A comparison of human H295R and rat R2C cell lines as in vitro screening tools for effects on aromataseMarjoke Heneweer
Institute for Risk Assessment Sciences, Nieuw Gildestein, P O Box 80176, 3508 TD Utrecht, The Netherlands
Toxicol Lett 146:183-94. 2004..The R2C cell line, although not suitable for studying induction, appears to be a more sensitive cell line for studying inhibitory effects of xenobiotics on aromatase activity...
Co-culture of primary human mammary fibroblasts and MCF-7 cells as an in vitro breast cancer modelMarjoke Heneweer
Institute for Risk Assessment Sciences, Utrecht University, PO Box 80176, 3508 TD Utrecht, The Netherlands
Toxicol Sci 83:257-63. 2005..This co-culture provides a more sophisticated and sensitive system to detect direct and indirect estrogenic effects of compounds and their possible effects on breast tumor promotion...
Inhibition of aromatase activity by methyl sulfonyl PCB metabolites in primary culture of human mammary fibroblastsMarjoke Heneweer
Institute for Risk Assessment Sciences, Utrecht University, 3508 TD Utrecht, The Netherlands
Toxicol Appl Pharmacol 202:50-8. 2005..We conclude that in primary human mammary fibroblasts as well as in H295R cells, aromatase inhibition by MeSO(2)-PCBs is likely to be due to catalytic inhibition...
Additive estrogenic effects of mixtures of frequently used UV filters on pS2-gene transcription in MCF-7 cellsMarjoke Heneweer
Institute for Risk Assessment Sciences, Utrecht University, PO Box 80176, 3508 TD Utrecht, The Netherlands
Toxicol Appl Pharmacol 208:170-7. 2005..In view of our results and observed plasma levels it cannot be excluded that daily exposure to sunscreen formulations may have estrogenic effects in humans...
Subacute effects of hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) on hepatic gene expression profiles in ratsRocío F Cantón
Institute for Risk Assessment Sciences IRAS, Utrecht University, P O Box 80 177, NL 3508 TD, Utrecht, The Netherlands
Toxicol Appl Pharmacol 231:267-72. 2008..g. decreased thyroid hormone or increased serum cholesterol levels). To our knowledge, this is the fist study that describes the changes in rat hepatic gene profiles caused by this commonly used flame retardant...
