Caffeine has been investigated for its potential mutagenic activity to bacteria, fungi and mammalian cells in culture, and at high concentrations it is also an inducer of apoptosis. Caffeine can exert acute cellular toxicity, including inhibition of cell growth and cell death, in Chinese hamster ova

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
Chinese Hamster Ovary fibroblasts (CHO‐K1) have shown different protein contents when undergoing differentiation by 3′,5′‐cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), which is known to induce reverse transformation (RT) from malignancy to fibroblast‐like characteristics. The mass spectrometry (MS) investigation here reported about the behavior of CHO‐K1 cells before and after exposure to cAMP reveals a change in the composition of nuclear proteins associated to an inhibition of the protein expression. Possible implications of this finding on the control of cell reverse transformation are discussed. J. Cell. Biochem. 102: 473–482, 2007. © 2007 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

The effect of turmeric and curcumin, two natural antioxidants, on the frequencies of chromosome aberrations induced in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells by g-radiation was investigated. Cells were treated with three concentrations of each drug, turmeric (100, 250, and 500 mg/ml) and curcumin (2.5, 5
## Abstract Sodium butyrate (NaBu) can enhance the expression of genes controlled by some of the mammalian promoters, but it can also inhibit cell growth and induce cellular apoptosis. Thus, the beneficial effect of using a higher concentration of NaBu on a foreign protein expression is compromised
