mical pounds in vitro Combining pathwayassociated gene expression with metabolic proiles generated in vitro, as is foreseen in carcinoGENOMICS, represents a highly innovative approach possibly leading to in silico models that may be used to predict the carcinogenic potential of a pound in vivo. Furthermore, toxicogenomicsbased assays may outperform currently available tests for genotoxicity, as well as for genotoxic and nongenotoxic carcinogenicity, without using animals. These in vitro methods may therefore play a major role under the new system of the Community regarding the REACH initiative. 研究動(dòng)向 An in vitro screening test for predicting the tumor promoting potential of chemicals based on gene expression Maeshima et al. established an in vitro realtime PCR screening assay with BALB/c 3T3 cells for the assessment of the tumor promoting potential of chemicals. based on 22 marker genes, enables earlier assessment, and is easier to conduct than classical methods. 63 test chemicals showed an accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of the assay of %, % and %, respectively. These results indicate that the tumor promoting activity assay, based on the expression of 22 marker genes, will bee a valuable tool for rapid screening of potential tumor promoters.
