Abstract
We have previously shown that high-protein (HP) diet ingestion causes marked changes in the luminal environment of the colonic epithelium. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of such modifications on small intestinal and colonic mucosa, two segments with different transit time and physiological functions. Rats were fed with either normal protein (NP; 14% protein) or HP (53% protein) isocaloric diet for 2 weeks, and parameters related to intestinal mucous-secreting cells and to several innate/adaptive immune characteristics (myeloperoxidase activity, cytokine and epithelial TLR expression, proportion of immune cells in gut-associated lymphoid tissues) were measured in the ileum and colon. In ileum from HP animals, we observed hyperplasia of mucus-producing cells concomitant with an increased expression of Muc2 at both gene and protein levels, reduction of mucosal myeloperoxidase activity, down-regulation of Tlr4 gene expression in enterocytes and down-regulation of mucosal Th cytokines associated with CD4+ lymphocyte reduction in mesenteric lymph nodes. These changes coincided with an increased amount of acetate in the ileal luminal content. In colon, HP diet ingestion resulted in a lower number of goblet cells at the epithelial surface but increased goblet cell number in colonic crypts together with an increased Muc3 and a slight reduction of Il-6 gene expression. Our data suggest that HP diet modifies the goblet cell distribution in colon and, in ileum, increases goblet cell activity and decreases parameters related to basal gut inflammatory status. The impact of HP diet on intestinal mucosa in terms of beneficial or deleterious effects is discussed.

Abstract
Molecular and genetic investigations in endometrial carcinogenesis may have prognostic and therapeutic implications. We studied the expression of EGFR, c-Met, PTEN and the mTOR signalling pathway (phospho-AKT/phospho-mTOR/phospho-RPS6) in 69 consecutive tumours and 16 tissue microarrays. We also analysed PIK3CA, K-Ras mutations and microsatellite instability (MSI). We distinguished two groups: group 1 (grade 1 and 2 endometrioid cancers) and group 2 (grade 3 endometrioid and type II clear and serous cell cancers). We hypothesised that these histological groups might have different features. We found that a) survival was higher in group 1 with less aggressive tumours (P⟨0.03); b) EGFR (P=0.01), PTEN and the AKT/mTOR/RPS6 signalling pathway were increased in group 1 versus group 2 (P=0.05 for phospho-mTOR); c) conversely, c-Met was higher (P⟨0.03) in group 2 than in group 1; d) In group 1, EGFR was correlated with c-Met, phospho-mTOR, phospho-RPS6 and the global activity of the phospho-AKT/phospho-mTOR/phospho-RPS6 pathway. In group 2, EGFR was correlated only with the phospho-AKT/phospho-mTOR/phospho-RPS6 pathway, whereas c-Met was correlated with PTEN; e) survival was higher for tumours with more than 50% PTEN-positive cells; f) K-RAS and PIK3CA mutations occurred in 10-12% of the available tumours and MSI in 40.4%, with a loss of MLH1 and PMS2 expression. Our results for endometrial cancers provide the first evidence for a difference in status between groups 1 and 2. The patients may benefit from different targeted treatments, anti-EGFR agents and rapamycin derivatives (anti-mTOR) for group 1 and an anti c-MET/ligand complex for group 2.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression and the prognostic value of chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4), its cognate ligand the CXCL12, and markers of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the mobile tongue. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with primary SCC of the mobile tongue who underwent surgery in our center were screened retrospectively. Patients without prior treatment, who had pre-surgery TNM staging and available tumor samples, were eligible. Protein expression of CXCL12, CXCR4, CA9, E-cadherin, and vimentin was determined by immunohistochemical staining, scored, and correlated with clinical and pathological parameters and overall survival. Multivariate and Cox proportional hazards analyses were performed. RESULTS Among 160 patients treated and screened, 47 were analyzed. CXCR4 and CXCL12 expression was high in tumor cells. CXCR4 expression in primary tumor samples was significantly higher in patients with high-grade tumors, lymph node metastases, and microscopic nerve invasion (p ≤ 0.05). There was a non-significant trend towards a correlation between high CXCL12 expression and pathologic tumor stage (p=0.07). Tumors with high CXCR4 expression correlated with poor overall survival (hazard ratio=3.6, 95% confidence interval 1.3-9.7; p=0.011), notably in the CXCR4(high)/vimentin-positive subgroup. Vimentin-positive tumors, characterizing EMT, were associated with lower survival (hazard ratio=4.5, 95% confidence interval 1.6-12.3; p=0.0086). Multivariate analysis confirmed vimentin (but not CXCR4) expression as an independent prognostic factor of poor overall survival (p=0.016). CONCLUSION Our results suggest that CXCR4 is a marker of tumor aggressiveness and vimentin is an important and independent prognostic factor in patients with SCC of the mobile tongue.

Abstract
Resistance to apoptosis is a recurrent theme in colon cancer. We have shown previously that the 7-transmembrane spanning receptor OX1R for orexins promotes robust apoptosis in the human colon cancer cell line HT29 through an entirely novel mechanism involving phosphorylation of tyrosine-based motifs in OX1R. Here, we investigated the status of OX1R in a large series of human colorectal tumors and hepatic metastases. All primary colorectal tumors regardless of their localization and Duke's stages and all hepatic metastases tested expressed OX1R mRNA and/or protein. In sharp contrast, adjacent normal colonocytes or hepatocytes as well as control normal tissues were negative. Next, we showed that nine human colon cancer cell lines established from primary tumors or metastases expressed OX1R mRNA and underwent important apoptosis on orexin-A challenge. Most interestingly, orexin-A also promoted robust apoptosis in cells that are resistant to the most commonly used drug in colon cancer chemotherapy, 5-fluorouracil. When human colon cancer cells were xenografted in nude mice, orexin-A administered at day 0 strongly slowed the tumor growth and even reversed the development of established tumors when administered 7 days after cell inoculation. Orexin-A also acts by promoting tumor apoptosis in vivo because caspase-3 is activated in tumors on orexin treatment of nude mice. These findings support that OX1R is an Achilles heel of colon cancers, even after metastasis or chemoresistance. They suggest that OX1R agonists might be novel candidates for colon cancer therapy.

Abstract
High prevalence of squamous anal lesions is linked to oncogenic human papillomavirus (HPV). Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) promotes anal carcinogenesis. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), HER2/neu, c-Met, and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-1 (VEGFR1) (tyrosine kinase growth factor receptors) are implicated in tumor progression, but little is known about their role in anal lesions. We investigated their expression and distribution in normal, dysplastic, and carcinomatous anal epithelium and then tried to analyze the effects on these variables of HPV and the HIV-positive status. Seventy-one HIV-positive and 47 HIV-negative patients were selected. We studied growth factor receptors, p16 and Ki67 expression, by in situ hybridization, fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) and chromogen in situ hybridization (CISH), immunocytochemistry, and morphological quantification in 226 lesions, either infected by HPV6 and 11 (31 condylomas acuminata) or infected with oncogenic HPVs (48 invasive cancers, 147 anal intraepithelial neoplasias). No HER2/neu was detected. Strong EGFR immunolabeling was not accompanied by gene amplification. The number and intensity of EGFR- and c-Met-immunoreactive cells increased significantly during lesion progression, highlighting the effects of oncogenic HPVs. EGFR, c-Met, VEGFR1, and p16 were coexpressed in 96% of invasive cancers. HIV-modified c-Met expression in condyloma acuminata (P < .008) and invasive cancers (P < .02). Strong HIV-related immunodeficiency and an absence of antiretroviral therapy increased c-Met and/or EGFR expression. HIV-positive anal cancers showed correlated c-Met and VEGFR1 (P < .003), strong p16 labeling, and an increased Ki67 proliferation. The finding that EGFR, c-Met, and VEGFR1 involved in carcinogenesis are well-represented and coexpressed in anal cancers, especially in HIV-positive population, suggests possible novel targeted treatments for anal diseases.

