ABSTRACT
In vitro studies have been widely used to support the toxicological evaluation of chemicals and complex mixtures including cigarette smoke. In this study, the total particulate matter and whole aerosol from a Kentucky reference 3R4F cigarette and two commercially available tobacco heating products (THPs) were assessed using in vitro mutagenicity, cytotoxicity and tumour-promoting activity assays. The Ames assay assessed mutagenicity using Salmonella typhimurium tester strains TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and TA102 ± metabolic activation (S9). The mouse lymphoma assay was used with short 3 h and longer 24 h exposures. The Bhas 42 cell transformation assay was incorporated as an in vitro alternative for detecting tumour promoters, and the neutral red uptake cell viability assay provided an acute measure of cytotoxicity. To complement the approach, the Ames assay was also employed with S. typhimurium tester strains TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA97 and TA102 using a scaled down methodology for the assessment of aerosols. All the in vitro techniques employed produced a clear positive response with cigarette smoke and in contrast, a negative response to THPs at doses equivalent to or higher than a cigarette smoke test matrix. The data show little difference between the THPs assessed suggesting parity between products.
