OBJECTIVE
Purpose of the study
The objective of this study was to evaluate the test substance for its ability to induce forward mutations at the thymidine kinase (TK) locus in L5178Y mouse lymphoma cells. The assay was conducted in the absence and presence of a metabolic system (S9-mix). The TK mutational system detected base pair mutations, frame shift mutations and small deletions.
Justification for selection of the test system
L5178Y mouse lymphoma cells are used because they are sensitive indicators
of mutagenic activity of a broad range of chemical classes. The TK
mutational system is able to detect base pair alterations, frame shift
mutations and small deletions.
Cells deficient in thymidine kinase (TK), due to the forward mutation
(TK+/- to TK'/-) are resistant to the cytotoxic effects of the pyrimidine
analogue trifluorothymidine (TFT). TK deficient cells can not incorporate
the analogue into its phosphorylated derivative (nucleotide); the
nucleotides needed for cellular metabolism are obtained solely from de
novo synthesis. In the presence of TK, TFT is converted into nucleotides,
which are lethal to the cells. Thus, cells which will survive in culture
medium containing TFT are mutated, either spontaneously or by the action
of the test substance, giving rise to a TK deficient phenotype.
A test article which induces a positive response in this assay is presumed
to be a potential mammalian cell mutagen.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
TEST SYSTEM
Test System
L5178Y mouse lymphoma cells
Rationale
Recognized by the international guidelines as the recommended test system (e.g. EPA, OECD, EEC).
Source
Dr. A.G.A.C. Knaap, Department of Radiation Genetics and Chemical Mutagenesis of the State University of Leiden, The Netherlands (1981). This mouse lymphoma cell line was originally derived from the Fischer L5178Y line, isolated by Clive (1975)* *) Clive, D. and Spector, J.F.S., 1975, Laboratory procedure for assessing specific locus mutations at the TK locus in cultured L5178Y mouse lymphoma cells, Mutation Res., 31, 17-29.
Stock cultures of these cells were stored in liquid nitrogen (-196C) The cultures were checked for mycoplasma contamination.
CELL CULTURE
Cell culture conditions
L5178Y mouse lymphoma cells were cultured in
F10 complete culture medium. Cultures were incubated in a humid atmosphere containing 5% CO2 in air at 37C. Cell density was preferably kept below 7 x 105 cells/ml. Cells were exposed to the test substance in FIO
complete culture medium without serum, buffered with 20 mM HEPES.
F10 complete culture medium
FIO complete culture medium consisted of Ham's FIO medium without thymidine and hypoxanthine (Gibco), supplemented with 10% horse serum, Lglutamine (2 mM) and penicillin/streptomycin (50 U/ml and 50 yg/ml respectively).
Selective medium
Selective medium consisted of FIO complete culture medium which contained, in addition 0.33% Agar Noble (Difco) and 5 yg/ml TFT (Sigma).
Cloning medium
Cloning medium consisted of FIO complete
culture medium, supplemented with 10% horse
serum, which was transformed into a gel by
addition of 0.33% Agar Noble.