Abstract
In humans, asphyxic deaths and severe poisonings have been attributed to high-dosage buprenorphine, a maintenance therapy for heroin addiction. However, in rats, intravenous buprenorphine at doses up to 90 mg kg(-1) was not associated with significant effects on arterial blood gases. In contrast, norbuprenorphine, the buprenorphine major cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A-derived metabolite, is a potent respiratory depressant. Thus, our aim was to study the consequences of CYP3A induction on buprenorphine-associated effects on resting ventilation in rats. We investigated the effects on ventilation of 30 mg kg(-1) buprenorphine alone or following cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A induction with dexamethasone, using whole body plethysmography (N=24) and arterial blood gases (N=12). Randomized animals in 4 groups received sequential intraperitoneal dosing with: (dexamethasone [days 1-3]+buprenorphine [day 4]), (dexamethasone solvent [days 1-3]+buprenorphine [day 4]), (dexamethasone [days 1-3]+buprenorphine solvent [day 4]), or (dexamethasone solvent [days 1-3]+buprenorphine solvent [day 4]). Buprenorphine alone caused a significant rapid and sustained increase in the inspiratory time (P<0.001), without significant effects on the respiratory frequency, the tidal volume, the minute volume, or arterial blood gases. In dexamethasone-pretreated rats, there was no significant alteration in the respiratory parameters, despite CYP3A induction and significant increase of the ratio of plasma norbuprenorphine-to-buprenorphine concentrations. In conclusion, dexamethasone did not modify the effects of 30 mg kg(-1) buprenorphine on rat ventilation. Our results suggest a limited role of drug-mediated CYP3A induction in the occurrence of buprenorphine-attributed respiratory depression in addicts.

Abstract
AIM: To investigate the role of Beclin 1 on the susceptibility of HepG2 cells to undergo apoptosis after anti-Fas antibody or doxorubicin treatment.
METHODS: Beclin 1 silencing was achieved using RNA interference. DNA ploidy, the percentage of apoptotic cells and the mitochondrial membrane potential were assessed by flow cytometry. Levels of Beclin 1, Bcl-XL and cytochrome c, and the cleavage of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) were assayed by using Western blots.
RESULTS: Beclin 1 expression decreased by 75% 72 h after Beclin 1 siRNA transfection. Partial Beclin 1 silencing significantly increased the percentage of subG1 cells 24 and 40 h after treatment with doxorubicin or anti-Fas antibody, respectively, and this potentiation was abrogated by treatment with a pan-caspase inhibitor. Partial Beclin 1 silencing also increased PARP cleavage, mitochondrial membrane depolarization and cytosolic cytochrome c. The pro-apoptotic consequences of partial Beclin 1 silencing were not associated with a decline in Bcl-XL expression.
CONCLUSION: Partial Beclin 1 silencing aggravates mitochondrial permeabilization and apoptosis in HepG2 cells treated with an anti-Fas antibody or with doxorubicin.

Abstract
Like other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, nimesulide (4-nitro-2-phenoxymethane-sulfoanilide) triggers hepatitis in a few recipients. Although nimesulide has been shown to uncouple mitochondrial respiration and cause hepatocyte necrosis in the absence of albumin, mechanisms for cell death are incompletely understood, and comparisons with human concentrations are difficult because 99% of nimesulide is albumin-bound. We studied the effects of nimesulide, with or without a physiological concentration of albumin, in isolated rat liver mitochondria or microsomes and in human hepatoma cells. Nimesulide did not undergo monoelectronic nitro reduction in microsomes. In mitochondria incubated without albumin, nimesulide (50 microM) decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential (DeltaPsim), increased basal respiration, and potentiated the mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) triggered by calcium preloading. In HUH-7 cells incubated for 24 h without albumin, nimesulide (1 mM) decreased the DeltaPsim and cell NADPH and increased the glutathione disulfide/reduced glutathione ratio and cell peroxides; nimesulide triggered MPT, ATP depletion, high cell calcium, and caused mostly necrosis, with rare apoptotic cells. Coincubation with either cyclosporin A (an MPT inhibitor) or the combination of fructose-1,6-diphosphate (a glycolysis substrate) and oligomycin (an ATPase inhibitor) prevented the decrease in DeltaPsim, ATP depletion, and cell death. A physiological concentration of albumin abolished the effects of nimesulide on isolated mitochondria or HUH-7 cells. In conclusion, the weak acid, nimesulide, uncouples mitochondria and triggers MPT and ATP depletion in isolated mitochondria or hepatoma cells incubated without albumin. However, in the presence of albumin, only a fraction of the drug enters cells or organelles, and uncoupling and toxicity are not observed.

Abstract
A genetic dimorphism incorporates either alanine (Ala) or valine (Val) in the mitochondrial targeting sequence (MTS) of manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD). The Ala-MTS confers a 40% higher MnSOD activity than the Val-MTS after import into isolated mitochondria in vitro. The present study aimed to characterize functional consequences in whole cells. HuH7 human hepatoma cells were transfected with vectors encoding for the human Ala- or Val-MnSOD variants fused to a Myc-His-tag. The Ala-variant resulted in four-fold higher levels of the mature exogenous protein and MnSOD activity than the Val-variant. Studies with a proteasome inhibitor indicated that precursor proteins are either imported into the mitochondria or degraded by the proteasome. Despite identical levels 8 h after transfection, mRNA levels at 36 h were two-fold higher for the Ala-encoding mRNA than the Val-mRNA. Decreasing the mitochondrial membrane potential decreased both MnSOD mitochondrial import and its mRNA levels. Much larger differences in the activity of the human Val- and Ala-MnSOD variants are observed in whole cells rather than after import experiments performed in vitro. First, the slowly imported Val-MnSOD is degraded by the proteasome in cells. Second, the slower mitochondrial import of the Val-variant may be associated with decreased mRNA stability, possibly due to impaired cotranslational import.

Abstract
Enhanced hepatic levels of cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) may play a key role in the pathogenesis of some liver diseases because CYP2E1 represents a significant source of reactive oxygen species. Although a large fraction of CYP2E1 is located in the endoplasmic reticulum, CYP2E1 is also present in mitochondria. In this study, we asked whether ethanol, a known inducer of microsomal CYP2E1, could also increase CYP2E1 within mitochondria. Our findings indicated that ethanol increased microsomal and mitochondrial CYP2E1 in cultured rat hepatocytes and in the liver of lean mice. This was associated with decreased levels of glutathione, possibly reflecting increased oxidative stress. In contrast, in leptin-deficient obese mice, ethanol administration did not increase mitochondrial CYP2E1, nor it depleted mitochondrial glutathione, suggesting that leptin deficiency hampers mitochondrial targeting of CYP2E1. Thus, ethanol intoxication increases CYP2E1 not only in the endoplasmic reticulum but also in mitochondria, thus favouring oxidative stress in these compartments.

