Mechanisms involved in the induction of apoptosis by T-2 and HT-2 toxins in HL-60 human promyelocytic leukemia cells
T-2 and HT-2 toxins belong to a group of mycotoxins that are widely encountered as natural contaminants known to elicit toxic responses in hematopoietic cells. In the present study, HL-60 cells were used to ch...

Estrogen-like properties of brominated analogs of bisphenol A in the MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line
Tetrabromobisphenol A (TeBBPA) is a four-meta-brominated variant of bisphenol A (BPA) and is one of the most commonly used brominated flame retardants worldwide. We compared the estrogenic potency of TeBBPA, BPA ...

Single-strand breaks, cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in HL-60 and LLCPK1 cells exposed to 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane
We investigated 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane (DBCP)-induced DNA damage, cell cycle alterations and cell death in two cell lines, the human leukemia HL-60 and the pig kidney LLCPK1, both of which are derived from p...

Selective Cellular Toxicity After Exposure to 4-Ipomeanol, Bromobenzene (BrBz) and 4-(Methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-Pyridyl)-1-Butanone (NNK) in Rat Lungs
The many different cell types identified in the lungs show a broad variation in morphology, function and metabolic capacity. Because of this variation certain cell types are more susceptible to the toxic insul...

Testicular Metabolism and Toxicity of Halogenated Propanes
A number of cases of infertility were discovered in 1977 among men working in a factory formulating the nematocide 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane (DBCP) (Whorton et al., 1977). These workers were found to have az...
