Induction by Phenobarbital of Phase I and II Xenobiotic-Metabolizing Enzymes in Bovine Liver: An Overall Catalytic and Immunochemical Characterization. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23073564. [PMID: 35408925 PMCID: PMC8998613 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23073564] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2022] [Revised: 03/14/2022] [Accepted: 03/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
In cattle, phenobarbital (PB) upregulates target drug-metabolizing enzyme (DME) mRNA levels. However, few data about PB's post-transcriptional effects are actually available. This work provides the first, and an almost complete, characterization of PB-dependent changes in DME catalytic activities in bovine liver using common probe substrates and confirmatory immunoblotting investigations. As expected, PB increased the total cytochrome P450 (CYP) content and the extent of metyrapone binding; moreover, an augmentation of protein amounts and related enzyme activities was observed for known PB targets such as CYP2B, 2C, and 3A, but also CYP2E1. However, contradictory results were obtained for CYP1A, while a decreased catalytic activity was observed for flavin-containing monooxygenases 1 and 3. The barbiturate had no effect on the chosen hydrolytic and conjugative DMEs. For the first time, we also measured the 26S proteasome activity, and the increase observed in PB-treated cattle would suggest this post-translational event might contribute to cattle DME regulation. Overall, this study increased the knowledge of cattle hepatic drug metabolism, and further confirmed the presence of species differences in DME expression and activity between cattle, humans, and rodents. This reinforced the need for an extensive characterization and understanding of comparative molecular mechanisms involved in expression, regulation, and function of DMEs.

Abstract
The study aimed to evaluate the effect of L-carnitine on hepatic cytochrome P450-dependent monooxygenases exposed to methanol. Male Spraque-Dawley rats were given methanol (1/4 LD50 and 1/2 LD50) together with L-carnitine (1g/kg body weight). The parameters of microsome electron transport chains I and II and the levels of CYP2E1, CYP2B1/2 and CYP1A2 were measured 8, 12, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h after exposure. L-carnitine did not affect cytochrome P450 but it significantly increased at 72 and 96 h NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase. It stimulated cytochrome b5 at 48 and 96 h and NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase activity at 12, 72 and 96 h. Methanol, especially the lower dose, inhibited cytochrome P450 after 48 h, but the higher methanol dose inhibited NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase activity in this time. L-carnitine, combined with the lower dose of methanol, stimulated NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase after 48 h and cytochrome b5 and NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase over the whole period of observation. L-carnitine stimulated CYP2B1/2 but not CYP2E1 and CYP1A2. Methanol stimulated CYP2E1 at 24 h, but CYP1A2 at 96 h in the studied doses. CYP2B1/2 was induced by the lower dose of methanol at 24 h but by the higher one at 96 h. When given together, L-carnitine and methanol (1/2 LD50) significantly stimulated CYP2E1 up to 170% at 24 h and 145% at 96 h.

Abstract
These studies addressed the possible involvement between sensitivity to the hypnotic action of ethanol and function of the NMDA receptor. The studies were carried out using high-alcohol sensitive (HAS) and low-alcohol sensitive (LAS) rats, two rats having differential sensitivity to the acute hypnotic action of ethanol. The animal models were developed by a selective breeding experiment. Using a quantitative autoradiograph technique, it was demonstrated that [3H]MK-801 binding to the NMDA receptor was highest in hippocampus in both HAS and LAS rats, but significant [3H]MK-801 binding was also detected in cortex, caudate-putamen, and thalamus of HAS and LAS rats. The density of [3H]MK-801 binding was lower only in cerebellar granule layers of untreated HAS rats as compared to the same brain area in untreated LAS rats. Activation of protein kinase C (PKC) by 100 nM PDBu, increased [3H]MK-801 binding in cortex, caudate-putamen, thalamus, central gray, and cerebellum of HAS rats but activation of PKC did not influence [3H]MK-801 binding in LAS rats. These activation of PKC differentiates between [3H]MK-801 binding of HAS and LAS rats in frontal cortex (layer II-IV and cingulate), caudate-putamen, and ventral lateral thalamic nuclei. The basal level of PKC-gamma mRNA was higher in HAS rats than that of LAS rats. These results suggest that the activation of PKC potentiates NMDA receptor function of the rat line which is more sensitive to alcohol (HAS) but does not affect [3H]MK-801 binding of alcohol resistant (LAS) rats.

Abstract
Rats selectively bred for high alcohol sensitivity (HAS) or low alcohol sensitivity (LAS) were tested for initial sensitivity to hypnotic doses of ethanol and a locomotor-altering dose of phenobarbital. Following 6 weeks of either a pair-fed control or 33% ethanol-derived calorie diet, animals were tested again for tolerance to ethanol and cross-tolerance to phenobarbital. HAS and LAS rats did not differ in baseline open field or Rotarod activity before chronic ethanol treatment. However, HAS rats were more sensitive to 50 mg/ kg phenobarbital relative to LAS rats. Both control- and ethanol-diet rats appeared to be less sensitive to phenobarbital after the 6-week treatment period. Chronic ethanol-exposed HAS and LAS rats demonstrated tolerance to ethanol and cross-tolerance to phenobarbital, and in particular LAS rats were even more active in the open field following phenobarbital relative to controls. In summary, significant differences in response to phenobarbital were observed between HAS and LAS rats. These observations suggest that initial sensitivity and tolerance to ethanol are associated with differences in phenobarbital sensitivity and are influenced by similar genes.

