Some drugs may be limited in their clinical application due to their propensity towards their adverse effects. Toxicogenomic technology represents a useful approach for evaluating the toxic properties of new drug candidates early in the drug discovery process. Nitrofurantoin (NF) is clinical chemotherapeutic agent and antimicrobial and used to treatment of urinary tract infections. However, NF has been shown to result in pulmonary toxic effects. In this research, we revealed the changing expression gene profiles in BEAS-2B, human bronchial epithelial cell line, exposed to NF by using human oligonucleotide chip. Through the clustering analysis of gene expression profiles, we identified 136 up-regulated genes and 379 down-regulated genes changed by more than 2-fold by NF. This study identifies several interesting targets and functions in relation to NF-induced toxicity through a gene ontology analysis method including biological process, cellular components, molecular function and KEGG pathway.
