Antibodies to mouse liver cytochrome P3-450 (anti-P3-450) and antibodies to rat liver cytochrome P-450d (anti-P-450d-c) inhibit the 0-deethylation of 7-ethoxyresorufin (ER) in liver microsomes of benz(a)pyrene-induced (BP) mice but do not inhibit the 0-deethylase activity in liver microsomes of BP-induced rats. Anti-P3-450 and anti-P-450c inhibit BP-hydroxylation in BP-induced mouse liver microsomes by 20%, but they do not inhibit this reaction at all in BP-induced rat liver microsomes. In a reconstituted monooxygenase system isolated cytochrome P3-450 metabolized 7-ER and BP. In contrast, its homologue, cytochrome P-450d, did not metabolize these substrates. The fraction containing cytochrome P1-450 metabolized 7-ER at a low rate and BP at a rate of 3.6 nmol product/min/nmol cytochrome. Western blot analysis with anti-P-450c + d revealed two bands in SDS-PAGE gels containing BP-induced mouse liver microsomes. The interaction of mouse liver BP-microsomes with anti-P3-450 and anti-P-450d-c was accompanied by the appearance of a single band (cytochrome P3-450). 相似文献

One major form of cytochrome P450 has been isolated from the hepatopancreas of untreated spiny lobsters, Panulirus argus. This form, termed here D1, was purified to a specific content of 12.1 +/- 1.8 nmol/mg protein. Two minor forms, termed D2 and D3 were partially purified to 4.6 +/- 1.6 and 2.3 +/- 0.2 nmol P450/mg protein, respectively. No NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase activity was detected in spiny lobster hepatopancreas microsomes and no purification of spiny lobster reductase was achieved in this study. Very low NADPH-cytochrome c reductase activity was found in hepatopancreas microsomes and also in cytosol. Indirect evidence suggested that proteolysis of spiny lobster P450 reductase during the preparation of hepatopancreas microsomes may in part account for the lack of detectable monooxygenase activity in hepatopancreas microsomes. The catalytic activities of the D1 or D2 forms of spiny lobster P450 were measured by mixing D1 or D2 with NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase isolated from pig or rat liver microsomes. D2 was very efficient in demethylating benzphetamine, with a turnover number of 122 per minute, and D1 was an efficient catalyst of progesterone 16 alpha-hydroxylation, with a turnover number of 43 per minute. Other good substrates for D1 and D2 forms were aminopyrine, testosterone, benzo(a)pyrene, and 7-ethoxycoumarin. Little activity was found with methyl-, ethyl-, pentyl-, or benzyl-phenoxazone ethers as substrates. The profile of metabolites formed by D1 or D2 with benzo(a)pyrene as substrate were more similar to those formed with uninduced rat liver microsomes than to those formed by liver microsomes from uninduced flatfish species. 相似文献

A set of nine 4-aminomethyl-7-alkoxycoumarin derivatives was synthesized and characterized as substrates for O-dealkylation by recombinant cytochrome P450 2D6, a major human enzyme involved in drug metabolism. Enzymatic O-dealkylation yields 7-hydroxycoumarins, which have useful fluorescence properties. The substrates, which differed in substitution at the amino and 7-hydroxy positions, varied in terms of catalytic efficiency of O-dealkylation and in their selectivity as substrates for cytochrome P450 2D6 in human liver microsomes. Several of the compounds are useful as cytochrome P450 2D6 substrates in single-phase, rapid-throughput assays. 相似文献

