In the Ames test, after the addition of glutathione (GSH) or uridine-5'-diphosphoglucuronic acid (UD-PGA), we observed for Trp-P-1 an unchanged or a reduced mutagenicity by both the liver and intestine S9 fraction. For Trp-P-2, the same was true when we used the intestine S9 fraction. In the presence of liver S9 fraction, Trp-P-2 mutagenicity was also decreased by the addition of UDPGA but was increased by the addition of GSH. These results show that cofactors for glucuronide and GSH conjugation may alter the metabolic activation of Trp-P-1 and Trp-P-2 and consequently their mutagenicity.  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

The mutagenic activation of tryptophan pyrolysis products, Trp-P-1 and Trp-P-2, was studied in a Salmonella TA98/hepatocyte mutagenesis assay. Adult rat hepatocytes in primary culture were either untreated or induced by the addition of Aroclor 1254 (2 micrograms/ml) 18-20 h before the mutagenesis test which was performed at day 1 and at day 2 after the isolation of hepatocytes. The mutagenic activation of Trp-P-1 and Trp-P-2 was studied as a function of the time of incubation and of the concentration of chemical. Trp-P-1 and Trp-P-2 incubated for 20 min in the presence of untreated hepatocytes and bacteria gave rise to a weak number of revertants which doubled the level of spontaneous mutants. Aroclor-induced hepatocytes became highly competent in mutagenic activation of tryptophan pyrolysis products and the induction ratio reached 4.9 and 7.1 for Trp-P-1 and Trp-P-2, respectively, after 60 min of incubation, on day 2 of the experiment. It should be noted that the induction ratio was higher on day 2 than on day 1. When conditions were standardized, i.e. Aroclor-induced hepatocytes on day 2, final concentration of cellular protein about 1 mg/ml, 20 min of incubation, the Salmonella/hepatocyte assay produced a linear concentration-dependent mutagenic response for Trp-P-1 and Trp-P-2. By comparing the results obtained with Aroclor-induced hepatocytes and Aroclor-induced liver S9 fraction in the Salmonella test, it could be estimated that hepatocytes were 3 times less active than the S9 fraction with regard to mutagenic activation of both Trp-P-1 and Trp-P-2.  相似文献

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a potent carcinogen that can induce hepatocellular carcinoma. AFB1-8,9-exo-epoxide, one of AFB1 metabolites, acts as a mutagen to react with DNA and induce gene mutations, including the tumor suppressor p53. In addition, AFB1 reportedly stimulates IGF receptor activation. Aberrant activation of IGF-I receptor (IGF-IR) signaling is tightly associated with various types of human tumors. In the current study, we investigated the effects of AFB1 on key elements in IGF-IR signaling pathway, and the effects of AFB1 on hepatoma cell migration. The results demonstrated that AFB1 induced IGF-IR, Akt, and Erk1/2 phosphorylation in hepatoma cell lines HepG2 and SMMC-7721, and an immortalized human liver cell line Chang liver. AFB1 also down-regulated insulin receptor substrate (IRS) 1 but paradoxically up-regulated IRS2 through preventing proteasomal degradation. Treatment of hepatoma cells and Chang liver cells with IGF-IR inhibitor abrogated AFB1-induced Akt and Erk1/2 phosphorylation. In addition, IRS2 knockdown suppressed AFB1-induced Akt and Erk1/2 phosphorylation. Finally, AFB1 stimulated hepatoma cell migration. IGF-IR inhibitor or IRS2 knockdown suppressed AFB1-induced hepatoma cell migration. These data demonstrate that AFB1 stimulates hepatoma cell migration through IGF-IR/IRS2 axis.  相似文献

