We previously found that UVC irradiation stimulates the release of TGFalpha from its membrane-bound preprocursor form whereby it acts as a stimulus to rapid, reparative cell multiplication; clearly this runs the risk hastening mitosis before UV-induced DNA damage is fully corrected, which in turn may increase the likelihood of residual lesions persisting and hence of new mutations being generated.

Chem Res Toxicol. 2007 Sep;20(9):1277-90. Epub 2007 Aug 17.

A nitro to cyano analogue of FLU (CYA) was synthesized and used to test this hypothesis in the TGFalpha-transfected mouse hepatocyte cell line (TAMH).
Comparisons of transcriptomic changes caused by FLU with those caused by a panel of known cytotoxicants [acetaminophen, tetrafluoroethylcysteine, diquat, and rotenone (ROT)] indicated that FLU results in a temporal gene expression pattern similar to ROT, a known inhibitor of complex I of the electron transport chain.
