title: Effects of beta-ionone on the expression of cytochrome P450s and NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase in Sprague Dawley rats.
abstract: We have recently reported that beta-ionone induces cytochrome P450 (P450) 2B1 in rats. Effects of beta-ionone on the expression of other P450 isozymes and NADPH-P450 reductase were further investigated in Sprague Dawley rats. Administration of beta-ionone subcutaneously 72 and 48 h before sacrificing the animals not only significantly induced the liver microsomal activities of P450-associated enzymes and NADPH-P450 reductase, but also clearly increased in the level of P450 1A1/2, P450 2C, and NADPH-P450 reductase proteins. The induction of P450 1A1/2 and 2C by beta-ionone was much greater in male than in female as measured by western immunoblotting. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reactions showed that, in addition to P450 2B1 and 2B2 mRNAs, P450 1A2, 2C6 and NADPH-P450 reductase mRNAs were increased when beta-ionone was administered. Our previous and present results indicated that beta-ionone may induce several P450s and NADPH-P450 reductase by the accumulation of their corresponding mRNAs.
