Biliary excretion of some anionic derivatives of diethylstilboestrol and phenolphthalein in the guinea pig.

ABSTRACT: The metabolic fates and modes of excretion of diethylstilboestrol mono[35S]sulphate and diethylstilboestrol di[35S]sulphate were studied in the guinea pig. Comparative studies were also made with [G-3H]diethylstilboestrol and phenolphthalein di[35S]sulphate. Diethylstiboesterol di[35S]sulphate was extensively eliminated in the bile unchanged. After administration of diethylstilboestrol mono[35S]sulphate, extensive biliary elimination of radioactivity was also recorded. Radioactive components were identified as diethylstilboestrol disulphate, diethylstilboestrol monosulphate monoglucuronide and unchanged diethylstilboestrol monosulphate. When [G-3H]diethylstilboestrol was administered, 3H-labelled diethylstilboestrol monoglucuronide, diethylstilboestrol monosulphate monoglucuronide and diethylstilboestrol disulphate appeared in the bile. Phenolphthalein di[35S]sulphate was excreted unchanged in bile. These findings are discussed in relation to studies carried out in the rat [Barford, Olavesen, Curtis & Powell (1977) Biochem. J. 164, 423--430] and species differences are related to differences in enzyme activities in rat and guinea-pig liver.

Biliary excretion of cyclohexylphenyl 4-[35S]sulphate in the guinea pig.

Project description:The metabolic fate and mode of excretion of cyclohexylphenyl 4-[35S]sulphate were studied in the guinea pig. Up to 54.8% of the dose appeared in the bile, the majority as unchanged ester. Substantial amounts of hydroxylated cyclohexylphenyl 4-[35S]sulphate were also excreted in the bile together with minor amounts of the corresponding glucuronic acid conjugate. When isolated guinea-pig livers were perfused with cyclohexylphenyl 4-[35S]sulphate the biliary components were the same as those in the intact animal, although the relative concentration of the hydroxylated derivative was significantly greater. When the hydroxylated derivative was re-injected into guinea pigs it was excreted almost entirely unchanged in the bile. However, in the rat, it was excreted in the bile as a glucuronic acid conjugate. These findings are discussed in relation to studies carried out in the rat [Hearse, Powell, Olavesen & Dodgson (1969) Biochem. Pharmacol. 18, 181--195] and to differences in enzyme activities in rat and guinea-pig liver. The results are also discussed in terms of the molecular-weight threshold for the excretion of anions in guinea-pig bile.

Biliary excretion of some diquaternary ammonium cations in the rat, guinea pig and rabbit.

Project description:1. The extent of the excretion in the bile and urine of the (14)C-labelled dications, diquat, paraquat, morfamquat, decamethonium and dimethyltubocurarine in bile-duct-cannulated rats, guinea pigs and rabbits was examined. 2. These compounds were excreted unchanged in bile and urine, except diquat, which was metabolized to a significant extent (18% of the dose) in the rabbit only. 3. The extent of the biliary excretion of diquat (mol wt. of ion 184), paraquat (186), decamethonium (258) and morfamquat (469) was less than 10% of the dose in the three species, whereas that of dimethlytubocurarine (653) was greater than 10% in the rat and rabbit but not in the guinea pig. 4. These results together with data from the literature suggest that the molecular weight at which the excretion of dications in the bile exceeds 10% of the dose is in the region of 500-600, which differs from the values for monocations (Hughes et al., 1973) and anions (Millburn et al., 1967; Hirom et al., 1972).

Biliary excretion of foreign compounds. Benzene and its derivatives in the rat.

Project description:1. The extent of the excretion in the bile of the rat of benzene and 21 of its simple derivatives was studied. 2. Some 16 compounds of molecular weight less than 200, and including neutral molecules (benzene and toluene), aromatic acids, aromatic amines and phenols, were injected in solution intraperitoneally into biliary-cannulated rats. Metabolites in the bile were identified and estimated. The extent of biliary excretion of these compounds was low, i.e. 0-10% of the dose in 24hr., and most appeared in the bile mainly as conjugates. 3. The biliary excretion of six conjugates of molecular weight less than 300, including three glycine conjugates, one sulphate conjugate, one glucuronic acid conjugate and two acetyl derivatives, was low (less than 3% of the dose). 4. It is concluded that simple benzene derivatives of molecular weight less than about 300 are poorly excreted in rat bile.

Biliary excretion in foreign compounds. Species difference in biliary excretion.

Project description:1. The biliary excretion of injected [(14)C]aniline, [(14)C]benzoic acid, 4-amino-hippuric acid and 4-acetamidohippuric acid in six or eight species of animal (rat, dog, hen, cat, rabbit, guinea pig, rhesus monkey and sheep) was studied. 2. These compounds, with molecular weights in the range 93-236, are poorly excreted in the bile in all the species examined and, in effect, there is little significant species difference in the extent of their biliary excretion. 3. Compounds of higher molecular weight (355-495) were also studied, namely succinylsulphathiazole, [(14)C]stilboestrol glucuronide, sulphadimethoxine N(1)-glucuronide and phenolphthalein glucuronide. 4. With these compounds a clear species difference in the extent of biliary excretion was found, the rat, dog and hen being good excretors, the rabbit, guinea pig and monkey poor excretors, and the cat and sheep taking an intermediary position. 5. There was a general trend for biliary excretion to be higher in all species when the compounds were of higher molecular weight. 6. These results are discussed in their relation to species differences in drug metabolism.

