Effects of TCDD and flavonoids on ethoxyresorufin deethylase in Hepa I cells and MCF-7 human breast cancer cells were examined. TCDD treatment have resulted in the stimulation of ethoxyresorufin deethylase activity based on fluorometry in Hepa I in dose and time dependent manner. 0.1 nM TCDD showed maximal stimulation of ethoxyresorufin deethylase activity and 24 hour treatment also showed maximal stimulation of ethoxyresorufin deethylase activity. In MCF-7 human breast cancer cells, untreated cells showed high basal level of ethoxyresorufin deethylase activity. TCDD treatment to MCF-7 cells resulted minor stimulation of ethoxyresorufin deethylase activity compared to that in Hepa I cells. Various chemicals were tested for ethoxyresorufin deethylase activity in both cell lines. Flavonoids, such as quercetin showed an inhibition of ethoxyresorufin deethylase activity that is stimulated with TCDD or 3-Methylcholanthrene. Estrogen and estrogen metabolites such as 16a-estriol also affects the ethoxyresorufin deethylase activity in MCF-7 cells.

Effects of nitric oxide and hypoxia on ethoxyresorufin deethylase in Hepa I cells and MCF-7 human breast cancer cells were examined. TCDD treatment have resulted in the stimulation of ethoxyresorufin deethylase activity based on fluorometry in Hepa I in dose and time dependent manner. 0.1 nM TCDD showed maximal stimulation of ethoxyresorufin deethylase activity and 24 hour treatment also showed maximal stimulation of ethoxyresorufin deethylase activity. In MCF-7 human breast cancer cells, untreated cells showed high basal level of ethoxyresorufin deethylase activity. TCDD treatment to MCF-7 cells resulted minor stimulation of ethoxyresorufin deethylase activity compared to that in Hepa I cells. Nitric oxide and hypoxia inhibit TCDD effects on ethoxyresorufin deethylase activity in both cell lines. And also flavonoids, such as quercetin showed an inhibition of ethoxyresorufin deethylase activity that is stimulated with TCDD or 3-Methylcholanthrene. Estrogen and estrogen metabolite such as 16 a-estriol and 2-hydroxyestradiol also affects the ethoxyresorufin deethylase activity in MCF-7 cells.

유기주석화합물인 tributyltin chloride (TBTC), tributyltin oxide (TBTO)와 triphenyltin chloride (TPTC)를 넙치 간장으로 만든 미크로좀에 in vitro적으로 노출시켜서 이들 화합물의 대사에 관여하는 mixed function oxidase (MFO) 중 cytochrome P450 (CYP) 농도와 7-ethoxyresorufin deethylase (EROD) 활성의 변화를 조사하였으며, 또한 in vivo 실험에서는 TPTC를 넙치에게 복강주사(7.5 mg $kg^{-1}$ BW)하여 간장의 MFO (CYP농도, NADPH cytochrome c 환원효소 활성, NADH chtochrome b5 환원 효소 활성, EROD 활성) 반응을 경시적으로 조사하였다. 그 결과, in vitro에서는 TBTC, TBTO 및 TPTC가 모두 CYP 농도와 EROD 활성을 저해하였으며, 저해력은 TPTC가 가장 컸고 이어서 TBTO, TBTC의 순이었다. 유기주석화합물의 노출농도와 노출시간과 비례하면서 저해정도가 커졌으며, 특히 EROD활성의 저해는 노출농도에 크게 의존적이었다. 그리고 in vivo실험에서도 유기주석 화합물은 CYP농도, NADPH cytochrome c 환원효소 활성, NADH cytochrome b5 환원효소 활성, EROD 활성을 억제하였다. EROD 활성은 오염물질에 의한 반응이 민감하고 재현성도 있어 바람직한 측정지표로 이용될 수가 있을 것이다.

Flavonoids are polyphenols composed of two aromatic rings (A, B) and a heterocyclic ring (C). In order to determine the effects of the number of hydroxyl groups in the B-ring of the flavonoids on human cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1 family enzymes, we evaluated the inhibition of CYP1A-dependent 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylation activity by chrysin, apigenin and luteolin, using bacterial membranes that co-express human CYP1A1, CYP1A2, or CYP1B1 with human NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase. Chrysin, which possesses no hydroxyl groups in its B-ring, exhibited the most pronounced inhibitory effects on CYP1A2-dependent EROD activity, followed by apigenin and luteolin. On the contrary, CYP1A1-mediated EROD activity was most potently inhibited by luteolin, which is characterized by two hydroxyl groups in its B-ring, followed by apigenin and chrysin. However, all of the 5,7-dihydroxyflavones were determined to similarly inhibit CYP1B1 activity. Chrysin, apigenin, and luteolin exhibited a mixed-type mode of inhibition with regard to CYP1A2, CYP1B1, and CYP1A1, with apparent Ki values of 2.4, 0.5, and 2.0 ${\mu}M$, respectively. These findings suggested that the number of hydroxyl groups in the B-ring of 5,7-dihydroxyflavone might have some influence on the degree to which CYP1A enzymes were inhibited, but not on the degree to which CYP1B1 enzymes were inhibited.

