title: Differential effects of 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate on cytochrome P-450-dependent monooxygenase activities in rat hepatoma cells: induction of P-450I and suppression of P-450II.
abstract: We have studied the effects of the tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) on cytochrome P-450-dependent monooxygenase activities in several differentiated and dedifferentiated Reuber rat hepatoma cell lines using aryl hydrocarbon (benzo[a]pyrene) hydroxylase (AHH), ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD), and aldrin epoxidase (AE) as test systems. The following results were obtained: (1) Exposure of cultures to 400 nM TPA for 18-24 h increased AHH activities in the differentiated lines 2sFou, H41IEC3/G- and Fao as well as in the dedifferentiated line 5L, 1.5-2.5-fold. The phorbol ester did not affect AHH activity in the dedifferentiated line H5. (2) EROD, a marker for P-450I, was induced by the phorbol ester to a similar degree as AHH. (3) A monoclonal antibody directed against P-450I strongly inhibited the AHH activity induced by TPA. (4) The onset of AHH or EROD induction by TPA was much later than that elicited by benz[a]anthracene. (6) In contrast to the induction of AHH and EROD, TPA decreased AE activity, a marker for P-450II, by about 50% in all the cell lines containing this monooxygenase activity. (7) The half-maximum-effect concentration of TPA for inducing or suppressing AHH and AE, respectively, was approximately 20 nM. (8) TPA did not interfere with AHH induction by benz[a]anthracene. However, the phorbol ester moderately decreased AHH induction and markedly suppressed AE induction by dexamethasone. The results indicate that TPA simultaneously induces P-450I and suppresses P-450II forms in rat hepatoma cells. P-450I induction by TPA in these cells did not appear to depend on their status of differentiation. Furthermore, the results suggest that the mechanism of P-450I induction by TPA differs from that elicited by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons or glucocorticoids.
