Abstract
It is important to take into consideration the new fullerene derivatives genotoxicity. In the present is study, we analyzed the new water-soluble fullerene C70 (F350) effects on the human embryonic lung fibroblasts (HELF) oxidative damage and DNA breaks. We found that the studied compound causes cellular DNA damage and affects the transcriptional activity of cell cycle and cell apoptosis regulating genes.
