Benzo [a] pyrene (B[a]P) is a potent mutagen and carcinogen, considered one of the commonest concomitants in the environment. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of catechin hydrate on benzo pyrene-induced kidney toxicity. Thirty-six adult male albino rats were divided into six groups: group I untreated control, group II received 10 mL/kg of corn oil (solvent of benzo [a] pyrene) twice a week, group III received 1 mL/kg 0.

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.

The malignant transformation of human bronchial epithelial cell 16HBE induced by benzo (a) pyrene metabolite--dihydroxyepoxy benzo pyrene (BPDE) was studied. 16HBE cells were treated several times with BPDE at different concentrations in vitro. The identification on the malignancy of transformed 16HBE cells was investigated.

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.

V79 Chinese hamster cells genetically engineered for stable expression of rat and human CYP have been shown to serve as analytical tools for studying metabolism related problems in toxicology and pharmacology. Here, the application of rat and human CYP1A1 and CYP1A2 is demonstrated for comparative studies on the oxidation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, such as phenanthrene, benz[a]anthracene, and benzo[a]pyrene. Live cells were cultivated for 2 days in the presence of these chemicals.
