A
Survey
of
Metal-induced Mutagenicity
in Vitro and in Vivo
K. HANSEN' and R.M. STERN'
ABSTRACT
A survey of the literature shows that organic and inorganic compounds of
53
metals have
been assayed for genotoxic effects in vitro and in vivo. It is falund that there are great
variations in the response obtained with different test systems and that a wide range of
compounds of the different metals is positive in at least one of the short-term tests. Some
of the variation observed could be due to differences in uptake mechanisms. This effect
plus the wide variation in the quantity and quality of the data ]prevents any direct com-
parison of in vitro activity with in vivo potency of the various imetallic species.
INTRODUCTION
HE INTERNATIONAL literature has been surveyed in an attempt to correlate the results of genotox-
T
icity experiments performed in vitro and in vivo using organic and inorganic metal compounds, with known carcinogenic effects of metals in man. Compounds of53
metallic elements are reported to have been tested for genotoxic effects (Table l), but the number of experiments for which the in- dividual metals have been tested is found to vary widely, e.g., chromium has been assayed in more than300
individual experiments, whereas
beryllium has been tested in only24
cases.For
those 5 to10
metals with significant data bases, e.g., nickel and chromium, the prevalence of positive data agrees with the epidemiological evidence, although the wide range of in vivo and in vitro potency still prevents resolution of questions of compound specificity. For the many remaining metals with relatively little available data, it is impossible to determine if there is a preponderance of positiveor
negative results
or
to make comparisons between them. The main purpose of this survey is to review the present status of the short-term screening data base for metals and to identify neglected or con- troversial areas deserving of further study. It is also intended for use as a resource in the process of estimating potential human risk.SURVEY OF THE METALS
A large number of test systems have been used for the study of metals. These systems have been grouped into the following
16
categories:1 . Infidelity of DNA synthesis in vitro
2. DNA damage in prokaryotes 3 . DNA repair in prokaryotes 4. Ames Salmonella-microsome test

The principles of the systems and some examples of the type of cells and methods used in these
categories are briefly described in Appendix
1 . The metals and metalloids that have been tested arelisted alphabetically according to their English names in separate sections for each of the elements in
Appendix
2.The literature survey has disclosed that a wide range of salts and other compounds has been
studied, including organic and inorganic compounds of metal ions in various oxidation states. Usu-
ally the chemical formulas have been given, and these are used to identify the compounds listed. In
some cases, especially for complex substances, the chemical formulas have not been disclosed or
defined, and the substances assayed are listed by name only.
Inorganic compounds are listed in subgroups in the order of the oxidation state of the appropriate
metal ion, followed by groups of inorganic salts, and finally complex compounds. The results from
mutagenicity testing of some nonmetallic inorganic compounds are included as well.
Dividing the many test systems into the 16 groups permits a rapid comparison of the extent of the
database for both metallic ions and individual compounds, a limited overview of which can be seen
in Table
2,for those metals for which there might be interest in ascertaining human risk. A positive
sign indicates at least one positive result regardless of the number
of negatives, and a negative sign
indicates the absence
ofpositive results.
In order to increase the utility
ofthis survey, an attempt has been made to evaluate the data in
each of the original articles. Positive results are classified into three categories according to the
degree to which the information is quantitative:
(1)data that merely indicate positive response at
some dose level, (2) data that permit a comparison of the positive response with a negative control,
(3)
data that indicate a dose-response relationship. Negative test results regardless of quality are
separately indicated. Some results are felt to be equivocal and are so indicated. No attempt has been
made to evaluate the laboratory practice used in the test procedures
aisreported.
In the absence of comments to the contrary, the original papers have been referred to in preparing
the listing, and review articles have been used only as a source of additional references. Limited use
has been made of the available data bases such as BLAISE, TOX-LINE, and the abstracting jour-
nals. The literature has been examined through to the end of
1982.
In
order to faciliate identification of references, entries in Appendix
2consist of a number that
corresponds to an entry in the Reference list.
DISCUSSION
An impression of the current state of genotoxic screening of the metals can be obtained from ex-
amination of Tables 1 and
2.Table
1 shows that inorganic complexes of a relatively large fraction ofthe common elements up to atomic number 83 in the Periodic Table have been examined in at least
one assay. From Table
2it can be seen that only a relatively few elements have been examined in a
significant number
ofthe 16 groups of test systems. It cannot be determined however, to what extent
the metallic compounds have been investigated for their specific activity without detailed examina-
tions of Table
3(Appendix 2).

