Abstract
para-Phenylenediamine (p-PD) is a suspected carcinogen, but it has been widely used as a component in permanent hair dyes. In this study, the mechanism of p-PD-induced cell death in normal Chang liver cells was investigated. The results demonstrated that p-PD decreased cell viability in a dose-dependent manner. Cell death via apoptosis was confirmed by enhanced DNA damage and increased cell number in the sub-G1 phase of the cell cycle, using Hoechst 33258 dye staining and flow cytometry analysis. Apoptosis via reactive oxygen species generation was detected by the dichlorofluorescin diacetate staining method. Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation was assessed by western blot analysis and revealed that p-PD activated not only stress-activated protein kinase (SAPK)/c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK) and p38 MAPK but also extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK). Cytotoxicity and apoptosis induced by p-PD were markedly enhanced by ERK activation and selectively inhibited by ERK inhibitor PD98059, thus indicating a negative role of ERK. In contrast, inhibition of p38 MAPK activity with the p38-specific inhibitor SB203580 moderately inhibited cytotoxicity and apoptosis induction by p-PD. Similarly, SP600125, an inhibitor of SAPK/JNK, moderately inhibited cytotoxicity and apoptosis induced by p-PD, thus implying that p38 MAPK and SAPK/JNK had a partial role in p-PD-induced apoptosis. Western blot analysis revealed that p-PD significantly increased phosphorylation of p38 and SAPK/JNK and decreased phosphorylation of ERK. In conclusion, the results demonstrated that SAPK/JNK and p38 cooperatively participate in apoptosis induced by p-PD and that a decreased ERK signal contributes to growth inhibition or apoptosis.

Abstract
A heterocyclic amine, 3-amino-1,4-dimethyl-5H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole (Trp-P-1) is one of the potent food-born dietary carcinogens derived mainly from burnt meat products. In the present study, we investigated the inductive effect of Trp-P-1 on nitric oxide (NO) production in murine macrophages since NO and its oxidized derivatives are directly involved in triggering mutagenesis and carcinogenesis. Our results show that Trp-P-1 induced mRNA expression of inducible NO synthase (iNOS) and NO production without co-stimulation in murine peritoneal macrophages and RAW 264.7 cells. Trp-P-1 further enhanced both iNOS mRNA expression and NO production, which were primarily induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Electrophoretic mobility shift assay demonstrated that Trp-P-1, alone or in the presence of LPS, facilitated the DNA binding activity of the transcription factor NF-kappaB, and the trans-acting activity of the NF-kappaB was confirmative as determined by in vitro transfection and a luciferase reporter gene assay. Moreover, Trp-P-1 induced increasing intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), which play an important role in NF-kappaB activation. These results suggest that Trp-P-1 induces NO production mediated by an increased intracellular ROS, NF-kappaB activation, and subsequent iNOS gene expression.

Abstract
A short-term effect of a meal of fried meat is a postprandial induction of hepatic and intestinal cytochrome P450 activity. In order to identify the components responsible for this effect we investigated the potency of food derived genotoxic heterocyclic aromatic amines (HA) to induce CYP1A1 in vitro. In two cell lines, the rat hepatoma cell line H4IIE and the human breast cancer cell line MCF-7, we investigated 2-amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline (MeIQx), 2-amino-3-methyl-9H-pyrido[2,3-b]indole (MeAC), 3-amino-1,4-dimethyl-5H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole (Trp-P-1) and Harman representing the different classes of HA at concentrations from 10(-8) to 10(-4) M. Induction of CYP1A1 was analysed on the mRNA level by semi-quantitative RT-PCR and the protein level (western blot using specific antibodies). The relative order of enzyme induction was Trp-P-1 with 1.4 x 10(-6) M (EC50 compared to TCDD 10(-9) M), MeAalphaC (1.4 x 10(-5)), Harman (2.1 x 10(-4)) and MeIQx (1.0 x 10(-3)). Furthermore, CYP1A1 enzyme activity was analysed as ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase. While protein and mRNA analyses gave similar results, competitive inhibition impaired the enzyme activity assay. Inhibition of CYP1A1 activity was determined using microsomes of heterologous expressed CYP1A1. This dose-dependent inhibitory activity paralleled the induction potency. These results compare well with earlier data published for hepatic enzyme induction by HA observed in animal experiments. However, since the observed activities are rather weak and the amounts of HA ingested with a meal are low, there may be other factors involved in the observed postprandial enzyme induction in humans. On the other hand, concentrations in the micromolar range that are reached in high dosage animal experiments with HA may well influence cytochrome activity and, thus, influence the experimental outcome of these studies.

