Induction of hepatic microsomal mono-oxygenase species after administration of various xenobiotics is a well-documented phenomenon. To examine the number and specific species of rat liver microsomal membrane polypeptides involved in such responses, we have used sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis to analyse microsomal fractions from animals treated with a number of important xenobiotics. The following are the principal points to have emerged from this study. 1. A minimum of twelve electrophoretically distinct patterns of induction of haemopolypeptides and other polypeptides could be distinguished after administration, either singly or in certain combinations, of phenobarbital, 3-methylcholanthrene, polychlorinated biphenyls, 2-acetylaminofluorene, safrole (or isosafrole), pregnenolone-16 alpha-carbonitrile and ethanol. The patterns consisted of various permutations of the amounts of eight polypeptides of 47000-56000 mol.wt., of which at least three were haemopolypeptides. The possible identities of these polypeptides, which included species of cytochrome P-450, cytochrome P-448 and epoxide hydratase, are discussed. 2. Agents (3-methylcholanthrene, benzo[a]-pyrene, polychlorinated biphenyls, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin and beta-naphthoflavone) that result in the induction of cytochrome P-448 caused a marked increase in two polypeptides of 54000 and 56000 mol.wt., whereas safrole and isosafrole induced only the former polypeptide. 3. Administration of 2-acetylaminofluorene resulted in the induction of two polypeptides; evidence is presented that suggests that one of these is a species of epoxide hydratase [cf. Levin, Lu, Thomas, Ryan, Kizer & Griffin (1978) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 75, 3240-3243] ANd that the other may be a novel haemopolypeptide. 4. The overall results emphasize the complexity of the responses exhibited by rat liver microsomal fractions to the administration of xenobiotics.  相似文献

Cytochromes P-450 and epoxide hydrolase in hamsters were studied by using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of hepatic microsomes from untreated animals and those treated with phenobarbital, 3-methylcholanthrene, beta-naphthoflavone, trans-stilbene oxide, and pregnenolone-16 alpha-carbonitrile. Coelectrophoresis with corresponding microsomes from rats and in situ peptide mapping were used to identify resolved microsomal polypeptides as cytochromes P-450 or epoxide hydrolase. Two forms of hepatic microsomal epoxide hydrolase were shown to exist in hamsters; these evidenced extensive structural homology with the corresponding enzyme in rats and were induced by the same xenobiotics. At least eight inducible polypeptides in microsomes from hamsters were tentatively identified as cytochromes P-450. Two of these were electrophoretically identical and structurally related with previously characterized forms of the enzyme in rats. Homologues of several major cytochromes P-450 induced by pregnenolone-16 alpha-carbonitrile and/or phenobarbital in the rat were apparently not present in the hamster. In most cases, putative forms of inducible cytochrome P-450 in the hamster existed at significant levels in microsomes from untreated animals whereas in rats the levels of most inducible forms of the enzyme were low in control microsomes, being more strictly dependent on xenobiotic pretreatment. In contrast with epoxide hydrolase, the molecular complexity of hepatic cytochrome P-450 seems to be comparable for rats and hamsters, but the structure and control of these hemoproteins appear to have markedly diverged.  相似文献

The genetic trait of "responsiveness," which refers to the capacity for induction of cytochrome P-448 and numerous monooxygenase activities by certain aromatic hydrocarbons, is known to segregate almost exclusively as a single autosomal dominant gene among progeny of appropriate crosses originating from the responsive C57BL/6 and the nonresponsive DBA/2 inbred mouse strains. In this report the allele for responsiveness is shown to be associated with (a) increases in the apparent KS values for metyrapone bound to reduced P-450; (b) increases in the ethylisocyanide difference ratio (deltaA455-490/deltaA430-490);(c) increases in the deltaA455-490 per mg of microsomal protein but not in the deltaA430-490 per mg of protein from the reduced P-450-ethylisocyanide complex; (d) an approximately 2-nm hypsochromic shift in the spectral maximum in the 446 nm region for the reduced P-450-metyrapone complex; (e) an approximately 2-nm hypsochromic shift of the absorption maximum in the 455 nm region, but not of the maximum in the 430 nm region, for the reduced P-450-ethylisocyanide complex; and (f) larger increases in the deltaA455-490 than in the deltaA430-490 per mg of microsomal protein for the reduced P450-ethylisocyanide complex as a function of increasing pH. All of these phenomena are felt to be associated with the genetically regulated induction of liver microsomal cytochrome P-448 by polycyclic aromatic compounds. Whereas increases in the total hepatic P-450 content appear to be expressed almost exclusively as a single autosomal dominant trait, the increase in apparent KS value for metyrapone bound to reduced P-450 appears to be expressed additively. The reason for this finding is unclear. The increase in apparent KS value for metyrapone in 3-methylcholanthrene-treated rats is known to occur even when the induction process is presumably blocked by treating the rat concomitantly with cycloheximide. Several lines of evidence in this report indicate that, although total P-450 content does not increase in C57BL/6N mice treated with 3-methylcholanthrene plus cycloheximide, hepatic P-448 induction does occur; P-448 induction does not occur in DBA/2N mice under these same conditions. These results indicate that cytochrome P-448 induction is relatively resistant to the inhibition of protein synthesis and that a responsive animal treated with 3-methylcholanthrene plus cycloheximide cannot be considered experimentally the same as a genetically nonresponsive animal treated with 3-methylcholanthrene alone.  相似文献

