Abstract
Benzo(a)pyrene (BaP), a carcinogenic component of cigarette smoke, has been reported to activate extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) in cancer cells. Furthermore, activated ERK is associated with liver cancer cell invasion and metastasis. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the potential role of phosphorylated (p)-ERK in BaP-induced Hep-G2 cell migration and invasion. An MTT assay was used to determine the effects of BaP treatment on Hep-G2 cell proliferation. Wound-healing and Transwell invasion assays were employed to assess the migration and invasion abilities of Hep-G2 cells. Western blot analysis was applied to detect the expression of proteins. The results of the present study demonstrated that BaP treatment was able to increase the level of p-ERK protein expression in Hep-G2 cells. BaP treatment promoted Hep-G2 cell migration and invasion. The ERK inhibitor, U0126, was able to block the migration and invasion abilities of Hep-G2 cells induced by BaP. The results of the present study demonstrated that BaP treatment promoted the migration and invasion of Hep-G2 cells by upregulating p-ERK expression.

Abstract
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a group of chemicals that are formed during the incomplete burning of coal, oil, gas, wood, garbage, or other organic substances, such as tobacco and charbroiled meat. There are more than 100 PAHs. PAHs generally occur as complex mixtures (for example, as part of products such as soot), not as single compounds. PAHs are found throughout the environment in the air, water, and soil. As part of its mandate, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) prepares toxicological profiles on hazardous chemicals, including PAHs (ATSDR, 1995), found at facilities on the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) National Priorities List (NPL) and which pose the most significant potential threat to human health, as determined by ATSDR and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). These profiles include information on health effects of chemicals from different routes and durations of exposure, their potential for exposure, regulations and advisories, and the adequacy of the existing database. Assessing the health effects of PAHs is a major challenge because environmental exposures to these chemicals are usually to complex mixtures of PAHs with other chemicals. The biological consequences of human exposure to mixtures of PAHs depend on the toxicity, carcinogenic and noncarcinogenic, of the individual components of the mixture, the types of interactions among them, and confounding factors that are not thoroughly understood. Also identified are components of exposure and health effects research needed on PAHs that will allow estimation of realistic human health risks posed by exposures to PAHs. The exposure assessment component of research should focus on (1) development of reliable analytical methods for the determination of bioavailable PAHs following ingestion, (2) estimation of bioavailable PAHs from environmental media, particularly the determination of particle-bound PAHs, (3) data on ambient levels of PAHs metabolites in tissues/fluids of control populations, and (4) the need for a critical evaluation of current levels of PAHs found in environmental media including data from hazardous waste sites. The health effects component should focus on obtaining information on (1) the health effects of mixtures of PAHs particularly their noncarcinogenic effects in humans, and (2) their toxicokinetics. This report provides excerpts from the toxicological profile of PAHs (ATSDR, 1995) that contains more detailed information.

Abstract
Cyclophosphamide (CP) is used to treat a wide range of neoplastic diseases as well as some non-malignant ones such as rheumatoid arthritis. It is also used as an immunosuppressive agent prior to organ transplantation. CP is, however, a known carcinogen in humans and produces secondary tumors. There is little absorption either orally or intravenously and 10% of the drug is excreted unchanged. CP is activated by hepatic mixed function oxidases and metabolites are delivered to neoplastic cells via the bloodstream. Phosphoramide mustard is thought to be the major anti-neoplastic metabolite of CP while acrolein, which is highly toxic and is produced in equimolar amounts, is thought to be responsible for most of the toxic side effects. DNA adducts have been formed after CP treatment in a variety of in vitro systems as well as in rats and mice using 3H-labeled CP. 32P-postlabeling techniques have also been used in mice. However, monitoring of adducts in humans has not yet been carried out. CP has also been shown to induce unscheduled DNA synthesis in a human cell line. CP has produced mutations in base-pair substituting strains of Salmonella tryphimurium in the presence of metabolic activation, but it has been shown to be negative in the E. coli chromotest. It has also been shown to be positive in Saccharomyces cerevisiae in D7 strain for many endpoints but negative in D62.M for aneuploidy/malsegregation. It has produced positive responses in Drosophila melanogaster for various endpoints and in Anopheles stephensi. In somatic cells, CP has been shown to produce gene mutations, chromosome aberrations, micronuclei and sister chromatid exchanges in a variety of cultured cells in the presence of metabolic activation as well as sister chromatid exchanges without metabolic activation. It has also produced chromosome damage and micronuclei in rats, mice and Chinese hamsters, and gene mutations in the mouse spot test and in the transgenic lacZ construct of Muta Mouse. Increases in chromosome damage and gene mutations have been found in the peripheral blood lymphocytes of nurses, pharmacists and female workers occupationally exposured to CP during its production or distribution. Chromosome aberrations, sister chromatid exchanges and gene mutations have been observed in somatic cells of patients treated therapeutically with CP. In general, there is a maximum dose and an optimum time for the detection of genetic effects because the toxicity associated with high doses of CP will affect cell division. In germ cells, CP has been shown to induce genetic damage in mice, rats and hamsters although the vast majority of such studies have used male mice.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
This paper reviews the ability of a number of chemicals to induce sister-chromatid exchanges (SCEs). The SCE data for animal cells in vivo and in vitro, and human cells in vitro are presented in 6 tables according to their relative effectiveness. A seventh table summarizes what is known about the effects of specific chemicals on SCEs for humans exposed in vivo. The data support the concept that SCEs provide a useful indication of exposure, although the mechanism and biological significance of SCE formation still remain to be elucidated.