Developmental changes in hepatic activation of dietary mutagens by mice   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Metabolic activation of the food mutagens 2-amino-3,4-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (MeIQ), 3-amino-1-methyl-5H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole (Trp-P-2) and aflatoxin B1 by female BALB/c mice of different ages (2-24 weeks) was investigated in vivo and in vitro using Salmonella typhimurium TA98 as the indicator organism. The in vivo activation of the three mutagens was investigated in 4- and 24-week-old mice using an intrasanguineous host-mediated assay. All three compounds showed reduced levels of activation with the older hosts. Hepatic S9 fractions from female mice of varying ages between 2 and 24 weeks were used in the in vitro mutagenicity assay. To achieve optimal activation to bacterial mutagens, 5% S9 was required for aflatoxin B1 and Trp-P-2 and 10% S9 for MeIQ; age of donor generally had little effect on the profile of these protein activation curves. Under these optimal conditions MeIQ and Trp-P-2 both exhibited, as before, age-dependent decreases in activation over a wide range of mutagen concentrations, however the in vitro activation of aflatoxin showed no consistent change with age. Spectrophotometric measurements of S9 cytochrome P-450 content showed a decrease in concentration with increasing age, but this was not sufficient to account for changes observed in hepatic mutagen activation. However, changes in the activities of certain cytochrome P-450 isoenzymes and cytosolic GSH-transferases, which in turn result in changes in the activation and detoxification capacity of the liver, would appear to explain age-dependent changes in the activity of mutagens in vivo.  相似文献

Metabolic activation and DNA binding of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), N-nitrosodimethylamine (DMN) and benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) were compared in human, rat and mouse hepatocytes and human pulmonary alveolar macrophages (PAM). The degree of carcinogen activation by hepatocytes and PAM was measured by cell-mediated mutagenesis assays in which co-cultivated Chinese hamster V79 cells were used to monitor mutagenic metabolites. Hepatocytes from human, mouse and rat metabolized DMN and released the active metabolites to induce either ouabain- or 6-thioguanine-resistant mutation. The mutation frequencies mediated by hepatocytes of the 3 animal species were approximately 3-9 mutants/10(5) survivors at a concentration of 0.2 mM DMN. The variations of radioactivity bound to liver cell DNA were relatively small in cultured mouse, rat, and human hepatocytes exposed to 14C label DMN (0.5 mM) and the binding values were in a range of 6-12 X 10(3) pmoles/mg DNA. However, rat hepatocytes were at least 10-fold more effective than either human or mouse hepatocytes in generating mutagenic metabolites of AFB1 and also had a much higher AFB1 metabolite DNA-binding value. The AFB1 DNA-binding levels were 4.1, 12-27 (range), 120 pmoles/mg DNA respectively in mouse, human, and rat liver cells following AFB1 (3.3 microM) exposure for 20 h. Hepatocytes from the 3 animal species were unable to mediate mutation in the presence of 4 microM B[a]P; PAM activated B[a]P and effectively mediated mutation in the co-cultivated V79 cells. In contrast to results with hepatocytes, PAM failed to generate enough mutagenic metabolites of AFB1 (3.3 microM) and the mediation of mutations was seen only at very high concentration of DMN (80 mM). The genotoxic effects of the 3 carcinogens on hepatocytes from different species in vitro were in agreement with the in vivo animal experiments in that mice are relatively resistant to AFB1 carcinogenesis whereas rats are sensitive; B[a]P is not effective as a complete liver carcinogen in adult rat and mouse whereas DMN induces liver cancer.  相似文献

Typically, chemopreventive agents involve either induction of phase II detoxifying enzymes and/or inhibition of cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs) that are required for the activation of procarcinogens. In this study, we investigated the protective effects of phloretin against aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) activation to the ultimate carcinogenic intermediate, AFB(1)-8, 9-epoxide (AFBO), and its subsequent detoxification. Phloretin markedly inhibited formation of the epoxide with human liver microsomes in a dose-dependent manner. Phloretin also inhibited the activities of nifedipine oxidation and ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) in human liver microsomes. These data show that phloretin strongly inhibits CYP1A2 and CYP3A4 activities, which are involved in the activation of AFB1. Phloretin increased glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity of alpha mouse liver 12 (AML 12) cells in a dose-dependent manner. GST activity toward AFBO in cell lysates treated with 20 μM phloretin was 23-fold that of untreated control cell lysates. The expression of GSTA3, GSTA4, GSTM1, GSTP1 and GSTT1 was induced by phloretin in a dose-dependent manner in AML 12 cells. GSTP1, GSTM1, and GSTT1 were able to significantly increase the conjugation of AFBO with glutathione. Concurrently, induction of the GST isozyme genes was partially associated with the Nrf2/ARE pathway. Taken together, the results demonstrate that phloretin has a strong chemopreventive effect against AFB1 through its inhibitory effect on CYP1A2, CYP3A4, and its inductive effect on GST activity.  相似文献