-METAL-INDUCED MUTAGENICITY
Since a few of the metals (chromium, nickel, arsenic, cadmium, and beryllium) are strongly
suspected human carcinogens based on standard criteria, it might be expected that they have re-
ceived a significant amount of attention. This is, in fact, true with the notable exception
of
beryllium, which for unknown reasons has been little studied. For chromium, nickel, and arsenic,
the preponderance of positive test results as found in many systems is as imight be expected if there is
a connection between mutagenicity, genotoxicity, and carcinogenicity. 'The question of the use of in
vitro studies to predict in vivo risk cannot be resolved for cadmium because of a mixture of positive
and negative results across compounds and systems for this metallic ion.
For some of the metals, e.g., chromium, selenium, and arsenic, the geiiotoxic potency depends on
the oxidation state of the metal ion. Inorganic Cr
111is inactive in test systems using intact cells,
whereas Cr VI is positive in
all
these assays. Compounds of trivalent arsenic are more active than the
pentavalent compounds in chromosome aberrations tests, and Se(1V) compounds seem to be more
potent than the Se(V1) compounds. The results obtained with selenium are especially difficult to in-
terpret, as some of them show antigenotoxic effects whereby selenium diminishes the mutagenicity
induced by other agents. Similar conflicting results are seen in animal cancer studies.
Some of the Cr
111complexes that are carrying stable aromatic amines as ligands show a
mutagenic effect in prokaryotes. Others, such as the complexes of platinum, show a mutagenic re-
sponse depending on the configuration of the complex, e.g., cisplatin tliaminedichloride is a more
potent mutagen than the transconfiguration.
Very few attempts have been made to elucidate the question of synergistic or antagonistic effects
of two or more metals in short-term bioassay. It has been shown that manganese dust reduces cell
transformation induced by nickel subsulfide, that arsenite and
UV
light act synergistically in
mutagenicity and DNA repair assays, and that NiSO, and benzo(a)pyrene show a synergistic effect
in a cell transformation assay using primary Syrian hamster embryo cells.
Some of the variation observed in the results
of the bioassays of different metal complexes could
be due to differences in bioavailability (i.e., uptake mechanisms) rather than reflecting (molar)
genotoxic potency. The extent to which a compound at a given dose is taken up by the biological
system and is able to reach the target molecules depends, among other things, on the nature of the
uptake mechanism and on the (intracellular) reactivity of the compound in the actual surroundings,
e.g., the cell cytoplasm. Insoluble particles are incorporated into cells by different mechanisms than
are the soluble salts, whereas the complex organic compounds may reach the target organelles by yet
other pathways. Test systems using prokaryotes, yeast cells, mammalian cells or entire animals will
each exhibit a wide variation in the extent and rate at which they pick up those various metal com-
pounds that demand different uptake mechanisms.
Thus it may be misleading to compare results of different compounds administered at the same
dose in a given system, or the same compound as administered in different systems. Although the
data base is seen to still be very incomplete, the above arguments indicate that when attempting to
complete the survey
of metals, care should be taken in choosing both in vitro and in vivo short-term
test systems that are relevant to the materials used.
Short-term bioassay might be used to determine the presence or extent of risk of human exposure
to
the metals and their inorganic and organic complexes. Based on examination of the available
data, the tentative conclusion reached is that a summing up of positive and negative test results ob-
tained for each of the metallic compounds cannot be used to predict the potential human risk in-
volved with, for example, occupational exposure to metals. What can be done is to identify which
particular substances, e.g., found in specific occupational exposures, behave in vitro in ways that are
consistent with those for other, similar substances for which there exists a knowledge of eventual
human risk, thereby permitting a transfer of risk assessments from one substance to another or from
exposures in one industry to another.
An effort should be made to extend the use of the data base for the assessment of human risk. It is
undoubtably worthwhile to fill in certain gaps through the systematic use of additional test systems
for specific compounds and additional compounds with specific systems so as to develop further
understanding
ofthe mechanisms controlling biological activity. Without this understanding, it may
in many cases be necessary to treat each metallic complex as a separate entity, since there is such a
wide range of the physical and chemical properties of otherwise related compounds (such as the
ox-
ides). The short-term bioassay data base of inorganic substances does not provide the same tools for
risk estimation as are available for organic chemicals.
APPENDIX 1: TEST SYSTEMS
The test systems have been divided into 16 groups consisting of in vivo and in vitro assays using
prokaryotes and eukaryotes and with different genetic endpoints.
A brief description of each ofthe
groups is presented, with references on the principles and methods of the test systems. Most of the
references are found in a few well-known books and in the reports
of the US EPA Gene Tox Pro-
gram as listed in the Bibliogrophy. However, for those of the test systems not described therein, the
reader is referred to the actual papers used in the metals survey. Apart from the references cited
below a description and an evaluation
of screening assays can be found in IARC, 1980.
Group I . Infidelity
of
DNA Synthesis
In
Vitro
The test systems are based on cell-free DNA synthesis in which the incorporation of noncomple-
ment nucleotides is measured by radioactive labeling. In one test system an isolated viral DNA
polymerase incorporates radioactive-labeled nucleotides in a synthetic DNA template
of restricted
base composition. The test substances are added together with the labeled nucleotides, and the fre-
quency
oferrors is measured.(’0) In another procedure, the reversion frequency from mutant to
wild-type viral DNA is measured.(56)
Group 2. DNA Damage in Prokaryotes
1. Differential killing of
Bacillus subfilis
(rec-assay)
2.
Differential killing of
Escherichia
coli
(Pol A-/Pol
A’)A nonspecific DNA damaging effect in prokaryotic cells is detected by differential killing. The
prokaryotes deficient in DNA repair capacity are more sensitive to DNA-damaging agents than are
the wild-type prokaryotes, (De Serres and Ashby, 1981, Chap. 12, 13, and
14;Leifer et al. 1981,
Gene Tox Program.)
Group 3. DNA Repair in Prokaryotes
I .Inhibition of excision repair in
E. coli
2.Inhibition of SOS repair in
E. coli

