title: Cytochrome P450 2E1 dependent catalytic activity and lipid peroxidation in rat blood lymphocytes.
abstract: To investigate the similarities in the catalytic activity of blood lymphocyte P450 2E1 in blood lymphocyte with the liver isoenzyme, NADPH dependent lipid peroxidation and activity of N-nitrosodimethyamine demethylase (NDMA-d) was studied in rat blood lymphocytes. Blood lymphocytes were found to catalyse NADPH dependent (basal) lipid peroxidation and demethylation of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA). Pretreatment with ethanol or pyrazole or acetone resulted in significant increase in the NADPH dependent lipid peroxidation and the activity of NDMA-d in blood lymphocytes and liver microsomes. In vitro addition of CCl(4) to the blood lymphocytes isolated from control or ethanol pretreated rats resulted in an increase in the NADPH dependent lipid peroxidation. Significant inhibition of the basal and CCl(4) supported NADPH dependent lipid peroxidation and NDMA-d activity in blood lymphocytes isolated from control or ethanol pretreated rats by dimethyl formamide or dimethyl sulfoxide or hexane, solvents known to inhibit P450 2E1 catalysed reactions in liver and anti- P450 2E1, have indicated the role of P450 2E1 in the NADPH dependent lipid peroxidation in rat blood lymphocytes. The data indicating similarities in the NADPH dependent lipid peroxidation and NDMA-d activity in blood lymphocyte with the liver microsome have provided evidence that blood lymphocyte P450 2E1 could be used as a surrogate to monitor and predict hepatic levels of the enzyme.
