The objective of this study was to determine the effect of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), an abundant environmental polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon compound, on the pathogenesis of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). Earlier studies have shown that BaP promotes vasculopathy, including atherosclerosis, a predisposing factor for AAA development. In two experimental arms, 203 apolipoprotein E knockout (ApoE-/-) mice were evaluated in 4 groups: BaP, angiotensin II (AngII), BaP+AngII and control. Mice in the first arm were exposed to 5mg/kg/week of BaP for 42 days, and in the second arm to 0.71mg/kg daily for 60 days. In arm one, AAA incidence was higher in the BaP+AngII (14/28) versus AngII (8/27) group (p < 0.05), rupture (n=3) was observed only in BaP+AngII treated mice (p < 0.05). In the second arm, AAA incidence did not differ between AngII (17/30) and BaP+AngII (16/29) groups. However, intact AAA diameter was larger in the BaP+AngII (2.3 ± 0.1mm) versus AngII (1.9 ± 0.1mm) group (p < 0.05), but AAA rupture did not differ (p=NS). In both experimental arms, BaP+AngII mice showed increased expression of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), cyclophilin A (Cyp A), and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9) (p < 0.05). No AAA occurred in control or BaP groups. These findings suggest the role of BaP exposure in potentiating AAA pathogenesis, which may have potential public health significance. 相似文献

Lipid peroxidation, antioxidant enzymes, and benzo[a]pyrene-quinones in the blood of rats treated with benzo[a]pyrene 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The lipid peroxidation (as malondialdehyde, MDA), activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT), and benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) metabolites were investigated in sera and erythrocytes of male Sprague-Dawley rats treated with BaP (20 mg per rat). MDA levels were significantly increased in sera (16.98+/-3.29 nmol/ml serum, P<0.05) 12 h after BaP treatment and persisted up to 96 h (13.80+/-1. 65 nmol/ml serum, P<0.05), but no significant change in NIDA levels was observed in erythrocytes. SOD and CAT activities were significantly increased in erythrocytes shortly after BaP exposure, and they were slightly decreased in sera, indicating an inverse correlation between lipid peroxidation and antioxidant enzyme activity. BaP and BaP-quinones (BaP-1,6-quinone and BaP-3,6-quinone) were measured in sera during the study period. A rapid increase of unmetabolized BaP was observed in sera (41.27+/-4.14 pmol/ml serum) 3 h after BaP treatment, reaching a peak at 6 h (48.56+/-4.62 pmol/ml serum) followed by a sharp decrease. Formation of the BaP-1, 6-quinone and BaP-3,6-quinone started in sera 3 h after BaP treatment, reached a peak at 24 h (7.23+/-1.02 pmol/ml serum) and 12 h (9.20+/-0.98 pmol/ml serum), respectively, and then decreased gradually. The time-dependent pattern of serum lipid peroxidation and the level of erythrocyte antioxidant enzymes were shown to be related to the concentrations of the BaP-quinone metabolites. These results suggest that BaP treatment, probably via the formation of BaP-quinones, oxidatively altered lipids and antioxidant enzymes in the blood, and might be associated with BaP-related vascular toxicity including carcinogenesis. 相似文献

Although Benzo[a]Pyrene (BaP) released to soils tends to bind very strongly to soil particles, however, small amounts have been shown to leach into groundwaters. This polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon is stable and can stay (and travel) in the environment for an extended period of time. Release of BaP into the environment therefore causes concern at a global environmental level. In this paper we evaluated the effect of BaP on the cell growth of Escherichia coli and Enterococcus faecalis in aerobic conditions. Irradiation of BaP increased its antibacterial activity which suggests that this process produced a singlet oxygen. This way would be able to speed up the processes of photochemical degradation of BaP. 相似文献

Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) is a ubiquitous environmental pollutant with potential carcinogenicity. It has been shown that BaP, upon UVA irradiation, synergistically induced oxidative DNA damage, but other DNA damage was not confirmed. In this study, we examined whether coexposure to BaP plus UVA induces double strand breaks (DSBs) using xrs-5 cells, deficient in the repair of DSBs (Ku80 mutant), and whether Ku translocates involving the formation of DSBs. BaP plus UVA had a significant cytotoxic effect on CHO-K1 cells and an even more drastic effect on Ku80-deficient, xrs-5 cells, suggesting that the DSBs were generated by coexposure to BaP plus UVA. The DSBs were repaired in CHO-K1 cells within 30 min, but not in xrs-5 cells, indicating the involvement of a non-homologous end joining, which needs Ku proteins. Furthermore, we succeeded in visualizing that Ku80 rapidly assembled to the exposed region, in which DSBs might be generated, and clarified that the presence of both Ku70 and Ku80 was important for their accumulation. 相似文献

