The chick kidney mitochondrial cytochrome P-450 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 24-hydroxylase was partially purified by sequential polyethylene glycol precipitation, aminohexyl-Sepharose 4B, and hydroxylapatite chromatography. The specific activity of the final preparation, when reconstituted with NADPH, adrenodoxin, and adrenodoxin reductase, was 245 pmol/min/mg of protein or 0.56 pmol/min/pmol of P-450. The specific cytochrome P-450 content was 0.45-0.73 nmol/mg of protein. BALB/c mice immunized with this preparation developed serum polyclonal antibodies to the 24-hydroxylase, as demonstrated by immunoprecipitation. Splenic lymphocytes from an immunized mouse were fused with myeloma NSI/1-Ag-4-1 cells, and hybridomas secreting monoclonal antibodies to the 24-hydroxylase were detected by immunoprecipitation. The hybridoma lines were cloned by limiting dilution and further characterized as IgG1, IgG3, and IgM subclasses. In one-dimensional immunoblots of soluble 24-hydroxylase preparations, the monoclonal antibodies revealed a single band with an apparent molecular weight of 59,000. The monoclonal antibodies did not cross-react with cytochrome P-450s from other species but immunoprecipitated and immunoblotted a soluble chick renal mitochondrial 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 1 alpha-hydroxylase preparation, demonstrating the close similarity of these two hydroxylases. These antibodies were coupled to Sepharose CL-4B and used to isolate to homogeneity the two enzymes from chick kidney mitochondria. Amino-terminal sequences and amino acid composition data demonstrate that these enzymes are different but homologous.

The kidney mitochondrial monooxygenases known as 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 1 alpha- and 24R-hydroxylases are two analogous enzymes which utilize the vitamin as a common substrate for the catalytic production of 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and 24R,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3. These two enzymes are complexes of NADPH-ferredoxin reductase, and an (Fe-S)-cluster containing ferredoxin with a redox potential that allows the ultimate transfer of reducing equivalents to the terminal oxidases distinctly known as cytochromes P-450(1) alpha and P-450(24). We have used in vitro immunizations of splenocytes obtained from mice sensitized with the purified cytochrome P-450(1) alpha to generate three hybridoma clones from fusion with p3 x 63.Ag8.653 myeloma ATCC cells which selectively secrete monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) of the IgM class. The MAbs have been partially purified by ammonium sulfate fractionation followed by size separation chromatography on Sephacryl S-200-HR. We have compared the structural similarities and differences between the two kidney enzymes in Western Blot analyses using horseradish peroxidase conjugated goat anti-mouse Igs specific for the heavy and light chains of mouse IgA, IgG and IgM. The MAbs from all three clones recognized and interacted with apparent common epitopes of the two hydroxylases but selectively discriminated against liver microsomal P-450LM2 type and adrenal mitochondrial P-450SCC cytochromes. The cytochromes P-450(1) alpha and P-450(24) were detected as two separate bands with approximate molecular weights of 57 and 55 KDa, respectively. In reconstitution of hydroxylase activities in vitro, the MAbs were equally effective in inhibiting the 1 alpha-hydroxylation and 24R-hydroxylation reactions. The ratio of micrograms of Igs to pmol cytochrome P-450 for a 50% inhibition of either activity was approximately 25. These results, collectively, seem to suggest the existence of a precursor-product relationship between the kidney mitochondrial 1 alpha- and the 24R-hydroxylases, or perhaps, a common ancestral origin. Immunochemical peroxidase anti-peroxidase staining of kidney tissue first exposed to the MAbs revealed that only the proximal tubular segment of the nephron was specifically enriched with the cytochromes.

Ten monoclonal antibodies reactive with a high spin form of rat cytochrome P-448 (P-448-H) were obtained from hybridoma clones established by a fusion between P3X63Ag8.653 mouse myeloma cells and spleen cells of a BALB/c mouse hyperimmunized with the cytochrome. One monoclonal antibody recognized an epitope characteristic for P-448-H. Five monoclonal antibodies were cross-reactive with a low spin form of rat cytochrome P-448, but not with cytochrome P-450. Reactivity of these monoclonal antibodies with microsomes of rats pretreated with drug metabolizing inducers and Western blots of the microsomal cytochrome P-450 components are also demonstrated.

