The effect of various doses (0-10 mg/kg body wt.) of teniposide (VM-26) was studied on the induction of micronuclei at 12, 24 and 36 h post-treatment. The frequency of micronuclei (MPCE and MNCE) increased in a dose-dependent manner up to a dose of 0.3125 mg/kg VM-26, where a peak frequency of micronuclei was observed. A further increase in the drug dose resulted in the reduction in micronuclei frequency in comparison with 0.3125 mg/kg drug dose reaching a nadir at 10 mg/kg. However, it was significantly higher than DDW (double distilled water) treated controls. The pattern of micronuclei induction was similar for all the post-treatment time periods. The frequency of micronuclei also increased with scoring time and the highest frequency of micronuclei was observed at 24 h post-treatment, which declined thereafter without restoration to DDW treated control level. Conversely, the PCE/NCE ratio registered a dose-dependent decline after treatment of mice with various doses of VM-26. A peak decline was observed at a dose of 0.3125 mg/kg, thereafter the decline became consistently less resulting in an elevation in the PCE/NCE ratio in comparison with 0.3125 mg/kg VM-26.

PMID:Elevation of micronuclei frequency in mouse bone marrow treated with various doses of teniposide (VM-26). 1007 55

The effect of Teniposide (VM-26) pretreatment was studied on the micronuclei induction in the bone marrow of mice exposed to 0, 0.5, 1, 2 and 3 Gy of gamma radiation at 12, 24 and 36 h post-irradiation. Administration of 0.05 mg/kg body weight of VM-26 to mice before irradiation resulted in the significant enhancement of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes (MPCE) at 12, 24 and 36 h post-irradiation. Highest elevation in the frequency of MPCE was observed in VM-26+irradiation group after exposure to 0.5 Gy when compared to concurrent DDW+irradiation group. This increase was two fold higher in VM-26+irradiation group at 12 and 24 h, while it was 3 fold higher at 36 h post-irradiation compared to DDW+irradiation group. The peak frequency of MPCE was observed at 24 h post-irradiation in both groups, which declined thereafter. The frequency of micronucleated normochromatic erythrocytes (MNCE) increased in a dose dependent manner in both DDW+irradiation and VM-26+irradiation groups. However, the frequency of MNCE was significantly higher in the latter when compared to the former group. The frequency of MNCE exhibited a continuous elevation up to 36 h post-irradiation in both DDW+irradiation and VM-26+irradiation groups. Treatment of mice with teniposide before irradiation resulted in a significant decline in the PCE/NCE ratio compared to DDW+irradiation group. The PCE/NCE ratio continued to decline up to 36 h post-irradiation in both the groups. The dose response for MPCE and PCE/NCE ratio was linear quadratic, while it was linear for MNCE.
