Abstract:Objective To assess the potential developmental embryonic toxicity of gardenia yellow with embryonic stem cell test, post-implantation whole embryo culture test and micromass test.Methods In embryonic stem cell test, the effect of gardenia yellow on proliferation of mouse embryonic stem cell ES-D3 and embryonic fibroblast BALB/3T3, as well as differentiation of ES-D3 into cardiomyocytes, were tested. In post-implantation whole embryo culture test, the rat embryos at day 9.5 of gestation were derived and cultured. The growth index of embryos were measured and the total morphological score were calculated according to Brown′s Method. In micromass test, the limb bud cells of embryos were isolated from mature rats at day 13 of gestation and cultured. The proliferation of limb bud cells was determined by neutral red staining and the differentiation was measured by alcian blue staining. The developmental toxicity of gardenia yellow was evaluated with the prediction models of European Centre for the Validation of Alternative Methods (ECVAM).Results The no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) of gardenia yellow on proliferation of ES-D3 and BALB/3T3 was 125 μg/mL and 31.25 μg/mL, the IC50-D3 and IC50-3T3 was 236.57 μg/mL and 231.87 μg/mL, respectively. The NOAEL of gardenia yellow on differentiation ability of ES-D3 into cardiomyocytes was 31.3 μg/mL,and the ID50 was 94.84 μg/mL。Gardenia yellow had no significant effect on embryo growth and morphology in 1 000 μg/mL. The NOAEL of gardenia yellow on both proliferation and differentiation of limb bud cell was 50 μg/ml, the IC50 and ID50 were 175 μg/mL and 152 μg/mL, respectively.Conclusion Gardenia yellow was evaluated as weak embryonic developmental toxic substance by embryonic stem cell test and micromass test prediction models, and as non-embryogenic toxic substance by post-implantation whole embryo culture prediction model.
