Abstract

Acrylonitrile is a very high volume industrial chemical used primarily in the manufacture of plastics and rubber, which displays a pronounced acute toxicity and may be carcinogenic. The damage to the hematopoietic function by acrylonitrile may result from interference with cytokine production and cytokine receptor binding. Our present data show that acrylonitrile modulates the expression of some genes implicated in cell differentiation, cell‐cycle progression, and clonogenic potential of human cord blood cells. A macroarray hybridization analysis showed that expression of the CXCR4, MCP‐1, and MRP8 genes was modified by acrylonitrile exposure. Moreover, the acrylonitrile cell target seems to be the myeloid compartment, as assessed by a CFU‐GM assay. In particular, the downregulation of CXCR4, MCP1, and MRP8 can be responsible for the observed reduction of cell proliferation and clonogenic capability of CFU‐GM precursors. A Western blot assay showed an acrylonitrile‐dependent induction of Bax, while Bcl‐2 expression changed only after 48 h of chemical exposure. Bax was overexpressed in respect to Bcl‐2, and this fact can be responsible for the induction in cell death after 24 h of treatment. C‐fos and c‐jun were also downregulated after 24 h and 6 h of treatment, respectively. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Although excitotoxic and oxidative stress play important roles in spinal neuron death, the exact mechanism is not fully understood. We examined cell damage of primary culture of 11-day-old rat spinal cord by addition of glutamate, nitric oxide (NO) or peroxynitrite (PN) with detection of nitrotyrosi

We used a resonant cavity which delivered a continuous wave exposure at 864.3 MHz at an average specific absorption rate (SAR) of 7 W/kg to determine non-thermal biological effects of microwave exposure. A human mast cell line, HMC-1, was used as the biological target. Cells were given three exposur
