The induction of micronuclei in mouse peripheral blood reticulocytes (RETs) was studied with the spindle poisons vincristine sulfate (VINC) and colchicine (COL) using acridine orange (AO) supravital staining. Each chemical was studied independently in two laboratories using the same protocol. Blood samples were prepared at 0, 24, 48, and 72 h after a single intraperitoneal treatment with VINC (0.0625, 0.125, and 0.25 mg/kg) or COL (0.25, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 mg/kg). Both VINC and COL induced micronucleated RETs (MNRETs) significantly and dose-dependently with a peak at 48 h after treatment. Maximum frequencies of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes (MNPCEs) were observed 24 h after treatment with VINC; thus, the transition time from MNPCEs to MNRETs was about 24 h. Both spindle poisons gave comparable results in the paired laboratories, indicating that the present AO supravital staining method is highly reproducible.

D009153 Mutagens Chemical agents that increase the rate of genetic mutation by interfering with the function of nucleic acids. A clastogen is a specific mutagen that causes breaks in chromosomes. Clastogen,Clastogens,Genotoxin,Genotoxins,Mutagen
D012156 Reticulocytes Immature ERYTHROCYTES. In humans, these are ERYTHROID CELLS that have just undergone extrusion of their CELL NUCLEUS. They still contain some organelles that gradually decrease in number as the cells mature. RIBOSOMES are last to disappear. Certain staining techniques cause components of the ribosomes to precipitate into characteristic "reticulum" (not the same as the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM), hence the name reticulocytes. Reticulocyte
D003078 Colchicine A major alkaloid from Colchicum autumnale L. and found also in other Colchicum species. Its primary therapeutic use is in the treatment of gout, but it has been used also in the therapy of familial Mediterranean fever (PERIODIC DISEASE). Colchicine, (+-)-Isomer,Colchicine, (R)-Isomer
