The genotoxic activity of the pesticides gliphosate, vinclozolin and DPX-E9636 was studied in in vitro cultures of bovine lymphocytes, using chromosome aberration (CA) and sister chromatid exchange (SCE) frequencies as genetic end-points and a variation of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) enzyme activity as a marker of changes in the normal cell redox state. Results indicated a statistically significant increase of structural aberrations, sister chromatid exchanges and G6PD activity, suggesting that the pesticides tested induce either oxidative stress or a mutagenic effect in this species. The evaluation of both mitotic index and cell viability, after pesticide exposure, demonstrates a high cytotoxic effect which is always associated with the observed genotoxic effect.
以染色体畸变(CA)和姐妹染色单体交换(SCE)频率作为遗传终点,并以葡萄糖6 - 磷酸脱氢酶(G6PD)酶活性的变化作为正常细胞氧化还原状态变化的标志物,在牛淋巴细胞的体外培养中研究了农药草甘膦、乙烯菌核利和DPX - E9636的遗传毒性活性。结果表明,结构畸变、姐妹染色单体交换和G6PD活性在统计学上有显著增加,表明所测试的农药在该物种中诱导了氧化应激或诱变效应。农药暴露后对有丝分裂指数和细胞活力的评估表明,其具有高细胞毒性作用,且该作用总是与观察到的遗传毒性作用相关。
