Extraction of lyophilized hepatic microsomes from untreated rats, once with l-butanol and twice with acetone, increased benzo[a]pyrene hvdroxylase and benzphetamine N-demethylase activities by 25 per cent: these activities were increased further by the addition of dilauroylglyceryl-3-phosphorycholine (di-12-GPC). More extensive extraction with 1-butanol decreased the activities by 50 per cent; addition of di-12-GPC restored activity to control levels. Kinetic analysis indicated that a single extraction with 1-butanol decreased the apparent Km for benzo[a]pyrene 6-fold, with no change in Vmax; addition of di-12-GPC had no effect on the apparent Km or Vmax. In contrast, a single extraction with l-butanol of microsomes from 3-methycholanthrene (3-MC)-treated rats had no effect on the apparent Km or Vmax for benzo[a]pyrene. Lineweaver-Burk plots of benzphetamine 4N-demethylase activity in extracted microsomes from untreated rats and in both unextracted and extracted microsomes from 3-MC-treated rats were non-linear with a marked increase in activity at higher benzphetamine concentrations. 相似文献

Preincubation of hepatic, adrenal, or pulmonary microsomal preparations with cadmium produced time-dependent decreases in monooxygenase (benzphetamine demethylase, benzo(a)pyrene hydroxylase) activities. Addition of cadmium after the preincubation period had little or no effect on microsomal metabolism. As a result of preincubation with cadmium, hepatic cytochrome P-450 levels declined and the magnitude of the benzphetamine-induced type I spectral change in hepatic microsomes decreased. Cadmium also decreased hepatic NADPH-cytochrome c and NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase activities but had no effect on NADH-cytochrome c reductase activity. Cadmium similarly decreased cytochrome P-450 concentrations and NADPH-cytochrome c reductase activity in lung microsomes without affecting NADH-cytochrome c reductase activity. Preincubation of adrenal microsomes with cadmium had no effects on cytochrome P-450 levels, on the benzphetamine-induced type I spectrum, or on NADH-cytochrome c reductase activity. However, decreases in adrenal NADPH-cytochrome c and NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase activities resulted which closely paralleled the decline in adrenal monooxygenase activities. EDTA extraction of hepatic, adrenal, or pulmonary microsomes after the preincubation exposure removed about 95% of the cadmium but did not diminish the effects of the metal on microsomal monooxygenases. The results indicate that cadmium has somewhat varying sites of action on hepatic, adrenal, and pulmonary monooxygenases, but in all three tissues electron transfer to cytochrome P-450 is compromised. In addition, the effects of cadmium on microsomal metabolism persist fully even after removal of approximately 95% of the metal. 相似文献

Studies were carried out to compare the effects of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) in vivo and in vitro on adrenal and hepatic microsomal metabolism in guinea pigs. CCl4 administration in vivo decreased adrenal and hepatic microsomal cytochrome P-450 concentrations and lowered benzphetamine (BZ) demethylase and benzo[a]pyrene (BP) hydroxylase activities in both tissues. NADPH-cytochrome c reductase activity was decreased in hepatic but not in adrenal microsomes. Addition of CCl4 to adrenal or hepatic microsomes in vitro produced a type I difference spectrum suggesting binding of CCl4 to cytochrome(s) P-450; its magnitude was far greater in adrenal than in liver. Incubation of adrenal or hepatic microsomes in vitro with CCl4 alone had little or no effect on mixed-function oxidase activity or on lipid peroxidation. However, when microsomes were incubated with CCl4 + NADPH, the rates of BZ and BP metabolism were decreased, cytochrome P-450 concentrations were decreased, and lipid peroxidation was increased. The effects of CCl4 + NADPH on enzyme activities were greater in adrenal than in hepatic microsomes. Addition of 1.0 mM EDTA or 0.1 mM MnCl2 to the incubation medium blocked the effects of CCl4 + NADPH on lipid peroxidation in adrenal and liver but had no effect on the decreases in mixed-function oxidase activities. The results indicate the following: (1) the adrenal cortex in the guinea pig is an active site of CCl4 metabolism; (2) CCl4 metabolism results in a loss of microsomal enzyme activities in the adrenal as well as liver; and (3) lipid peroxidation is not obligatory for the CCl4-mediated destruction of microsomal enzymes. 相似文献

