J A Hardin et al.
Toxicology and applied pharmacology, 117(2), 155-164 (1992-12-01)
The capacity for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) to suppress immune cell function has been well documented. Nevertheless, mechanisms responsible for PAH immunosuppression and potential effects of PAH on lymphocyte development (lymphopoeisis) remain poorly defined. Murine bone marrow cultures were used
D R Davila et al.
Journal of toxicology and environmental health. Part A, 56(4), 249-261 (2000-03-08)
It has been well established that certain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), such as 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA), 3-methylcholanthrene (3MC), and benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), produce immunotoxicity and cancer in rodents and that these effects are also likely seen in humans. Our laboratory has found
Lawrence R Curtis et al.
Toxicology and applied pharmacology, 254(1), 1-7 (2011-05-10)
This study assessed the role of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) affinity, and cytochrome P4501A (CYP1A) protein and activity in polyaromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-induced oxidative stress. In the 1-100nM concentration range benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) but not benzo[e]pyrene (BeP) competitively displaced 2nM [(3)H]2, 3
Ashish Sharma et al.
Investigative ophthalmology & visual science, 49(11), 5111-5117 (2008-07-01)
To better understand the cellular and molecular basis for the epidemiologic association between cigarette smoke and age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the authors examined the effects of Benzo(e)Pyrene (B(e)P), a toxic element in cigarette smoke, on human retinal pigment epithelial cells
A Jayaprakash Patil et al.
Current eye research, 34(8), 672-682 (2009-11-11)
To study the effects of benzo(e)pyrene (B(e)P), a toxic component of cigarette smoke, on retinal neurosensory (R28) cells and human microvascular endothelial cells (HMVEC). R28 cells and HMVEC were treated for 24 hours with 1000, 400, 200, and 100 micro
