title: Strain differences in the maintenance of cytochrome P-450 and mixed-function-oxidase activities in cultured rat hepatocytes. Effect of prostaglandins.
abstract: The mixed-function-oxidase (MFO) activities, ethoxyresorufin and pentoxyphenoxazone O-dealkylase, of cultured Hooded-Lister(HL)-rat hepatocytes declined rapidly during 72 h of culture, whereas in Sprague-Dawley(SD)-rat hepatocytes the MFO activities increased between 24 and 72 h in culture. Cytochrome P-450 content declined at the same rate in both HL- and SD-rat hepatocyte cultures. NADPH:cytochrome c reductase and NADH:cytochrome b5 reductase were more stable in SD- than in HL-rat hepatocyte cultures. 16,16-Dimethylprostaglandins E2 and F2 alpha improved the maintenance of cytochrome P-450 content, MFO activity and NADPH:cytochrome c reductase in the HL-rat hepatocyte cultures. In SD-rat hepatocytes, the prostaglandins had no effect on cytochrome P-450 content or NADPH:cytochrome c reductase activity, whereas they prevented the increase observed in MFO activities between 24 and 72 h after culture.
