The potential for enhanced translational processing of P450IIE1 mRNA during the early phase of P450IIE1 induction by pyridine or acetone was assessed by hybridization analysis of polyribosomal P450IIE1 mRNA distribution in rat hepatic tissue. Optical absorbance profiles of polyribosomal fractions exhibited an apparent shift at 5 h following pyridine administration relative to control. Slot and Northern blot analyses for P450IIE1 mRNA in the cytoplasmic extracts isolated from 5 h pyridine-treated rats demonstrated a shift in distribution of P450IIE1 message toward heavier polyribosomal fractions and Northern blot analysis suggested the presence of different populations of P450IIE1 mRNA. Slot blot analyses also demonstrated a shift in the polyribosomal distribution of P450IIE1 mRNA at 12 h following pyridine treatment; in contrast, hybridization analysis for P450IA1 revealed no shift in polyribosomal distribution of P450IA1 mRNA. Acute acetone administration to animals also resulted in a similar shift in polyribosomal distribution of P450IIE1 mRNA as compared to control. These data suggest that P450IIE1 mRNA shifts toward larger polyribosomes following acute exposure of animals to pyridine or acetone and provide evidence that induction of P450IIE1 at early times following acute pyridine or acetone administration involves enhanced translational efficiency through increased loading of ribosomes on P450IIE1 mRNA.

Alcohol induces liver neoplasia in a novel alcohol-preferring rat model.

Background: Alcohol is a significant risk factor for the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). To date, no rodent model has demonstrated the formation of hepatic neoplasia in the setting of chronic alcohol consumption alone.
Methods: We investigated whether rats selectively bred for high alcohol preference (P rats), allowed free access to water, or water and 10% (v/v) alcohol, for 6, 12, or 18 months, develop hepatic neoplasia.
Genetic polymorphism and mRNA levels of cytochrome P450IIE1 and glutathione S-transferase P1 in patients with alcoholic liver disease in different nationalities.

Background: Alcohol abuse and dependence are major factors in the pathogenesis of alcoholic liver disease (ALD). Alcohol abuse is becoming an increasingly severe problem among the Han, Mongol, and Korean nationalities in northeast China. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between ALD and the genetic polymorphism and expression levels of two enzymes, cytochrome P450IIE1 (CYPIIE1) and glutathione S-transferase P1 (GSTP1) in patients of three nationalities.

Androstenone (5 alpha-androst-16-en-3-one) is a steroid pheromone produced in the testis. Excessive accumulation of androstenone together with skatole (3-methyl-indole) in the adipose tissue of some male pigs leads to "boar taint". In isolated pig hepatocytes androstenone represses the expression of cytochrome P450IIE1 (CYP2E1), the enzyme principally responsible for skatole metabolism.

We investigated the effects of ciprofibrate, a potent peroxisome proliferator, on ethanol metabolism in mice. The blood alcohol levels of mice fed a liquid diet containing both ciprofibrate and ethanol were markedly depressed compared with mice fed the ethanol-containing diet alone. Ciprofibrate markedly induced enoyl-CoA hydratase/3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase, hydrogen peroxide, and to a lesser extent catalase in both control and ethanol-diet fed mice.

We investigated the effects of bile acid feeding on the mRNA levels and transcriptional activity of genes involved in various facets of hepatic cell function. Rats were maintained for 10 days on standard diet supplemented with combinations of 1 and 0.4% deoxycholic acid and ursodeoxycholic acid.
