Chemoprevention by inducers of carcinogen detoxication enzymes.
One of the major mechanisms of chemical protection against carcinogenesis, mutagenesis, and other forms of toxicity mediated by electrophiles is the induction of enzymes involved in their metabolism, particularly phase 2 enzymes such as glutathione S-transferases (GSTs), uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyltransferases, and NAD(P)H:quinone reductase. Furthermore, induction of phase 2 enzymes appear...
متن کاملTLR2 Controls Intestinal Carcinogen Detoxication by CYP1A1
Intestinal cytochrome P450 subclass 1A1 (CYP1A1) contributes to a metabolic "shield" protecting the host from ingested carcinogens such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). The expression of CYP1 (including CYP1A2 and CYP1B1) is considered to depend solely on a heterodimeric transcription factor consisting of the arylhydrocarbon receptor (AHR) and the AHR nuclear translocator (ARNT). So f...
متن کاملCarcinogen activation by human uterine enzymes.
Three topics are briefly reviewed relating to carcinogenesis of estrogen responsive tissues: (a) enzymology of benzo(a)pyrene activation by human tissues, (b) microsomal activation of estrogens to estrogen arene oxides and (c) estrogen and progesterone receptor studies in endometrial carcinoma. The following working hypothesis is stated on the etiology of gynecologic tumors: "Environmental chem...
متن کاملChemoprevention of Carcinogen-DNA Adducts and Chronic Degenerative Diseases1
Molecular dosimetry techniques were exploited in order to assess the efficacy of experimental chemoprevention assays and to evaluate the involvement of DNA alterations, not only in cancer but also in other chronic degenerative diseases. In agreement with other protective effects previously observed in the same animal models, the thiol /V-acetylcysteine (NAC) totally prevented or significantly r...
