Genetic toxicology and toxicogenomic analysis of 3 cigarette smoke condensates in vitro reveals few differences between high and low tar brands
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: This experiment investigated the response of mouse pulmonary epithelial cells in culture (FE1 cell line) to 3 different brands of cigarette smoke condensate. The three brands represent a full flavour, regular and king-size light cigarettes. These vary in some key chemical consistuents. Brand #1 has the highest tar content. The cells were exposed to two doses: one at approximately 50% cytotoxicity, and the other at approximately 20%. Both doses were clastogenic. The major pathways affected included xenobiotic metabolism, cell cycle, apoptosis, oxidative stress and inflammation. Although brand #1 exhibited the most numbers of genes that were differentially expressed, there did not appear to be any major differences in the expression profiles between the brands. Although some genes did not reach statistical significance, in general there was consistency in the direction of fold changes for genes across all brands.
