Abstract
Oxidative stress has been known to be involved in the mechanism of toxic effects of various agents on many cellular systems. In this study we investigated the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD)-induced neuronal cell toxicity using SK-N-SH human neuroblastoma cells. TCDD inhibited proliferation of the cells in a dose-dependent manner, which was revealed by MTT staining, counting of cells stained with trypan blue and [3H]thymidine uptake assay. TCDD also suppressed the basal generation of ROS in a time- and concentration-dependent manner assessed by 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein fluorescence. In addition, TCDD induced a dose-dependent inhibition of lipid peroxidation, a biomarker of oxidative stress, whereas it significantly increased the level of glutathione (GSH), an intracellular free radical scavenger in the cells. Moreover, TCDD altered the activities of major antioxidant enzymes; increase in superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase, but decrease in glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and glutathione reductase (GSH-Red). Pretreatment with L-buthionine-S,R-sulfoximine (BSO, 50 microM), an inhibitor of GSH synthesis, significantly prevented the TCDD-induced reduction in lipid peroxidation and cell proliferation. Interestingly, exogenous application of an oxidant, H2O2 (50 microM) markedly restored the inhibited cell proliferation induced by TCDD. Taken together, these results suggest that alteration of cellular redox balance may mediate the TCDD-induced inhibition of proliferation in human neuronal cells.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
