lüll Molecular mechanisms of carcinogenesis by vinyl chloride Dogliotti EAnn Ist Super Sanita 2006[]; 42 (2): 163-9In 1974 vinyl chloride (VC), a gas used in the plastics industry, was shown to be a human carcinogen, inducing a very rare type of tumor, angiosarcoma of the liver. The same type of tumor was induced in rodents exposed to VC thus providing an excellent model for mechanistic studies. Here, we review the numerous studies on the mechanism of action of VC with particular emphasis on the DNA products induced by this strong alkylating agent. In particular, the genotoxicity, repair mechanisms, in vivo formation and tumor mutation spectra by etheno-adducts will be analysed and possible approaches for future research suggested.|Animals[MESH]|Carcinogenicity Tests[MESH]|Carcinogens/*toxicity[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Mutagenicity Tests[MESH]|Neoplasms/*chemically induced[MESH]|Vinyl Chloride/*toxicity[MESH] |
