Pyruvate remediation of cell stress and genotoxicity induced by haloacetic acid drinking water disinfection by‐productsEnvironmental and Molecular Mutagenesis - Tập 54 Số 8 - Trang 629-637 - 2013

Monohaloacetic acids (monoHAAs) are a major class of drinking water disinfection by‐products (DBPs) and are cytotoxic, genotoxic, mutagenic, and teratogenic. We propose a model of toxic action based on monoHAA‐mediated inhibition of glyceraldehyde‐3‐phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) as a target cytosolic enzyme. This model predicts that GAPDH inhibition by the monoHAAs will lead to a severe ...... hiện toàn bộ
Mutations induced by (−)‐anti‐11R,12S‐dihydrodiol 13S,14R‐epoxide of dibenzo[a,l]pyrene in the coding region of the hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (Hprt) gene in Chinese hamster V79 cellsEnvironmental and Molecular Mutagenesis - Tập 41 Số 2 - Trang 131-139 - 2003

AbstractThe polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon dibenzo[a,l]pyrene (DB[a,l]P) is an exceptionally potent carcinogen. Its direct DNA‐reactive metabolite, the fjord region (−)‐anti‐11R,12S‐dihydrodiol 13S,14... hiện toàn bộ
Chromosome aberration and sister chromatid exchange tests in chinese hamster ovary cells in vitro: II. Results with 20 chemicalsEnvironmental and Molecular Mutagenesis - Tập 13 Số 1 - Trang 60-94 - 1989
Kenneth S. Loveday, M. H. Lugo, Michael A. Resnick, Beth Anderson, Errol Zeiger
AbstractTwenty chemicals were tested for their ability to induce sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) and chromosomal aberrations (ABs) in cultured Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO). These chemicals were tested with and without an added metabolic activation system (rat liver S9 fraction). Four chemicals were negative in both assays, 1 induced ABs only, and 15 were pos...... hiện toàn bộ
Cytogenetic analyses of mice exposed to dichloromethaneEnvironmental and Molecular Mutagenesis - Tập 15 Số 4 - Trang 221-228 - 1990
James W. Allen, Andrew D. Kligerman, James A. Campbell, Barbara Westbrook‐Collins, Gregory L. Erexson, Frank W. Kari, Errol Zeiger
AbstractChromosome damage was studied in female B6C3F1 mice exposed to dichloromethane (DCM) by subcutaneous or inhalation treatments. No increase in the frequency of either sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) or chromosome aberrations (CAs) in bone marrow cells was observed after a single subcutaneous injection of 2,500 or 5,000 mg/kg DCM. Inhalation exposure to DCM...... hiện toàn bộ
Transgenic chinese hamster V79 cell lines which exhibit variable levels of gpt mutagenesisEnvironmental and Molecular Mutagenesis - Tập 16 Số 1 - Trang 1-12 - 1990
Catherine B. Klein, Toby G. Rossman, Thomas R. Skopek
AbstractThe Escherichia coli gpt gene coding for xanthine‐guanine phosphoribosyl transferase has been stably transfected into HPRT− Chinese hamster V79 cells. Several gpt− cell lines have been established, which retain the sequence(s) even afte...... hiện toàn bộ
Quercetin reduces chromosome aberrations induced by atrazine in the Allium cepa testEnvironmental and Molecular Mutagenesis - Tập 47 Số 4 - Trang 254-259 - 2006

AbstractQuercetin is a widely distributed plant flavonoid possessing a variety of chemical and biological activities, including chelation, free‐radical scavenging, and antioxidant activity. Atrazine is a selective triazine herbicide that has been the subject of an international revision program for human and ecological health risks because of its persistence in the...... hiện toàn bộ
DNA damage in Pakistani agricultural workers exposed to mixture of pesticidesEnvironmental and Molecular Mutagenesis - Tập 50 Số 1 - Trang 37-45 - 2009
Javed A. Bhalli, Tayyaba Ali, Muhammad Rafiq Asi, Zafar M. Khalid, Marcello Ceppi, Qaiser M. Khan
AbstractA cross‐sectional study was designed to determine whether occupational exposure to a complex mixture of pesticides results in a significant increase of DNA damage in farmers chronically exposed to pesticides in open fields. Leukocytes from 47 agriculture workers exposed to pesticides and 50 controls were evaluated with comet assay. Workers recruitment was b...... hiện toàn bộ
Detection of ghost cells in the standard alkaline comet assay is not a good measure of apoptosisEnvironmental and Molecular Mutagenesis - Tập 41 Số 4 - Trang 260-269 - 2003
Sophie Meintières, Fabrice Nesslany, Marc Pallardy, Francesca Marcon
AbstractThe single cell gel electrophoresis assay, or Comet assay, is a powerful tool for measurement of DNA strands breaks, oxidative damage, and alkali labile sites, and the assay was recently modified to detect DNA cross‐links. It has also been proposed as a measure of apoptosis since apoptotic cells are suspected to result in total migration of the DNA from the...... hiện toàn bộ
