Zusammenfassung
The carcinogenic potential of xenobiotics and possible confounders are often difficult to differentiate in in vivo studies. In contrast, in vitro studies allow investigation of the impact of carcinogens on human target cells under standardized conditions. The aim of the present study is to demonstrate whether three-dimensional mini organ-cultures (MOCs) of human inferior nasal turbinate epithelia may represent a useful model to study genotoxic effects of xenobiotics in vitro. Culture of mini organs was performed by cutting 1 mm(3) pieces from fresh specimens of inferior nasal turbinates. After a period of 5-6 days the specimens were fully covered with epithelium. On days 7, 9, and I I of culture, intact MOCs from 25 tissue donors were incubated with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as a negative control, or with mono(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP), benzo[a]pyrene-7,8-diol-9,10-epoxide (BPDE), or N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG). On days 7 and 11, MOCs were analyzed by the alkaline Comet assay to detect DNA-single-strand breaks, alkali-labile sites and incomplete excision-repair sites. DNA migration after single exposure of non-cultivated fresh specimens was also analyzed. In order to detect regimen-specific effects, DNA fragmentation after single exposure of intact MOCs was compared with that of cells after separation of MOCs on day 7 of culture and consecutive exposure of individual cells. Significant DNA migration as a measure of DNA single-strand breaks, alkali-labile sites and incomplete excision repair sites, was found after electrophoresis due to single and triple exposure of MOCs to MEHP, BPDE and MNNG. Triple exposure of MOCs compared to single exposure revealed no difference after exposure to DMSO or MEHP, and an increased migration after exposure to BPDE and MNNG. When single exposure of isolated cells from fresh specimens was compared with that of intact MOCs, DMSO and MNNG had no significantly different effect, whereas exposure to MEHP or BPDE caused a reduced migration in cells from MOCs. When exposure of isolated cells harvested from MOCs was compared with exposure of intact MOCs, MEHP and BPDE caused a significantly lower DNA migration in intact MOCS. MOCs provide an in vitro model suitable for the assessment of genotoxic effects of environmental pollutants both after single or repetitive exposure. Due to the intact structure of the exposed mucosa this model may be a helpful tool in mimicking the in vivo situation in ecogenotoxicology studies. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