Glycerol can be oxidized by rat liver microsomes to formaldehyde in a reaction that requires the production of reactive oxygen intermediates. Studies with inhibitors, antibodies, and reconstituted systems with purified cytochrome P4502E1 were carried out to evaluate whether P450 was required for glycerol oxidation. A purified system containing phospholipid, NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase, P4502E1, and NADPH oxidized glycerol to formaldehyde. Formaldehyde production was dependent on NADPH, reductase, and P450, but not phospholipid. Formaldehyde production was inhibited by substrates and ligands for P4502E1, as well as by anti-pyrazole P4502E1 IgG. The oxidation of glycerol by the reconstituted system was sensitive to catalase, desferrioxamine, and EDTA but not to superoxide dismutase or mannitol, indicating a role for H2O2 plus non-heme iron, but not superoxide or hydroxyl radical in the overall glycerol oxidation pathway. The requirement for reactive oxygen intermediates for glycerol oxidation is in contrast to the oxidation of typical substrates for P450. In microsomes from pyrazole-treated, but not phenobarbital-treated rats, glycerol oxidation was inhibited by anti-pyrazole P450 IgG, anti-hamster ethanol-induced P450 IgG, and monoclonal antibody to ethanol-induced P450, although to a lesser extent than inhibition of dimethylnitrosamine oxidation. Anti-rabbit P4503a IgG did not inhibit glycerol oxidation at concentrations that inhibited oxidation of dimethylnitrosamine. Inhibition of glycerol oxidation by antibodies and by aminotriazole and miconazole was closely associated with inhibition of H2O2 production. These results indicate that P450 is required for glycerol oxidation to formaldehyde; however, glycerol is not a direct substrate for oxidation to formaldehyde by P450 but is a substrate for an oxidant derived from interaction of iron with H2O2 generated by cytochrome P450. 相似文献

The presence of a very active cytochrome P-450-dependent drug-metabolizing system in the olfactory epithelium has been confirmed by using 7-ethoxycoumarin, 7-ethoxyresorufin, hexobarbitone and aniline as substrates, and the reasons for the marked activity of the cytochrome P-450 in this tissue have been investigated. The spectral interaction of hexobarbitone and aniline with hepatic and olfactory microsomes has been examined. By this criterion there was no evidence for marked differences in the spin state of the cytochromes of the two tissues, or for the olfactory epithelium containing a greater amount of cytochrome capable of binding hexobarbitone, a very actively metabolized substrate. Rates of NADPH and NADH: cytochrome c reductase activity were found to be higher in the olfactory epithelium than in the liver, and direct evidence was obtained for a greater amount of the NADPH-dependent flavoprotein in the olfactory microsomes. Investigation of male rats and male and female mice, as well as male hamsters, demonstrated that, in all cases, the cytochrome P-450 levels of the olfactory epithelium were lower than those of the liver, while the 7-ethoxycoumarin de-ethylase and NADPH:cytochrome c reductase activities were higher. A correlation was found between 7-ethoxycoumarin de-ethylase and NADPH:cytochrome c reductase activities for both tissues in all species examined. The ratio of reductase to cytochrome P-450 was found to be considerably higher in the olfactory epithelium (1:2-1:3) than in the liver (1:11-1:15), regardless of the species examined, suggesting that facilitated electron flow may contribute significantly to the cytochrome P-450 catalytic turnover in the olfactory tissue. 相似文献

