Molecular basis of active copper resistance mechanisms in Gram-negative bacteriaCell Biology and Toxicology - Tập 29 - Trang 397-405 - 2013
Kinga Bondarczuk, Zofia Piotrowska-Seget
Copper is a metallic element that is crucial for cell metabolism; however, in extended concentrations, it is toxic for all living organisms. The dual nature of copper has forced organisms, including bacteria, to keep a tight hold on cellular copper content. This challenge has led to the evolution of complex mechanisms that on one hand enable them to deliver the essential element and on the other t...... hiện toàn bộ
Newin vitro fluorimetric microtitration assays for toxicological screening of drugsCell Biology and Toxicology - Tập 10 - Trang 329-337 - 1994
P. Rat, C. Korwin-Zmijowska, J. -M. Warnet, M. Adolphe
Flow cytometry has been widely used to quantify fluorescent probes in cell culture. However, FCM is not adapted to toxicological screenings due to the cost, the length and the poor reproducibility of this technique. Moreover, several multicenter studies have preferred microtitration methodologies for drug screening. A new fluorimetric technology has been designed that is sensitive and adapted to d...... hiện toàn bộ
Gestational bisphenol A exposure induces fatty liver development in male offspring mice through the inhibition of HNF1b and upregulation of PPARγCell Biology and Toxicology - - 2021

AbstractBisphenol A (BPA) is an endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC) associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The effects of gestational BPA exposure on hepatic lipid accumulation in offspring are not fully understood. Here, we investigate the sex-dependent effects of gestational BPA exposure on hepatic lipid and glucose metabolism in the offspring...... hiện toàn bộ
Hsp70 expression in monocytes from patients with peripheral arterial disease and healthy controlsCell Biology and Toxicology - Tập 26 - Trang 215-223 - 2009

Heat shock proteins (HSP) are induced during cellular stress. Their role is to chaperone cellular proteins giving protection from denaturation and ultimately preventing cell death. Monocytes are key cells involved in atherosclerosis and are highly responsive to HSP induction. Therefore, we wished to examine monocyte Hsp70 expression and induction in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) ...... hiện toàn bộ
The differential effects of cadmium exposure on the growth and survival of primary and established cells from fish and mammalsCell Biology and Toxicology - Tập 12 - Trang 29-38 - 1996
M. Lyons-Alcántara, J. V. Tarazona, C. Mothersill
The differential cytotoxic effects of cadmium on fish and mammalian epithelial cells in established and primary culture were assessed by looking at the reduction of the colony-forming ability and reduction in the extent of growth. The influence of medium composition on the toxicity of cadmium was also studied using serum-free and serum-containing media. The experiments using immortalized cell line...... hiện toàn bộ
Food grade titanium dioxide disrupts intestinal brush border microvilli in vitro independent of sedimentationCell Biology and Toxicology - Tập 30 - Trang 169-188 - 2014
James J. Faust, Kyle Doudrick, Yu Yang, Paul Westerhoff, David G. Capco
Bulk- and nano-scale titanium dioxide (TiO2) has found use in human food products for controlling color, texture, and moisture. Once ingested, and because of their small size, nano-scale TiO2 can interact with a number of epithelia that line the human gastrointestinal tract. One such epithelium responsible for nutrient absorption is the small intestine, whose constituent cells contain microvilli t...... hiện toàn bộ
Photosensitized mefloquine induces ROS-mediated DNA damage and apoptosis in keratinocytes under ambient UVB and sunlight exposureCell Biology and Toxicology - Tập 30 - Trang 253-268 - 2014

The present study illustrates the photosensitizing behavior of mefloquine (MQ) in human skin keratinocytes under ambient doses of UVB and sunlight exposure. Photochemically, MQ generated reactive oxygen species superoxide radical, hydroxyl radical, and singlet oxygen through type I and type II photodynamic reactions, respectively, which caused photooxidative damage to DNA and formed localized DNA ...... hiện toàn bộ
Arsenite induced sensitization and self-tolerance of Reuber H35 hepatoma cellsCell Biology and Toxicology - Tập 9 - Trang 49-59 - 1993
Fred A. C. Wiegant, Jan E. M. Souren, Han Van Rijn, Roeland Van Wijk
Our data show that a short incubation with arsenite (30–300 μM) induces a biphasic change in ceSlular sensitivity towards a second exposure to arsenite. A transient sensitization was followed by the development of self-tolerance. Sensitization was measured using the step-down protocol; i.e., application of a high dose of arsenite pretreatment (100 or 300 μM) followed immediately by incubation in a...... hiện toàn bộ
