title: Role of interleukin-1beta in the modulations of cytochrome P450 and heme metabolism in rat liver.
abstract: The effect of recombinant human interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) on the modulation of hepatic cytochrome P450 (P450) was investigated by in vivo subcutaneous dosing studies in male Sprague-Dawley rats. To assess the effect of IL-1beta on heme metabolism, we determined the delta-aminolevulinic acid synthetase (delta-ALAS) and heme oxygenase activities in the liver. IL-1beta suppressed the microsomal total P450 and heme contents and delta-ALAS activity in the liver. In contrast, microsomal heme oxygenase activity was significantly increased by the IL-1beta treatments. Western blot analysis and marker enzyme activities for individual P450 isoforms demonstrated that IL-1beta suppressed CYP2C6, 2C13, 2E1, and 3A2, whereas CYP2A, 2B1/2, 2C11, and 4A1 were not influenced by the treatments. IL-1beta inhibited both allylisopropylamide- and phenobarbital-inducible delta-ALAS activities in the liver. These results indicate that IL-1beta has differential effects on the constitutive P450, and also on delta-ALAS and heme oxygenase activities in rat liver. Thus, the modulation of hepatic P450 by IL-1beta is complex, and IL-1beta may be involved in the regulation of both apoprotein synthesis for each P450 isoform and the heme pools in the liver.
