The mutagenic activities of trans-7,8-dihydro-7,8-dihydroxybenzo[a]-pyrene (BP 7,8-diol) and of trans-3,4-dihydroxy-7,12-dimethylbenz[a]-anthracene (DMBA 3,4-diol) towards S. typhimurium TA100 were measured in assays that were carried out on a micro-scale in liquid medium in the presence of microsomal fractions prepared from mouse skin or rat liver. In the presence of an NADPH-generating system, microsomal enzymes converted both diols into mutagens that were probably the respective 'bay-region' diol-epoxides. The rate of the enzyme-catalysed conversion of the BP 7,8-diol into mutagens by microsomal preparations from mouse epidermis was similar to that occurring with microsomes from rat liver. Pretreatment of mice by the topical application of benz[a]anthracene (BA) or 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]-anthracene (DMBA) increased the mutagenic activity of BP 7,8-diol mediated by mouse skin microsomal preparations by 2-fold and this was paralleled by a 4-fold increase in epidermal aryl hydrocarbon (benzo[a]pyrene) hydroxylase (AHH) activity. The results are discussed in relation to the high susceptibility of mouse skin to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) carcinogenesis.  相似文献

The metabolism of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) was studied using microsomes prepared from the skin of the mouse and rat. Topical application of the polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) Aroclor 1254 or the PAH 3-methylcholanthrene (3-MC) to the skin of the C57BL/6N and DBA/2N mouse and the Sprague-Dawley rat caused statistically significant enhancement of cutaneous microsomal aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) activity in each animal. PCB was a more potent inducer of the enzyme than was 3-MC. BaP metabolism by skin microsomes from the same animals was assessed using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The skin of untreated animals metabolized BaP into 9,10-, 7,8- and 4,5-dihydrodiols, phenols and quinones. Skin application of PCB caused greater than 16–18-fold enhancement of BaP metabolism in the C57BL/6N mouse and the rat and 2–5-fold enhancement in the DBA/2N mouse. Skin application of 3-MC enhanced BaP metabolism 2–8-fold in the C57BL/6N mouse and 5–10-fold in the rat and had no effect in the DBA/2N mouse. The formation of procarcinogenic metabolite BaP-7, 8-diol was greatly enhanced (4–12-fold) by treatment with the PCB and 3-MC in the tumor susceptible C57BL/6N mouse and in the tumor-resistant neonatal Sprague-Dawley rat. In contrast, the formation of BaP-7,8-diol was either slightly enhanced (2-fold) or unaffected by treatment with the PCB or 3-MC in the tumor-resistant DBA/2N mouse. Our data indicate that neither the patterns of metabolism nor the amount of BaP-7,8-diol formation in the skin are reliable predictors of tumor susceptibility to the PAH in rodent skin.  相似文献

(±)-7β,8α-Dihydroxy-9β,10β-epoxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene (diol epoxide-1) and (±)-7β,8α-dihydroxy-9α,10α-epoxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene (diol epoxide-2) are highly mutagenic diol epoxide diastereomers that are formed during metabolism of the carcinogen (±)-trans-7,8-dihydroxy-7,8-dihydrobenzo[a]pyrene. Remarkable stereoselectivity has been observed on metabolism of the optically pure (+)- and (?)-enantiomers of the dihydrodiol which are obtained by separation of the diastereomeric diesters with (?)-α-methoxy-α-trifluoromethylphenylacetic acid. The high stereoselectivity in the formation of diol epoxide-1 relative to diol epoxide-2 was observed with liver microsomes from 3-methylcholanthrene-treated rats and with a purified cytochrome P-448-containing monoxygenase system where the (?)-enantiomer produced a diol epoxide-2 to diol epoxide-1 ratio of 6 : 1 and the (+)-enantiomer produced a ratio of 1 : 22. Microsomes from control and phenobarbital-treated rats were less stereospecific in the metabolism of enantiomers of BP 7,8-dihydrodiol. The ratio of diol epoxide-2 to diol epoxide-1 formed from the (?)- and (+)-enantiomers with microsomes from control rats was 2 : 1 and 1 : 6, respectively. Both enantiomers of BP 7,8-dihydrodiol were also metabolized to a phenolic derivative, tentatively identified as 6,7,8-trihydroxy-7,8-dihydrobenzo[a]pyrene, which accounted for ~30% of the total metabolites formed by microsomes from control and phenobarbital-pretreated rats whereas this metabolite represents ~5% of the total metabolites with microsomes from 3-methylcholanthrene-treated rats. With benzo[a]pyrene as substrate, liver microsomes produced the 4,5-, 7,8- and 9,10-dihydrodiol with high optical purity (>85%), and diol epoxides were also formed. Most of the optical activity in the BP 7,8-dihydrodiol was due to metabolism by the monoxygenase system rather than by epoxide hydrase, since hydration of (±)-benzo[a]pyrene 7,8-oxide by liver microsomes produced dihydrodiol which was only 8% optically pure. Thus, the stereospecificity of both the monoxygenase system and, to a lesser extent, epoxide hydrase plays important roles in the metabolic activation of benzo[a]pyrene to carcinogens and mutagens.  相似文献