The effects of cumene hydroperoxide on microsomal mixed-function oxidase components and enzyme activities were determined. In vitro cumene hydroperoxide treatment decreased cytochrome P-450 content, benzphetamine N-demethylase activity and aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase activity of hepatic and renal microsomes from adult male and female rats, and of hepatic microsomes from fetal rats. Cumene hydroperoxide-treated microsomes, as well as fetal liver and adult renal microsomes, which are naturally low in cytochrome P-450 and mixed-function oxidase activity, were used to incorporate partially purified hepatic cytochrome P-448 isolated from 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin-pretreated immature male rats. This resulted in an enhanced rate of benzo[a]pyrene hydroxylation. Aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase activity was increased 12-, 26-. 31- and 53-fold when 1.0 nmole of partially purified cytochrome P-448 was incubated with fetal liver microsomes, microsomes from kidney cortex of female rats, and cumene hydroperoxide-pretreated hepatic microsomes from female and male rats, respectively. The increased rate of benzo[a]pyrene hydroxylation was linear with cytochrome P-448 over the range 0.25 to 1.0 nmole. Because cumene hydroperoxide-pretreated microsomes from male rat liver and the hepatic and renal microsomes from female rats have a combination of high NADPH-cytochrome c reductase activity and low mixed-function oxidase activity, they are an attractive choice for catalytic studies of the interaction between cytochrome P-448 and microsomes. 相似文献

Microsomes isolated from rat small intestinal mucosa and liver were used to study the effects of disulfiram and diethyldithiocarbamate on benzo[a]pyrene monooxygenase activity. This activity was decreased in the intestinal microsomes to 25 per cent of control 24 hr after a single oral dose of disulfiram. In contrast, daily administration of disulfiram for 5 days produced a dose related increase of benzo[a]pyrene monooxygenase activity, above control level. The elevated activities were accompanied by a concomitant increase in the concentration of cytochrome P-450. This benzo[a]pyrene monooxygenase activity was further stimulated by addition of α-naphthoflavone to the incubation medium. Furthermore, the absorption maximum of this cytochrome was at 450 nm in the CO bound reduced difference spectrum. These observations indicate that the disulfiram induced cytochrome P-450 was of the control type. Daily pretreatment with diethyldithiocarbamate impaired both intestinal and liver microsomes at benzo[a]pyrene monooxygenase activities. Pretreatment with a single dose of 3-methylcholanthrene resulted in a more than 10-fold increase of intestinal benzo[a]pyrene monooxygenase activity after 24 hr. Administration of disulfiram 24 hr before treatment appeared to potentiate the 3-methylcholanthrene induced increase of intestinal benzo[a]pyrene monooxygenase activity. In vitro addition of disulfiram and diethyldithiocarbamate to incubates of intestinal or liver microsomes inhibited benzo[a]pyrene metabolism to various extents; the liver being more sensitive. Disulfiram was approximately 50-fold more potent as an inhibitor than diethyldithiocarbamate. The in vitro inhibition of intestinal benzo[a]pyrene monooxygenase activity obtained with disulfiram appeared to be caused both by direct interaction with the monooxygenase system and through NADPH dependent metabolic activation of disulfiram, while the inhibition of diethyldithiocarbamate may be a result of the latter process only. 相似文献

Intragastric treatment of rats with 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) dramatically increased the metabolism of benzo(a)pyrene in the liver of Wistar and Gunn rats. The formation of both ethyl acetate and water-soluble metabolites increased several fold in liver homogenate and microsomal preparations. TCDD treatment increased the rate of formation of unidentified polar ethyl acetate-soluble metabolites 300-fold in hepatic microsomes of Wistar rats and 410-fold in those of Gunn rats. The corresponding increases were about 80- and 30-fold for both 9, 10- and 7,8-dihydrodiols. The rate of formation of 4,5-dihydrodiol increased 18-fold in hepatic microsomes from both Wistar and Gunn rats. The amounts of phenols and quinones increased relatively less. TCDD pretreatment also increased the metabolism of benzo(a)pyrene in the microsomes of the lung and kidney, but the increase was relatively smaller than in the liver. Benzo(a)pyrene was metabolized faster by the microsomes of the kidney from Gunn rats than by those from Wistar rats. The amount of covalently bound metabolites of benzo(a)pyrene in the microsomal protein of the liver increased about 20-fold after TCDD treatment, but no significant changes could be detected in the lung or kidney. 相似文献

