Enhanced drug-metabolizing capacity within liver adjacent to human and rat liver tumors.

چکیده
Cytochrome P-450 content (nmol/g of liver) differed within regions of rat liver according to proximity to intrahepatically implanted Morris hepatoma 7795 or 5123D. Liver adjacent to tumor had higher microsomal cytochrome P-450 content, decreased DNA content (mg/g of liver), and unaltered cytochrome c reductase activity compared to histologically indistinguishable liver far-removed from the tumor. Liver either adjacent to or far-removed from tumor contained markedly more cytochrome P-450 and higher cytochrome c reductase activity but less DNA than transplanted Morris hepatomas 7795 and 5123D that were grown intrahepatically. Compared to intramuscular implants of these same tumors, intrahepatically implanted Morris hepatomas 7795 and 5123D had increased cytochrome P-450 content. Tumor-containing liver from two human subjects revealed regional changes in cytochrome P-450-mediated monooxygenases similar to those observed in rats. These results suggest that histomorphically nontumorous mammalian liver directly adjacent to intrahepatic tumors exhibits previously unsuspected biochemical alterations.

Biotransformation of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) in the presence of microsomal fractions derived from liver and epiderm of adult and weanling rats was examined. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of age on the capacity of two organs in transformation of BaP.

The aim of this study was to determine the metabolizing activities in the liver of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Thin-layer chromatography autoradioluminography was used to measure metabolizing activities. Succinate-producing activity (SPA) was used as an indicator of metabolizing activity of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle in mitochondria, and diazepam-N-demethylating activi...

Repeated treatment of female rats with the synthetic estrogen ethynylestradiol (EE(2)) increases the formation of the cyclosporine A (CyA) metabolites AM1c and AM9 by 3-fold, whereas the formation of AM1 and AM4N is not significantly enhanced. The formation of all four CyA metabolites was inhibited by greater than 80% by the CYP3A-selective substrate midazolam or polyclonal anti-rat CYP3A IgGs ...
