Fibroblast cultures were established from the lung tissue of CBA T6T6 mouse embryos. Lines characterized by infinite growth transformation (MFL) were used as untreated controls till the 21st and 29th passages, respectively. After that period, an unrestrained growth transformation developed spontaneously. The cell line was then designated as STMFL. At the 8th passage of an MFL, 20-methylcholanthrene (MC) treatment was performed. The treatment resulted in a cell line (MCMFL) characterized also by unrestrained growth transformation. The nuclear protein pattern obtained by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis showed differences between STFL and MCMFL. The activity of two microsomal enzymes - aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase and ethylmorphin demethylase - measured in the exponential growth stage of the cultures showed a decrease in the case of STMFL, compared to the MFL, and practically disappeared in the case of MCMFL.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008861 Microsomes Artifactual vesicles formed from the endoplasmic reticulum when cells are disrupted. They are isolated by differential centrifugation and are composed of three structural features: rough vesicles, smooth vesicles, and ribosomes. Numerous enzyme activities are associated with the microsomal fraction.

D001189 Aryl Hydrocarbon Hydroxylases A large group of cytochrome P-450 (heme-thiolate) monooxygenases that complex with NAD(P)H-FLAVIN OXIDOREDUCTASE in numerous mixed-function oxidations of aromatic compounds. They catalyze hydroxylation of a broad spectrum of substrates and are important in the metabolism of steroids, drugs, and toxins such as PHENOBARBITAL, carcinogens, and insecticides.
