Journal Article
Cytotoxic and genotoxic effects of areca nut-related compounds in cultured human buccal epithelial cells.
TL;DR: Comparisons of the areca nut-related N-nitroso compounds and their precursor alkaloids indicate that 3-(N-nitrosomethylamino)propionaldehyde is the most potent on a molar basis to decrease both survival and thiol content and to cause significant formation of DNA single strand breaks.
Journal Article
Pathobiological Effects of Acrolein in Cultured Human Bronchial Epithelial Cells
Roland C. Grafström,Jeannette M. Dypbukt,James C. Willey,K. Sundqvist,Charlotte C. Edman,Luigi Atzori,Curtis C. Harris +6 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that acrolein causes several cytopathic effects that relate to multistage carcinogenesis in the human bronchial epithelium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cytotoxicity, thiol depletion and inhibition of O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase by various aldehydes in cultured human bronchial fibroblasts.
TL;DR: The results indicate that reactive aldehydes of either exogenous or endogenous origin have direct cytotoxic effects and may also make cells more susceptible to other toxic chemicals due to an impairment in cellular defense mechanisms, e.g., DNA repair and detoxification by systems requiring glutathione.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pathobiological effects of acetaldehyde in cultured human epithelial cells and fibroblasts
Roland C. Grafström,Jeannette M. Dypbukt,K. Sundqvist,Luigi Atzori,Inge Nielsen,Rodger D. Curren,Curtis C. Harris +6 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that mM concentrations of acetaldehyde cause a wide range of cytopathic effects associated with multistep carcinogenesis, and the fact that acetaldehyde causes comparatively higher genotoxicity and inhibits DNA repair more readily than other major aldehydes in tobacco smoke and automotive emissions is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth-associated modifications of low-molecular-weight thiols and protein sulfhydryls in human bronchial fibroblasts.
Luigi Atzori,Jeannette M. Dypbukt,K. Sundqvist,Ian A. Cotgreave,Charlotte C. Edman,Peter Moldéus,Roland C. Grafström +6 more
TL;DR: The results strongly suggest that specific fluctuations in the cellular redox balance of both free low‐molecular‐weight thiols and protein sulfhydryls are involved in growth regulation of normal human fibroblasts.