The effect of various co- and anti-carcinogens of colon carcinogenesis on the metabolism of benzo(a)pyrene (BP) in cultured rat colon is reported. Rat colon enzymatically converted BP into metabolites which bind to cellular macromolecules i.e., DNA and protein. Activity of aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) activity and binding levels of BP to macromolecules were higher in the descending colon when compared to other segments. The major metabolites of BP, extractable with ethylacetate, were quinones, tetrols, 7,8-diol and a peak containing 9,10-dihydroxy-9,10-dihydrobenzo(a)pyrene and 7,8,9-trihydroxy-7,8-dihydrobenzo(a)pyrene. The binding levels of BP to DNA and protein in the explant was lowered by co-incubation with 7,8-benzoflavone (7,8-BF) (3.6 and 18.0 μM), a known inhibitor of AHH, and with disulfiram (100 μM), an anti-oxidant. The absence of vitamin A in the media also resulted in a lower level of BP binding to DNA and protein and in lower activity of AHH. Pretreatment with known inducers of AHH such as phenobarbital (PB) or benz(a)anthracene (BA), did not have any significant effect on the binding levels of BP to DNA or on the AHH activity. of the bile acids investigated only taurodeoxycholic acid significantly increased the binding level of BP to DNA.  相似文献

The inducibility of aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) by benzo[a]-pyrene (BaP) has been studied in synchronously grown cultures of mouse liver cells. These cells (NMuLi cl 8) have low basal levels of AHH which can be induced greater than 100-fold by BaP. Cells were synchronized in G1(G0) by serum starvation and in S by release from serum starvation in combination with excess thymidine. When released from G1(G0) by replating at lower cell density in fresh medium with 20% serum, cells began entering S with a lag of 12 h. Addition of BaP (1 microgram/ml) 8 h before serum stimulation, at the time of stimulation or 7.5 h after stimulation all gave similar induction kinetics: the AHH activity peaked as the cells began entering S regardless of when the BaP was added. Cells blocked in various parts of S by excess thymidine were inducible for AHH activity as efficiently as cells moving through S and into G2. These results indicate that the inducibility of AHH is greater when cells are actively proliferating and may be a contributing factor to why growing cells are more sensitive to mutagenesis and transformation than quiescent cells.  相似文献

The effect of ferric and manganese ions on the in vitro metabolism of benzo(a)pyrene (BP) to dihydrodihydroxy (diol) metabolites by rat liver microsomal preparations was studied. Of the 3 diols separated by high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and called diols 1, 2 and 3 in order of elution, diol 1 was identified by its U.V. spectrum as the 9,10-diol; diols 2 and 3 have not yet been identified positively but are probably the 4,5- and 7,8-diols respectively. Higher concentrations of both metals altered the diol profile; 10 and 50 mumol Fe3+ per incubation caused the disappearance of diols 1 and 2 and an increase in diol 3; 10 mumol Mn2+ caused a significant decrease in diol 2 while 50 mumol reduced diol 2 to a negligible amount and inhibited the formation of diol 1; both concentrations caused a relative increase in diol 3. If the tentative identification of diol 3 as the 7,8-diol is correct, manganese and ferric ions could be significant in the metabolism of BP to the active metabolite, the 7,8-diol-9,10-epoxide.  相似文献

