Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) derivatives constitute a significant class of emerging contaminants that have been ubiquitously detected in diverse environmental matrixes, with some even exhibiting higher toxicities than their corresponding parent PAHs. To date, compared with parent PAHs, fewer systematic summaries and reanalyses are available for PAH derivatives with great environmental concerns. This review summarizes the current knowledge on the chemical species, levels, biotransformation patterns, chemical analytical methods, internal exposure routes with representative biomarkers, and toxicity of PAH derivatives, primarily focusing on nitrated PAHs (NPAHs), oxygenated PAHs (OPAHs), halogenated PAHs (XPAHs), and alkylated PAHs (APAHs). A collection of 188 compounds from four categories, 44 NPAHs, 36 OPAHs, 56 APAHs, and 52 XPAHs, has been compiled from 114 studies that documented the environmental presence of PAH derivatives. These compounds exhibited weighted average air concentrations that varied from a lower limit of 0.019 pg/m3 to a higher threshold of 4060 pg/m3. Different analytical methods utilizing comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography coupled with high-resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC × GC-TOF-MS), gas chromatography coupled to time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC-TOF-MS), comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography coupled to quadrupole mass spectrometry (GC × GC-QQQ-MS), and Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS), that adopted untargeted strategies for the identification of PAH derivatives are also reviewed here. Additionally, an in-depth analysis of biotransformation patterns for each category is provided, including the likelihood of specific biotransformation reaction types. For the toxicity, we primarily summarized key metabolic activation pathways, which could result in the formation of reactive metabolites capable of covalently bonding with DNA and tissue proteins, and potential health outcomes such as carcinogenicity and genotoxicity, oxidative stress, inflammation and immunotoxicity, and developmental toxicity that might be mediated by the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR). Finally, we pinpoint research challenges and emphasize the need for further studies on identifying PAH derivatives, tracking external exposure levels, evaluating internal exposure levels and associated toxicity, clarifying exposure routes, and considering mixture exposure effects. This review aims to provide a broad understanding of PAH derivatives' identification, environmental occurrence, human exposure, biotransformation, and toxicity, offering a valuable reference for guiding future research in this underexplored area.

Abstract
Diesel exhaust presents a community exposure hazard, but methods to measure internal exposure are lacking. We report results from a community-based study using 1-nitropyrene (1-NP) and its urinary metabolites as markers of exposure to traffic-related diesel particulate matter (DPM). The study participants were Tijuana, Mexico residents who commuted on foot into San Diego, California for work or school using the International San Ysidro Port of Entry, placing them within feet of idling traffic (referred to as border commuters). The comparison group (non-border commuters) was comprised of residents of south San Diego who did not commute into Mexico. Air concentration of 1-NP in fine particulate matter (PM2.5) was measured in personal samples from participants. Spot urine samples were analyzed for 1-NP urinary metabolites 8-hydroxy-1-nitropyrene (8-OHNP) and 8-hydroxy-N-acetyl-1-aminopyrene (8-OHNAAP). Compared with non-border commuters, border commuters had two- to threefold higher mean urinary concentrations for unadjusted and creatinine-adjusted 8-OHNP and 8-OHNAAP. Urinary 8-OHNAAP and the sum of 8-OHNP and 8-OHNAAP were both associated with personal exposure to 1-NP in the prior 24 h. These results suggest that 1-NP urinary metabolites reflect recent exposure to DPM-derived 1-NP in community settings and can be useful for exposure analysis.

Abstract
We investigated the toxicity of benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), 1-nitropyrene (1-NP) and 3-nitrobenzanthrone (3-NBA) in A549 cells. Cells were treated for 4 h and 24 h with: B[a]P (0.1 and 1 μM), 1-NP (1 and 10 μM) and 3-NBA (0.5 and 5 μM). Bulky DNA adducts, lipid peroxidation, DNA and protein oxidation and mRNA expression of CYP1A1, CYP1B1, NQO1, POR, AKR1C2 and COX2 were analyzed. Bulky DNA adducts were induced after both treatment periods; the effect of 1-NP was weak. 3-NBA induced high levels of bulky DNA adducts even after 4-h treatment, suggesting rapid metabolic activation. Oxidative DNA damage was not affected. 1-NP caused protein oxidation and weak induction of lipid peroxidation after 4-h incubation. 3-NBA induced lipid peroxidation after 24-h treatment. Unlike B[a]P, induction of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor, measured as mRNA expression levels of CYP1A1 and CYP1B1, was low after treatment with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) nitro-derivatives. All test compounds induced mRNA expression of NQO1, POR, and AKR1C2 after 24-h treatment. AKR1C2 expression indicates involvement of processes associated with reactive oxygen species generation. This was supported further by COX2 expression induced by 24-h treatment with 1-NP. In summary, 3-NBA was the most potent genotoxicant, whereas 1-NP exhibited the strongest oxidative properties.