Abstract
Both epidemiological and experimental evidence indicate that environmental factors may modulate chemical toxicity. Of these, dietary factors have been most thoroughly studied and shown to modulate a number of toxic processes including carcinogenesis. Total energy intake and specific nutrients (protein and specific amino acids, vitamins, and minerals) have been shown to be active in this regard as have a number of non-nutritive dietary factors, most notably phenolic and sulphur-containing compounds, and indoles. The mechanisms by which dietary factors might influence toxicity include effects on bioavailability, phase I or phase II metabolism, scavenging of reactive metabolites, induction of DNA repair processes, inhibition of cell proliferation, induction of differentiation or apoptosis and effects on the immune system. These factors are discussed with emphasis on dietary exposure to modulating factors.

Abstract
Consumption of alcoholic beverages is an accepted social custom world-wide. This makes its involvement in events contributing to human cancer risk very important. Although it is neither tumorigenic nor genotoxic in animals, ethanol can potentiate the carcinogenic risk associated with certain environmentally present agents. The reasons for such a synergistic action are speculative, but among theories postulated may be ethanol's ability to modify the toxicokinetics/dynamics of carcinogen metabolism. Experiments conducted with rodents and primates support this hypothesis, demonstrating increased exposure of posthepatic organs to nitrosamines when given in combination with ethanol, followed by enhancement of DNA adduct formation and, at least in rodents, of tumor development. In addition, ethanol may induce enzymes responsible for carcinogen activation, including hepatic cytochrome P450 2E1 in rodents and humans, and in lung, kidney, and brain in rodents. Studies have also shown that these effects can extend to the next generation via maternal and in utero fetal exposure. What impact such ethanol-induced modulations have on tumorigenesis during childhood and later stages of life needs to be investigated further.

Abstract
To identify potential differences in emotional reactivity in high (HAS) and low (LAS) alcohol-sensitive rats in open field tests, 20 ethanol naive, 19th generation HAS and 20 LAS rats from the University of Colorado's Alcohol Research Center each received three consecutive daily 20-min exposures to a 1-sq m open field. The results of repeated-measures ANOVA and Keuls tests, performed on each of five concurrently recorded behaviors, indicated that, compared to HAS rats, LAS animals exhibited significantly greater latencies to begin ambulation, elevated ambulation, and rearing scores that failed to habituate over 3 days, and an increasing intersession bolus count. In addition, significant positive correlations occurred between days 2 + 3 (but not day 1) ambulation and bolus counts in LAS but not HAS rats, and between day 1 ambulation and (i) rearings and (ii) center square entries in HAS but not LAS rats. Together with other cited data, these results provide support for a hypothesis of relatively greater emotional reactivity in LAS rats and illustrate the need for multiple measures and sessions in evaluating open field behavior.

Abstract
Rats have been genetically selected to have a differential hypnotic response to an acute injection of ethanol. These high alcohol sensitive (HAS) and low alcohol sensitive (LAS) rats were used to investigate commonalities of the mechanism of action of several gaseous anesthetics, pentobarbital and ethanol. Similar studies have been carried out extensively with mouse lines also differentially sensitive to ethanol (short- and long-sleep mice). Like the mice, the rats are also differentially sensitive to the two gaseous anesthetics, enflurane and isoflurane. However, in contrast to results with these mice, we find that the HAS and LAS rats are differentially sensitive to halothane and pentobarbital in the same direction as their sensitivity to ethanol. In other studies, the rats also have been found to be differentially sensitive to phenobarbital as are SS and LS mice. These results show that, by the use of these anesthetics in combination with selectively bred rodent lines, many new opportunities for dissecting the molecular mechanisms of anesthetic agents present themselves.

Abstract
Hepatic microsomal cytochromes P-450 CYP1A2, and CYP2E1 contents and catalytic activities have been simultaneously investigated in 42 patients undergoing diagnostic liver biopsy. CYP1A2 contents, measured by Western blotting, were correlated with methoxyresorufin-O-demethylation and ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylation (r = 0.65 and r = 0.66, p < 0.001, respectively). CYP2E1 contents were correlated with 1-butanol oxidation and 6-hydroxylation of chlorzoxazone (r = 0.75 for both, p < 0.001). CYP1A2 catalytic activities varied by 30- to 40-fold, whereas CYP2E1 activities varied by 6- to 20-fold. In our study, these variations were not related to liver diseases or cancer of the digestive tract nor to alcohol drinking or smoking habits, because patients were alcohol- and tobacco-free for 1 month before the study. Other environmental factors, diet habits, and/or genetic factors could explain the large interindividual variations observed.