Abstract
The hepatotoxicity of several drugs is increased by mild viral infections. During such infections, death receptor ligands are expressed at low levels, and most parenchymal cells survive. We tested the hypothesis that subliminal death receptor stimulation may aggravate the hepatotoxicity of drugs, which are transformed by cytochrome P-450 cytochrome P-450 into glutathione-depleting reactive metabolites. Twenty-four-hour-fasted mice were pretreated with a subtoxic dose of the agonistic Jo2 anti-Fas antibody (1 microg per mouse) 3 hours before acetaminophen (500 mg/kg) or 1 hour before bromobenzene (400 mg/kg) administration. Administration of Jo2 alone increased hepatic inducible nitric oxide synthase nitric oxide synthase but did not modify serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), hepatic adenosine triphosphate (ATP), glutathione (GSH), cytochrome P-450, cytosolic cytochrome c, caspase-3 activity or hepatic morphology. However, pretreating mice with Jo2 further decreased both hepatic GSH and ATP by 40% 4 hours after acetaminophen administration, and further increased serum ALT and the area of centrilobular necrosis at 24 hours. In mice pretreated with the Jo2 antibody before bromobenzene administration, hepatic GSH 4 hours after bromobenzene administration was 51% lower than in mice treated with bromobenzene alone, and serum ALT activity at 24 hours was 47-fold higher. In conclusion, administration of a subtoxic dose of an agonistic anti-Fas antibody before acetaminophen or bromobenzene increases metabolite-mediated GSH depletion and hepatotoxicity. Subliminal death receptor stimulation may be one mechanism whereby mild viral infections can increase drug-induced toxicity.

Abstract
This study shows that leptin induced a rapid phosphorylation of p42/44 mitogen-activated protein kinase, an enhancement of both NF-kappaB DNA binding and transcriptional activities, and a concentration-dependent increase of HT-29 cell proliferation. These effects are consistent with the presence of leptin receptors on cell membranes. The leptin induction of cell growth was associated with an increase of cell population in S and G2/M phase compared with control cells found in G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle. Moreover, cyclin D1 immunoreactivity was enhanced in leptin-treated HT-29 cells and this increase was essentially associated with cell population in G0/G1 phase. On the other hand, we observed that sodium butyrate inhibited cell proliferation by blocking HT-29 cells in G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle. Interestingly, at physiological concentration, leptin prevented sodium butyrate-induced morphological nucleus changes, DNA laddering and suppressed butyrate-induced cell cycle arrest. This anti-apoptotic effect of leptin was associated with HT-29 cell proliferation and activation NF-kappaB pathways. However, the phosphorylation of p42/44 MAP kinase in response to leptin was reduced in butyrate-treated cells. These data demonstrated that leptin is a potent mitogenic factor for intestinal epithelial cells through the MAP kinase and NF-kappaB pathways. They also showed, for the first time, that leptin promotes colon cancer HT-29 cell survival upon butyrate challenge by counteracting the apoptotic programs initiated by this short chain fatty acid probably through the NF-kappaB pathways. Although further studies are required to unravel the precise mechanism, these data may have significance in the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer and ulcerative colitis diseases.

Abstract
After several weeks of treatment, levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) increase in 50% of patients treated with tacrine for Alzheimer's disease. We looked for progressive effects on DNA to explain delayed toxicity. We first studied the in vitro effects of tacrine on DNA replication and topoisomerase-mediated DNA relaxation. We then treated mice with doses of tacrine reproducing the human daily dose on a body area basis and studied the effects of tacrine administration for up to 28 days on hepatic DNA, mitochondrial function, and cell death. In vitro, tacrine impaired DNA polymerase gamma-mediated DNA replication and also poisoned topoisomerases I and II to increase the relaxation of a supercoiled plasmid. In vivo, administration of tacrine markedly decreased incorporation of [(3)H]thymidine into mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), progressively and severely depleted mtDNA, and partly unwound supercoiled mtDNA into circular mtDNA. Incorporation of [(3)H]thymidine into nuclear DNA (nDNA) was barely decreased, and nDNA levels were unchanged. After 12 to 28 days of treatment, administration of tacrine increased p53, Bax, mitochondrial permeability transition, cytosolic cytochrome c, and caspase-3 activity and triggered hepatocyte apoptosis and/or necrosis. In conclusion, the intercalating drug tacrine poisons topoisomerases and impairs DNA synthesis. Tacrine has been shown to accumulate within mitochondria, and it particularly targets mtDNA. After several weeks of treatment, the combination of severe mtDNA depletion and a genotoxic stress enhancing p53, Bax, and permeability transition trigger hepatocyte necrosis and/or apoptosis.

Abstract
Whereas alpidem is hepatotoxic, zolpidem is not. Despite closely related chemical structures, alpidem, but not zolpidem, is a peripheral benzodiazepine receptor (PBR) ligand, and is also more lipophilic than zolpidem. We compared their effects in isolated rat liver mitochondria and rat hepatocytes. Zolpidem did not affect calcium-induced mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) in mitochondria, caused little glutathione depletion in hepatocytes, and was not toxic, even at 500 microM. At 250 to 500 microM, alpidem prevented calcium-induced MPT in isolated mitochondria, but caused severe glutathione depletion in hepatocytes that was increased by 3-methylcholanthrene, a cytochrome P4501A inducer, and decreased by cystine, a glutathione precursor. Although cell calcium increased, mitochondrial cytochrome c did not translocate to the cytosol and cells died of necrosis. Cell death was prevented by cystine, but not cyclosporin A, an MPT inhibitor. At low concentrations (25-50 microM), in contrast, alpidem accelerated calcium-induced MPT in mitochondria. It did not deplete glutathione in hepatocytes, but nevertheless caused some cell death that was prevented by cyclosporin A, but not by cystine. Alpidem (10 microM) also increased the toxicity of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (1 ng/ml) in hepatocytes. In conclusion, low concentrations of alpidem increase both calcium-induced MPT in mitochondria, and TNF-alpha toxicity in cells, like other PBR ligands. Like other lipophilic protonatable amines, however, alpidem inhibits calcium-induced MPT at high concentrations. At these high concentrations, toxicity involves cytochrome P4501A-mediated metabolic activation, glutathione depletion, and increased cell calcium, without MPT involvement. In contrast, zolpidem has no mitochondrial effects, causes little glutathione depletion, and is not toxic.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Although sublingual buprenorphine is safely used as a substitution drug in heroin addicts, large overdoses or intravenous misuse may cause hepatitis. Buprenorphine is N-dealkylated to norbuprenorphine by CYP3A. METHODS We investigated the mitochondrial effects and metabolic activation of buprenorphine in isolated rat liver mitochondria and microsomes, and its toxicity in isolated rat hepatocytes and treated mice. RESULTS Whereas norbuprenorphine had few mitochondrial effects, buprenorphine (25-200 microM) concentrated in mitochondria, collapsed the membrane potential, inhibited beta-oxidation, and both uncoupled and inhibited respiration in rat liver mitochondria. Both buprenorphine and norbuprenorphine (200 microM) underwent CYP3A-mediated covalent binding to rat liver microsomal proteins and both caused moderate glutathione depletion and increased cell calcium in isolated rat hepatocytes, but only buprenorphine also depleted cell adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and caused necrotic cell death. Four hours after buprenorphine administration to mice (100 nmol/g body weight), hepatic glutathione was unchanged, while ATP was decreased and serum transaminase increased. This transaminase increase was attenuated by a CYP3A inducer and aggravated by a CYP3A inhibitor. CONCLUSIONS Both buprenorphine and norbuprenorphine undergo metabolic activation, but only buprenorphine impairs mitochondrial respiration and ATP formation. The hepatotoxicity of high concentrations or doses of buprenorphine is mainly related to its mitochondrial effects.

