In vivo induction of phase II detoxifying enzymes, glutathione transferase and quinone reductase by citrus triterpenoids
BACKGROUND Several cell culture and animal studies demonstrated that citrus bioactive compounds have protective effects against certain types of cancer. Among several classes of citrus bioactive compounds, limonoids were reported to prevent different types of cancer. Furthermore, the structures of citrus limonoids were reported to influence the activity of phase II detoxifying enzymes. The purp...
متن کاملPhenobarbital induction of AP-1 binding activity mediates activation of glutathione S-transferase and quinone reductase gene expression.
Phenobarbital is an inducer of xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes, such as cytochrome P-450, glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) and NAD(P)H:quinone reductase, as well as being a promoter of hepatocarcinogenesis. The molecular mechanisms regulating these biological activities are, however, unknown. In this paper we show that induction by phenobarbital of GST Ya and quinone reductase gene expression ...
متن کاملGenetic Polymorphism of the Glutathione S-Transferase M1 and Development of Breast Cancer
Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are encoded by a superfamily of genes and play a role in the detoxification of potential carcinogens. The human GSTs are divided into four classes: alpha, mu, pi and theta. Previous studies indicated that the absence of the Glutathione S-Transferase M1 (GSTM1) protein correlated with an increased risk of developing some types of cancers. Association between spe...
متن کاملInduction of glutathione S-transferase activity in Triatoma infestans.
Several synthetic pesticides and allelochemicals used to treat Triatoma infestans adults by topic application showed some degree of cytosolic glutathione S-transferase (GST) induction. General inducers of detoxication systems such as phenobarbital and 3-methylcholantrene topically applied on T. infestans resulted in no GST induction. Meanwhile, general insecticide synergist such as piperonyl bu...
متن کاملIntracellular Glutathione Levels Regulate Fos/Jun Induction and Activation of Glutathione S-Transferase Gene Expression 1
Induction of glutathione S-transferase Ya and NAD(P)H:quinone reductase gene expression by a variety of chemical agents is mediated by regulatory elements, EpRE and ARE, composed of two adjacent AP-l-like binding sites and activated by Fos/Jun heterodimeric complex (AP-1). Recent studies show that chemical induction of glutathione S transferase Ya and quinone reductase gene expression is associ...