The catalytic activities of hepatic microsornes from untreated, phenobarbital-treated and 3-methylcholanthrene-treated adult rabbits with respect to benzo[a]pyrene hydroxylation and the activation of (?)(rflw-7,8-dihydroxy-7,8-dihydrobenzo[a]pyrene[(?)trans-7,8-diol] to DNA-binding metabolites were determined in the absence and presence of mixed-function oxidase inhibitors and compared to the corresponding activities of the individual enzyme systems. Treatment of rabbits with phnobarbital led to induction of P-450LM2 and a concomitant 3-fold enhancement in microsomal benzo[a]pyrene hydroxylase activity, whereas the conversion of (?)trans-7,8-diol to DNA-binding products was unaffected. Homogeneous phenobarbital-inducible P-450LM2 exhibited the highest activity and specificity toward benzo[a]pyrene and the lowest activity toward (?)trans-7,8-diol. Conversely, P-450LM4 was the major form of cytochrome P-450 induced in rabbit liver by 3-methylcholanthrene or β-naphthoflavone, and this was associated in microsomes with an increase in the metabolism of (?)trans-7, 8-diol but not of benzo[a]pyrene. Homogeneous P-450LM4 preferentially Catalyzed the oxygénation of (?)trans-7,8-diol, but was largely ineffective with benzo[a]pyrene. Partially purified P-450LM7 lacked substrate specificity, for it metabolized both benzo[a]pyrene and (?)trans-7, S-diol at comparable rates. Additionally, 7,8-benzoflavone strongly inhibited benzo[a]pyrene hydroxylation by P-450LM4 and phenobarbital-induced microsomes, as well as (?)trans-7,8-diol metabolism by P-450LM4 and 3-methyl-cholanthrene-induced microsomes; in contrast, the activity of control microsomes with either substrate, and the activities of P-450LM4 and LM2 with benzo[a]pyrene and (?)trans-7 ,8-diol, respectively, were only partially or slightly decreased by 7,8-benzoflavone. Unlike 7,8-benzoflavone, butylated hydroxytoluene inhibited benzo[a]pyrene hydroxylation only. Thus, different forms of rabbit liver microsomal cytochrome P-450 were involved in the metabolism of benzo[a]pyrene and its 7,8-dihydrodiol. The results also demonstrate that the changes in substrate specificity and inhibitor sensitivity seen in phenobarbital- and 3-methylcholanthrene-induced microsomes relative to control rabbit liver microsomes can be accounted for by the catalytic properties of a specific form of cytochrome P-450 that prevails in these preparations, P-450LM2 and LM4, respectively. 相似文献

