Antibody-based nanoprobe for measurement of a fluorescent analyte in a single cell

We report here the application of an antibody-based nanoprobe for in situ measurements of a single cell. The nanoprobe employs antibody-based receptors targeted to a fluorescent analyte, benzopyrene tetrol (BPT), a metabolite of the carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) and of the BaP-DNA adduct. Detection of BPT is of great biomedical interest, since this species can serve as a biomarker for monitoring DNA damage due to BaP exposure and for possible precancer diagnosis. The measurements were performed on the rat liver epithelial clone 9 cell line, which was used as the model cell system. Before making measurements, the cells were treated with BPT. Nanoprobes were inserted into individual cells, incubated 5 min to allow antigen-antibody binding, and then removed for fluorescence detection. We determined a concentration of 9.6+/-0.2x10(-11) M for BPT in the individual cells investigated. The results demonstrate the possibility of in situ measurements inside a single cell using an antibody-based nanoprobe.     

Induction of anchorage-independent growth in human diploid fibroblasts by the cyclopenta-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, benz[l]aceanthrylene

Cyclopenta-fused polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are a class of environmental PAH that have been recently identified. Many of these chemicals have been found to be more active than benzo[a]pyrene in tests for genetic toxicity using bacterial and rodent cells. Benz[l]aceanthrylene, a cyclopenta-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon related to benz[a]anthracene, and benzo[a]pyrene were compared for their activity to induce cytotoxicity and anchorage-independent growth with normal human diploid fibroblasts. Both benz[l]aceanthrylene and benzo[a]pyrene were relatively non-cytotoxic to normal human diploid fibroblasts. However, benz[l]aceanthrylene was twice as active compared to benzo[a]pyrene over the concentration range examined as an inducer of anchorage-independent growth. The ability of benz[l]aceanthrylene to induce anchorage-independent colony growth in normal human cells, in combination with its demonstrated ability as a mouse-skin tumorigen, suggests this PAH to be a potential multi-species carcinogen.     

Use of a copper-phthalocyanine membrane electrode for rapid preliminary detection of polycyclic mutagens

Preliminary screening of polycyclic mutagens is achieved within 20 min by using a biomimetic electrode composed of an oxygen electrode and a copper-phthalocyanine membrane. When benzo[alpha]pyrene (0.05 mM) was added to the buffer solution in the presence of 0.98 M hydrogen peroxide, the current of the phthalocyanine electrode decreased. A linear relationship was obtained between the current decrease and the benzo[alpha]pyrene concentration over the range 0.19-0.60 mM. The minimum measurable concentration for benzo[alpha]pyrene was 0.01 mM. Such responses were not obtained for other organic compounds such as alcohol, ether, n-hexane and cyclohexane. The copper-phthalocyanine membrane electrode has selectively detected polycyclic mutagens such as amino acid pyrolysis products. The current decrease was 1.18-1.46 microA when 0.05 mM amino acid pyrolysis products were employed.     

Free radicals derived from benzo[a]pyrene.

At least four different free radicals can be formed from benzo[a]pyrene under different reaction conditions, namely the 6-oxybenzo[a]pyrene radical, the benzo[a]pyrene anion and cation radicals and a radical from heated benzo[a]pyrene. The formation and esr spectra of these radicals have been studied with the aim of clarifying the nature of the radical species involved under different reaction conditions. Additionally the reactivity of the 6-oxybenzo[a]pyrene and the benzo[a]pyrene cation radicals towards several phenolic antioxidants have also been investigated.     

Mutagenicity of some methylated benzo[a]pyrene derivatives

The mutagenicity of benzo[a]pyrene (BP) and a number of methylated derivatives towards Salmonella typhimurium has been tested. The most mutagenic derivative tested was 6-methylbenzo[a]pyrene which produced about twice the number of revertants as did BP, 11-Methylbenzo[a]pyrene was slightly more mutagenic than BP. All the other compounds tested (7-, 8-, 9- and 10-methylbenzo[a]pyrene and 7,8- and 7,10-dimethylbenzo[a]pyrene) were significantly less active than benzo[a]pyrene. With the exception of 6-methylbenzo[a]pyrene, these results closely parallel the known carcinogenicity of the methylated benzo[a]pyrenes, and support the view that metabolic activation of BP may involve the 7-10 positions which are blocked in the methylated compounds.     