Environmental conditions
All incubations were carried out in a humid
atmosphere (80-95%) containing 5% CO2 in air in the dark at 37C. The temperature and CO2 percentage were monitored during the experiment.
REFERENCE SUBSTANCES
Negative control : The vehicle of the test article.
Positive controls:
Without metabolic activation (-S9-mix): Ethylmethanesulphonate (EMS; CAS no. 62-50-0; purity 98%; Janssen Chimica) (2 mM) was used. EMS causes direct alkylation of DNA.
With metabolic activation (+S9-mix): Dimethylnitrosamine (DMN; CAS-no. 62-75-9, purity 99%, Janssen Chimica) (0.5 mM) was used. DMN had to be activated by microsomal enzymes present in the S9-mix, resulting in a methyldiazonium ion which could react with cellular DNA.
Solvents for Reference Substances Hank's balanced salt solution without calcium and magnesium.
Solutions of reference substances were prepared immediately before use.
METABOLIC ACTIVATION SYSTEM
Preparation of S9-homogenate*
Rat liver microsomal enzymes were routinely prepared from adult male Wistar or Sprague Dawley rats, which were obtained from BRL, Switzerland.
The animals were housed at NOTOX in a special room under standard laboratory conditions, as described in the SOP's. The rats were injected intraperitoneally with a solution (20% w/v) of Aroclor 1254 (500 mg/kg body
weight) in corn oil. Five days later, they were killed by decapitation; (they were denied access to food for at least 12 hours preceding sacrifice). The livers of the rats were removed aseptically, and washed in cold (0C) sterile 0.1 M sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) containing 0.1 mM Na2 *EDTA. Subsequently the livers were minced in a blender and homogenized in 3 volumes of phosphate buffer with a Potter homogenizer. The homogenate was centrifuged for 15 min at 9000 g. The supernatant (S9) was transferred into sterile ampules, which were stored in liquid nitrogen (-196C).

Preparation of S9-mix
S9-mix was prepared immediately before use and kept on ice during the test. S9-mix contained per ml: 1.02 mg MgCl2.6H20; 2.46 mg KC1; 1.7 mg glucose-ephosphate; 3.4 mg NADP; 4 pmol HEPES and 0.5 ml S9. The above solutions were mixed and filter (0.22 pm)-sterilized (apart from the S9-fraction, which was added after filter-sterilization of the S9-mix components). Metabolic activation was achieved by adding 0.2 ml liver S9-mix to each ml of cell suspension.
EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE
Selection of Dose Levels/Cytotoxicity Test
Prior to the actual mutagenicity test cytotoxicity data were obtained by treating 6 x 106 cells, suspended in 6 ml of F-10 medium buffered with 20 mM HEPES, in the absence of serum in a sterile 30 ml centrifuge tube with a range of test substance concentrations in approximately half log steps, both in the absence and presence of S9-mix. The centrifuge tubes were rotated for 3 h on a roller mixer at 37C. After the exposure, the cells were separated from the treatment solutions by 3 centrifugation steps (115 g, 8 min), each followed by removal of the supernatant and resuspension of the cells, twice in Hank's balanced salt solution and finally in F-10 medium. The cells in the final suspension were counted in an "Improved Neubauer" haemocytometer. Relative cytotoxicity, expressed as the reduction after approximately 24 h and 48 h growth compared to nontreated control cells, was used to determine a suitable concentration range (4 doses) of the test substance to be applied to cultures prepared for mutagenicity testing. In case the test substance was not toxic and/or difficult to dissolve in aqueous solutions the highest concentration was determined by the solubility in the culture medium. In general concentrations exceeding 5 mg/ml were not tested.
Cleansing
Prior to mutagenicity (and cytotoxicity) testing, the cells were grown for 1 day in culture medium containing 10'* M hypoxanthine, 2 x 10'7 M aminopterin and 1.6 x 10'5 M thymidine (HAT-medium) to reduce the amount of spontaneous mutants, followed by a recovery period of 2 days on medium containing hypoxanthine and thymidine only. After this period cells were returned to normal medium at least for 1 day before starting the experiment.

Mutagenicity test*
The test substance was tested both with and without S9-mix in two independent experiments. 6 x 106 cells (106/ml), or 12 x 106 cells (106/ml) for test substance concentrations expected to be strongly toxic, for each selected dose cells were exposed for 3 h to the test substance in HEPESbuffered Ham's F-10 medium without serum. For this purpose the cell suspensions were placed in 30 ml centrifuge tubes on a roller mixer at 37C. Solvent and positive controls were included. After exposure, cells were washed twice with HBSS, counted and seeded in F-10 culture medium for expression of the mutant phenotype. The cultures were subcultured at least every other day in order to maintain log phase growth. The expression period for TFT-resistant mutants was 3 days. Immediately after exposure to the test substance 3 x 200 cells of each dose were plated into P90 petri dishes containing 15 ml cloning medium to determine cell survival (cloning efficiency). The cell survival was counted after 10-14 days with the Artek colony counter or the naked eye.