Placental microsomes from a large majority of nonsmokers in this study showed almost undetectable specific activity in metabolizing benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) in vitro. The microsomal fraction of the placentas from individuals who smoked cigarettes during pregnancy had the highest activity in metabolizing BaP than other subcellular fractions. Cigarette smoking during pregnancy induced placental enzymes which converted BaP to a variety of metabolites: the yield of 3-hydroxy-BaP (3-OHBaP) and other phenols of BaP was the largest among the BaP metabolites, 7,8-dihydrodihydroxy-BaP (7,8-diol) having 13–72% the yield of 3-OHBaP. Other metabolites included 9, 10-dihydrodihydroxy-BaP (9,10-diol), 4,5-dihydrodihydroxy-BaP (4,5-diol), quinones of BaP and unidentified metabolites which were more polar than the diols.  相似文献

The effects of benzoflavones on skin tumor initiation by polycyclic hydrocarbons and epidermal aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase were investigated. 7,8-Benzoflavone (7,8-BF) was found to be a potent inhibitor of the inhibition of skin tumors by 3-methylcholanthrene (MC) as well as 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA). 5,6-Benzoflavone(5,6-BF) inhibited tumor initiation by MC and DMBA, but to a lesser degree than 7,8-BF. Dose-response studies of the capacity of 7,8-BF to inhibit DMBA tumor initiation revealed that 7,8-BF was an effective inhibitor at 2.5 microgram and a maximum inhibition of 90% occurred at 100 microgram of 7,8-FB. The tumor initiating ability of 7-hydroxymethyl-12-methylbenz(a)anthracene (7-OHMe-12MeBA) was not inhibited by 7,8-BF. Epidermal aryl hydrocarbon(benzo(a)pyrene hydroxylase(AHH) was increased by 5,6-BF and either had no effect or was slightly inhibited by 7,8-BF when given either topically or i.p. Both flavones when added directly to the assay tubes inhibited the in vitro epidermal AHH activity from control and MC pretreated mice by greater than 75%. When added in vitro, 7,8-BF and 5,6-BF inhibited epidermally mediated covalent binding of radioactive DMBA and dibenz(a,h)anthracene to DNA by 50% or more. The inhibition of skin tumor initiation by 7,8-BF and 5,6-BF appears to be partially related to its ability to inhibit the formation of electrophilic intermediates.  相似文献

The induction by phenobarbital (PB) of aldrin epoxidase (AE) and aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH), markers of cytochrome P-450- and cytochrome P-448-dependent monooxygenases, was studied in cell lines derived from Reuber H35 rat hepatoma which differ widely in their degree of differentiation. The following results were obtained: (1) PB induced AE 2-6-fold and AHH 2-4-fold in the differentiated clones, Fao, 2sFou, and C2Rev7 during an exposure period of 72 h. The barbiturate increased AHH but not AE in the dedifferentiated clone H5, the poorly differentiated line H4IIEC3/T, and in the well differentiated line H4IIEC3/G-. (2) Continuous presence of the barbiturate was required for maintaining the induction of the two monooxygenase activities in C2Rev7 cells. (3) Maximum induction of AE was observed at a PB concentration of 1.5-3.0 mM. (4) The effects of 7,8-benzoflavone on AHH-activities induced by phenobarbital in C2Rev7 and H5 cells suggested that they are mediated by cytochrome P-450- and cytochrome P-448-dependent monooxygenase forms, respectively. Thus, the flavonoid had only a slight inhibitory effect on PB-induced AHH in C2Rev7 cells, but strongly inhibited PB-induced AHH in H5 cells. The induction of AE and of 7,8-benzoflavone-inhibitable AHH in 2sFou cells indicated that PB is capable of inducing cytochromes P-450 and cytochrome P-448 in the same cell.  相似文献