Abstract
Anti-cytochrome P450 (CYP)1A2 autoantibodies are found in dihydralazine-induced hepatitis, and CYPs2B and 2C have been shown to follow vesicular flow to the plasma membrane (PM). However, it is unknown whether other CYPs follow this route, whether NADPH-CYP reductase is present on the hepatocyte surface, and whether autoimmune hepatitis-inducing drugs increase PM CYPs. In this study, we determined the transmembrane topology and transport of CYPs1A in rat hepatocytes. In cultured hepatocytes, colchicine and other vesicular transport inhibitors decreased PM CYPs1A assessed by flow cytometry. Colchicine administration also decreased PM CYPs1A in vivo. Pulse chase experiments with [(35)S]methionine showed that only the newly synthesized CYP molecules are transferred to the PM, whereas microsomal CYP1A2 was stably radiolabeled for several hours. In contrast, radiolabeled CYP1A2 reached the PM and disappeared from the PM with half-lives of less than 30 min. Confocal microscopy, biotinylation, and coimmunoprecipitation experiments showed that PM CYPs1A and CYP reductase are present on the cell surface, and that the reductase is closely associated with PM CYPs. Exposure of whole cells to an anti-CYP1A1/2 antibody at 4 degrees C, before five washes and PM preparation, abolished PM CYPs1A-supported monooxygenase activity, indicating that PM CYPs are mostly located on the external surface. Dihydralazine and other CYPs1A inducers increased PM CYPs1A. In conclusion, newly synthesized CYPs1A follow vesicular flow to the outside of the PM, and NADPH-CYP reductase also is located on the hepatocyte surface. Dihydralazine administration increases PM CYP1A2, its autoimmune target.

Abstract
The interaction of interleukin-2 (IL-2) with its receptor (IL-2R) decreases cytochrome P-450 (CYP) expression in rat hepatocytes. Because IL-2 increases c-Myc in lymphocytes and because c-myc overexpression represses several genes, we postulated that the IL-2/IL-2R interaction may increase c-Myc and thereby down-regulate CYP in hepatocytes. Cultured rat hepatocytes were exposed for 24 h to IL-2 (350 U/ml) and other agents. IL-2 increased c-myc mRNA and protein but decreased total CYP and the mRNAs and proteins of CYP2C11 and CYP3A. The IL-2-mediated c-myc overexpression and CYP down-regulation were prevented by 1) genistein (a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that blocks the initial transduction of the IL-2R signal), 2) retinoic acid, butyric acid, or dimethyl sulfoxide (three agents that block c-myc transcription), or 3) an antisense c-myc oligonucleotide (which may cause rapid degradation of the c-myc transcript). It is concluded that IL-2 causes the overexpression of c-myc and the down-regulation of CYPs in rat hepatocytes. Block of c-myc overexpression, at three different levels with five different agents, prevents CYP down-regulation, suggesting that c-myc overexpression may directly or indirectly repress CYP in hepatocytes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS An epidemic of hepatitis due to germander teas or capsules recently occurred in France. The aim of the present study was to show the hepatotoxicity of germander and determine its mechanism in mice. METHODS A germander tea lyophilisate and a fraction that isolated and concentrated 10-fold the furano neo-clerodane diterpenoids of the lyophilisate were prepared. RESULTS (1) Intragastric administration of the lyophilisate (1.25 g/kg) or the furano neo-clerodane diterpenoid fraction (0.125 mg/kg) produced similar midzonal liver cell necrosis at 24 hours in mice. (2) Toxicity was prevented by pretreatment with a single dose of troleandomycin (a specific inhibitor of cytochromes P4503A) and enhanced by pretreatment with dexamethasone or clotrimazole (two inducers of cytochromes P4503A). (3) Toxicity was attenuated by pretreatment with butylated hydroxyanisole or clofibrate (two inducers of microsomal epoxide hydrolase) and markedly increased by phorone-induced glutathione depletion. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that germander constituents (probably its furano neo-clerodane diterpenoids) are transformed by cytochromes P450 (particularly P4503A) into hepatotoxic metabolites. The metabolites (probably epoxides) are partly inactivated by glutathione and probably epoxide hydrolase.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anti-cytochrome P-450 autoantibodies are present in several forms of autoimmune hepatitis. The possibility that cytochromes P-450 are present in the plasma membrane of human hepatocytes was examined. METHODS (1) Plasma membranes with microsomal contamination < 1%, as judged from the activities of glucose-6-phosphatase and NADH-cytochrome c reductase, were prepared. (2) After exposure of uncut, fixed hepatocytes to antibodies, immunofluorescence and immunoperoxidase studies were performed. RESULTS (1) The specific content of cytochrome P-450 in plasma membrane was 9% of that in microsomes. Plasma membranes showed NADPH-cytochrome c reductase and mono-oxygenase activities; immunoblots showed the presence of cytochromes P-450 1A2, 2C, 2D6, 2E1, and 3A4; cytochromes P-450 1A2, 2D6, and 2C were also recognized by anti-liver microsome and anti-liver/kidney microsome type 1 and type 2 autoantibodies, respectively. (2) Immunofluorescence and immunoperoxidase labeling of the plasma membrane was observed with the three auto-antibodies and with anti-cytochrome P-450 1A2, 2C, 2E1, or 3A4. CONCLUSIONS It is concluded that cytochromes P-450 are present and functional in the plasma membrane of human hepatocytes and that anti-cytochrome P-450 autoantibodies recognize epitopes expressed on the outer surface.

