    Notes: Abstract The role of protein kinase C and protein phosphatases was examined in the control of mutagenic metabolites of aromatic amines. Various metabolic activating systems derived from rat liver were treated with: 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), a protein kinase C modulator; okadaic acid (OA), a potent inhibitor of serine/threonine protein phosphatases (PP1 and PP2A); and ortho-vanadate (OV), an inhibitor of tyrosine phosphatases. TPA used over a wide concentration range (10−9–10−6 M) did not affect the bacterial mutagenicity of the aromatic amines and of the aromatic amide investigated, 2-aminoanthracene, 2-aminofluorene and 2-acetylaminofluorene (2AAF). At the molecular level, TPA did not affect the function of cytochrome P450s 1A1 or 1A2, which are known key factors for the activation and inactivation of aromatic amines/amides. By contrast the OA and OV treatment of rat hepatocytes, rat liver homogenate, fraction S9 and the nuclear fraction drastically reduced (by 〉80%) the mutagenicity of the aromatic amines/amide investigated. This is by far the most pronounced change in genotoxicity observed to date via modulation of phosphorylation. Whilst the mutagenicity of the primary toxication product 2-N-OH-acetylaminofluorene (2-N-OH-AAF) in the presence of exogenous activating systems (hepatocytes, S9-fraction, nuclear fraction) was also reduced by OV, OA had no influence. Thus the tyrosine protein phosphatase inhibitor and the serine/threonine protein phosphatase inhibitor influence the genotoxicity of aromatic amines/amides on different levels. Moreover, this shows that the drastic reduction in mutagenicity by OA was due to its influence on a step prior to the presence of the primary toxication product 2-N-OH-AAF. This reduction could be due to changes in the activity of cytochrome P4501A1 and/or 1A2. However, no incorporation of 32P-labelled phosphate from intracellularly prelabelled [32P]-ATP into cytochromes P450 1A1 or 1A2 nor any change in their catalytic activities was observed in the presence of OA. Furthermore, a phosphorylation dependent change in the function of P-glycoprotein (known for its role in the transport of diverse xenobiotic substances and their metabolites) was shown not to contribute to the observed decrease in mutagenicity. Our results reveal an important role for protein phosphatase 1 and/or 2A and tyrosine phosphatase(s) in the control of the genotoxicity of aromatic amines and amides. However, the present study does not distinguish between effects mediated by individual proteins affected by these protein phosphatases.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Mikrosomale Monooxygenasen oxidieren olefinische und aromatische Stoffe zu Epoxiden, mikrosomale Epoxidhydratase und zytoplasmatische Glutathion-S-Transferasen setzen diese Epoxide weiter um. Obwohl katalytisch sehr aktiv, spielen zytoplasmatische Glutathion-S-Transferasen aufgrund ihrer subzellulären Lokalisierung nur eine untergeordnete Rolle bei der Inaktivierung von Epoxiden, die von großen lipophilen Substanzen gebildet werden, und wurden daher in dieser Studie nicht untersucht. Mit Benzo(a)pyren als Modellsubstanz und mit Leberenzym-vermittelter bakterieller Mutagenese als biologischem Endpunkt wurde gezeigt, daß sich Spezies- und Stammesunterschiede von Epoxidhydratase und Monooxygenasen sehr massiv in der Mutagenität widerspiegeln: Je nach Herkunft des aktivierenden Leberpräparates wird für Benzo(a)pyren eine äußerst starke oder eine verschwindend geringe, durchaus übersehbare Mutagenität beobachtet. Um festzustellen, ob die Unterschiede in den Enzymaktivitäten mit den beobachteten Unterschieden der Mutagenität kausal zusammenhängen, wurden die Enzymaktivitäten durch Inhibition und Induktion manipuliert. Diese Manipulationen hatten in jedem Falle entsprechende Veränderungen der Mutagenität zur Folge. Es wird geschlossen, daß Tierarten wie die Maus, die eine hohe Monooxygenase- und eine sehr niedrige Epoxidhydratase-Aktivität aufweisen, viel anfälliger sind als der Mensch für solche toxischen Wirkungen, welche durch metabolisch gebildete Epoxide verursacht werden, die durch Epoxidhydratase inaktiviert werden. In dieser Hinsicht ist erwähnenswert, daß Mäuse eine sehr viel geringere Epoxidhydratase-Aktivität aufweisen als der Mensch.
    Notes: Abstract Microsomal monooxygenases catalyze the biosynthesis of epoxides from olefinic and aromatic compounds whilst microsomal epoxide hydratase and cytoplasmic glutathione S-transferases are responsible for their further biotransformation. Although catalytically very efficient the cytoplasmic glutathione S-transferases play, due to their subcellular localization, a minor role in the inactivation of epoxides derived from large lipophilic compounds and were, therefore, not included in this study. It was shown with such a lipophilic compound, benzo(a)pyrene, as a model substance and with liver enzyme mediated bacterial mutagenesis as biological endpoint that species and strain differences in epoxide hydratase and monooxygenases are reflected in very dramatic differences in mutagenicity of benzo(a)pyrene which varied from extremely potent to a degree which could easily be overlooked. In order to investigate whether the differences in enzyme activities were causally linked to the observed differences in mutagenicity, the enzyme activities were modulated by inhibition and induction. These manipulations were always accompanied by the corresponding changes in mutagenicity. It is concluded that species such as mice which possess high monooxygenase activity but very low epoxide hydratase activity are much more susceptible than man to those toxic effects which are mediated by metabolically formed epoxides which are substrates of epoxide hydratase. In this regard, it is especially noteworthy that mice possess a much lower hepatic epoxide hydratase activity than man.

    Notes: Abstract trans-Stilbene imine (trans-1,2-diphenylaziridine) is the nitrogen analog of trans-stilbene oxide, a potent inducer of several microsomal and cytosolic xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes. Although the acute toxicity of cis- and trans-stilbene imines prevents their application at the usual dose for trans-stilbene oxide (400 mg/kg/day), it is apparent that the imines nevertheless potently induce several xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes in rat liver. The IP administration of trans-stilbene imine resulted in statistically significant increases in the activities of aminopyrine N-demethylase, microsomal epoxide hydrolase, glutathione transferase (toward 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene, 1,2-dichloro-4-nitrobenzene and Δ5-androstene-3,17-dione) and UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (toward testoster-one). cis-Stilbene imine was less potent in inducing these activities. Although trans-stilbene imine (total dose = 400 mg/kg) was more potent than trans-stilbene oxide (total dose = 1200 mg/kg) in inducing the activities of glutathione transferase (toward 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene) and UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (toward testosterone), both compounds belong to the class of substances which are more potent inducers of conjugating (phase II) enzymes. Because of their structural similarity with K-region arene imines which are potent mutagens, cis-stilbene imine and trans-stilbene imine were investigated for mutagenicity (reversion of his − strains of Salmonella typhimurium). cis-Stilbene imine and trans-stilbene imine were direct mutagens in the strain TA100. This result, and the finding that acenaphthene 1,2-imine efficiently reverts various strains of Salmonella typhimurium, demonstrates that not only K-region arene imines, but also other aziridines substituted at the two carbons with aromatic moieties, are mutagenic.
