چکیده
Previously, we reported that the properties of microsomal 4-methyl sterol demethylase isolated from liver and Morris hepatomas 5i23C and 7777 are grossly similar.The individ ual enzymic steps of this multicomponent system have now been studied, and the rate-determining step has been deter mined and shown to be identical for liver and these hepato mas. The rates of microsomal oxidative attacks of the 4amethyl, 4a-hydroxymethyl, and 4-aldehydic groups are sim ilar for microsomes prepared from rat liver and hepatoma

MICROSOME-MEDIATED BENZO[A]PYRENE-DNA BINDING AND INHIBITION BY CYTOSOLIC FRACTIONS FROM LIVER AND SKIN OF ADULT AND WEANLING RATS
Biotransformation of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) in the presence of microsomal fractions derived from liver and epiderm of adult and weanling rats was examined. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of age on the capacity of two organs in transformation of BaP. Subcellular fractions were prepared from skin and liver by ultracentrifugation and were used as the source of BaP metabolizing enzy...

Cytochrome P-450 (P-450)-catalyzed oxidation of 2,6-dimethyl-4-phenyl-3,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid diethyl ester gives rise to 2,6-dimethyl-4-phenyl-3,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid monoethyl ester and to 2-hydroxymethyl-6-methyl-4-phenyl-3,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid diethyl ester, identified in this work. A pyridine hydroxymethyl diester of the sort of the latter compound is novel; under acidic...
متن کاملOxidative Demethylation in Sterol Metabolism
Oxidative demethylation of 4-methyl sterols by rat liver microsomes has been shown to be inhibited by low levels of NADH. Using snake venom-treated microsomes to remove endogenous NADH-utilizing activities, we observed inhibition of overall demethylation at concentrations of NADH as low as 2.5 p ~ . At 20 p~ NADH, overall demethylation had been reduced to 60% of optimal activity. In the presenc...
متن کاملStoichiometry of 4-methyl sterol oxidase of rat liver microsomes.
The stoichiometry of 4-methyl sterol oxidase has been investigated by concurrent assays of rates of oxygen consumption, oxidation of reduced pyridine nucleotide, and formation of steroid 4alpha-oic acid, which is the oxidized product of attack of 4-methyl sterol precursors of cholesterol. The basal, steroid-independent rates of oxidation of alpha-NADH and alpha-NADH-dependent oxygen consumption...

Background: It is now well established that several environmental stress factors cause activation of p38 MAP kinase and JNK in various cell types to produce chemokines. Objective: To investigate the expression of CXC chemokines Gro/KC and SDF- 1a in rat's H4 hepatoma cells in response to heat shock, hyperosmolarity and oxidative stress. Methods: Hepatoma cells were maintained in MEM medium. Cel...
