Abstract:
:1. The cytotoxicity of N-nitrosomethylaniline (NMA) towards hepatocytes isolated from rats was prevented by acetone or ethanol (inhibitors for cytochrome P-450IIE1) but not by metyrapone or SKF525A (inhibitors for cytochrome P-450IIB1/2). Various alcohols, secondary ketones and isothiocyanates that induced cytochrome P-450IIE1 were also found to be protective. Various aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents that are substrates or inducers of cytochrome P-450IIE1 also prevented NMA cytotoxicity. Nitrogen-containing heterocycles that induced cytochrome P-450IIE1 were less effective. Further evidence that cytochrome P-450IIE1 was responsible for the activation of NMA was the marked increase in hepatocyte susceptibility if hepatocytes from pyrazole-induced rats were used. 2. NMA was more cytotoxic to hepatocytes isolated from phenobarbital-pretreated rats than uninduced rats. However, metyrapone now prevented and SKF525A delayed the cytotoxicity whereas ethanol, acetone, allyl isocyanate, isoniazid or trichloroethylene had no effect on the susceptibility of phenobarbital-induced hepatocytes. Furthermore, microsomes isolated from phenobarbital-pretreated rats had higher NMA-N-demethylase activity which was more inhibited by metyrapone and SKF525A than that of uninduced microsomal activity. By contrast the N-demethylase activity of phenobarbital induced microsomes was more resistant to acetone, ethanol, hexanal, trichloroethylene and toluene than uninduced microsome. 3. The above results suggest that cytochrome P-450IIE1 catalyses the cytotoxic activation of NMA in normal or pyrazole-induced hepatocytes whereas cytochrome P-450IIB1/2 is responsible for cytotoxicity in phenobarbital-induced hepatocytes.
