The aim of this work is to study alterations in peroxiredoxin （Prx） expression induced by NNK during carcinogenesis. Characterization of Prx genes from hamster was performed using bioinformatics.展开更多

Inactivation cross sections corresponding to the irradiation above were deduced from the V79 cell survival curves. They are 7.86±0.17, 10.44±1.11 and 32.32±3.58 μm2 in turn. With the surviving response of V79 cells to 60Co γ-rays as a reference value, relative biological effectiveness at 10%, 20%, 50% and 80% survival levels were given for the accelerated carbon ions. The results showed that carbon ions with LET of 125.5 keV/μm had a higher value of RBE at all the four survival levels than the carbon ions with other LETs. It was prompted that the maximum value of RBE for the V79 cell surviving as the biological endpoint emerged at the LET below 200 keV/μm for carbon ions.展开更多

The cytotoxic effect of trans 7,8 dihydrbenzo(a)pyrene (BP 7,8 diol) on the parental cells V79 and V79 derived XEM2 cells were evaluated by two methods for cell viability. The data obtained expressed that BP 7,8 diol ranging from 1.0 μmol·L 1 to 5.0 μmol·L 1 in concentrations incubated for 24 h showed a strong cytotoxic effect in XEM2 cells (expressing rat cytochrome P4501A1) in a concentration dependent manner. Time dependent decrease for survival of XEM2 cells was also observed at 2.5 μmol·L 1 concentration. Likewise, BP 7,8 diol did not alter the survival of the parental cells V79 under the same condition. This study also showed that α naphthoflavone (αNF), a well known inhibitor of cytochrome P4501A1 might alter BP 7,8 diol induced cytotoxicity in the XEM2 cells. Our results suggested that cytochrome P4501A1 is responsible for BP 7, 8 diol induced cytotoxicity.展开更多
