Abstract
The utility and sensitivity of the newly developed flow cytometric Pig-a gene mutation assay have become a great concern recently. In this study, we have examined the feasibility of integrating the Pig-a assay as well as micronucleus and Comet endpoints into acute and subchronic general toxicology studies. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were treated for 3 or 28 consecutive days by oral gavage with procarbazine hydrochloride (PCZ) or ethyl carbamate (EC) up to the maximum tolerated dose. The induction of CD59-negative reticulocytes and erythrocytes, micronucleated reticulocytes in peripheral blood, micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes in bone marrow, and Comet responses in peripheral blood, liver, kidney, and lung were evaluated at one, two, or more timepoints. Both PCZ and EC produced positive responses at most analyzed timepoints in all tissue types, both with the 3-day and 28-day treatment regimens. Furthermore, comparison of the magnitude of the genotoxicity responses indicated that the micronucleus and Comet endpoints generally produced greater responses with the higher dose, short-term treatments in the 3-day study, while the Pig-a assay responded better to the cumulative effects of the lower dose, but repeated subchronic dosing in the 28-day study. Collectively, these results indicate that integration of several in vivo genotoxicity endpoints into a single routine toxicology study is feasible and that the Pig-a assay may be particularly suitable for integration into subchronic dose studies based on its ability to accumulate the mutations that result from repeated treatments. This characteristic may be especially important for assaying lower doses of relatively weak genotoxicants. Environ. Mol. Mutagen. 60:56-71, 2019. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
The 'Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals' aims to identify whether a chemical is a genotoxic hazard, and these guidelines 'are periodically reviewed in the light of scientific progress, changing regulatory needs and animal welfare considerations'. OECD published a mammalian erythrocyte micronucleus test guideline for testing chemicals (1) that proposes: 'Animals are treated with the test chemical once…Samples of peripheral blood are taken at least twice (from the same group of animals), starting not earlier than 36 h after treatment, with appropriate intervals following the first sample, but not extending beyond 72 h'. This guidelines are base on the report by the Collaborative Study Group for the Micronucleus Test (CSGMT), which was based on the sampling of mice peripheral blood every 24 h We investigated the kinetics of micronucleus induction by taking samples prior to administration and every 8 or 10 h after single treatment. The comparisons suggest that 24-h sampling could cause not only an underestimation of the responses to various agents but also a misestimation of the time of maximal induction. We proposed that samples of peripheral blood must be collected at two different times during an optimal 25-h sampling range (from 25 to 50 h). Besides, we hypothesize that the time of maximal EPC-MN induction depends on the time required for the mechanisms involved in micronucleus production; and we suggest that a kinetic analysis of MN-PCE induction by several agents with well-known mechanisms of micronuclei induction would allow derivation of a specific relationship between the kinetics of MN-PCE induction and some process of DNA breaks and/or micronuclei induction.
