Enhanced regional expression of glutathione S-transferase P1-1 with colocalized AP-1 and CYP 1A2 induction in chlorobenzene-induced porphyria

Abstract

A distinct, nonfocal expression pattern was observed for glutathione S-transferase P1-1 (rGSTP1-1) in rats exposed to either hexachloro-(HCB) or pentachlorobenzene (PeCB). The nonfocal expression was localized to the centrilobular region with the most intense staining nearest the central vein. A Western blot analysis revealed a 5- and 15-fold induction of rGSTP1-1 with PeCB and HCB treatment on an equal molar basis, respectively. Evaluation of porphyrin fluorescence also revealed a centrilobular accumulation with average porphyrin measurements of 0.319, 0.590, and 0.206 micrograms/g tissue for PeCB, HCB, and corn-oil controls, respectively. Due to the role of Activator Protein-1 (AP-1) in rGSTP1-1 expression and CYP 1A2 in the pathogenesis of porphyria cutanea tarda, immunohistochemical localization of c-jun, c-fos, and CYP 1A2 was also performed. Increased expression and colocalization within the liver lobule was observed for c-jun, c-fos, CYP 1A2, rGSTP1-1, and areas of porphyrin accumulation. These observations are consistent with studies that have associated the induction of GST-P with jun- and fos-related gene products.

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.
