Male B6C3F1 mice and Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed for 2 days, 6 h/day to 1,3-butadiene (BD) by inhalation (nose only) and their bone marrow cells were evaluated for the induction of micronuclei (MN) and sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs). A significant dose-dependent increase in MN induction was observed in mice. At 100 p.p.m., the frequency of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes was 6-fold above control with a maximal induction of 38-fold at 10,000 p.p.m. A significant increase in SCEs was also observed in mouse bone marrow cells starting at 100 p.p.m. with a 4-fold increase over the control evident at 10,000 p.p.m. The highest tested no observed effect level for both endpoints was 50 p.p.m. In contrast, rat bone marrow cells did not exhibit significant increases in micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes or SCEs. These results indicate that BD is genotoxic in the bone marrow of the mouse but not the rat. This paralleled the chronic bioassays which showed mice to be more susceptible than rats to BD carcinogenicity.

D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.

D002467 Cell Nucleus Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell
