PCBs의 경구 투여에 의한 틸라피아, Oreochromis niloticus의 간 cytochrome P450 효소계의 변화를 30일간 관찰하였다. 30일 동안 PCBs 0.05, 0.25 및 0.50mg/kg을 투여했을 때, HSI는 각각 1.81, 1.72 및 $1.54\%$ 감소하였으나, 유의한 차이는 인정되지 않았다. PCBs 0.05mg/kg에 노출된 간 cytochrome P450 농도는 30일째 대조구에 비해 1.4배 유의한 증가를 나타냈고, 0.25mg/kg 이상에서는 실험 20일 이후부터 유의적으로 증가하였다. EROD 활성도는 PCBs 0.05 mg/kg에서 실험 30일째부터 유의하게 증가하여 약 8배 높게 나타났다. 또한, PCBs 0.25mg/kg이상에서는 실험 20일째부터 유의하게 증가하여 30일째부터는 각각 18 및 22배의 증가를 나타냈다. PROD는 PCBs $0.05\~0.50mg/kg$에 노출시킨 개체에서 $0.78\~1.93$pmole/mg protein이 측정되어 대조구에 비해 뚜렷한 변화는 관찰되지 않았다. 이상의 결과는 자연 수역에서 PCBs의 잔류에 따라 먹이를 통해 틸라피아의 체내에 적어도 0.05 mg/kg 이상이 30일간 이상 계속적으로 유입될 경우에 간 cytochrome P450농도 및 EROD 활성도는 증가될 것으로 추정된다.

It is it well known fact that the most relevant toxic emissions such as polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs), dioxin-1ike polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are produced from incinerators. Induction of cytochrome P450IA1 catalyzed 7-ethoxyresorufin 0-deethylase (EROD) activity in mammalian cell culture (EROD-microbioassay) is a selective and sensitive parameter used for the quantification of dioxin-like compounds.

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.

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.

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.

College of Pharmacy, Ewha womans University, Seoul, 120-750, Korea 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is the most potent halogenated aromatic hydrocarbon congener that induces expression of several genes including CYP1A1. Exposure to TCDD results in many toxic actions such as carcinogenesis, hepatotoxicity, immune suppression, and reproductive and developmental toxicity. Dramatic differences in dioxin toxicity have been observed between the sexes of some animal species, suggesting hormonal modulation of dioxin action. Many studies have been reported and propose several mechanisms of anti-estrogenic effects of TCDD. In contrast, the effect of estrogen on the regulation of CYP1A1 are not clear at present. There are several reports showing conflicting results. It seems that induction/inhibition of CYP1A1 may be dependent on cell-type and concentration. The purpose of this study was to investigate the regulation of TCDD-induced CYP1A1 gene expression by estradiol and its metabolites. We examined whether estradiol and its metabolites altered TCDD-mediated induction of CYP1A1 enzyme activity. 17 ${\beta}$ estradiol and 16 ${\alpha}$ estriol at non cytotoxic concentrations caused a significant concentration dependent decline of TCDD-induced EROD activity To determine whether reduced EROD activity reflected altered CYP1A1 mRNA expression, we measured CYP1A1 mRNA level by RT-PCR. And to examine whether estradiol and its metabolites have effects on TCDD-induced CYP1A1 gene expression at the transcription level, we also peformed transient transfection with an AhR responsive reporter plasmid containing the 5' flanking region of the human CYP1A1 gene to examine whether estradiol and its metabolites have effects on TCDD-induced CYP1A1 gene expression at the transcription level.