Rat hepatic cytochrome P-450 form 3 (testosterone 7 alpha-hydroxylase; P-450 gene IIA1) and P-450 form RLM2 (testosterone 15 alpha-hydroxylase; P-450 gene IIA2) are 88% identical in primary structure, yet they hydroxylate testosterone with distinct and apparently unrelated regioselectivities. In this study, androstenedione and progesterone were used to assess the regioselectivity and stereospecificity of these two P-450 enzymes towards other steroid substrates. Although P-450 RLM2 exhibited low 7 alpha-hydroxylase activity with testosterone or progesterone as substrate (turnover number less than or equal to 1-2 nmol of metabolite/min per nmol of P-450), it did catalyse androstenedione 7 alpha-hydroxylation at a high rate (21 min-1) which exceeded that of P-450 3 (7 min-1). However, whereas P-450 3 exhibited a high specificity for hydroxylation of these steroids at the 7 alpha position (95-97% of total activity), P-450 RLM2 actively metabolized these compounds at four or more major sites including the nearby C-15 position, which dominated in the case of testosterone and progesterone. The observation that androstenedione is actively 7 alpha-hydroxylated by purified P-450 RLM2 suggested that this P-450 enzyme might make significant contributions to microsomal androstenedione 7 alpha-hydroxylation, an activity that was previously reported to be associated with immunoreactive P-450 3. Antibody inhibition experiments were therefore carried out in liver microsomes using polyclonal anti-(P-450 3) antibodies which cross-react with P-450 RLM2, and using a monoclonal antibody that is reactive with and inhibitory towards P-450 3 but not P-450 RLM2. P-450 3 was thus shown to catalyse only around 35% of the total androstenedione 7 alpha-hydroxylase activity in uninduced adult male rat liver microsomes, with the balance attributed to P-450 RLM2. The P-450-3-dependent 7 alpha-hydroxylase activity was increased to approximately 65% of the total in phenobarbital-induced adult male microsomes, and to greater than 90% of the total in untreated adult female rat liver microsomes. These observations are consistent with the inducibility of P-450 3 by phenobarbital and with the absence of P-450 RLM2 from adult female rat liver respectively. These findings establish that P-450 RLM2 and P-450 3 can both contribute significantly to microsomal androstenedione 7 alpha-hydroxylation, thus demonstrating that the 7 alpha-hydroxylation of this androgen does not serve as a specific catalytic monitor for microsomal P-450 3. 相似文献

Cytochrome P450p (IIIA1) has been purified from rat liver microsomes by several investigators, but in all cases the purified protein, in contrast to other P450 enzymes, has not been catalytically active when reconstituted with NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase and dilauroylphosphatidylcholine. We now report the successful reconstitution of testosterone oxidation by cytochrome P450p, which was purified from liver microsomes from troleandomycin-treated rats. The rate of testosterone oxidation was greatest when purified cytochrome P450p (50 pmol/ml) was reconstituted with a fivefold molar excess of NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase, an equimolar amount of cytochrome b5, 200 micrograms/ml of a chloroform/methanol extract of microsomal lipid (which could not be substituted with dilauroylphosphatidylcholine), and the nonionic detergent, Emulgen 911 (50 micrograms/ml). Testosterone oxidation by cytochrome P450p was optimal at 200 mM potassium phosphate, pH 7.25. In addition to their final concentration, the order of addition of these components was found to influence the catalytic activity of cytochrome P450p. Under these experimental conditions, purified cytochrome P450p converted testosterone to four major and four minor metabolites at an overall rate of 18 nmol/nmol P450p/min (which is comparable to the rate of testosterone oxidation catalyzed by other purified forms of rat liver cytochrome P450). The four major metabolites were 6 beta-hydroxytestosterone (51%), 2 beta-hydroxytestosterone (18%), 15 beta-hydroxytestosterone (11%) and 6-dehydrotestosterone (10%). The four minor metabolites were 18-hydroxytestosterone (3%), 1 beta-hydroxytestosterone (3%), 16 beta-hydroxytestosterone (2%), and androstenedione (2%). With the exception of 16 beta-hydroxytestosterone and androstenedione, the conversion of testosterone to each of these metabolites was inhibited greater than 85% when liver microsomes from various sources were incubated with rabbit polyclonal antibody against cytochrome P450p. This antibody, which recognized two electrophoretically distinct proteins in liver microsomes from troleandomycin-treated rats, did not inhibit testosterone oxidation by cytochromes P450a, P450b, P450h, or P450m. The catalytic turnover of microsomal cytochrome P450p was estimated from the increase in testosterone oxidation and the apparent increase in cytochrome P450 concentration following treatment of liver microsomes from troleandomycin- or erythromycin-induced rats with potassium ferricyanide (which dissociates the cytochrome P450p-inducer complex). Based on this estimate, the catalytic turnover values for purified, reconstituted cytochrome P450p were 4.2 to 4.6 times greater than the rate catalyzed by microsomal cytochrome P450p. 相似文献

