Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We report here a novel observation that 2,3,7,8-tetracholorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) induced predominantly cytochrome P4501A1 (CYP1A1) in rat hepatocytes and predominantly CYP1A2 in human hepatocytes. As part of our research program to evaluate species-differences in response to CYP inducers, we studied the effects of TCDD on CYP1A activity, protein, and gene expression in primary cultures of rat and human hepatocytes. TCDD was found to induce CYP1A activity, measured as ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) activity, in both rat and human hepatocytes. TCDD induction of EROD activity in human hepatocytes (2-5 fold of concurrent solvent control), was significantly lower than that found in rat hepatocytes ( 20-fold of concurrent solvent control). Two structural analogs of TCDD, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzofuran (TCDF) and 6-nitro-1,3,8-trichlorodibenzofuran (6-NCDF), were also evaluated. As observed for TCDD, human hepatocytes consistently showed a lower response than rat hepatocytes. As most TCDD-related effects are believed to be mediated via binding of the TCDD-Ah receptor (AhR) complex to DNA, nuclear AhR levels were measured in rat and human hepatocytes after TCDD treatment. We found that the nuclear AhR levels in TCDD-treated rat hepatocytes were approximately 4 times higher than found in TCDD-treated human hepatocytes. However, the estimated binding affinity of [3H]TCDD to nuclear AhR from rat hepatocytes was similar. The species difference in response to TCDD was further evaluated by analysis of CYP1A1 and CYP1A2 mRNA levels using Northern analysis, and P4501A1 and 1A2 protein levels using Western immunoblotting. Results showed that, at both gene expression and protein levels, TCDD induced predominantly CYP1A1 in rat hepatocytes and CYP1A2 in human hepatocytes.