Bank voles free living in a contaminated environment have been shown to be more sensitive to cadmium (Cd) toxicity than the rodents exposed to Cd under laboratory conditions. The objective of this study was to find out whether benzo(a)pyrene (BaP), a common environmental co-contaminant, increases Cd toxicity through inhibition of metallothionein (MT) synthesis-a low molecular weight protein that is considered to be primary intracellular component of the protective mechanism. For 6 weeks, the female bank voles were provided with diet containing Cd [less than 0.1 μg/g (control) and 60 μg/g dry wt.] and BaP (0, 5, and 10 μg/g dry wt.) alone or in combination. At the end of exposure period, apoptosis and analyses of MT, Cd, and zinc (Zn) in the liver and kidneys were carried out. Dietary BaP 5 μg/g did not affect but BaP 10 μg/g potentiated rather than inhibited induction of hepatic and renal MT by Cd, and diminished Cd-induced apoptosis in both organs. The hepatic and renal Zn followed a pattern similar to that of MT, attaining the highest level in the Cd + BaP 10-μg/g group. These data indicate that dietary BaP attenuates rather than exacerbates Cd toxicity in bank voles, probably by potentiating MT synthesis and increasing Zn concentration in the liver and kidneys. 相似文献

14C-labeled benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) was used as a model-compound for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in order to assess the effect of photolytic pretreatment on the subsequent fate of BaP in sewage sludge and soil test systems. Photolysis was performed in methanolic solution with or without 0.1 M H2O2, under either UV light (300 nm) or natural sunlight. The presence of H2O2 greatly enhanced the rate of photolysis both with UV and with natural sunlight. Intact BaP resisted biodegradation in both test systems. Photolysis transformed BaP to polar materials that were subject to increased mineralization and binding in both biological test systems. As shown by the Ames assay, photolysis decreased the mutagenicity of BaP to test strains TA98 and TA104 only moderately. The photolysate had an increased acute toxicity and lost its need for activation by S-9 enzymes. However, during subsequent incubation in soil or sewage sludge, mutagenicity decreased rapidly by one to two orders of magnitude and acute toxicity disappeared due to the mineralization and binding of photoproducts to humic materials. Photolysis of BaP and similar PAH compounds represents a useful treatment option that could be applied to certain PAH-containing petroleum refinery sludge and to coal tar residues in order to facilitate their detoxification and environmentally safe disposal. 相似文献

Metabolism of mutagenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by photosynthetic algal species 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) known to produce carcinogenic and mutagenic effects have been shown to contaminate waters, sediments and soils. While it is accepted that metabolites of these compounds are responsible for most of their biological effects in mammals, their metabolism, and to a large extent their bioactivity, in aquatic plants have not been explored. Cultures of photosynthetic algal species were assayed for their ability to metabolize benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), a carcinogenic PAH under conditions which either permitted (white light) or disallowed (gold light) photooxidation of the compound. Growth of Selenastrum capricornutum, a fresh-water green alga, was completely inhibited when incubated in white light with 160 micrograms BaP/l medium. By contrast concentrations at the upper limit of BaP solubility in aqueous medium had no effect on algal growth when gold light was used. BaP quinones and phenol derivatives were found to inhibit growth of Selenastrum under white light incubation. BaP phototoxicity and metabolism were observed to be species-specific. All 3 tested species of the order Chlorococcales were growth-inhibited by BaP in white light whereas neither the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii nor a blue-green, a yellow-green or an euglenoid alga responded in this fashion. Assays of radiolabeled BaP metabolism in Selenastrum showed that the majority of radioactivity associated with BaP was found in media as opposed to algal cell pellets, that the extent of metabolism was BaP concentration dependent, and that the proportion of various metabolites detected was a function of the light source. After gold light incubation, BaP diols predominated while after white light treatment at equal BaP concentrations, the 3,6-quinone was found in the highest concentration. Extracted material from algal cell pellets and from media was tested for mutagenicity in a forward mutation suspension assay in Salmonella typhimurium using resistance to 8-azaguanine for selection. Direct-acting mutagens were detected in extracted media from incubation of Selenastrum with 400 micrograms BaP/l for 1 day in gold light. Extracts of media from algae incubated in gold light from 1 to 4 days with 1200 micrograms BaP/l were found to have direct-acting mutagens as well as those requiring further metabolism. Media extracts from white light incubations of BaP were mutagenic upon addition of rat liver homogenates. Activity of these materials from white light treatment are largely attributable to unmetabolized BaP. 相似文献