Malassezia globosa is a common pathogenic fungus that causes skin diseases including dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis in humans. Analysis of its genome identified a gene (MGL_1677) coding for a putative NADPH-P450 reductase (NPR) to support the fungal cytochrome P450 enzymes. The heterologously expressed recombinant M. globosa NPR protein was purified, and its functional features were characterized. The purified protein generated a single band on SDS-PAGE at 80.74 kDa and had an absorption maximum at 452 nm, indicating its possible function as an oxidized flavin cofactor. It evidenced NADPH-dependent reducing activity for cytochrome c or nitroblue tetrazolium. Human P450 1A2 and 2A6 were able to successfully catalyze the O-deethylation of 7-ethoxyresorufin and the 7-hydroxylation of coumarin, respectively, with the support of the purified NPR. These results demonstrate that purified NPR is an orthologous reductase protein that supports cytochrome P450 enzymes in M. globosa.

비이온성 계면활성제로 많이 쓰이는 알킬페놀류의 하나인 노닐페놀(nonylphenol)이 해산어류에게 미치는 영향을 조사하려고 주요 양식어종인 조피볼락에게 복강주사로 10 및 25 mg $kg^{-1}$을 1회 투여하였다. 한편 용제인 DMSO만을 주사한 sham구를 설정하여 비교하였다. 주사 후 7일간 간중량지수(hepatosomatic index)의 변화를 조사하였고, 또한 간장 미크로좀 중 대표적인 약물대사효소인 cytochrome P450 (CYP) 농도와 ethoxyresorufin deethylase (EROD) 활성의 변화도 측정하였다. 그 결과, 고농도(25 mg $kg^{-1}$) 주사구에서는 HSl가 감소하였는데, 이것은 NP가 간장에 독성이 있다는 것을 보여준다. 한편, 약물대사효소 중 CYP 농도는 유도되었지만 EROD 활성은 저해되는 경향을 보였다. 이번에 주사한 농도는 우리나라 연근해 해수 중의 NP 농도에 비해 매우 높은 수준이지만, 본 실험에서는 NP가 조피볼락에 게간장 독성을 보였고, 간장의 약물대사효소에도 영향을 미친다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

The enzymatic properties for NADPH-P450 reductase domain of a fusion protein between human cytochrome P450 1A1 and rat NADPH-P450 reductase expressed in Escherichia coli were investigated. The fusion plasmid pCW/1A1OR-expressed E. coli membrane showed high NADPH-cytochrome c reductase activity ($830.1\pm 85.8 nmol\cdot min^{-1}\cdot mg protein^{-1}$), while pCW control vector and P 450 1A1 expression vector pCW/1A1 showed relatively quite low activity ($4.35\pm 0.49, 3.27\pm 0.50 nmol\cdot min^{-1}\cdot mg protein^{-1}$, respectively). The kinetic curves for NADPH-cytochrome c reductase followed typical Michaelis-Menten kinetics. The $K_{max}$ and $V_{max}$ for NADPH-dependent reductase activity were $8.24\pm 2.61\mu $and $817.9\pm 60.8 nmol\cdot min^{-1}\cdot mg protein^{-1}$, respectively, whereas those for cytochrome c-dependent reductase activity were $19.97\pm 2.86\mu M$ and $1303.5\pm 67.1 nmol\cdot min^{-1}\cdot mg protein^{-1}$. The reductase activities were also compared with those of rat, porcine and human liver microsomes. The activity of pCW/ 1A1OR-expressed E. coli membrane was 15.2-fold higher than that of rat liver microsome. Treatment with benzo(a)pyrene, 7-ethoxyresorufin and $\alpha$-naphthofiavone which are known as specific substrates or inhibitor for human P450 1A1 increased NADPH-cytochrome c reductase activity of fusion protein in E. coli membrane dose-dependently. These results demonstrate that the membrane topology of fused enzyme may be important for activity of its NADPH-P450 reductase domain.

Polysaccharides from the starfish Asterina pectinifera were assessed in vitro for their chemopreventive potential in human breast cancer. The polysaccharides from A. pectinifera inhibited cell proliferation in the estrogen receptor-positive (MCF-7) and estrogen receptor-negative (MDA-MB-231) human breast carcinoma cell lines. In addition, the polysaccharides were found to be an inhibitor of cytochrome P450 1A1-mediated ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase activity, and caused a dose-dependent inhibition of aromatase activity in microsomes isolated from a human placenta. There was a significant reduction in the ornithine decarboxylase activity to 30.7% of the control in the polysaccharide-treated MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Therefore, the polysaccharides from A. pectinifera merit further investigation with respect to breast cancer chemoprevention.

Chemopreventive and cytotoxic effect of genistein against human breast cancer cell lines was investigated. Genistein inhibited cell proliferation in estrogen receptor-positive (MCF-7) and estrogen receptor-negative (MDA-MB-231) human breast carcinoma cell lines. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A1-mediated ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) activity was inhibited by genistein in a concentrationdependent manner. Genistein significantly inhibited 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced cyclooxy-genase-2 activity and protein expression at the concentrations of 10 (p < 0.05), 25 (p < 0.05) and 50 mM (p < 0.01). In addition, ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity was reduced to 53.8 % of the control after 6 h treatment with 50 mM genistein in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. These results suggest that genistein could be of therapeutic value in preventing human breast cancer.
