Abstract:
:Pentoxyresorufin O-depentylase activity, mainly associated with phenobarbital-inducible cytochrome P450IIB1 (designated CYP2B1), was increased after a single treatment of pyridine (250 mg/kg, i.p.), and further increased by repeated treatments for 5 days. The catalytic activity and immunoreactive protein of CYP2B recognized by polyclonal antibodies were significantly induced by a relatively high dose of pyridine (250 mg/kg, i.p.) while ethanol-inducible cytochrome P450IIE1 (CYP2E1) could be induced by a low dosage (25 mg/kg, i.p.). Unlike CYP2E1 induction without changing its mRNA level, the induction of CYP2B by pyridine was accompanied by an elevation of its mRNA, indicating a pre-translational activation of this enzyme. These results indicate that pyridine induces various isozymes of cytochromes P450 by different induction mechanisms.