Abstract
Oxidative stress produced by the dietary or chemical substrates is one of the major causes of liver cell injury. In this study, we compared the effects of two dietary antioxidants, α-tocopherol (α-T) and β-carotene (β-C) against tert-butyl hydroperxide (tBHP)-induced oxidative stress in human hepatoma HepG2 cells. Cell proliferation, lipid peroxidation (LPO), cellular lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), [3H]-aflatoxin B1(AFB1)-DNA adduct formation, and cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) expression were determined after antioxidants were added to the tBHP-stressed cells. When compared to an ethanol-based control, all biomarkers for the cell damage were significantly increased by treatments. Treatments of β-C or the combination of two antioxidants at 50 ppm for 48 h enhanced cell proliferation ( P < 0.05) compared to tBHP control. The antioxidative and cytoprotective actions of α-T and β-C, alone or in combination, were associated with modulation of microsomal CYP2E1 expression, corresponding to the regulation of LPO production ( P < 0.0001). Our results indicate that α-T and β-C may contribute differently to protection of cellular membrane disruption in CYP2E1-expressing HepG2 cells. Moreover, the combination of α-T and β-C appears to impel the greater protection of pathogenic processes of oxidative stress in liver.

Abstract
2-Amino-4,6-dinitrobenzoic acid (2-A-4,6-DNBA), 4-amino-2,6-dinitrobenzoic acid (4-A-2,6-DNBA), 2,4,6-trinitrobenzoic acid (2,4,6-TNBA), 2-amino-4, 6-dinitrobenzylalcohol (2-A-4,6-DNBAlc), 4-amino-2,6-dinitrobenzylalcohol (4-A-2,6-DNBAlc), 2,4-dinitrotoluol-5-sulfonic acid (2,4-DNT-5-SA), 2,4-dinitrotoluol-3-sulfonic acid (2,4-DNT-3-SA), and 2, 4-dinitrobenzoic acid (2,4-DNBA) are derivatives of nitro-explosives that have been detected in groundwater close to munitions facilities. In the present study, the genotoxicity of these compounds was evaluated in Salmonella/microsome assays (in strains TA100 and TA98, with and without S9 and in TA98NR without S9), in chromosomal aberration (CA) tests with Chinese hamster fibroblasts (V79), and in micronucleus (MN) assays with human hepatoma (HepG2) cells. All compounds except the sulfonic acids were positive in the bacterial mutagenicity tests, with 2,4,6-TNBA producing the strongest response (8023 revertants/micromol in TA98 without S9 activation). 2-A-4,6-DNBA was a direct acting mutagen in TA98, but negative in TA100. The other positive compounds were approximately 1-3 orders of magnitude less mutagenic than 2,4,6-TNBA in TA98 and in TA100; relatively strong effects ( approximately 50-400 revertants/micromol) were produced by the benzylacohols in the two indicator strains. With the exception of 2,4-DNBA, the mutagenic responses were lower in the nitroreductase-deficient strain TA98NR than in the parental strain. 2,4-DNBA produced a marginally positive response in the V79-cell CA assay; the other substances were devoid of activity. Only the benzoic acids were tested for MN induction in HepG2 cells, and all produced positive responses. As in the bacterial assays, the strongest effect was seen with 2,4,6-TNBA (significant induction at >or=1.9 microM). 4-A-2,6-DNBA was positive at 432 microM; the weakest effect was observed with 2,4,-DNBA (positive at >or=920 microM). The differences in the sensitivity of the indicator cells to these agents can be explained by differences in the activities of enzymes involved in the activation of the compounds. The strong responses produced by some of the compounds in the human-derived cells suggest that environmental exposure to these breakdown products of nitro-explosives may pose a cancer risk in man.