Studies were conducted to assess the possible protective action of 16,16-dimethyl prostaglandin E2 (DMPG) against acute aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) induced hepatic injury in the rat. Evaluation of liver damage by histopathologic techniques and clinical chemistry indicated that hepatic necrosis was ameliorated by treatment with DMPG even though binding of radiolabeled (3H)-AFB1 to hepatic DNA was unaffected by this prostaglandin. However, DMPG did not protect rats against AFB1-induced mortality. These data suggest that hepatic protection by DMPG was due to mechanisms other than an interference with the activation or hepatic binding of AFB1.  相似文献

3-Amino-1-methyl-5H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole (Trp-P-2), a mutagenic principle in tryptophan pyrolysates, binds to DNA after metabolic activation by rat liver enzymes. The enzymes for activation of Trp-P-2 were found in both microsomes and the cytosol. The reaction required NADPH and ATP, metabolic and was inhibited by 7,8-benzoflavone. Considerable binding was observed with only microsomes as enzyme source, but further addition of cytosol enhanced the binding, enhancement depending on the amount of cytosol added. Inducers for microsomal mixed-function oxidases induced activating enzyme(s) for Trp-P-2, 3-methylcholanthrene being most effective, followed by polychlorinated biphenyls and then phenobarbital.  相似文献

Antimutagenicity of sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas) roots   总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11  
Antimutagenicity of the water extracts prepared from the storage roots of four varieties of sweetpotato with different flesh colors was investigated using Salmonella typhimurium TA 98. The extract from the whole roots of the purple-colored Ayamurasaki variety effectively decreased the reverse mutation induced not only by Trp-P-1, Trp-P-2, IQ, B[a]P, and 4-NQO but also by dimethyl sulfoxide extracts of grilled beef. Comparison of the inhibitory activity of the extracts from the normal Ayamurasaki and its anthocyanin-deficient mutant one suggested that the anthocyanin pigment in the flesh decreases the mutagenic activity of the mutagens as heterocyclic amines. Two anthocyanin pigments purified from purple-colored sweet-potato, 3-(6,6'-caffeylferulylsophoroside)-5-glucoside of cyanidin (YGM-3) and peonidin (YGM-6) effectively inhibited the reverse mutation induced by heterocyclic amines, Trp-P-1, Trp-P-2, and IQ in the presence of rat liver microsomal activation systems.  相似文献

Cultures of adult mouse-lung fibroblasts have been treated by series of strong and weak muta-carcinogens. Unscheduled DNA synthesis has been measured by quantitative autoradiography using automatic image analysis. Some of the muta-carcinogens (AFB1, DMN, B(a)P, DMBA, MNNG, 4-NQO) yielded a measurable UDS response, whereas others (2-AA, AFB2, B(e)P, ICR-191) usually known as weak carcinogens, gave no response. The response was not improved by addition of liver S9. This shows that mouse-lung fibroblasts possess their own but limited metabolic activation systems.  相似文献

