    Notizen: Abstract A biomarker prescreen assay using inhibition of DNA damage induced by the binding of a carcinogen, benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) to human bronchial epithelial cells (BEAS-2B) is described. The BEAS-2B cells are immortalized but are essentially normal by being non-tumorigenic in animals and having most of the metabolic functions intact. BEAS-2B cells plated for 18 hours are exposed to a chemopreventive test agent for 2 hours followed by addition of 3H-B[a]P and incubation for an additional 18 hours. DNA is extracted by a non-phenolic procedure and after determining DNA purity and content, the radioactivity is measured. The percent inhibition of radioactivity per mg of DNA sample in the agent-treated samples compared to untreated cell control is calculated. Ellagic acid (15 μM) is used as a positive inhibitor to ensure the assay conditions are appropriate. The assay is easy to perform and provides a reliable screening model for chemopreventive activity using a large number of compounds in a relatively short time. The preincubation with test agents provides an additional advantage to the screening system as it would facilitate the detection of agents that are effective by inhibiting carcinogen-activating enzymes.

    Notizen: Abstract A simple biochemical assay for screening potential chemopreventive agents using induction of (reduced) glutathione (GSH), in rat liver (BRL-3A) cells is described. BRL-3A cells, cultured to subconfluency, are exposed to potential chemopre-ventive agents for 24 hours and solubilized by sonication. The cytosolic fraction is then assayed for GSH by reacting with O-phthalaldehyde (OPT) to form a fluorescent product that is activated at 350 nm and has an emission peak at 420 nm. The amount of GSH in samples is determined from a regression curve generated from known concentrations of GSH. The percent induction is estimated by comparing the levels in untreated control (basal level) and the agent-treated groups. N-acetyl-l-cysteine at 10 μM is routinely included in each assay as a positive inducer of GSH.

    Notizen: Abstract Mouse mammary glands respond to growth promoting hormones in organ culture. In the presence of insulin, prolactin, aldostrone, and hydrocortisone, the glands exhibit extensive proliferation within 10 days of culture mimicking the mammary alveolar structures observed during pregnancy. However withdrawal of prolactin and steroids from the medium for an additional 14 days results in the disintegration of the alveolar structures resembling the mammary morphology observed during the involution stage. During the growth promoting phase if the glands are exposed to 7, 12, dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) for 24 hours and cultured through the entire 24 days of culture period, they develop precancerous lesions. This model is highly reproducible and extensively utilized to evaluate efficacy of potential chemopreventive agents against carcinogen-induced mammary lesions.

    Notizen: Abstract An in vitro biochemical assay using induction of a phase II enzyme, NADPH-quinone reductase (NADPH-QR) for selection and identification of potential chemopreventive agents is described. A normal human liver cell line (Chang liver cells) or a rodent rat liver cell line (buffalo rat liver cells) was selected as the candidate cell line for induction of QR by a known chemopreventive agent, genistein. The choice of a liver cell line is based on the fact that liver being a major metabolic organ, phase II enzymes are commonly elaborated in liver tissues and is therefore appropriate for enzyme induction studies.