In this study, we have investigated the effect of Biphenyl Dimethyl Dicarboxylate (DDB), a synthetic analogue of Schizandrin C isolated from Schizandrae Fructus on cytochrome $P_450$ lAl and 2Bl, and the protective mechanism against $CCl_4-induced$ hepatotoxicity in rat liver. After DDB was administered into male rats for different periods of time (1~7 days) and with different doses (25, 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg), mRNA levels of CYPlAl were measured by polymearse chain reaction (PCR) and assayed the activities of CYPlAl specific ethoxyresorufin-O-dealkylase (EROD) and CYP2Bl specific benzyloxyresorufin-O-dealkylase (BROD). DDB treatment resulted in increase in CYP2Bl mRNA level and BROD activity, whereas there was no change in CYPlAl mRNA level and EROD activity. This effect of DDB was time-and dose-dependent and reached maximal level by 3 day and 200 mg/kg treatment. In addition, rats were pre-treated with DDB at doses of 25, 50 or 100 mg/kg daily for 4 days, 3-hr after final treatment on the 4th day, $CCl_4$ 0.3ml/kg was intraperitonially injected into the rats to examine the effect of DDB on $CCl_4-induced$ hepatic injury. Serum levels of ALT and AST were determined and histopathological examination was done in rat liver. Furthermore, we have measured hepatic microsomal malondialdehyde(MDA) level, a parameter of lipid peroxidation. Based on serum ALT level and lipid peroxidation, pretreatment of DDB, 50 mg/kg appeared the most protective effect against $CCl_4-induced$ heapatotoxity. These results indicate that DDB stimulates CYP2Bl mRNA level and BROD activity in time and dose dependent manner and suggest that protective effect of DDB on $CCl_4-induced$ hepatotoxicity may be mediated through free radical scavenging.

각각 20 시료씩 최대한 다양한 산지에서 생산된 것으로 추정되는 참굴, 김 및 조피볼락을 시중에서 수집하여 이들 수산 식품에 존재하는 15 종의 다환성 방향족 탄화수소류 (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, PAHs)의 잔류량을 분석하였다. 그 결과 1종의 PAHs라도 발견되는 시료의 비율은 참굴 전육질부(75%), 조피볼락 간췌장(35%), 조피볼락 근육(0%), 건조 김(0%) 순이었다. 이런 차이가 나타나도록 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석하기 위해 실험실에서 대표적 PAHs의 하나인 phenanthrene을 이 세 종의 생물에 0.01 및 $0.1{\mu}g/mL$의 농도로 2주간 노출시켰다. 참굴의 소화선, 김, 조피볼락의 간췌장에서 높은 축적성이 관찰되었지만 굴의 전 육질부(소화선 포함)나 조피볼락의 근육에서는 낮은 축적성이 관찰되었다. 생물 종간의 실험실 노출에서의 축적성 차이와 시중 시료에서 발견된 잔류성 차이는 관련성이 거의 없었다. PAHs는 소수성이 강한 물질이기 때문에 생물 종간 지방 함량을 분석하여 지방함량이 PAHs 축적성에 관련되는 지를 평가하였다. 조피볼락의 간췌장이 근육에 비해 지질 함량이 높았고 phenanthrene 축적성도 높은 것으로 조사되어 조피볼락에서 지질 함량이 간췌장으로의 PAHs의 축적에 어느 정도 기여하는 것으로 추정되었지만 다른 생물에서는 지질 함량에 따른 phenanthrene 축적성 차이가 없었다. 또한 PAHs 대사를 통한 배설 정도를 평가하기 위해 cytochrome $P_{450}$ 효소의 하나인 7-ethyoxyresorufin-O-deethylase(EROD)의 활성을 분석한 결과, 조피볼락에서는 참굴 보다 EROD 활성이 훨씬 높게 나타나 조피볼락에서 참굴보다 PAHs의 제거가 더 활발하였음을 추정할 수 있었고 그 결과로 인해 조피볼락에서 상대적으로 PAHs 검출 빈도를 낮게 나타난 것으로 추정된다. 그러나 본 연구에서 분석되지 않은 인자들 예를 들면, 생물간 노출 조건의 차이, 도피 능력, 섭이를 통한 축적 및 가공 과정에서의 소실 등에 대한 평가는 더 조사해야 할 부분이다.
