A simple method for assessment of rat cytochrome P-448 isozymes responsible for the mutagenic activation of carcinogenic chemicals 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Cytochrome P-448H/L-enriched and cytochrome P-448L-enriched microsomes were prepared from the livers of Sprague-Dawley rats treated with 3-methylcholanthrene (MC) and with a combination of MC and carbon tetrachloride, respectively, and their activities for mediating mutagenic activation of 9 carcinogenic aromatic amines and benzo[a]pyrene, which are found to be different from cyt. P-450 isozymes as to mutagenic activation, were compared on the basis of microsomal cytochrome P-450 content using Salmonella typhimurium TA98 as a tester bacterium. With regard to the substrate-specificity of cytochrome P-448 isozymes, the present results reflected the reported results with use of a cytochrome P-450-reconstituted system. These findings indicate that the mutation test with cytochrome P-448H/L-enriched and cytochrome P-448L-enriched microsomes could be used as a simple method for the determination of the cytochrome P-448 isozymes responsible for the mutagenic activation of carcinogens and mutagens without the use of a cytochrome P-450-reconstituted system. 相似文献

Metabolic activation by several forms of purified cytochrome P-450 of aflatoxin B1 to a product(s) mutagenic to Salmonella typhimurium TA100 was examined. Of the 5 forms of cytochrome P-450 purified from liver microsomes of untreated and PCB-treated male rats, a constitutive form purified from untreated male rats, P-450-male, and a high-spin form of cytochrome P-450, P-448-H, from PCB-treated rats were highly active. 相似文献

Metabolic activation by cytochrome P-450 of glutamic acid pyrolysis products, 2-amino-6-methyldipyrido(1,2-a:3',2'-d)imidazole (Glu-P-1) and 2-amino-dipyrido(1,2,-a:3',2'-d)imidazole (Glu-P-2), to mutagenic metabolites was studied using Salmonella typhimurium TA98 as a tester strain. Cytochrome P-450, NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase and NADPH were essential requirements for the activation of these compounds. Of the four forms of cytochrome P-450 examined, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) P-448 and 3-methylcholanthrene (MC) P-448 purified from liver microsomes of rats treated with a PCB mixture and MC, respectively, showed high activity in the activation of both Glu-P-1 and Glu-P-2. The presence of three metabolites from Glu-P-1 or Glu-P-2 was demonstrated by high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) analysis. Among the metabolites of Glu-P-1, two metabolites were mutagenic without any further enzymatic activation. In accordance with the results of a mutation assay, PCB P-448 also exhibited higher activity to form the major mutagenic metabolite of Glu-P-1. The major active metabolite of Glu-P-1 was characterized as N-hydroxy-Glu-P-1 by chemical analysis using oxidizing and reducing reagents and by mass spectrometry. 相似文献

Metabolic activation of emodin in the reconstituted cytochrome P-450 system of the hepatic microsomes of rats 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Studies were undertaken to elucidate further the mechanism by which emodin, an anthraquinoid mycotoxin and constituent of rhubarb, was converted into a direct-acting mutagen to Salmonella typhimurium TA1537 by the hepatic microsomes and the reconstituted cytochrome P-450 system. Emodin was activated into a mutagenic principle(s) in the reconstituted cytochrome P-450 system, and its mutagenicity was significantly higher with the fraction II (P-448 type) than the fraction I (P-450 type) derived from the hepatic microsomes of PCB-induced rats. Thin-layer chromatographic analysis revealed that the purified cytochrome II-a (maximal CO-differential spectrum at 448.0 nm and high-spin form) activity converted emodin into 2-hydroxy-emodin, a direct-acting mutagen. 相似文献

