A fluorimetric study of the hydroxylation of biphenyl in vitro by liver preparations of various species.

ABSTRACT: 1. A study has been made of the enzymic hydroxylation of biphenyl by liver microsomal preparations from 11 species of animals, by using a fluorescence method for the micro-estimation of the hydroxylation products, 2- and 4-hydroxybiphenyl. 2. Livers from all species examined produced 4-hydroxybiphenyl, but only those from mice, hamsters, cats, coypus and frogs produced 2-hydroxybiphenyl as well. 3. Adult rat and rabbit livers produced only the 4-isomer, but livers from the young of these species also produced the 2-isomer. 4. The properties and requirements of the 4-hydroxylating enzyme of rabbit liver were studied. 5. The results are discussed and it is suggested that the 2- and 4-hydroxylating enzymes are different.

Ring hydroxylation of di-t-butylhydroxytoluene by rat liver microsomal preparations.

Project description:3,5-Di-t-butylhydroxytoluene (compound I) was converted into 4-hydroperoxy-4-methyl-2,6-di-t-butylcyclohexa-2,5-dienone (compound II), 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2,6-di-t-butylcyclohexa-2,5-dienone (compound III) and 2,6-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxymethylphenol (compound IV) by rat liver microsomal preparations in the presence of NADPH and air. The oxidation of compound (I) by m-chloroperbenzoic acid also produced the same compounds. These results suggest that hydroperoxide can be an intermediate in aromatic hydroxylation and that biological oxygenations resemble per-acid reactions.

Mechanism of hydroxylation of biphenyl by Cunninghamella echinulata.

Project description:The hydroxylation of [U-2H]biphenyl and [2,2',3,3',5,5',6,6'-2H]biphenyl by Cunninghamella echinulata A.T.C.C. 9244 has been studied. G.l.c.-mass-spectrometry analyses indicate the lack of an isotope effect during the hydroxylation of the perdeuterated substrate. Both g.l.c.-mass spectrometry and 1H n.m.r. were used to definitively demonstrate the presence of a 1,2-hydride-shift during the microbiological hydroxylation of [2,2',3,3',5,5',6,6'-2H]biphenyl.

Interspecies Variation in NCMN-O-Demethylation in Liver Microsomes from Various Species.

Project description:NCMN (N-(3-carboxy propyl)-4-methoxy-1,8-naphthalimide), a newly developed ratiometric two-photon fluorescent probe for human Cytochrome P450 1A (CYP1A), shows the best combination of specificity and reactivity for real-time detection of the enzymatic activities of CYP1A in complex biological systems. This study aimed to investigate the interspecies variation in NCMN-O-demethylation in commercially available liver microsomes from human, mouse, rat, beagle dog, minipig and cynomolgus monkey. Metabolite profiling demonstrated that NCMN could be O-demethylated in liver microsomes from all species but the reaction rate varied considerably. CYP1A was the major isoform involved in NCMN-O-demethylation in all examined liver microsomes based on the chemical inhibition assays. Furafylline, a specific inhibitor of mammalian CYP1A, displayed differential inhibitory effects on NCMN-O-demethylation in all tested species. Kinetic analyses demonstrated that NCMN-O-demethylation in liver microsomes form rat, minipig and cynomolgus monkey followed biphasic kinetics, while in liver microsomes form human, mouse and beagle dog obeyed Michaelis-Menten kinetics, the kinetic parameters from various species are much varied, while NCMN-O-demethylation in MLM exhibited the highest similarity of specificity, kinetic behavior and intrinsic clearance as that in HLM. These findings will be very helpful for the rational use of NCMN as a practical tool to decipher the functions of mammalian CYP1A or to study CYP1A associated drug-drug interactions in vivo.

Effect of detergents on the N-and ring-hydroxylation of 2-acetamidofluorene by hamster liver microsomal preparations.

Project description:Effects of detergents such as cholate, deoxycholate and Triton X-100 were studied on N-and ring-hydroxylation of 2-acetamidofluorene by reconstituted and unresolved microsomal systems from livers of hamsters pretreated with 3-methylcholanthrene. Triton X-100 (2.5 mg/nmol of cytochrome P-448) inhibited N-and ring-hydroxylation by wholemicrosomal preparations by 40 and 90% respectively Deoxycholate at the same concentration inhibited both hydroxylations completely, whereas cholate inhibited N-and ring-hydroxylation by 40 and 50% respectively. In reconstitution studies, the presence of Triton X-100(0.5-1.0mg/nmol of cytochrome P-448) along with unsolubilized cytochrome P-448 fraction and solubilized reductase fraction increased N-hydroxylation to an appreciable extent compared with ring-hydroxylation. Both cholate and deoxycholate at 0.5-1.0 mg concentrations had a greater stimulatory effect on ring-than on N-hydroxylation activity in such a reconstituted system.

