Abstract:
:Rat hepatocytes maintained for up to 6 days in primary culture were used to test a variety of xenobiotics and steroids for effects on the activity of gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT) in normal cells. In control cultures GGT activity was low and increased slowly with time. When added to cultures for 5 days, a variety of xenobiotics and steroids increased GGT activity to levels 2- to 6-times those of control cultures. Induction of GGT was potentiated for most test compounds by 20-30 nM dexamethasone and diminished by nicotinamide or adenosine-3',5'-monophosphate. Effective non-genotoxic inducers included phenobarbital and some structurally related compounds, p,p'-dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane,alpha- and gamma-hexachlorocyclohexanes, Aroclor 1254, butyl hydroxytoluene, nafenopin, various estrogens, progesterone, pregnenolone-16 alpha-carbonitrile and cyproterone acetate. A number of compounds including barbituric acid, butyl hydroxyanisole, acetaminophen, saccharin, caffeine, clofibrate and some bile acids failed to induce GGT. Except for 2-acetylaminofluorene and diethylnitrosamine, genotoxic compounds tested did not increase GGT. The results establish that a structurally diverse group of xenobiotics and steroids, many of which are considered to be liver tumour promoters, may directly enhance GGT gene expression in normal hepatocytes. Thus, a variety of compounds used in experimental studies of liver cancer induction as promoters may elevate GGT by mechanism(s) not necessarily related to carcinogenesis.