Previous studies indicate that dietary administration of phenolic antioxidants, 2(3)-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole (BHA) and 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxytoluene, inhibits the carcinogenic effect of a number of chemical carcinogens including aflatoxin B1 (AFB1). Induction of hepatic enzymes, such as glutathione S-transferase, UDP-glucuronyltransferase, and epoxide hydrolase, has been shown to be responsible for the reduction of AFB1 cytotoxic and carcinogenic effects. The effect of BHA on AFB1 activation was examined in vitro utilizing isolated rat hepatocytes and liver microsomes. In hepatocytes, the total AFB1 content and bound form of AFB1 were 3.4 and 1.4 pmol/10(6) cells, respectively. In the cell-free microsomal activating system, 2.2 pmol were activated per mg of microsomal protein during 60 min of incubation. BHA (0.1-0.5 mM) inhibited AFB1 activation and binding in both systems in a dose-dependent manner; in hepatocytes, 90% inhibition was observed at 0.5 mM. Analyzing various AFB1 adducts, BHA (0.25 mM)-treated hepatocytes contained a significantly reduced amount of AFB1 macromolecular adducts. The antioxidant neither stimulated nor inhibited the cytosolic glutathione S-transferase and microsomal UDP-glucuronyltransferase activities. Analysis of various hydroxylated (aflatoxins M1 and Q1 (AFM1 and AFQ1] and demethylated (aflatoxin P1 (AFP1] metabolites of AFB1 in both the conjugated and unconjugated form indicated that there was a 30-50% reduction of unconjugated AFP1, AFQ1, and AFM1, whereas AFB1 was increased 3-fold. There was no significant change of conjugated metabolites. The effect of BHA on AFB1 activation in hepatocytes was compared with that of other cytochrome P-450 inhibitors; the ED50 values of SKF 525A, BHA, and metyrapone were 9 microM, 40 microM, and 280 microM, respectively. In the cell-free microsomal system, biotransformation of AFB1 to AFP1, AFM1, and AFQ1 was also inhibited. Kinetic analysis of p-nitroanisole O-demethylase activity of rat liver microsomes demonstrated that BHA inhibited noncompetitively with an apparent Ki of 90 microM. In the absence of enzyme induction, the phenolic antioxidant, BHA, blocks the oxidative biotransformation of AFB1 in isolated hepatocytes.  相似文献

2-(Allylthio)pyrazine (2-AP), a synthetic pyrazine derivative with an allylsulfur moiety, has hepatoprotective effects against toxicants. Effect of 2-AP on hepatic tumorigenesis in association with glutathione S-transferase (GST) induction was examined in rats exposed to aflatoxin B1 (AFB1). Both AFB1-DNA adduct formation in the liver and urinary elimination of 8,9-dihydro-8-(N7-guanyl)-9-hydroxy-aflatoxin B1 (AFB1-N7-guanine) adduct were also determined. Male Sprague Dawley rats were treated with 2-AP at the daily oral doses of 10, 25 and 50 mg/kg for 16 consecutive days, during which four repeated doses of AFB1 (1.0 mg/kg) were given to the animals. Rats were then subjected to two-thirds of hepatectomy, followed by administration of phenobarbital (PB). Focal areas of hepatocellular alteration were identified after 44 days and preneoplastic foci expressing the placental form of glutathione S-transferase P (GST-P) were quantified by immunostaining of liver sections. 2-AP reduced the volume of liver occupied by GST-P foci by 65-96%. Under these experimental conditions, 2-AP treatment resulted in significant elevations in GST activity in the liver. Levels of radiolabeled AFB1 covalently bound to hepatic DNA, RNA and proteins were significantly reduced in rats treated with 2-AP for 5 days. 2-AP pretreatment also caused a 45% reduction in the urinary elimination of AFB1-N7-guanine adduct over the 24-h postdosing period. The present findings demonstrated that 2-AP exhibited protective effects against AFB1-induced hepatocarcinogenesis in rats with a marked decrease in the level of AFB1-DNA adduct. Reduction of hepatic DNA adducts might result from elevations of activity of GST, which catalyzes detoxification of the carcinogen.  相似文献

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a potent carcinogen and mutagen. It requires metabolic activation to be converted to the DNA-binding product aflatoxin B1 epoxide (AFB1-epoxide). A model of this epoxide is aflatoxin B1 dichloride (AFB1Cl2). Both react at the N7 position of guanine to form large adducts. The major adduct formed can either be rapidly removed to leave an apurinic site or can undergo ring opening of the imidazole ring to form a chemically stable adduct. A number of Chinese hamster DNA repair-deficient mutants have been screened for their sensitivity to AFB1-epoxide and AFB1Cl2. Some of the mutants screened belong to different UV complementation groups. Human genes involved in nucleotide excision-repair correct deficiencies found in these complementation groups. The mutants which were found to be most sensitive to AFB1 (V-C4 and V-H1) were further investigated. Alkaline elution was used to measure AFB1-induced DNA single-strand break repair in the mutants. V-H1 repaired completely in 24 h whereas V-C4 displayed only partial repair.  相似文献

