Exposure of cultured chick-embryo hepatocytes to increasing concentrations of CoCl2 in the presence of allylisopropylacetamide results in formation of cobalt protoporphyrin, with a reciprocal decrease in haem and cytochrome P-450. Treatment of rats with CoCl2 (84 mumol/kg) and 5-aminolaevulinate (0.2 mmol/kg) also results in formation of cobalt protoporphyrin and a decrease in cytochrome P-450 in the liver. Hepatic microsomal fractions from rats treated with phenobarbital, CoCl2 and 5-aminolaevulinate were analysed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Cobalt protoporphyrin was associated mainly with proteins of 50000-53000 mol.wt. The results suggest that the formation of cobalt protoporphyrin occurred at the expense of the synthesis of haem, leading to a decrease in cytochrome P-450. Furthermore, the cobalt protoporphyrin that was formed may itself have been incorporated into apocytochrome P-450.

1. The effects of CoCl2 administration to rats on xenobiotic metabolism, dimethylnitrosamine (DMN) metabolism to formaldehyde and methanol, and monoamine oxidase (MAO) enzyme activities in hepatic subcellular fractions have been studied. 2. CoCl2 treatment markedly decreased hepatic mixed-function oxidase enzyme activities and microsomal cytochrome P-450 content. In contrast, the N-oxidation of N, N-dimethylaniline and the activity of microsomal NADPH-cytochrome c reductase was unaffected. 3. The metabolism of DMN to formaldehyde by postmitochondrial supernatant fractions was decreased at substrate concn. of 0 . 5, 5 and 50 mM by CoCl2 treatment but the metabolism of 5 and 50 mM DMN to methanol was affected less. 4. CoCl2 had little effect on MAO activities in whole homogenates, but microsomal MAO activities were markedly inhibited. 5. The inhibition of microsomal MAO indicates that CoCl2 is not a specific inhibitor of cytochrome P-450-dependent biotransformations and consequently the inhibition of DMN metabolism is not evidence of a wholly cytochrome P-450-dependent process.

In the rat isolated perfused kidney, 5,8,11,14-eicosatetraynoic acid, an inhibitor of all pathways of arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism, diminished endothelin-1 (ET-1)- and angiotensin II (ANG II)-induced renal vasoconstriction by approximately 60-70%. We then examined the individual contribution of each oxygenase, cyclooxygenase (COX), lipoxygenase (LOX), and cytochrome P-450 (CYP) to the vasoconstrictor effects of ET-1 and ANG II. Inhibition of COX with indomethacin reduced by 30-40% the vasoconstrictor responses to ET-1 and ANG II. Inhibition of 12-LOX with baicalein and 5- and 12-LOX with 5,8,11-eicosatriynoic acid attenuated ANG II-induced renal vasoconstriction by approximately 40-60% but did not affect responses to ET-1. In contrast, 12,12-dibromododec-11-enoic acid (DBDD), an inhibitor of the CYP omega/omega 1-hydroxylase pathway, diminished ET-1-induced renal vasoconstriction by 30-40%, an effect reproduced by depletion of CYP enzymes with CoCl2. Neither DBDD nor CoCl2 affected renal vasoconstriction elicited by ANG II. ET-1 increased efflux of 19- and 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid, an effect reduced by DBDD. Thus products of the COX and CYP pathways contribute to the renal vasoconstrictor response to ET-1, whereas COX- and LOX-derived eicosanoids contribute to the response to ANG II, accounting for > or = 80% of the vasoactivity of the peptides.

We evaluated the contribution of cytochrome P-450 (CYP450)-dependent arachidonic acid (AA) metabolites and prostanoids to the renal hemodynamic and tubular effects of endothelin-1 (ET-1) in anesthetized rats. Either ET-1 (0.3, 1.0, and 3 pmol.kg-1.min-1) or vehicle was infused intravenously during two to three 30-min clearance experimental periods. Only high-dose ET-1 increased mean arterial pressure: control, 75 +/- 3 mmHg vs. experimental, 84 +/- 4 mmHg. A dose-dependent diuretic-natriuretic response to ET-1 occurred despite progressive declines in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and renal blood flow. In the face of a 36% reduction in GFR in response to the highest dose of ET-1, urinary sodium excretion (UNaV) increased threefold from 0.57 +/- 0.11 to 1.6 +/- 0.10 mumol.100 g-1.min-1. Indomethacin (5 mg/kg) decreased basal GFR from 1.2 +/- 0.3 ml.100 g-1.min-1 to 0.8 +/- 0.1 ml.100 g-1.min-1 and potentiated the GFR lowering action of ET-1 associated with reductions in UNaV and urine volume. Cobalt chloride (CoCl2) and dibromododec-11-enoic acid (DBDD), which diminish CYP450-dependent AA metabolism through different mechanisms, were used to identify CYP450 products mediating the renal functional actions of ET-1. DBDD (12.5 micrograms/min) reduced urinary excretion of 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid from 3.4 +/- 0.9 (control) to 1.1 +/- 0.6 ng/h and abolished the negative effects of ET-1 on GFR while decreasing the diuretic-natriuretic action of ET-1. Similar effects were produced by CoCl2. Clotrimazole, an inhibitor of epoxygenase activity, was without effect on ET-1-induced renal functional changes. Thus the capacity of ET-1 to enhance prostaglandin production was primarily expressed in terms of positive effects on renal hemodynamics. In contrast, CYP450 products promoted sodium excretion despite negative effects on renal hemodynamics.

