Succinic dehydrogenase (SDH) and adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity measured 21 days after 3 intraperitoneal injections of di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) was decreased in heart, lung and kidney while it remained unaltered in brain. Under in vitro conditions, only SDH was sensitive to DEHP, degree of inhibition being concentration-dependent. DEHP solubilized with Tween 80 inhibited the SDH activity significantly at small concentrations of 5 to 25 ppm. ATPase activity was not modified.

Development of preneoplastic lesions in the rat liver under the influence of various modifiers was investigated with particular attention to changes in simultaneous expression of altered enzyme phenotype within the lesions (conformity) and proliferation potential. Degree of conformity of marker enzymes such as glutathione S-transferase placental form (GST-P), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), glucose-6-phosphatase, adenosine triphosphatase and gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase was compared with levels of 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine labeling. After initiation with diethylnitrosamine, rats were administered the hepatopromoter sodium phenobarbital (PB, 0.05%), the antioxidant ethoxyquin (EQ, 0.5%), or a peroxisome proliferator, clofibrate (CF, 1.0%) or di(2-ethylhexyl)-phthalate (0.3%) and killed at week 16 or 32. The PB promoting regimen was clearly associated with increase in the numbers of high conformity class lesions simultaneously expressing three to five enzymes, and elevated proliferation potential. The inhibitor, EQ, in contrast, brought about a time-dependent decrease in conformity so that only 1 or 2 alterations were most commonly observed at week 32. Lesion populations in the peroxisome proliferator- and especially CF-treated cases were characterized by obvious dissociation between degree of conformity and proliferative status. Such treatment-dependent differences were not always correlated with the size of the lesion. The results thus suggested that the conformity and proliferation potential of preneoplastic lesions are dependent on modification treatment. Overall, GST-P was found to be the most reliable marker, although G6PD was less influenced in the peroxisome proliferator cases.

The livers of rats given either the peroxisome proliferating hepatocarcinogen di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) following initiation by 2-acetylaminofluorene (AAF) or the neoplasm promoter phenobarbital (PB) were studied for changes in 8 histochemical properties. Male F344 rats were fed 200 ppm AAF for 7 weeks to induce hepatocellular altered foci, and were then fed diets containing either no chemical, 12,000 ppm DEHP or 500 ppm PB for 24 weeks. In hepatocytes, DEHP increased alkaline phosphatase activity throughout the lobule, but reduced gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) activity in periportal hepatocytes. PB, in contrast, increased GGT activity in periportal hepatocytes. In foci that were induced by AAF, DEHP reduced the histochemical activity of GGT and did not increase the number, mean volume or volume % of foci detected by deficiencies in iron storage, glucose-6-phosphatase, adenosine triphosphatase or fibronectin. PB enhanced the expression of all 8 phenotypic abnormalities in foci such that either more profiles were detected or the area of foci was increased.

The effect of di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) on diethylnitrosamine (DEN)-initiated preneoplastic liver lesions with expression of gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGTase) and loss of adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) as well as alterations of hepatic carbohydrate metabolism in male and female Sprague-Dawley rats have been investigated. Two treatment schedules have been compared with respect to their sensitivity by the histochemical demonstration of preneoplastic islands and by the biochemical determination of alterations in enzyme activities of liver homogenates and of serum, the last indicating hepatotoxicity. For initiation, a single dose of DEN was given, followed by treatment with various doses of DEHP given three times weekly by gavage for 7 or 11 consecutive weeks. As histochemical enzyme markers, the expression of positive GGTase as well as the deficiency in ATPase were used for identification of liver foci. The weanling female rats (protocol A) were found to be more sensitive to the carcinogenic effect of DEN in view of foci incidence than the mature male rats which underwent partial hepatectomy prior to DEN application. The administration of 200 mg DEHP/kg body wt increased the incidence of ATPase-deficient foci in both male and female rats; however, concentrations of 1000 and 2000 mg DEHP/kg decreased the incidence of liver foci. The number of foci with expression of GGTase was only slightly increased in female rats following a DEHP concentration of 50 mg/kg, and 200 mg/kg body wt. DEHP alone did not induce preneoplastic lesions that could be identified by these two markers. Biochemical investigations indicate that DEHP alters the metabolic pattern in liver. An increase of the NADP-linked enzymes glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH), malic enzyme, extra-mitochondrial ICDH as well as an enhancement of NAD-dependent alpha-G3PDH and lactate dehydrogenase were found following DEHP administration. On the other hand the glycolytic enzymes pyruvate kinase (PK) and enolase as well as the gluconeogenetic enzyme fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) were significantly reduced. In protocol B (male rats) the reactions of PK, FBPase and malic enzyme were more altered after DEHP exposure than in protocol A, while the activity of G6PDH was more increased in protocol A. Most enzymes being involved in the carbohydrate metabolism are influenced by DEHP in a dose-dependent manner. There was no increase in serum FBPase activity in both male and female rats after DEHP treatment but a reduction of glutamate-oxalate-transaminase and glutamate-pyruvate-transaminase activities was observed.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
