Monoclonal antibody-directed characterization of rat hepatic P450 catalyzing the omega-1 and omega-2 hydroxylation of prostaglandins
Abstract
Previous studies have demonstrated that methylcholanthrene (MC) treatment of rats increases 10-fold the omega-2 hydroxylation of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) by liver microsomes (K. A. Holm, R. J. Engell, and D. Kupfer (1985) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 237, 477-489). The current study identifies the cytochrome P450 form, which catalyzes a major portion of the omega-2 hydroxylation of prostaglandins in liver microsomes of MC-treated rats (MC-microsomes) and examines whether the same enzyme catalyzes this reaction in microsomes from untreated rats (control microsomes). Three monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), MC 1-7-1, 1-31-2, and 1-36-1, raised against the major liver P450 from MC-treated rats were used. MAb 1-7-1 binds P450(57K) and P450(56K) (P450c and P450d, respectively); MAb 1-31-2 binds primarily P450(57K); and 1-36-1 binds solely P450(57k). MAb 1-7-1 inhibited omega-2 and omega-1 PGE2 hydroxylations in MC-microsomes by 70 and 45%, respectively. By contrast, MAb 1-31-2 and 1-36-1 were not inhibitory. MAb 1-7-1 did not inhibit PGE2 omega-2 hydroxylation in control or in microsomes from phenobarbital-treated rats (PB-microsomes). Since MAb 1-7-1 binds to both P450c and P450d, and 1-31-2 and 1-36-1 bind to P450c but are not inhibitory, these findings did not permit the determination of whether in MC microsomes a single isozyme (P450c or P450d) or both isozymes catalyze the omega-2 hydroxylation. This question was partially resolved by the observation that immunoaffinity-isolated P450c,…