Role of mixed-function amine oxidases in N-hydroxylation of 2-acetamidofluorene by hamster liver microsomal preparations.

Project description:Pretreatment of hamsters with 3-methylcholanthrene (100mg/kg body wt.) 24h before death did not appreciably change the extent of N-oxide formation when hepatic microsomal preparations were incubated with NN-dimethylaniline as substrate. In contrast, the N-hydroxylation of 2-acetamidofluorene was increased severalfold in hepatic microsomal preparations from pretreated animals. Under these conditions there were no appreciable changes in cytochrome P-450 content and NADPH-cytochrome c reductase activity. On the basis of these comparative data, it is suggested that amine oxidase is not involved in N-hydroxylation of 2-acetamidofluorene.

Detrimental Effect of Various Preparations of the Human Amniotic Membrane Homogenate on the 2D and 3D Bladder Cancer <i>In vitro</i> Models.

Project description:Despite being among the ten most common cancers with high recurrence rates worldwide, there have been no major breakthroughs in the standard treatment options for bladder cancer in recent years. The use of a human amniotic membrane (hAM) to treat cancer is one of the promising ideas that have emerged in recent years. This study aimed to investigate the anticancer activity of hAM homogenate on 2D and 3D cancer models. We evaluated the effects of hAM homogenates on the human muscle invasive bladder cancer urothelial (T24) cells, papillary cancer urothelial (RT4) cells and normal porcine urothelial (NPU) cells as well as on human mammary gland non-tumorigenic (MCF10a) cells and low-metastatic breast cancer (MCF7) cells. After 24 h, we observed a gradual detachment of cancerous cells from the culture surface, while the hAM homogenate did not affect the normal cells. The most pronounced effect hAM homogenate had on bladder cancer cells; however, the potency of their detachment was dependent on the treatment protocol and the preparation of hAM homogenate. We demonstrated that hAM homogenate significantly decreased the adhesion, growth, and proliferation of human bladder invasive and papillary cancer urothelial cells and did not affect normal urothelial cells even in 7-day treatment. By using light and electron microscopy we showed that hAM homogenate disrupted the architecture of 2D and 3D bladder cancer models. The information provided by our study highlights the detrimental effect of hAM homogenate on bladder cancer cells and strengthens the idea of the potential clinical application of hAM for bladder cancer treatment.

Comparative analysis on the expression of L1 loci using various RNA-Seq preparations.

Project description:Background:Retrotransposons are one of the oldest evolutionary forces shaping mammalian genomes, with the ability to mobilize from one genomic location to another. This mobilization is also a significant factor in human disease. The only autonomous human retroelement, L1, has propagated to make up 17% of the human genome, accumulating over 500,000 copies. The majority of these loci are truncated or defective with only a few reported to remain capable of retrotransposition. We have previously published a strand-specific RNA-Seq bioinformatics approach to stringently identify at the locus-specific level the few expressed full-length L1s using cytoplasmic RNA. With growing repositories of RNA-Seq data, there is potential to mine these datasets to identify and study expressed L1s at single-locus resolution, although many datasets are not strand-specific or not generated from cytoplasmic RNA. Results:We developed whole-cell, cytoplasmic and nuclear RNA-Seq datasets from 22Rv1 prostate cancer cells to test the influence of different preparations on the quality and effort needed to measure L1 expression. We found that there was minimal data loss in the identification of full-length expressed L1?s using whole cell, strand-specific RNA-Seq data compared to cytoplasmic, strand-specific RNA-Seq data. However, this was only possible with an increased amount of manual curation of the bioinformatics output to eliminate increased background. About half of the data was lost when the sequenced datasets were non-strand specific. Conclusions:The results of these studies demonstrate that with rigorous manual curation the utilization of stranded RNA-Seq datasets allow identification of expressed L1 loci from either cytoplasmic or whole-cell RNA-Seq datasets.
