New Insight into Intrachromosomal Deletions Induced by Chrysotile in the gpt delta Transgenic Mutation Assay
BACKGROUND Genotoxicity is often a prerequisite to the development of malignancy. Considerable evidence has shown that exposure to asbestos fibers results in the generation of chromosomal aberrations and multilocus mutations using various in vitro approaches. However, there is less evidence to demonstrate the contribution of deletions to the mutagenicity of asbestos fibers in vivo. OBJECTIVES...
متن کاملGPT Meets PSR
We present a case study in confronting the GPT generalpurpose planner with the challenging power supply restoration (PSR) benchmark for contingent planning. PSR is derived from a real-world problem, and the dif£culty of modeling and solving it contrasts with that of the purely arti£cial benchmarks commonly used in the literature. This confrontation leads us to improve general techniques for con...
متن کاملIn vivo genotoxicity of methyleugenol in gpt delta transgenic rats following medium-term exposure.
Methyleugenol (MEG), which is commonly used as a fragrance and flavoring agent, has been shown to induce hepatocellular tumors in rodents. However, the role of genotoxicity as a possible mechanism of action is not fully understood even though the DNA-reactive metabolite of MEG has been identified. In this study, a gpt delta transgenic rat model was used to clarify whether genotoxic mechanisms a...
متن کاملEnhanced spontaneous and benzo(a)pyrene-induced mutations in the lung of Nrf2-deficient gpt delta mice.
The lung is an organ that is sensitive to mutations induced by chemicals in ambient air, and transgenic mice harboring guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (gpt) gene as a target gene are a well-established model system for assessing genotoxicity in vivo. Transcription factor Nrf2 mediates inducible and constitutive expression of cytoprotective enzymes against xenobiotics and mutagens. To address ...
متن کاملValidation study of the combined repeated-dose toxicity and genotoxicity assay using gpt delta rats
Transgenic rodents carrying reporter genes to detect organ-specific in vivo genetic alterations are useful for risk assessment of genotoxicity that causes cancer. Thus, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development has established the guideline for genotoxicity tests using transgenic animals, which may be combined with repeated-dose toxicity studies. Here, we provide evidence to su...