Abstract
The genotoxicity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and nitrated PAHs may be influenced by the interaction of the compounds. In this study, our data showed that benzo[a]pyrene (BaP)-DNA adduct levels were decreased in a dose-dependent manner when the human hepatoma cell line HepG2 simultaneously treated with BaP and 1-nitropyrene (1-NP). To further investigate the molecular mechanism by which 1-NP interferes with the covalent binding of BaP to DNA, we conducted experiments to analyze the mRNA level and protein stability of cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1), which is engaged in the activation of BaP, leading to the generation of BaP-DNA adducts. Northern blot analysis presented that 1-NP attenuated BaP-induced CYP1A1 mRNA expression by 30.4-39.6% (p < 0.05). Western blot analysis revealed that the co-treatment with BaP and 1-NP resulted in a significant inhibition of BaP-induced CYP1A1 protein expression (70.7-88.2%, p < 0.05). However, the decrease in CYP1A1 protein levels was significantly larger than that in CYP1A1 mRNA levels. To confirm the effect of 1-NP on the CYP1A1 protein expression, in vitro proteolysis of CYP1A1 protein was evaluated. The results demonstrated that the addition of 1-NP enhanced CYP1A1 protein degradation and the proteolysis of CYP1A1 protein was inhibited by the addition of an antioxidant, dithiothreitol. In addition, the relative levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were elevated in HepG2 cells co-treated with BaP and 1-NP, indicating that the decrease of CYP1A1 protein level was probably attributed to the production of ROS generated by binary mixture. Taken together, these findings suggested that the transcriptional suppression and posttranslational mechanism may be involved in loss of CYP1A1 protein, causing the decrease of BaP-DNA adduct levels in the presence of binary mixtures of 1-NP and BaP.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a class of environmental contaminants that has long been of interest in the fields of organic chemistry, theoretical chemistry, physical chemistry, environmental science, toxicology, cancer research, and energy sciences. Concerning environmental science and cancer research, majority of the research has focused on the occurrence, environmental fate, degradation/remediation, chemical transformation, genotoxicity, metabolism and metabolic activation, DNA adduct formation, mutagenesis, and carcinogenesis. Although many books and reviews on these subjects have been published, PAH photochemistry and phototoxicity have received much less attention. Therefore, it is intended for this article to provide an up-to-date source of photochemical reaction, photo-transformation, and phototoxicity of PAHs and their oxygenated, nitrated, halogenated, and amino substituted derivatives on a molecular basis. A perspective for future work is also discussed.

Abstract
Metabolic activation of 1-nitropyrene (1-NP) by human cytochrome P450 (P450) family 1 enzymes co-expressed with NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase (NPR) in Escherichia coli membranes was investigated. 1-NP induced umu gene expression in Salmonella typhimurium TA1535/pSK1002 in the absence of any P450 system, but the activities were influenced by the levels of bacterial O-acetyltransferase (OAT) and nitroreductase. Metabolic activation of 1-NP by human P450 1B1/NPR membranes was observed and was influenced by the levels of OAT levels in tester strains. Metabolic activation of 1-NP (0.3microM) by P450 1B1 was 750 umu units/min/nmol P450 1B1 in an OAT-overexpressing strain NM2009. The metabolic activation of 1-NP (3-30microM) was similar (approximately 300 umu units/min/nmol P450 1B1) using TA1535/pSK1002 or OAT-deficient strain NM2000. P450 1B1 had the highest catalytic activities among P450 family 1 enzymes for the activation of 1-aminopyrene (1-AP) in the OAT-overexpressing strain NM2009, suggesting nitrenium ion formation via N-hydroxylation/O-acetylation. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analyses revealed the formation of 1-nitropyrene-6-ol and also 1-nitropyrene-3-ol, 1-nitropyrene-8-ol, and trans-4,5-dihydroxy-4,5-diol-1-nitropyrene from 1-NP (10microM), catalyzed by P450 1B1. These results indicate that 1-NP can be activated by human P450 1B1 to a genotoxic agent by nitroreduction/O-acetylation at low substrate concentrations and probably by epoxidation (independent of OAT) at high concentrations.

Abstract
The genotoxicities of four samples of diesel exhaust particle (DEP) extracts (DEPE) and nine nitroarenes found in DEPE were investigated after activation catalyzed by human cytochrome P450 (P450) family 1 enzymes co-expressed with NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase (NPR) in Escherichia coli membranes. The DEPE samples induced umu gene expression in Salmonella typhimurium TA1535/pSK1002 without any P450 system and were further activated by human P450 1B1/NPR membranes. Moderate activation of the DEPE sample by P450 1A2/NPR membranes was also observed, but not by either P450 1A1/NPR or NPR membranes. 1-Nitropyrene (1-NP) was strongly activated by human P450 1B1/NPR membranes. 1,8-Dinitropyrene (1,8-DNP) was most highly activated by P450 1A1 and 1B1 systems for the three DNPs tested. In contrast, 1, 3-DNP was inactivated by P450 1A1/NPR, 1A2/NPR, and 1B1/NPR systems and slightly activated by NPR membranes. 2-Nitrofluoranthene (2-NF) and 3-nitrofluoranthene (3-NF) showed activities similar to 1-NP after bioactivation by P450 1B1/NPR membranes. However, the genotoxicities of 6-nitrochrysene, 7-nitrobenz[a]anthracene, and 6-nitrobenzo[a]pyrene were all weak in the present assay system. Apparent genotoxic activities of DEPE were very low compared with standard nitroarenes in the presence of P450s, possibly because unknown component(s) of DEPE had inhibitory effects on the bioactivation of 1-NP and 1,8-DNP catalyzed by human P450 1B1. These results suggest that environmental chemicals existing in airborne DEP, in addition to 1-NP, 1,6-DNP, 1,8-DNP, 2-NF, and 3-NF, can be activated by human P450 1B1. Biological actions of air pollutants such as nitroarenes to human extrahepatic tissues may be of concern in tissues in which P450 1B1 is expressed.

