n-Dodecane, a previously little-studied tumor-promoting agent and mezerein, a diterpenoid natural product, have both been reported to have activity primarily in Stage II of two stage tumor promotion in SENCAR mouse skin. Histological changes in this tissue were therefore investigated in response to
Responses of various cells of the epidermis and dermis to topically applied agents have been implicated in the mechanism of multistage mouse tumorigenesis. These responses have been discussed almost entirely in the context of a single promoter treatment, although tumor expression is dependent on
Increased indoor air concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOC) have been shown to contribute to the risk of respiratory and allergic diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the inflammatory potential of single VOC and mixtures using an in vitro model. TNF-alpha stimulated human
Up-regulation of inducible form of nitric oxide (NO)-synthase and increased production of NO has been shown to occur in many pathological conditions associated with inflammatory responses. In this study we show that topical application of skin tumor promoters, which are known to produce inflammatory
