Abstract
- Four 2-phenylbenzotriazole (PBTA)-type compounds (PBTA-4, PBTA-6, PBTA-7, and PBTA-8) were identified as major mutagens in blue cotton/rayon-adsorbed substances collected at sites below textile dyeing factories or municipal water treatment plants treating domestic waste and effluents from textile dyeing factories in several rivers in Japan. The main purpose of this study is to understand the basis of the roles of human cytochrome P450 (CYP) and N -acetyltransferases (NATs) in genotoxic activation of PBTA derivatives. We compared the induction of umuC gene expression as a measure of genotoxicity using Salmonella typhimurium TA1535/pSK1002 (parental strain), NM2009 (bacterial O -acetyltransferase-overexpressing strain) established in our laboratories. PBTA-4, PBTA-6, PBTA-7, and PBTA-8 induced the umuC gene expression more strongly in the bacterial O -acetyltransferase-overproducing strain than in the parental strain in the presence of rat S9 mix. We determined the activation of PBTA derivatives by cDNA-based recombinant ( Trichoplusia ni ) systems expressing human or rat cytochrome P450 enzymes (P450 or CYP) and NADPH-P450 reductase using S. typhimurium NM2009. The results showed that human recombinant CYP1A1 enzyme was much more active than CYP1A2 and CYP3A4 in the genotoxic activation of PBTA-4, PBTA-6, PBTA-7, and PBTA-8. Similarly, rat recombinant CYP1A1 enzyme catalyzed the activation of these chemicals at high rates. α-Naphthoflavone, a known inhibitor of CYP1A1, was found to inhibit genotoxic activation caused by PBTA derivatives. We further determined the activation of PBTA derivatives using S. typhimurium NM6001 (human NAT1-expressing strain), S. typhimurium NM6002 (human NAT2-expressing strain), and S. typhimurium NM6000 ( O -AT-deficient parent strain) in the presence of S9 mix. PBTA-4 showed almost similar sensitivity in the NAT1-expressing strain and the NAT2-expressing strain, although NAT2-expressing strain exhibited relatively higher sensitivity to PBTA-6, PBTA-7, and PBTA-8 than NAT1-expressing strain. The results support the view that O -acetylation by human NAT1 and NAT2 enzymes is involved in the genotoxic activation of PBTA compounds. These results demonstrate for the first time that human P4501A1 and NATs (NAT1 and NAT2) contribute significantly to the activation of PBTA-type compounds to genotoxic metabolites that induce umuC gene expression in S. typhimurium tester strains.