The effects of treating lactating rats with 3-methylcholanthrene (3-MC) or β-naphthoflavone (β-NF) (three i.p. injections of 20 or 40 mg compound/kg of body weight) on hepatic microsomal enzymes of their suckling young were examined. This treatment had no apparent effect on the contents of cytochromes P-450 and b5 or on the activities of NADH- and NADPH-cytochrome c reductases in hepatic microsomes of the pups. However, these microsomes had 8- and 6-fold increased capacities for hydroxylations of benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) and N-2-fluorenylacetamide (2-FAA) respectively. These increases were about 5-fold greater in the hepatic microsomes of the dams, in which they were inhibited by 0.1 mM α-naphthoflavone (α-NF) invitro 72–81 and 89–95% and by 0.1 mM β-NF in vitro 12–41 and 60–76% respectively. In the pups, the induced activities were also inhibited, whereas the basal hydroxylations of B[a]P and 2-FAA were stimulated by α-NF 2.7- and 5.0-fold and by β-NF 1.4- and 2.4-fold respectively. The inhibition of the induced hydroxylations by α-NF and β-NF may be explained by their higher affinities (Ks, 0.14 and 0.28 μM, respectively) than those of B[a]P and 2-FAA (Ks 4.4 to 8.8 and 2.4 to 3.1 μM, respectively) for cytochrome P-450. Whereas β-NF gave a type I binding spectrum, α-NF gave a spectrum composed of type I and reverse-type I elements. Analysis of metabolites of 2-FAA showed differences in their type and amounts formed by hepatic microsomes of β-NF-treated lactating rats and their pups. Thus, in the dams the formation of 1-, 3-, 5-, 7-, 9- and N-hydroxy-2-FAA was increased by 9-, 30-, 40-, 5-, 20- and 5-fold respectively. In the pups, the formation of 1-, 3-, 5-, 7- and N-hydroxy-2-FAA was increased by 2-, 30-, 18-, 4- and 27-fold respectively. All these increased hydroxylations were inhibited by 0.1 mM α-NF in vitro. In the hepatic microsomes of pups from the corn oil-treated dams, α-NF stimulated all ring-hydroxylations, but not N-hydroxylation of 2-FAA. The results support earlier findings that microsomal enzymes differ in immature and mature rat liver and suggest that N-hydroxylation of 2-FAA, the activation required for carcinogenesis, and specific ring-hydroxylations are catalyzed by different cytochrome P-450 isozymes. Our studies showed that 3-MC and β-NF and/or their metabolites were transferred with milk of dams to their suckling pups in which they modified metabolism of carcinogens. 相似文献

The effects of harman and norharman, nitrogen-containing pyrolysis products of amino acids present in cigarette smoke, on the metabolism of benzo(a)pyrene in rat lung microsomes in vitro and in isolated perfused rat lung were studied. In rat lung microsomes, both harman and norharman inhibited the metabolism of benzo(a)pyrene (BP) to dihydrodiols, phenols and quinones at concentrations over approximately 0.05 mM. The formation of BP-7, 8-dihydrodiol and BP-9, 10-dihydrodiol was inhibited more than that of BP-4, 5-dihydrodiol. No appreciable differences in inhibition were seen between microsomes from control or 3-methylcholanthrene-pretreated rats. In isolated perfused rat lung, 1 mM of harman in the perfusion fluid inhibited the formation of ethyl acetate-soluble metabolites of benzo(a)pyrene except BP-9, 10-dihydrodiol, and inhibited the total covalent binding of benzo(a)pyrene metabolites to lung tissue macromolecules. 0.03 mM of harman seemed to increase other metabolites than BP-7,8-dihydrodiol without changing the total covalent binding. These results suggest that at most concentrations both β-carboline derivatives, harman and norharman, inhibit benzo(a)pyrene metabolism and covalent binding both in lung microsomes in vitro and in isolated perfused rat lung. 相似文献

A comparison of the cytochrome P-450 forms induced in rat liver microsomes by phenobarbital on the one hand, and 3-methylcholanthrene, β-naphtoflavone and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin on the other hand, was performed using specific antibodies: anti-P-450 B2 PB IG (against the phenobarbital-induced cytochrome P-450) and anti-P-450 B2 BNF IG (against the β-naphtoflavone-induced cytochrome P-450). On DEAE-cellulose chromatography, four cytochrome P-450 fractions were separated, called P-450 A (non-adsorbed), P-450 Ba, P-450 Bb and P-450 Bc, from control, phenobarbital-, 3-methylcholanthrene, /gb-naphtoflavone- and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin-treated rats. Cytochrome P-450 A fractions appeared to be unmodified by the inducers, whereas the specifically induced cytochrome P-450 forms were always recovered in Bb fractions. The P-450 Bb fractions induced by 3-methylcholanthrene, β-naphtoflavone and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin exhibited common antigenic determinants, comparable catalytic activities (benzphetamine, N-demethylase, benzo[a]pyrene hydroxylase) and similar mol. wts. Moreover, the inhibition patterns by the two antibodies of benzphetamine N-demethylase and benzo[a]pyrene hydroxylase activities catalysed by 3-methylcholanthrene, β-naphtoflavone and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin microsomes or by the corresponding P-450 Bb fractions in a reconstituted system were quite identical. By these different criteria, β-naphtoflavone, 3-methylcholanthrene and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin seem to induce a common cytochrome P-450 species in rat liver. 相似文献

