Metabolism of ochratoxin A by primary cultures of rat hepatocytes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Association of ochratoxin A with cultured rat hepatocytes occurs at 4 degrees C, and the saturation level in the medium is 0.3 mM ochratoxin A, with maximal binding after 60 min. At 37 degrees C the level of cell-associated ochratoxin A increased up to 6 h and remained at 2 nmol of toxin per mg of cell protein for 30 h. With increasing concentrations of ochratoxin A, increasing amounts of the toxin accumulated in the cells; saturation occurred at a concentration of 0.3 mM. Ochratoxin A was metabolized by hepatocytes at 37 degrees. (4R)-4-Hydroxyochratoxin A appeared in the medium at a maximal level (about 30 nmol/mg of cell protein) at an ochratoxin A concentration of 0.25 mM after 48 h of incubation. Small amounts of (4S)-4-hydroxyochratoxin A were detected only after incubation for 22 h or longer.

HEPATOMA McARDLE-RH7777 CELLS HAVE THE SAME RESPONSE AS NORMAL RAT HEPATOCYTES TO BOTH DIBUTYRYL-cAMP AND ANTICALMODULINW-7
The effects of cAMP-analogue dibutyryl-cAMP and anticalmodulin W-7 were studied on de novo synthesis and secretion of lipids in cultures of hepatoma McArdle RH7777 cells and normal rat hepatocytes. Dibutyryl-cAMP and W -7 separately caused a significant decrease in the secretion of de novo synthesized triacyl [3H]glycerol in both cultures of McArdle cells and rat hepatocytes. The inhibito...
متن کاملMetabolism and Cytotoxic Mechanisms of Nitroglycerin in Isolated Rat Hepatocytes
It has been proposed that organic nitrates such as glyceryl trinitrate (GTN), used in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, act by producing nitric oxide (NO). However, the biochemical pathway for NO formation from GTN is not well understood. In the present study, we showed that nitrate formation from GTN, by isolated rat hepatocytes, was inhibited about 50% when cellular glutathione w...
متن کاملCharacterization of metabolites of astaxanthin in primary cultures of rat hepatocytes.
The metabolism of the nonprovitamin A carotenoid astaxanthin was investigated in primary cultures of rat hepatocytes. In a time course study based on HPLC and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analyses, one main metabolite, (rac)-3-hydroxy-4-oxo-beta-ionone, was found. This metabolite was conjugated mainly into glucuronides, as demonstrated by glusulase treatment of the conjugates under sulf...

The effects and interaction between cAMP-analogue dibutyryl-cAMP and calmodulin antagonists were investigated on de novo synthesis and secretion of lipids in cultures of hepatoma McArdle-RH7777 cells and normal rat hepatocytes. Dibutyryl cAMP caused a significant decrease in the secretion of de novo synthesized triacyl [3H] glycerol in both cultures of McArdle cells and rat hepatocytes. The ...
متن کاملFunctional expression of sinusoidal drug transporters in primary human and rat hepatocytes.
Primary hepatocyte cultures are considered as a useful in vitro system for pharmacological/toxicological studies. Although expression of drug-metabolizing enzymes and canalicular drug transporters has been well documented in this cellular model, less information is available about sinusoidal drug transporter activities. This has led us to investigate functional expression of the major sinusoida...
