چکیده

We report here on strain BTC, a new Escherichia coli mutagenicity tester strain for the expression of human cytochrome P450 (CYP) with an enhanced sensitivity for the detection of alkylating agents. This strain was developed first through knocking out of the genes ada and ogt in our previously developed strain BMX100, resulting in PD1000. Strain PD1000 demonstrated a significantly higher detection sensitivity towards several alkylating agents such as N-nitrosodiethylamine (NNdEA), N-nitrosodi-n-propylamine (NNdPA), 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) and N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG). Unexpectedly, this strain also showed an enhanced sensitivity towards 2-aminoanthracene (2AA), 4-aminobiphenyl (4AbPh), 2-aminofluorene (2AF) and 2-nitroanthracene (2NA) mutagenicity. Subsequently, our previously developed bi-plasmid system for the co-expression of a specific human CYP form (CYP1A2, 2A6 or 2E1) with human NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase (RED) was introduced in strain PD1000, resulting in strains BTC1A2, BTC2A6 and BTC2E1, respectively. The mutagenicity of NNdEA and NNK was successfully detected with strains BTC2A6 and BTC2E1 and with strains BTC1A2 and BTC2A6, respectively, in contrast to the corresponding MTC (ada+ ogt+) CYP strains. The (ada- ogt-) deficient strain BTC1A2 also showed an enhanced sensitivity towards the detection of 2AA mutagenicity, when compared with the proficient repair strain MTC1A2. This enhancement was much more pronounced with strain PD1000 using the rat liver S9 fraction than with strain BTC1A2.

Involvement of Four Different Intracellular Sites in Chloroacetaldehyde- Induced Oxidative Stress Cytotoxicity

Chloroacetaldehyde (CAA) is a chlorination by-product in finished drinking water and a toxic metabolite of a wide variety of industrial chemicals (e.g. vinyl chloride) and chemotherapeutic agents (e.g. cyclophosphamide and ifosfamide). In this research, the cytotoxic mechanisms of CAA in freshly isolated rat hepatocytes were investigated.CAA cytotoxicity was associated with reactive oxygen spec...

Bioactivation of Aromatic Amines by Human CYP2W1, An Orphan Cytochrome P450 Enzyme

The human genome contains approximately 13 orphan cytochrome P450 (P450, CYP) genes, of which the apparent function or substrate has not been identified. However, they seem to possess their own biological relevance in some tissues or developmental stages. Here, we characterized the heterologously expressed CYP2W1, an orphan P450 enzyme. The recombinant CYP2W1 protein containing a 6 × (His) -tag...

Studies on electron beam induced DNA damage and repair kinetics in lymphocytes by alkaline comet assay

Background: Exposure to ionizing radiation is known to induce oxidative stress followed by damage to critical biomolecules like lipids, proteins and DNA through radiolysis of cellular water. Since radiation has been widely used as an important tool in therapy of cancer, the detailed investigation regarding the DNA damage and repair kinetics would help to predict the radiation sensitivity of cel...