Abstract
Antibodies against cytochrome P-450 are found in some children with autoimmune hepatitis (antiliver/kidney microsome 1) and in patients with ticrynafen hepatitis (antiliver/kidney microsome 2). For an immune reaction against cytochrome P-450 to possibly destroy the hepatocytes, one must assume that cytochrome P-450 is present on the plasma membrane surface of hepatocytes. In a first series of experiments, plasma membranes were prepared with a technique based on the electrostatic attachment of isolated hepatocytes to polyethyleneimine-coated beads. After vortexing, beads were coated with a very pure plasma membrane fraction. Microsomal contamination, judged from the specific activities of glucose-6-phosphatase or NADH-cytochrome c reductase, was less than 1%. Nevertheless, the specific content (per milligram of protein) of CO-binding cytochrome P-450 was 20% of that in microsomes; the specific benzo(a)pyrene hydroxylase activity was 25%, and ethoxycoumarin deethylase 11%. Immunoblots showed the presence of cytochromes P-450 UT-A, UT-H, PB-B, ISF-G and PCN-E, the last three isoenzymes being inducible by, respectively, phenobarbital, 3-methylcholanthrene and dexamethasone. In a second series of experiments, nonpermeabilized isolated hepatocytes from untreated rats were incubated with anticytochrome P-450 antibodies. Immunofluorescence and immunoperoxidase staining confirmed the presence of cytochromes P-450 UT-A, PB-B and ISF-G on the membrane. In a last series of experiments, human antiliver-kidney microsomal 1 antibodies were found to react specifically with rat liver plasma membrane cytochrome P-450 UT-H (IID subfamily). We conclude that several cytochrome P-450 isoenzymes are present, active and inducible on the plasma membrane surface of hepatocytes. It is therefore conceivable that immunization against plasma membrane cytochrome P-450 might lead to the immunological destruction of hepatocytes in some patients.

Abstract
Administration of [14C]tianeptine (0.5 mmol/kg i.p.) to non-pretreated hamsters resulted in the in vivo covalent binding of [14C]tianeptine metabolites to liver, lung and kidney proteins; this very high dose (360-fold the human therapeutic dose) depleted hepatic glutathione by 60%, and increased SGPT activity 5-fold. Lower doses (0.25 and 0.125 mmol/kg) depleted hepatic glutathione to a lesser extent and did not increase SGPT activity. Pretreatment of hamsters with piperonyl butoxide decreased in vivo covalent binding to liver proteins, and prevented the increase in SGPT activity after administration of tianeptine (0.5 mmol/kg i.p.). In contrast, pretreatment of hamsters with dexamethasone increased in vivo covalent binding to liver proteins, and increased SGPT activity after administration of tianeptine (0.5 mmol/kg i.p.). Nevertheless, liver cell necrosis was histologically absent 24 hr after the administration of tianeptine (0.5 mmol/kg i.p.) to non-pretreated or dexamethasone-pretreated hamsters. In vivo covalent binding to liver proteins also occurred in mice and rats, being increased by 100% in dexamethasone-pretreated animals. In vivo covalent binding to liver proteins was similar in untreated female Dark Agouti rats and in female Sprague-Dawley rats. These results show that tianeptine is transformed in vivo by cytochrome P-450, including glucocorticoid-inducible isoenzymes, into chemically reactive metabolites that covalently bind to tissue proteins. The metabolites, however, exhibit no direct hepatotoxic potential in hamsters below the sublethal dose of 0.5 mmol/kg i.p. The predictive value of this study regarding possible idiosyncratic and immunoallergic reactions in humans remains unknown.

Abstract
Incubation under air of [14C]tianeptine (0.5 mM) with a NADPH-generating system and hamster, mouse or rat liver microsomes resulted in the in vitro covalent binding of [14C]tianeptine metabolites to microsomal proteins. Covalent binding to hamster liver microsomes required NADPH and oxygen; it was decreased in the presence of the cytochrome P-450 inhibitors, carbon monoxide, piperonyl butoxide (4 mM), and SKF 525-A (4 mM) or in the presence of the nucleophile, glutathione (1 or 4 mM). In vitro covalent binding to hamster liver microsomes was not decreased in the presence of quinidine (1 microM), and was similar with microsomes from either female Dark Agouti, or female Sprague-Dawley rats. In contrast, in vitro covalent binding to hamster liver microsomes was decreased in the presence of troleandomycin (0.25 mM), while covalent binding was increased with microsomes from either hamsters, mice or rats pretreated with dexamethasone. Preincubation with IgG antibodies directed against rabbit liver glucocorticoid-inducible cytochrome P-450 3c(P-450 IIIA4) decreased in vitro covalent binding by 53 and 89%, respectively, with microsomes from control hamsters and dexamethasone-pretreated hamsters, and by 60 and 81%, respectively, with microsomes from control and dexamethasone-pretreated rats. We conclude that tianeptine is activated by hamster, mouse and rat liver cytochrome P-450 into a reactive metabolite. Metabolic activation is mediated in part by glucocorticoid-inducible isoenzymes but not by the isoenzyme metabolizing debrisoquine. In vivo studies are reported in the accompanying paper.

Abstract
Incubation of rat liver microsomes with [3H]methoxsalen and NADPH resulted in the covalent binding of a methoxsalen intermediate to proteins comigrating with cytochromes P-450 UT-A, PB-B/D, ISF-G and PCN-E. Binding was increased by pretreatments with phenobarbital, beta-naphthoflavone (beta NF) and dexamethasone. Such pretreatments also increased the loss of CO-binding capacity either after administration of methoxsalen, or after incubation of hepatic microsomes with methoxsalen and NADPH. Immunoprecipitation of the methoxsalen metabolite-protein adducts in phenobarbital-induced microsomes was moderate with anti-UT-A antibodies, but marked with anti-PB-B/D and anti-PCN-E antibodies. Immunoprecipitation was observed also with anti-ISF-G (anti-beta NF-B) antibodies in beta NF-induced microsomes. Methoxsalen (0.25 mM) inhibited markedly the benzphetamine demethylase activity of phenobarbital-induced microsomes and the erythromycin demethylase activity of dexamethasone-induced microsomes. Whereas methoxsalen itself did not produce any binding spectrum, in contrast either in vivo administration of methoxsalen or incubation in vitro with methoxsalen and NADPH resulted in a low-to-high spin conversion of cytochrome P-450 as suggested by the appearance of a spectrum analogous to a type I binding spectrum. This low-to-high spin conversion was apparently due to a methoxsalen intermediate (probably, covalently bound to the protein and preventing partial sixth ligation of the iron). We conclude that suicide inactivation of cytochrome P-450 by methoxsalen is related to the covalent binding of a methoxsalen intermediate to the protein moiety of several cytochrome P-450 isoenzymes (including UT-A, PB-B/D, PCN-E as well as ISF-G and/or beta NF-B).

Abstract
Repeated administration of clarithromycin (0.5 mmol.kg-1 p.o. daily for 5 days) to rats increased markedly the same cytochrome P-450 isoenzyme (P-450p) as that induced by troleandomycin. Clarithromycin, however, did not form cytochrome P-450 Fe(II)-metabolite complexes in vitro with microsomes from clarithromycin-treated rats or in vivo after repeated doses of clarithromycin. Nevertheless, clarithromycin formed cytochrome P-450 Fe(II)-metabolite complexes with microsomes from dexamethasone-treated rats in vitro, or after administration to dexamethasone-treated rats in vivo. Similar effects were observed with roxithromycin. In contrast, erythromycin and troleandomycin formed metabolic complexes when given alone, whereas josamycin, midecamycin and spiramycin did not form complexes, even in dexamethasone-treated rats. We conclude that clarithromycin and roxithromycin induce cytochrome P-450p, but do not form complexes with this isoenzyme, although they do form complexes with other glucocorticoid-inducible isoenzymes. We propose that macrolides may be classified into three groups, those forming complexes when given alone (e.g., erythromycin and troleandomycin), those forming complexes only in glucocorticoid-pretreated rats (clarithromycin and roxithromycin) and those not forming complexes (josamycin, midecamycin and spiramycin).