Studies of DNA-strand induced in human fibroblasts by chemical mutagens/carcinogens.

A method for the study of DNA-strand breaks using alkaline denaturation followed by hydroxylapatite chromatography has been modified and used for the detection of chemically induced DNA-strand breaks. A new procedure for the incubation of human fibroblasts with a metabolizing system and the detection of DNA-strans breaks is presented. With this method the induction and repair of DNA-strand breaks have been studied in human fibroblasts exposed to methyl methanesulphonate, melphalan, benzo[a]pyrene and cyclophosphamide. These agents all give rise to DNA-strand breaks. In cells exposed to methyl methanesulphonate, melphalan or benzo[a]pyrene these breaks disappeared within 21 h after re moval of the drug. In cells exposed to the bifunctional alkylating agent cyclophosphamide, studies of DNA-strand breaks suggest the presence of inter-strand cross links.     

Metabolism and binding of benzo[a]pyrene in randomly-proliferating,confluent and s-phase human skin fibroblasts

The metabolism of benzo[a]pyrene in randomly proliferating and confluent cultures of human skin fibroblast cells was compared with cell cultures in early S phase of the cell cycle after a G1 block. When each cell population was exposed to [G-³H]benzo[a]pyrene for 24 hours and the organic soluble metabolites in the extracellular medium and intracellular components were analyzed by HPLC, a quantitative increase in metabolism was observed in the confluent cell populations. The amount of organic soluble metabolites in the extracellular medium of the confluent dense cultures was 2.7 times the amount found in randomly proliferating cultures and 1.5 times that of the synchronized cultures. The trans-7,8- and 9,10 dihydrodiols and 3-hydroxy benzo[a]pyrene were the major metabolites formed. Small amounts of the sulphate conjugate, 9-hydroxy-benzo[a]pyrene and the tetrols were also detected. Cytoplasmic as well as nuclear extracts from the confluent cell cultures also contained higher amounts of metabolites compared to those from the randomly proliferating and S-phase cells. The levels of DNA modification by metabolically activated benzo[a]pyrene did not differ among the randomly proliferating, confluent and S-phase cells. However, the S-phase cells exhibited approximately 50-fold increase in the frequency of transformation compared to the randomly proliferating cells. Confluent cells were not transformed by benzo[a]pyrene. These data suggest that factors other than random modification of DNA by the carcinogen might have a significant role in the expression of a transformed phenotype and that metabolism and transformation are not directly related. Furthermore, confluent dense cultures with a heightened capability for metabolism of benzo[a]pyrene were more active in the detoxification of benzo[a]pyrene than in the production of the metabolites associated with cellular transformation.Abbreviations BaP benzo[a]pyrene - BaP-4,5-diol trans-4,5 dihydroxy-4,5-dihydrobenzo[a]pyrene - BaP-7,8-diol trans-7,8-dihydroxy-7,8-dihydrobenzo[a]pyrene - Bap-9,10-diol trans-9,10-dihydroxy-9,10 dihydrobenzo[a]pyrene - CM complete medium - HNF human neonatal foreskin - HPLC high pressure liquid chromatography - PAH polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon - PDL population doubling - RP randomly proliferating     

Dual-label high-performance liquid chromatographic assay for femtomole levels of benzo[a]pyrene metabolites

A dual-label HPLC assay to measure femtomole quantities of ethyl acetate-extractable [3H]benzo[a]pyrene metabolites was developed. 14C-labeled metabolites of benzo[a]pyrene formed by rat liver 9000g supernatant were used as both internal standards and chromatographic markers. The percentage deviation between assays was determined to be between 11 and 13% for 9,10-dihydro-9,10-dihydroxybenzo[a]pyrene, 7,8-dihydro-7,8-dihydroxybenzo[a]pyrene, benzo[a]pyrene-3,6-quinone, benzo[a]pyrene-1,6-quinone, and 9-hydroxybenzo[a]pyrene, 22% for 4,5-dihydro-4,5-dihydroxybenzo[a]pyrene, and less than 5% for 3-hydroxybenzo[a]pyrene. The detection limit of this assay was between 3 and 10 fmol per metabolite. The application of this technique to the metabolism of [3H]benzo[a]pyrene by microsomes of hamster and human oral cavity tissue is described.     