1. Microsomal fractions isolated from various housefly strains have been characterized with respect to multiple forms of cytochrome P-450 by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. 2. Susceptible NAIDM houseflies were pretreated with known inducers of cytochrome P-450, and their microsomal electrophoretic profiles were compared to control NAIDM microsomes, using as standards partially purified cytochrome P-450s from noninduced NAIDM houseflies. 3. Tentatively, at least five different species of cytochrome P-450 may exist in the NAIDM housefly strain. 4. A comparison of the microsomal electrophoretic profile of different housefly strains also indicates the presence of at least two additional cytochrome P-450 species. 5. Induction with alpha-pinene and phenobarbital was expressed by a shift of the maximum absorbance at 452 nm in the CO-difference spectrum to lower wavelengths in the NAIDM strain; whereas, beta-naphthoflavone, although increasing the amount of cytochrome P-450, did not change the wavelength of maximum absorbance. 6. Cytochromes of the P-452 type appear to predominate in the susceptible NAIDM strain, while cytochromes of the P-450 and P-448 types predominate in resistant strains.  相似文献

The chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans are formed as trace contaminants during the synthesis of a number of commercially important chemicals. The prototype compound of this group, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), is one of the most potent low molecular weight toxins and teratogens known, and its inadvertent dispersion in the environment has caused concern about the potential hazard to human health. In studying the biochemical effects of TCDD, it was found to be extraordinarily potent as an inducer of two hepatic enzymes: 1) delta-aminolevulinic acid synthetase, the initial and rate-limiting enzyme in heme synthesis, and 2) aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase, a cytochrome P-450-mediated microsomal monooxygenase. Among a series of halogenated dibenzo-p-dioxins there is an excellent correlation between their toxic potency and their potency as inducers of these two enzymes. The administration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g., 3-methylcholanthrene (MC)) to certain inbred strains of mice induces aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase, while other inbred strains fail to respond; and the trait of aryl hydrocarbon responsiveness is inherited as an autosomal dominant. TCDD, about 30,000 times as potent as MC, induces all strains whether responsive or nonresponsive to MC; however, the responsive strains are more sensitive (ED 50 approximately 1 X 10(-9) mole/kg) to TCDD than are the nonresponsive strains (ED50 larger than or equal to 1 X 10(-8) mole/kg). The results suggest that the mutation in the nonresponsive strains results in a ligand binding site (an induction receptor) that has a diminished affinity for MC and TCDD. The correlation among the halogenated dibenzo-p-dioxins, between their potency as toxins and their potency as inducers of aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase, is discussed in relationship to various proposed mechanisms of toxicity.  相似文献

Eight different forms of cytochrome P-450 (P-450) were purified to electrophoretic homogeneity by a common procedure from liver microsomes of rats treated with phenobarbital or beta-naphthoflavone. Antibodies were prepared to seven of these forms in rabbits. The eight P-450s were distinguished by spectral properties of the ferric, ferrous, and ferrous carbonyl forms, apparent monomeric molecular weights, peptide mapping, immunological reactivity as discerned by double-diffusion immunoprecipitin analysis and crossed immunoelectrophoresis, and catalytic activities toward the substrates acetanilide, aminopyrine, aniline, benzo[a]-pyrene, d-benzphetamine, N,N-dimethylnitrosamine, 7-ethoxycoumarin, 7-ethoxyresorufin, ethylmorphine, p-nitroanisole, testosterone, and (R)- and (S)-warfarin. Crossed sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel immunoelectrophoresis was used to estimate the levels of each of the eight forms of P-450 present in the liver microsomes of untreated rats and rats treated with phenobarbital, 5,6-benzoflavone, pregnenolone-16 alpha-carbonitrile, isosafrole, or the polychlorinated biphenyl mixture Aroclor 1254. In each situation, the sum of the levels of these eight P-450s was at least as high as the spectrally determined P-450 content. The results clearly demonstrate that individual forms of P-450 can be induced by different compounds and that a single compound can lower the level of one form of P-450 while inducing one or more other forms of P-450. Catalytic activities toward each of the substrates observed with microsomal preparations are compared to rates predicted on the basis of the content of each of the eight P-450s. These studies provide a basis for further studies on the regulation of individual P-450s, the physical properties of the different P-450s, and the metabolic consequences of changes in the forms of P-450 in rat liver models.  相似文献