1. The microsomal mixed-function oxygenase (MFO) system from the hepatopancreas and green gland of the red swamp crayfish, Procambarus clarkii has been characterized with respect to the constitution of electron transport proteins and the ability to catalyze the metabolism of xenobiotics. 2. Cytochrome P-450 content of hepatopancreas microsomes was approximately 10-fold higher than that of green gland and comparable to that of rat liver. NADPH-cytochrome c reductase activity in hepatopancreas microsomes was approximately 2% of that found in rat liver microsomes. 3. Green gland microsomes catalyzed higher turnover rates of aminopyrine N-demethylase and benzo[a]pyrene hydroxylase than hepatopancreas microsomes. With hepatopancreas microsomes, organic hydroperoxides supported a greater rate of aminopyrine N-demethylation than did NADPH plus O2. 4. P. clarkii hepatopancreas microsomes generally displayed a lower binding affinity (Ks) for a number of type I and type II ligands than did rat liver microsomes. 相似文献

Constitutive testosterone 6 beta-hydroxylase in rat liver 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The cytochrome P-450 that was purified from hepatic microsomes of male rats treated with phenobarbital and designated P450 PB-1 (Funae and Imaoka (1985) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 842, 119-132) had high testosterone 6 beta-hydroxylation activity (turnover rate, 13.5 nmol of product/min/nmol of P-450) in a reconstituted system consisting of cytochrome P-450, NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase, cytochrome b5, and a 1:1 mixture of lecithin and phosphatidylserine in the presence of sodium cholate. In ordinary conditions in the reconstituted system with cytochrome P-450, reductase, and dilauroylphosphatidylcholine, P450 PB-1 had little 6 beta-hydroxylase activity. The catalytic activities toward testosterone of two major constitutive forms, P450 UT-2 and P450 UT-5, were not affected by cytochrome b5, phospholipid, or sodium cholate. P450 PB-1 in rat liver microsomes was assayed by immunoblotting with specific antibody to P450 PB-1. P450 PB-1 accounted for 24.4 +/- 5.6% (mean +/- SD) of the total spectrally-measured cytochrome P-450 in hepatic microsomes of untreated adult male rats, and was not found in untreated adult female rats. P450 PB-1 was induced twofold with phenobarbital in male rats. P450 PB-1 was purified from untreated male rats and identified as P450 PB-1 from phenobarbital-treated rats by its NH2-terminal sequence, peptide mapping, and immunochemistry. These results showed that P450 PB-1 is a constitutive male-specific form in rat liver. There was a good correlation (r = 0.925) between the P450 PB-1 level and testosterone 6 beta-hydroxylase activity in rat liver microsomes.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Characterization of xenobiotic metabolizing cytochrome P450s (P450s) was carried out in rat brain microsomes using the specific substrates, 7-pentoxy- and 7-ethoxyresorufin (PR and ER), metabolized in the liver by P450 2B1/2B2 and 1A1/1A2 respectively and 7-benzyloxyresorufin (BR), a substrate for both the isoenzymes. Brain microsomes catalysed the O-dealkylation of PR, BR and ER in the presence of NADPH. The ability to dealkylate alkoxyresorufins varied in different regions of the brain. Microsomes from the olfactory lobes exhibited maximum pentoxyresorufin-O-dealkylase (PROD), benzyloxyresorufin-O-dealkylase (BROD) and ethoxyresorufin-O-dealkylase (EROD) activities. The dealkylation was found to be inducer selective. While pretreatment with phenobarbital (PB; 80 mg/kg; i.p. × 5 days) resulted in significant induction in PROD (3-4 fold) and BROD (4-5 fold) activities, 3-methylcholanthrene (MC; 30 mg/kg; i.p. × 5 days) had no effect on the activity of PROD and only a slight effect on that of BROD (1.4 fold). MC pretreatment significantly induced the activity of EROD (3 fold) while PB had no effect on it. Kinetic studies have shown that this increase in the activities following pretreatment with P450 inducers was associated with a significant increase in the velocity of the reaction (Vmax) of O-dealkylation. In vitro studies using organic inhibitors and antibodies have further provided evidence that the O-dealkylation of alkoxyresorufins is isoenzyme specific. While in vitro addition of a-naphthoflavone (ANF), an inhibitor of P450 1A1/1A2 catalysed reactions and antibody for hepatic P450 1A1/1A2 isoenzymes produced a concentration-dependent inhibition of EROD activity, metyrapone, an inhibitor of P450 2B1/2B2 and antibody for hepatic P450 2B1/2B2 significantly inhibited the activity of PROD and BROD in vitro. The data suggest that, as in the case of liver, dealkylation of alkoxyresorufins can be used as a biochemical tool to characterise the xenobiotic metabolising P450s and substrate selectivity of P450 isoenzymes in rat brain microsomes. 相似文献

