title: Induction of cytochrome P-450c in hematopoietic cells of fetal liver.
abstract: The transplacental inductive effect of beta-naphthoflavone (beta NF) on cytochrome P-450 isozymes was studied in separate hematopoietic and hepatocyte cells from fetal rat liver. Two fractions of dispersed fetal liver cells were isolated by Ficoll-Paque centrifugation and shown by histologic examination to be enriched in erythroblasts and hepatocytes, respectively. beta NF treatment increased ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase activity 250-fold in both erythroblast and hepatocyte cell fractions. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunostaining techniques showed the induction of cytochrome P-450c, but not P-450d, in erythroblast and hepatocyte fractions.
