Abstract
Mycotoxin zearalenone (ZEN) is a cereal contaminant produced by various species of Fusarium fungi. When interacting with estrogen receptors, ZEN leads to animal fertility disturbances and other reproductive pathologies. Few data are available on the effects of perinatal exposure to ZEN, particularly in the blood-testis barrier. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of ZEN in adult rats exposed neonatally. We focused on the expression and cellular localization of major ABC transporters expressed in adult rat testis, comparing ZEN effects with those of Estradiol Benzoate (EB) neonatal exposure. Dose-dependent and long term modulations of mRNA and protein levels of Abcb1, Abcc1, Abcg2, Abcc4 and Abcc5 were observed, along with Abcc4 protein cellular delocalization. ZEN exposure of SerW3 Sertoli cells showed modulation of Abcb1, Abcc4 and Abcc5. Comparison with EB exposure showed similar modulation profiles for Abcg2 but differential modulations for Abcb1, Abcc1, Abcc4 and Abcc5 in vivo, and a similar profile for Abcb1 modulation by ZEN and EB, but differential modulation for Abcc4 and Abcc5 in vitro. ZEN and EB effects were inhibited by in vitro addition of the pure anti-estrogen ICI 182.780, suggesting the at least partial implication of ZEN estrogenic activity in these modulations. These results suggested that ZEN neonatal exposure could affect the exposure of testis to ABC transporter substrates, and negatively influence spermatogenesis and male fertility.

Abstract
The mycotoxin zearalenone (ZEA) is produced by a variety of Fusarium fungi and contaminates numerous cereals, fruits and vegetables. Interacting with the oestrogen receptors, ZEA and reduced metabolites zearalenols (ZOLs) cause hormonal effects in animals, such as abnormalities in the development of the reproductive tract and mammary gland in female offspring. Limited information is available on the pharmacokinetics of ZEA and its metabolites, particularly in pregnant females, foetuses and newborns. Our study was conducted to characterise the tissue distribution and metabolism of ZEA in male and female rats in various physiological states (virgin female, pregnant female) and exposure conditions (subcutaneous versus oral exposure, single versus repeated exposure to 1 mg/kg ZEA). Respective placental and mammary transfer to foetuses and newborns was evaluated. In all states and exposure conditions, α-ZOL and the glucuronides of ZEA and α-ZOL were the predominant metabolites, mostly concentrated in the intestine, the liver and the urine. Toxins were very low or undetectable in most of the tissues 24 h after ZEA exposure, except in foetal livers. Absorption and intestinal glucuronidation of ZEA were higher in males than females. α-ZOL concentration was significantly higher in the intestine and liver of males and pregnant females, compared to virgin females. ZEA and all its metabolites easily crossed the placental barrier and transferred into the milk. ZEA was metabolised in the foetal and neonatal stages, glucuronides being the main form detected in all organs. Metabolite elimination was slower in foetal tissues than in maternal tissues. All toxin concentrations in the foetal and neonatal tissues strongly increased in cases of repeated maternal exposure. A better knowledge of the metabolism and transfer of ZEA in foetuses and newborns will help to evaluate the health risk that such endocrine disruptors represent in these stages.

Abstract
Zearalenone (ZEN) is a non-steroid estrogen mycotoxin produced by numerous strains of Fusarium which commonly contaminate cereals. After oral administration, ZEN is reduced via intestinal and hepatic metabolism to α- and β-zearalenol (αZEL and βZEL). These reduced metabolites possess estrogenic properties, αZEL showing the highest affinity for ERs. ZEN and reduced metabolites cause hormonal effects in animals, such as abnormalities in the development of the reproductive tract and mammary gland in female offspring, suggesting a fetal exposure to these contaminants. In our previous work, we have suggested the potential impact of ZEN on placental cells considering this organ as a potential target of xenobiotics. In this work, we first compared the in vitro effects of αZEL and βΖΕL on cell differentiation to their parental molecule on human trophoblast (BeWo cells). Secondly, we investigated their molecular mechanisms of action by investigating the expression of main differentiation biomarkers and the implication of nuclear receptor by docking prediction. Conversely to ZEN, reduced metabolites did not induce trophoblast differentiation. They also induced significant changes in ABC transporter expression by potential interaction with nuclear receptors (LXR, PXR, PR) that could modify the transport function of placental cells. Finally, the mechanism of ZEN differentiation induction seemed not to involve nuclear receptor commonly involved in the differentiation process (PPARγ). Our results demonstrated that in spite of structure similarities between ZEN, αZEL and βZEL, toxicological effects and toxicity mechanisms were significantly different for the three molecules.