Digitalis purpurea normal callus suspension culture is capable of metabolizing 5β-pregnane-3,20-dione (1) to 3β-hydroxy-5β-pregnan-20-one (2), 3α-hydroxy-5β-pregnan-20-one (3), 3β-hydroxy-5β-pregnan-20-one glucoside (7) and 3α-hydroxy-5β-pregnan-20-one glucoside (8). Digitalis purpurea habituated callus suspension culture is also capable of metabolizing 1 to 2, 3, 5β-pregnane-3β,20β-diol (5), (7), (8), 5β-pregnane-3β,20α-diol monoglucoside (9) and 5β-pregnane-3α,20α-diol monoglucoside (11). Furthermore, it was observed that 3β-hydroxy-5β-pregnan-20-one (2) is converted to 7, 9 and 11 by both suspension cultures. At the same time, 1, 3, 5 and 8 were detected in normal callus, while 5β-pregnane-3β,20α-diol (4) and 5β-pregnane-3β,20β-diol monoglucoside (10) were present in the habituated callus culture.  相似文献

Pretreatment of hamsters with benzo (a) pyrene (BaP) greatly increased the in vitro metabolism of BaP by lung microsomes from pregnant hamsters, and had less effect on the metabolism of BaP by liver microsomes. The production of various metabolites of BaP by lung microsomes was increased to different extents: 3-hydroxy-BaP (3-OH-BaP) was one of the major metabolites; the metabolic yields of 9, 10-dihydrodihydroxy-BaP (9, 10-diol) and 7,8-diol were increased more than that of the 4,5-diol. In the case of liver microsomes, only the yields of 9,10-diol and 7,8-diol were increased over the control levels. The presence of cyclohexene oxide in the incubation mixtures decreased the production of the diols. Basal-level enzyme activities in placental, fetal liver, and fetal skin microsomes in metabolizing BaP were very low. Pretreatment of pregnant hamsters with BaP induced BaP-metabolizing enzymes in fetal tissue 2–3 fold.  相似文献

This study was designed to investigate the effects of four compounds that are shown to influence the cytochrome P450 system, on the metabolism of and DNA adduct formation by benzo[alpha]pyrene (BaP) in human skin epithelial cells in culture. Radiolabeled BaP was used in the metabolism studies, and the levels of metabolites in the ethylacetate extracts of the intracellular and extracellular fractions were determined by HPLC. Among the various metabolites detected BaP-7,8-diol was the only one that was an intermediate on the activation pathway of BaP to the ultimate carcinogen, BPDE I. Both BHA and 7,8-BF pretreatment significantly decreased intracellular production of BaP-7,8-diol compared to cultures treated with only radiolabeled BaP. MeBHA pretreatment greatly increased intracellular BaP-7,8-diol formation compared to BaP treated controls, while disulfiram pretreatment had no effect on the intracellular concentration. Cultures pretreated with BHA, 7,8-BF or disulfiram formed 30-40% less BPDE I-dG adducts than nonpretreated cultures, while cultures pretreated with MeBHA exhibited approximately 200% increase in the BPDE I-dG adduct formation. Thus, BHA and 7,8-BF act similarly in reducing BaP activation and adduct formation. Alternatively, MeBHA increased BaP activation and adduct formation in human keratinocyte cultures in vitro. Disulfiram pretreatment did not reduce BaP-7,8-diol formation, but decreased BPDE I-dG adducts. These studies indicate that modulators of the P450 system act in different fashions at the level of production of an oxygenated procarcinogen metabolite, altering the amount of specific carcinogen-dG adducts that lead to the expression of a transformed phenotype.  相似文献