Abstract
Isaxonine and several other drugs transformed by cytochrome P-450 into reactive metabolites apparently lead to immunoallergic hepatitis in man. Protein epitopes modified by the covalent binding of the metabolites have been proposed as possible targets for the immune response. The purpose of this work was to determine whether covalently bound metabolites are indeed present on hepatocyte plasma membrane proteins. In a first series of experiments, rats were killed 15 or 60 min after administration of [2-14C]isaxonine (0.2 mmol.kg-1 i.p.), and various fractions were prepared from isolated hepatocytes; microsomal contamination of the plasma membrane fraction was 1.2% or less. At 60 min, the amount of isaxonine metabolite covalently bound per mg of protein was similar in plasma membranes (0.42 nmole metabolite.mg protein-1) and in microsomes (0.38); both values were decreased by about 70% in rats pretreated with piperonyl butoxide, an inhibitor of cytochrome P-450. At 15 min, however, covalent binding to plasma membrane proteins (0.06 nmole metabolite.mg protein-1) was only half of that to microsomal proteins (0.12). In a second series of experiments, [2-14C] isaxonine (0.1 mM) was incubated with NADPH, hepatic microsomes and plasma membranes. The reactive isaxonine metabolite became bound extensively to microsomal proteins, but not to plasma membrane proteins. These results show that administration of isaxonine leads to the presence of isaxonine adducts on the proteins of the hepatocyte plasma membrane.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The effects of methoxsalen, a potent inhibitor of cytochrome P-450, on the hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity of chloroform have been determined in mice. Hepatic and renal monooxygenase activities and the in vitro covalent binding of chloroform metabolites to hepatic and renal microsomal proteins were decreased by 20-70% in microsomes from mice killed 2 hr after the administration of methoxsalen (250 mumol.kg-1ip) alone. Administration of methoxsalen (250 mumol.kg-1ip), 30 min before [14C]chloroform (1 ml.kg-1ip), did not modify blood levels of [14C]chloroform (and metabolites) but decreased the in vivo covalent binding of [14C]chloroform metabolites to hepatic and renal proteins 4 hr after the administration of [14C]chloroform. This pretreatment markedly decreased serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase activity, blood urea nitrogen, glucosuria, liver and kidney lesions, and mortality 24 hr after the administration of chloroform (0.125-1.5 ml.kg-1ip). Other cytochrome P-450 inhibitors (SKF 525-A or piperonyl butoxide), given at the same molar dose (250 mumol.kg-1ip), exerted no protective effect. Pretreatment with methoxsalen appears to decrease the metabolic activation of chloroform and essentially prevents its hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity in mice. Methoxsalen may have use as a tool to determine the role of metabolic activation by cytochrome P-450 in the hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity of drugs and chemicals.

Abstract
Methoxsalen, a potent suicide inhibitor of cytochrome P-450 that can be used in humans, might be of value for the prevention of hepatitis in subjects with carbon tetrachloride poisoning. As a preliminary step, we have determined its effects on the hepatotoxicity of carbon tetrachloride in mice. Several monooxygenase activities, the in vitro covalent binding of carbon tetrachloride metabolites to microsomal proteins, and in vitro microsomal lipid peroxidation initiated by carbon tetrachloride metabolites were decreased by 60-90% in microsomes from mice killed 2 hr after the administration of methoxsalen (250 mumol X kg-1); microsomal lipid peroxidation mediated by endogenous iron and NADPH was not modified. Administration of methoxsalen (250 mumol X kg-1) 30 min before carbon tetrachloride (0.1 ml X kg-1) decreased both the in vivo formation of conjugated dienes in microsomal lipids and the in vivo covalent binding of carbon tetrachloride metabolites to lipids and proteins. This pretreatment completely prevented the hepatotoxicity of carbon tetrachloride. Other cytochrome P-450 inhibitors (cimetidine, SKF 525-A or piperonyl butoxide) given at this low molar dose (250 mumol X kg-1) exerted no protective effect. Methoxsalen (500 mumol X kg-1) was also effective, but only partially, when given 30 min after carbon tetrachloride (0.025 ml X kg-1). We conclude that pretreatment with methoxsalen decreases the metabolic activation of carbon tetrachloride, and completely prevents its hepatotoxicity in mice. Post-treatment with methoxsalen must be given early and is only partially effective in mice.

Abstract
The effects of psoralen derivatives on cytochrome P-450 have been studied in human liver microsomes. CO-binding cytochrome P-450 was decreased by 33% after 10 min of incubation with 1.5 mM EDTA, an NADPH-regenerating system and 20 microM methoxsalen (8-methoxypsoralen). No destruction of cytochrome P-450 was observed when either NADPH or methoxsalen was omitted. A similar (27%) decrease in CO-binding required a 100-times higher concentration of allylisopropylacetamide (2 mM). The activities of 7-ethoxycoumarin deethylase and benzo(a)pyrene hydroxylase were decreased by about 50% in the presence of 12.5 microM methoxsalen. At this low concentration, neither cimetidine nor SKF 525-A or piperonyl butoxide had any significant inhibitory effect. Monooxygenase activities were also decreased in the presence of 12.5 microM bergapten (5-methoxypsoralen) or 12.5 microM psoralen, but not with 12.5 microM trioxsalen (trimethylpsoralen). CO-binding cytochrome P-450 was not decreased after 10 min of incubation with 1.5 mM EDTA, an NADPH-regenerating system and 20 microM trioxsalen. We conclude that methoxsalen is an extremely potent suicide inhibitor of cytochrome P-450 in human liver microsomes. Bergapten and psoralen are also inhibitory whereas trioxsalen has little effects. In the latter derivative, a methyl group is attached on the furan ring and may hinder its metabolic activation and the inactivation of cytochrome P-450.

Abstract
Incubation of [11-14C]amineptine (1 mM) with an NADPH-generating system and hamster liver microsomes resulted in the in vitro covalent binding of an amineptine metabolite to microsomal proteins; this binding was decreased by 41-71% in the presence of cysteine, lysine, glycine or glutathione (0.5 mM). An inverse relationship was found between the concentration of glutathione in the incubation mixture (0.25-4 mM) and the extent of covalent binding in vitro, which became undetectable at concentrations of glutathione of 2 mM and higher. Administration of [11-14C]amineptine (300 mg/kg-1 i.p.) to hamsters pretreated with phorone (500 mg/kg i.p.) resulted in the in vivo covalent binding of an amineptine metabolite to hepatic proteins. This binding was increased by phenobarbital-pretreatment and decreased by piperonyl butoxide-pretreatment. After various doses of phorone (150-500 mg/kg), an inverse relationship was found between hepatic glutathione content and in vivo covalent binding. Administration of amineptine alone (300 mg/kg i.p.) depleted hepatic glutathione by 16% only; in these animals, in vivo covalent binding was undetectable from background. Amineptine (300 mg/kg i.p.) did not produce hepatic necrosis, even in hamsters pretreated with phorone and/or phenobarbital. We conclude that physiologic concentrations of glutathione essentially prevent the in vivo covalent binding of an amineptine metabolite to hepatic proteins, and that this binding does not produce liver cell necrosis in hamsters.