Abstract
Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a prevalent and resistant mycotoxin found in cereals and related products. Adsorbents appear to provide an opportunity to decrease DON absorption in animals but, due to their specificity, it is very difficult to evaluate their actual efficacy. It is pointless to extrapolate results obtained with one mycotoxin to another and even to extrapolate results obtained in vitro in buffer to an in vivo situation. We carried out experiments to characterize the properties of potential DON adsorbents. Initial tests in buffer pH 7 allowed us to focus on six adsorbents: activated charcoal, cholestyramin, Saccharomyces cerevisiae mannans, algal beta-glycan, fungal beta-glycan and leguminous plant. The use of equilibrium sorption models suggested a non-saturated phenomenon and involved variable mechanisms according to the specific material. Subsequent tests with a Caco-2 cell model showed a high reduction in DON cytotoxicity on proliferative intestinal cells and DON absorption by differentiated intestinal cells when adsorbent was added (except for cholestyramin). Otherwise, values were not always in accordance with those obtained in buffer. Our work allowed us to identify five potential DON adsorbents and to propose a complementary in vitro test allowing improved determination of adsorbent properties.

Abstract
The myco-estrogene zearalenone (ZEA) is a worldwide cereal contaminant, implicated in reproductive disorders in animals and humans. Intestinal cells constitute a first barrier to mycotoxins exposure, since they express membrane ABC transporters that may affect the bioavailability of food xenobiotics. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms involved in the transepithelial transfer of ZEA and its major metabolites alpha- and beta-zearalenols (ZOLs), first using human intestinal Caco-2 cells. When exposed to ZEA, alpha-ZOL or beta-ZOL either in the apical (AP) or basolateral (BL) compartment, cells showed asymmetry in the AP-BL and BL-AP transfer of mycotoxins. Metabolic inhibitors increased ZEA, alpha-ZOL and beta-ZOL intracellular accumulation. Caco-2 cells apically exposed to ZEA produced metabolites (ZOLs and glucuronides) whose distribution between AP, BL and intracellular compartments was significantly modified by ABCCs inhibitor MK571. ABCB1-, ABCC1-, ABCC2 and ABCC3-transfected cells were used for studies of intracellular accumulation of ZEA, alpha-ZOL and beta-ZOL with or without specific inhibitors, and for competitive studies using fluorescent substrates. The results showed that ZEA, alpha-ZOL and beta-ZOL were substrates for ABCC2. ABCC1 was also involved in ZEA and alpha-ZOL transport, whereas ABCC3 only interacted with beta-ZOL. These specific interactions suggest a role for ABCC1-3 transport proteins in zearalenone exposure and its resulting risk for human health.

Abstract
Drugs may induce hepatitis through immune mechanisms. In this review we have used the examples of 2 drugs to elucidate the first steps leading to the triggering of such disease, namely tienilic acid (TA) and dihydralazine (DH). These drugs are transformed into reactive metabolite(s) by cytochrome P450 (2C9 for TA and 1A2 for DH) (step 1). The reactive metabolites produced are very short-lived and bind directly to the enzymes which generated them (step 2). A neoantigen is thus formed which triggers an immune response (step 3), characterized by the presence of autoantibodies in the patient's serum (step 4). The autoantibodies are directed against the cytochrome P450 which generated the metabolite(s). Although the process by which TA and DH induce-hepatitis has been elucidated, further studies are necessary to generalize this mechanism. In addition, an animal model will also be useful to fully understand the immune mechanism of this type of disease.

