ORGANOTYPIC IN VITRO HUMAN EPITHELIAL MODELS WITH ENGINEERED TOXICOLOGIC REPORTER FUNCTIONS.

3D organotypic in vitro human epithelial models including skin (e.g. EpiDerm, EpiDerm-FT) and airway (e.g. EpiAirway, EpiAirway-FT) are important advances over traditional monolayer cell culture models. For toxicology applications, these models provide more realistic, in vivo-like structure, barrier properties, metabolic... Read More

SULFUR MUSTARD TOXICITY FOLLOWING DERMAL EXPOSURE: ROLE OF OXIDATIVE STRESS, AND ANTIOXIDANT THERAPY.

Objective: Sulfur mustard (bis-2-(chloroethyl) sulfide) is a chemical warfare agent (military code: HD) causing extensive skin injury. The mechanisms underlying HD-induced skin damage are not fully elucidated. This review will critically evaluate the evidence showing that oxidative stress is an... Read More

EVALUATION OF IN VITRO MODELS FOR REACH TOXICITY TESTING: INDUCIBILITY OF XENOBIOTIC METABOLIZING ENZYME (XME) ACTIVITY IN IN VITRO HUMAN AIRWAY (EPIAIRWAY™) AND EPIDERMAL (EPIDERM™) MODELS.

Dermal and airway epithelia contain XMEs including phase I (oxidative) and phase II (conjugative) activities. These XMEs may play a role in biotransformation of drugs and chemicals, leading to altered drug activity or formation of toxic/mutagenic metabolites. Consideration of metabolic... Read More

IN VITRO EVALUATION OF AIRWAY TOXICITY USING THE EPIAIRWAY ORGANOTYPIC IN VITRO HUMAN AIRWAY MODEL.

Recent REACH legislation has heightened the need for validated in vitro airway toxicity models. However, in vitro determination of airway toxicity potential is problematic since submerged monolayer cell cultures are not amenable to dosing of vapors or water insoluble chemicals.... Read More
