Toxicology. 2009 Jan 31;255(3):151-9. Epub 2008 Nov 6.

BEAS-2B cells were exposed during 6, 10, and 24h to the respiratory sensitizers ammonium hexachloroplatinate IV, hexamethylene diisocyanate, and trimellitic anhydride, the irritants acrolein and methyl salicylate, and the skin sensitizer 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene.
The 10 most discriminative genes were BC042064, A_24_P229834, DOCK11, THC2544911, DLGAP4, NINJ1, PFKM, FLJ10986, IL28RA, and CASP9.

Acrolein induced apoptosis through a decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential, the liberation of cytochrome c, the activation of initiator caspase-9, and the activation of the effector caspase-7.

Acrolein (3-27microM, 30-60min) activated early stage processes in the mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis, such as Bax translocation to mitochondria, cytochrome c release, caspase-9 activation, and translocation of apoptosis-inducing factor to the nucleus.

Cyclophosphamide (CPA), a widely used oxazaphosphorine anti-cancer prodrug, is inactive until it is metabolized by cytochrome P450 to yield phosphoramide mustard and acrolein, which alkylate DNA and proteins, respectively.
