1. Comet Assay applied to DNA damage study in fat snook, Centropomus parallelus (Poey, 1860), exposed to β-naphthoflavone / Aplicação do ensaio cometa a estudo de danos ao DNA de robalos, Centropomus parallelus (Poey, 1860), expostos à ß-naftoflavona
Single Cell Gel Electrophoresis or Comet Assay was applied to study the genotoxic potential of exposure in vivo to β-naphthoflavone (BNF) on erythrocytes of fat snook, Centropomus parallelus. Specific conditions for the comet assay on fat snook blood cells were established based on information obtained from literature together with results of experiment

2. Alterações morfologicas e atividades e expressão de citocromos P450 no figado de ratos tratados com L-NAME / Hepatic morphological alterations and cytochrome P450 activities and expression in rats treated with L-NAME
Nitric oxide (NO), a co-product of the metabolism of L-arginine to L-citrulline by NO synthases (NOS), has an important role in regulating vascular tone, inflammatory responses, and the gene expression and enzymatic activity of various proteins, including cytochrome P450 and NOS. The chronic inhibition of NOS by Nffi-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) pr

3. Glutathione S-transferase Ya subunit gene: identification of regulatory elements required for basal level and inducible expression.
The function of the 5'-flanking region of a rat glutathione S-transferase Ya subunit structural gene has been examined in homologous and heterologous cells. By using the 5'-flanking region of the Ya subunit gene fused to the structural gene encoding chloramphenicol acetyltransferase, we have identified two cis-acting regulatory elements in the upstream regio

4. A transferable, beta-naphthoflavone-inducible, hyperpolarizing factor is synthesized by native and cultured porcine coronary endothelial cells.
1. The vascular endothelium releases a hyperpolarizing factor (endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor, EDHF) tentatively identified as a cytochrome P450-derived arachidonic acid metabolite. However, there is still controversy concerning its transferability and identity. We designed a bioassay system for assessing EDHF release in which the membrane potent

5. Antioxidant Responses and NRF2 in Synergistic Developmental Toxicity of PAHs in Zebrafish
Early piscine life stages are sensitive to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) exposure, which can cause pericardial effusion and craniofacial malformations. We previously reported that certain combinations of PAHs cause synergistic developmental toxicity, as observed with coexposure to the aryl hydrocarbon receptor agonist β-naphthoflavone (BNF) and cyto

6. Vitamin C and α-naphthoflavone prevent estrogen-induced mammary tumors and decrease oxidative stress in female ACI rats
The mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of estrogen-induced breast carcinogenesis remain unclear. The present study investigated the roles of estrogen metabolism and oxidative stress in estrogen-mediated mammary carcinogenesis in vivo. Female August Copenhagen Irish (ACI) rats were treated with 17β-estradiol (E2), the antioxidant vitamin C, the estrogen

7. Identification of New 2-Amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline Urinary Metabolites from β-Naphthoflavone-Treated Mice
Metabolism of the heterocyclic amine carcinogen 2-amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (IQ) was evaluated in mice with and without 40 mg/kg β-naphthoflavone (BNF). Following an oral dose of 40 mg/kg 14C-IQ, a 24-h urine sample was collected. Metabolism was assessed by high-performance liquid chromatography, and metabolites were identified by electrosp

8. Agonist and Chemopreventative Ligands Induce Differential Transcriptional Cofactor Recruitment by Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor
Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is a transcription factor whose activity is regulated by environmental agents, including several carcinogenic agonists. We measured recruitment of AHR and associated proteins to the human cytochrome P4501A1 gene promoter in vivo. Upon treatment with the agonist β-naphthoflavone, AHR is rapidly associated with the promoter and

9. A ligand for the aryl hydrocarbon receptor isolated from lung
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is a ligand-inducible transcription factor that is best known because it mediates the actions of polycyclic and halogenated aromatic hydrocarbon environmental toxicants such as 3-methylcholanthrene and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin. We report here the successful identification of an endogenous ligand for this recepto

10. Modification of chromium(VI)-induced DNA damage by glutathione and cytochromes P-450 in chicken embryo hepatocytes.
The role of glutathione and cytochrome P-450 in the production of DNA damage by chromium(VI) was examined in chicken embryo hepatocytes by the alkaline elution technique. Cellular levels of glutathione and cytochrome P-450 were altered by treating the hepatocytes with N-acetyl-L-cysteine, buthionine sulfoximine, isopentanol, or beta-naphthoflavone. A dramati

11. Pyrolysis products from amino acids and protein: Highest mutagenicity requires cytochrome P1-450
Pyrolysis products of proteins and amino acids are highly mutagenic, but metabolism of these chemicals by rat liver subcellular fractions is known to be required for production of the mutagenic intermediates. We examined the mutagenesis of seven purified pyrolysis products from tryptophan, lysine, glutamic acid, and soybean globulin with Salmonella typhimuri

12. Caenorhabditis elegans orthologs of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor and its heterodimerization partner the aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor, until now described only in vertebrates, that mediates many of the carcinogenic and teratogenic effects of certain environmental pollutants. Here, we describe orthologs of AHR and its dimerization partner AHR nuclear translocator (ARNT) in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, enc
