Conduct of the mouse lymphoma assay (MLA) is underpinned by Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Test Guideline 490 and International Conference on Harmonisation S2(R1) guidance and is a recognised in vitro genotoxicity test battery assay. It has been used on a limited number of occasions for the assessment of some tobacco and nicotine products, such as e-cigarettes and tobacco heating products (THP). The aim of this study was to assess the suitability of the MLA for genotoxicity testing with a variety of tobacco and nicotine products. Total particulate matter (TPM) from a 3R4F cigarette was compared against a commercial electronic cigarette liquid (e-liquid), electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) aerosol matter captured from the same e-liquid, and TPM from a commercial THP. Treatment conditions included 3 h exposures with and without metabolic activation and a longer 24 h exposure without metabolic activation (-S9) at concentrations up to 500 μg/mL. Under all treatment conditions, 3R4F produced a clear positive response with regard to induction of mutation. In contrast, no marked induction of mutation was observed for the e-liquid, e-cigarette aerosol or THP. Additionally, data are presented as a function of nicotine equivalents for comparisons between these different tobacco products and test matrices.

D008928 Mitochondria Semiautonomous, self-reproducing organelles that occur in the cytoplasm of all cells of most, but not all, eukaryotes. Each mitochondrion is surrounded by a double limiting membrane. The inner membrane is highly invaginated, and its projections are called cristae. Mitochondria are the sites of the reactions of oxidative phosphorylation, which result in the formation of ATP. They contain distinctive RIBOSOMES, transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER); AMINO ACYL T RNA SYNTHETASES; and elongation and termination factors. Mitochondria depend upon genes within the nucleus of the cells in which they reside for many essential messenger RNAs (RNA, MESSENGER). Mitochondria are believed to have arisen from aerobic bacteria that established a symbiotic relationship with primitive protoeukaryotes.

D009538 Nicotine Nicotine is highly toxic alkaloid. It is the prototypical agonist at nicotinic cholinergic receptors where it dramatically stimulates neurons and ultimately blocks synaptic transmission. Nicotine is also important medically because of its presence in tobacco smoke. Nicotine Bitartrate,Nicotine Tartrate
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D052638 Particulate Matter Particles of any solid substance, generally under 30 microns in size, often noted as PM30. There is special concern with PM1 which can get down to PULMONARY ALVEOLI and induce MACROPHAGE ACTIVATION and PHAGOCYTOSIS leading to FOREIGN BODY REACTION and LUNG DISEASES.
