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.

목적: 저산소증은 방사선 감수성을 현저히 감소시키며, 이에 대한 적응 반응에서 hypoxia-inducible factor 1 $\alpha$(HIF-1 u$\alpha$가 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. HIF-1 $\alpha$의 발현과 방사선 감수성과의 상관 관계를 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 쥐의 간암 세포주인 hepalclc7 세포와 HIF-1 $\beta$가 결손되어 HIF-1 $\alpha$의 기능이 억제된 hepaIC4 세포를 사용했다 저산소 유사 물질인 desferrioxamine (DFX)을 전처치하고 6시간 뒤에 방사선조사를 하여 western blot으로 HIF-1 $\alpha$ 발현을 조사하였다. Apoptosis는 DNA 분절화, propidium iodide 핵염색, 그리고 apoptotic cell death detection ELISA kit를 이용하였다. MTT assay법으로 방사선 감수성을 측정하고 SF2$_{2}$ SF$_{8}$, 그리고 mean inactivation dose (MID)를 산출하여 통계적 분석을 하였다. 결과: Hepalclc7 세포에서는 DFX 전처치를 한 경우 방사선에 의해 HIF-1 $\alpha$의 발현이 증가했으나, hepalC4 세포 주에서는 변화가 없었다 Hepa1C4 세포의 방사선 감수성은 DFX처리에 따른 영향이 없었으나 hepalclc7 세포의 방사선 감수성은 DFX를 전처치했을 때 유의하게 감소하였다. 결론: 저산소 유사 물질인 DFX에 의해 유도된 HIF-1 $\alpha$가 쥐의 간암 세포주에서 apoptosis와 방사선 감수성을 감소시켰다 이러한 결과는 종괴내의 저산소 세포에서 방사선에 의해 HIF-1 $\alpha$가 유도되고 이로 인해 저산소 세포에서 방사선 감수성을 저하시키는 것으로 생각되었다.

In order to understand the mechanism of action of TCDD, we have examined the effect of COX-inhibitors on cyplal activity. We observed the effect of COX-inhibitor on EROD activity in C57BL/6 mouse in vivo. And we also evaluated the effect of COX-inhibitors on cyplal mRNA, mouse cyp1a1 promoter activity and EROD activity in Hepa cell.(omitted)

Induction of phase II enzymes is a major mechanism of chemoprevention. The induction levels of quinone reductase (QR) activity in cultured murine hepatoma (Hepa 1c1c7) cells by 80%-methanol extracts of traditional medicinal plants were measured. Among the tested 81 plants, the extracts of Aralia continentalis, Magnolia obovata, and Viscum album were found to induce QR activities over 250%. The maximum induction levels obtained were 401.9%, 270.5%, and 301.8% by treatments of the extracts of A. continentalis $(318\;{\mu}g/ml)$, M. obovata $(53.8\;{\mu}g/ml)$ and V. album $(80.6\;{\mu}g/ml)$, respectively. These QR induction activities were more potent than those of the known QR inducers, t-butylhydroquinone (170.1%) and ${\beta}-naphthoflavone$ (320.0%).

The aim of this study was to investigate the inhibitory effects of rutaecarpine on DNA strand breaks and apoptosis induced by hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) in murine Hepa-1c1c7 cells. Oxidative DNA damage was estimated by nuclear condensation assessment, fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis, and Comet assay. Rutaecarpine inhibited cell death induced by $500{\mu}M$ $H_2O_2$, as assessed by 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) staining. Treatment with rutaecarpine reduced the number of DNA strand breaks induced by $H_2O_2$, as assessed by DAPI staining and Comet assay, and increased quinone reductase, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, and pAkt protein levels, as assessed by western blotting.

Cytochrome P4503A4(CYP3A4) is the most abundnat CYPs in human liver, comparising approximately 30% of the total liver CYPs contents ans is involbed in the metabolism of more than 60% of currently used therapeutic drugs. The expression of CYP3A4 is induced by a variety of structurally unrelated xonobiotics including the antibiotic rifampicin and endogenous hormones, and might be mediated through steroid and xenobiotic receptor(SXR) system. The molecular mechanisms underlying regulation of CYP3A4 gene expression hae not been understood. In order to gain the insight of the molecular mechanism of CYP3A4 gene expression, study has been undertaken to investigate if the histone deacelylation is involved in the regulation of CYP3A4 gene expression by proximal promoter or not. Also SXR was investigated to see if they were involved in the regulation of CYP3A4 proximal promoter activity. HepG2 or Hena-I cells were transfected with a plasmid containing~1kb of the CYP3A4 proximal promoter region (-863 to +64bp) cloned in front of a reporter gene, luciferase, in the presence or absence of SXR or hER. Transfected cells were treated with CYP3A4 inducers such as rifampicin, PCN and RU 486, or with estradiol, in order to exmine to regulation of CYP3A4 gene expression in the presence or absence of trichostatin A (TSA). In HepG2 cells, CYP3A4 inducers and estradiol increased significantly the luciferase activity by CYP3A4 proximal promoter, only when TSA was co-treated after SXR cotransfection. In the case of Hepa-I cells CYP3A4 inducers and estradiol incressed modestly the luciferase activity when TSA was co-treated, but this increment was not enhanced by SXR cotransfection in contrast to HepG2 cells. Taken together, these results indicated that the inhibition of histone deacetylation was required to SXR-mediated increase in CYP3A4 proximal promoter region when rifampicin, or PCN was treated. Futher a trans-activation by SXR may demand other species-specific transcription factors.

In order to understand the mechanism of action of TCDD, we have examined the effect of COX-inhibitors on cyp1a1 activity. We observed the effect of COX-inhibitor on EROD activity in C57BL/6 mouse in vovo. And we also evaluated the effect of COX-inhibitors on cyp1a1 mRNA, mouse cyp1a1 promoter activity and EROD activity in Hepa cell. When Aspirin were pretreated with 3MC in vivo, the EROD activity that was stimulated by 3MC was inhibited. And Pretreatment of Aspirin, Celecoxib, Nimesulide and other several Cox-inhibitors in vitro, inhibited the TCDD stimulated EROD activity and Luciferase acitivity. In case of cyp1a1 mRNA level, Nimesulide and SB100 were able to decrease cyp1a1 mRNA that was stimulated by TCDD, but other tested COX-inhibitors were not decrease. We don't know this different result exactly. For the action of Cox-inhibitors on the Cyp1a1, it seems to be important to do pretreatment of these chemicals as apposed to TCDD. In this study, thus, we have suggested that COX-inhibitors such as aspirin, celecoxib, Nimesulide and other several Cox-inhibitors decrease the TCDD induced Cyp1a1.