A simple radioisotope assay for microsomal aryl hydroxylase

A radioassay for liver microsomal aryl hydroxlase activity has been devised which depends on the liberation of tritiated water from generally tritiated benzo[α]pyrene during hydroxylation. The quantity of tritiated water has been shown to be proportional to the amount of 3-hydroxybenzo-[α]pyrene formed. Among the advantages of the radioassay are its speed, simplicity, and the fact that it essentially provides a cumulative measure of the hydroxylation of the benzo[α]pyrene ring. Investigation of a number of variables has made it possible to assay and obtain proportional results with as little as 3 μg of rat liver microsomes. Nucleic acids, but not their component mononucleotides, have been found capable of protecting the enzyme from product inhibition, presumably by interaction with benzo[α]-pyrene oxide, the primary product of benzo[α]pyrene hydroxylation.     

Neonatal modulation of adult rat hepatic microsomal benzo[a]pyrene hydroxylase activities by Aroclor 1254 or phenobarbital

The constitutive and Aroclor 1254-induced activities of hepatic microsomal benzo[a]pyrene hydroxylases in male and female rats were determined in animals from ages 11 to 120 days. In 11-day-old noninduced male rats, benzo[a]pyrenediones and 9-hydroxybenzo[a]pyrene were the major microsomal metabolites; in 21-day-old males benzo[a]pyrene-diones and benzo[a]pyrene-9,10-dihydrodiol were predominant. In 60- and 120-day-old animals 3-hydroxybenzo[a]pyrene was the major microsomal metabolite. A similar trend was observed for the development of benzo[a]pyrene hydroxylase activities in female rats. With the exception of 4,5-dihydrodiol formation, the highest induction of individual and total benzo[a]pyrene hydroxylase activities by Aroclor 1254 was observed in the 21-day-old immature male rats, in which there was a 330- and 4.5-fold increase in the formation of 3-hydroxybenzo[a]pyrene and quinone metabolites, respectively. The induction of benzo[a]pyrene total metabolite formation by Aroclor 1254 in female rats from 11 to 120 days of age was relatively constant (i.e., 13.3- to 10.1-fold induction); however, the relative induction of the individual benzo[a]pyrene hydroxylases was highly variable. In a second set of experiments, male and female rats were neonatally exposed to phenobarbital (600 mumol/kg) or Aroclor 1254 (100 mumol/kg), and the effects of these xenobiotics on neonatal imprinting of hepatic microsomal benzo[a]pyrene hydroxylase activities were determined in the 120-day-old animals.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Importance of the route of administration for genetic differences in benzo[a]pyrene-induced in utero toxicity and teratogenicity

