Abstract:
:The effects of in vivo exposure to DDT on hepatic gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) and connexin gene/protein expression in Sprague-Dawley rats were examined by in vivo/in vitro dye-transfer assay, immunohistochemical staining, and by Western and Northern blot analyses. In the dose-response study, three dose levels of DDT (5, 25 and 50 mg/kg/day) were administered orally to rats once a day for 2 weeks. The average size of the dye spread after injection of Lucifer Yellow and the area of Cx32 spots per hepatocyte decreased in a dose-dependent manner, but there was no effect on the number of Cx32 spots per hepatocyte. In the time-course study, DDT (50 mg/kg/day) was administered orally once a day for up to 6 weeks. Hepatic GJIC decreased at week 1 but recovered at week 6. The average area of Cx32 spots per hepatocyte gradually decreased at weeks 2 and 4, and remained at the same level at week 6, correlating with the decreased Cx32 protein level in plasma membranes. The average area of Cx26 spots per hepatocyte in the peripheral zones clearly decreased at week 1, but quickly recovered at week 2 and increased at week 6; however, no clear change of the Cx26 protein level in plasma membranes was observed. No changes of Cx32 and Cx26 mRNA levels were observed in DDT groups. These results suggest that DDT, a liver tumor-promoting agent, inhibits hepatic GJIC in vivo dose-dependently in rats and that aberrant Cx32 and Cx26 protein expression and/or localization may be responsible for this effect.