Mutant selection
After the expression period a total number of 1.5 x 106 cells were plated in ten P90 petri dishes, each containing 15 ml selective medium (TFTselection). TK-deficient mutants formed microcolonies in 10-17 days, which were counted with the naked eye. Cloning efficiencies at the time of mutant selection were determined as described above. The mutant frequency was expressed as the number of mutants per 105 surviving cells.

ACCEPTABILITY OF ASSAY
A mutation assay was considered acceptable if it met the following criteria: a) The absolute cloning efficiency of the solvent controls was > 50%. b) At least three of the four doses of the test substance had an acceptable
number of surviving cells (106) analysed for expression of the TK mutation. c) The spontaneous mutant frequency in the untreated or solvent control was < 5 per 105 clonable cells. d) The positive controls (ethylmethanesulfonate and dimethylnitrosamine) induced significant (at least 2-fold) increases in the mutant frequencies.
DATA EVALUATION AND STATISTICAL PROCEDURES
No formal hypothesis testing was done. A test substance was considered positive (mutagenic) in the mutation assay if: a) It induced at least a 2-fold increase in the mutant frequency compared
to the solvent control in a dose-dependent manner; and b) The results were reproducible in an independently repeated test.
A test substance was considered negative (not mutagenic) in the mutation assay if: a) None of the tested concentrations showed a mutant frequency at least
twice that of the solvent control. b) The results were confirmed in an independently repeated test.
The preceding criteria were not absolute and other modifying factors might enter into the final evaluation decision.

RESULTS
CYTOTOXICITY TEST/DOSAGE SELECTION
Preliminary solubility tests indicated that T-5874 was soluble in DMSQ at 120 mg/ml but precipitated in the exposition medium at concentrations of 333 yg/ml and upwards. Table 1 shows the results of the preliminary cytotoxicity test with T-5874 in the presence and absence of a metabolic activation system (S9-mix). In the absence of S9-mix T-5874 inhibited the growth of the lymphoma cells in suspension at a test substance concentration of 100 yg/ml by 58% and at 333 yg/ml by 81%. In the presence of S9-mix the test substance inhibited the growth of the lymphoma cells in suspension at 333 yg/ml by 44%.
MUTAGENICITY TEST
Based on the results of the cytotoxicity test (Table 1), the following dose range was selected for mutagenicity testing: Without S9-mix: 10 to 333 yg/ml culture medium With S9-mix : 10 to 333 yg/ml culture medium
EMS (2 mM) was used as a positive control in the test without metabolic activation, whereas DMN, (0.5 mM) served as a positive control for the assay with metabolic activation. Tables 2 and 3 show the percentages of cell survival and the mutant frequencies for various concentrations of T-5874. Individual colony counts of cloning and selective plates, and cell counts during subculturing are listed in Tables 4-9 of the appendix.
In the absence of S9-mix the test substance induced a slight (2.3-fold) increase in the mutant frequency in experiment 1. In experiment 2 a slight, less than 2-fold increase in the mutant frequency was observed. However, the increase in the mutant frequency was not reproducible (not 2fold in the second experiment) and not dose related. Therefore, the test substance is considered not mutagenic in the absence of S9-mix. In the presence of S9-mix the test substance induced no significant increase in the mutant frequency in both independent experiments.
The spontaneous mutant frequencies in the solvent-treated control cultures were within our historical control data range (2.0 + 1.2 in the absence of S9-mix and 1.4 + 0.8 in the presence of S9-mix; indicated are means + S.D. for n=40 and 41 respectively). Mutant frequencies induced by positive control chemicals were increased by 5- to 7-fold for EMS and by 9- to 10-fold for DMN. It was therefore concluded that the test conditions were optimal and that the metabolic activation system (S9-mix) functioned properly.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, T-5874 is not mutagenic in the TK mutation test systffikyii. under the experimental conditions described in this report.