The effect of cimetidine on rat liver microsomal drug metabolism in vitro and in vivo was studied. Cimetidine inhibits aminopyrine N-demethylation and benzo[a]pyrene hydroxylation in a noncompetitive manner with inhibition constants between 1 and 10 mM. Benzo[a]pyrene hydroxylation in liver microsomes from 3-methylcholanthrene-pretreated rats is not appreciably inhibited by cimetidine indicating some specificity in terms of different cytochrome P-450 forms. Cimetidine gives rise to a type II spectral change with a spectral dissociation constant of about 0.1 mM. The prolonged administration of cimetidine does not result in the induction of hepatic drug metabolism. Pretreatment of rats with cimetidine prolongs aminopyrine half-life and hexobarbital sleeping time. These results demonstrate that cimetidine is an in vitro inhibitor of microsomal drug metabolism in the rat and this inhibition leads to pharmacokinetic drug-drug interactions in vivo. 相似文献

Studies were carried out to compare the metabolism of benzo[a]pyrene (BP) by adrenal and hepatic microsomes obtained from adult male guinea pigs. Adrenal microsomes produced fluorescent metabolites (primarily phenols) approximately three to four times more rapidly than hepatic microsomes, but the differences in the rates were considerably smaller when total BP metabolism was assessed using an isotopic assay. The apparent discrepancy between the two assays is attributable to differences in the profiles of BP metabolites produced by adrenal and liver. Separation of metabolites by high pressure liquid chromatography revealed that adrenal microsomes converted BP to primarily a phenolic metabolite with a retention time identical to that of 3-hydroxy-BP. Liver microsomes, by contrast, produced approximately equal amounts of compounds co-chromatographing with 3-hydroxy-BP and BP-4,5-dihydrodiol. Small amounts of other metabolites were also produced by adrenal and hepatic microsomes. Liver microsomes catalyzed the conversion of BP to metabolites that became covalently bound to exogenous DNA. The amount of binding was dependent upon the duration of incubation and concentration of microsomal protein. Adrenal microsomes, by contrast, did not promote BP binding to DNA. Inhibition of microsomal epoxide hydratase activity with trichloropropene oxide (TCPO) blocked the formation of dihydrodiol metabolites of BP by adrenal and liver microsomes. In the presence of TCPO, liver microsomes produced large amounts of a BP metabolite co-chromatographing with BP-4,5-oxide. TCPO also increased the rate of production of DNA-binding roetabolites by liver microsomes but had no effect on the formation of DNA-binding metabolites by adrenal microsomes. The results demonstrate major differences in the pathways of BP metabolism by guinea pig adrenal and hepatic microsomes. Although adrenal microsomes metabolize BP more rapidly than hepatic microsomes, far greater amounts of reactive metabolites are produced by the liver. Thus, adrenal metabolism of BP may be of little toxicological significance. 相似文献

Betamethasone and α-naphthoflavone produced similar activation of biphenyl 2-hydroxylase and benzo[a]pyrene 3-hydroxylase in control male rat liver microsomes. In small intestinal epithelial microsomes, betamethasone had no effect whereas α-naphthoflavone caused a pronounced activation of benzo[a]pyrene hydroxylation and a lesser activation of biphenyl 2-hydroxylation. In lung microsomes, betamethasone had no effect on either enzyme activity whereas α-naphthoflavone had no effect on biphenyl 2-hydroxylase but inhibited benzo[a]pyrene hydroxylase. In kidney cortex microsomes from male rats both compounds caused inhibition or had no effect whereas in kidney cortex microsomes from female rats betamethasone activated whereas α-naphthoflavone had no effect.Activation also occurred in isolated viable hepatocytes from male rats. The response of biphenyl 2-hydroxylase was very similar to that found in male rat liver microsomes but benzo[a]pyrene hydroxylase was more sensitive to activation and less sensitive to inhibition than in microsomes. The findings are interpreted as demonstrating the presence of more than one ‘latent’ aromatic hydrocarbon hydroxylase in rodents. 相似文献