Abstract
Incubation of [14C]amineptine (1 mM) with hamster liver microsomes resulted in the irreversible binding of an amineptine metabolite to microsomal proteins. Covalent binding measured in the presence of various concentrations of amineptine (0.0625-1 mM) followed Michaelis-Menten kinetics. Pretreatment with phenobarbital increased not only the Vmax, but also the Km, for this binding. Covalent binding required NADPH and molecular oxygen and was decreased when the incubation was made in the presence of inhibitors of cytochrome P-450 such as piperonyl butoxide (4 mM), SKF 525-A (4 mM) or carbon monoxide (80:20 CO-O2 atmosphere). In contrast, binding was increased when microsomes from untreated hamsters were incubated in the presence of 0.5 mM 1,1,1-trichloropropene 2,3-oxide, an inhibitor of epoxide hydrolase. Metabolic activation also occurred in kidney microsomes. In vitro covalent binding to kidney microsomal proteins required NADPH and was decreased by piperonyl butoxide (4 mM) but was not increased by pretreatment with phenobarbital. We conclude that amineptine is activated by hamster liver and kidney microsomes into a chemically reactive metabolite that covalently binds to microsomal proteins.

Abstract
We have reported previously that methoxsalen is a suicide substrate for cytochrome P-450. We now report its effects on the metabolism and toxicity of acetaminophen in mice. Intragastric administration of methoxsalen (125 mumol X kg-1), 30 min before that of acetaminophen (600 mg X kg-1 i.p.), decreased the formation of the mercapturate and cysteine conjugates of acetaminophen, the depletion of glutathione and the in vivo covalent binding of an acetaminophen metabolite to hepatic proteins and prevented the increase in serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase activity, the appearance of liver lesions and mortality. Methoxsalen (250 mumol X kg-1) also afforded complete protection when given intragastrically 2 hr after acetaminophen (600 mg X kg-1 i.p.). At that time, methoxsalen still decreased in vivo covalent binding measured per whole liver, and permitted a faster recovery of hepatic glutathione. Methoxsalen (180 mumol X kg-1) and N-acetylcysteine (919 mumol X kg-1) exerted additive protective effects when given concomitantly 2 hr after acetaminophen. We conclude that administration of methoxsalen decreases the metabolic activation and the hepatotoxicity of acetaminophen in mice.

Abstract
8-Methoxypsoralen has been shown to both inactivate and induce microsomal enzymes. We report here the effects of other psoralen derivatives in rats. CO-binding cytochrome P-450 decreased when hepatic microsomes were incubated for 10 min with an NADPH-generating system and 8-methoxypsoralen, 5-methoxypsoralen or psoralen (400 microM), but remained unchanged with trioxsalen (400 microM). The destruction of cytochrome P-450 with the former derivatives required NADPH. It was greater with microsomes from phenobarbital-pretreated rats. Monooxygenase activities were decreased by 30 to 60% when 8-methoxypsoralen, 5-methoxypsoralen or psoralen (10 or 25 microM) were added to the incubation mixtures, but remained unchanged upon addition of trioxsalen (10 or 25 microM). In vivo, monooxygenase activities were decreased 4 hr after the administration of a single dose of 8-methoxypsoralen, 5-methoxypsoralen or psoralen (125 mumol X kg-1 p.o.) but remained unchanged after trioxsalen (125 mumol X kg-1 p.o.). During repeated administration of 8-methoxypsoralen or 5-methoxypsoralen (125 mumol X kg-1 p.o. for 3 or 4 days), there was evidence for both induction and inactivation of drug-metabolizing enzymes; monooxygenase activities were high or normal late after a preceding dose, but fell again to normal or low values, respectively, early after a further dose. With psoralen, there was only inactivation, and monooxygenase activities tended to remain low throughout. Monooxygenase activities remained normal with trioxsalen. We conclude that 5-methoxypsoralen, like 8-methoxypsoralen, both inactivates and induces microsomal enzymes. In contrast, psoralen only inactivates them, whereas trioxsalen shows little effects.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Administration of amiodarone hydrochloride (50-150 mg/kg i.p. daily) to rats, mice or hamsters resulted in the in vivo formation of a cytochrome P-450Fe(II)-amiodarone metabolite complex absorbing at 453 nm, unable to bind CO and biologically inactive. In rats, the amount of complex present in hepatic microsomes was small 24 hr after administration of a single dose of amiodarone (100 mg/kg i.p.) but was increased 2.5-times by pretreatment with phenobarbital and 8-times by pretreatment with dexamethasone phosphate. In addition, the complex increased linearly with time as the doses of amiodarone were repeated daily. When both enhancing factors were combined (treatment for 3 days with both dexamethasone and amiodarone), the amount of complex present in liver microsomes reached 0.78 nmol/mg protein or 40% of total cytochrome P-450 in rats. In these rats, in vitro disruption of the complex with potassium ferricyanide suppressed its Soret peak at 453 nm, increased by 70% the CO-binding spectrum of dithionite-reduced microsomes, and restored several monooxygenase activities. The 453 nm-absorbing complex was also formed in vitro upon incubation of amiodarone or N-desethylamiodarone with NADPH, EDTA and microsomes from dexamethasone-treated rats. The formation of the complex was smaller with microsomes from phenobarbital-treated rats and was not detected with microsomes from control rats. We conclude that amiodarone forms an inactive cytochrome P-450Fe(II)-metabolite complex in rats, mice and hamsters.

