The effects of acetone and isopropanol on the microsomal monooxygenase system have been investigated to study the role of this enzyme system in the metabolism of nitrosamines. Treatment of rats with acetone or isopropanol (2.5-5 ml/kg, i.g.) causes a 3-4.5-fold enhancement in the NADPH-dependent nitrosodimethylamine demethylase (NDMAd) activity. This is accompanied by only moderate increases in the gross cytochrome P-450 (P-450) content and NADPH-cytochrome c reductase activity. Several other monooxygenase activities were increased to different extents from an 8% increase in aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase to a 261% increase in ethoxycoumarin O-dealkylase activities. Kinetic analysis indicates that a low Km form of NDMAd (Km = 0.07 mM) is induced by these treatments. In the microsomes of the treated rats, this high affinity form becomes predominant, in contrast to control microsomes which possess at least three Km-values for NDMAd. The treatment also enhances the metabolism of nitrosomethylethylamine, nitrosomethylbenzylamine and nitrosomethylaniline although to lesser extents than with nitrosodimethylamine. Several lines of observations suggest that the enhanced NDMAd is due to the induction of one or more specific P-450 isozyme(s) by pretreatment with acetone or isopropanol: (a) The treatment induces proteins with molecular weights (Mr) of 50 000 and 52 000 which are in the range of known P-450 isozymes. (b) The induction of these proteins and NDMAd activity was inhibited by CoCl2 and cycloheximide. (c) The induced microsomes had a peak at 450.6 nm different from the 450.0 nm peak of control microsomes. When added to the incubation mixture, both acetone and isopropanol inhibit NDMAd activity. Isopropanol is more potent than acetone and is shown to be a competitive inhibitor with a Ki-value of 0.151 mM.  相似文献

The induction of a specific form of cytochrome P-450 (P-450j) by fasting   总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7  
In previous work we have demonstrated that liver microsomal N-nitrosodimethylamine demethylase (NDMAd) activity is increased in rats by fasting, and we have postulated that this is due to the induction of a specific form of cytochrome P-450. This communication provides evidence for such a hypothesis. Fasting for 24 and 48 h caused 59 and 116% increases, respectively, in NDMAd activity in male rats, and fasting for 48 h caused a 63% increase in female rats. These increases were accompanied by corresponding increases of cytochrome P-450j (P-450ac) determined by immunoblotting. Fasting for 24 and 48 h also increased the mRNA for P-450j by 153 to 250%, as determined by hybridization with a cDNA probe of this cytochrome. The results suggest that fasting affects the gene expression of P-450j.  相似文献

Cytochrome P-450 content and, to a lesser extent the activity of tr-cinnamic acid 4-hydroxylase, are induced in ageing Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) tuber cells by manganese ions, ethanol, phenobarbital, and herbicides. Manganese, ethanol, and phenobarbital induced cytochrome P-450 and also modified the time-course of its appearance. In contrast the herbicides tested stimulated the cytochrome P-450 content without modifying its time-course. The extent of induction was enhanced when the aging medium was supplemented with iron.  相似文献

Ethanol oxidation activity has been reconstituted in a system composed of NADPH-cytochrome c reductase, synthetic dilauroylglycerol-3-phosphorylcholine and cytochrome P-450 purified from liver microsomes of phenobarbital-treated rats. This system is free of alcohol dehydrogenase and catalase activities. Furthermore, sodium azide (1 mm), a catalase inhibitor, is without effect on ethanol metabolism. There is a requirement for both NADPH-cytochrome c reductase and cytochrome P-450 and a partial requirement for phospholipid for ethanol oxidation by the reconstituted system. In addition, both NADPH and O2 are required for catalysis. Under optimal reaction conditions, the rate of acetaldehyde formation if 25 to 50 nmol/min/nmol of cytochrome P-450. Cytochrome P-450 from other sources, including the homogeneous P-450LM2 from phenobarbital-treated rabbits, have also been found to catalyze ethanol oxidation in reconstituted systems. Antibody prepared against cytochrome P-450 inhibits ethanol metabolism in the reconstituted system consistent with a cytochrome P-450-mediated reaction. Furthermore, cumene hydroperoxide can replace both NADPH and NADPH-cytochrome c reductase in ethanol oxidation and catalysis can be demonstrated in a system composed of only cytochrome P-450, lipid, ethanol, and cumene hydroperoxide. These data implicate cytochrome P-450 in the direct oxidation of ethanol by this system.  相似文献