Abstract
Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a major mycotoxic contaminant of cereal grains in Europe and North America. Human and animal contamination occurs mainly orally, and the toxin must traverse the intestinal epithelial barrier before inducing potential health effects. This study investigates the mechanisms of DON transepithelial transfer. Investigations using the human intestinal Caco-2 cell line showed a basal-to-apical polarized transport of the toxin. Both apical-basolateral (AP-BL) and basolateral-apical (BL-AP) transfers were time- and concentration-dependent, and not saturable between 5 and 30 microM DON. Arrhenius plot analysis revealed that transfer of 10 microM DON was temperature-dependent, with apparent activation energy E(a)=3.2 kcal mol(-1) in the AP-BL direction, and E(a)=10.4 kcal mol(-1) in the BL-AP direction. Intracellular DON accumulation was increased and DON efflux was decreased by ATP depletion, by P-glycoprotein inhibitor valspodar and by MRP2 inhibitor MK571, but not by BCRP inhibitor Ko143. Intracellular DON accumulation was then investigated using epithelial cell lines transfected with human P-glycoprotein or MRP2. This accumulation was decreased in LLCPK1-MDR1 and MDCKII-MRP2 cells, compared to wild-type cells, and the decrease could be reversed by valspodar or MK571. Taken together, these results suggest that DON is a substrate for both P-glycoprotein and MRP2.

Abstract
Mycotoxin nivalenol (NIV) is a natural contaminant of various cereal crops, animal feed and processed grains throughout the world. Human and animal contamination occurs mainly orally, and the toxin must traverse the intestinal epithelial barrier before inducing potential health effects. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms involved in NIV transepithelial transfer. The human intestinal Caco-2 cell line showed a basal-to-apical polarized transport of NIV. Using metabolic inhibitors and temperature-dependent experiments, we demonstrated that basolateral-apical (BL-AP) transfer of NIV involved an energy-dependent transport whereas apical-basolateral (AP-BL) transfer was governed by passive diffusion. NIV efflux was significantly decreased in the presence of the P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitor valspodar, the multi-drug resistance-associated proteins (MRPs) inhibitor MK571, but was not modified by the breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) inhibitor Ko143. Intracellular NIV accumulation was investigated using epithelial cell lines transfected with either human P-glycoprotein or MRP2. This accumulation was significantly decreased in LLCPK1/MDR1 and MDCKII/MRP2 cells, compared to wild-type cells, and this effect was reversed by valspodar and MK571, respectively. These in vitro results suggested that NIV was a substrate for both P-glycoprotein and MRP2. This interaction may play a key role in weak intestinal absorption of NIV and the mainly predominant excretion of NIV in faeces in animal studies.

Abstract
Mycotoxin fusariotoxins, essentially represented by trichothecenes, zearalenone and fumonisins, are widely scattered in cereals and their products. Human and animals are particularly concerned by toxicity consecutive to oral chronic exposure. Human exposure can be direct via cereals or indirect via products of animals having eaten contaminated feed. As this alimentary risk is considered as a major problem in public health, it is thus of great importance to determine bioavailability, metabolic pathways and distribution of these mycotoxins in animal and human organism. Most studies indicate that fusariotoxins can be rapidly absorbed in the small intestine but the mechanisms involved remain unclear. Except NIV, fusariotoxins can be partly metabolised into more hydrophilic molecules in digestive tract or liver. Fumonisins present different behaviour as they seem very few and slowly absorbed and metabolised. The main part of absorbed fusariotoxins shows a rapid elimination within 24h after ingestion, followed by a slower excretion of small amounts. However, traces of fusariotoxins or their derivates can be found in animal products. This manuscript, reviewing literature published on fusariotoxin transfer, highlights that too little data are available to correctly appreciate fusariotoxin transfer in organism. Further studies focusing on mechanisms involved in the transfer are needed before clarifying risk assessment for human health.