Abstract
Kolaviron biflavonoids have demonstrated antihepatotoxic activity in animal studies. The present study investigated the possible chemopreventive potential of kolaviron in inhibiting aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) genotoxicity in HepG2 cells. Kolaviron inhibition of AFB1-induced cytotoxicity by clonogenic assay and genotoxicity by [3H]thymidine incorporation in unscheduled DNA synthesis were evaluated, including antioxidant potential of kolaviron determined by its reduction in the intracellular reactive oxygen species level induced by hydrogen peroxide. Induction of AFB1-detoxicating enzymes such as cytochrome P450 3A4 (3A4) and glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) A1-1/ A2-2 (alpha) and M1B (mu) was determined by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and northern blotting for the messages and western immunoblot analysis for protein. Kolaviron significantly (P < 0.01) and dose-dependently inhibited the cytotoxicity (by 71.6%) and genotoxicity (47.1%) of AFB1 in HepG2 cells. The antioxidant potential of kolaviron compared favourably with values for the standard antioxidant trolox C (53.8% at only 4.5 x 10(-2)-fold kolaviron concentration) but was below that of butylated hydroxyanisole (58.1% at a ninefold kolaviron concentration). It induced about threefold increases in the messages for 3A4 and GSTs alpha and mu, including a twofold increase in GSTalpha protein. Kolaviron may have chemopreventive potential in inhibition of human AFB1 genotoxicity and possibly hepatocarcinogenesis.

Abstract
Mammalian cells in culture were used to study the genotoxic potential of coke oven emissions constituting a complex mixture of chemicals. For this purpose, particle extracts and some polycyclic aromatic and nitroaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH and nitro-PAH) occurring in these mixtures were assayed for DNA adduct formation using the -postlabeling technique. In primary cultures of rat hepatocytes, benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), benz[a]anthracene (B[a]A) and benzo[b]fluoranthene (B[k]F) caused DNA adduct levels in the range of 1 adduct/108 nucleotides. 4-Nitropyrene (4-NP), 6-nitrochrysene (6-NC), 3-nitrofluoranthene (3-NF) caused DNA adduct levels that were by one to two orders of magnitude higher. The crude particle extract and its fractions differing in acidity and polarity induced the formation of DNA reactive material within diagonal radioactive zones (DRZ) on the autoradiograms. On a weight base, the neutral aromatic fraction contributed by more than 80% to the total adduct level in hepatocytes. To examine whether the PAH- and nitro-PAH-DNA derived adducts can be further differentiated, hepatocyte cultures were preincubated with 2,3,7,8-tetrachloro-p-dioxin (TCDD) to induce the activity of cytochrome P450 1A1. TCDD pretreatment strongly increased the levels of PAH-DNA adducts, whereas, the levels of nitro-PAH adducts were markedly decreased. NCI-H322 cells, a human lung tumor cell line derived from Clara cells, exhibited PAH-DNA adduct levels between 10 and 100, and nitro-PAH-DNA adducts at levels between 0.2 to about 30 adducts per 108 nucleotides, respectively. In contrast to hepatocytes, incubations with extractable organic matter (EOM) and the neutral aromatic EOM fraction displayed several distinct spots in the chromatograms of NCI-H322 cells. The major spot was assigned by cochromatography to be identical with the major DNA adduct formed by incubation with B[a]P alone. In V79NH cells, a Chinese hamster lung cell line expressing nitro-PAH activating enzymes, but virtually no cytochrome P450 activity, PAH-derived DNA adducts were not detectable. Nitro-PAH-derived DNA adducts, however, were formed at levels between 10 and 300 adducts/108 nucleotides. The slightly and the moderately polar EOM fraction caused the formation of distinct adduct spots suggesting the occurrence of nitro-PAH in these fractions. GC/MS analyses revealed the presence of twelve PAH in the aromatic fraction, at a total amount of about 10% (w/w), and of four nitro-PAH in the slightly polar and the acidic fraction amounting to about 0.2% (w/w). In conclusion, our results indicate that PAH and nitro-PAH contribute to the genotoxicity of coke oven emissions. Using DNA adduct analysis in rat hepatocytes (+/-pretreatment with TCDD) and in NCI-H322 and in V79NH cells offers a promising approach to determine the genotoxic activity of PAH and nitro-PAH in any complex environmental samples.
