Resumen:
The fungicide Iprodione is widely applied in vegetables and raises concern for human health. The A549 human lung carcinoma cell line is a suitable model for assessing the toxicological effects of drugs. The goal of this work was to evaluate the genotoxicity and oxidative stress in the A549 cell line exposed to sublethal concentrations from 3 to 100 µg/mL Iprodione considering LC50= 243.4 µg/mL Iprodione, as determined by the MTT assay. Generalized Linear Mixed Models (GLMM) were performed to determine the association between the responses NDI, MNim and MNib and the explanatory variables. Iprodione and solvent were relativized to the control whereas the concentration was included as numeric variable. ANOVA was used for the comparison of treatments. The coefficients of linear association between the explanatory variables and NDI, and the coefficients of logistic association between explanatory variables and MNim were not significant. However, these coefficients showed significant association with MNib only for Iprodione treatment but not for Iprodione concentration, indicating lack of dose-response relationship. Genotoxicity risk assessment indicated that the increase in Iprodione concentrations increased slightly the probability of belonging to the genotoxic category. ANOVA showed significant differences in MNib, and non-significant differences in NDI and MNim among treatments. The oxidative stress analysis performed at 3, 12, and 25 μg/mL Iprodione showed a significant and linear increase in SOD, and a significant and linear decrease in GSH and GST. The Dunnet test was significant for GSH at 12 and SOD at 25 μg/mL.