Abstract
Organophosphate insecticide diazinon is widely used in agricultural practices, submitting farmers to repeated exposure. Because efflux pumps, as P-glycoprotein (P-gp), serve both as natural defense mechanisms and influence the bioavailability and disposition of drugs, we analyzed the ability of diazinon to act as efflux modulator. Oral administration of diazinon (2-20 mg/kg, 5 days, or 10 mg/kg, 2-12 days) increased intestinal mdr1a mRNA of rats, in both dose- and time-dependent manner, and increased the expression of intestinal P-gp. Using the intestinal cell-line Caco-2, we found that 100 microM diazinon significantly inhibited digoxin and vinblastine secretive flux through the cell monolayers, whereas digoxin and vinblastine absorptive flux increased. The 25 microM diazinon was transported preferentially in basolateral (BL) to apical (AP) direction, suggesting a net secretion. The efflux rate significantly decreased in the presence of metabolic inhibitors sodium azide and 2-deoxy-d-glucose, P-gp inhibitors cyclosporin A and valspodar, but not in the presence of MRPs inhibitor MK571. Repeated exposure of Caco-2 cells to diazinon increased P-glycoprotein expression and activity. These results suggested the involvement of P-gp in the transfer of diazinon, leading to potential consequences for xenobiotic interactions, and showed that repeated exposure to low doses of pesticide may lead to up-regulated P-gp functions in the intestine of mammals.

Abstract
The purpose of this work was to investigate the effect of prolonged exposure to diazinon (widely used organophosphorus pesticide) on the intestinal cell-line Caco-2. Cytotoxicity of the pesticide (50μM-6mM) significantly decreased in long-term exposed (20μM, 2 months) cells, compared to untreated control cells. In long-term exposed cells, the resistance to diazinon cytotoxicity was reversed in the presence of PSC-833, a P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitor, but not in the presence of MK 571, a Multidrug Resistance Protein (MRP) inhibitor. Cell exposure to 25μM diazinon showed a secretory-directed transport of the molecule, which increased in long-term exposed cells. This efflux decreased significantly, for both long-term and non-exposed cells, in the presence of verapamil and PSC-833, but not MK 571. Furthermore, the total amount of P-gp increased in long-term exposed cells. These results suggest that ABC transporter P-gp is involved in the intestinal transfer of diazinon, and that repeated exposure to low doses of diazinon could strengthen the activity of ABC transporters in intestinal cells, thus increasing cell resistance to pesticide cytotoxicity.

Abstract
The effects of metal mixture (Cd+Cu) versus single-metal exposure on total MT response and bioaccumulation were investigated in the freshwater bivalve Dreissena polymorpha. A two-month exposure period, including two levels of contamination, was chosen for each of the two metals: 5, 10 microg/L for Cu, and 2, 20 microg/L for Cd, with mixtures of, respectively, 5 microg/L Cu+2 microg/L Cd, 5 microg/L Cu+20 microg/L Cd, 10 microg/L Cu+2 microg/L Cd, and 10 microg/L Cu+20 microg/L Cd. Total MT contents were assessed by an Ag-saturation method, and metals contents were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry. Results at the whole-organism level showed a significant and early increase of total MT biosynthesis after exposure to Cd. This increase was significantly correlated with Cd bioaccumulation. By contrast, Cu did not modify total MT response, and mussels limited Cu bioaccumulation. The mixture either did not influence or only weakly influenced metal accumulation and MT response to Cu and Cd after long-term exposure. Our results suggest that the form of MT existing in D. polymorpha was not Cu-inducible. This could limit the use of MT in D. polymorpha as a biomarker of heavy metal pollution in freshwater ecosystems.

