The oxidation state of intracellular chromium has been determined directly in mammalian lung cells exposed to mutagenic and carcinogenic chromium compounds. Microprobe X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) experiments on single V79 Chinese hamster lung cells showed that Cr(VI) and Cr(V) complexes were reduced completely (>90%) to Cr(III) within 4 h of exposure of the cells. This result provides direct evidence for the hypothesis that these genotoxic oxidants react rapidly with intracellular reductants.
在暴露于致突变和致癌铬化合物的哺乳动物肺细胞中,已直接测定了细胞内铬的氧化态。对单个V79中国仓鼠肺细胞进行的微探针X射线吸收光谱(XAS)实验表明,在细胞暴露后4小时内,Cr(VI)和Cr(V)络合物完全(>90%)还原为Cr(III)。这一结果为这些基因毒性氧化剂与细胞内还原剂快速反应的假说提供了直接证据。
