摘要
The toxicity of 3-methylindole, 1-nitronaphthalene and paraquat has been studied in precision-cut rat lung slice cultures. Lung slices were prepared from male Sprague-Dawley rats using an agarose gel instilling technique with a Krumdieck tissue slicer and cultured for 24 h in a dynamic organ culture system. Treatment of rat lung slices with 3-methylindole, 1-nitronaphthalene or paraquat produced concentration dependent decreases in lung slice protein synthesis and potassium content. EC50 values (concentration to produce a 50% inhibition) for protein synthesis were 0.024, 0.27 and 0.57 mM for paraquat, 1-nitronaphthalene and 3-methylindole, respectively. These results demonstrate that precision-cut lung slices are a useful in vitro model system for studying the pulmonary toxicity of xenobiotics. Lung slices offer the potential as a rapid in vitro screen for identifying pulmonary toxicants and to evaluate species differences in response.