Abstract
The mechanisms of intestinal absorption have not been clearly elucidated for cadmium, a toxic metal. In this work, we show the implication of distinct proteins in cadmium transport, and the transport step where these proteins are involved. We first validated the HT-29 model by evaluating nontoxic doses of cadmium (ranging from 1 to 20 micromol/L), and by quantifying metal uptake and transepithelial transport. The time-course of 1 micromol/L cadmium uptake at pH 7.5 showed three steps: a rapid one during the first 4 min, probably due to cadmium binding to the membrane; a slower one, characterized by Km of 1.65+/-0.54 micromol/L and Vmax of 3.9+/-0.3 micromol/min per mg protein; and a third, corresponding to slow accumulation that was not equilibrated even after 48 h of cadmium exposure. Intracellular metallothionein content following 1 or 5 micromol/L cadmium exposure showed a significant increase after 6 h of exposure, and was not equilibrated even after 72 h, allowing cadmium accumulation. After 24 h of exposure, metallothionein content was 5-fold, 14-fold, 26-fold, and 50-fold, respectively, for cells grown in the presence of 1, 5, 10, and 20 micromol/L cadmium, compared to control cells. The second step of uptake, characterized by carrier-mediated transport, was markedly increased at pH 5.5, compared to pH 7.5, and strongly inhibited by the metabolic inhibitor dinitrophenol. Moreover Nramp2 transporter cDNA was present in HT-29 cells. These data suggest the involvement of a proton-coupled transporter, which may be the divalent cation transporter Nramp2 (natural resistance-associated macrophage protein 2). Cadmium uptake was also inhibited by copper, zinc, and para-chloromercuribenzenesulfonate (pCMBS), but not by verapamil or ouabain. Taken together, our results indicate that cadmium could enter HT-29 cell by Nramp2 proton-coupled active transport and by diffusion, and accumulates in the cell as long as it binds to metallothionein. Cadmium toxicity could depend partly on the activity of Nramp2, and partly on metallothionein content.

Abstract
Exposure of humans to cadmium, a common environmental pollutant, is mainly through food intake. However, the mechanisms of intestinal absorption have not been clearly elucidated for this toxic metal ion. In order to investigate the effects of long-term exposure to this metal and the role of metallothioneins in cadmium absorption, we used human-derived Caco-2 cells cultured on porous membrane filters. We first validated this model by quantifying metal uptake and transepithelial transport on control cells and cells adapted to grow for 2 to 5 weeks in the presence of low doses of cadmium in the culture medium. The nontoxic doses of cadmium (0.1, 1.0, and 5 microM), in which Caco-2 cells could be cultured for many passages without deleterious effects, were determined by evaluating transepithelial resistance of the cells and lactate dehydrogenase leakage. After 24 h of 1 microM Cd exposure, intracellular cadmium levels were 3- and 6-fold higher for cells exposed for extended periods to 1 and 5 microM cadmium, respectively, compared to control cells. In control and long-term exposed cells, this accumulation was inhibited by zinc, copper, and pCMBS, but not by verapamil or ouabain. Intracellular metallothionein content was increased 1.5-, 5-, and 12-fold for the cells grown in the presence of 0.1, 1.0, and 5 microM cadmium, respectively, in the culture medium. The amount of metallothionein synthesized and released by the cells was highly correlated with cadmium accumulation and transport. Our results suggest that Caco-2 cell monolayers are a good predictive model for the study of cadmium intestinal absorption following exposure to repeated low doses of cadmium, and confirm the essential role of metallothionein in the regulation of cadmium intestinal absorption.

Abstract
Carbamazepine is an anticonvulsant associated with a high risk for severe cutaneous reactions. Upon metabolism by cytochrome P450, carbamazepine may produce reactive metabolites. We evaluated in vitro the covalent binding of carbamazepine reactive metabolites on human P450s and then the presence of these P450s in human epidermis. Carbamazepine reactive metabolites covalent binding to human liver microsomes involved P450 subfamilies 1A, 2C and 3A. Specific covalent binding to yeasts expressing different P450s showed that carbamazepine reactive metabolites bound specifically to P450 1A2 and 3A4. We confirmed the constitutive presence of P450 3A in human epidermis and after induction with coaltar of P450 1A. Consequently, the production in epidermis of carbamazepine reactive metabolites is theoretically possible with formation of P450 adduct metabolites.