Renal microsomes from male mice (BALB/c, DBA/2 and BALB/c x DBA/2 F1) showed about 10-fold greater activity for mediating mutagenic activation of 3-methoxy-4-aminoazobenzene (3-MeO-AAB) toward Salmonella typhimurium TA98 than did the corresponding hepatic microsomes, as compared on the basis of nmol of microsomal cytochrome P-450. On the other hand, female renal microsomes and other extrahepatic microsomes (lung, small intestine and colon) in both sexes of mice showed little or no activity for converting 3-MeO-AAB to mutagen(s). The mutagenic activation of 3-MeO-AAB with the male renal enzyme(s) was definitely inhibited by cytochrome P-450 inhibitors, 7,8-benzoflavone and SKF 525A. All these findings suggest that in mice, there is a male-specific renal 3-MeO-AAB activation enzyme(s), a cytochrome P-450 isozyme(s), which is different, at least in proportion and/or in nature, from hepatic cytochrome P-450 isozymes. 相似文献

Chromatography on 1.8-diaminooctyl-Sepharose and DEAE-Sephacel resulted in 4 fractions of cytochrome P-450 from liver microsomes of 3-methylcholanthrene-induced Wistar rats. All the four fractions differed in terms of their absorption maxima in the CO-reduced state, Mr and catalytic activity. Only one cytochrome fraction (cytochrome P-450 C) possessed a high activity upon benz(a)pyrene hydroxylation. All cytochrome P-450 forms were characterized by a low rate of aminopyrine N-demethylation. Antibodies against cytochrome P-450 C (P-448) (anti-P-448) were raised. Cytochromes of fractions A, B1 and B2 in the Ouchterlony reaction of double immunodiffusion did not give precipitation bands with anti-P-448. Neither of the four cytochrome P-450 forms interacted with the antibodies raised against cytochrome P-450 isolated from liver microsomes of rats induced with phenobarbital. The procedure developed is applicable to the isolation of multiple forms of cytochrome P-450 from liver microsomes of 3-methylcholanthrene-induced rats. Using rocket immunoelectrophoresis, cytochrome P-450 C possessing a high (as compared to benz(a)pyrene metabolism) activity (18 nmol/min/nmol cytochrome) and a high (60-70%) content in 3-methylcholanthrene-induced rat liver microsomes was shown to give a relatively high yield. 相似文献

The mutagenic activation of various promutagens by liver microsomes from dogs, monkeys and humans was investigated. Dog liver microsomes efficiently catalyzed the mutagenic activation of Trp-P-2 and Glu-P-1 followed by IQ and AAF. Monkey liver microsomes were most active in the activation of IQ followed by Glu-P-1, AAF and Trp-P-2. Although there were remarkable individual differences, human liver microsomes were found to be most active in the mutagenic activation of IQ followed by Trp-P-2, Glu-P-1 and AAF. Antibodies against rat P-448-H inhibited the mutagenic activation of Glu-P-1, Trp-P-2 and IQ in rat and dog liver microsomes, and Glu-P-1 and Trp-P-2 in monkey liver microsomes. The activation of Glu-P-1 and IQ in human liver microsomes was also strongly inhibited by anti-P-448-H antibodies. The amounts of cytochrome P-450 cross-reactive with anti-P-448-H antibodies in human liver microsomes highly correlated with the capacity to activate Glu-P-1, Trp-P-2 and IQ but not AAF. 相似文献

Male Sprague Dawley rats were injected intraperitoneally with 2-methoxy-4-amino-azobenzene (2-MeO-AAB) or 3-methylcholanthrene (MC), and then the expression of microsomal cytochrome P-450 isozymes in liver and extrahepatic tissues was investigated by means of immunological methods and a bacterial mutation test. The results of protein A-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assaying and immunoblotting using anti-rat cytochrome P-448 monoclonal antibodies showed that MC induced at least two microsomal cytochrome P-448 isozymes, a high spin form (cytochrome P-448H) and a low spin form (cytochrome P-448L), in liver, but that it induced only cytochrome P-448L in extrahepatic tissues such as lung, kidney, small intestine, and colon. The results also indicated that, in contrast to MC, 2-MeO-AAB selectively induced microsomal cytochrome P-448H in liver but did not induce any cytochrome P-448 isozymes in extrahepatic tissues. The activities of 9,000 X g supernatants from the individual organs, as to the mutagenic conversion of 3 aromatic amines (3-amino-1-methyl-5H-pyrido(4,3-b)indole, 2-amino-6-methyldipyrido(1,2-a: 3',2'-d)-imidazole and 3-methoxy-4-aminoazobenzene), toward Salmonella typhimurium TA 98 bacteria were dependent upon the quantity and/or quality of the microsomal cytochrome P-448 isozymes in the organs. 相似文献

