METHODS: The dose-dependent (25-100 mmol/L) and time-dependent (0-24 h) exposures of primary human cultured hepatocytes to ethanol were carried out. CYP2E1 activity and protein expression were detected by spectrophotometer and Western blot analysis respectively. Hepatotoxicity was investigated by determination of Iactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and aspartate transaminase (AST) level in hepatocyte culture supernatants, as well as the intracellular formation of malondialdehyde (MDA). RESULTS: A dose-and time-dependent response between ethanol exposure and CYP2E1 activity in human hepatocytes was demonstrated. Moreover, there was a time-dependent increase of CYP2E1 protein after 100 mmol/L ethanol exposure. Meanwhile, ethanol exposure of hepatocytes caused a time-dependent increase of cellular MDA level, LDH, and AST activities in supernatants. Furthermore, the inhibitor of CYP2E1, diallyl sulfide (DAS) could partly attenuate the increases of MDA, LDH, and AST in human hepatocytes. CONCLUSION: A positive relationship between ethanolinduced oxidative damage in human primary cultured hepatocytes and CYP2E1 activity was exhibited, and the inhibition of CYP2E1 could partly attenuate ethanol-induced oxidative damage.展开更多

Methods： CYP2E1 cDNA was subcloned from the human liver full-length cDNA library and subsequently transfected into the FIp-In CHO cells to generate the stable transfectant of CYP2E1. The CYP2E1 mRNA expression was determined by RT-PCR. Acrylamide and its epoxide glycidamide induced cytotoxicity and cell cycle arrest in G2/M were conducted using MTS assay and flow cytometry, respectively. Results： In the CHO cell stably expressing CYP2E1 （CHO-2E1）, a -1.5 kb size of band was detected from the mRNA in the cells while no corresponding band in the CHO-vector cells, which indicated that CYP2E1 was successfully transfected in the CHO cells. Compared with the CHO-vector cells, acrylamide showed a concentration dependent loss of viability in the CHO-2E1 cells but no significant change of G2/M arrest was found. As expected, glycidamide induced similar profile of cytotoxicity in both of the cells, and G2/M arrest presented a concentration-dependent increased in the CHO-2E1 cells. Conclusion： The result suggested that CYP2E1 might be responsible for the acrylamide metabolism, and its metabolite glycidamide was a direct cytotoxic and genotoxic agent. It should be further considered whether acrylamide-induced toxicity is through its epoxide glycidamide in the presence of CYP2E1.展开更多
