| Abstract | Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are environmental pollutants that require metabolic activation to exert their carcinogenic effects. This study investigated the 3,4-diol-1,2-epoxide formation of benz[a]anthracene (BA) and its toxic effects in a human in vitro hepatocyte culture system. Both mRNA and protein expression of metabolic enzymes which can activate PAHs to carcinogenic forms increased after BA exposure in HepG2 cells and our quantitative analysis showed that the formation of BA-3,4-diol-1,2-epoxide in medium extracts increased in a time-dependent manner. We also performed several comparative studies which show that much lower concentrations of BA-3,4-diol-1,2-epoxide had stronger cytotoxicity and genotoxicity than higher doses of BA. These results suggest that BA is activated as the major carcinogenic metabolite 3,4-diol-1,2-epoxide, in human in vitro culture systems by metabolic enzymes and that this metabolite has stronger cytotoxic and genotoxic effects than its parent compound. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
