Induction of cytochrome P450 isoforms by carcinogenic aromatic amines and carcinogenic susceptibility of rodent animals

Pharmacogenetics
Y Hashimoto, M Degawa

Abstract

Hepatocarcinogenic aromatic amines such as 4-aminoazobenzene derivatives and heterocyclic aromatic amines of cooked food origin were found to be liver-selective cytochrome P450IAZ (CYP1A2) inducers. Each aromatic amine showed different species-specificity among rodent experimental animals in terms of the extent of P450 induction. Carcinogenic susceptibility of an animal to the amine was well correlated with the activity and/or inducibility of CYP1A2 in the animals in the early initiation phase of the carcinogenesis. In hyperplastic nodules of rat liver, expression and induction of CYP1A2 as suppressed, especially in the placental form of glutathione S-transferase-positive foci. Despite the decrease of P450s including CYP1A2 in the rat liver bearing hyperplastic nodules. DNA adducts formed by a carcinogenic aromatic amine increased, as compared to the controls, suggesting that the activity of DNA repair enzyme(s) for the amine-derived DNA adducts might decrease in the hyperplastic nodules of rat liver. Treatment of rats with lead nitrate revealed a pattern of P450 expression in the liver similar to that observed with rats bearing hyperplastic nodules. These findings may provide valuable information on the roles of P450s in carci...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.