Abstract
Metabolism of the anticancer agent crisnatol was investigated using a human hepatoma cell line, Hep G2, and human liver microsomes. Crisnatol was metabolized extensively by both systems. The TLC/autoradiographic analysis showed that the crisnatol metabolite profile was similar for both systems and the major metabolites were shown to have structural characteristics similar to those formed by the rat. The Hep G2 cells formed three isomeric dihydrodiols; one of these has been identified by GC/MS and 1H-NMR as the crisnatol 1,2-dihydrodiol. Human liver microsomes also formed two isomeric dihydrodiols with 1,2-dihydrodiol as the major isomer and, in addition, produced 1-hydroxycrisnatol. Crisnatol concentrations of 1.3 micrograms/mL completely inhibited the replication of Hep G2 cells as measured by thymidine incorporation and cell growth kinetics and, at this concentration, cell viability decreased by only 35% as determined by vital staining of cells using neutral red dye.

Abstract
1. The activities of several drug-metabolizing enzymes change during the growth cycle (exponential growth to confluence) of Hep G2 cells in culture. As the rate of cell growth slowed down (days 7 to 10 after passage) the activities of ethoxy- and methoxy-resorufin O-dealkylase and of NADPH cytochrome c- and NADH cytochrome b5-reductase increased. In contrast, the O-dealkylations of pentoxy- and benzyloxy-resorufin did not change significantly during culture. 2. UDP-glucuronyltransferase activities also showed substrate-dependent alterations with time in culture. In contrast, glutathione-S-transferase activity remained constant despite a decline in the intracellular reduced glutathione content. 3. Epoxide hydrolase activity altered throughout time in culture, with an initial decrease in activity followed by a marked increase between days 7 and 10 after passage. 4. These results indicate the importance of standardizing the protocol with regard to the timing of experiments within the growth period of the cells when using hepatoma cell lines for assessing the metabolism and cytotoxicity of chemicals.

Abstract
The human epithelial FL cell line contains low levels of constitutive ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase, ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase and aminopyrine N-demethylase activities, of which ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase could be induced by norepinephrine, beta-naphthoflavone and 3-methylcholanthrene, but ethoxy-couarin O-deethylase and aminopyrine N-demethylase activities could be induced by norepinephrine, beta-naphthoflavone and 3-methylcholanthrene as well as phenobarbital. Inducibility of ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase, ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase and aminopyrine N-demethylase activities was 3.1-6.7-, 1.8-3.1- and 1.4-2.0-fold respectively. Co-treatment with 3-methylcholanthrene and norepinephrine resulted in higher ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase and aminopyrine N-demethylase activities than treatment with 3-methylcholanthrene alone. The induced ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase and ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase activities remained at a high level for 24-36 h after removal of the inducer from the medium. The metabolizing ability of induced FL cells is stronger than that of non-induced ones in a given time following induction. The results further confirm that it is feasible to use the cytochrome P450 isozyme-induced FL cell as a biological indicator in short-term tests for screening promutagens/procarcinogens.

Abstract
When grown in the standard Dulbecco's medium the human liver derived Hep G2 hepatoma cell line shows only 10-20% of the cytochrome P-450-dependent mixed function oxidase (MFO) activity of freshly isolated human adult hepatocytes. However, the MFO activities and, to a lesser extent, the activities of UDP-glucuronyltransferase and glutathione-S-transferase can be increased by altering the composition of the growth medium. Modified Earle's medium was more effective in this respect than Williams' E medium and increased the O-dealkylations of ethoxyresorufin, benzyloxyresorufin and pentoxyresorufin 50-, 30- and 10-fold, respectively.

Abstract
In cultured human hepatoma cells phenolphthalein glucuronidation was increased 3-fold by 2 mM phenobarbitone (PB) in the culture medium but not by 25 microM benz(a)anthracene (BA), while 1-naphthol glucuronidation was not increased by either PB or BA. Ethoxyresorufin O-deethylation (EROD) was increased 15-fold by BA but not by PB, while the O-dealkylations of pentoxyresorufin (PROD) and benzyloxyresorufin (BROD) were increased by either PB or BA. The BROD activity increased by BA was sensitive to inhibition by alpha-naphthoflavone whereas that induced by PB was not. This suggests induction of different cytochrome P-450 isoenzymes. Control Hep G2 cells had similar glucuronide conjugation and cytochrome reductase activities to freshly isolated human adult hepatocytes, but had lower O-dealkylation and elevated microsomal epoxide hydrolase activities.