Abstract
Liver is a frequent target for drug-induced hepatitis. They can be classified in two categories: the hepatitis in which the drug or a metabolite reach a vital target in the cell and the hepatitis in which the drug triggers an adverse immune response directed against the liver. We will discuss essentially this second kind of disease. They have key clinical features such as the low frequency, the dose independence, the delay between the beginning of drug intake and the triggering of the disease, the shortening of the delay upon rechallenge and very often the presence of autoantibodies in the serum of the patients. Such signs were found in hepatitis triggered by drugs such as halothane, tienilic acid, dihydralazine, anticonvulsants. They will be taken as examples to show the recent progress in the understanding of the mechanisms leading to the disease. It has been postulated that the drug is metabolised into a reactive metabolite binding to the enzyme which generated it; therefore the neoantigen might trigger an immune response characterised by the production of antibodies recognising the native and or the modified protein. Most of these steps were proven in the cases of halothane, tienilic acid and dihydralazine. Several points seem important in the development of the disease; the equilibrium between toxication and detoxication pathways, the nature and amount of neoantigen, the individual immune response. However, many points remain unclear: for instance, the reason for the very low frequency of this kind of disease; the precise mechanism of the adverse immune response; the risk factors for developing such adverse reactions. Efforts should be made to better understand the mechanisms of this kind of disease: for instance, an animal model, tests to identify drugs at risk for such reactions, the role of these drugs in the processing of P450s and the processing of the neoantigens for their presentation to the immune system.

Abstract
The metabolism of benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) and its proximate mutagen B[a]P-7,8-dihydrodiol (7,8-diol) was investigated in the presence of human microsomal epoxide hydrolase and P450 1A1, 1A2, 2C8, 2C9, 2C18, 2C19, 2D6 and 3A4 expressed in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. P450 1A1 had the highest turnover numbers for the formation of all B[a]P metabolites, including phenols and dihydrodiols. P450 1A2, 2C8, 2C9, 2C18, 2C19 and 3A4, which are well represented in the liver, gave rise to the formation of appreciable amounts of 3-hydroxy-B[a]P and of some dihydrodiols from B[a]P. When 7,8-diol was used as substrate, P450 1A1 also exhibited the highest turnover numbers for the formation of tetrols, the hydrolysis products of the diolepoxides, whereas P450 1A2, 2C8, 2C19 and 3A4 showed moderate activities. In order to test the validity of the yeast system, the contribution of each P450 isoform to B[a]P and 7,8-diol metabolism was evaluated as the product of the turnover numbers of recombinant P450s by specific contents of each P450 in human liver microsomes. Calculated formation rates for each B[a]P and 7,8-diol metabolite globally matched experimental values. There is evidence that P450 3A4 and 2C9 play a major role in the formation of 3-hydroxy-B[a]P from B[a]P. Accumulation of the proximate mutagen 7,8-diol was predicted to be mainly driven by P450 1A2, 2C9 and 2C19, while formation of the genotoxic diolepoxides from 7,8-diol appeared to be dependent on P450 1A2 and 3A4 in the liver.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Interindividual variations in immunoreactivity and function of three major human drug metabolising P450 monooxygenases has been investigated in liver microsomes from 42 Caucasians (kidney donors or liver biopsies). METHODS Diclofenac 4'-hydroxylation, dextromethorphan O-demethylation and midazolam 1'-hydroxylation, measured by HPLC in incubates, were used as probes to determine CYP2C9, CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 function kinetics, respectively. Immunoquantification of the three isoforms was achieved by Western blotting, using rabbit polyclonal antibodies raised against human CYP2C9 and human CYP3A4, and mouse monoclonal antibody raised against human CYP2D6. RESULTS Diclofenac 4'-hydroxylation exhibited Michaelis-Menten kinetics with kM = 3.4 mumol.l-1 and Vmax = 45 nmole.mg-1 P.h-1. Relative immunoreactivity of CYP2C9 was correlated with Vmax and CL(int). Dextromethorphan O-demethylation in EM (extensive metabolisers) liver microsomes also showed Michaelis-Menten kinetics, with kM = 4.4 mumol.l-1 and Vmax = 5.0 nmol.mg-1 P.h-1. Relative immunoreactivity of CYP2D6 was correlated with Vmax and CL(int). Midazolam 1'-hydroxylation also exhibited Michaelis-Menten kinetics with kM = 3.3 mumol.l-1 and Vmax = 35 nmol.mg-1 P.h-1. Relative immunoreactivity of CYP3A4 was correlated with Vmax and CL(int). Immunoreactivity and function were correlated for each isozyme, but there was no cross correlation between isozymes. CONCLUSION The velocity of metabolite formation (Vmax) by the three major human drug metabolising P450 monoxygenases is correlated with their immunoreactivity in liver microsomes. Interindividual variation was much larger for Vmax than kM. Interindividual variability was more pronounced for CYP2D6, probably due to the presence of several different functional alleles in the population of extensive metabolisers.

