title: Suppression of cytochrome P450 1A1 and 4A1 gene expression in renal carcinomas of TSC2 gene mutant (Eker) rats.
abstract: In the kidney, cytochrome P450 (CYP) is involved in arachidonic acid metabolism and the maintenance of homeostasis, but only scarce information is available as to how CYP expression is altered in rodent renal carcinomas (RCs). TSC2 gene mutant (Eker) rat RCs are an example of a Mendelian dominantly inherited predisposition to a specific cancer in an experimental animal. In the present study, the expression of CYP in Eker RCs was studied. In the normal kidney, CYP 1A1 and 4A1 mRNAs were expressed, but this expression was suppressed in spontaneously-induced Eker RCs and in cell line Lk9dL and Lk9dR. In Lk9dL and Lk9dR, Ah receptor nuclear translocator and haemoxygenase-1 mRNAs were expressed, but this expression was inconsistent in spontaneously-induced Eker RCs. The present results showed the suppression of CYP 1A1 and 4A1 mRNA expression in spontaneously-induced Eker RCs and this suppression indicates altered metabolic conditions in Eker RCs.