Hepatic microsomal azoreductase activity with amaranth (3-hydroxy-4[(4-sulfo-1-naphthalenyl)azo]-2,7-naphthalenedisulfonic acid trisodium salt) as a substrate is proportional to the levels of microsomal cytochrome P-450 from control or phenobarbital-pretreated rats and mice or cytochrome P-448 from 3-methylchol-anthrene-pretreated animals. In the "inducible" C57B/6J strain of mice, 3-methylcholanthrene and phenobarbital pretreatment cause an increase in cytochrome P-448 and P-450 levels, respectively, which is directly proportional to the increase of azoreductase activity. However, in the "noninducible" DBA/2J strain of mice, only phenobarbital treatment causes the increase both in cytochrome P-450 levels and azoreductase activity, while 3-methylcholanthrene has no effect. These experiments suggest that the P-450 type cytochromes are responsible for azoreductase activity in liver microsomes.  相似文献

1. Isolated periportal (PP) and perivenous (PV) hepatocytes from normal and inducer-treated rat livers were used to examine the following: intralobular localization of cytochrome P-450IA, P-450IIB, P-450IIE and P-450IIIA dependent monooxygenase activities and effects of phenobarbital (PB), beta-naphthoflavone (BNF) and pregnenolone-16 alpha-carbonitrile (PCN) on the zonal induction of these monooxygenases. 2. 7-Ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (7EROD), 7-pentoxyresorufin O-dealkylase (7PROD) and N-nitrosodimethylamine N-demethylase (NAND) activities of PP hepatocytes were not significantly different from those of PV hepatocytes. 3. Ethylmorphine N-demethylase (EMND) activity was significantly higher in PV hepatocytes than in PP hepatocytes of normal rats. 4. EMND activity was induced by PCN and PB treatments. The response of EMND activity to PCN treatment was higher in PP hepatocytes than that in PV hepatocytes, and as a result the PV dominance disappeared following PCN treatment. 5. Extents of the response of this activity to PB treatment were similar in PP and PV hepatocytes, and PV dominance remained unchanged even after induction.  相似文献

Nuclei and microsomes were prepared from the livers of normal, phenobarbital (PB)-treated and beta-naphthoflavone (beta-NF)-treated rats, and the contents of several enzymes in both subcellular fractions were examined. In normal rats, the enzyme activities in the nuclear fraction were about one-third of those of microsomes on a phospholipid basis. The induction of some particular enzymes by the drugs was observed with nuclei as well as with microsomes. Cytochrome P-450 and NADPH-cytochrome c reductase were increased by PB treatment and cytochrome P-448 was induced by beta-NF treatment both in nuclei and in microsomes. The extents of inhibition of nuclear enzyme activities by the antibodies against corresponding microsomal enzymes were almost the same as those of the microsomal activities. It was concluded that a microsomal type electron transport system exists in rat liver nuclei, and that nuclear drug-oxidizing activities are inducible by PB or beta-NF as their microsomal counterparts are.  相似文献

