Abstract

N-nitrosoethylurea (NEU) -induced changes of lipid peroxide content, aldehyde metabolic enzyme activities and antioxidant enzyme activities were examined in cultured rat liver cell. Aldehyde metabolic enzymes tested in this investigation were alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase. Several antioxidant enzymes tested were glutathione transferase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione reductase and catalase. When the cell was exposed with various concentrations of NEU, lipid peroxide content increased about 2.5 fold with 6.25 mM NEU. Maximun 2.3 times higher alcohol dehydrogenase activity was found after NEU treatment. About 2 times higher aldehyde dehydrogenase activity could also be observed. Only slight increases of glutathione transferase and catalase activities occurred with NEU treatment. In addition mnximun 1.5 times higher superoxide dismutase activities and 3 times higher glutathione reductase activities were found after NEU treatment. Therefore, it is likely that the increases of superoxide dismutase and glutathione reductase could contribute in a antioxidative process against NEU toxicity.

N-nitrosoethylurea(NEU)에 의한 지질 과산화물의 함량 변화와 알데히드 대사효소 및 항산화효소의 활성변화를 쥐 간세포에서 측정하였다. 알데히드 대사효소로는 alcohol dehydrogenase와 aldehyde dehydrogenase가 사용되었고 항산화효소로는 glutathione transferase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione reductase와 catalase가 사용되었다. 쥐 간세포에 다양한 농도의 NEU를 처리한 후 지질 과산화물의 함량변화를 측정하였다. 그 결과 6.25mM NEU에 의하여 지질 과산화물의 함량이 최대 2.5배 증가하였다. Alcohol dehydrogenase의 활성은 NEU처리에 의하여 대조군보다 최대 2.3배 증가하였고 aldehyde dehydrogenase의 활성은 약 2배 증가하였다. 전암성 병변의 지표로 이용되는 glutathione transferase와 catalase의 경우 NEU처리에 의한 활성증가가 미미하였다. 그러나 superoxide dismutase의 활성은 최대 1.5배 증가하였고, glutathione reductase의 활성은 약 3배 증가하였다. 그러므로 superoxide dismutase와 g1utathione reductase의 활성증가가 NEU의 독성에 대한 세포내 항산화 방어과정에서 중요한 역할을 할 것으로 추측된다