Aldrin epoxidation was studied in monooxygenase systems reconstituted from purified rat liver microsomal cytochrome P-450 or P-448, NADPH-cytochrome c reductase, dilauroylphosphatidylcholine and sodium cholate. Cytochrome P-450, purified from hepatic microsomes of phenobarbital-treated rats, exhibited a high rate of dieldrin formation. The low enzyme activity observed in the absence of the lipid and sodium cholate was increased threefold by addition of dilauroylphosphatidylcholine and was further stimulated twofold by addition of sodium cholate. The apparent Km for aldrin in the complete system was 7 +/- 2 microM. SKF 525-A, at a concentration of 250 microM, inhibited aldrin epoxidation by 65%, whereas 7,8-benzoflavone had no inhibitory effect at concentrations up to 250 microM. Addition of ethanol markedly increased epoxidase activity. The increase was threefold in the presence of 5% ethanol. When cytochrome P-448 purified from hepatic microsomes of 3-methylcholanthrene-treated rats was used, a very low rate of epoxidation was observed which was less than 3% of the activity mediated by cytochrome P-450 under similar assay conditions. Enzyme activity was independent of the lipid factor dilauroylphosphatidylcholine. The apparent Km for aldrin was 27 +/- 7 microM. The modifiers of monooxygenase reactions, 7,8-benzoflavone, SKF 525-A and ethanol, inhibited the activity mediated by cytochrome P-448. The I50 was 0.05, 0.2 and 800 mM, respectively. These results indicate that aldrin is a highly selective substrate for cytochrome P-450 species present in microsomes of phenobarbital-treated animals and is a poor substrate for cytochrome P-448. The two forms of aldrin epoxidase can be characterised by their turnover number, their apparent Km and their sensitivity to modifiers, like 7,8-benzoflavone and ethanol. 相似文献

Hepatic microsomal cytochrome P-450 and P-448 have been purified from phenobarbital (PB)- and 3-methylcholanthrene (MC)-treated rats, by modifications of Imai and Sato's procedures )1974). The purified preparations of cytochrome P-450 and P-448 were homogeneous judging from their specific contents (17 and 16 nmol per mg protein, respectively) and the results of SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and Ouchterlony immunodiffusion analyses. These two cytochromes are different in their physico-chemical and immunological properties, and their substrate specificities. In reconstituted systems containing the purified cytochrome and NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase, ethoxycoumarin deethylation and benzo(a)pyrene hydroxylation catalyzed by cytochrome P-450 and P-448 were completely inhibited by the homologous antibody, while essentially no effect was observed with heterologous conbinations of antigen and antibody. In contrast, the benzphetamine demethylation activities of cytochrome P-450 and P-448 were markedly inhibited by the heterologous antibody as well as by the homologous one. These results suggest that the two cytochromes are immunologically different but have some antigenic determinants in common. Drug metabolizing activities of microsomes from PB- and MC-treated rats were inhibited by the antibodies, essentially as expected from the results with the reconstituted systems. The remaining activities in the presence of excess concentrations of the antibody, however, were higher in MC-microsomes treated with anti P-448 antibody than in PB microsomes treated with anti P-450 antibody. These results suggest that cytochrome P-448 molecules may be so localized in the microsomal membrane that the membrane structure may hinder the access of the antibody to the antigenic determinant. 相似文献

