Type:<br />
Cytogenetic assay<br />
System of testing: V79 cells<br />
Concentration: hypertonic solutions with final osmolalities of 500,<br />
750, 1000 or 1500 mOsm/kg H2O (corresponding to about<br />
166.6; 250; 333.3; 500 mM = 22; 33; 44; 66 mg/mL)<br />
(converted according to information given by Nowak C<br />
(1987), Ter Carc Mut 7, 515)<br />
Cytotoxic Concentration: not cytotoxic up to and including the highest tested<br />
osmolality (1500 mOsm)<br />
Metabolic activation: without<br />
Method:<br />
other<br />
GLP:<br />
no data<br />
Test substance: other TS: ammonium sulfate, purity 99.5%<br />
Remark:<br />
Result:<br />
The study was designed to investigate the effect of<br />
hypertonic solutions on ethylmethane sulfonate induced HPRT<br />
mutations and chromosomal aberrations.<br />
Treatment of ethyl methanesulfonate-induced cells with<br />
hypertonic solutions containing sodium chloride or ammonium<br />
sulfate had a clear effect on chromosomal aberration but TGr<br />
(6-thioguanine resistance) mutations were only enhanced by<br />
ammonium sulfate posttreatment, and not by sodium chloride<br />
posttreatment.<br />
% ABERRANT METAPHASES (<strong>20</strong>0 metaphases analyzed, 2<br />
independent experiments, fixation time 13 hours):<br />
1.0 %, 1.0%, 2.0%, 4.5% and 8.0% for controls, 500, 750,<br />
1000 and 1500 mOsm ammonium sulfate, respectively.<br />
8.0%, 42.0%, 42.5%, 51% and 43% for EMS, EMS+500, EMS+750,<br />
EMS+1000 and EMS+1500 mOsm ammonium sulfate, respectively.<br />
% ABERRANT METAPHASES (<strong>20</strong>0 metaphases analyzed, 2<br />
independent experiments, fixation time 16 hours):<br />
1.0 %, 3.5%, 3.5%, 3.0% and 7.5% for controls, 500, 750,<br />
1000 and 1500 mOsm ammonium sulfate, respectively.<br />
8.0%, 8.5%, 19.5%, 30.5% and 26.5% for EMS, EMS+500,<br />
EMS+750, EMS+1000 and EMS+1500 mOsm ammonium sulfate,<br />
respectively.<br />
TG MUTATIONS (per 10e6 survivors, 2 independent experiments:<br />
28.0 %, 48.7%, 55.95%, 49.9% and 65.5% for controls, 500,<br />
750, 1000 and 1500 mOsm ammonium sulfate, respectively.<br />
314.6%, 584.0%, 512.4%, 478.0% and 782.4% for EMS, EMS+500,<br />
EMS+750, EMS+1000 and EMS+1500 mOsm ammonium sulfate,<br />
respectively.<br />
Test condition:<br />
192<br />
It was suggested by the author that hypertonic salt<br />
posttreatment leads to conformational changes in the DNA,<br />
resulting in an increase in TGr mutations and chromosomal<br />
aberrations.<br />
YEAR OF STUDY: not reported.<br />
TEST SYSTEM: V79 hamster cells were grown at 37 deg C in a<br />
humidified atmosphere with 5% CO2 in Earle`s minimal<br />
essential medium (MEM), supplemented with 10% fetal calf<br />
serum, 100 units penicillin, and 0.128 mg/mL<br />
