Journal ArticleDOI
Microcystin-LR induces oxidative DNA damage in human hepatoma cell line HepG2.
TL;DR: It is concluded that M CLR induces formation of reactive oxygen species that cause DNA damage, and that MCLR may act as an initiator of liver cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
DNA damage and alterations in expression of DNA damage responsive genes induced by TiO2 nanoparticles in human hepatoma HepG2 cells.
Jana Petković,Bojana Žegura,Magdalena Stevanović,Nataša Drnovšek,Dragan Uskoković,Saša Novak,Metka Filipič +6 more
TL;DR: The observed differences in responses of HepG2 cells to exposure to anatase and rutile TiO2 nanoparticles support the evidence that the toxic potential of TiO1 nanoparticles varies not only with particle size but also with crystalline structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protective effect of linalool, myrcene and eucalyptol against t-butyl hydroperoxide induced genotoxicity in bacteria and cultured human cells
Dragana Mitić-Ćulafić,Bojana Žegura,Biljana Nikolić,Branka Vuković-Gačić,Jelena Knežević-Vukčević,Metka Filipič +5 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that linalool, eucalyptol and myrcene have substantial protective effect against oxidant induced genotoxicity, which is predominately mediated by their radical scavenging activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical and toxicological characterisation of anticancer drugs in hospital and municipal wastewaters from Slovenia and Spain.
Marina Isidori,Margherita Lavorgna,Chiara Russo,Michael Kundi,Bojana Žegura,Matjaž Novak,Metka Filipič,Miroslav Mišík,Siegfried Knasmueller,Miren López de Alda,Damià Barceló,Božo Žonja,Marjeta Česen,Janez Ščančar,Tina Kosjek,Ester Heath +15 more
TL;DR: Correlations of chemotherapeutics or their TPs were detected for all bioassays except for Allium cepa genotoxicity test, however for each test the highest correlations were found for different substances indicating differential sensitivities of the test organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mutagenicity and DNA Damage of Bisphenol a and its Structural Analogues in Hepg2 Cells
TL;DR: None of the tested bisphenols showed a mutagenic effect in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98 and TA100 in either the presence or absence of external S9-mediated metabolic activation (Aroclor 1254-induced male rat liver).