The kinetics of penetration and metabolism of BaP, BACs, DB(a,h)ACs and DB(c,g)Cs in the skin of hairless mice was studied. The relative fluorescence intensities were measured during three hours after applying 10 nmoles of the compound to the interscapular region of the mice. By using a kinetical model which combines a non-steady diffusion of a hydrocarbon through the stratum corneum and the metabolic oxidation by epidermal cells, the rate constants for the two processes were calculated. It has been shown that B(a)AC, B(c)AC and 12-MB(a)AC penetrate into the skin and are oxidized by epidermal cells more efficiently than BaP. In contrast, alkyl-DB(a,h)ACs (except 14-MDB(a,h)AC) show a great stability in the mouse skin. The carcinogenic BaP, 7-MB(c)AC and DB(a,h)AC have average rates of elimination from the skin. 相似文献

This study was undertaken to investigate the genotoxic interactions between the common environmental pollutants: arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd) and benzo(a)pyrene (BaP), which are known to be human carcinogens. C57BL/6J/Han mice were pre-treated with 100mg cadmium chloride (Cd(2+))/L or 50mg sodium arsenite (As(3+))/L in drinking water for 7 days and then given a single dose of 200mg BaP/kg bw by intra-peritoneal injection. A third group of mice did not receive the pre-treatment and was given BaP alone. Mice were sacrificed before or at 12, 24, 48 or 72h after BaP administration. Chromosome damage in bone-marrow cells was assessed by use of the micronucleus test. The study revealed that BaP induced a statistically significant increase in micronucleus (MN) frequency at 48h after administration. In animals exposed to Cd in drinking water no enhancement of genotoxicity was observed compared with the control group that was given tap water only. In Cd/BaP co-exposed animals, the MN frequency at respective time points did not differ from that for the animals exposed solely to BaP. A statistically higher MN frequency was found in bone marrow of animals exposed to As compared with controls that received tap water (0.92+/-0.29% versus 0.38+/-0.13%, respectively). This effect was even more pronounced after combined exposure to As and BaP. In the co-exposed animals, significantly elevated levels of MN were detected in samples examined at 12, 24 and 48h after BaP administration, compared with animals receiving BaP alone (1.14+/-0.31%, 1.26+/-0.3% and 2.02+/-0.45% versus 0.44+/-0.13%, 0.44+/-0.11% and 1.04+/-0.44%, respectively). These findings imply strong interactions between As and BaP, but not between Cd and BaP, in inducing DNA damage in polychromatic erythrocytes in mouse bone-marrow. 相似文献

Benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) is a ubiquitously distributed environmental pollutant and known carcinogen, which can induce malignant transformation in rodent and human cells. Poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG), the primary enzyme that catalyzes the degradation of poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR), has been known to play an important role in regulating DNA damage repair and maintaining genomic stability. Although PARG has been shown to be a downstream effector of BaP, the role of PARG in BaP induced carcinogenesis remains unclear. In this study, we used the PARG-deficient human bronchial epithelial cell line (shPARG) as a model to examine how PARG contributed to the carcinogenesis induced by chronic BaP exposure under various concentrations (0, 10, 20 and 40 μM). Our results showed that PARG silencing dramatically reduced DNA damages, chromosome abnormalities, and micronuclei formations in the PARG-deficient human bronchial epithelial cells compared to the control cells (16HBE cells). Meanwhile, the wound healing assay showed that PARG silencing significantly inhibited BaP-induced cell migration. Furthermore, silencing of PARG significantly reduced the volume and weight of tumors in Balb/c nude mice injected with BaP induced transformed human bronchial epithelial cells. This was the first study that reported evidences to support an oncogenic role of PARG in BaP induced carcinogenesis, which provided a new perspective for our understanding in BaP exposure induced cancer. 相似文献

Phosphorylation of histone H2AX (termed gamma-H2AX) was recently identified as an early event after induction of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs). We have previously shown that co-exposure to benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), a wide-spread environmental carcinogen, and ultraviolet A (UVA), a major component of solar UV radiation, induced DSBs in mammalian cells. In the present study, we examined whether co-exposure to BaP and UVA generates gamma-H2AX in CHO-K1 cells. Single treatment with BaP (10(-9)-10(-7)M) or UVA ( approximately 2.4 J/cm(2)) did not result in gamma-H2AX, however, co-exposure drastically induced foci of gamma-H2AX in a dose-dependent manner. gamma-H2AX could be detected even at very low concentration of BaP (10(-9)M) plus UVA (0.6J/cm(2)), which did not change cell survival rates. NaN(3) effectively inhibited the formation of gamma-H2AX induced by co-exposure, indicating the contribution of singlet oxygen. This is the first evidence that co-exposure to BaP and UVA induced DSBs, involving gamma-H2AX. 相似文献