Effects of pyridine and pyridine-N-oxide on the monooxygenase system of rat liver microsomes have been studied. Pyridine (200 mg/kg) increased total cytochrome P-450 content and activated metabolism of some specific substrates 24 hours after injection. There was an increase in the degree of p-nitrophenol and chlorzoxazone hydroxylation due to increasing ethanol-induced cytochrome P-450IIE1 content. Pyridine was also able to induce cytochrome P-450IIB1 in rat microsomes; this reaction was accompanied by acceleration of 7-pentoxyresorufin 0-dealkylation. Cytochrome P-450IA1 appearance in liver microsomes was associated with increasing content of cytochrome P-450IA2. Dealkylation rates for specific substrates (7-ethoxyresorufin and 7-methoxyresorufin) were also increased. Similar to pyridine, pyridine-7-oxide induced cytochromes P-450IIE1, P-450IIB1/B2, and P-450IA1/A2, resulting in activation of specific substrate metabolism. Hence, pyridine and its derivative pyridine-N-oxide can be regarded as effective inducers of cytochrome P-450. 相似文献

A highly sensitive fluorometric assay for the determination of monooxygenase activity in liver microsomes is described. The assay is based on the use of 3-chloro-7-methoxy-4-methylcoumarin which is demethylated to 3-chloro-7-hydroxy-4-methylcoumarin. The rate of formation of 3-chloro-7-hydroxy-4-methylcoumarin was recorded as an increase of fluorescence (lambdaA = 380 nm, lambdaF = 480 nm) with time. When 3-chloro-7-methoxy-4-methylcoumarin was incubated in the presence of MgCl2 and NADPH with rat liver microsomes, a continuous increase of the fluorescence could be measured. The reaction proceeded linearly for about 10 min and at least up to a concentration of 0.1 mg/ml of microsomal protein. Besides 3-chloro-7-hydroxy-4-methylcoumarin a hydroxylated derivative of the substrate was formed as a second metabolite during the incubation. Using an excitation wavelength of 380 nm and a fluorescence/emission wavelength of 480 nm, the fluorescence of this substance (lambdaA = 338 nm, lambdaF = 422 nm) amounted only to about 1% of the fluorescence of the main product. The use of 3-chloro-7-methoxy-4-methylcoumarin as substrate enables the fluorometric determination of the O-dealkylation activity of a cytochrome P450-dependent monooxygenase system in rat liver which is inducible by phenobarbital but not by 3-methylcholanthrene. 相似文献

2-allyl-2-isopropylacetamide (AIA) causes marked induction of heme synthesis in rats and other species, degrades cytochrome P-450 in the presence of NADPH and causes experimental porphyria. Using difference spectroscopy we sought evidence of an interaction between AIA and P-450 in microsomes prepared from rat liver. AIA alone caused small and variable changes in the spectral properties of liver microsomes but markedly inhibited the Type I spectral change due to hexobarbitone. Phenobarbitone exhibited behaviour qualitatively similar to AIA. It is concluded that AIA binds to cytochrome P-450 without much altering its spectral properties but in such a way as to prevent the change induced by the Type I substrate hexobarbitone. 相似文献

