Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) can induce cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) via a p53-dependent mechanism. The effect of different p53-activating chemotherapeutic drugs on CYP1A1 expression, and the resultant effect on BaP metabolism, was investigated in a panel of isogenic human colorectal HCT116 cells with differing TP53 status. Cells that were TP53(+/+), TP53(+/-) or TP53(-/-) were treated for up to 48 h with 60 μM cisplatin, 50 μM etoposide or 5 μM ellipticine, each of which caused high p53 induction at moderate cytotoxicity (60-80% cell viability). We found that etoposide and ellipticine induced CYP1A1 in TP53(+/+) cells but not in TP53(-/-) cells, demonstrating that the mechanism of CYP1A1 induction is p53-dependent; cisplatin had no such effect. Co-incubation experiments with the drugs and 2.5 μM BaP showed that: (i) etoposide increased CYP1A1 expression in TP53(+/+) cells, and to a lesser extent in TP53(-/-) cells, compared to cells treated with BaP alone; (ii) ellipticine decreased CYP1A1 expression in TP53(+/+) cells in BaP co-incubations; and (iii) cisplatin did not affect BaP-mediated CYP1A1 expression. Further, whereas cisplatin and etoposide had virtually no influence on CYP1A1-catalysed BaP metabolism, ellipticine treatment strongly inhibited BaP bioactivation. Our results indicate that the underlying mechanisms whereby etoposide and ellipticine regulate CYP1A1 expression must be different and may not be linked to p53 activation alone. These results could be relevant for smokers, who are exposed to increased levels of BaP, when prescribing chemotherapeutic drugs. Beside gene-environment interactions, more considerations should be given to potential drug-environment interactions during chemotherapy.

OBJECTIVES: The term "endocrine disruptor" (ED) is used for compounds that mimic or antagonize the effects of endogenous hormones. Synthetic estrogen 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2) and a human carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) are assigned as exogenous endocrine disruptors and an estrogenic hormone estradiol is a natural endogenous disruptor. Here, the potency of these three disruptors administered to rats individually and in combination to induce expression of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes involved in their own metabolism (CYP1A1, 2C and 3A) in vivo was investigated. METHODS: Changes in CYP protein expression after exposure of rats to BaP, EE2 or estradiol were analyzed by Western blotting. Using the HPLC method, CYP1A1, 2C and 3A specific activities in hepatic microsomes isolated from exposed rats were analyzed. RESULTS: Whereas exposure to BaP induces expression of CYP1A1 protein and its marker activity (Sudan I oxidation) in liver, kidney and lung of rats, no significant induction of this CYP and its enzyme activity was produced by EE2 and estradiol. Treatment of BaP in combination with EE2 and/or estradiol decreased the BaP-mediated CYP1A1 induction in liver of exposed rats. BaP also induces CYP2C11 protein in rat liver and kidney, but does not increase its enzyme activity measured as testosterone 16α-hydroxylation. The enzyme activity of another enzyme of the 2C subfamily, CYP2C6, diclofenac 4'-hydroxylation, is even decreased by BaP. The CYP2C11 protein expression and/or its activity are also increased in liver of rats treated with EE2 and estradiol, but its expression is significantly decreased in lung. The CYP2C6 activity is also elevated by treatment of rats with EE2 and estradiol administered individually as well as in their combination. Whereas only a slight increase in CYP3A protein expression was found by BaP in rat liver, its enzyme activity, testosterone 6β-hydroxyalation, increased significantly in this organ. In contrast, no effect or even a decrease in CYP3A expression and its enzyme activity was produced by EE2 and estradiol in rats exposed to these compounds.

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate a role of cytochrome P450 (CYP) and peroxidase in ellipticine oxidative activation in two mouse strains differing in expression of NADPH:CYP reductase (POR) [the HRN (Hepatic Cytochrome P450 Reductase Null) mice, in which POR is deleted in hepatocytes and its wild-type (WT) counterpart], and in levels of CYP1A1/2 and cytochrome b5 that were modulated by treatment of these mouse models with a CYP1A inducer, benzo[a]pyrene (BaP). METHODS: Ellipticine-DNA adducts were detected by 32P-postlabeling. HPLC was employed for the separation and characterization of ellipticine metabolites. RESULTS: Hepatic microsomes of HRN and WT mice activate ellipticine to form ellipticine-derived DNA adducts. A 2.2- and 10.4-fold increase in amounts of ellipticine-derived DNA adducts formed by liver microsomes was caused by exposure of HRN and WT mice to BaP, respectively. The results found and utilization of NADPH and arachidonic acid, cofactors of CYP- and cyclooxygenase (COX)-dependent enzyme systems, respectively, as well as inhibitors of CYP1A1/2 and 3A, demonstrate that the CYP1A and 3A enzymes play a major role in ellipticine activation in liver microsomes. In addition, the COX enzyme is important in ellipticine activation in liver of HRN mice. CONCLUSION: The CYP1A and 3A enzymes activate ellipticine mainly in liver of WT mice, whereas peroxidase COX plays this role in liver of HRN mice. Treatment of mice with BaP increases an impact of CYP1A on ellipticine activation. A pattern of expression levels of these enzymes plays a crucial role in their impact on this process.

Studie mechanismu útlumu aktivity sukcinodehydrogenázy 3,4-benzpyrenem. Inhibice tohoto enzymu při fyziologických koncentracích jantaru přesahuje 50. Pro plnou aktivitu sukcinodehydrogenázy jsou nutné dva druhy aktivních|skupin, které se liší reaktivností vůči p-chlormerkuribenzoátu. Zdá se, že benzpyren deformuje koloidní strukturu takovým způsobem, že se mění její|ibilita vůči iontové strukturální regulaci
