A collaborative study was conducted to evaluate whether a replicative DNA synthesis (RDS) test using the rat liver can detect nongenotoxic (Ames-negative) hepatocarcinogens with three or seven daily administrations at dose-levels effective in long-term bioassays. The assay methods were well-validated by the 14 participants. Of six compounds tested, carbon tetrachloride (50 and 100 mg/kg), clofibrate (125 and 250 mg/kg), diethylstilbestrol (0.125 and 0.25 mg/kg) and urethane (100 mg/kg) gave positive results, methyl carbamate (200 and 400 mg/kg) exerted equivocal effects, and D,L-ethionine (125 mg/kg) failed to elevate RDS. These findings suggest that the RDS test can detect many nongenotoxic rat hepatocarcinogens with short-term administration at dose-levels used in long-term bioassays.
开展了一项合作研究,以评估使用大鼠肝脏进行的复制性DNA合成(RDS)试验,能否在长期生物测定有效的剂量水平下,通过每日给药三次或七次来检测非遗传毒性(艾姆斯试验阴性)的肝癌致癌物。该检测方法得到了14名参与者的充分验证。在测试的六种化合物中,四氯化碳(50和100mg/kg)、氯贝丁酯(125和250mg/kg)、己烯雌酚(0.125和0.25mg/kg)和氨基甲酸乙酯(100mg/kg)给出了阳性结果,氨基甲酸甲酯(200和400mg/kg)产生了不确定的影响,而DL-乙硫氨酸(125mg/kg)未能提高RDS。这些发现表明,RDS试验可以在长期生物测定所使用的剂量水平下,通过短期给药检测出许多非遗传毒性的大鼠肝癌致癌物。
