The oral epithelium is the first site of exposure and our recent work revealed considerable diversity among e-liquids for composition and level of chemical constituents that impact nicotine deposition in a human oral-trachea cast and affect the formation of reactive carbonyls. Here, we evaluate the dose response for cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of e-cigarette-generated aerosols from 10 diverse flavored e-liquid products with and without nicotine compared with unflavored in 3 immortalized oral epithelial cell lines. Three e-liquids, Blue Pucker, Love Potion, and Jamestown caused \u226520% cell toxicity assessed by the neutral red uptake assay. Nine products induced significant levels of oxidative stress up to 2.4-fold quantified by the ROS-Glo assay in at least 1 cell line, with dose response seen for Love Potion with and without nicotine across all cell lines. Lipid peroxidation detected by the thiobarbituric acid reactive substances assay was less common among products; however, dose response increases up to 12-fold were seen for individual cell lines. Micronuclei formation indicative of genotoxicity was increased up to 5-fold for some products. Blue Pucker was the most genotoxic e-liquid, inducing micronuclei across all cell lines irrespective of nicotine status. A potency score derived from all assays identified Blue Pucker and Love Potion as the most hazardous e-liquids. These in vitro acute exposure studies provide new insight about the potential for some flavored vaping products to induce significant levels of oxidative stress and genotoxicity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/toxsci\/kfaa174","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,11]],"date-time":"2020-11-11T12:11:22Z","timestamp":1605096682000},"page":"220-228","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":38,"title":["Cytotoxicity and Genotoxicity of E-Cigarette Generated Aerosols Containing Diverse Flavoring Products and Nicotine in Oral Epithelial Cell Lines"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"179","author":[{"given":"Carmen S","family":"Tellez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Lung Cancer Program, Lovelace Respiratory Research Institute, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87108"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniel E","family":"Juri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lung Cancer Program, Lovelace Respiratory Research Institute, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87108"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Loryn M","family":"Phillips","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lung Cancer Program, Lovelace Respiratory Research Institute, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87108"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kieu","family":"Do","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lung Cancer Program, Lovelace Respiratory Research Institute, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87108"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christin M","family":"Yingling","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lung Cancer Program, Lovelace Respiratory Research Institute, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87108"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cindy L","family":"Thomas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lung Cancer Program, Lovelace Respiratory Research Institute, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87108"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wendy W","family":"Dye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lung Cancer Program, Lovelace Respiratory Research Institute, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87108"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guodong","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lung Cancer Program, Lovelace Respiratory Research Institute, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87108"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shosei","family":"Kishida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Biochemistry and Genetics, Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Kagoshima University, Kagoshima, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tohru","family":"Kiyono","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Exploratory Oncology Research & Clinical Trial Center, National Cancer Center, Chiba, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Steven A","family":"Belinsky","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lung Cancer Program, Lovelace Respiratory Research Institute, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87108"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021012818462381700_kfaa174-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e0117222","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0117222","article-title":"Puffing topography and nicotine intake of electronic cigarette users","volume":"10","author":"Behar","year":"2015","journal-title":"PLoS One"},{"key":"2021012818462381700_kfaa174-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"8288","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-018-25575-6","article-title":"Analytical and toxicological evaluation of flavor chemicals in electronic cigarette refill fluids","volume":"8","author":"Behar","year":"2018","journal-title":"Sci.
