Abstract:
:It is reported that diesel exhaust particles contain more 1-nitropyrene (1-NP) than benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), both of which are potent carcinogenic compounds. In this study, we show that 1-NP is more potent in reducing cell viability than B[a]P, pyrene, nitrobenzene, and nitromethane. Aldo-keto reductases (AKRs) are enzymes which metabolize polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons into active metabolites that form PAH-DNA-adducts causing mutagenesis of DNA. We found that the AKR1C2 inhibitor, ursodeoxycholic acid (UA), inhibited 1-NP-induced, but not B[a]P-induced, phosphorylation of p53 and cleavage of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). 1-NP-induced apoptosis was also suppressed by UA, as detected by Hoechst 33342 staining, flow cytometric analysis of subG0/G1 phase and annexin V binding to phosphatidylserine. The AKR1C1 and 1C4 inhibitor, 1,10-phenanthroline (Phen), inhibited the toxic effects of both 1-NP and B[a]P. In contrast, the AKR7A1 and 7A5 inhibitors, succinate and citrate, did not influence the toxic effects of 1-NP or B[a]P. In addition, several metabolic and signaling pathways were analyzed, these were used to compare the results of the toxic effect of AKRs on 1-NP and B[a]P. Through the application of kinase inhibitors, results indicated that p38-MAPK, but not ERK1/2 or JNK, was essential for mediating both 1-NP's and B[a]P's induction of the phosphorylation of p53 and cleavage of PARP. Neither ellipticine, a CYP1A1 inhibitor, nor 2,6-diisopropylphenol, a CYP1A2 and 2B1 inhibitor, blocked the toxic effects of 1-NP and B[a]P, which indicates that neither CYP1A1, 1A2, nor 2B1 is essential for the transformation of 1-NP and B[a], into toxic metabolites. AKR1C2 was constitutively expressed in HepG2 cells and was not regulated by 1-NP or B[a]P. In conclusion, this is the first report on AKRs' actions toward nitro-PAH in cells. The metabolic and signaling pathways for the toxic effects of both 1-NP and B[a]P are similar except that AKR1C2 plays differential role between them. The results provide valuable information for further investigations on AKRs.
