Inhibition of CYP1B1 in MCF-7 and V79 H1B1 Cells in Culture. Tuan M. Nguyen Major: General Science/Pre-Optometry Mentors: Dr. William M. Baird & Dr. Brinda Mahadevan
Overview • Introduction • Methods • Results • Summary
Introduction • Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are environmental carcinogens • Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes such as CYP1B1 have been identified to be involved in the activation of dibenzo[a,l]pyrene (DBP)
Introduction • DBP is one of PAH forms • DBP commonly found in cigarette smoke, diesel exhaust, urban dust and other environmental carcinogens.
DNA adduct formation on exposure to DBP CYP 1A1 CYP 1B1 DBP diol-epoxides DBPDE DNA adducts
Objective • To investigate the importance of CYP1B1 as key enzyme in metabolizing DBP to its metabolites.
Aspects of Study • DNA adducts • CYP1B1 enzyme activity • CYP1B1 gene expression
Experimental DesignDNA Adducts MCF-7 Cells • TMS (- control) • TMS+DBP • DBP • DBPDE (+ control) V79 H1B1 Cells • TMS (- control) • TMS+DBP • DBP • DMSO (solvent ctrl)
Methods Add fresh media to cells 24 hrs prior to treatment V79 H1B1 MCF-7 TMS (-) TMS+DBP DBP DBPDE (+) TMS (-) TMS+DBP DBP DMSO (solvent ctrl) 20 ml media 20 ml media 24hr DNA RNA & Microsome isolation isolation Harvest RT-PCR P450 Glo Assay Postlabeling & HPLC
