Hormesis in Carcinogenicity of Non-genotoxic Carcinogens
Recently the idea of hormesis, a biphasic dose-response relationship in which a chemical exerts opposite effects dependent on the dose, has attracted interest in the field of carcinogenesis. With non-genotoxic agents there is considerable experimental evidence in support of hormesis and the present review highlights current knowledge of doseresponse effects. In particular, several in vivo studi...
متن کاملImplications of not detecting non-genotoxic carcinogens in the absence of carcinogenicity tests under REACH guidelines
Implications of not detecting non-genotoxic carcinogens in the absence of carcinogenicity tests under REACH guidelines Research performed by the RIVM has demonstrated that the European legislation does not comply with a specific small group of carcinogens, the so-called non-genotoxic carcinogens, which induce cancer via a mechanism other than the introduction of DNA damage. In view of these fin...
متن کاملDetoxication strategy of epoxide hydrolase-the basis for a novel threshold for definable genotoxic carcinogens.
From our recent work on the three-dimensional structure of epoxide hydrolases we theoretically deduced the likelihood of a two-step catalytic mechanism that we and others have subsequently experimentally confirmed. Analysis of the rate of the two steps by us and by others show that the first step-responsible for removal of the reactive epoxide from the system-works extraordinarily fast (typical...
متن کاملAre genotoxic carcinogens more potent than nongenotoxic carcinogens?
In this report we have raised the question whether genotoxic carcinogens are more potent than nongenotoxic carcinogens when studied in long-term carcinogenicity assays in rodents. To build a large database of compounds for which both carcinogenicity and genotoxicity had been investigated, we have used a database produced by Gold and co-workers for carcinogenic potency data (975 chemicals) and a...
متن کاملOxidative Stress in the Carcinogenicity of Chemical Carcinogens
This review highlights several in vivo studies utilizing non-genotoxic and genotoxic chemical carcinogens, and the mechanisms of their high and low dose carcinogenicities with respect to formation of oxidative stress. Here, we survey the examples and discuss possible mechanisms of hormetic effects with cytochrome P450 inducers, such as phenobarbital, a-benzene hexachloride and 1,1-bis(p-chlorop...
