title: Stable expression of human cytochrome P450IA2 cDNA in a human lymphoblastoid cell line: role of the enzyme in the metabolic activation of aflatoxin B1.
abstract: A human lymphoblastoid cell line stably expressing a human cytochrome P450IA2 cDNA was developed. This recombinant cell line displayed P450IA2 protein and estradiol 2-hydroxylase activity, neither of which was detected in the parental cell line. The recombinant cell line was also approximately 1000-fold more sensitive to the cytotoxicity and mutagenicity of the carcinogenic mycotoxin aflatoxin B1 than was the parent cell line. The increase in mutagenicity was supported by a corresponding increase in the level of aflatoxin B1 binding to DNA in cells expressing P450IA2 relative to control cells.
