The mutagenic activity of bile was compared between Chilean and Japanese female patients having cholelithiasis by the Ames assay using Salmonella typhimurium tester strain TA98 in the presence of S9 mix with blue rayon adsorption technique. A reason for conducting the present investigation is that Chile and Japan have the highest mortality rates for the gallbladder cancer (GBC) in the world. Of 24 bile samples collected in Chile, 20 (83.3%) samples showed mutagenicity. In the case of Japanese bile, 21 (80.8%) of 26 and 5 (19.2%) of 26 cases were mutagenic in samples from high- and low-risk areas for GBC, respectively. Therefore, both the Chilean and the Japanese samples collected in high-risk areas showed higher mutagenic rates than the Japanese ones in a low-risk area, with a statistical significance (p < 0.001), chi-square test). The average number of revertant colonies were 128 +/- 92 (mean +/- SD), 62 +/- 14 and 66 +/- 13, respectively, when the blue rayon extracts of 200 microliters bile were applied to the Ames test. Thus, Chilean bile had a tendency to show a higher mutagenic activity than Japanese.
