Abstract: | Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) produced increases in ethoxyresorufin (ERR) O-deethylase, aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) and aminopyrine N-demethylase activities in rat liver microsomes which were intermediate between those produced by phenobarbital and 3,4-benzpyrene (BP). α-Naphthoflavone (ANF) selectively inhibited ERR activity in BP and HCB-induced microsomes (94% and 88%). Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) of liver microsomes indicated that HCB did not produce a detectable increase in a polypeptide with electrophoretic properties similar to those of purified cytochrome P-448 (Mr = 56 000). However, HCB did induce a polypeptide with Mr = 53 000 corresponding to one of two polypeptide bands induced by BP. This polypeptide may represent a second form of cytochrome P-448. Purification of HCB to remove possible dibenzo-p-dioxin impurities did not alter the ‘mixed-type’ induction produced by HCB. In contrast to HCB, all other chlorinated benzenes tested resembled phenobarbital as inducers. |
