험을 토대로 활성이 높은 5가지 허브 추출물의 V79-4 세포를 이용한 항산화 효소 활성에서 lemon vervena, chamomile을 처리하면 superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase 활성이 대조군보다 증가하는 결과를 보였다. 이러한 다양한 허브 추출물의 항산화 활성 검색을 토대로 허브류의 식품 소재로서의 가능성을 평가할 수 있을 것이다.

To assess the genotoxicity of AS6, several classical toxicological tests were performed. In Ames test, AS6 did not show any transformation of revertant with or without S-9 metabolic activating system, indicating the lack of mutagenic effect of the compound. To assess clastogenic effect, in vivo micronucleus and in vitro chromosomal aberration assays were performed using male ICR mice and Chinese hamster lung (CHL) fibroblast cells, respectively. Chromosomal aberration was not induced regardless of the presence of S-9 metabolic activating system. In addition, AS6 did not cause any increase in the incidence of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes at any of the dose levels, suggesting little clastogenicity in vitro or in vivo. Taken together, these results demonstrate that AS-6 has no mutagenic effect in our test system.