Vanadate-dependent NAD(P)H oxidation, catalyzed by rat liver microsomes and microsomal NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase (P450 reductase) and NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase (b5 reductase), was investigated. These enzymes and intact microsomes catalyzed NAD(P)H oxidation in the presence of either ortho- or polyvanadate. Antibody to P450 reductase inhibited orthovanadate-dependent NADPH oxidation catalyzed by either purified P450 reductase or rat liver microsomes and had no effect on the rates of NADH oxidation catalyzed by b5 reductase. NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase catalyzed orthovanadate-dependent NADPH oxidation five times faster than NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase catalyzed NADH oxidation. Orthovanadate-dependent oxidation of either NADPH or NADH, catalyzed by purified reductases or rat liver microsomes, occurred in an anaerobic system, which indicated that superoxide is not an obligate intermediate in this process. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) inhibited orthovanadate, but not polyvanadate-mediated, enzyme-dependent NAD(P)H oxidation. SOD also inhibited when pyridine nucleotide oxidation was conducted anaerobically, suggesting that SOD inhibits vanadate-dependent NAD(P)H oxidation by a mechanism independent of scavenging of O2-. 相似文献

To investigate the similarities in the catalytic activity of blood lymphocyte P450 2E1 in blood lymphocyte with the liver isoenzyme, NADPH dependent lipid peroxidation and activity of N-nitrosodimethyamine demethylase (NDMA-d) was studied in rat blood lymphocytes. Blood lymphocytes were found to catalyse NADPH dependent (basal) lipid peroxidation and demethylation of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA). Pretreatment with ethanol or pyrazole or acetone resulted in significant increase in the NADPH dependent lipid peroxidation and the activity of NDMA-d in blood lymphocytes and liver microsomes. In vitro addition of CCl(4) to the blood lymphocytes isolated from control or ethanol pretreated rats resulted in an increase in the NADPH dependent lipid peroxidation. Significant inhibition of the basal and CCl(4) supported NADPH dependent lipid peroxidation and NDMA-d activity in blood lymphocytes isolated from control or ethanol pretreated rats by dimethyl formamide or dimethyl sulfoxide or hexane, solvents known to inhibit P450 2E1 catalysed reactions in liver and anti- P450 2E1, have indicated the role of P450 2E1 in the NADPH dependent lipid peroxidation in rat blood lymphocytes. The data indicating similarities in the NADPH dependent lipid peroxidation and NDMA-d activity in blood lymphocyte with the liver microsome have provided evidence that blood lymphocyte P450 2E1 could be used as a surrogate to monitor and predict hepatic levels of the enzyme. 相似文献