C57BL/6N (Ahb/Ahb) mice have a high-affinity Ah receptor in tissues, whereas AKR/J and DBA/2N (Ahd/Ahd) mice have a poor-affinity Ah receptor. The cytochrome P1-450 induction response (enhanced benzo[a]pyrene metabolism) occurs much more readily in Ahb/Ahb and Ahb/Ahd than in Ahd/Ahd mice, at any given dose of the inducer benzo[a]pyrene. Embryos from the AKR/J X (C57BL/6N)(AKR/J)F1 and the reciprocal backcross were studied during benzo[a]pyrene feeding of the pregnant females. Oral benzo[a]pyrene (120 mg/kg/day) given to pregnant Ahd/Ahd mice between gestational day 2 and 10 produces more intrauterine toxicity and malformations in Ahd/Ahd than Ahb/Ahd embryos. This striking allelic difference is not seen in pregnant Ahb/Ahd mice receiving oral benzo[a]pyrene. Pharmacokinetics studies with [3H]benzo[a]pyrene in the diet and high-performance liquid chromatographic analysis of benzo[a]pyrene metabolism in vitro by the maternal intestine, liver, and ovary and the embryos of control and oral benzo[a]pyrene-treated pregnant females are consistent with "first-pass elimination" kinetics and differences in benzo[a]pyrene metabolism by the embryos and/or placentas versus maternal tissues. In the pregnant Ahd/Ahd mouse receiving oral benzo[a]pyrene, little induction of benzo[a]pyrene metabolism occurs in her intestine and liver; this leads to much larger amounts of benzo[a]pyrene reaching her embryos, and genetic differences in toxicity and teratogenesis are manifest. In the pregnant Ahb/Ahd mouse receiving oral benzo[a]pyrene, benzo[a]pyrene metabolism is greatly enhanced in her intestine and liver; this leads to less benzo[a]pyrene reaching her embryos, much less intrauterine toxicity and malformations, and no genetic differences are manifest. More toxic metabolites (especially benzo[a]pyrene 1,6- and 3,6-quinones) are shown to occur in Ahd/Ahd embryos than in Ahb/Ahd embryos. In additional studies, no prenatal or neonatal "imprinting" effect in C57BL/6N mice by 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin or Aroclor 1254 on benzo[a]pyrene metabolism later in life was detectable. These genetic differences in intrauterine toxicity and teratogenicity induced by oral benzo[a]pyrene are just opposite those induced by intraperitoneal benzo[a]pyrene [Shum et al., '79; Hoshino et al., '81). The data in the present report emphasize the importance of the route of administration when the teratogen induces its own metabolism.     

Electron microscopic visualization of DNA single strand breaks

DNA single strand breaks (ssb) have been induced in FLC/C cells in culture. They have been visualized in the electron microscope after decoration with biotin-avidin-ferritin complexes and spreading as monomolecular mixed films. This allowed one to determine the average number of decorated ssbs per unit of DNA length applying straight-forward and simple evaluation methods. This method has been used to investigate the DNA alterations by benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) on FLC/C culture cells. Thus a B[a]P-DNA damage curve can be constructed as a regression with a correlation coefficient of r = 0.97, while its isomer benzo[e]pyrene (B[e]P) known to have only low mutagenicity under the same experimental conditions is virtually without effect. The method has further informational potential regarding damage distribution and repair of DNA.     

Characteristics of binding and transport of benzo(a)pyrene by blood serum lipoproteins

Binding and distribution of 3H-benzo[a]pyrene in lipoprotein fraction of rat blood serum were studied. The binding was enhanced in the row: LDL, VLDL, HDL, Kd lipoprotein-benzo[a]pyrene complexes had been calculated by means of tryptophan fluorescence quenching. It was found, that Kd value benzo[a]pyrene complexes with VLD was 1.5 x 10(-6) M, with LDL -6.6 x 10(-7) M and with HDL -4.2 x 10(-6) M. Radiolabeled benzo[a]pyrene uptake by rat organs and tissues was investigated after i.v. injection of benzo[a]pyrene-complexes with LP of different classes. High uptake activity was revealed for liver, adrenals and kidneys, whereas heart, spleen, thymus were characterized by low 3H-benzo[a]pyrene accumulation. Radioactivity distribution pattern was depended on the class of LP used for complexation. Ours data permit to evaluate the participation of lipoproteins in transport and metabolic pathways of xenobiotics in organism.     

Bacterial mutagenicity of two cyclopentafused isomers of benzpyrene

Two novel cyclopentafused polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, naphtho(1,2,3-mno)acephenanthrylene (cyclopenta benzo[e]pyrene) and naphtho(2,1,8-hij)acephenanthrylene (cyclopenta(ij)benzo[a]pyrene) were evaluated for mutagenic activity in the Ames Salmonella typhimurium plate incorporation assay. Both compounds required S9 metabolic activation, and showed optimal activity at low S9 concentrations (below 0.6 mg/plate). Both compounds induced frameshift and base-pair substitution mutations, being active in strains TA98, TA100, TA1537, TA1538 and TA104, but not in strain TA1535. Cyclopenta(ij)benzo[a]pyrene was more active than cyclopentabenzo[e]pyrene, and both were more potent than their parent ring systems, benzo[a]pyrene and benzo[e]pyrene, respectively. Cyclopenta(ij)benzo[a]pyrene was more active in strain TA104 than in TA100 or TA98 (250-470, 340 and 80-100 rev/nmole) as was benzo[a]pyrene (120, 70 and 40 rev/nmole respectively); cyclopentabenzo[e]pyrene was more active in TA100 than TA104 or TA98 (70 versus 50 and 40 rev/nmole), and benzo[e]pyrene showed a similar pattern (4, 3.5 and 0.6 rev/nmole). The relative potencies of the four compounds are in accord with predictions based on perturbational molecular orbital calculations. The peak of activity at low S9 concentrations is consistent with epoxidation at the cyclopentafused ring being the major route of metabolic activation for both these cyclopentafused compounds.     