Polyclonal antibody elicited in a rabbit against purified cytochrome P-450cc25, which catalyzes 25-hydroxylation of vitamin D3, inhibited not only 25-hydroxylation of cholecalciferol and 1 alpha-hydroxycholecalciferol, but also 16 alpha- and 2 alpha-hydroxylation of testosterone catalyzed by the purified P-450cc25 preparation. Antibody inhibition experiments with microsomes revealed that most 16 alpha- and 2 alpha-hydroxylation of testosterone and most 25-hydroxylation of cholecalciferol by male rat liver microsomes were catalyzed by P-450cc25. In order to examine the identity of cholecalciferol 25-hydroxylase and testosterone 16 alpha-hydroxylase, monoclonal antibodies recognizing three different epitopes of P-450cc25 were prepared from hybridoma clones produced by fusion of mouse myeloma cells (P3X63Ag8U1) with the spleen cells of immunized BALB/c mouse. All of these monoclonal antibodies inhibited both 25-hydroxylation of 1 alpha-hydroxycholecalciferol and 16 alpha-hydroxylation of testosterone by purified P-450cc25. These observations suggested that immunochemically indistinguishable form(s) of cytochrome P-450 catalyzed both reactions.

Hybridomas were formed from myeloma cells and spleen cells derived from BALB/c female mice immunized with purified liver microsomal cytochrome P-450 2c/RLM5 (P-450 gene IIC11) isolated from untreated adult male rats. Six hybridoma clones produced monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) of the IgM(kappa) type. All the MAbs bound strongly to P-450 2c/RLM5 when measured by radioimmunoassay, and four of the six specifically immunoprecipitated P-450 2c/RLM5 in an Ouchterlony double-immunodiffusion test. These four MAbs also bound but did not immunoprecipitate P-450 RLM3. The MAbs that precipitated P-450 2c/RLM5 neither bound nor precipitated P-450 PB-B (gene IIB1) and P-450 BNF-B (gene IA1) of rats or P-450 LM2 and P-450 LM4 of rabbits. In contrast, mouse polyclonal anti-P-450 2c/RLM5 antibody strongly immunoprecipitated P-450 RLM3 as well as P-450 2c/RLM5 and to a lesser extent P-450 PB-B and P-450 LM2. The MAbs that precipitated P-450 2c/RLM5 also inhibited by more than 90% androstenedione 16 alpha-hydroxylase activity of untreated rat microsomes, but did not inhibit microsomal 6 beta- or 7 alpha-hydroxylation. In addition, complete inhibition of both androstenedione 16 alpha-hydroxylation and testosterone 16 alpha-hydroxylation was observed in a reconstituted system with P-450 2c/RLM5. Androstenedione 6 beta-hydroxylation catalyzed by P-450 2c/RLM5 was also inhibited, whereas P-450 3-catalyzed 7 alpha-hydroxylation was not inhibited by the MAbs. P-450 2c/RLM5 catalyzed 2 alpha-, 16 alpha- and 6 beta-hydroxylation of progesterone in a reconstituted system were also inhibited by the MAb by 60-80%. These MAbs should prove useful for "reaction phenotyping," i.e. for defining the contribution of microsomal P-450 2c/RLM5 to the oxidative metabolism of endogenous steroids and other P-450 substrates in animal and human tissues.

Monoclonal antibodies directed against the cytochrome P-450 catalyzing 25-hydroxylation of C27-steroids and vitamin D3 (Andersson, S., Holmberg, I., and Wikvall, K. (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 6777-6781) have been prepared by immunization of mice in hind footpads. Lymph node cells from the mice were fused with the Sp 2/0-Ag 14 line of mouse myeloma cells. A monoclonal antibody, designated MAb-25-6, monospecific for cytochrome P-450(25) was, after coupling to Sepharose, able to bind to cytochrome P-450(25) and to immunoprecipitate the activity for 25-hydroxylation of 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha,7 alpha,12 alpha-triol and vitamin D3 as well as that for 16 alpha-hydroxylation of testosterone when assayed in a reconstituted system. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of adult male rat liver microsomes and immunoblotting with MAb-25-6 showed a single spot with an apparent isoelectric point of 7.4 and Mr approximately 51,000. By sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting with MAb-25-6, cytochrome P-450(25) was shown to be male-specific and not detectable in adult female rat liver microsomes. N-terminal sequence analysis of cytochrome P-450(25) showed a structure identical with that of the male-specific steroid 16 alpha-hydroxylase isolated in several laboratories.