Abstract
Cell therapy, in particular liver cell transplantation, holds great therapeutic potential and is partially hindered by the high rate of apoptosis during cell isolation, cryopreservation, and engraftment. Apoptosis occurring due to cell detachment from the extracellular matrix is a phenomenon termed "anoikis." The purpose of this review is to describe signaling mechanisms pertinent to anoikis in both immortalized cell lines, but particularly in primary normal epithelial cells. The mechanisms described include integrin signaling and survival molecules, caspase activation, and the role of mitochondrial proteins in anoikis. Strategies to prevent anoikis during isolation and cryopreservation of hepatocytes are discussed.

Abstract
Honokiol is a phenolic compound purified from Magnolia officinalis, which induced the apoptotic cell death in several types of human cancer cells. In the present study, the molecular mechanism of honokiol-mediated apoptotic process was examined in human squamous lung cancer CH27 cells. Here, we found that honokiol-induced apoptotic cell death was accompanied by upregulation of Bad and downregulation of Bcl-XL, while honokiol had no effect on the levels of Bcl-2, Bcl-XS, Bag-1, Bax and Bak proteins. Moreover, honokiol treatment caused the release of mitochondrial cytochrome c to cytosol and sequential activation of caspases. Proteolytic activation of caspase-3 and cleavage of PARP, an in vivo substrate for caspase-3, were observed in honokiol-treated CH27 cells. Furthermore, treatment with caspase inhibitors z-DEVD-fmk and z-VAD-fmk markedly blocked honokiol-induced apoptosis. These results demonstrated that modulation of Bcl-XL and Bad proteins, release of mitochondrial cytochrome c and activation of caspase-3, participated in honokiol-triggered apoptotic process in human squamous lung cancer CH27 cells.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the mechanism of apoptosis by 3-amino-1,4-dimethyl-5H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole (Trp-P-1) in cocultures of parenchymal and nonparenchymal liver cells, since the liver consists of various cell types and they cooperatively respond to chemicals. It was found that cocultures were more susceptible to cell death by Trp-P-1 than culture of each cell type alone. In cocultures, Trp-P-1 induced DNA fragmentation accompanied by the activation of 18-kDa endonuclease. Trp-P-1 (30 microM) caused a rapid increase in Bid protein level in mitochondria and the leakage of cytochrome c from mitochondria into the cytosol 15 min after treatment. On the other hand, an increase in Bax protein and a decrease in Bcl-2 protein were detected in the mitochondrial fraction 2 h after treatment following the increases in p53 protein level and DNA binding activity of NF-kappa B. Caspase-8 was activated within 30 min followed by the activation of downstream caspases as measured using the corresponding peptide substrates. The activation of caspases was also confirmed by cleavage of caspase-3, poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase, and protein kinase C-delta as analyzed by Western blotting. A peptide inhibitor of caspase-8 diminished DNA ladder formation and the activation of downstream caspases, but a caspase-9 inhibitor and pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate as an inhibitor of NF-kappa B showed only partial inhibition, suggesting that caspase-8 is the apical caspase in the cascade. These results led to the conclusion that Trp-P-1 mainly drives the caspase-8-mediated pathway that involves Bid, accompanied by a delay in the p53/NF-kappa B-mediated side pathway that involves Bax, Bcl-2, and caspase-9.
