In order to understand the mechanism of the regulation of CYPIAI gene expression and ethoxy-resorufin deethylase (EROD) activity in ex vivo system, we have studied the action of TCDD and 3MC in theisolated perfused male rat liver. CYPIAI myNA level and EROD activity were measured in rat liver that wasisolated and perfused with va.ious chemicals such as 2,3,7,8-tet.achlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), 3-methyl-cholanthrene (3MC), $17{\beta}$-est.adios ($E_2$), morin. TCDD or 3MC alone perfusion into male rat liver resulted in increase of CYPIAI mRNA level and the magnitude of stimulation was one and half times higher with TCDD treatment than 3MC treatment. However $E_2$ perfusion into male rat liver showed slight stimulation of CYPIAI mRNA level. When $10_{-8}$ M $E_2$ was perfused concomitantly with either $10_{-9}$ M TCDD or $10_{-9}$ M 3MC, stimulated CYPIAI mRNA by either TCDD or 3MC was inhibited. Morin was examined for its effects on CYPIAI mRNA level and result was similar to that was observed with estrogen except that morin alone did not change the level of CYPIAI mRNA. EROD activity was also stimulated with either TCDD or 3MC perfusion, and the magnitude of EROD stiumlation was similar to that of CYPIAI mRNA stimulation in response to TCDD or 3MC perfusion. This data is different from the data that we have obtained with female rat liver. Concomitant perfusion either $E_2$ or morin with TCDD or 3MC inhibited 3MC perFusion or TCDD perfusion stimulated EROD activity. These data confirm the hypothesis that TCDD and 3MC might act through the same mechanism of action on the regulation of CYPIAI gene expression in male rat liver.

Recent industrial society has human widely exposed to PAHs that are comming from the incomplete combustion of organic material as widespread environmental contaminants. Biological activities of PAHs are not known although PAHs are considered as carcinogens. PAHs in the mammalian cells affect CYP 1A1 gene expression as well as other phase II drug metabolizing enzymes as UDPGT, NMOR etc. The mechanism of action of PAHs has been studied extensively, however it is not clear how PAHs turn on CYPIAI in human breast cancer.

In mammalian, cytochrome P4501A1 (CYP1A1) is very important for metabolism of xenobiotics such as PAHs(Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon) and heterocyclic amine, and it is induced by environmental contaminants such as PAHs, TCDD(2,3,7,8-tetrchlorodibenzo-p-dioxin) and 3-MC (3-methylcholanthrene). In fish, like mammalian, when it is exposed to environmental contaminants, they cause specific and sensitive induction of CYP1A. Therefore, induction of CYP1A in fish and mammalian is widely used as a biomarker for exposure of environmental contaminants. In this study, to compare the function of Cyp1a1 in fish with it in mammalian, we have used rainbow trout(Oncorhynchys mykiss) hepatoma cells (RTH-149) and mouse hepatocyte (Hepa-I). in order to examine induction of Cyp1a1 by TCDD, we have used the bioassay system. We examined effects of TCDD on the Cyp1a1-luciferase reporter gene activity, 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase(EROD) activity and Cypa mRNA level.

The genomic DNA was prepared from trout liver which was treated with 3-methycholanthrene, and cloned into lambda EMBL3 at BamHl site. The genomic library was constructed via infections of these recombinant phages into E. coli K802, and screened by the most $5^I$-portion of trout CYP1A1 cDNA. After the screening of $10^9$ clones of the amplified library, 12 positive clones were isolated, and subjected to further screenings. The results of southern blot hybridization of genomic DNA prepared from the positive clone showed the presence of a single gene of CYP1A1, and 3.5 Kb PstI fragment that hybridizes with the most $5^I$-region DNA of CYP1A1 cDNA. The restriction map of PstI fragment was determined by the restriction digestion with various enzymes. The nucleotide sequence of the upstream genomic DNA of CYPIAI was determined by DNA sequencing of exonuclease III unidirectionally deleted PstI fragment DNA using $[^{35}/S]$dATP. This paper presented the upstream genomic DNA of CYP1A1 contained a part of coding region which was about 351 base pairs (from ATG to PstI site at 3563).