Enhancement and inhibition of benzo[a]pyrene-induced SOS function in E. coli by synthetic antioxidants

8 antioxidants were tested in the SOS chromotest for induction of SOS function and for modulation of benzo[a]pyrene-induced SOS function. None of the antioxidants leads to increased beta-galactosidase activity by itself. Butylated hydroxytoluene at concentrations between 10(-5) M and 3 X 10(-4) M enhances benzo[a]pyrene-induced SOS function at benzo[a]pyrene concentrations between 10(-6) M and 3 X 10(-5) M. Butylated hydroxyanisole, ethoxyquin, propyl gallate and octyl gallate also slightly enhance benzo[a]pyrene-induced SOS function at concentrations up to 3 X 10(-4) M though to a lesser degree than butylated hydroxytoluene. Dodecyl gallate, vitamin C and alpha-tocopherol do not increase benzo[a]pyrene action. In concentrations exceeding 3 X 10(-4) M all synthetic antioxidants tested but not vitamin C and alpha-tocopherol decrease beta-galactosidase activity both in the absence and, more extensively, in the presence of benzo[a]pyrene. Preliminary data suggest that the apparent suppression of benzo[a]pyrene-induced SOS function is not due to an effect on the formation of benzo[a]pyrene metabolites by the metabolizing system used.     

Porphinatoiron-mediated oxidation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons

Although porphinatoiron complexes have been used extensively as biomimetic catalysts for oxidation of aliphatic and olefinic hydrocarbons, few oxidations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) have been reported. In all cases, heterogeneous iodosobenzene/tetraphenylporphinatoiron(III) systems were employed, oxidations were inefficient and control experiments demonstrating the requirement for catalyst were not described. The current study investigates the oxidation of pyrene, benzo[a]pyrene and benzanthracene in a homogeneous m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid/bifacially hindered porphinatoiron system in which the peroxyacid was shown to be unreactive in the absence of catalyst. Pyrene and benzo[a]pyrene were oxidized efficiently, with pyrene yielding mixtures of 1.6- and 1.8-quinones and benzo[a]pyrene yielding mixtures of phenols and quinones. Benzanthracene was oxidized less efficiently, primarily at the meso positions, to give 7.12-quinone. Initial oxidation of meso carbons of benzo[a]pyrene (confirmed by the presence of the 6-hydroxy derivative as a product) and benzanthracene indicates that PAH-to-catalyst charge transfer may be an important oxidation pathway. Oxidation of pyrene was performed by addition of pyrene to observable oxo iron(V) species as well as in a catalytic reaction where excess peroxyacid was added to a solution of pyrene and catalyst and oxo iron(V) is not generated as an observable intermediate. Yields (based on oxidant consumed), were identical under both conditions, strongly supporting oxo iron(V) as a common intermediate.     

Profiles of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon metabolites after treatment with various inducers of microsomal rat liver monoxygenases (author's transl)

The microsomal oxidation of 12 frequently occurring environmental polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons after incubation with rat-liver microsomes has been studied and their metabolites characterized by means of gas-liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry. The method enables the detection and characterisation of phenols, diols, triols, and tetrols as trimethylsilyl ethers beside the original hydrocarbons. Moreover, the induction properties of some carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic hydrocarbons (benz[a]anthracene, pyrene, chrysene, benzo[a]-pyrene, benzo[e]pyrene, benzo[b]fluoranthene, benzo[j]fluoranthene, benzo[k]fluoranthene) have been studied. Except pyrene and benzo[e]pyrene, all compounds investigated significant but different induction factors. The relevance of the induction for an estimation of the biological effect of environmental polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons is discussed.     

