Gene expression changes induced by the tumorigenic pyrrolizidine alkaloid riddelliine in liver of Big Blue rats
2007
BMC Bioinformatics
Results: Riddelliine-induced gene expression profiles in livers of Big Blue transgenic rats were determined. ...

Metabolism, Genotoxicity, annd Carcinogenicity of Comfrey
2010
Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health. Part B, Critical Reviews
The available evidence suggests that the active metabolites of PA in comfrey interact with DNA in liver endothelial cells and hepatocytes, resulting in DNA damage, mutation induction, and cancer development ...
Overall, comfrey is mutagenic in liver, and PA contained in comfrey appear to be responsible for comfrey-induced toxicity and tumor induction. ...

Comparison of gene expression profiles altered by comfrey and riddelliine in rat liver
2007
BMC Bioinformatics
Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) exist in many plants and many of them cause liver toxicity and/or cancer in humans and experimental animals. ...
Results: Groups of 6 Big Blue Fisher 344 rats were treated with riddelliine at 1 mg/kg body weight by gavage five times a week for 12 weeks or fed a diet containing 8% comfrey root for 12 weeks. ...

Gene Expression Profiling as an Initial Approach for Mechanistic Studies of Toxicity and Tumorigenicity of Herbal Plants and Herbal Dietary Supplements
2010
Journal of Environmental Science And Health Part C - Environmental Carcinogenesis & Ecotoxicology Reviews
The changes in expression of subsets of genes of interest, such as the modulation of drug metabolizing genes, can be analyzed after treatment with an herbal dietary supplement. ...
Due to the complexity of the chemical components present in plant extracts, there are no established methodologies for determining the mechanisms of toxicity (particularly tumorigenicity) induced by herbs ...

Analysis of gene expression changes in relation to toxicity and tumorigenesis in the livers of Big Blue transgenic rats fed comfrey (Symphytum officinale)
2006
BMC Bioinformatics
Results: In this study, we identified comfrey-induced gene expression profile in the livers of rats. ...
Our previous study suggested that comfrey induces liver tumors by a genotoxic mechanism and that the pyrrolizidine alkaloids in the plant are responsible for mutation induction and tumor initiation in ...

Analysis of in vivo mutation data can inform cancer risk assessment
2008
Regulatory toxicology and pharmacology
Our analysis of published data on riddelliine in rats and dichloroacetic acid in mice indicates that our approach has merit. ...
We are currently evaluating whether the analysis of in vivo gene mutation data can inform the risk assessment process by better defining the MOA for cancer and thus influencing the choice of the low-dose ...
