Summary
Indium pretreatment of rats and mice has been reported to decrease the concentration of cytochrome P-450, thereby reducing the activity of some cytochrome P-450 dependent enzymatic reactions. The present study reveals that pretreatment of C57B1/6JHan mice of both sexes with one s. c. dose of 120 mg of In2(SO4)3 · 5 H2O per kg of body weight decreases the concentration of cytochrome P-450 to about 65% of control levels.
Neither cytochrome b5 nor NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase is affected. Hepatic microsomal ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase activity declines to about 75% of control values. In contrast, with coumarin substrates, a sex dependence in the direction of change is observed: in female mice indium decreases the activity to about 75%, whereas in males it enhances the activity to 140%. Moreover, with 7-(methoxy-14C)coumarin as substrate, indium-pretreated male mice exhale about 180% and females about 65% of 14C02 compared to the corresponding controls. A close correlation between the in vivo and in vitro effects of indium on the metabolism of the coumarin derivatives is suggested. After isolation and purification of cytochrome P-450, SDS-PAGE indicates in indium-pretreated male mice an intensification of a 48.5 kDa protein band which is decreased in females. Immunological studies using antibodies raised against control female cytochrome P-450 show cross reactivity among all microsomes used in these experiments. High percentages of inhibition occur in microsomes with high molecular activity towards coumarin derivatives. The in vitro kinetics of antibody-inhibited O-deethylation of 7-ethoxycoumarin seems to obey a non- or partial-competitive type of inhibition. Indium pretreatment of mice produces sex-dependent effects on the metabolism of coumarin derivatives.
