Abstract:
:The liver carcinogen N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) has to be metabolically activated by specific cytochromes before it can react with cellular macromolecules (e.g. proteins or DNA). Although hepatocytes are believed to be responsible for this activation, the liver tumours originate mainly from non-parenchymal cells (NPC). To investigate their activation capacity we determined NDMA-demethylase activity in isolated microsomes from both liver cell types. The results demonstrate that only hepatocytes have activation capacity. Additional experiments were performed with hepatocytes and NPC using the single cell microgel electrophoresis assay (MGE). DNA damage appears in both cell types following in vivo exposure. Tested in vitro, however, the carcinogens induce DNA damages only in hepatocytes (the cells which activate these compounds). N-nitroso-hydroxymethyl-methylamine could be the responsible metabolite as it is stable enough to be transported from hepatocytes to NPC in an intact liver.
