Diaz, Dolores; Scott, Andrew; Carmichael, Paul; Shi, Wei; Costales, Chester published the artcile< Evaluation of an automated in vitro micronucleus assay in CHO-K1 cells>, Related Products of 6055-19-2, the main research area is genotoxicity micronucleus bioassay CHOK1 cell.
The authors describe the evaluation of an automated in vitro micronucleus assay using CHO-K1 cells in 96-well plates. CHO-K1 cells were pre-loaded with a cell dye that stains the cytoplasm, after which the cells were treated with the test compounds for either 3 h (for the +S9 condition) or 24 h (for the -S9 condition). A total of 10 concentrations were tested, of which the top 5 concentrations were scored (limited by either cytotoxicity or solubility). At the end of the incubation period the cells were fixed and their DNA was stained with Hoechst. The visualization and scoring of the cells was done using an automated fluorescent microscope coupled with proprietary automated image anal. software provided by Cellomics (Pittsburg, PA). A total of 46 compounds were used in this evaluation, including 8 aneugens and 25 clastogens with varied mechanisms of action. Thirteen non-genotoxic compounds were also included. The automated scoring had a sensitivity of 88% and a specificity of 100%, with a predictive value pos. of 100% and a predictive value neg. of 76%, compared to data from the literature that was obtained with manual scoring. The authors also describe the incorporation of a metabolic activation system using rat liver S9 homogenates, and the use of cell number counts as a cytotoxicity index which is complementary to the CBPI- (cytokinesis-block proliferation index) based index. Finally, the authors also discuss the potential for artifactual findings due to fluorescent precipitate, which should be carefully monitored to prevent false pos. results. In conclusion, the automated in vitro micronucleus scoring is a valid alternative to the manual scoring of slides, and it has the advantage of generating data in a rapid and consistent manner, and with low compound requirements, which makes it well suited as a screening assay in the early stages of compound development.
