Oral administration of 1,4-dioxane to rats caused DNA strand breaks in liver cells. However, no covalent DNA binding was detected in rat liver. No induction of unscheduled DNA synthesis w as observed in rat hepatocytes after either in-vivo treatment or in-vitro cell treatment with 1,4-dioxane, even when the animals had previously been exposed to 1% 1,4-dioxane for one week. In the same study, no induction of unscheduled DNA synthesis in rat nasal epithelial cells was observed. 

Chronic nitrous oxide abuse can remove a lot of vitamin B12 from the bloodstream. B12 (cobalamin) is necessary for the creation of blood cells and neurotransmitters, as well as the protective layers that cover nerves. This results in nerve damage and pain balancing, walking, and concentration difficulties mental impairment mood disturbances (such as depression) and other physical problems. Chronic nitrous oxide use may also interfere with the production in bone marrow of white blood cells and red blood cells. Treatment with intramuscular injections of B12 may reverse these symptoms. 

Dorrington and colleagues [60] first demonstrate the ability of FSH to induce aromatases in granulosa cells. Treatment with FSH from various mammalian species increases aromatase activity in granulosa cells from rats [61]. It is known that the aromatase system is comprised of a specific form of cytochrome P-450 and the fla-voprotein NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase. Recently, the cytochrome P-450 aromatase enzyme has been cloned from human placenta, thus allowing further investigation of the molecular mechanisms that mediate the regulation of aromatase activity [62]. 

Inhibition of FAAH by anandamide in CHPlOO cells was accompanied by arachidonic acid release, which was not observed upon treatment of cells with other fatty add amides (Maccarrone et al., 2000). Cell treatment with anandamide or 2-AG also increased the activity of COX and 5-lipoxygenase, and the hydroperoxides generated by lipoxygenase were shown to inhibit FAAH, with inhibition constants in the low-micromolar range. Inhibitors of 5-lipoxygenase but not COX signihcantly antagonized the inhibition of FAAH by anandamide or 2-AG.

In mouse mammary tumor cells, treatment with black cohosh increased the cytotoxicity of doxorubicin and docetaxel and decreased the cytotoxicity of cisplatin, but did not alter the effects of radiation or 4-hydroperoxycyclophos-phamide (an analog of cyclophosphamide that is active in cell culture) (Rockwell et al. 2005).

The RC was first identified as a membrane-associated structure in the cytoplasm of poliovirus-infected cells. Treatment with deoxycholate liberated a fast-sedimentation component (average 250 S), which contained most of the label after short pulses with radioactive uridine. Ribosomes were not associated with the complex, as EDTA did not modify its sedimentation behaviour (52). 

Nitric oxide donors and atrial natriuretic peptide have been shown to block H2O2 mediated increase in the permeability of porcine pulmonary artery endothelial cells. Erythro-9-(2-hydroxy-3-nonyl)-adenine inhibition of cyclic GMP-stimulated phosphodiesterase reduced this effect (Suttorp et al. 1996). In pig aortic endothelial cells, treatment with H2O2 (0.5 mM) for 20 h reduced the number of viable cells to 44% of control (Oberle and Schroder 1996). A 6-h preincubation with SlN-1 (0.5 mM) protected endothelial cells from H202-mediated cytotoxicity and increased viability to 81 % of control. However, SlN-1 had no protective effect when the preincubation time was reduced to 3 h or when SlN-1 and H2O2 were added simultaneously to the cells. 

Vitamin Bg in its various forms has antioxidant properties that compare favorably with those of the well-established antioxidant vitamins such as vitamin C and the tocopherols. Pyridoxine and pyridoxamine inhibit superoxide radicals and prevent lipid peroxidation, protein glycosylation, and Na+,K+-ATPase activity in high glucose-treated erythrocytes and hydrogen peroxide-treated monocytes (2) and endothelial cells (3). In bovine endothelial cells, treatment with homocysteine and copper increased extracellular hydrogen peroxide levels. Treatment with pyridoxal or EDTA prevented such increases and enhanced the viability of the cells by supporting apoptosis.

A large number of experimental facts and a series of indirect experiments have led Brachet and Caspersson, independently of each other, to the conclusion that nucleic acids are involved in protein synthesis. The concentration of RNA in the cell is approximately proportional to the growth of Bac. lactic aerogenes, thus leading Caldwell to consider RNA as being the template itself. Jeener has shown for his part that during experimental modifications of the volumes of the nucleus and the cytoplasm of Thermobacterium acidophilus protein synthesis was quantitatively related to the level of RNA. Finally, direct experiments have shown that in various cells or fragments of cells, treatment with ribonuclease suppresses protein synthesis. 

Despite significant variations in experimental design, the available evidence suggests that, in most cells, treatment with retinoids brings about a reduction in ODC synthesis and an increase in TG synthesis. Transformed cells are generally less differentiated and have been reported to have lower TG activity (Birckbichler et al., 1977 Birckbichler and Patterson, 1978) and higher ODC activity (Bach-rach, 1976) than their normal counterparts. Thus the effects of retinoids on each of these activities are in the direction of suppressing the transformed phenotype. 

In the MDCK cells, treatment with iV-(4-hydroxyphenyl)retinamide did not inhibit arachidonic acid release, suggesting that the retinoid was possibly acting as a cyclooxygenase inhibitor. Whether this enzyme inhibition is related to the retinoid character of the molecule or to a particular spatial configuration of the phenolic end group in the molecule is unknown certainly none of the bioassay systems described in Chapter 5, Vol. 1, point to a different role or mechanism of action for this retinoid as compared to retinoic acid.