A comparison between [14C]aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and [14C]aflatoxin G1 (AFG1) binding to rat liver and kidney cellular macromolecules has shown AFG1-DNA and-ribosomal RNA binding to be lower in both organs. For both mycotoxins more was bound to nucleic acids than to protein. Two hours after intraperitoneal injection (60 microgram/100 g) of [14C] AFB1, 40 ng, 151 ng/mg. Loss of radioactivity bound to liver DNA for both [14C]AFB1 and protein respectively and for [14C]AFG1 the respective figures were 10, 7 and 1 ng/mg. Loss of liver bound radioactivity to DNA for both [14C]AFG1 and [14C]AFG1 appeared to be biphasic indicating that an enzymic DNA repair process may be operating. In vitro binding studies also showed less AFG1 was bound to exogenous DNA after microsomal activation than AFB1. This difference was not a result of differences in the chemical reactivity of the "ultimate" electrophilic species, the respective expoxides, since chemical activation studies using 3-chloroperbenzoic acid showed similar amounts of AFG1 and AFB1 to be converted to the epoxides and to bind to DNA. Studies on the distribution coefficients of the two mycotoxins showed AFB1 to be more lipophilic than AFG1 and this may be an important factor in determining the weaker carcinogenicity of the latter compound. Characterisation of the major AFG1-DNA adduct formed in vitro, in vivo and after peracid oxidation showed it to have the structure trans-9,10-dihydro-9-(7-guanyl)-10-hydroxy-aflatoxin G1. This adduct is similar to that obtained from AFB1 by activation in vivo, in vitro and after peracid oxidation.  相似文献

It was evidenced that mutagenic principles in tryptophan pyrolysate, 3-amino-1,4-dimethyl-5H pyrido(4,3-b) indole and 3-amino-1-methyl-5H pyrido(4,3-b) indole (abbreviated as Trp-P-1 and Trp-P-2, respectively) bind to DNA without activation by rat liver microsomes. The bindings of Trp-P-1 and Trp-P-2 were not random and did not introduce strand scissions into DNA. Trp-P-1 bound more easily than Trp-P-2. The bindings of these mutagenic principles to DNA were concluded by using negatively superhelical simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA from following experimental data. (1) The intensity of ethidium bromide (EtBr)-DNA fluorescence by illumination with UV light and the electrophoretic mobility of superhelical DNA in agarose gel decreased as a function of the amounts of Trp-P-1 and Trp-P-2. (2) In vitro RNA synthesis catalyzed by Escherichia coli DNA-dependent RNA polymerase and nick-translation catalyzed by Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I (Kornberg enzyme) were inhibited significantly on DNA treated with Trp-P-1 and Trp-P-2. (3) The negative superhelicity of SV40 DNA introduces unpaired regions into DNA. These regions can be cleaved by single-strand-specific S1 endonuclease to generate unit length linear duplex molecules. It was found that this S1-sensitivity of DNA decreased by treatment with Trp-P-1. (4) The cleavage patterns of Trp-P-1 treated DNA with five restriction endonucleases were investigated. The protection of the cleavage site by the drug was observed against HincII, HindIII and EcoRII, whereas not against HaeIII and HinfI. These results show that the binding of Trp-P-1 to DNA is not random. Identical results were also obtained in Trp-P-2.

However, the bindings of Trp-P-1 and Trp-P-2 were not so tight, and phenol extraction of the complex dissociated these drugs from DNA.  相似文献

3-Amino-1,4-dimethyl-5H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole (Trp-P-1) is a potent carcinogen present in cooked meat. Although the target of this carcinogen is mainly in the liver, Trp-P-1 is distributed in the thymus and spleen as well as in the liver after administration. However, the cytotoxic effect of Trp-P-1 on lymphocytes has not been examined in detail. In the present study, we investigated the cytotoxicity of Trp-P-1 against rat splenocytes and thymocytes. Trp-P-1 reduced viability of both types of cells in the same manner, the LD50 at 6 h in culture was 15 μM, and the time for the 50% decrease in cell viability (t1/2) at 20 μM was 3 h. In both types of cells, Trp-P-1 caused the activation of caspase-3-like proteases and the cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, both of which are biochemical markers of apoptosis. On the other hand, DNA fragmentation occured in splenocytes, but not in thymocytes although Trp-P-1 activated 32–34 kDa nucleases that may not be able to degrade DNA into nucleosomal units. These results indicated that Trp-P-1 induces apoptosis in both splenocytes and thymocytes by different mechanisms in which distinct apoptotic pathways may exist downstream of the caspase cascade.  相似文献

