The acute toxic effects of 1,1-dichloroethylene (DCE; 125 mg/kg, i.p.) on mouse lung, liver and kidney were investigated 24 hr after its administration. DCE caused a reduction of cytochrome P-450 levels and related monooxygenases in lung microsomes with no corresponding changes in liver and kidney. Examination of the lung tissue by light microscopy revealed necrosis restricted to the Clara cells. In contrast, liver and kidney were relatively unaffected by DCE treatment, as indicated by lack of changes in microsomal monooxygenase activities and morphology.

D008810 Mice, Inbred C57BL One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development of diseases.

D003577 Cytochrome P-450 Enzyme System A superfamily of hundreds of closely related HEMEPROTEINS found throughout the phylogenetic spectrum, from animals, plants, fungi, to bacteria. They include numerous complex monooxygenases (MIXED FUNCTION OXYGENASES). In animals, these P-450 enzymes serve two major functions: (1) biosynthesis of steroids, fatty acids, and bile acids; (2) metabolism of endogenous and a wide variety of exogenous substrates, such as toxins and drugs (BIOTRANSFORMATION). They are classified, according to their sequence similarities rather than functions, into CYP gene families (>40% homology) and subfamilies (>59% homology). For example, enzymes from the CYP1, CYP2, and CYP3 gene families are responsible for most drug metabolism.
