Abstract:
:Treatment of rats with the cancer chemopreventive agent 1,2-dithiole-3-thione (D3T) resulted in a significant increase in hepatic heme oxygenase (HO) activity, which corresponded to increased protein levels of HO-1. Upon further analysis of proteins related to heme metabolism, the level of ferritin, the major iron storage protein in liver, was also found to be elevated. Diminished levels of intracellular free iron were monitored by EPR spectroscopy at times after administration of D3T that suggested that increased ferritin content sequesters intracellular iron. The increased levels of protein were associated with increased levels of steady-state RNA of HO-1 and the light (FL) and heavy (FH) subunits of ferritin. A direct relationship between enhanced rates of gene transcription and elevated levels of HO-1 and ferritin RNA was found. The inductions of FL and FH, but not HO-1, were sensitive to cycloheximide, suggesting that in vivo these genes are regulated by distinct D3T-responsive transcriptional mechanisms. The known protective roles for induced HO-1 and ferritin in cellular stress have been suggested to include increased levels of the antioxidant bilirubin and enhanced sequestration of intracellular iron into ferritin, which can effectively reduce iron-mediated reactive oxygen generation. Thus, protective actions of D3T against the cytotoxic and carcinogenic consequences of chemicals that exert electrophilic or oxidative stresses may be mediated, in part, by the induction of HO-1, FL and FH.