The mutagenic activation of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) after exposure to aorta smooth muscle cells of different origin was examined. Three test systems with different genetic endpoints--sister-chromatid exchange (SCE), gene mutation at the hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (HGPRT) locus and unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS)--were used. Treatment of rat and rabbit aorta smooth muscle cells with BaP (1-6 micrograms/ml) resulted in a significant increase of SCEs, HGPRT mutations and UDS. So smooth muscle cells are capable of converting BaP to metabolites with a DNA-damaging action. In order to investigate the relation between the formation of mutagenic BaP metabolites and the susceptibility to atherosclerosis we compared the mutagenic potential of BaP using aorta smooth muscle cells of different species (rat, rabbit) and locations (thoracic and abdominal aorta). Rabbits and abdominal aortas are more susceptible to atherosclerosis than rats and thoracic aortas. The SCE, HGPRT and UDS assays revealed that smooth muscle cells of different origin possessed the same metabolic potential towards BaP. There was no correlation between the mutagenic potency of BaP metabolites and the susceptibility to atherosclerosis. As smooth muscle cells have a low metabolic capacity towards BaP, probably other factors in addition to the metabolic capacity of smooth muscle cells are responsible for species and tissue differences in susceptibility to atherosclerosis. 相似文献

The proportions of individual benzo[a]pyrene (BaP)-DNA adducts present in rodent embryo cell cultures change with the length of time of exposure to BaP; the major alteration is an increase in the proportion of (+)-anti-7,8-dihydroxy-9,10-epoxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydroBaP (BaPDE)-deoxyguanosine (dG) adduct (Sebti et al., Cancer Res., 45 (1984) 1594-1600). To determine if this change in the BaP-DNA adducts could result from the induction of enzymes involved in oxidation of BaP, hamster embryo cell cultures were exposed to acetone or BaP for 24 h and then the medium was replaced with fresh medium containing [3H]BaP. After 5 h the BaP-pretreated cells had a 30% higher level of binding of BaP to DNA and formed a greater proportion of (+)-anti-BaPE-dG adduct than the acetone-pretreated control group. Cells pretreated for 24 h with BaP and then exposed to [3H]BaP and Actinomycin D for 5 h had a lower level of binding of BaP to DNA and a lower amount of (+)-anti-BaPDE-deoxyguanosine adduct than cells pretreated with acetone and exposed to [3H]BaP for 5 h. In contrast, pretreatment for 24 h with BaP plus Actinomycin D followed by a 5-h exposure to [3H]BaP resulted in a decrease in overall binding of BaP to DNA but had no effect on the amount of (+)-anti-BaPDE-deoxyguanosine adduct. Actinomycin D treatment had no significant effect on either the total amount of BaP metabolized, the formation of primary and water-soluble BaP metabolites, or cell viability, but reduced [3H]uridine incorporation into RNA by more than 65% at all times. These results suggest that induction of specific isozymes of cytochrome P-450 may be involved in the time-dependent increase in the proportion of (+)-anti-BaPDE-DNA adducts in BaP-treated cells. The state of induction of specific isozymes of cytochrome P-450 and the ability of the BaP dose applied to induce them may be major factors in determining the proportion of BaP metabolized to (+)-anti-BaPDE, the most carcinogenic stereoisomer of BaPDE. 相似文献

Previously, we have shown that green tea extract (GTE) lowers the intestinal absorption of lipids and lipophilic compounds in rats. This study was conducted to investigate whether GTE inhibits the intestinal absorption and biliary secretion of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), an extremely lipophilic potent carcinogen, present in foods as a contaminant. Male rats with lymph or bile duct cannula were infused at 3.0 ml/h for 8 h via a duodenal catheter with lipid emulsion containing (14)C-BaP with or without GTE in PBS buffer. Lymph and bile were collected hourly for 8 h. The (14)C-radioactivities in lymph, bile and intestine were determined and expressed as % dose infused. Results showed that GTE drastically lowered the lymphatic absorption of (14)C-BaP (7.6±3.2% in GTE-infused vs. 14.4±2.7% dose/8 h in control rats), with a significantly higher amount of (14)C-radioactivity present in the small intestinal lumen and cecum in rats infused with GTE. GTE also markedly increased the hourly rate (3.9±0.1% dose/h in GTE-infused vs. 3.0±0.1% dose/h in control rats) and the total biliary secretion of (14)C-BaP (31.5±0.8% dose/8 h in GTE-infused vs. 24.3±0.4% dose/8 h in control rats). The findings provide first direct evidence that GTE has a profound inhibitory effect on the intestinal absorption of BaP and promotes the excretion of absorbed BaP via the biliary route. Further studies are warranted to investigate whether green tea could be recommended as a dietary means of ameliorating the toxicity and carcinogenic effect of BaP. 相似文献