Induction of hepatic 4-methylumbelliferone UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.17) by polycyclic aromatic compounds, such as 3-methylcholanthrene or beta-naphthoflavone, occurs in C57BL/6N, A/J, PL/J, C3HeB/FeJ, and BALB/cJ but not in DBA/2N, AU/SsJ, AKR/J, or RF/J inbred strains of mice. This pattern of five responsive and five nonresponsive mouse strains parallels that of the Ah locus, which controls the induction of aryl hydrocarbon (benzo[alpha]pyrene) hydroxylase (EC 1.14.14.2). Induction of the transferase is maximal in C57BL/6N mice with 200 mg of 3-methylcholanthrene/kg body weight; no induction occurs in nonresponsive DBA/2N mice even at a dose of 400 mg/kg. The rise of inducible transferase activity lags 1 or more days behind the rise of inducible hydroxylase activity and peaks 5 days after a single dose of 3-methylcholanthrene. In offspring from the appropriate backcrosses and intercross between C57BL/6N and DBA/2N parent strains, the genetic expression of 3-methylcholanthrene-inducible transferase activity is inherited as an additive (co-dominant) trait. This expression differs distinctly from that of the inducible hydroxylase activity, which is inherited almost exclusively as a single autosomal dominant trait in these same animals. The more potent inducer 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin induces the transferase more than 3-fold in C57BL/6N mice and less than 2-fold in DBA/2N mice, whereas the hydroxylase is induced equally (about 8-fold) in both strains. A dose of 3-methylcholanthrene given 3 days after 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin, at a time when hydroxylase induction in both strains is very high, does not enhance the rise in inducible transferase activity seen in C57BL/6N or DBA/2N mice which have received 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin alone. These data indicate that (a) the inducibility of two metabolically coordinated membrane-bound enzyme activities may be regulated by a single genetic locus, and (b) although the hydroxylase can be fully induced in the nonresponsive DBA/2N strain by 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin prior to 3-methylcholanthrene treatment, metabolites of the 3-methylcholanthrene treatment, metabolites of the 3-methylcholanthrene treatment, metabolites of the 3-methylcholanthrene, presumably present in the liver, are incapable of inducing further the transferase activity. The difference in sensitivity between 3-methylcholanthrene and the more potent inducer 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin for both the hydroxylase and the transferase activities suggests the possibility of a common receptor in regulating both enzyme induction processes.  相似文献

The influence of age, sex, and hormonal status on the expression of eight rat hepatic cytochrome P-450 (P-450) isoenzymes was evaluated by both catalytic and immunochemical methods. The male specificity of P-450 2c(male)/UT-A, the major microsomal steroid 16 alpha-hydroxylase of uninduced rat liver [Waxman, D.J. (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 15481-15490], was shown to reflect its greater than or equal to 30-fold induction at puberty in male but not in female rats. The female specificity of P-450 2d(female)/UT-I was shown to reflect its developmental induction in females. P-450 PB-2a/PCN-E was shown to mediate greater than or equal to 85% of microsomal steroid 6 beta-hydroxylase activity; the male specificity of this P-450 largely reflects its developmental suppression in female rats. Neonatal gonadectomy and hormonal replacement experiments established that neonatal androgen "imprints" or programs the male rat for developmental induction of P-450 2c(male)/UT-A, for maintenance of P-450 PB-2a/PCN-E, and for suppression of P-450 2d(female)/UT-I, all of which occur in male rats at puberty. By contrast, the expressed levels of P-450 isoenzymes PB-1/PB-C, 3/UT-F, PB-4/PB-B, ISF-G, and beta NF-B were mostly unaffected by the rats' age, sex, and hormonal status. Studies on the sex specificity of P-450 induction established that the response of these latter five isoenzymes to the P-450 inducers phenobarbital, beta-naphthoflavone, pregnenolone-16 alpha-carbonitrile, and isosafrole is qualitatively and quantitatively equivalent in females as in males.  相似文献

Intraperitoneal administration of chloroquine, primaquine and quinacrine to rats resulted in inhibition of the hepatic microsomal mixed-function oxidases. The N-demethylation of benzphetamine (cytochrome P-450) was inhibited by chloroquine only while the O-deethylation of ethoxyresorufin (cytochrome P-448) was inhibited by primaquine and quinacrine. When incubated with hepatic microsomes from phenobarbital-pretreated rats, chloroquine and primaquine, but not quinacrine, caused a concentration-dependent inhibition of benzphetamine N-demethylase activity. Incubation of hepatic microsomes from beta-naphthoflavone rats with primaquine and quinacrine, but not chloroquine, resulted in a concentration-dependent inhibition of the O-deethylation of ethoxyresorufin. These observations demonstrate that chloroquine and quinacrine are specific inhibitors of cytochromes P-450 and P-448, respectively.  相似文献

Hepatic microsomal azoreductase activity in mice was induced with phenobarbital (PB) and 3-methylcholanthrene (3-MC). Antibodies against cytochrome P-450 inhibited azoreductase activity of PB-treated animals while antibodies against cytochrome P-448 inhibited liver azoreductase activity of 3-MC-treated animals, each by about 90%. These antibodies also inhibited microsomal 7-ethoxycoumarin-O-deethylase activity to the same extent. It is concluded that hepatic microsomal azoreductase activity is almost totally dependent on cytochromes P-450 and P-448 and the contribution, if any, of other microsomal components is negligible.  相似文献

