title: Induction of cytochrome P-450 by dimethyl sulfoxide in primary cultures of adult rat hepatocytes.
abstract: Treatment of hepatocyte cultures with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) induced P-450IIE1-specific aniline 4-hydroxylase activity and P-450IA1-specific ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase activity at a concentration of 0.1% (v/v). The P-450IIB-specific pentoxyresorufin O-deethylase activity was induced only at the 2% (v/v) level. Dot blot analysis of the total cellular RNA and cycloheximide treatment of the culture suggested that induction of ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase activity by DMSO may be due to the increase of de novo synthesis of the P-450IA1 protein, not to accumulation of mRNA in the hepatocyte culture.