The N-nitrosodimethylamine demethylase (P450I-IE1) is induced severalfold in liver by giving rats ethanol, acetone, pyrazole, and other related small molecular weight compounds. This induction is not the result of an increase in IIE1 mRNA, but could be due to either an increase in translation rate or a decrease in protein degradation. To determine the mechanism of induction, we measured IIE1 synthesis and degradation rates in untreated and acetone-treated rats. This was accomplished by immunopurification of radiolabeled IIE1 protein using a specific monoclonal antibody subsequent to in vivo labeling of total cellular protein with either NaH14CO3 or [3H]leucine. We found that in rats fed acetone, the rate of IIE1 synthesis was not changed; however, IIE1 degradation was markedly altered. In untreated rats, IIE1 protein was degraded via a biphasic pathway consisting of both a rapid and slow component with approximate half-lives of 7 and 37 h, respectively. However, in acetone-treated rats, only a monophasic curve with a half-life of 37 h was observed. The abolition of the rapid degradation component of the IIE1 turnover cycle indicates that induction of IIE1 by acetone is primarily due to specific stabilization of IIE1 protein. Since acetone is also metabolized by IIE1, we believe that this may be a substrate-induced enzyme stabilization.  相似文献

Previous studies demonstrated that a microsomal high-affinity N-nitrosodimethylamine demethylase activity and cytochrome P-450ac (an acetone/ethanol-inducible form) were induced by streptozotocin-induced diabetes in rats. In the present work, the induction was studied in detail in two chemically induced (by streptozotocin and alloxan) diabetic rat models and one spontaneously (BB/Wor) diabetic rat model. All the diabetic conditions caused increases in three parameters: (a) microsomal N-nitrosodimethylamine demethylase activity which is known to be a good indicator of the level of P-450ac; (b) the levels of P-450ac as determined by immunoblot analysis; and (c) the levels of mRNA of P-450ac as determined by hybridization assays with a cDNA probe for this enzyme. These increases were abolished by treatment of the diabetic rats with insulin. The results suggest that the pathophysiological condition of diabetes is responsible for the induction of P-450ac and elevation of mRNA is involved in all of the three diabetic models investigated.  相似文献

Microsomes isolated from rats treated for 3 days with 200 mg/kg body wt. per day of pyrazole, a potent inhibitor of alcohol dehydrogenase, catalyzed the oxidation of ethanol and 2-butanol at rates 2–3-fold higher than saline controls. The increase eas blocked by carbon monoxide, and was not associated with an increase in the oxidation of aminopyrine or in the content of cytochrome P-450, suggesting the possibility of an induction of an alcohol-preferring cytochrome P-450 by pyrazole. Microsomes from the pyrazole-treated rats displayed a stereochemical preference for the oxidation of the (+)-2-butanol isomer over the (-)-2-butanol isomer, which was blocked by carbon monoxide, and also displayed a type-2 binding spectrum with dimethylsulfoxide or 2-butanol. No such spectrum was found with the saline controls. These properties are similar to those which are observed with microsomes from chronic ethanol-fed rats. These similarities suggest the possibility that pyrazole treatment may induce a cytochrome P-450 isozyme with properties similar to the ethanol-inducible cytochrome P-450.  相似文献

In rat liver microsomes, all-trans-[11,12-3H]retinoic acid was found to be metabolized to polar products in the presence of NADPH. One of the metabolites was coeluted with 4-hydroxyretinoic acid on reverse-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). This reaction required oxygen and was inhibited by carbon monoxide as well as aminopyrine, aniline, and ethanol, suggesting the involvement of cytochrome P-450. Isolated rat hepatocytes also metabolized all-trans[3H]retinoic acid to polar compounds, with an elution pattern on HPLC similar to that in microsomal preparations. Microsomal activity was compared in rats pair-fed with diets containing either ethanol or isocaloric carbohydrate for 4–6 weeks. Ethanol-fed rats showed enhanced microsomal retinoic acid metabolism (50%, P < 0.01) accompanied by increased microsomal cytochrome P-450 content (34%, P < 0.005). On the other hand, microsomal β-glucuronidation of retinoic acid in the presence of uridine diphosphoglucuronic acid (UDPGA) was not affected by chronic ethanol feeding. The increased hepatic microsomal cytochrome P-450-dependent metabolism of retinoic acid after chronic ethanol consumption may contribute to the accelerated catabolism of retinoic acid in vivo.  相似文献