Cytochrome P-450d was isolated from isosafrol-induced rat liver microsomes by affinity chromatography on 1.8-diaminooctyl-Sepharose 4B and chromatography on hydroxylapatite using a linear potassium phosphate gradient (45-250 mM). The enzyme has a molecular mass of 54 kDa, CO-maximum 448 nm is characterized by a high spin state; the rate of 4-aminobiphenyl hydroxylation is 54 nmol/min/nmol of cytochrome P-450d (37 degrees C), those, of 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylation and benz (a) pyrene oxidation are 1 nmol/min/nmol of cytochrome P-450d (22 degrees C) and 2 nmol/min/nmol of cytochrome P-450d (37 degrees C), respectively. The properties of cytochrome P-450d were compared to those of cytochrome P-450c isolated from 3-methylcholanthrene-induced rats. The yield of these cytochromes under the conditions used (10% P-450d from isosafrol-induced microsomes and 15% P-450c from 3-methylcholanthrene-induced microsomes) was relatively high. Antibodies to cytochromes P-450d and P-450c were obtained. Using rocket immunoelectrophoresis the percentage of these hemoprotein forms in 3-methylcholanthrene-induced (P-450d-20%, P-450c-70%) and isosafrol-induced rat liver microsomes (P-450d-50%, P-450c-15%) was determined. 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

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

A total of nine forms of cytochrome P-450 were purified to homogeneity from liver microsomes of male Wistar rats. They were P-451 I and P-451 II from untreated rats, P-450 II and P-450 III from phenobarbital-treated rats, MC-P-448 L and MC-P-448 H from 3-methylcholanthrene-treated rats, and P-452, P-448 L, and P-448 H from 3,4,5,3',4'-pentachlorobiphenyl-treated rats. Among them, MC-P-448 L and MC-P-448 H were indistinguishable from P-448 L and P-448 H, respectively, with regard to electrophoretic, spectral, catalytic and immunochemical properties, and thus seven forms were distinct hemoproteins. The minimal molecular weight of each form was as follows: P-451 I (49,000), P-451 II (52,000), P-450 II (52,000), P-450 III (53,500), P-452 (48,000), P-448 L (56,000), P-448 H (54,000). Judging from the oxidized absolute spectra, P-448 H was a high-spin form and the others were of low-spin type. In a reconstituted system, N-demethylations of benzphetamine and aminopyrine were catalyzed by most of the forms at comparable rates. On the other hand, the activities for the oxidations of benzo[a]pyrene, 7-ethoxycoumarin, biphenyl, and estradiol-17 beta varied greatly among the forms of cytochrome P-450. The most efficient catalysts were as follows: P-448 L and P-451 II for benzo[a]pyrene 3-hydroxylation; P-448 L for 7-ethoxycoumarin O-deethylation; P-448 L, P-451 II, and P-448 H for biphenyl 4-hydroxylation; P-448 L and P-448 H for biphenyl 2-hydroxylation; and P-451 II and P-448 H for estradiol 2-hydroxylation. P-451 I, P-450 II, and P-450 III were somewhat poorer catalysts in metabolizing all the substrates except for benzphetamine and aminopyrine, but their substrate specificities were still distinguishable from one another. Of all the purified cytochrome P-450's, P-452 showed the least ability to metabolize all the substrates. Judging from the properties, it appears that six forms in male Wistar rats correspond to the distinct forms of cytochrome P-450 in Long-Evans and/or Sprague-Dawley rats reported by other workers, but P-451 I is a new constitutive isozyme in Wistar rats. 相似文献