Acute systolic arterial hypertension provokes a rapid decrease in proximal tubule sodium reabsorption and diuresis associated with inhibition of renal cortex Na,K-ATPase activity and redistribution of apical membrane Na/H exchanger (NHE-3) to heavier density membranes containing markers of intermicrovillar cleft and endosomes. Because cytochrome P-450-dependent arachidonate metabolites participate in the regulation of renal sodium transport and BP, this study tested the hypothesis that these renal responses to acute hypertension would be prevented if cytochrome P-450 metabolism were inhibited by cobalt chloride (CoCl2). Four groups of rats (n = 4 to 5) were studied: (1) sham-operated; (2) 50 mg of CoCl2/kg subcutaneously for 2 d; (3) acute hypertension by constricting arteries for 5 min; and (4) acute hypertension after CoCl2 treatment as in group 3. Renal cortex was analyzed after sorbitol density gradient fractionation. CoCl2 treatment alone did not significantly affect the rate of urine output, endogenous lithium clearance (an inverse measure of proximal tubule sodium reabsorption), maximal activity of Na,K-ATPase, or subcellular distribution of NHE-3-containing membranes. In non-CoCl2-treated animals, acute hypertension provoked a three- to fourfold increase in urine output and endogenous lithium clearance, 33% inhibition of renal cortex Na,K-ATPase activity, and redistribution of NHE-3 out of the apical membrane peak. In CoCl2-treated animals, acute urine output and endogenous lithium clearance increased only twofold during acute hypertension, there was no inhibition of Na,K-ATPase activity, and there was no redistribution of NHE-3 immunoreactivity to higher density membranes. These findings demonstrate that CoCl2 treatment both attenuates the inhibition of proximal tubule sodium reabsorption and diuresis and abolishes Na,K-ATPase inhibition and NHE-3 redistribution during acute hypertension, evidence that these responses may be mediated by cytochrome P-450 arachidonate metabolites.

Inhibition of cytochrome P-450 (CYP450) enzymes with cobalt chloride (CoCl2) prevented hypertension, organ hypertrophy, and renal injury induced by DOCA and salt (1% NaCl) in uninephrectomized (UNx) rats. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) rose to 193 +/- 6 mmHg by day 21 from control levels of 150 +/- 7 mmHg in response to DOCA-salt treatment, a rise that was prevented by CoCl2 (24 mg. kg-1. 24 h-1). The effects of DOCA-salt treatment, which increased protein excretion to 88.3 +/- 6.9 mg/24 h on day 21 from 9.0 +/- 1.1 mg/24 h on day 3, were prevented by CoCl2. CoCl2 also attenuated the renal and left ventricular hypertrophy and the increase in media-to-lumen ratio in hypertensive rats. DOCA-salt treatment increased excretion of endothelin (ET)-1 from 81 +/- 17 to 277 +/- 104 pg. 100 g body wt-1. 24 h-1 associated with a fourfold increase in 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE) excretion from 3.0 +/- 1.1 to 12.2 +/- 1.9 ng. 100 g body wt-1. 24 h-1 (days 3 vs. 21). CoCl2 blunted these increases by 58 and 72%, respectively. In aortic rings pulsed with [3H]thymidine, ET-1 increased its incorporation. Dibromododec-11-enoic acid, an inhibitor of 20-HETE synthesis, attenuated ET-1-induced increases in [3H]thymidine incorporation. We distinguished effects of CoCl2 acting via CO generation vs. suppression of CYP450-arachidonic acid metabolism by treating UNx-salt-DOCA rats with 1-aminobenzotriazole (ABT), which suppresses CYP450 enzyme activity, and compared these results to those produced by CoCl2. ABT reduced hypertension, as did CoCl2. Unlike CoCl2, ABT did not prevent organ hypertrophy and proteinuria, suggesting that these effects were partially related to CO formation. Blockade of the ETA receptor with BMS-182874 reduced SBP, organ hypertrophy, and proteinuria, indicating the importance of ET-initiated abnormalities to the progression of lesions in UNx-salt-DOCA.

Treatment of male rats with phenobarbital (PB) results in a perivenous and mid-zonal pattern of cytochrome P-450 (CYP)2B1 mRNA expression within the liver acinus. The mechanism of this zonated induction is still poorly understood. In this study sinusoidal gradients of oxygen and epidermal growth factor (EGF) besides those of the pituitary-dependent hormones growth hormone (GH), thyroxine (T4), and triiodothyronine (T3) were considered to be possible determinants for the zonated induction of the CYP2B1 gene in liver. Moreover, heme proteins seem to play a key role in oxygen sensing. Therefore, the influence of arterial (16% O2) and venous (8% O2) oxygen tension (pO2), and of the heme synthesis inhibitors CoCl2 and desferrioxamine (DSF) on PB-dependent CYP2B1 mRNA induction as well as the repression by EGF and, for comparison, by GH, T4, and T3, of the induction under arterial and venous pO2 were investigated in primary rat hepatocytes. Within 3 days, phenobarbital induced CYP2B1 mRNA to maximal levels under arterial pO2 and to about 40% of maximal levels under venous pO2. CoCl2 annihilated induction by PB under both oxygen tensions, whereas desferrioxamine and heme abolished the positive modulation by O2, suggesting that heme is a necessary component for O2 sensing. EGF suppressed CYP2B1 mRNA induction by PB only under arterial but not under venous pO2, whereas GH, T4, and T3 inhibited induction under both arterial and venous pO2. Thus, in hepatocyte cultures, an O2 gradient in conjunction with EGF mimicked the perivenous induction by PB of the CYP2B1 gene observed in the liver in vivo.
