Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) was tested for the induction of aneuploidy in mouse bone marrow cells. Doses of 138 or 275 mg/kg of body weight were intraperitoneally injected 24 h after implantation of a bromodeoxyuridine tablet. Cell-replication kinetics was assessed by comparing the relative percentages of first, second and third metaphases in control and treated samples. The hyperploidy incidence was estimated in second metaphases only, together with the SCE/cell level. Mice injected with 1.8 mg/kg vinblastine (VBL) were used as positive controls. A slight delay of cell cycle was induced by NTA, as shown by regression analysis applied to average generation time values. No increase over the control level was observed for hyperploidy or SCE induction in NTA-treated mice. VBL induced both cell-cycle alteration and a highly significant (P less than 0.001) increase of the hyperploid cell frequency. On the basis of these and previous (Costa et al., 1988) observations it seems that the non-disjunctional activity of NTA in the mouse is confined to meiotic processes.
