    • In the present study, 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD), 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-hydroxylase, and covalent binding of H-3-labeled 3-amino-1,4-dimethyl-5H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole (H-3-Trp-P-1) and H-3-DMBA were examined in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and human umbilical artery endothelial cells (HUAEC) exposed to the aryl hydrocarbon (Ah) receptor agonist beta -naphthoflavone (BNF) or vehicle only. The results revealed a marked induction of enzymatic activity in BNF-treated HUVEC compared with vehicle-treated cells, whereas no similar response was observed in BNF-treated HUAEC. EROD, DMBA hydroxylase, and covalent binding of H-3-Trp-P-1 and H-3-DMBA in BNF-treated HUVEC were reduced in the presence of the CYP1A inhibitor ellipticine. Addition of other CYP1A inhibitors ru-naphthoflavone, miconazole, 1-ethynylpyrene, 1-(1-propynyl)pyrene, or the CYP1A substrate ethoyresorufin to the incubation buffer of BNF-treated HUVEC reduced covalent binding of H-3-Trp-P-1 by 93-98%. Western blot analysis confirmed an induction of CYP1A1 in BNF-treated HUVEC, but not in BNF-treated HUAEC. CYP1A1 was, however, detected in both vehicle- and BNF-treated HUAEC. The results showed that BNF exposure induced CYP1A1 and metabolic activation of xenobiotics in HUVEC, whereas the catalytic activity remained low in BNF-treated HUAEC. Our results suggest that endothelial lining of human veins may be a target for adverse effects of xenobiotics activated into reactive metabolites by Ah receptor-regulated enzymes. Several studies have detected CYP1A1 in endothelial linings, whereas expression of CYP1A2 and CYP1B1 seems to be negligible at this site. This suggests that the metabolic activation and covalent binding of H-3-Trp-P-1 and H-3-DMBA in HUVEC are most likely mediated by CYP1A1.

  • Persistent Olfactory Mucosal Metaplasia and Increased Olfactory Bulb Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein Levels Following a Single Dose of Methylsulfonyl-dichlorobenzene in Mice: Comparison of the 2,5- and 2,6-Dichlorinated Isomers
  • 2000

    • Histopathology was used to characterize long-term toxic effects in the olfactory system following a single ip dose (4–65 mg/kg) of methylsulfonyl-2,6-dichlorobenzene, (2,6-(diCl-MeSO2-B)), in female NMRI mice. The effects of 2,6-(diCl-MeSO2-B) and its 2,5-chlorinated isomer, (2,5-(diCl-MeSO2-B)), on the levels of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP; a biomarker for neurotoxicity) in different brain regions were examined by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The histopathologic effects of 2,6-(diCl-MeSO2-B) were dose-, time-, and tissue-dependent. At the highest doses (16–65 mg/kg), the initial effect of 2,6-(diCl-MeSO2-B) was necrosis of the Bowman's glands, followed by a sequence of secondary events including degeneration of the olfactory neuroepithelium, repopulation of the basement membrane by a ciliated respiratorylike epithelium, fibrosis and ossification in the lamina propria, formation of bilateral polyps, angiogenesis, and disappearance of nerve bundles. Remodeling was most pronounced in the dorsal meatus of the olfactory mucosa and persisted for the duration of the experiment (46 weeks). A dose-dependent induction of GFAP in the olfactory bulb of mice treated with 2,6-(diCl-MeSO2-B) was observed at all doses examined (16–65 mg/kg). GFAP levels were highest 2 weeks after treatment (eightfold induction at 65 mg/kg) and then gradually decreased to normal within 26 weeks. The 2,5-substituted isomer (65 mg/kg) did not induce GFAP in the olfactory bulb and or toxicity in the olfactory mucosa. In conclusion, a single dose of 2,6-(diCl-MeSO2-B) results in persistent metaplasia and remodeling of the olfactory mucosa, and a long-lasting but transient induction of GFAP in the olfactory bulb. It is proposed that methylsulfonyl-2,6-dichlorobenzene may serve as an experimental tool with a unique ability to produce persistent primary and/or secondary lesions in the olfactory system of mice.

