Relationship between induction of aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase and de novo synthesis of cytochrome P-448 (P1-450) in mice. 1976

R S Chhabra, and J M Tredger, and R M Philpot, and J R Fouts

Phenobarbital, 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethane (DDT), benzpyrene, 3-methylcholanthrene (3-MC) or 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) were administered i.p. for 1 or 3 days to genetically "responsive" (C57BL/6J) and genetically "non-responsive" (DBA/2J) mice. 3-MC or benzpyrene stimulated aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) activity in C57BL/6J (B6) mice but not in DBA/2J (D2) mice. TCDD induced AHH activity in both B6 and D2 mice. Time-course studies showed that in the first 12 h after a single injection of 3-MC to B6 mice there was no shift in the reduced cytochrome P-450-CO complex absorption spectra from 450 to 448 nm, although AHH activity increased 4-5 times over (above) that of the control group. The relationship between induction of AHH activity by polycyclic hydrocarbons in B6 mice and the concomitant synthesis of cytochrome P-448 is discussed.

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.