Studies initiated to investigate the expression of cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) in rat brain demonstrated low but detectable protein and mRNA expression in control rat brain. Though mRNA and protein expression of CYP2E1 in brain was several fold lower as compared to liver, relatively high activity of N-nitrosodimethylamine demethylase (NDMA-d) was observed in control rat brain microsomes. Like liver, pretreatment with CYP2E1 inducers such as ethanol or pyrazole or acetone significantly increased the activity of brain microsomal NDMA-d. Kinetic studies also showed an increase in the Vmax and affinity (Km) of the substrate towards the brain enzyme due to increased expression of CYP2E1 in microsomes of brain isolated from ethanol pretreated rats. In vitrostudies using organic inhibitors, specific for CYP2E1 and anti-CYP2E1 significantly inhibited the brain NDMA-d activity indicating that like liver, NDMA-d activity in rat brain is catalyzed by CYP2E1. Olfactory lobes exhibited the highest CYP2E1 expression and catalytic activity in control rats. Furthermore, several fold increase in the mRNA expression and activity of CYP2E1 in cerebellum and hippocampus while a relatively small increase in the olfactory lobes and no significant change in other brain regions following ethanol pretreatment have indicated that CYP2E1 induction maybe involved in selective sensitivity of these brain areas to ethanol induced free radical damage and neuronal degeneration.  相似文献

At least six cytochrome P450 (P450) isoenzymes, including CYP1A1/2, CYP2A1, CYP2B1/2, CYP2C6, CYP2C11 and CYP2E1, are involved in the metabolism of toluene in rat liver. Toluene exposure induces CYP1A1/2, CYP2B1/2, CYP2E1 and CYP3A1, but decreases CYP2C11/6 and CYP2A1 in adult males. Both sex and age influence the induction of P450s by toluene: in general, the inductive effect is more prominent in younger than in older animals; in males than in females. Neonatal exposure to toluene causes significant changes in liver microsomal P450 dependent monooxygenase activities during the early stage of life, whereas the enects on the rats of more than 3 weeks of age are small. Although structurally related chemicals of toluene also influence similar hepatic P450 isoenzymes, the degree of CYP2B1/2 induction increases, whilst that of CYP2E1 decreases with increasing molecular weight and aliphatic moieties. Unlike liver, exposure to toluene does not influence the distribution of pulmonary or renal microsomal P450-related enzyme activity in rats. In humans, occupational exposure to toluene is so low that it could not lead to the induction of P450. However, the induction may be seen in toluene sniffers who are exposed to high concentrations.  相似文献

The ability of phenobarbital and 3-methylcholanthrene (3MC) to induce liver microsomal and soluble enzymes was compared in Sprague-Dawley and Long-Evans rats. 3MC increased the V for the aniline hydroxylase and stimulated the formation of the hemoprotein P448 to a similar extent in the 2 strains of rats. On the other hand phenobarbital increased the V for the microsomal enzyme aniline hydroxylase and aminopyrine demethylase and enhanced the activity of the soluble enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase only in Sprague-Dawley rats. It induced a more marked increase of cytochrome P450 in the Sprague-Dawley than in the Long-Evans strain.  相似文献

Treatment of uninduced, phenobarbital and 3-methylcholanthrene induced rats with fluroxene and allyl-iso-propylacetamide decreased hepatic microsomal cytochrome P-450 and equivalently decreased microsomal heme, aniline binding and p-nitroanisole demethylase. In contrast, ethylmorpnine demethylase, benzpyrene-3-hydroxylase and ethoxyresofurin deethylase were not in all cases decreased in proportion to the loss of cytochrome P-450. After phenobarbital induction fluroxene and allyl-iso-propylacetamide degrade multiple forms of cytochrome P-450, but degrade in the greatest amounts the form(s) of cytochrome P-450 inducible by phenobarbital. After 3-methylcholanthrene induction fluroxene preferentially degrades cytochrome P-448, while allyl-iso-propylacetamide is relatively specific for the form(s) of cytochrome P-450 inducible by phenobarbital.  相似文献

