Abstract:
:Specific antibodies were prepared against cytochromes P450 PB-1, PB-2, PB-4, and PB-5 purified from hepatic microsomes of male rats treated with phenobarbital. With these antibodies, the levels of these four cytochrome P450s in hepatic, renal, and pulmonary microsomes of male rats that were untreated, treated with phenobarbital, or treated with 3-methylcholanthrene were examined. P450 PB-1 and PB-2 were present in moderate amounts in hepatic microsomes of untreated male rats and were induced 2- to 3-fold with phenobarbital. Also, the expression of these forms was suppressed by 3-methylcholanthrene. These forms were not detected in the renal or pulmonary microsomes of untreated rats or rats treated with phenobarbital or 3-methylcholanthrene. P450 PB-4 and PB-5 were found in the hepatic microsomes of untreated male rats at a low level but were induced with phenobarbital more than 50-fold. P450 PB-4 and PB-5 were not detected in renal microsomes; only P450 PB-4 or a closely related form was present in the pulmonary microsomes of untreated male rats, and its level was not changed by phenobarbital treatment. The constitutive presence of P450 PB-4 in pulmonary microsomes was confirmed by the investigation of testosterone metabolism. Purified P450 PB-4 had high testosterone 16 alpha- and 16 beta-hydroxylation activity in a reconstituted system. The testosterone 16 beta-hydroxylation activity of hepatic microsomes was induced with phenobarbital, and more than 90% of the testosterone 16 beta-hydroxylation activity of hepatic microsomes from rats treated with phenobarbital was inhibited by anti-P450 PB-4 antibody.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
