The flavonol kaempferol is widely found in the diet and is directly mutagenic in some short-term tests, such as the induction of chromosomal aberrations in eukaryotic cells. The presence of exogenous metabolizing systems enhances its mutagenicity. We have evaluated the role of cytochromes P450 in th

Cytochrome P450 is known to cause carcinogen activation and correspondingly increased cancer risk in animal models. In order to determine whether P450 in the colon may be involved in cancer development in the human, the human colon cell line LS174T was examined for the presence of various cytochrome
## Abstract 3‐Nitrobenzanthrone (3‐NBA) is a potent mutagen and suspected human carcinogen identified in diesel exhaust and ambient air pollution. 3‐Aminobenzanthrone (3‐ABA), 3‐acetylaminobenzanthrone (3‐Ac‐ABA) and __N__‐acetyl‐__N__‐hydroxy‐3‐aminobenzanthrone (__N__‐Ac‐__N__‐OH‐ABA) have been i
## Abstract Normal human bronchial epithelial (NHBE) cells are the putative progenitor cells of all types of lung cancer. NHBE cells immortalized by SV40 T‐antigen retain many characteristics of the primary cells and are a useful model for investigating the role of oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes
In continuation of our work toward the establishment of a working cell bank for metabolic and toxicological studies, V79 Chinese hamster cells were genetically engineered for stable expression of rat cytochrome P450IA2. Full-length cDNA encoding rat P450IA2 was obtained by searching a cDNA library m
