Abstract

In this report, we have investigated the effect of dietary exposure to Aroclor 1254 (1–100 ppm) given chronically or discontinuously over an 84-day time interval to the female F344 rat. Cytochrome P4501A was quantified in lung and kidney by measuring the dealkylation of ethoxyresorufin substrate and by Western immunoblotting. P4501A displayed a dose- and time-dependent increase in both extrahepatic organs. The kidney appeared to be more responsive to induction than lung at all doses (maximum of 500-fold induction following 84 days exposure to 100 ppm). Further, there was evidence by enzymatic activity, immunoblotting and Northern analysis of total RNA for the presence of 1A2 in the most highly induced kidneys. The decline in 1A induction observed following discontinuous exposure was more prominent in the kidney than in the lung. These data demonstrate the sensitivity of kidney to P4501A induction capacity as compared to lung, although the persistence of the induction response was evident in lung and not kidney.

Hepatoprotective mechanisms of Yan-gan-wan
2005, Hepatology Research
A herbal prescription, Yan-gan-wan (YGW), has been known to offer hepatoprotective effects in Asian countries for years. This study investigated its mechanisms of action.
The effects of YGW on CCl₄ induced liver damage were tested in mice and cultured hepatocytes. Microarray analysis screened genes affected by YGW. YGWs effects on the expression of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2E1 and other isozymes were determined. YGWs effects on TNFα expression and NF-κB activation in Kupffer cells (KC), and TNFα promoter activity in RAW264.7 cells, were also assessed.
Administration of YGW reduced the plasma ALT, centrilobular necrosis, neutrophilic infiltration, and TNFα mRNA in the livers of mice acutely given CCl₄. The in vivo herb treatment reduced ALT release and necrosis of isolated hepatocytes directly exposed to CCl₄. Microarray analysis demonstrated marked reductions in CYP4A10 and 4A14 by YGW but no changes in other CYP isozymes as confirmed by immunoblot analysis. The herb treatment suppressed LPS-stimulated TNFα release in vivo and by cultured KC. Direct addition of the aqueous herb extract suppressed NF-κB activation by KC and TNFα promoter activity in RAW cells under LPS stimulation. This activity to suppress TNFα expression was largely separated into gel filtration fractions with the molecular size of 102–107 Da. YGW also attenuated liver fibrosis induced by chronic treatment of CCl₄ or porcine serum.
The protective effects of YGW on CCl₄ hepatotoxicity are due in part to inhibition of KC NF-κB activation and TNFα expression by small water soluble molecules, and may also be related to suppressed hepatic expression of CYP4A10 and 4A14 that are considered as alternative prooxidant cytochromes.
Selective fatty acid release from intracellular phospholipids caused by PCBs in rat renal tubular cell cultures

Furthermore, previous studies in our laboratory indicated that the changes in both membrane fluidity and arachidonic acid release in renal tubular cell cultures are related to the coplanarity or lack of the PCB congeners coplanarity [19,20]. In addition, the kidney responds to chronic PCB exposure with dose-dependent P4501A enzyme induction [21]. Fatty acids released from membrane phospholipids (PL) by cellular phospholipases modify the activities of protein kinases, G proteins, phospholipases, adenylate and guanylate cyclases, as well as ion channels and other biochemical events involved in stimulus-response coupling mechanisms.
The purpose of this study was to explore the influence of different polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) upon the release of oleic and palmitic acid from the intracellular lipids, which were previously labeled with [³H]oleic or [³H]palmitic acid, respectively. Studies have been realized with Aroclor 1248 (a commercial PCB mixture with 48% chlorine by weight), and two pure PCB congeners: 3,3′,4,4′-tetrachlorobiphenyl (a non-ortho-substituted planar congener) and 2,2′,4,4′,5,5′-hexachlorobiphenyl (a di-ortho-substituted nonplanar congener). The treatment of cells with Aroclor 1248 increased [³H]oleic acid release in a concentration-dependent manner. Our results showed that only the di-ortho-substituted congener which prefers a nonplanar configuration stimulated the release of [³H]oleic acid from the intracellular phospholipids to the culture medium, while the exposure of cell cultures to the chosen non-ortho-substituted coplanar congener did not alter the release of [³H]oleic acid to the culture medium. Finally, none of the PCBs studied could increase the release of [³H]palmitic acid from the intracellular stores significantly. The possibility that these differential alterations in the fatty acid release affect cell function during PCB exposure should therefore be postulated.
Effects of CYP1A2 on disposition of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin, 2,3,4,7,8-pentachlorodibenzofuran, and 2,2',4,4',5,5'-hexachlorobiphenyl in CYP1A2 knockout and parental (C57BL/6N and 129/Sv) strains of mice

TCDD is the prototype and most potent member of the highly lipophilic polyhalogenated aromatic hydrocarbons (PHAHs), which are persistent and ubiquitous environmental contaminants. In both acute and subchronic animal studies, there is a specific accumulation of TCDD in liver greater than in adipose tissue. The inducible hepatic binding protein responsible for this hepatic sequestration of TCDD and its congeners has been shown by our laboratory to be CYP1A2 (J. J. Diliberto, D. Burgin, and L. S. Birnbaum, 1997, Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 236, 431–433). The present study was conducted using knockout (KO) mice lacking expression of CYP1A2 (CYP1A2−/−) in order to investigate the role of CYP1A2 gene on the disposition of TCDD, 4-PeCDF (a dioxin-like PHAH), and PCB 153 (a nondioxin-like PCB) in KO (CYP1A2−/−) mice and age-matched parental mice strains (C57BL/6N: CYP1A2+/+, Ah^b/b and 129/Sv: CYP1A2+/+, Ah^d/d). Mice were dosed (25 μg [³H]TCDD/kg, 300 μg [¹⁴C]4-PeCDF/kg, or 35.8 mg [¹⁴C]PCB 153/kg bw in a corn oil vehicle) orally and terminated after 4 days. Residues of administered compounds in collected tissues and daily excreta were quantitated using ³H or ¹⁴C activity. Results demonstrated differential effects in disposition for the various treatments within the three genetically different groups of mice. In KO mice, TCDD, 4-PeCDF, and PCB 153 had very little hepatic localization of chemical, and the major depot was adipose tissue. In contrast, parental strains demonstrated hepatic sequestration of TCDD and 4-PeCDF, whereas disposition of PCB 153 in parental strains was similar to that in KO mice. Another difference between KO mice and parental strains was the enhanced urinary excretion of 4-PeCDF. This study demonstrates the importance of CYP1A2 in pharmacokinetic behavior and mechanistic issues for TCDD and related compounds.