Abstract
Although acetaminophen is widely used in pregnant women, the effects of pregnancy on its hepatotoxicity remain unknown. We assessed these effects in pregnant mice (17-18 days of gestation). The hepatotoxicity of acetaminophen (300-400 mg X kg-1 i.p.) was increased markedly in pregnant mice, as judged by increased serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase activity, higher incidence of liver necrosis and greater mortality. In vitro, acetaminophen sulfotransferase activity was increased by 47% in pregnant mice, but acetaminophen glucuronosyltransferase activity was decreased by 54%; the metabolic activation of acetaminophen to covalently bound metabolites was unchanged. Glutathione S-transferase activities were decreased slightly. In vivo, after administration of acetaminophen (300 mg X kg-1 i.p.), the 24-hr urinary excretion of the sulfate conjugate was increased (from 12% of the recovered dose in nonpregnant mice to 21% in pregnant mice), that of the glucuronide was decreased (from 61 to 52%), whereas those of the cysteine and mercapturic acid conjugates and that of acetaminophen were unchanged. Finally, the plasma clearance and the apparent volume of distribution of acetaminophen (both expressed per body weight) remained unchanged. Similarly, in vivo covalent binding to hepatic proteins 4 hr after administration of acetaminophen (300 and 400 mg X kg-1 i.p.) remained unchanged as were in vivo indexes of lipid peroxidation. In contrast, liver glutathione concentration, albeit initially normal, fell to much lower levels after administration of acetaminophen (200-400 mg X kg-1 i.p.) or diethylmaleate (0.5 ml X kg-1 i.p.) in pregnant mice, and recovered more slowly thereafter.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Administration of methoxsalen (50 mumol X kg-1 i.p.) increased 4-fold the hexobarbital sleeping time in rats; at this low dose, SKF 525-A, piperonyl butoxide and cimetidine had little or no effect. In vitro, the concentration of methoxsalen inhibiting by 50% monooxygenase activities ranged from 10 microM (for benzo(a)-pyrene and hexobarbital hydroxylases] to 25 microM for 7-ethoxy-coumarin deethylase and aminopyrine demethylase); these values were in the range of those observed with SKF 525-A (1-50 microM) or piperonyl butoxide (10-100 microM) but much lower than those for cimetidine (100-500 microM). Methoxsalen (25-1000 microM) decreased cytochrome P-450 in vitro, in the presence of EDTA; this effect required NADPH and oxygen, was decreased by piperonyl butoxide and was increased by phenobarbital pretreatment. Similarly, administration of methoxsalen (125 mumol X kg-1 i.p.) decreased cytochrome P-450 and monooxygenase activities in vivo; the decrease in cytochrome P-450 was enhanced by phenobarbital pretreatment and was prevented by piperonyl butoxide. There was no evidence for lipid peroxidation, denaturation into cytochrome P-420, formation of cytochrome P-450-metabolite complexes, destruction of heme or formation of green pigments. In contrast, a reactive metabolite of methoxsalen covalently bound to microsomal proteins; covalent binding required NADPH and oxygen, was decreased by piperonyl butoxide and was increased by phenobarbital pretreatment. We conclude that methoxsalen is activated into a metabolite which destroys cytochrome P-450.

Abstract
The possibility of a relationship between hepatic and renal cytochrome P-450 contents was assessed in rats with liver disease. In rats killed 3 days after two-thirds hepatectomy (a model for hepatocellular insufficiency), the total microsomal cytochrome P-450 content of the whole liver was decreased by 60% as compared to that in control rats; renal cytochrome P-450 was increased by 30% while the 7-ethoxycoumarin deethylase activity of kidney microsomes was increased by 80%. In rats killed 7 days after bile duct ligation (a model for cholestasis) or 35 days after bile duct ligation (a model for biliary cirrhosis), hepatic cytochrome P-450 was decreased by 60% and 45%, respectively, while renal cytochrome P-450 content was increased by 50% and 150%, respectively. In contrast, in rats killed 15 days after the last dose of carbon tetrachloride, 1.3 ml/kg twice weekly for 3 months (a model for post-necrotic cirrhosis), both hepatic and renal cytochrome P-450 contents remained unchanged. Phenobarbital (80 mg/kg daily for 3 days) was a poor inducer of renal cytochrome P-450 in sham-operated rats but became a potent inducer of renal cytochrome P-450 in rats with two-thirds hepatectomy. We conclude that renal cytochrome P-450 is increased in three models in which hepatic cytochrome P-450 contents are decreased (two-thirds hepatectomy, cholestasis and biliary cirrhosis), but remains unchanged in a model of severe liver pathology, in which hepatic cytochrome P-450 content is not modified (late, post-necrotic cirrhosis). The hypothetical role of endogenous inducer(s) is discussed.

Abstract
Liver histology was normal 24 h after the administration of trichloroethylene (1 ml . kg-1) in rats. It was normal, or showed necrosis of a few hepatocytes, after the administration of carbon tetrachloride (64 microliters . kg-1). In rats receiving both solvents, there was extensive centrilobular necrosis. In vitro, trichloroethylene did not initiate lipid peroxidation but potentiated that initiated by carbon tetrachloride; a similar potentiating effect was observed for a wide range of trichloroethylene concentrations (0.19-12 mM). In vivo, a wide range of trichloroethylene doses (0.064-1 ml . kg-1) similarly potentiated the hepatotoxicity of carbon tetrachloride. Administration of trichloroethylene (1 ml . kg-1), 5 h earlier, increased carbon tetrachloride-induced lipid peroxidation in vitro, and increased the hepatotoxicity of a subsequent dose of carbon tetrachloride (64 microliters . kg-1). Previous administration of carbon tetrachloride failed to modify lipid peroxidation and to increase the hepatotoxicity of trichloroethylene. We conclude that trichloroethylene potentiates the hepatotoxicity of carbon tetrachloride, possibly by increasing carbon tetrachloride-induced lipid peroxidation.

Abstract
Erythromycin, 0.3 mM, elicited a small reverse type I binding spectrum with, and was slowly demethylated by, cytochrome P-450 from control rats. No absorption peak at 456 nm could be detected upon incubation of 0.3 mM erythromycin with NADPH and control microsomes. No complex formed in vivo could be detected in microsomes isolated 2 hr after a single dose of erythromycin, 2 mmol.kg-1 p.o. Repeated administration of erythromycin, 2 mmol.kg-1 p.o. daily for 4 days increased hepatic microsomal protein concentration, NADPH-cytochrome c reductase activity, the amplitude of the reverse type I binding spectrum of erythromycin and erythromycin demethylase activity. Microsomes isolated from rats treated with repeated doses of erythromycin exhibited a marked absorption peak at 456 nm. The absorption at 456 nm was further increased upon incubation with erythromycin and NADPH. It disappeared upon addition of 50 muM potassium ferricyanide. Disruption of the complex with potassium ferricyanide markedly increased the CO-binding capacity of dithionite-reduced microsomes. It further increased the amplitude of the reverse type I binding spectrum of erythromycin and erythromycin demethylase activity and increased ethylmorphine N-demethylase and benzo[a]pyrene hydroxylase activities. It is concluded that erythromycin induces its own transformation into a metabolite which forms a inactive 456-nm absorbing complex with the iron (II) of cytochrome P-450.

Abstract
Acetaminophen and bromobenzene are transformed in the liver into chemically reactive metabolites that may either bind to glutathione and be detoxified or bind to hepatic proteins and produce liver cell necrosis. Fasting for 42 hr (a) decreased hepatic glutathione concentration, (b) increased the amount of chemically reactive metabolite irreversibly bound to hepatic proteins after administration of 3H-acetaminophen or 14C-bromobenzene, and (c) increased the hepatotoxicity of acetaminophen or bromobenzene. In rats fasted for various lengths of time, there was an inverse relationship between the concentration of glutathione in the liver and the activity of serum glutamic pyruvic transaminases after administration of acetaminophen or bromobenzene. In vitro, there was an inverse relationship between the concentration of glutathione in the incubate and the amount of chemically reactive metabolite bound to microsomal proteins after incubation of 3H-acetaminophen or 14C-bromobenzene with hepatic microsomes. It is concluded that fasting may decrease the inactivation of chemically reactive metabolites by glutathione, increase their binding to hepatic proteins, and enhance the hepatotoxicity of drugs transformed into chemically reactive metabolites that are detoxified by binding to glutathione.