Hybridomas were prepared from mouse myeloma cells and spleen cells derived from female BALB/c mice that had been immunized with a partially purified ethanol-induced rat liver cytochrome P-450 (P-450et). Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) produced by the hybridomas were screened for binding to P-450et with a radioimmunoassay. Thirty-one independent hybrid clones produced MAbs that had a high affinity for P-450et. Each clone produced MAbs of a single subclass of the mouse immunoglobulins IgG1, IgG2a, IgM, or IgA. Ten of the 31 MAbs also immunoprecipitated P-450et as determined by Ouchterlony double-immunodiffusion analyses. One of the MAbs was tested for cross-reactivity with other rabbit and rat liver cytochromes P-450 and was found not to cross-react with rat liver P-450 induced by either phenobarbital, beta-naphthoflavone, or rabbit liver P-450LM2 or P-450LM4. Nine of the MAbs were tested for cross-reactivity with rat liver clofibrate-induced P-450, rat liver pregnenolone-16-alpha-carbonitrile-induced P-450, and a human liver P-450. All the MAbs showed no cross-reactivity except for one MAb which cross-reacted with both pregnenolone-16-alpha-carbonitrile and human P-450 and three MAbs which cross-reacted with human P-450. Three antigen-precipitating MAbs and four nonprecipitating MAbs were tested for their effects on the aniline p-hydroxylase activity of liver microsomes of untreated rats and from rats treated with acetone, pyrazole, methylpyrazole, or imidazole. One of the seven MAbs tested, 1-91-3, inhibited enzyme activity of acetone-, pyrazole-, or methylpyrazole-induced microsomes by 54, 47, and 48%, respectively. This indicates that at least 50% of microsomal cytochrome P-450 aniline p-hydroxylase activity in the latter is a function of a P-450 enzyme that contained the epitope to which the MAb 1-91-3 is directed. With untreated and imidazole-induced microsomes, 32 and 21% inhibition of the enzyme activity was observed. In reconstituted systems containing phospholipid and NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase, MAb 1-91-3 inhibited aniline p-hydroxylase activity of purified ethanol-induced P-450et and acetone-induced P-450 by more than 90%. Nitrosodimethylamine demethylase activity of acetone-induced rat microsomes was inhibited by the various MAbs up to 77% and the activity of the purified acetone-induced P-450 was inhibited up to 92%.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Hybridomas were prepared from mouse myeloma cells and spleen cells derived from BALB/c female mice immunized with purified rat hepatic pregnenolone 16-alpha-carbonitrile (PCN) induced cytochrome P-450 2a/PCN-E. The monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) thus obtained were screened for binding to the purified P-450 2a/PCN-E by radioimmunoassay. Eleven independent hybrid clones produced MAbs, each of which was of a single mouse immunoglobulin subclass of the IgG1, IgG2a or IgG2b type. Each of the MAbs produced by the eleven individual hybrid clones bound strongly to P-450 2a/PCN-E as assessed by radioimmunoassay and immunoprecipitation of P-450 2a/PCN-E in Ouchterlony double-immunodiffusion plates. Of the eleven MAbs, three also bound strongly to the phenobarbital-inducible rat liver cytochrome P-450 PB-4. Thus, two classes of MAbs were obtained, one class specific for P-450 2a/PCN-E and a second class that bound to both PCN- and phenobarbital-inducible P-450 forms. The reactivities of one MAb from each class toward eight highly purified rat hepatic cytochromes P-450 were examined using solid phase enzyme-linked immunosorbent analyses. The MAb designated C2 was found to be specific for P-450 2a/PCN-E and did not cross-react with seven other P-450 forms. This MAb was shown to be an effective probe for monitoring, by Western blotting, the induction of microsomal P-450 2a/PCN-E by PCN and phenobarbital. The MAb designated C1 reacted both with P-450 2a/PCN-E and with the two major phenobarbital-inducible P-450 forms, PB-4 and PB-5. None of the MAbs was inhibitory towards P-450 2a/PCN-E-dependent aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase, benzphetamine N-demethylase, ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase or ethymorphine N-demethylase activity, indicating that the epitopes recognized by these MAbs are not directly associated with catalytic activity. The strong reactivities of three of the MAbs with both P-450 2a/PCN-E and P-450s PB-4 and PB-5 indicate that these two structurally quite different cytochrome P-450 families share at least one common epitope. These new MAbs are additions to our library of MAbs to different cytochromes P-450 and should help further our understanding of the relationship of cytochrome P-450 phenotype and multiplicity to inter-individual differences in drug and carcinogen metabolism and sensitivity.

