title: Suppression of TCDD-induced cytochrome P450 IA1 activity by staurosporine in mouse primary hepatocyte cultures and hepatoma cells.
abstract: 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) induced cytochrome P450 IA1 activity in mouse primary hepatocyte cultures and mouse hepatoma Hepa-1 cells. Pretreatment with staurosporine, a protein kinase C inhibitor, inhibited TCDD-activated cytochrome P450 IA1 expression dose-dependently in both culture systems. Staurosporine also decreased P450IA1 protein synthesis which was detected using western immunoblot. Increased transcription of CYP1A1 gene by TCDD was also suppressed by staurosporine treatment. However, tyrphostin AG213, a specific tyrosine kinase inhibitor, had no effects on TCDD-induced cytochrome P450 expression. These results suggest that protein kinase C signal transduction may be involved in the cytochrome P450 induction mechanism by TCDD.
