Book ChapterDOI

Use of Mechanistic Information for Adequate Metabolic Design of Genotoxicity Studies and Toxicological Interactions of Drugs and Environmental Chemicals

TL;DR: Microorganisms as well as mammalian cells used for mutagenicity investigations have little or no activities for metabolism of premutagens and precarcinogens, i.e. of compounds ultimately leading to mutations and cancer but first requiring metabolic activation, and an exogenous activating system is added.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Stereoisomeric Fjord-Region Benzo[c]phenanthrene-3,4-Dihydrodiol 1,2-Oxides Malignantly Transform Rat Liver Epithelial Cells

TL;DR: Experimental evidence is presented that proliferation plays a central role in liver cell transformation mediated by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and the fjord-region dihydrodiol epoxides of benzo[c]phenanthrene are able to efficiently transform rat liver cells.
Book ChapterDOI

Investigating the role of the microsomal epoxide hydrolase membrane topology and its implication for drug metabolism pathways.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the amino-terminal twenty amino acid residues of this protein serve as its single membrane anchor signal sequence and that the function of this sequence can be also supplied by a cytochrome P450 (CYP2B1) anchor signal sequences.
Book ChapterDOI

Epoxide hydratase and its membrane environment

TL;DR: Experiments with ferritin labelled antibodies showed that epoxide hydr atase was accessible from outside the membrane, and that hydratase in outer nuclear membranes was immunologically cross reactive with that of endoplasmic reticulum.
Journal ArticleDOI

Morphological, Biochemical, and Molecular Biological Characterization of a Rat Rhabdomyosarcoma Cell Line during Differentiation Induction In Vitro

TL;DR: BA-HAN-1C is a clonal rat rhabdomyosarcoma cell line consisting of proliferating mononuclear tumor cells, some of which spontaneously fuse to form terminally differentiated postmitotic myotubelike giant cells which resulted in an inhibition of proliferation and a marked increase in cellular differentiation.
