Abstract:
:Prior studies revealed an apparent bimodal distribution of adrenal xenobiotic-metabolizing activities in outbred guinea pigs. High activities were characteristic of most animals but a minority had very low rates of metabolism. The present studies were done to determine the basis for this distribution. Among the enzymatic activities abundant in guinea pig adrenal microsomes is bufuralol 1'-hydroxylation, a marker for CYP2D isozymes. Western blot analyses revealed that adrenal expression of CYP2D16, the guinea pig CYP2D analogue, was highly correlated with xenobiotic-metabolizing activities. Of 12 animals studied, 4 had low levels of adrenal CYP2D16 expression and correspondingly low bufuralol 1'-hydroxylase and benzphetamine N-demethylase activities. In contrast, adrenal expression of steroidogenic P450 isozymes (CYP17 and CYP21) and the corresponding steroid hydroxylase activities were similar in all animals. There was also no evidence of polymorphism in hepatic xenobiotic metabolism. The results suggest that the bimodal expression of adrenal CYP2D16 is at least partly responsible for the variability in adrenal xenobiotic metabolism, and that this pattern of expression is not applicable to other adrenal P450 isozymes or to hepatic CYP2D16. Further studies are needed to determine if genetic polymorphism is responsible for the mode of adrenal CYP2D16 expression.
