Genotoxicity of organic bentonite particles in vitro

OBJECTIVE: To study the genotoxicity induced by organic bentonite particles in vitro.

METHODS: Human B lymphoblast cells (HMy2.CIR) were exposed to organic bentonite particles at the doses of 0, 1.88, 3.75, 7.50 and 15.00 µg/ml for 24, 48 and 72 h, calcium sulfate (30 µg/ml) and SiO2 (30 and 240 µg/ml) served as negative and positive controls, respectively. The genotoxicity of organic bentonite particles and soluble fraction was detected using comet assay and Cytokinesis-block micronucleus (CBMN) assay.

RESULTS: The results of comet assay indicated that % tail DNA increased with the exposure doses and time in organic bentonite group, % tail DNA at the dose of 15.00 µg/ml for 24 h, 48 h and 72 h in organic bentonite group were 3.20 ± 0.19, 4.63 ± 0.88 and 9.49 ± 1.31 respectively which were significantly higher than those in calcium sulfate group (1.40 ± 0.11, 1.37 ± 0.22 and 0.90 ± 0.16) and those in 30 µg/ml SiO2 group (1.83 ± 0.21, 1.41 ± 0.27 and 2.48 ± 0.25) (P < 0.01). The results of CBMN assay showed that micronucleus frequencies (MNF) in organic bentonite group (except for 1.88 µg/ml for 24 h) were significantly higher than those in 30 µg/ml calcium sulfate group (MNF for 24, 48 and 72 h were 1.33‰ ± 0.58‰, 1.33‰ ± 1.15‰ and 1.33‰ ± 0.58‰) and those in 30 µg/ml SiO2 group (2.00‰ ± 0.00‰, 1.68‰ ± 0.58‰ and 2.33‰ ± 0.58‰) (P < 0.01). The results of two assays demonstrated that the soluble fraction of organic bentonite did not induce the genotoxicity.

CONCLUSION: The organic bentonite dusts can induce the genotoxicity in vitro, which may be from the particle fraction.