25-hydroxylation of C27-steroids and vitamin D3 by a constitutive cytochrome P-450 from rat liver microsomes 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
A constitutive cytochrome P-450 catalyzing 25-hydroxylation of C27-steroids and vitamin D3 was purified from rat liver microsomes. The enzyme fraction contained 16 nmol of cytochrome P-450/mg of protein and showed only one protein band with a minimum molecular weight of 51,000 upon sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The purified cytochrome P-450 catalyzed 25-hydroxylation of 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha, 7 alpha-diol, 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha, 7 alpha, 12 alpha-triol, and 1 alpha-hydroxyvitamin D3 up to 50 times more efficiently, and 25-hydroxylation of vitamin D3 about 150 times more efficiently than the microsomes. The cytochrome P-450 showed no detectable 25-hydroxylase activity towards vitamin D2 and was inactive in cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylation as well as in 12 alpha- and 26-hydroxylations of C27-steroids. It catalyzed hydroxylations of testosterone and demethylation of ethylmorphine at the same rates as, or lower rates than, microsomes. The 25-hydroxylation of 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha, 7 alpha, 12 alpha-triol and vitamin D3 with the purified cytochrome P-450 was not stimulated by addition of phospholipid or cytochrome b5 to the reconstituted system. Emulgen inhibited 25-hydroxylase activity towards both substrates. The possibility that 25-hydroxylation of C27-steroids and vitamin D3 is catalyzed by the same species of cytochrome P-450 is discussed. 相似文献

Microsomal membranes from the slow-growing Morris hepatoma 9618A catalyze, in the presence of t-butyl hydroperoxide, lower rates of lipid peroxidation than rat liver microsomes. The cytochrome P-450 content of hepatoma microsomes is about 40% that of the liver. SKF 525-A, an inhibitor of mixed-function oxidase, produces in hepatoma microsomes a P-450 type I binding spectrum similar to that of hepatic microsomes. The concentration of the inhibitor required for half-maximal spectral change is about 2 microM in both microsome types. SKF 525-A or ethylmorphine inhibit lipid peroxidation of normal and tumor microsomes to the same extent (about 60%). Treatment of the tumor-bearing rats with 3-methylcholanthrene increases the hepatoma cytochrome P-450 to values comparable to those of control membranes, although the hemoprotein has a peak in the CO-reduced difference absorption spectrum at 448 nm. The cytochrome P-448 induction is accompanied by an almost complete restoration of the hydroperoxide-dependent lipid peroxidation. 相似文献

1. The cytotoxicity of N-nitrosomethylaniline (NMA) towards hepatocytes isolated from rats was prevented by acetone or ethanol (inhibitors for cytochrome P-450IIE1) but not by metyrapone or SKF525A (inhibitors for cytochrome P-450IIB1/2). Various alcohols, secondary ketones and isothiocyanates that induced cytochrome P-450IIE1 were also found to be protective. Various aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents that are substrates or inducers of cytochrome P-450IIE1 also prevented NMA cytotoxicity. Nitrogen-containing heterocycles that induced cytochrome P-450IIE1 were less effective. Further evidence that cytochrome P-450IIE1 was responsible for the activation of NMA was the marked increase in hepatocyte susceptibility if hepatocytes from pyrazole-induced rats were used. 2. NMA was more cytotoxic to hepatocytes isolated from phenobarbital-pretreated rats than uninduced rats. However, metyrapone now prevented and SKF525A delayed the cytotoxicity whereas ethanol, acetone, allyl isocyanate, isoniazid or trichloroethylene had no effect on the susceptibility of phenobarbital-induced hepatocytes. Furthermore, microsomes isolated from phenobarbital-pretreated rats had higher NMA-N-demethylase activity which was more inhibited by metyrapone and SKF525A than that of uninduced microsomal activity. By contrast the N-demethylase activity of phenobarbital induced microsomes was more resistant to acetone, ethanol, hexanal, trichloroethylene and toluene than uninduced microsome. 3. The above results suggest that cytochrome P-450IIE1 catalyses the cytotoxic activation of NMA in normal or pyrazole-induced hepatocytes whereas cytochrome P-450IIB1/2 is responsible for cytotoxicity in phenobarbital-induced hepatocytes. 相似文献

