Organ distinctive mutagenicity in MutaTMMouse after short-term exposure to PhIP [PDF]
We have investigated PhIP-induced mutagenicity in various tissues (kidney, liver, large and small intestine) using a transgenic mouse model (MutaMouse). In addition to tissue specific mutagenesis, we measured the binding of [14C]PhIP to MutaMouse mice blood proteins (haemoglobin and albumin), to obtain a quantitative estimate of carcinogen exposure and

Induction of lacZ mutations in Muta™Mouse primary hepatocytes [PDF]
AbstractWe have developed an in vitro mutation assay using primary hepatocytes from the transgenic Muta™Mouse. Primary hepatocytes were isolated using a two‐step perfusion method with purification by Percoll, cultured, and treated with benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), 2‐amino‐1‐methyl‐6‐phenyl‐ imidazo[4,5‐b]pyridine (PhIP), 3‐nitrobenzoanthrone (3‐NBA), and ...

The application of the restriction site mutation assay to compare 1-ethyl-1-nitrosourea-induced mutations between the endogenous p53 gene and the transgenic LacZ gene in MutaMouse testes [PDF]
Transgenic mouse modelling has provided a new approach to study the various steps involved in spontaneous and induced mutagenesis in rodent somatic and germline tissues in vivo. However, the important question arises as to whether mutations occur at the same rate in transgenes as in endogenous genes.

The role of cytochrome P450 enzymes in carcinogen activation and detoxication:an in vivo-in vitro paradox [PDF]
Many chemical carcinogens require metabolic activation via xenobiotic-metabolising enzymes in order to exert their genotoxic effects. Evidence from numerous in-vitro studies, utilising reconstituted systems, microsomal fractions and cultured cells ...

Transcriptional profiling of the mouse hippocampus supports an NMDAR-mediated neurotoxic mode of action for benzo[a]pyrene [PDF]
Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) is a genotoxic carcinogen and a neurotoxicant. The neurotoxicity of BaP is proposed to arise from either genotoxicity leading to neuronal cell death, or perturbed expression of N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) subunits.

Integration of In Vivo Genotoxicity and Short-term Carcinogenicity Assays Using F344 gpt Delta Transgenic Rats: In Vivo Mutagenicity of 2,4-Diaminotoluene and 2,6-Diaminotoluene Structural Isomers [PDF]
An important trend in current toxicology is the replacement, reduction, and refinement of the use of experimental animals (the 3R principle). We propose a model in which in vivo genotoxicity and short-term carcinogenicity assays are integrated with F344 ...

Human Primordial Germ Cell Formation Is Diminished by Exposure to Environmental Toxicants Acting through the AHR Signaling Pathway [PDF]
Historically, effects of environmental toxicants on human development have been deduced via epidemiological studies because direct experimental analysis has not been possible.

Carbon black nanoparticle instillation induces sustained inflammation and genotoxicity in mouse lung and liver [PDF]
Background Widespread occupational exposure to carbon black nanoparticles (CBNPs) raises concerns over their safety. CBNPs are genotoxic in vitro but less is known about their genotoxicity in various organs in vivo.
