| Abstract | The induction of cytochrome P450 (CYP450) and Phase II conjugating enzymes by prototypical hepatic enzyme inducers was studied in adult male rat hepatocytes. Hepatocytes were suspended and cultured in diluted Matrigel® in a basal serum-free Dulbecco’s modified Eagle medium and exposed to the prototypical liver enzyme inducers, 3-methylcholanthrene, phenobarbital, hydrocortisone, and clofibrate for 48 h. Total RNA and microsomes were isolated and prepared, respectively, at 72 h. The expression of CYP1A1, CYP1A2, CYP2B1, CYP2C11, CYP2E1, CYP3A1, CYP3A2, CYP4A1, fatty acyl-CoA oxidase, uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyltransferase, glutathione-S-transferase, and sulfotransferase was determined at the mRNA level with reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The expression of CYP1A1, CYP2B1, CYP2C11, CYP2E1, and CYP4A1 was also measured at the apoprotein level by Western immunoblotting. Using these culture and expression analysis techniques, we have found that the expression of these metabolic enzymes can be maintained in culture for up to 7 d at the mRNA and apoprotein levels. In addition, hepatocytes were found to respond to chemical enzyme inducers with marked increases in enzyme expression at either the mRNA or protein level and in a concentration-related fashion. Cells were responsive to enzyme induction as early as 24 h after initial plating. The results obtained from this investigation indicate that the presence of diluted Matrigel® (at a concentration of 0.35 mg/ml), the use of low concentrations of insulin (1 µM), hydrocortisone (0.1 µM), and serum-free culture medium can maintain the differentiated phenotype and responsiveness of cultured hepatocytes to chemical-induced metabolic enzyme expression. Under the conditions used in this study, enzyme induction in adult male rat hepatocytes shows close agreement with enzyme induction observed in the livers of rats exposed to these or similar prototypical enzyme inducers. Rat hepatocytes cultured in the presence of diluted Matrigel® coupled with enzyme mRNA expression analysis with RT-PCR are proven to be a valuable and important in vitro toxicological approach to assess the chemical-induced changes in expression of liver CYP450 and Phase II conjugating enzymes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