One of each constitutive form of cytochrome P-450 from liver microsomes of adult male and female rats was purified essentially following the same method to an apparent homogeneity as judged by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The molecular weights estimated by the electrophoresis were 52,000 and 50,000 for forms of cytochrome P-450, P-450-male, and P-450-female, purified from male and female rats, respectively. In addition, the purified preparations of P-450-male and P-450-female showed properties different from each other with respect to spectral characteristics and catalytic activities. In Ouchterlony double diffusion plates, partially purified rabbit immunoglobulin G (IgG) raised against P-450-male and P-450-female showed very weak or no cross-reactivity with P-450-female and P-450-male, respectively. From these results, P-450-male was confirmed to be a form distinct from P-450-female. The anti-P-450-male and anti-P-450-female antibodies, which had been further purified by immunoadsorption, did not form any apparent precipitation bands with liver microsomes from untreated female and male rats, respectively. Supporting this, radial immunodiffusion analysis for P-450-male and P-450-female with an agarose gel impregnated with the rabbit antibodies showed that P-450-male and P-450-female appear in liver microsomes rather specifically depending on the sex hormones. Based on these results, sex differences in drug metabolism in the rat were confirmed as explicable, at least in part, by the presence of distinct forms of cytochrome P-450 in microsomes of male and female rats.  相似文献

One of the mRNAs that accumulates during the ripening of avocado (Persea americana Mill. cv Hass) has been previously identified as a cytochrome P450 (P450) monooxygenase and the corresponding gene designated CYP71A1. In this report we demonstrate that during ripening the accumulation of antigenically detected CYP71A1 gene product (CYP71A1) correlates with increases in total P450 and two P450-dependent enzyme activities: para-chloro-N-methylaniline demethylase, and trans-cinnamic acid hydroxylase (tCAH). To determine whether both of these activities are derived from CYP71A1, we have expressed this protein in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) using a galactose-inducible yeast promoter. Following induction, the microsomal fraction of transformed yeast cells undergoes a large increase in P450 level, attributable almost exclusively to the plant CYP71A1 protein. These membranes exhibit NADPH-dependent para-chloro-N-methylaniline demethylase activity at a rate comparable to that in avocado microsomes but have no detectable tCAH. These results demonstrate both that the CYP71A1 protein is not a tCAH and that a plant P450 is fully functional upon heterologous expression in yeast. These findings also indicate that the heterologous P450 protein can interact with the yeast NADPH:P450 reductase to produce a functional complex.  相似文献

Parameters of oxidative stress, microsomal cytochrome P450 activity and peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation were studied in liver of rats following acetone (1% v/v) consumption for 7 days. Acetone treatment increased the activity of catalase and decreased the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GTPx), but did not significantly modify the liver content of malondialdehyde (MDA) and reduced glutathione. Also, acetone increased the total content of cytochrome P450, the microsomal lauric acid hydroxylation, aminopyrine N-demethylation and the peroxisomal beta-oxidation of palmitoyl CoA. These effects were similar to those found previously in starved and ethanol-treated rats, supporting the hypothesis that ketone bodies would be the common inducer of microsomal and peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation in these metabolic states.  相似文献