Regioselectivity and stereoselectivity of androgen hydroxylations catalyzed by cytochrome P-450 isozymes purified from phenobarbital-induced rat liver 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
The regioselectivity and stereoselectivity of androgen hydroxylations catalyzed by five isozymes of cytochrome P-450 purified from phenobarbital-induced rat liver were studied in a reconstituted monooxygenase system using testosterone (T) and androst-4-ene-3,17-dione (delta 4-A) as substrates. P-450 PB-3, an isozyme exhibiting low catalytic activity with many xenobiotic substrates, catalyzed efficient (turnover = 15.7 to 18.5 min-1 P-450-1 at 25 microM substrate) and highly stereoselective B-ring hydroxylations of both steroid substrates, with the corresponding 7 alpha- and 6 alpha-hydroxy alcohols formed in ratios of approximately 20 to 30:1, respectively. P-450 PB-2c metabolized testosterone to a mixture of 16 alpha OH-T, 2 alpha OH-T, and delta 4-A (product ratio = 1.0/0.78/0.33; turnover = 10.2 min-1 P-450-1). PB-2c is present in significantly larger amounts in mature male rats as compared to immature males, and probably catalyzes the male-specific testosterone 16 alpha-hydroxylase activity known to be induced at puberty and subject to endocrine control. P-450 PB-4, the major phenobarbital-induced isozyme in rat liver, catalyzed efficient D-ring hydroxylations, yielding 16 beta OH- delta 4-A as the predominant product with delta 4-A as substrate (turnover = 12.0 min-1 P-450-1) and a mixture of 16 beta OH-T, 16 alpha OH-T, and delta 4-A (the latter compound presumably formed via 17 alpha hydroxylation) with testosterone as substrate (turnover = 5.2 min-1 P-450-1). P-450 isozymes PB-1 and PB-5 hydroxylated both steroids with essentially the same regioselectivity as PB-4 but at only 5 to 10% the catalytic rate. Cytochrome b5 stimulated most of these steroid hydroxylations up to 2-fold with no change in regio- or stereoselectivity. The identification of specific steroid metabolites as diagnostic of particular P-450 isozymes should be useful for the assessment of isozymic contributions to microsomal activities and, in addition, facilitate comparisons of P-450 isozymes isolated in different laboratories. 相似文献

Androgen hydroxylation catalysed by Chinese hamster fibroblast SD1 cells, which stably express cytochrome P-450 form PB-4, the rat P450IIB1 gene product, was assessed and compared to that catalysed by purified cytochrome P-450 PB-4 isolated from rat liver. SD1 cell homogenates catalysed the NADPH-dependent hydroxylation of androstenedione and testosterone with a regioselectivity very similar to that purified by P-450 PB-4 (16 beta-hydroxylation/16 alpha-hydroxylation = 6.0-6.8 for androstenedione; 16 beta/16 alpha = 0.9 for testosterone). Homogenates prepared from the parental cell line V79, which does not express detectable levels of P-450 PB-4 or any other cytochrome P-450, exhibited no androgen 16 beta- or 16 alpha-hydroxylase activity. The hydroxylase activities catalysed by the SD1 cell homogenate were selectively and quantitatively inhibited (greater than 90%) by a monoclonal antibody to P-450 PB-4 at a level of antibody (40 pmol of antibody binding sites/mg of SD1 homogenate) that closely corresponds to the P-450 PB-4 content of the cells (48 pmol of PB-4/mg of SD1 homogenate). Fractionation of cell homogenates into cytosol and microsomes revealed that the P-450 PB-4-mediated activities are associated with the membrane fraction. Although the P-450 PB-4-specific content of the SD1 microsomes was 15% of that present in phenobarbital-induced rat liver microsomes, the P-450 PB-4-dependent androstenedione 16 beta-hydroxylase activity of the SD1 membrane fraction was only 2-3% of that present in the liver microsomes. This activity could be stimulated several-fold, however, by supplementation of SD1 microsomes with purified rat NADPH P-450 reductase. These studies establish that a single P-450 gene product (IIB1) can account for the hydroxylation of androgen substrates at multiple sites, and suggest that SD1 cells can be used to assess the catalytic specificity of P-450 PB-4 with other substrates as well. 相似文献

