Abstract
The metabolism of benzo(a)pyrene (B(a)P) to organic-soluble and water-soluble metabolites by transformable C3H10T1/2CL8 mouse embryo fibroblasts was studied as a function of time, B(a)P concentration, and cell density. The total formation of organic-soluble and water-soluble metabolites increased with incubation time from 4 to 48 h and with B(a)P concentration from 4 to 40 micromolarity. As cell density increased, the metabolic rate decreased for organic-soluble and water-soluble products between 6,300 and 54,00 cells/sq cm probably due to decreases in B(a)P concentrations to values below saturation. Specific organic-soluble metabolites identified were B(a)P-pre-9,10-diol, B(a)P-7,8-diol, B(a)P-3,6-quinone, B(a)P-3-phenol, and B(a)P-9-phenol. Water-soluble metabolites were subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis with beta-glucuronidase and aryl sulfatase to identify specific conjugated products. The sulfate conjugated metabolites identified were B(a)P-7,8-diol, B(a)P-pre-9,10-diols, B(a)P-9,10-diol, and B(a)P-3,6-quinone. The beta-glucuronic acid metabolites identified were Ba(a)P-pre-9,10-diols, B(a)P-3,6-quinone, and B(a)P-3-phenol. Patterns of metabolite formation rates are discussed as to their possible effect on morphological transformation rates in C3H10T1/2 cells with respect to incubation time and cell density.
