Glutathione transferases in rat lung: the presence of transferase 7-7, highly efficient in the conjugation of glutathione with the carcinogenic (+)-7β,8α-dihydroxy-9α,10α-oxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene

Abstract: The enzyme-catalysed conjugation of (+/-)-7 beta,8 alpha-dihydroxy-9 alpha, 10 alpha-oxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene [(+/-)-anti-BPDE] with glutathione (GSH) by cytosolic GSH transferases isolated primarily from rat lung has been studied. GSH transferase 4-4 was active in the GSH conjugation of anti-BPDE, whereas transferases 2-2 and 3-3 showed little activity. GSH transferase 1-1 did not contribute to the activity since significant amounts were not detected in the rat lung. Activity was also obtained wi… Show more

“…The doublereciprocal plots were also linear for each GST isoenzyme when the concentration of GSH was varied (plots not shown). This is in contrast to the results obtained with purified rat liver GST isoenzymes where a nonlinear relationship was observed (14,15). The V max value for forestomach GST 9.5 was about 7-159-fold higher as compared with other GST isoenzymes.…”

“…The results of the present study indicate that the kinetic properties of the pi class GST isoenzymes of rat (rGSTP1-1; Ref. 15), human (hGSTP1-1, Ref. 16), and mouse (present study) in the conjugation of GSH with anti-BPDE are different.…”

“…It is possible that GST Yp would be helpful in the detoxification of carcinogens because of its ability to catalyze conjugation reactions for carcinogens or peroxides [33][34][35] . Se-enriched JRS inhibited 80% of rat mammary carcinogenesis induced by 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene at a Se dose of 8.8 ppm in the diet 21) .…”

“…GSTT1 is involved in the biotransformation of a subset of low molecular weight toxins such as methyl-halogenids or ethylene oxide pyrene. 8 GSTP1, which is active against many polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) epoxides 9 such as (ϩ)anti-BPDE 10,11 or 5 methylchrysene, 12 is overexpressed in numerous human cancerous lesions 13,14 including head and neck cancers. 15 Genetic polymorphisms for GSTM1, GSTT1 and more recently allelic variants for GSTP1 have been found in human populations.…”
