Cytotoxicities of sodium benzoate in primary culture of hepatocytes from adult rat liver. 1987

K Oyanagi, and Y Kuniya, and M Nagao, and A Tsuchiyama, and T Nakao

The cytotoxicities of sodium benzoate was studied using primary culture of hepatocytes established from adult rat liver by a collagenase perfusion technique and maintained as a monolayer in serum-free culture medium. The activities of ornithine transcarbamylase (as a marker of mitochondria) and tyrosine aminotransferase (as a marker of cytosol) were clearly suppressed by sodium benzoate at concentration in excess of 500 micrograms/ml. Intracellular protein synthesis and DNA synthesis were also suppressed, and the suppression of DNA synthesis was observed even with a lower concentration of benzoate (100 micrograms/ml).

D009954 Ornithine Carbamoyltransferase A urea cycle enzyme that catalyzes the formation of orthophosphate and L-citrulline (CITRULLINE) from CARBAMOYL PHOSPHATE and L-ornithine (ORNITHINE). Deficiency of this enzyme may be transmitted as an X-linked trait. EC 2.1.3.3.

D002478 Cells, Cultured Cells propagated in vitro in special media conducive to their growth. Cultured cells are used to study developmental, morphologic, metabolic, physiologic, and genetic processes, among others. Cultured Cells,Cell, Cultured,Cultured Cell
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D014444 Tyrosine Transaminase An enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of L-TYROSINE and 2-oxoglutarate to 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate and L-GLUTAMATE. It is a pyridoxal-phosphate protein. L-PHENYLALANINE is hydroxylated to L-tyrosine. The mitochondrial enzyme may be identical with ASPARTATE AMINOTRANSFERASES (EC 2.6.1.1.). Deficiency of this enzyme may cause type II Tyrosinemia (see TYROSINEMIAS). EC 2.6.1.5. Tyrosine Aminotransferase,Aminotransferase, Tyrosine,Transaminase, Tyrosine