We studied the omega-oxidation of docosanoic acid (C22:0) in rat liver microsomes. C22:0 and 22-hydroxy-docosanoic acid (omega-hydroxy-C22:0) were used as substrates, and the reaction products were analyzed by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. In the presence of NADPH, omega-oxidation of C22:0 produced not only the hydroxylated product, omega-hydroxy-C22:0, but also the dicarboxylic acid of C22:0, docosanedioic acid (C22:0-DCA). When rat liver microsomes were incubated with omega-hydroxy-C22:0 in the presence of either NAD+ or NADPH, C22:0-DCA was formed readily. Formation of C22:0-DCA from either C22:0 or omega-hydroxy-C22:0 with NADPH as cofactor was inhibited strongly by miconazole and disulfiram, whereas no inhibition was found with NAD+ as cofactor. Furthermore, omega-oxidation of C22:0 was reduced significantly when molecular oxygen was depleted. The high sensitivity toward the more specific cytochrome P450 inhibitors ketoconazole and 17-octadecynoic acid suggests that hydroxylation of C22:0 and omega-hydroxy-C22:0 may be catalyzed by one or more cytochrome P450 hydroxylases belonging to the CYP4A and/or CYP4F subfamily. This study demonstrates that C22:0 is a substrate for the omega-oxidation system in rat liver microsomes and that the product of the first hydroxylation step, omega-hydroxy-C22:0, may undergo further oxidation via two distinct pathways driven by NAD+ or NADPH. 相似文献

Extracts of the adult worms of both Schistosoma mansoni and Schistosoma haematobium can metabolise some typical P450 substrates but to differing degrees. S. mansoni worm extracts displayed a approximately 12-fold higher specific activity for an aminopyrine substrate than rat liver microsomes. At 4 mM substrate concentration the demethylation reaction with N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) (5 nmol HCHO/mg protein/min) was only half that of rat liver microsomes, whereas in extracts of S. haematobium, no detectable activity was found towards NDMA. Using ethylmorphine as substrate the demethylation activity of S. mansoni extracts (1.82 nmol HCHO/mg protein/min) was 5.5-fold lower than that of rat liver microsomes. Benzphetamine demethylase activity was also readily detectable in S. mansoni worm extracts at 6.79 nmol HCHO/mg protein/min compared with 10.20 nmol HCHO/mg protein/min in the case of rat liver microsomes. When aniline was used as substrate, surprisingly, no activity was found in worm extracts of either S. mansoni or S. haematobium, whereas rat liver microsomes showed high activity towards this amine. The anti-P450 2E1 and 2B1/2 cross-reacted with both worm homogenates and gave a specific band corresponding to a protein of molecular weight of approximately 50.0 kDa. A study with anti-P450 IVA antibody revealed that while this protein was strongly expressed in S. haematobium worm extracts, no immunoreactivity was observed with extracts of S. mansoni. Immunoblotting analyses with anti-P450 IIIA and P450 1A1 did not detect immunoreactive protein in either S. mansoni or S. haematobium. 相似文献

In a preliminary paper [Decker et al. (1986) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 136, 1162] we have shown that the antimineralocorticoid spironolactone (SPL) preferentially inactivates dexamethasone (DEX) inducible rat hepatic cytochrome P450p isozymes in a suicidal manner. These findings are now confirmed, and the kinetic characteristics of such a process are detailed. In an effort to elucidate the mechanism of SPL-mediated inactivation of cytochrome P450, we have examined the metabolism of SPL in vitro. Incubation of [14C]SPL and NADPH with liver microsomes prepared from DEX-pretreated rats results in the formation of several polar metabolites separable by HPLC with UV detection. This process is found to be dependent on NADPH, O2, SPL, and enzyme concentration, as well as temperature. Furthermore, metabolite formation was significantly attenuated by P450 inhibitors CO and n-octylamine. Mass spectral analysis (thermospray LC/MS, FAB/MS, and FAB/MS/MS) of the two most prominent polar metabolites indicated that these compounds had molecular weights that corresponded to the sulfinic and sulfonic acid derivatives of deacetyl-SPL (SPL-SH). These findings document the formation of previously unreported polar metabolites of SPL by rat liver microsomes enriched in cytochrome P450p and implicate a role for this isozyme in the oxidation of the thiol moiety of deacetyl-SPL. The detection of such metabolites also implicates a catalytic trajectory that includes the thiyl radical and/or sulfenic acid species as a plausible protagonist in drug-mediated inactivation of cytochrome P450p. 相似文献