Biliary excretion of excess iron in mice

Project description:Iron is an essential nutrient yet toxic in excess. Our understanding of mammalian mechanisms of dietary iron absorption exceeds our understanding of mechanisms of iron excretion. Here we demonstrate that biliary excretion of excess iron in mice requires the metal transporter SLC39A14 and that excess Fe is excreted into bile as ferritin and heme. The identification of a molecular determinant of iron excretion and the biochemical form of bile iron could lead to development of novel therapeutics for human diseases of iron excess

Guinea pig ID-like families of SINEs.

Project description:Previous studies have indicated a paucity of SINEs within the genomes of the guinea pig and nutria, representatives of the Hystricognathi suborder of rodents. More recent work has shown that the guinea pig genome contains a large number of B1 elements, expanding to various levels among different rodents. In this work we utilized A-B PCR and screened GenBank with sequences from isolated clones to identify potentially uncharacterized SINEs within the guinea pig genome, and identified numerous sequences with a high degree of similarity (>92%) specific to the guinea pig. The presence of A-tails and flanking direct repeats associated with these sequences supported the identification of a full-length SINE, with a consensus sequence notably distinct from other rodent SINEs. Although most similar to the ID SINE, it clearly was not derived from the known ID master gene (BC1), hence we refer to this element as guinea pig ID-like (GPIDL). Using the consensus to screen the guinea pig genomic database (Assembly CavPor2) with Ensembl BlastView, we estimated at least 100,000 copies, which contrasts markedly to just over 100 copies of ID elements. Additionally we provided evidence of recent integrations of GPIDL as two of seven analyzed conserved GPIDL-containing loci demonstrated presence/absence variants in Cavia porcellus and C. aperea. Using intra-IDL PCR and sequence analyses we also provide evidence that GPIDL is derived from a hystricognath-specific SINE family. These results demonstrate that this SINE family continues to contribute to the dynamics of genomes of hystricognath rodents.

Immunoglobulin genomics in the guinea pig (Cavia porcellus).

Project description:In science, the guinea pig is known as one of the gold standards for modeling human disease. It is especially important as a molecular and cellular biology model for studying the human immune system, as its immunological genes are more similar to human genes than are those of mice. The utility of the guinea pig as a model organism can be further enhanced by further characterization of the genes encoding components of the immune system. Here, we report the genomic organization of the guinea pig immunoglobulin (Ig) heavy and light chain genes. The guinea pig IgH locus is located in genomic scaffolds 54 and 75, and spans approximately 6,480 kb. 507 V(H) segments (94 potentially functional genes and 413 pseudogenes), 41 D(H) segments, six J(H) segments, four constant region genes (?, ?, ?, and ?), and one reverse ? remnant fragment were identified within the two scaffolds. Many V(H) pseudogenes were found within the guinea pig, and likely constituted a potential donor pool for gene conversion during evolution. The Ig? locus mapped to a 4,029 kb region of scaffold 37 and 24 is composed of 349 V(?) (111 potentially functional genes and 238 pseudogenes), three J(?) and one C(?) genes. The Ig? locus spans 1,642 kb in scaffold 4 and consists of 142 V(?) (58 potentially functional genes and 84 pseudogenes) and 11 J(?) -C(?) clusters. Phylogenetic analysis suggested the guinea pig's large germline V(H) gene segments appear to form limited gene families. Therefore, this species may generate antibody diversity via a gene conversion-like mechanism associated with its pseudogene reserves.

A 2-D guinea pig lung proteome map.

Project description:Guinea pigs represent an important model for a number of infectious and non-infectious pulmonary diseases. The guinea pig genome has recently been sequenced to full coverage, opening up new research avenues using genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics techniques in this species. In order to further annotate the guinea pig genome and to facilitate future pulmonary proteomics in this species we constructed a 2-D guinea pig proteome map including 486 protein identifications and post translational modifications (PTMs). The map has been up-loaded to the UCD 2D-PAGE open access database (http://proteomics-portal.ucd.ie/). Transit peptides, N-terminal acetylations and other PTMs are available via Peptideatlas (ftp://PASS00619:NM455hi@ftp.peptideatlas.org/). This dataset is associated with a research article published in the Journal of Proteomics [1].

Prolactin family of the guinea pig, Cavia porcellus.

Project description:Prolactin (PRL) is a multifunctional hormone with prominent roles in regulating growth and reproduction. The guinea pig (Cavia porcellus) has been extensively used in endocrine and reproduction research. Thus far, the PRL cDNA and protein have not been isolated from the guinea pig. In the present study, we used information derived from the public guinea pig genome database as a tool for identifying guinea pig PRL and PRL-related proteins. Guinea pig PRL exhibits prominent nucleotide and amino acid sequence differences when compared with PRLs of other eutherian mammals. In contrast, guinea pig GH is highly conserved. Expression of PRL and GH in the guinea pig is prominent in the anterior pituitary, similar to known expression patterns of PRL and GH for other species. Two additional guinea pig cDNAs were identified and termed PRL-related proteins (PRLRP1, PRLRP2). They exhibited a more distant relationship to PRL and their expression was restricted to the placenta. Recombinant guinea pig PRL protein was generated and shown to be biologically active in the PRL-responsive Nb2 lymphoma cell bioassay. In contrast, recombinant guinea pig PRLRP1 protein did not exhibit PRL-like bioactivity. In summary, we have developed a new set of research tools for investigating the biology of the PRL family in an important animal model, the guinea pig.
