Abstract：
:Methemoglobin formation, as well as hemoglobin or DNA adducts, are useful biomarkers of occupational exposure to certain arylamines. It has been suggested that, in liver from animals not treated with a cytochrome P450 (CYP) inducer, hepatic CYP1A2 is the major P450 involved in N-hydroxylation. This is the first step in the metabolic activation of many arylamines, such as the human urinary bladder carcinogen 4-aminobiphenyl (ABP). The product of this catalytic step, N-hydroxy-4-ABP, reacts in the blood with oxyhemoglobin to form methemoglobin and nitrosobiphenyl. We therefore examined the role of CYP1A2 in causing methemoglobinemia in ABP-treated Cyp1a2(-/-) knockout mice. Application of ABP (100 micromol/kg body wt) to the skin resulted in a marked depletion in the levels of the hepatic thiols (reduced glutathione and cysteine) after 2 h, which rebounded to basal levels 24 h later, and we found no differences between the Cyp1a2(-/-) and wild-type Cyp1a2(+/+) animals. Unexpectedly, the methemoglobin levels were significantly (p < 0.05) higher in Cyp1a2(-/-) than Cyp1a2(+/+) mice at 2, 7, and 24 h following topical ABP. Treatment with dioxin, 24 h prior to ABP, decreased methemoglobin levels by about half at each of the time points in both the Cyp1a2(-/-) and Cyp1a2(+/+) mice. These data suggest that CYP1A2 does not play a positive role in methemoglobin formation via the activation of ABP; rather, the absence of CYP1A2 enhances ABP-induced methemoglobinemia. Because liver CYP1A2 levels are known to vary more than 60-fold between humans, our findings may be relevant to patients who are exposed to arylamines in the workplace.
