摘要
Strain IC203, deficient in OxyR, and its oxyR(+) parent WP2 uvrA/pKM101 (denoted IC188) are the basis of a new bacterial reversion assay, the WP2 Mutoxitest, which has been used in the evaluation of 80 chemicals for oxidative mutagenicity. The following 31 oxidative mutagens were recognized by their greater mutagenic response in IC203 than in IC188: (1) peroxides: hydrogen peroxide (HP), t-butyl hydroperoxide (BOOH) and cumene hydroperoxide (COOH); (2) benzoquinones (BQ): 2-methyl-1,4-BQ, 2,6-dimethyl-1,4-BQ and 2,3,5,6-tetramethyl-1,4-BQ; (3) naphthoquinones (NQ): 1,4-NQ, 2-methyl-1,4-NQ and 2-hydroxy-1,4-NQ; (4) phenol derivatives: catechol, hydroquinone, pyrogallol, 1,2,4-benzenetriol, t-butylhydroquinone, gallic acid and 4-aminophenol; (5) catecholamines: DL- and L-dopa, DL- and L-epinephrine, dopamine and L-norepinephrine; (6) thiols: L-cysteine methyl ester, L-cysteine ethyl ester, L-penicillamine and dithiothreitol; (7) diverse: 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, hypoxanthine and xanthine, both in the presence of xanthine oxidase, L-ascorbic acid plus copper (II) and phenazine methosulfate. Among these oxidative mutagens, 25 were found to be uniquely positive in IC203. With the exception of BOOH and COOH, mutagenesis by all oxidative mutagens was inhibited by catalase present in rat liver S9, indicating that it is mediated by HP generation, probably in autoxidation reactions. These catalase-sensitive oxidative mutagens were poor inducers of mutations derived from 8-oxoguanine lesions, whereas such mutations were efficiently induced by organic hydroperoxides. The results support the usefulness of incorporating IC203 in the bacterial battery for testing of chemicals. The well-characterized oxidative mutagens available with the use of the WP2 Mutoxitest may serve as a reference in studies on the genotoxicity of oxidative stress. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
