The influence of microsomal (mAHH) and nuclear (nAHH) aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase activity on the covalent binding of t:titiated benzo(a)pyrene to rat liver DNA was evaluated in vivo. Induction ofmAHH was obtained after phenobarbitone treatment (180% of control), which increased DNA binding to 210%, but left the nAHH unchanged. mAHH and nAHH were slightly indilced with dieldrin (130% and 120%), but the binding remairred unchanged. The increasing effect of mAHlt as weil as the possibly decreasing effect of nAHH induction on the binding became obvious when the data of 11 individual rats were used to solve the equation Binding = aX(mAHH) + bX(nAHH) + c. Multiple linear regression analysis resulted in positive values for a and c, a negative value for b, and a multiple correlation coefficient R = 0.82. An influence of other enzymes involved in the metabolism of benzo(a)pyrene cannot be excluded. The Study shows clearly that the binding of a foreign compound to DNA in vivo is not only dependent on microsomal enzyme activities but also on nuclear activities even if the latter are considerably lower than those of mic'rosomes.
The determination of a covalent binding of radioactive chemieals to DNA in intact mammalian organisms is proposedas a short-term test for carcinogenicity. The effectiveness of covalent binding to rat liver DNA correlates well with the hepatocarcinogenicity known from long-term bioassays. The binding indices range over more than five orders of rriagnitude between the strongest hepatocarcinogen aflatoxin B 1 and the limit of detection of a binding with 100 f-LCi 14C-labelled chemical. The order of magnitude of binding is therefore a surprisingly good quantitative measure for carcinogenicity. The pattern of DNA binding sites is important especially for small alkylating agents where the determination of total binding might indicate a higher carcinogenic potency than is actually observed.
Drei Methoden zur Bestimmung zweiseitiger Überschreitungswahrscheinlichkeiten bei der exakten Prüfung von Vierfeldertafeln nach FISCHER-YATES werden diskutiert. An einem Beispiel wird aufgezeigt, daß diese Methoden zu verschiedenen Signifikanzentscheidungen führen können. Es werden Möglichkeiten aufgezeigt, wie diese Schwierigkeiten in der Praxis umgangen werden können.
Incubation of mitochondria from Neuraspara crassa and Saccharomyces cerevisiae with the radioactive ATPase inhibitor [14C]dicyclohexylcarbodiimide results in the irreversible and rather specific labelling of a low-molecular-weight polypeptide. This dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-binding protein is identical with the smallest subunit (Mr 8000) of the mitochondrial ATPase complex, and it occurs as oligomer, probably as hexamer, in the enzyme protein. The dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-binding protein is extracted from whole mitochondria with neutral chloroformjmethanol both in the free and in the inhibitor-modified form. In Neuraspara and yeast, this extraction is highly selective and the protein is obtained in homogeneaus form when the mitochondria have been prewashed with certain organic solvents. The bound dicyclohexylcarbodiimide Iabel is enriched in the purified protein up to 50-fold compared to whole mitochondria. Based on the amino acid analysis, the dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-binding protein from Neurospora and yeast consists of at least 81 and 76 residues, respectively. The content of hydrophobic residues is extremely high. Histidine and tryptophan are absent. The N-terminal ~mino acid is tyrosine in Neuraspara and formylmethionine in yeast.
Die Darstellung der Verbindungen 3a (sowie 3b) und 10, die sich vom 1-(4-Chlorphenyl)-1-(2~ diethylaminoethoxy)silacyclohexan (Sila-Chlorphencyclan, II a) ableiten, wird beschrieben. Die Verbindung 3 b wurde pharmakologisch und toxikologisch untersucht. Die biologischen Eigen· schaften von 3b wurden mit denen von Ila (sowie Chlorphencyclan) und seinem Hydrochiarid Ilb verglichen.
Die Umsetzung von Diphenyl-vinylsilan mit zyklischen sekundären Aminen (z.B. Morpholin) in Gegenwart der entsprechenden Lithium-amide führt zu einer Substitution des an Silicium gebundenen H-Atoms durch eine Aminogruppe und zu einer Addition des Amins an die Vinylgruppe. 2-Thienylphenyl- vinylsilan reagiert jedoch zusätzlich unter Spaltung der Si-e-Bindung und Aminosubstitution der 2-Thienylgruppe.
The covalent binding of tritiated benzo(a)pyrene (BP) to DNA has been determined in rat liver in vivo, in rat liver perfused in situ, after incubation of BP with liver single cells, with liver homogenate, with liver microsomes and DNA, with fibroblasts from a rat granulorna pouch, and with · 2 cell lines. Li ver single cells were found to be a valuable compromise between the rnost sensitive system (microsomal incubation of BP with DNA) and the biologically most relevant system (in vivo ).
