Abstract: | To learn the reasons for the high incidence of biliary carcinomain patients with anomalous arrangement of the pancreaticobiliaryduct (APBD) mutagenicity of the bile of APBD-modeled dogs thathad received a dorsal pancreatico-cholecystostomy was assayedby the Ames Salmonella mutation test. The bile from two outof 18 APBD dogs was mutagenic for Salmonella typhimurium strainTA98 under the condition of metabolic activation by rat liverS9 fraction, while the bile from 17 normal dogs was not mutagenic.Furthermore, the bile from five APBD dogs i.p. administered1-nitropyrene (1-NP), which is a typical environmental mutagen,was more mutagenic for strain TA98 than that from 1-NP-treatednormal dogs. The bile from the APBD dogs had very high amylaseactivity, indicating that the bile contained pancreatic juiceas a result of the pancreatico-cholecystostomy. When pancreaticjuice from a normal dog was added to the bile from 1-NP-treatednormal dogs, mutagenicity of the bile increased 1.6- to 2.0-fold.Furthermore, sulfatase increased the mutagenic activity of thebile in the presence of the pancreatic juice. HPLC revealedthat the bile from a 1-NP-treated APBD dog contained mutagenic1-nitro-6/8-hydroxypyrene and 1-nitro-3-hydroxypyrene, whilebile from a 1-NP-treated normal dog did not contain these deconjugatedproducts. The pancreatic juice from a normal dog had very high-glutamyltransferase (GGT) and aminopeptidase activities andlow sulfatase activity, but it had no ß-glucuronidaseactivity. In addition, the bacteria that easily infect the biliaryduct of APBD dogs, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Enterobacterand Proteus, had high ß-glucuronidase activity. Inparticular, Klebsiella showed a very high sulfatase activity.These results suggest that pancreatic juice enzymes and bacteriainfecting the biliary duct deconjugate the detoxified mutagensin the bile and induce mutagenicity of the bile from APBD dogsor APBD patients. |