Somatic cell hybrids were made between mouse myeloma cells and spleen cells derived from BALB/c female mice immunized with purified phenobarbital-induced rat liver cytochrome P-450 (PB-P-450). Hybridomas were selected in HAT medium, and the monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) produced were screened for binding to the PB-P-450 by radioimmunoassay, for immunoprecipitation of the PB-P-450, and for inhibition of PB-P-450-catalyzed enzyme activity. In two experiments, MAbs of the IgM and IgG1 were produced that bound and, in certain cases, precipitated PB-P-450. None of these MAbs, however, inhibited the PB-P-450-dependent aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) activity. In two other experiments, MAbs to PB-P-450 were produced that bound, precipitated and, in several cases, strongly or completely inhibited the AHH and 7-ethoxycoumarin deethylase (ECD) activities PB-P-450. These MAbs showed no activity toward the purified 3-methylcholanthrene-induced cytochrome P-450 (MC-P-450), beta-naphthoflavone-induced cytochrome P-450 (BNF-P-450) or pregnenolone 16-alpha-carbonitrile-induced cytochrome P-450 (PCN-P-450) in respect to RIA determined binding, immunoprecipitation, or inhibition of AHH activity. One of the monoclonal antibodies, MAb 2-66-3, inhibited the AHH activity of liver microsomes from PB-treated rats by 43% but did not inhibit the AHH activity of liver microsomes from control, BNF-, or MC-treated rats. The MAb 2-66-3 also inhibited ECD in microsomes from PB-treated rats by 22%. The MAb 2-66-3 showed high cross-reactivity for binding, immuno-precipitation and inhibition of enzyme activity of PB-induced cytochrome P-450 from rabbit liver (PB-P-450LM2). Two other MAbs, 4-7-1 and 4-29-5, completely inhibited the AHH of the purified PB-P-450. MAbs to different cytochromes P-450 will be of extraordinary usefulness for a variety of studies including phenotyping of individuals, species, and tissues and for the genetic analysis of P-450s as well as for the direct assay, purification, and structure determination of various cytochromes P-450.

Spleen cells from a BALB/cByJ mouse previously immunized with purified rat liver microsomal cytochrome P-450c were fused with myeloma cells (P3X63Ag8.653) and 10 hybridoma clones secreting antibody against cytochrome P-450c were selected for characterization. The monoclonal antibodies (C1-C10) were purified from mouse ascites fluid and nine were determined to be distinct immunoglobulins. C6 was an IgG2b, whereas the rest were of the IgG1 subclass. A competitive enzyme-linked immunoassay was used to show that the antibodies were directed against at least five spatially distinct epitopes on cytochrome P-450c. Additional evidence for the recognition of distinct epitopes was provided by Ouchterlony immunoprecipitation of cytochrome P-450c with mixtures of appropriate monoclonal antibodies. Differences in antibody reactivity provided evidence for a sixth overlapping epitope that was recognized by two antibodies (C4 and C6). Three monoclonal antibodies to the same epitope on cytochrome P-450c, (CD2, CD3, and CD5) cross-reacted strongly with cytochrome P-450d, another isozyme induced by 3-methylcholanthrene treatment of rats. The antibodies that did not cross-react with cytochrome P-450d contained kappa light chains, whereas the three cross-reacting antibodies contained lambda light chains. None of the monoclonal antibodies cross-reacted with purified cytochromes P-450a, P-450b, P-450e, P-450f, P-450g, or P-450h or any other cytochrome P-450 in "Western blots" of liver microsomes from untreated or 3-methylcholanthrene-treated rats. C8 was a potent inhibitor of metabolism catalyzed by cytochrome P-450c in a reconstituted system as well as microsomes from 3-methylcholanthrene-treated rats. This antibody effected maximal inhibition of catalytic activity at an approximately 0.5:1 molar ratio of IgG to cytochrome P-450c, i.e. one antibody-binding site per epitope on cytochrome P-450c.
