소핵시험은 세포분열 단계 중 간기 세포의 세포질 내 소핵 유무를 조사함으로써 유전독성을 평가하는 시험법이다. 최근 화장품 안전성 평가에 동물실험을 금지하거나 최소화하려는 노력이 확산되고 있어 유전독성 평가에 있어서도 기존의 동물실험이 아닌 새로운 in vitro 시험법이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 3차원 배양인공피부모델인 KeraSkin$^{TM}$을 이용하여 도포 처치된 물질의 유전독성을 평가하였다. 2종의 유전독성물질인 mitomycin C (MMC)와 methyl methanesulfonate (MMS)는 농도 의존적으로 세포독성과 소핵 형성이 유도된 반면, 대조물질인 4-nitrophenol (4-NP)와 trichloroethylene (TCE)에서는 농도 의존적으로 세포독성은 관찰되었으나 소핵은 형성되지 않았다. 따라서 인공피부모델을 이용한 소핵시험이 화장품과 같은 피부적용물질의 in vitro 유전독성 평가에 유용할 것으로 사료된다.

YHB216 is one of new recombinant human erythropoietins (rHu-EPO) developed by Yuhan Research Institute. The rHu-EPO products are widely being used for the treatment of various types of anemia. As a series of safety studies on YHB216, we performed the local irritation test (dermal & ocular application) in male New Zealand White rabbits and micronucleus test in male ICR mice. In the skin irritation test, 0.5 ml of YHB216 10,000 IU/ml solution was applied to the back skin of rabbits for 24 hours and sub-sequent observation was performed. There was no induced response after the treatment and the primary irritation index (P.I.I.) was‘0’. In the eye irritation test, 0.1 ml of YHB216 10,000 IU/mL solution was instilled into the conjunctiva of the eye. No treatment-related reaction was observed at the cornea, iris, and conjunctiva. In the micronucleus test, YHB216 was administered intravenously to male mice (6 mice per group) at dose levels of 0, 6,250, 12,500, and 25,000 IU/kg. Bone marrow cells were collected at 24 hours after the treatment. YHB216 treated groups showed no significant difference in the P/N (polychromatic erythrocyte/ normochromatic erythrocyte) ratio and in the number of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocyte com-pared with the control. In conclusion, YHB216 was found to be a non-irritating material up to 10,000 IU/ml in the local irritation test and to be a non-mutagen up to 25,000 IU/kg in the micronucleus test.

In order to evaluate the mutagenic potential of SDK(skin decontamination kit) produced by Agency for Defense Development(ADD), were performed Salmonella typhimurium reversion assay, chromosomal aberration test on chinese hamster ovarian cells and in vivo micronucleus assay using mouse bone marrow cells according to the established regulation of Korean Food and Drug Administration. In the reverse mutation test using Salmonella typhimurium TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537 did not in-crease the number of revertant at any of the concentration tested in this study. SDK did not increase the number of cells having structural or numerical chromosome aberration in cytogenetic test. In mouse micronucleus test, no significant increase in the occurrence oj micro nucleated polychromatic erythrocytes were observed in ICR male mice intraperitoneally administered with SDK. These results indicate that SDK has no mutagenic effects under these experimental conditions.

Although 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin(TCDD) is a powerful carcinogen in several species, limited model system exist to study carcinogenicity of this compound at cellular level. To enhance our under-standing of carcinogenicity of TCDD at cellular level, we investigated micronucleus (MN) frequency as a index of genetic toxicity and whether TCDD can transform the human cells in culture. Normal human cell lines, skin keratinocyte HaCaT, Chang liver and breast MCF10A cells were used. TCDD did not affect the cell viability of the Chang liver, HaCaT and MCF10A cells. The frequency of micronucleus was increased after treatment of TCDD for 24hr in Chang liver and HaCaT cells, but not changed in MCF10A cells. And we observed putative transformed cells in Chang liver cells exposed to 1 $\mu$M TCDD for 2 weeks. The putative transformed cells were also observed in HaCaT cells with subsequent exposure to TCDD (0.1, 1, 10, 100 nM) for 2 weeks after initial exposure to MNNG, but not observed in MCF10A cells. Collectively, these results indicate that the ability of TCDD to induce micronuclei may be involved in cellular transformation of Chang liver and HaCaT cells. Our putative TCDD-transformed cells of Chang liver and HaCaT are expected to provide a clue to the elucidation of TCDD-induced transformation pathway.

Arsenic is one of the most toxic environmental toxicants. More than 150 million people worldwide are exposed to arsenic through ground water contamination. It is an exclusive human carcinogen. Although the hallmarks of arsenic toxicity are skin lesions and skin cancers, arsenic can also induce cancers in the lung, liver, kidney, urinary bladder, and other internal organs. Arsenic is a non-mutagenic compound but can induce significant cytogenetic damage as measured by chromosomal aberrations, sister chromatid exchanges, and micronuclei formation in human systems. These genotoxic end points are extensively used to predict genotoxic potentials of different environmental chemicals, drugs, pesticides, and insecticides. These cytogenetic end points are also used for evaluating cancer risk. Here, by critically reviewing and analyzing the existing literature, we conclude that inorganic arsenic is a genotoxic carcinogen.

한국산 담수어류에 기생하는 섬모충류를 조사하기 위해 본 연구를 시행하였으며, 본 논문에서는 수온 $22^{\circ}C$에서 붕어(Carassius carassius)로 부터 Chilodonella 속 기생성 섬모충을 검출하여 동정 분류하였다. 감염어의 체표, 지느러미 및 아가미에 무수히 많은 섬모충이 관찰되었으며 감염 부위에 과도한 점액이 분비된 것을 볼 수 있었다. 그리고 빈사 상태의 병어에서는 궤양이 형성된 것을 볼 수 있었다. 감염된 붕어로 부터 검출된 Chilodonella 충은 그 모양이 타원형으로 후면의 가장자리에 notch(V자형 새김)가 없고 배복(背腹) 방향으로 편평하였다. 충체의 길이는 30-$45{\mu}m$이며 폭은 15-$30{\mu}m$인 것으로 계측되었으며 가장자리의 섬모열은 왼쪽과 오른쪽이 각각 3-5열 이었다. 그리고 아치 모양의 오른쪽 섬모열은 직선의 왼쪽 섬모열보다 길이가 더 긴 것으로 나타났다. 충체 내부에는 직경 8-$15{\mu}m$의 둥근 대핵과 직경 2-$4{\mu}m$의 소핵이 있었으며, 복면(腹面) 앞부분에 있는 세포구는 충체 표면에서 직접 밖으로 열리며 세포인두와 연결된 것으로 관찰되었다. 세포구를 둘러싸고 있는 세포 인두는 10-16 가닥의 간상체(桿狀體)양 홈으로 이루어져 있으며 안쪽 끝이 굽어져 있는 것으로 관찰되었다. 충체는 2개의 수축포를 가진 것으로 관찰되었으며 각각 오른쪽 앞끝과 왼쪽 뒤끝에 위치했다. 그리고 수온 $22^{\circ}C$에서 이 기생충의 번식은 단순한 이분열을 나타내었다. 이상의 결과로 부터 이 기생충은 Chilodonella hexasticha(Kiernik, 1909)로 분류할 수 있었다.
