They received an injection of [G-\(^3\)H]benzo(a)pyrene (BaP, 31 \(\mu\)g/kg, 7.4. 10\(^9\) dpm/kg; i. v.) 16 h before killing. In the liver of each rat, five enzymatic activities and the covalent binding of BaP to DNA have been determined. The rnicrosomal aryl hydrocarbon monooxygenase activity (AHM) ranged frorn 75\% of control (SO) to 356\% (TCDD), the nuclear AHM from 63\% (SO) to 333\% (TCDD). Microsomal epoxide hydrolase activity (EH) was induced up to 238\% (PB), nuclear EH ranged from 86\% (TCDD) to 218\% (PB). A different extent of induction was observed in the two compartments. Highest induction of glutathione S-epoxide transferase activity (GST) was found with PB (202\%). The DNA binding of BaP was modulated within 79\% (dieldrin, 9 days) and 238\% of control (TCDD). An enzyme digest of control DNA was analysed by Sephadex LH-20 chromatography. Multiple linear regression analysis with all data expressedas o/o of control yielded the following equation: DNA Binding = 1.49 · Microsomal AHM- 1.07 · Nuclear AHM+ 0.33 · Microsomal EH- 0.52 · N uclear EH+ 0.11 · Cytoplasmic GST + 58.2. From this analysis it is concluded that (1) AHM located in the endoplasmic reticulum is most important in the formation of DNA-binding metabolites, (2) EH in the same compar.tment is not determinative in thls respect nor has it a protective effect, (3) both membrane-bound enzyme activities located in the nucleus may inactivate potential ultimate carcinogens, and ( 4) cytoplasmic GST probably cannot reduce DNA binding due to its subcellular localization.}, subject = {Toxikologie}, language = {en} } @article{JaggiLutzLuethyetal.1980, author = {Jaggi, W. and Lutz, Werner K. and L{\"u}thy, J. and Zweifel, U. and Schlatter, C.}, title = {In vivo covalent binding of aflatoxin metabolites isolated from animal tissue to rat-liver DNA}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-61101}, year = {1980}, abstract = {Ring-labelled [\(^{14}\)C)aflatoxin B\(_1\) (AFB\(_1\)), prepared by biosynthesis. or generally labelled [\(^3\)H]AFB\(_1\) was administered by oral gavage to young adult male rats.

These two fractions were administered orally to other rats in order to determine the potential of radioactive aftatoxin residues for covalent binding to DNA. Such binding can be used as an indicator for carcinogenic potency. Liver DNA was isolated 9-12 hr after admmistration of the aflatoxin derivatives and in no case was any radioactivity detected on the DNA. It can be deduced on the basis of the limit of detection of radioactivity on the DNA, that macromolecule bound AFB\(_1\) derivatives are at least 4000 times less active than AFB\(_1\) with respect to covalent binding to rat-liver DNA. and that the water-soluble conjugates are at least 100 times less potent than AFB, itself.

Covalent binding of AFB1 to liver DNA of rat and mouse was determined 6-8 h afteroral administration. The effectiveness of covalent binding, expressedas DNA binding per dose in the units of a 'Covalent Binding Index' (CBI), (\(\mu\)mol aflatoxin/mol DNA nucleotides)/(mmol aflatoxin/kg animal), was found to be 10 400 for rats and 240 for mice. These CBI partly explain the different susceptibility of the two species for the incidence of hepatic tumors. The corresponding values for pig liver DN A, 24 and 48 h after oral administration, were found to be as high as 19 100 and 13 300. DNA-binding has not so far been reported for this species although it could represent an appropriate animal model for studies where a human-like gastrointestinal tract physiology is desirable.

[\(^{14}\)C] AFM\(_1\) was also found to be produced by cultures of A. parasiticus giving a yield of about 0.3\% of the total aflatoxins. A test for covalent binding to rat liver DN A revealed a CBI of 2100 shoWing that AFM\(_1\) must also be regarded as a strong hepatocarcinogen.

All six inhibitor-resistant mutants were found to be altered at the same position of the proteolipid, namely at the isoleucine at residue 28. Two substitutions could be identified. In type I this residue was substituted by a valine resulting in a moderate decrease in sensitivity to dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. Type II contained a threonine residue at this position. Here a strong resistance was observed. These two amino acid substitutions did not influence functional properties of the ATPase complex. ATPase as well as A TP-dependent proton-translocating activities of mutant membranes were indistinguishable from the wild type. At elevated concentrations, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide still bound specifically to the aspartic acid at residue 61 of the mutant proteolipid as in the wild type, and thereby inhibited the activity of the ATPase complex. It is suggested that the residue 28 substituted in the resistant mutants interacts with dicyclohexylcarbodiimide during the reactions leading to the covalent attachment of the inhibitor to the aspartic acid at residue 61. This could indicate that these two residues are in close vicinity and would thus provide a first hint on the functional conformation of the proteolipid. Its polypeptide chain would have to fold back to bring together these two residues separated by a segment of 32 residues.}, subject = {Biochemie}, language = {en} } @incollection{EllgringWagnerClarke1980, author = {Ellgring, Johann Heinrich and Wagner, H. and Clarke, AH}, title = {Psychopathological states and their effects on speech and gaze behaviour}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-50323}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg}, year = {1980}, abstract = {Internal characteristics such as depressed mood, anxiety and general negative emotions are accompanied, particularly during depressive illness, by changes in observable behaviour.

Further, do these changes occur synchronously to changes in the state of subjective well-being? A longitudinal study was made on depressed patients. Their behaviour was observed during standardised interviews and diagnostic-therapeutic discussions held at regu~ lar intervals. Various speech and gaze parameters were examined with respect to their coordination and their relationship to the subjective state of well-being. Considerable variation was found in the temporal relationship amongst these variables.