  • Gonad development and plasma steroid profiles by HRGC/HRMS during one reproductive cycle in reference and leachate-exposed female perch (Perca fluviatilis)
  • 2004

    • Endocrine processes were studied in reference female perch (Perca fluviatilis) from Lake Djursjön and in leachate-exposed females from Lake Molnbyggen during one reproductive cycle. A high-resolution gas chromatography/high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRGC/HRMS) technique enabled the analysis of circulating sex steroids [progesterone (P), 17α-hydroxyprogesterone (17α-OHP), androstenedione (A), testosterone (T), estrone (E1), and 17β-estradiol (E2)], the maturation-inducing hormone (MIH) 17α,20β-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one (17α,20β-P), and glucocorticoids [11-deoxycortisol (11-DC) and cortisol]. Body and organ measurements, ratio of sexually mature (SM) females, and frequencies of body lesions, were also recorded. High frequencies of body lesions and a low ratio of SM females were generally found in Molnbyggen. These females also had lower gonadosomatic index (GSI) and liver-somatic index (LSI) in the early stages of vitellogenesis, indicating either a delayed onset of oogenesis or an impaired vitellogenesis. Non-reproducing females from both lakes showed a similar LSI cycle as SM females. Increasing T and A levels in SM females from Djursjön coincided with the GSI peak at the time of spawning. These two androgens were on several occasions lower in SM females from Molnbyggen, possibly the result of a disrupted 17,20-lyase activity of the P450 17α enzyme because only minor effects were observed on circulating P and 17α-OHP levels. E2 and E1 levels increased during vitellogenesis in females from both lakes, with E1 levels more closely resembling the peaks of A and GSI. Peak levels of 17α,20β-P at the time of spawning confirmed its function as the MIH in perch, while the simultaneous peak of 11-DC suggests that it also may be involved in final maturation of the oocytes.

  • Acute Effects of Nicotine Infusion on Platelets in Nicotine Users with Normal and Impaired Renal Function
  • 2000
  • Ingår i: Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology. - : Elsevier BV. - 0041-008X .- 1096-0333. ; 163:2, s. 95-104

    • The role of platelets in cardiovascular disease associated with smoking is becoming more established, but the effects of nicotine on platelets are unclear. Nicotine therapy is used for smoking cessation in both health and disease. Consequently, the effects of nicotine on platelets are of particular significance in disorders such as renal disease, which is associated with defective platelet function, increased cardiovascular morbidity, and altered nicotine metabolism. Thus, the aim of the present study was to investigate the acute effects of nicotine infusion (NI) on platelets in seven healthy subjects (HS) and seven patients with renal failure (RF). All subjects were nicotine users and had refrained from using nicotine for 36 h before NI. Blood was collected before, immediately after, and 2 h after NI. The plasma concentrations of nicotine and its main metabolite cotinine were determined by gas chromatography. Platelet responsiveness was assessed by aggregometry and flow cytometry in whole blood (P-selectin surface expression, fibrinogen- and von Willebrand factor-binding), P-selectin expression in isolated platelets, and immunoassays of platelet release (β-thromboglobulin, platelet factor 4, and soluble P-selectin) and nitric oxide (NO) products. The plasma levels of cotinine, but not nicotine, were significantly higher in RF compared to HS at all time points. In both groups, collagen-induced platelet aggregation was restrained immediately after NI, when the plasma concentration of nicotine was maximal, and was restored after 2 h. Two hours after NI, activation-dependent P-selectin surface expression in isolated platelets increased in both groups. This increased platelet responsiveness occurred simultaneously with a significant increase of plasma cotinine and a decrease of NO products. Thus, the present study suggests that nicotine, directly or through some secondary mechanism or metabolite, only slightly potentiates some of the platelet responses. Renal failure appears not to influence the effects of nicotine on platelets.
