ABSTRACT
The human lymphoblastoid cell line TK6 stands out as the most widely employed human cell line in genotoxicity testing, as recommended by various testing guidelines for in vitro assessments. Nevertheless, like many testing cell lines, TK6 lacks functional phase I drug-metabolizing enzymes crucial for chemical genotoxicity evaluations. This protocol introduces a lentivirus-based methodology for establishing a panel of TK6-derived cell lines, each expressing one of 14 cytochrome P450s (CYP1A1, CYP1A2, CYP1B1, CYP2A6, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C18, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP2E1, CYP3A4, CYP3A5, and CYP3A7). The utilization of a lentiviral expression system ensures stable transduction, offering notable advantages such as sustained transgene expression, high transduction efficiency, positive selection feasibility, and user-friendly application. Additionally, we present a detailed procedure for validating the enhanced expression of each CYP in the established cell lines through real-time PCR, western blotting, and mass spectrometry analysis. Lastly, we exemplify the application of these CYP-expressing TK6 cell lines in genotoxicity testing, employing a flow-cytometry-based in vitro micronucleus test. Published 2024.