Aflatoxin B2a (AFB2a) antiserum has been previously used in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the quantitation of AFB1 and AFB2a. The present investigation examined the reactivity of the antiserum toward those adducts and metabolites of AFB1 believed to play a major role in aflatoxicosis and carcinogenesis. 2,3-Dihydro-2-(N7-guanyl)-3-hydroxyaflatoxin B1 (AFB1-N7-Gua), the putative 2,3-(N5-formyl-2-2', 5',6'-triamino-4-oxo-N5-pyrimidyl)-3-hydroxyaflatoxin B1 (AFB1-FAPyr), 2,3-dihydro-2,3-dihydroxyaflatoxin B1 (AFB1-diol), AFB1-N7-Gua-modified DNA, and AFB1-FAPyr-modified DNA were prepared by in vitro incubation or chemical methods and subjected to competitive AFB2a ELISA. The antiserum showed significant reactivity with all five compounds, indicating that it had a high degree of specificity for both the cyclopentenone and the methoxy group of the parent aflatoxin molecule. Sensitivity for AFB-N7-Gua-modified DNA, AFB1-FAPyr-modified DNA, and AFB1-diol by the ELISA method was 0.1 pmol per assay. To test the applicability of immunological detection of covalent binding of AFB1 to DNA, the ELISA was compared with a conventional radioisotopic assay in two in vitro studies. The results showed that estimates of the kinetics and substrate dependence of covalent binding to calf thymus DNA in rat microsomal incubation mixtures by both methods were comparable. The broad specificity AFB2a antibody might be of considerable value in the detection of AFB1 macromolecular adducts and related metabolites in epidemiological investigations or in the diagnosis of aflatoxicosis.  相似文献

In order to assess the effect of cigarette smoke (CS) on metabolic enzymes, male hamsters and rats were exposed for two weeks to smoke produced in a Hamburg type II smoking machine. The livers were then used for Ames liquid incubation and western immunoblot assays. Mutagenic activities of seven heterocyclic amines (HCAs) in Salmonella typhimurium TA98 in the presence of rat or hamster liver S9 were elevated up to 3.7 times above controls (including sham smoke control). Enhancement of mutagenic activities of PhIP and aflatoxin B(1) was observed only in CS-exposed hamster, whereas no significant alteration of mutagenicity was observed with 2-aminofluorene, benzo[a]pyrene, and 3'-hydroxymethyl-N, N-dimethyl-4-aminoazobenzene in strain TA98 or with six N-nitrosodialkylamines in strain TA100. 7,8-Benzoflavone and/or furafylline considerably inhibited the mutagenic activation of IQ and Trp-P-1 in the presence of liver S9 from untreated hamsters and sham smoke- or CS-exposed hamsters and rats, indicating the predominant involvement of hamster cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A enzymes in the metabolic activation of HCAs. In addition, the data suggest that CS-exposure may selectively induce hepatic CYP1A1/1A2 isoforms. Western immunoblot analyses of liver microsomes using anti-rat CYP antibodies revealed that CS-exposure increased the levels of hamster CYP1A2 (3.9-fold) and rat CYP1A2 (3.0-fold) and CYP1A1, without significant change in the levels of CYP2E1 and CYP2B and 3A isoforms in each species. The presently observed selective induction of HCA activation and CYP isozymes due to CS supports the idea that CS may contribute to enhancing effects on initiation by carcinogens which are metabolically activated by hepatic CYP1A1/1A2. In conjunction with results observed for smokers, the present findings indicate that the hamster is a good animal for studies with CS, and that cigarette smoking in combination with intake of heating protein-rich foods as a life style may markedly contribute to the human carcinogenesis by HCAs.  相似文献
