Genetic relationship between aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase inducibility and chemical carcinogen induced skin ulceration in mice.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Inbred strains of mice show differential skin inflammatory reactivity following the topical application of polycyclic hydrocarbons. Strains also differ in the extent to which hepatic aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase activity is induced by these compounds. Differential inflammatory response and hydroxylase inducibility are genetically controlled by alleles at the In and Ahh loci, respectively. Genetic analyses and strain surveys indicate that the In and Ahh loci are identical, or very closely linked.

Tumors were induced by i.m. injections of 3-methylcholanthrene (0.5 mg) in 100% experimental aggregation chimeras derived from two mouse strains C57Bl/6J (hereafter called B6) and A/J, dimorphic for the enzyme glucosephosphate isomerase (Gpi-1a or Gpi-1b) and differing in coat color, aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase inducibility, and cytotoxic activities of natural killer cells and macrophages.

متن کاملGenetic control of interindividual variations in the inducibility of aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase in cultured human lymphocytes.
Interindividual and intraindividual variations in aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) induction by 3-methylcholanthrene were studied in cultured lymphocytes from normal adult volunteers. Using eight pairs of monozygotic and eight pairs of dizygotic twins, we examined to what extent these variations are controlled by heritable factors and whether AHH inducibility correlations in an individual wit...

Aryl hydrocarbon (benzo[a]pyrene) hydroxylase inducibility by benzo[a]anthracene was studied in 29 somatic cell hybrid clones, developed by fusing mouse spleen or peritoneal cells from four different inbred strains with hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase-deficient Chinese hamster E36 cells. Karyotype analysis plus 25 markers assigned to 16 autosomes and the X chromosome were examined. In 28...

With high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC), lymphocytes from six human donors were evaluated for their ability to metabolize benzo(a)pyrene (BP). Donors whose aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) inducibility ratios ranged from 2.4 to 4.6 and whose antipyrine plasma half-lives ranged from 8 to 17 hr were examined. The BP metabolites identified were: 7,8-dihydrodiol, quinones, and 9-hydroxy a...

There is considerable evidence that the inducible enzyme aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) plays an important role in the activation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) to ultimate carcinogens. In man, a genetic heterogeneity of AHH inducibility has been demonstrated, and correlated to susceptibility to bronchogenic carcinomas following exposure to PAH. We assessed AHH inducibility in a ...
