Abstract：
:4-Methylnitrosamino-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) has been identified as one of the strongest nitrosamine carcinogens in tobacco products in all species tested. Carbonyl reduction to 4-methylnitrosamino-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol (NNAL) followed by glucuronosylation is considered to be the main detoxification pathway in humans. In previous investigations, we have identified a microsomal NNK carbonyl reductase as being identical to 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1, a member of the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase (SDR) superfamily. Recently, we provided evidence that carbonyl reduction of NNK does also take place in cytosol from mouse and human liver and lung. In human liver cytosol, carbonyl reductase, a SDR enzyme, and AKR1C1, AKR1C2 and AKR1C4 from the aldo-keto reductase (AKR) superfamily were demonstrated to be responsible for NNK reduction. Since NNK and/or its metabolites can diffuse through the placenta and reach fetal tissues, we now investigated NNK carbonyl reduction in the cytosolic fraction of human placenta in addition to that in microsomes. Concluding from the sensitivity to menadione, ethacrynic acid, rutin and quercitrin as specific inhibitors, mainly carbonyl reductase (EC 1.1.1.184) seems to perform this reaction in human placenta cytosol. The presence of carbonyl reductase was confirmed by RT-PCR. This is the first report to provide evidence that NNAL formation in placenta is mediated by carbonyl reductase.