Abstract
We have extended the characterization of the P3 cell line, derived from a human epithelial teratocarcinoma, by studying the induction of sister-chromatid exchanges (SCEs) by direct and indirect carcinogens. Several direct acting carcinogens produce a dose-dependent increase in SCEs. Most notably, N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine and 7 beta,8 alpha-dihydroxy-9 alpha,10 alpha-epoxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene produce increases in SCEs at doses comparable to those used to induce mutations at the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase locus. The indirect carcinogens elicit SCEs only when the P3 cells are cocultured with cells capable of metabolizing the indirect carcinogens to the active form. Human breast carcinoma (BJ-015) and rat hepatoma (RL-12) cells are equally efficient in activating polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons to the active form. This cell-mediated induction of SCEs is obtained when the P3 cells are incubated with live, X-irradiated, or UV-irradiated BJ or RL cells. This P3 cell line is thus equally suitable to study the induction of mutations or the induction of SCEs with direct and indirect carcinogens.

Abstract
Arachidonic acid (AA), a prostaglandin precursor, significantly potentiated sister-chromatid exchange (SCE) induction in vitro by benzo[a]pyrene (BP) and 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) in the aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH)-inducible human hepatoma C-HC-4 cells, and to a lesser extent in the non-inducible rat tumor AH66-B and R1 and Chinese hamster Don-6 cells, all of which were less sensitive to these compounds than C-HC-4 cells. Indomethacin (IM), an inhibitor of prostaglandin endoperoxide synthetase (PES), moderately suppressed SCE induction by BP or DMBA in AH66-B and R1 cells, but it exerted no such effect in C-HC-4 and Don-6 cells. In C-HC-4 cells, however, IM completely eliminated the potentiating effect of AA on SCE induction by both BP and DMBA. The above findings suggest that PES in prostaglandin biosynthesis may also be involved in the metabolic activation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons to genotoxic forms capable of inducing SCEs, in addition to AHH system.

Abstract
A cell line derived from a Morris hepatoma, MH1C1, was examined for its in vitro expression of monooxygenases. These cells were found to contain different forms of cytochrome P450, as shown by the response to inducers, namely phenobarbital (PB), 3-methylcholanthrene (MC) and metyrapone (MP). MH1C1 cell monolayers exposed to PB or MC showed an increase in the concentration of two spectrally distinct forms of cytochrome P450. The PB and MC treatments elicited enzyme activities towards the substrates aminopyrine and benzo(a)pyrene, respectively. The cell treatment with metyrapone led to a simultaneous stimulation of aminopyrine demethylase and benzo(a)pyrene hydroxylase activities, so underlining the peculiar features of this inducer.

Abstract
Sister chromatid exchange (SCE) analysis in a total of 20 cultured mammalian cell lines of various types exposed to a variety of indirect mutagens/carcinogens suggested that, among these, several human and rat tumor cell lines are intrinsically capable of metabolizing a wide range of mutagens/carcinogens into genotoxic forms to induce SCEs. These cells may therefore serve as simple in vitro SCE test systems for screening of activation-dependent genotoxins without the use of an exogenous activating system. In addition, a comparison of the relevant metabolizing enzyme activity and inducibility of SCEs by mutagens/carcinogens in such cell systems appears to provide clues about the metabolic pathways related to SCE induction. Based on our own data and those in the literature, practical and theoretical advantages of the use of a direct-activating SCE test system in genetic toxicology are discussed.

Abstract
The sister chromatid exchange (SCE) induction of mutagens with different mechanisms of action was comparatively investigated on permanent cell lines of the Chinese hamster (CHO, V-79, and DON) with and without exogenous metabolic activation and with the use of various experimental protocols. CHO and V-79 cells were treated with ethylmethanesulfonate (EMS), a direct mutagen; with the two indirect mutagens cyclophosphamide (CP) and benzo[a]pyrene (BP); as well as with the radical former hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and hydroxyurea (HU), an inhibitor of DNA synthesis. Aside from an increased basal SCE level and a higher bromodeoxyuridine (BrdUrd) sensitivity, there was no decisive difference between CHO and V-79 cells. However, there was a distinct relationship between SCE induction and the experimental protocol used, which was most pronounced after HU treatment. Neither cell line was able to metabolize the indirect mutagen BP. Only in CHO cells did CP lead to increased SCE frequencies. However, in all cases, the simultaneous application of S9 mix produced a distinct SCE induction. In contrast, BP caused SCE induction in DON cells, whereas CP was not metabolized. The reason for these findings must obviously be sought in the metabolization of CP and BP via different monooxygenase systems, whose activity can differ in these permanent cell lines. One notable finding was that the number of SCE induced by H2O2 could be distinctly reduced by the simultaneous application of S9 mix. This effect can be explained by the fact that S9 mix contains H2O2-degrading enzymes. The results indicate that closely related cell lines differ in their capability for inducing SCE and that investigations of SCE inductions performed on only one cell line do not necessarily produce a representative response.