Treatment of uninduced, phenobarbital and 3-methylcholanthrene induced rats with fluroxene and allyl-iso-propylacetamide decreased hepatic microsomal cytochrome P-450 and equivalently decreased microsomal heme, aniline binding and p-nitroanisole demethylase. In contrast, ethylmorpnine demethylase, benzpyrene-3-hydroxylase and ethoxyresofurin deethylase were not in all cases decreased in proportion to the loss of cytochrome P-450. After phenobarbital induction fluroxene and allyl-iso-propylacetamide degrade multiple forms of cytochrome P-450, but degrade in the greatest amounts the form(s) of cytochrome P-450 inducible by phenobarbital. After 3-methylcholanthrene induction fluroxene preferentially degrades cytochrome P-448, while allyl-iso-propylacetamide is relatively specific for the form(s) of cytochrome P-450 inducible by phenobarbital.  相似文献

The electrophoretic patterns of the polypeptides of the microsomal membrane fraction of the livers of rats treated with various agents were compared. Administration of phenobarbital, or of benzo[a]pyrene or 3-methylcholanthrene, resulted in specific increases of membrane polypeptides corresponding to cytochrome P-450 and cytochrome P-448 species respectively. Administration of 2-acetylaminofluorene, diethylnitrosamine, dimethylnitrosamine, N,N-dimethyl-4-aminoazobenzene or 3′-methyl-N,N-dimethyl-4-aminoazobenzene resulted in a marked increase of 2 other polypeptides, migrating just ahead of the phenobarbital-responsive cytochrome P-450 species. Preliminary evidence suggests that at least one of these 2 polypeptides may contain heme. The results indicate that administration of these N-containing carcinogens to rats results in a common electrophoretic pattern of induction of 2 specific microsomal membrane polypeptides. This pattern is different from those observed with classical inducers of the rat liver mixed-function oxidase system.  相似文献

The effect of liver monooxygenase system substrates upon the rate of cytochrome P-450 isoform degradation was investigated by measuring the half-life of liver microsomal proteins in C57BL/6 mice injected with phenobarbital and then 24 hours later with aminopyrine every 6 hours. The rate of phenobarbital-induced degradation of cytochrome P-450 isoform (mol weight 56000 daltons) was shown to be increased two-fold.  相似文献

Cytochrome P-450 reductase and cytochrome P-450 fractions have been separated and partially purified from colonic mucosal microsomes of rat pretreated with phenobarbital or beta-naphthoflavone. Colonic cytochrome P-450 reductase has a molecular weight of 76,000. The Km values of colonic cytochrome P-450 reductase for the artificial electron acceptors cytochrome c, ferricyanide, and dichlorophenolindophenol and the electron donor NADPH are 6, 50, 11 and 11 microM, respectively. Immunochemical techniques identified the presence of beta-naphthoflavone Forms 1, 4 and 5 after beta-naphthoflavone treatment but beta-naphthoflavone Forms 1 and 4 and phenobarbital Form 1 after phenobarbital treatment.  相似文献

In the rat, a cytosolic isozyme of aldehyde dehydrogenase, designated ALDH-PB, can be induced in the liver by administration of phenobarbital (PB). ALDH-PB activity and mRNA are induced in Long-Evans rats that possess a responsive (R) allele but are not induced in homozygous nonresponsive rats (rr), although the rr genotype is competent to induce other PB-responsive mRNAs. ALDH-PB mRNA is expressed in the basal state (without PB administration) in hepatic tissue in both RR and rr genotypes. We report the complete nucleotide sequence of the rat ALDH-PB mRNA. The protein encoded by the ALDH-PB mRNA is 501 amino acids in length and has a predicted molecular mass of 54,540 daltons. The amino acid sequence predicted from the mRNA demonstrates a strong conservation between the rat ALDH-PB and the human cytosolic aldehyde dehydrogenase hALDH-1. We demonstrate the ALDH-PB, cytochrome P-450b, cytochrome P-450e, and glutathione S-transferase Ya subunit mRNA levels in the liver are altered noncoordinately by administration of PB in RR and rr genotypes. The strikingly different responses to PB administration between the various mRNA species in each of the genotypes suggest that the regulation of specific gene expression by PB may involve multiple pathways.  相似文献

The interaction of substrates of the microsomal mixed-function oxidases with cytochromes P-450 and P-448 was investigated by using liver microsomes from rats pretreated with phenobarbital or 3-methylcholanthrene, and with purified forms of the cytochromes isolated from rabbit liver. The two forms of the cytochrome have different substrate specificities; cytochrome P-450 has one type 1 substrate-binding site that can accommodate a large variety of substrates, but in contrast cytochrome P-448 may possess two type 1 substrate-binding sites, one of which is different to that of cytochrome P-450 in that it shows a specificity for substrates such as safrole and 9-hydroxy-ellipticine. These findings explain why the two forms of the cytochrome have different substrate specificities and play contrasting roles in the activation and deactivation of xenobiotics.  相似文献
