Metabolism of phenacetin in V79 Chinese hamster cell cultures expressing rat liver cytochrome P4501A2 compared to isolated rat hepatocytes.

چکیده
In a genetically engineered V79 cell line (XEMd-MZ) expressing rat cytochrome P4501A2 the activity of phenacetin-O-deethylase was determined and compared with freshly isolated rat hepatocytes. In the V79 cells the apparent Km was 0.99 microM (N = 4), compared to the high affinity Km (0.23 microM, N = 4) found in freshly isolated rat hepatocytes, where as the Vmax found in the XEMd-MZ cells (14.90 pmol/min/10(6) cells) corresponded to the Vmax for the high affinity site of the hepatocytes (18.2 pmol/min/10(-6) cells). The metabolic capacity of phenacetin was quantitatively comparable to that of freshly isolated hepatocytes on a cell to cell basis.

Species specificity in the metabolism of N-nitrosobis(2-oxopropyl)amine and N-nitroso(2-hydroxypropyl)(2-oxopropyl)amine to mutagens by isolated rat and hamster hepatocytes.
The metabolic activation of the carcinogens N-nitrosobis(2-oxopropyl)amine (BOP) and N-nitroso(2-hydroxypropyl)(2-oxopropyl)amine (HPOP) by Fischer rat and Syrian hamster hepatocytes was investigated in order to determine the existence of species differences in the induction of cell mutation. The conversion of BOP and HPOP into forms mutagenic to V79 cells was studied by using the hepatocyte-me...
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 کاملBenzylic hydroxylation of 1-methylpyrene and 1-ethylpyrene by human and rat cytochromes P450 individually expressed in V79 Chinese hamster cells.
Alkyl-substituted polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons may be metabolized to highly reactive benzylic sulfuric acid esters via benzylic hydroxylation and subsequent sulfonation. We have studied the benzylic hydroxylation of 1-methylpyrene (MP), a hepatocarcinogen in rodents, and 1-ethylpyrene (EP), whose benzylic hydroxylation would produce a secondary alcohol (alpha-HEP), in contrast to the primar...

In this research, we investigated the cytotoxic mechanisms of Cochlodinium polykrikoidescell lysate on isolated rat liver hepatocytes.This micro algae is responsible for a severe and widespread harmful algal bloom in the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman (2008-2009). Isolated hepatocytes were obtained by collagenase perfusion of Sprague-Dawley rat liver.According to our results, incubation of algal...

Crocin, the main constituent of saffron (Crocus sativus L.), is a natural carotenoid which is known for its antioxidant activity. Liver as the organ that metabolizes many chemicals is one of the first position that is at risk of environmental pollutants. It is clear that compounds that exhibit antioxidant properties, scavenging of free radicals and inhibition of lipid peroxidation are expected ...
