The MCL-5 cell line was established from human lymphoblastoid TK+/- cells transfected with cDNAs of human cytochrome P450s (CYP1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2E1, and CYP3A4) and microsomal epoxide hydrolase. The TK+/- cells constitutively express a relatively high level of endogenous CYP1A1. To study metabolic activities to indirect-acting clastogens, MCL-5 cells were treated with four clastogens, i.e. aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), diethylnitrosamine (DEN), cyclophosphamide (CPA), and 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA). Human lymphocytes from peripheral blood were used as control cells under the assay conditions with or without induced rat liver metabolic activation (S9). All chemicals tested without S9 induced chromosomal aberrations (CA) in MCL-5 cells but not in human lymphocytes. All chemicals induced CA in both cell types in the presence of S9.

To quantitatively evaluate the inhibition of human DNA repair proteins APE1 and MTH1 by dextran-coated γ-FeO ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (dUSPIONs). : Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry with isotope-dilution was used to measure the expression levels of APE1 and MTH1 in MCL-5 cells exposed to increasing doses of dUSPIONs. The expression levels of APE1 and MTH1 were measured in cytoplasmic and nuclear fractions of cell extracts.

Design of innovative adjuvant strategies with an appropriate safety profile is relevant to developed subunit or inactivated microorganism vaccines for bovine mastitis. Minthostachys verticillata essential oil (EO) has demonstrated ability to stimulate the innate immune response and adjuvant effect similar to Al(OH). Here we evaluated the adjuvant effect of EO and its metabolite, limonene (L) alone and microencapsulated by spray-drying, using an inactivated Enterococcus faecium strain bovine-mastitis inducer.

In vitro genotoxicity studies are a quick and high throughput approach to assess the genotoxic potential of chemicals; however, the reliability of these tests and their relevance to in vivo effects depends on the choice of representative cell line and optimisation of assay conditions. For chemicals like urethane that require specific metabolic activation to cause genotoxicity, it is important that in vitro tests are conducted using cell lines exhibiting the activity and induction of CYP450 enzymes, including CYP2E1 enzyme that is important in the metabolism of urethane, at a concentration representing actual or perceived chemical exposure. We compared 2D MCL-5 cells and HepG2 cells with 3D HepG2 hanging drop spheroids to determine the genotoxicity of urethane using the micronucleus assay.

Genotoxicity testing methods in vitro provide a means to predict the DNA damaging effects of chemicals on human cells. This is hindered in the case of hydrophobic test compounds, however, which will partition to in vitro components such as plastic-ware and medium proteins, in preference to the aqueous phase of the exposure medium. This affects the freely available test chemical concentration, and as this freely dissolved aqueous concentration is that bioavailable to cells, it is important to define and maintain this exposure.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are widely distributed in the environment and have potent mutagenic and carcinogenic activities. Studies of mutations induced by these compounds in human cells can help acquire an understanding of their mutagenic pathways. In this chapter, independent cultures of a human cell line expressing cytochrome P450 CYP1A1 (cell line MCL-5) were treated with benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) or dibenzo(a,l)pyrene (DBP), and mutants at the hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) locus were selected en masse by 6-thioguanine resistance (6TG).