ABSTRACTThe effects of one of the most widely used insecticides, carbaryl, on the hepatic cytochrome P-450—dependent monooxygenases were determined. Addition of carbaryl to liver microsomes from untreated or phenobarbital (PB)-pretreated rats resulted in a weak Type I binding spectrum. A much stronger spectral Type I interaction was observed when microsomes from 3-methylcholanthrene(3—MC)-treated rats were used. In vitro, carbaryl caused marked inhibition of ethylmorphine and benzphetamine N-demethylases, benzo(a)pyrene hydro-xylase, 7-ethoxycoumarin and 7-ethoxyresorufin 0-deethylases in liver microsomes. Kinetic studies demonstrated that carbaryl was a competitive inhibitor of ethylmorphine N-demethylase activity. Daily administration of carbaryl for 4 days by gavage or intra-peritoneally resulted in no significant alterations in hepatic cytochrome P-450 levels, ethylmorphine N-demethylase or benzo(a)-pyrene hydroxylase activities. The lack of effect of carbaryl in vivo may be due to the rapid metabolism of the insecticide, such that the insecticide may not be present in the liver endoplasmic reticulum to cause the inhibitory effects observed in vitro. 相似文献

An enzyme assay for the metabolism of the carcinogenic aza-aromatic polycyclic compound 7-methylbenz[c]acridine has been developed using a modification of a radiochemical assay described for the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon benzo[a]pyrene by DePierre et al. [J. W. DePierre, M. S. Moron, K. A. M. Johannesen and L. Ernster, Analyt. Biochem. 63, 470 (1975)]and Van Cantfort et al. [J. Van Cantfort, J. DeGraeve and J. E. Gielen, Biochem. biophys. Res. Commun. 79, 505 (1977)]. When the activities of control microsomes and microsomes of phenobarbital-, 3-methylcholanthrene-and 7-methylbenz[c]acridine-pretreated animals were compared, strong similarities were displayed toward oxidation of benzo[a]pyrene and 7-methylbenz[c]acridine. These similarities were seen in turnover numbers, Michaelis constants, and inducibility of both enzyme systems. 7-Methylbenz[c]acridine afforded a type I difference spectrum with 3-methylcholanthrene-pretreated microsomes. It is suggested that 7-methylbenz[c]acridine is oxidized by the same or a similar set of enzymes which is responsible for benzo[a]pyrene metabolism. 相似文献

Levels of hepatic microsomal cytochrome P-450 were depressed by administration of estradiol-17β and were elevated by administration of testosterone in both male and female juvenile brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis). Treatment-associated changes in the levels of other microsomal electron transfer components in liver did not reflect the changes in cytochrome P-450 content and were also distinct from the changes in these components in kidney. Electrophoretic analysis of hepatic microsomes revealed that estradiol treatment reduced the amounts of several proteins including some heme-staining protein at 56,000 daltons, possibly containing cytochrome P-450. Hepatic microsomal benzo[a]pyrene hydroxylase and the response to 7,8-benzoflavone in vitro were affected little by steroid treatment, and ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase activity could not be detected in any of the samples. Hepatic microsomes metabolized testosterone to a suite of products including 6β-hydroxytestosterone (the major metabolite) and 16β-hydroxytestosterone, plus as many as eleven unknown metabolites. Estradiol-17β treatment depressed the rates of testosterone metabolism and particularly the rates of 6β-hydroxylase activity but did not affect 16β-hydroxylase activity. Both activities were largely unaffected by testosterone. The results are consistent with the idea that both androgens and estrogens regulate the levels of hepatic cytochrome P-450 in brook trout and that the effect, at least of estradiol-17β, involves regulation of forms that function in specific hydroxylation of testosterone. The significance of these effects and whether factors additional to steroids are involved in this regulation of hepatic cytochromes P-450 in fish remain to be established. 相似文献

1. The metabolism of benzo[a]pyrene (BP) by gerbil hepatic microsomes is increased following induction by phenobarbital (PB), chlordecone, mirex and 3-methylcholanthrene (3-MC).2. By several criteria including the influence of α-naphthoflavone (α-NF) on BP-hydroxylase activity and BP-metabolite profiles, the cytochromes P-450 responsible for benzo[a]pyrene metabolism appear to be similar in microsomes isolated from PB-, chlordecone-, or mirex-treated gerbils. The cytochromes P-450 present in microsomes isolated from control animals and those treated with 3-MC are different from each other and from those present in PB, chlordecone, or mirex microsomes by the same criteria.3. Of the inducers used, only PB induced microsomal epoxide hydrolase activity. 相似文献

