A method for the determination of benzo[]pyrene in foods was developed by ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) based on isotope dilution and molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction (MIP-SPE). The target analyte in samples was extracted with -hexane after spiked with benzo[]pyrene-d, and purified using MIP-SPE to eliminate most of the coextracts. The separation of benzo[]pyrene was carried out on an XBridge BEH C column with gradient elution of methanol and water. An atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) interface was used as the ion source and the analysis was performed in the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. Benzo[]pyrene levels in the range of 0.07-50 μg/kg were measured accurately by this method, and the limit of quantification (LOQ) was 0.07 μg/kg. The average recoveries were between 86% and 104% with the relative standard deviations within 2.3%-14%. The method was sensitive and accurate, and it has been successfully applied to the measurement of benzo[]pyrene in food samples.

Considering the urgent need for the analysis of trace-level pollutants in water samples, the pre-concentration of micropollutants in water samples has been the focus of extensive research. Among current pretreatment methods, the solid phase extraction (SPE) technique has received enormous attention because of its low cost, ease of operation and high efficiency. In this work, a new adsorbent (FeO@Au@DTC NPs) was acquired through modification of FeO nanoparticles (NPs) with gold (Au) and dithiocarbamate (DTC).

Background: Gene expression changes induced by carcinogens may identify differences in molecular function between target and non-target organs. Target organs for benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) carcinogenicity in mice (lung, spleen and forestomach) and three non-target organs (liver, colon and glandular stomach) were investigated for DNA adducts by 32P-postlabelling, for gene expression changes by cDNA microarray and for miRNA expression changes by miRNA microarray after exposure of animals to BaP.
Results: BaP-DNA adduct formation occurred in all six organs at levels that did not distinguish between target and non-target.

Objective: The purpose of the study was twofold: 1) to search for potential biomarkers that were overexpressed in cell lines that could represent both a clinical premalignant (immortalized) and a malignant state, and 2) to attempt to correlate metallothionein gene expression with clinical outcome in laryngeal carcinoma.
Study Design: A series of in vitro experiments were used to unearth differentially expressed genes among normal, immortalized and tumorigenic cell lines. Secondarily, a retrospective analysis was undertaken.

Objective: To clone differentially expressed cDNA sequences involved in malignant transformation induced by benzo(a)pyrene metabolite dihydroxyepoxy benzo pyrene (BPDE).
Method: The malignant transformation of human bronchial epithelial cell line 16HBE induced by BPDE in vitro was used as a model for comparing gene expression between the transformed cells and controls. cDNA representational difference analysis (cDNA-RDA) was performed to isolate differentially expressed cDNA fragment in transformed cells.