The effects of 3-methylcholanthrene (MCA), 5,6-benzoflavone (βNF), 7,8-benzoflavone (αNF) and pregnenolone 16α-carbonitrile (PCN) upon aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) were determined in primary mammary gland epithelial cell cultures prepared from the C3Hf?/Ki mouse. MCA elevated AHH activity by 3–4 fold after 24 h of treatment; αNF produced a 50% inhibition. The specific activity of AHH in these cells was elevated by 6 h after exposure to MCA; enzyme activity was still maximally elevated after 48 h. The effects of MCA were also investigated in a group of mammary cell lines, one of which was derived from a control virgin mouse, the MCG V14; 3 of which arose from mammary tumors, MCG T10, MCG T14 and MCG T19; and 2 of which were sublines developed from hyperplastic alveolar nodules, HAN-1 and HAN-2. Induction was seen in all lines at 24 h, with the MCG T14 being the most responsive and the HAN-2, the least. Although the MCG T19 tumor cells did respond in culture, when implanted in the mouse, the AHH of the subsequent tumor was not elevated upon administration of MCA in vivo.  相似文献

It has been shown that the cultured cells of Digitalis purpruea are capable of transforming progesterone (I) to 5α-pregnane-3,20-dione (II), 5α-pregnan-3β-ol-20-one (III), its glucoside (IV), 5α-pregnane-3β,20α-diol (V), its glucoside (VI), 5α-pregnane-3β,20β-diol (VII), its glucoside (VIII), Δ4-pregnen-20α-ol-3-one (IX), its glucoside (X), Δ-pregnen-20β-ol-3-one (XI) and its glucoside (XII). 5α-Pregnan-3β-ol-20-one glucoside (IV), 5α-pregnane-3β,20α-diol glucoside (VI), 5α-pregnane-3β,20β-diol glucoside (VIII), Δ4-pregnen-20α-ol-3-one glucoside (X) and Δ4-pregnen-20β-ol-3-one glucoside (XII) have been found for the first time as new metabolises by plant tissue cultures. A scheme for the biotransformation of progesterone (I) has been proposed, and the reduction and glucosidation activities distinctly have been observed in these cultured cells.  相似文献

A close correlation has been observed between the ability of aromatic polycyclic hydrocarbons and 7,8-benzoflavone (7,8-BF) to induce hepatic aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) in vivo and to inhibit the induced enzyme system in vitro. The activity of this mono-oxygenase was measured by the conversion of 14C-labeled dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) or benzo(a)pyrene (BP) to water-soluble products by rat liver preparations (8000 X g supernatant). DMBA as substrate had the advantage over BP in giving a wider range of ethyl acetate-soluble metabolites and allowing the observation of changes in the pattern of these products following injection or addition of the inducing agents. This property was used to detect low concentration (0.1 muM) of polycyclic hydrocarbons which are strong AHH inducers and which may also be carcinogenic. The liver preparation was active for several months when stored at --20 degrees. A possible mechanism of action for the in vitro behaviour of polycyclic hydrocarbons and 7,8-BF towards AHH is proposed.  相似文献

[4 -14C]-Progesterone was applied to the leaves of growing pea plants, Pisum sativum. After 3 weeks, about 50% of the administered steroid was reduced, about 20% being reduced to 5α-pregnane-3α,20β-diol as the major metabolite. The radioactivities of 5α-pregnane-3α,20α-diol and 5α-pregnane-3α,20β-diol after 3 weeks were more than twice those after one week. The following radioactive metabolises were also isolated: 5α-pregnane-3,20-dione; 20α-hydroxy-4- pregnen-3-one; 20β-hydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one; 3α-hydroxy-5α-pregnan-20-one; 3α-hydroxy-5β-pregnan-20-one; 3β-hydroxy- 5α-pregnan-20-one; 20β-hydroxy-5α-pregnan-3-one; 5α-pregnane-3β,20β-diol; and 5β-pregnane-3α,20β-diol. The radioactivities of the 5α-pregnane derivatives were considerably higher than those of the corresponding 5β-pregnane derivatives.  相似文献
