Abstract
The present work demonstrates that cDNAs coding for cytochrome P450 enzymes can be transfected into mammalian cells and expressed. Two different cell systems were used for transfection. The 10T 1/2 cells can be treated with a nontransforming dose of an initiator followed by continuous treatment with a second chemical that requires cytochrome P450 specific metabolism to manifest its promoting activity. By this approach, greater insight into the role of chemical metabolism in the promotion process (and presumably other nongenotoxic effects) can be obtained. Additionally, the role of specific cytochrome P450s in the metabolism of different classes of carcinogens/drugs can be elucidated. A major advantage of having the metabolizing enzymes actually present in the target cell is that effects of chemicals can be studied in long-term, low-dose exposure protocols which will eliminate the acute toxic effects which are associated with many current protocols.
