Abstract:
:Initiated/selected (ISH) and normal (NH) rat hepatocytes were used to study cytoskeleton modifications induced by three liver acting chemicals: 2-AAF, a liver complete carcinogen; PB, a liver tumor promoter; and 4-AAF, a non-carcinogen analogue of 2-AAF. Cytoskeleton alterations were visualized by disappearance of F-actin fibers and tubulin depolymerization. The three drugs induced actin fragmentation in normal hepatocytes; a net loss of actin protein was observed with PB. They also induced varied tubulin depolymerization. The principal difference between chemicals is that 2-AAF led to non-reversible effects, in comparison with PB and 4-AAF which induced reversible damages on cytoskeleton. By contrast to normal hepatocytes, the cytoskeleton of ISH obtained from rats subjected to the "resistant" hepatocyte protocol was much less susceptible to the effect of the three chemicals. Moreover, we observed a lack of LDH release in the culture medium and a very rapid inducibility of GST activity after exposure of ISH to drugs. The moderate effect of the three chemicals on actin and tubulin in ISH could thus be explained by the "resistant" metabolic profile of these cells.