an enhancement of the mutation frequency of

Group 4. Ames Salmonella-Microsome Test
In the Ames Salmonella-microsome assay the number
ofreversed mutations in
Salmonella
typhimurium
from histidine requirement to histidine independence expresses the mutagenic activity
of the test compound. The
Salmonella
strains most commonly used are TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 1538,
TA 98, and TA 100 in different test procedures with and without metabolic activation (S-9 mix), see
group 5 (Brusick, 1981, Chap. 9, prot. 1; Stich and San, 1981, Chap. 11, 12).

formed in liquid medium. (De Serres and Ashby,

3. DNA strand breaks- alkaline elution and sucrose gradient in CHO cells and human fibroblasts
Several test systems detect a nonspecific DNA-damaging effect on mammalian cells. DNA strand
breaks are detected by an alkaline elution technique
or by differential centrifugation (sucrose gra-
dient). Detection of DNA-DNA crosslinks and DNA-protein crosslinks can also be obtained by
alkaline elution. Inhibition of DNA synthesis in mammalian cells is detected by measureing the up-
take rate of labeled thymidine. (Stich and San,
1981,
Chap. 5,

Interruption of dark repair mechanism in human lymphocytes
The effect of the test compound on DNA repair mechanisms in manimalian cells is investigated by
measuring unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) or DNA repair synthesis. The uptake of radioactive-
labeled thymidine in cells not in the S period indicates that one or more of the repair systems are
working. (Stich and San,

A number of cell cultures including primary cells, established cell lines, and human cells have been
used. The genotoxic endpoints under consideration are the morphological stable rearrangements or
exchanges of the chromosomes as well as the unstable breaks and gaps.

Sister chromatid exchanges (SCE) are a result
ofgenetic damage at the chromosomal level. When
DNAlesions are replicated during the S period, exchanges between
t w odaughter molecules often
occur. On the cellular level this is seen as an exchange between two sister chromatids
in the meta-
phase (Stich and San,

Point mutation tests in mammalian cells are predominantly done on cell lines V-79, CHO,
L5178Y. The L5178Y system detects the frequency
of forward mutation in the thymidine kinase
locus from TK-’+ to TK+. In the HGPRT system the mutant cells show a resistance towards
8-azaguanine and dthioguanine that is caused by a blocked or altered HGPRT metabolic pathway.
In much the same way, the Na/KATPase pathway can be altered by mutations and the cells become
resistant toward ouabain (Bradley et al., 1981, Gene Tox Program; De Serres and Ashby, 1981,
Chap. 53,

Different established cell lines and primary hamster embryo cells have been used to detect the
transforming effect of metal compounds. The criterion for transformation is morphological changes
of cell colonies, such as piling-up and a crisscross growth pattern. Measuring the enhancement of
virus-induced transformation is also used as a transformation assay (Stich and San, 1981, Chap. 29,

The X-chromosomal recessive lethals include forward mutations, deletions, and structural rear-

the entire genome is covered by this recessive lethals tests. A
dominant lethal mutation in a gamete is considered to be the result of chromosome breaks, but also
nondisjunction can lead to dominant lethality (Brusick, 1980, Chap. 9, prot. 21; Stich and San,
1981, Chap. 34; De Serres and Ashby, 1981, Chap. 61).

Mammalian tests in vivo are a mixed group of asssays using mainly mice, rats, and hamsters. The
animals exposed to metal salts are examined for chromosome aberrations and SCEs in somatic as
well as germ cells, dominant lethals (germ cell damage), and spots in mice (mutations in genes for fur
color). In the micronucleus test, chromosome breaks
in
bone marrow cells in treated animals can be
counted, since after cell division the daughter cells contain the displaced fragments of chromosomes
as a micronucleus in the cytoplasm (Brusick, 1980, Chap. 9, prot. 14, 16, 17, 18; De Serres and

SURVEY
OF THE METALS
This is a complete listing of the short-term bioassay of metals, where the test systems are grouped
in the
16categories described in Appendix 1. Each test result (a chemical substance in a specific
mutagenicity assay) is represented by a number that refers to an entry in REFERENCES. Negative
test results are indicated by brackets around the entry number. Entry numbers without brackets are
used to indicate a positive result as reported by the author: Such results of a qualitative nature are
marked with a single underlining, whereas published quantitative data are indicated with two
underlinings. In those cases where it is felt that the data establish a dose-response
(or
dose-effect)
relationship, the citation is marked with three underlinings.
(To avoid confusion, single-digit cita-
tions appear as 5, -x-,
-x-,
two digits citations appear as
g ,
xx-,
x&-,
and three digit citations as

A question mark indicates that the published result is thought to be equivocal. Addi-
tional comments on test results have been placed in the right column of the tables. No attempt has
been made to evaluate the test procedures as reported.