Abstract
Tienilic acid-induced hepatitis is characterized by the presence of anti-liver and -kidney microsomal (anti-LKM2) autoantibodies in patient sera. Cytochrome P4502C9(CYP2C9), involved in the metabolism of tienilic acid, was shown to be a target for tienilic acid-reactive metabolites and for autoantibodies. To further investigate the relationship between drug metabolism and the pathogenesis of this drug-induced autoimmune disease, the specificity of anti-LKM2 autoantibodies toward CYP2C9 was first determined, and the antigenic sites on CYP2C9 were localized. By constructing several deletion mutants derived from CYP2C9 cDNA and by probing the corresponding proteins with different anti-LKM2 sera, we defined three regions (amino acids 314-322, 345-356, and 439-455); they interacted to form a major conformational autoantibody binding site. This binding site was immunoreactive with 100% of sera and allowed removal of the entire reactivity of the sera tested by immunoblotting. Epitope mapping studies have been performed for CYP2D6, CYP17, CYP21A2, and, recently, CYP3A. Those data were compared with the results obtained in the current study with CYP2C9 in an attempt to elucidate one of the mechanisms by which CYP becomes immunogenic.

Abstract
Cytochromes P450 (CYP) constitute a superfamily of enzymes involved in the metabolism of xenobiotics. Within the same subfamily, the isoforms present strong similarities, making them difficult to characterize and differentiate. Using heterologous expression in bacteria, five pure human CYP (1A1, 1A2, 2C9, 2E1, 3A4) were easily obtained and used as antigens to raise specific antibodies. These antibodies were characterized for their specificity and sensitivity by immunoblots; anti-CYP3A4 was immunoinhibitor. These antibodies could be used in association with other means to identify the CYPs responsible for production of a given metabolite. The use of our human recombinant CYP1A2 as antigen and the corresponding specific antibody enabled us to quantify the CYP1A2 content in 43 human livers. The average level was 69 pmol of CYP1A2/mg of microsomal proteins. Finally, these antibodies were also used to evaluate the level of heme incorporation in human microsomal CYP expressed in yeasts.

Abstract
In order to better understand the first steps leading to drug-induced immunoallergic hepatitis, we studied the target of anti-LKM2 autoantibodies appearing in tienilic acid-induced hepatitis, and the target of tienilic acid-reactive metabolites. It was identified as cytochrome P450 2C9, (P450 2C9): indeed, anti-LKM2 specifically recognized P450 2C9, but none of the other P450s tested (including other 2C subfamily members, 2C8 and 2C18). Tienilic acid-reactive metabolite(s) specifically bound to P450 2C9, and experiments with yeast expressing active isolated P450s showed that P450 2C9 was responsible for tienilic acid-reactive metabolite(s) production. Results of qualitative and quantitative covalent binding of tienilic acid metabolite(s) to human liver microsomes were then compared to those obtained with two drugs leading to direct toxic hepatitis, namely, acetaminophen and chloroform. Kinetic constants (Km and Vmax) were measured, and the covalent binding profile of the metabolites to human liver microsomal proteins was studied. Tienilic acid had both the lowest Km and the highest covalent binding rate at pharmacological doses. For acetaminophen and chloroform, several microsomal proteins were covalently bound, while covalent binding was highly specific for tienilic acid and dihydralazine, another drug leading to immunoallergic hepatitis. Although low numbers of drugs were tested, these results led us to think that there may exist a relationship between the specificity of covalent binding and the type of hepatotoxicity.
