  • Title: Hepatocyte-mediated production of sister chromatid exchange in co-cultured cells by acrylonitrile: evidence for extra cellular transport of a stable reactive intermediate.
    Author: Brat SV, Williams GM.
    Journal: Cancer Lett; 1982; 17(2):213-6. PubMed ID: 7165873.
    Abstract:
    To study the possibility that liver metabolism of acrylonitrile (ACN) could produce a stable carcinogenic metabolite that causes the brain tumors produced by ACN, the ability of hepatocytes to generate a stable transportable mutagenic metabolite in culture was studied. ACN did not produce sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, but a significant increase was produced when CHO cells were co-cultured with freshly isolated rat hepatocytes. Induction of SCE in CHO cells co-cultured with hepatocytes suggests that the liver cells metabolize ACN and the reactive metabolite is transported from them to the CHO cells.
