Effects of culture duration, cytochrome P-450 inhibition and glutathione depletion on toxicity of diverse xenobiotics

Abstract

The toxicity of six compounds was investigated in rat hepatocyte cultures: 3-hr cultures were exposed to toxin between 3 and 24 hr after plating and 24-hr cultures between 24 and 48 hr after plating. The toxicities of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), allyl alcohol and 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP) were similar in 3- and 24-hr cultures, whereas precocene II, 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol (DC2P) and coumarin were all less toxic in 24-hr cultures than in 3-hr cultures. Pretreatment of cultures with the cytochrome P-450 inhibitor 1-aminobenzotriazole abolished the toxicities of coumarin and DC2P and decreased the toxicity of precocene II in both 3- and 24-hr cultures. In addition, the toxicity of precocene II appeared to correlate with the activity of the high-affinity form of 7-methoxycoumarin O-demethylase. Pretreatment of cultures with diethyl maleate (DEM) or buthionine sulfoximine (BSO) increased the toxicity of allyl alcohol, precocene II and DC2P, but not SDS. DEM enhanced the toxicity of 8-MOP in 3-hr cultures and BSO enhanced the toxicity of coumarin in 24-hr cultures. It was also demonstrated that the onset of DC2P toxicity was observed earlier in BSO-treated cultures than in DEM-treated cultures. For the compounds tested, culture age...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