Hydrocarbon-metabolizing activity of various mammalian cells in culture

Summary Two methods for determining the hydrocarbon-metabolizing enzyme activity of cultured mammalian cells were compared. The method designed to measure benzo[a]an-thracene-induced aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase activity could detect and quantify enzyme activities in low passage rodent cells, but could not reproducibly detect levels in intermediate or high passage mouse, rat, or human cells. The method designed to measure the ability of a cell to convert benzo[a]pyrene from an organic-soluble to an aqueous acetone-soluble form proved to be more reproducible. This technique, when modified, was demonstrated to be an effective screening test for the detection of those lines with higher levels of hydrocarbon-metabolizing enzymes.

Mutagenicity of C24H14 PAH in human cells expressing CYP1A1

Relatively little is known about the mutagenicity of C24H14 PAH, a diverse group of five- and six-ring PAH, some of which are present at trace levels in the environment. To better understand the mutagenicity of this class of compounds, 11 C24H14 PAH, including benzo[a]perylene, benzo[b]perylene, dibenzo[a,e]fluoranthene, dibenzo[a,f]fluoranthene, dibenzo[j,l]fluoranthene, dibenzo[a,h]pyrene, dibenzo[a,i]pyrene, dibenzo[e,l]pyrene, naphtho[1,2-b]fluoranthene, naphtho[2,3-a]pyrene, and naphtho[2,3-e]pyrene, were tested in a mutagenicity assay based on human h1A1v2 cells. h1A1v2 cells are a line of human B-lymphoblastoid cells that have been engineered to express cytochrome P4501A1 (CYP1A1), an enzyme capable of metabolizing promutagenic PAH. Mutagenicity was measured at the thymidine kinase (tk) locus following a 72-h exposure period. Our results show that nine of the compounds were mutagenic. Benzo[a]perylene, dibenzo[a,e]fluoranthene, dibenzo[a,i]pyrene, and naphtho[2,3-a]pyrene were the most potent mutagens, having minimum mutagenic concentrations (MMC) (i.e., the dose at which the induced response was twice that of the negative controls) in the 1-5 ng/ml range. Benzo[b]perylene, dibenzo[a,h]pyrene, dibenzo[a,f]fluoranthene, and naphtho[2,3-e]pyrene were somewhat less potent mutagens, having MMC in the 10-30 ng/ml range. Dibenzo[e,l]pyrene, which had an MMC of 280 ng/ml, was the least potent mutagen. Dibenzo[j,l]fluoranthene and naphtho[1,2-b]fluoranthene were not mutagenic at the doses tested (1-3000 ng/ml). The most mutagenic compounds were also quite toxic. At the highest doses tested, benzo[a]perylene, dibenzo[a,e]fluoranthene, dibenzo[a,i]pyrene, dibenzo[a,h]pyrene, and dibenzo[a,f]fluoranthene induced > 60% killing, and naphtho[2,3-a]pyrene and naphtho[2,3-e]pyrene induced > 50% killing. Benzo[b]perylene, dibenzo[e,l]pyrene, dibenzo[j,l]fluoranthene, and naphtho[1,2-b]fluoranthene induced < 50% killing at the highest doses tested. Comparing these results to a previous study in which nine other C24H14 PAH were tested for mutagenicity in this same assay, it was found that dibenzo[a]pyrene isomers were generally more mutagenic than the other groups of C24H14 PAH tested. These observations are discussed with emphasis given to identifying C24H14 PAH that may be important environmental mutagens.     

Origins of stereospecificity in DNA damage by anti-benzo[a]pyrene diol-epoxides. A molecular modelling study

A general computational procedure for the modelling of intercalated DNA-ligand complexes has been developed, and is used here to model intercalated complexes of the (+)-anti and (-)-anti enantiomers of benzo[a]pyrene diol-epoxide (BPDE) with cytosine-3',5'-guanosine double-stranded DNA sequences (dCpG). Results are presented indicating differences between the behaviours of the two enantiomers which have implications for the understanding of the stereospecificity of DNA strand breakage by benzo[a]pyrene diol-epoxides.