Preincubation of guinea pig hepatic, pulmonary, or adrenal microsomes with cadmium or zinc decreased mono-oxygenase [benzo(a)pyrene hydroxylase, benzphetamine demethylase] activities. Addition of the same concentrations of the metals to the microsomal suspensions after the preincubation period had little or no effect on enzyme activities. The decline in mono-oxygenase activities produced by cadmium or zinc was dependent on the length of the preincubation period as well as the concentration of metal present during the preincubation. In addition, the preincubation effects of both metals were temperature dependent; at temperatures between 4 and 37 degrees C, loss of enzyme activity increased with increasing temperature. Cadmium and zinc produced greater decreases in mono-oxygenase activities in pulmonary and adrenal microsomes than in hepatic microsomes. The results indicate that the duration of exposure of hepatic and extrahepatic microsomal preparations to cadmium or zinc in vitro is an important determinant of effects on mono-oxygenases. 相似文献

Experiments were performed to study the mechanism of action of drug substrates on lipid peroxidation in rat hepatic microsomes. Addition of the drug substrates, aniline, β-diethylaminoethyl diphenylpropylacetate (SKF-525A), aminopyrine, benzo[a]pyrene or ethylmorphine, to hepatic microsomes causes almost complete inhibition of NADPH-induced (enzymatic) lipid peroxidation. These substrates also produce similar inhibition of ascorbate-induced (non-enzymatic) lipid peroxidation in microsomes in which drug-metabolizing enzymes were inactivated by heat treatment. The substrate concentrations producing half-maximal inhibition ( are also similar for NADPH- and ascorbate-induced lipid peroxidation. Addition of metyrapone, an inhibitor of drug metabolism, has no effect on either the values or on the maximal substrate inhibition of NADPH-induced lipid peroxidation. All five drug substrates also inhibit Fe2+-stimulated oxidation of linoleic acid. These results demonstrate that inhibition of lipid peroxidation in hepatic microsomes by drug substrates is independent of drug metabolism and is probably due to the antioxidant properties of the substrates. 相似文献

Hepatic and extrahepatic microsomal electron transport components and mixed-function oxygenases in the marine fish Stenotomus versicolor. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
NADPH-cytochrome c reductase, benzo[a]pyrene hydroxylase and aminopyrine demethylase activities in hepatic microsomes from the marine fish scup (Stenotomus versicolor) were characterized according to dependence of Ph, temperature, ionic strength and Mg2+. The kinetic properties of benzo[a] pyrene hydroxylase were variable, depending on protein and substrate concentration, with measured Km values for benzo[a]pyrene between 4 × 10?7 M and 4 × 10?5 M. The Km for aminopyrine was 7 × 10?4 M, and NADPH-cytochrome c reductase had Km values of 2.1 × 10?5 M and 1.3 × 10?5 M for cytochrome c and NADPH. respectively. NADH supported benzo[a]pyrene hydroxylation at 10 per cent of the rate seen with NADPH, and no synergism was observed. Aminopyrine demethylation proceeded at least as well with NADH as with NADPH, and there was synergism when combined. NADPH- and NADH-cytochrome c reductases were detected in “microsomes” from fourteen extrahepatic tissues, including kidney, testis, foregut, gill, heart, red muscle, hindgut, buccal epidermis, pyloric caecum, spleen, brain, lens, ovary and white muscle. Benzo[a]pyrene hydroxylase was detected in all but white muscle, while cytochrome P-450 and aminopyrine demethylase were detectable in fewer tissues. Reduced, CO-ligated absorption maxima in the Soret region were 450 nm for all those but liver (occasionally 449 nm) and heart (about 447 nm). The estimated turnover numbers for benzo[a]pyrene hydroxylase and aminopyrine demethylase, and the influence of 7,8-benzoflavone in vitro on benzo[a]pyrene hydroxylase indicate that the cytochromes P-450 in different fish tissues are not catalytically equivalent. 相似文献