Rat lung microsomal cytochrome P-450 (P-450) enzymes have been characterized with regard to their catalytic specificities towards activation of several procarcinogens to genotoxic metabolites in Salmonella typhimurium TA1535/pSK1002. We first examined the roles of rat liver microsomal P-450 enzymes in the activation of benzo[a]pyrene and its 7,8-diol enantiomers to genotoxic products, and found that P-450 1A1 is a major catalyst for the activation of these potential procarcinogens in rat livers. Using lung microsomes isolated from rats treated with various P-450 inducers we obtained evidence that at least three P-450 enzymes are involved in the activation of several procarcinogens. Immunoinhibition studies support the view that benzo[a]pyrene and its 7,8-diol derivatives, other dihydrodiol derivatives of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and 3-amino-1-methyl-5H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole are activated to genotoxins mainly by rat P-450 1A1, which is inducible in rat lungs by 5,6-benzoflavone and the polychlorinated biphenyl mixture Aroclor 1254. Activation of 2-amino-3,5-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline and 2-amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline may be catalyzed by another P-450 enzyme because the activities were not induced by treatment with 5,6-benzoflavone or Aroclor 1254. The observation that both activities were inhibited by antibodies raised against P-450 1A2 and by 7,8-benzoflavone suggests a role for an enzyme of P-450 1A family, probably P-450 1A2, in rat lung microsomes. The activation of aflatoxin B1 and sterigmatocystin appears to be catalyzed by other P-450 enzyme(s) rather than the P-450 1A family as judged by the different responses of activities to the P-450 inducers and the specific antibodies in rat lung microsomes. Interestingly, lung microsomal activation of several procarcinogens was found to be suppressed in rats treated with isosafrole and pregnenolone 16 alpha-carbonitrile. Thus, the results support the roles of different P-450 enzymes in the activation of procarcinogens in rat lung microsomes. 相似文献

Three cytochrome P-450 preparations, designated as cytochrome P-450ca, cytochrome P-450cb, and cytochrome P-448c fraction, were separated and purified about 23-, 50-, and 29-fold, respectively, from the cholate extracts of rabbit colon mucosa microsomes. Their specific contents were 1.2, 2.6, and 1.5 nmol of cytochrome P-450 per mg of protein, respectively. Cytochrome P-450ca and cytochrome P-450cb migrated as heme-containing polypeptide bands with molecular weights of about 53,000 and 57,000, respectively, on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The CO-reduced difference spectra of cytochrome P-450ca, cytochrome P-450cb, and cytochrome P-448c fraction showed maxima at 451, 450, and 449 nm, respectively. Cytochrome P-450ca efficiently catalyzed the omega-hydroxylation of prostaglandin A1 (PGA1) and the omega- and (omega-1)-hydroxylation of caprate, laurate, and myristate in the reconstituted system containing cytochrome P-450ca, NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase, cytochrome b5, and phosphatidylcholine. In contrast, cytochrome P-450cb and cytochrome P-448c fraction had no detectable activity toward PGA1 and fatty acids. Both catalyzed aminopyrine and benzphetamine N-demethylation. Cytochrome P-448c fraction also hydroxylated benzo(a)pyrene, and phosphatidylinositol or phosphatidylserine exhibited a stimulatory effect on this activity. The results show that rabbit colon microsomes contain catalytically different cytochrome P-450, one of which is specialized for the omega-oxidation prostaglandins, the others being involved in the metabolism of exogenous compounds such as drugs and polycyclic hydrocarbons. 相似文献

The total organic base fraction purified from fried ground beef is metabolized by human-liver microsomes to form mutagens detectable by the Ames/Salmonella bacterial assay. The mutagens produced have an absolute requirement for metabolic activation; without it, no increase in the number of revertants over background is seen. Microsomes from human liver activate the mutagens significantly more than microsomes from uninduced mouse or rat liver; the microsomes from one individual were nearly as active as those of Aroclor-induced mice and rats. alpha-Naphthoflavone (ANF) inhibits activation of these mutagenic bases, implying that the metabolism is mediated by the inducible form(s) of cytochrome P-448. Thus, the human liver has the potential to metabolize the cooked beef mutagen(s) to active intermediates, posing a possible mutagenic risk. However, unlike the animal metabolizing system, which needs to be artificially induced, the human system appears to be naturally induced through diet or environmental exposure. 相似文献
