Toxic effects of ozone on murine L929 fibroblasts. Damage to DNA.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Damage to DNA caused by exposure of L929 fibroblasts to ozone was reflected by the generation of strand breaks, DNA inter-strand cross-links and DNA-protein cross-links. Addition of propan-2-ol, a hydroxyl radical scavenger, did not affect the formation of strand breaks. In model experiments it appeared that both purines and pyrimidines were involved in DNA inter-strand and DNA-protein cross-links.

Toxic effects of ozone on murine L929 fibroblasts. Damaging action on transmembrane transport systems.
Exposure of murine L929 fibroblasts to ozone caused inactivation of the energy-coupled transport systems for 2-aminoisobutyric acid and Rb+. Ozone induced an increase of the apparent Km for 2-aminoisobutyric acid transport, with a constant Vmax, indicating impairment of the carrier function, rather than a decrease in the number of transport sites. The uptake rate of 2-deoxy-D-glucose, on the ot...
متن کاملThreshold Dose of Three Types of Quantum Dots (QDs) Induces Oxidative Stress Triggers DNA Damage and Apoptosis in Mouse Fibroblast L929 Cells
Although it has been reported that fluorescent quantum dots (QDs) have obvious acute toxic effects in vitro, their toxic effects at low doses or threshold doses are still unknown. Therefore, we evaluated the biological histocompatibility and in vitro toxicity of three types of QDs at threshold doses. Also, we compared the toxic effects of QDs with different raw chemical compositions and sizes. ...

Berberine, an isoquinoline alkaloid isolated from several traditional Chinese herbal medicines (TCM), exhibits a strong antimicrobial activity in the treatment of diarrhea. However, it causes human as well as animal toxicity from heavy dosage. The present study was conducted to investigate the cytotoxicity of berberine and its possible trigger mechanisms resulting in cell cycle arrest, DNA dama...
متن کاملThe acute toxicity of urea coated ferrous oxide nanoparticles on L929 cell line, evaluation of biochemical and pathological parameters in rat kidney and liver
Introduction: Iron plays an important role in physiological processes as a trace element. Today, iron oxide nanoparticles have attracted extensive attention due to their super paramagnetic properties and a variety of potential applications in many fields. The main objective of this study was to evaluate in vitro and in vivo toxic effects of the iron oxide nanoparticles on L929 cell line, kid...
متن کاملIn vitro apoptotic and DNA damaging potential of nanobarium oxide
Barium oxide nanoparticles (BaONPs) are an important industrial compound and are widely used in polymers and paints. In this study, apoptotic and genotoxic effects of BaONPs in mouse embryonic fibroblast (L929) cells were determined by using single-cell gel test. In vitro cytotoxicity assays were performed to assess BaONPs' toxicity in L929 cells. Mild cytotoxicity was observed in L929 cells du...