Ethanol metabolism was studied in isolated hepatocytes of fed and fasted guinea pigs. Alcohol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.1) activities of fed or fasted liver cells were 2.04 and 1.88 μmol/g cells/min, respectively. Under a variety of in vitro conditions, alcohol dehydrogenase operates in fed hepatocytes at 34–74% and in fasted liver cells at 23–61% of its maximum velocity, respectively. Hepatocytes of fed animals, incubated in Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate buffer, oxidized ethanol at an average rate of 0.69 μmol/g wet weight cells/min, whereas cells of 48-h fasted animals consumed only 0.44 μmol/g/min under identical conditions. Various substrates and metabolites of intermediary metabolism significantly enhanced ethanol oxidation in fed liver cells. Maximum stimulatory effects were achieved with alanine (+138%) and pyruvate (+102%), followed in decreasing order by propionate, lactate, fructose, dihydroxyacetone, and galactose. In contrast to substrate couples such as lactate/pyruvate and glycerol/dihydroxyacetone, sorbitol with or without fructose significantly inhibited ethanol oxidation. The addition of hydrogen shuttle components such as malate, aspartate, or glutamate to fasted hepatocytes resulted in significantly higher stimulation of ethanol uptake than in fed hepatocytes. Also, the degree of inhibition of shuttle activity by n-butylmalonate was more pronounced in fasted liver cells (77% inhibition) than in fed cells (59% inhibition). These data as well as oxygen kinetic studies in intact guinea pig hepatocytes utilizing uncouplers (carbonyl cyanide-p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone, dinitrophenol), electron-transport inhibitors (rotenone, antimycin), and malate-aspartate shuttle inhibitors (aminooxyacetate, n-butylmalonate) strongly suggested that the malate-aspartate shuttle is the predominant hydrogen transport system during ethanol oxidation in guinea pig liver.Comparison of the alcohol dehydrogenase-inhibitors 4-methylpyrazole and pyrazole on ethanol oxidation demonstrated that the alcohol dehydrogenase system is quantitatively the most important alcohol-metabolizing pathway in guinea pig liver. Supporting this conclusion, it was found that the H2O2-forming substrate glycolate slightly increased ethanol oxidation in liver cells of control animals (+26%), but prior inhibition of catalase by 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole resulted in a significant increase (+25%) instead of a decrease in alcohol oxidation. This finding does not support a quantitatively important role of peroxidatic oxidation of ethanol by catalase in liver.Cytosolic NADNADH ratios were greatly shifted toward reduction during ethanol oxidation. These reductive shifts were even more pronounced when cells were incubated in the presence of fatty acids (octanoate, oleate) plus ethanol. Inhibitor studies with 4-methylpyrazole demonstrated that the decrease of the cytosolic NADNADH ratio during fatty acid oxidation was due to an inhibition of hydrogen transport from cytosol to mitochondria and not the result of transfer of hydrogen, generated by fatty acid oxidation, from mitochondria to cytosol. Lactate plus pyruvate formation was slightly inhibited by ethanol in fed hepatocytes but greatly accelerated in fasted cells; this latter effect was mostly the result of increased lactate formation. Such regulation may represent a hepatic mechanism of alcoholic lactic acidosis as observed in human alcoholics. The ethanol-induced decrease of the mitochondrial NADNADH ratio was prevented by addition of 4-methylpyrazole. Endogenous ketogenesis was greatly increased (+80%) by ethanol in fed liver cells. This effect of ethanol was blunted in the presence of glucose. Propionate, by competing with fatty acid oxidation, was strongly antiketogenic. This effect was alleviated by ethanol. In 48-h fasted hepatocytes, endogenous ketogenesis was enhanced by 84%. Although ethanol did not further stimulate endogenous ketogenesis under these conditions, alcohol significantly increased ketogenesis in the presence of octanoate or oleate. This stimulatory effect of ethanol was almost completely prevented by 4-methylpyrazole. These findings demonstrate that the syndrome of alcoholic ketoacidosis may be due, at least partially, to the additional stimulation of ketogenesis by or from ethanol during fatty acid oxidation in the fasting state.  相似文献

The administration of acetate or sulfanilamide depressed the porphyric response of rats to 3,5-dicarbethoxy-1,4-dihydrocollidine. The induction of δ-aminolevulinate synthetase (EC 2.3.1.37) in porphyric rats was decreased by acetate administration and δ-aminolevulinate synthetase activity in hepatic homogenates was inhibited by acetate. Succinate reversed the inhibition by acetate in vitro. Since an alteration of heme biosynthesis by acetate was observed, the effect of acetate on the induction of hepatic microsomal cytochrome P-450 and microsomal mixed-function oxidase by phenobarbital was examined. Acetate prevented the induction of hepatic mixed-function oxidase and cytochrome P-450 by phenobarbital. Unlike the action of other inhibitors of hepatic heme biosynthesis, acetate also prevented the induction by phenobarbital of NADPH-cytochrome c reductase (EC 1.6.99.3). These findings suggest that acetate may be inhibiting heme biosynthesis by effects on δ-aminolevulinate synthetase, the rate-limiting step in heme biosynthesis, by alteration of the induction of this enzyme and by a direct effect on the enzymic reaction itself. It is suggested that acetate may be involved in the glucose effect related to the inhibition of the induction of δ-aminolevulinate synthetase.  相似文献

Maximal rates of mixed-function oxidation of p-nitroanisole and the glucuronidation of p-nitrophenol in perfused livers from phenobarbital-treated rats varied directly with the nutritional state of the rat (i.e., fasted < fed < fasted-refed). Rates correlated with intracellular concentrations of NADPH, UDP-glucuronic acid, and glycogen but not with amounts of cytochrome P-450 or glucuronyltransferase activity. These data support the hypothesis that mixed-function oxidation and glucuronidation are coregulated in intact cells by carbohydrate-dependent cofactor synthesis.  相似文献
