biomonitoring the cooked meat carcinogen 2 amino 1 methyl 6 phenylimidazo 4 5 b pyridine in hair impact of exposure hair pigmentation and Cytochrome P450 1A2 phenotype
Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers & Prevention, 2013Co-Authors: Robert J Turesky, Lin Liu, Kim Yonemori, Kami K White, Lynne R Wilkens, Loic Le MarchandAbstract:Background: Hair is a promising tissue to assess exposure to 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5- b ]pyridine (PhIP), a carcinogen formed in cooked meats. However, an understanding of how dietary exposure to PhIP, Cytochrome P450 1A2 activity—a key enzyme involved in PhIP metabolism, and hair pigmentation affect the level of PhIP accrued in hair is required to determine the reliability of the PhIP hair level as a biomarker of exposure to this carcinogen. Methods: We examined the impact of PhIP exposure, Cytochrome P450 1A2 activity, and hair pigmentation on the levels of PhIP accumulated in the hair of volunteers on a 4-week semicontrolled diet of cooked meat containing known quantities of PhIP. Results: The amount of PhIP in hair increased, on average, 15-fold in light- and dark-haired individuals during consumption of cooked meat. PhIP levels in hair were correlated to PhIP intake ( ρ = 0.53; P < 0.001), and the relationship was strengthened when PhIP levels were normalized for the melanin content of hair ( ρ = 0.71; P < 0.001). However, PhIP accrual in hair was not correlated to Cytochrome P450 1A2 activity, as assessed by the caffeine test, or to the levels of unmetabolized PhIP in urine or to the metabolic ratio of the major urinary metabolite N 2-(β-1-glucosiduronyl-2-(hydroxyamino)-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5- b ]pyridine to unmetabolized PhIP. Conclusions: The use of the PhIP hair biomarker should take hair pigmentation into account for accurate exposure assessment of PhIP. Impact: PhIP hair levels can serve as a biomarker in epidemiologic studies investigating the association of heterocyclic aromatic amine (HAA), cooked meat, and cancer risk.

metabolism of 2 amino 3 8 dimethylimidazo 4 5 f quinoxaline in human hepatocytes 2 amino 3 methylimidazo 4 5 f quinoxaline 8 carboxylic acid is a major detoxification pathway catalyzed by Cytochrome P450 1A2
Chemical Research in Toxicology, 2001Co-Authors: Sophie Langouet, F P Guengerich, Dieter H Welti, Nathalie Kerriguy, Laurent B Fay, T Huynhba, Jovanka Markovic, Andre Guillouzo, Robert J TureskyAbstract:Metabolic pathways of the mutagen 2-amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline (MeIQx) remain incompletely characterized in humans. In this study, the metabolism of MeIQx was investigated in primary human hepatocytes. Six metabolites were characterized by UV and mass spectroscopy. Novel metabolites were additionally characterized by 1H NMR spectroscopy. The carcinogenic metabolite, 2-(hydroxyamino)-3,8-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline, which is formed by Cytochrome P450 1A2 (P450 1A2), was found to be transformed into the N(2)-glucuronide conjugate, N(2)-(beta-1-glucosiduronyl)-2-(hydroxyamino)-3,8-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline. The phase II conjugates N(2)-(3,8-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxalin-2-yl)sulfamic acid and N(2)-(beta-1-glucosiduronyl)-2-amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline, as well as the 7-oxo derivatives of MeIQx and N-desmethyl-MeIQx, 2-amino-3,8-dimethyl-6-hydro-7H-imidazo[4,5-f]quinoxalin-7-one (7-oxo-MeIQx), and 2-amino-6-hydro-8-methyl-7H-imidazo[4,5-f]quinoxalin-7-one (N-desmethyl-7-oxo-MeIQx), thought to be formed exclusively by the intestinal flora, were also identified. A novel metabolite was characterized as 2-amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline-8-carboxylic acid (IQx-8-COOH), and it was the predominant metabolite formed in hepatocytes exposed to MeIQx at levels approaching human exposure. IQx-8-COOH formation is catalyzed by P450 1A2. This metabolite is a detoxication product and does not induce umuC gene expression in Salmonella typhimurium strain NM2009. IQx-8-COOH is also the principal oxidation product of MeIQx excreted in human urine [Turesky, R., et al. (1998) Chem. Res. Toxicol. 11, 217-225]. Thus, P450 1A2 is involved in both the metabolic activation and detoxication of this procarcinogen in humans. Analogous metabolism experiments were conducted with hepatocytes of untreated rats and rats pretreated with the P450 inducer 3-methylcholanthrene. Unlike human hepatocytes, the rat cell preparations did not produce IQx-8-COOH but catalyzed the formation of 2-amino-3,8-dimethyl-5-hydroxyimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline as a major P450-mediated detoxication product. In conclusion, our results provide evidence of a novel MeIQx metabolism pathway in humans through P450 1A2-mediated C(8)-oxidation of MeIQx to form IQx-8-COOH. This biotransformation pathway has not been detected in experimental animal species. Considerable interspecies differences exist in the metabolism of MeIQx by P450s, which may affect the biological activity of this mutagen and must be considered when assessing human health risk.

selection and characterization of human Cytochrome P450 1A2 mutants with altered catalytic properties
Biochemistry, 1999Co-Authors: A Parikh, P D Josephy, F P GuengerichAbstract:Random mutagenesis is an approach that has the potential to provide useful information about Cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes but has not been extensively used to date. We applied our previously developed systems for generation of random libraries of human P450 1A2 with the putative substrate recognition sequences mutated (individual residues) and an Escherichia coli genotoxity assay involving reversion to lac prototrophy as a response to activation of the heterocyclic amine 2-amino-3,5-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (MeIQ). A total of 27 mutants were screened from 6000 clones, a small portion of the library. The sequence changes were identified, and E. coli membranes containing each P450 (with NADPH−P450 reductase expressed using a bicistronic vector) were used to determine kcat and Km values for 7-ethoxyresorufin and phenacetin O-deethylation and the (in vitro) activation of MeIQ with another bacterial genotoxicity system (Salmonella typhimurium umu). Within each assay, the values of kcat/Km varied by 2 ...

metabolic activation of aromatic amine mutagens by simultaneous expression of human Cytochrome P450 1A2 nadph Cytochrome P450 reductase and n acetyltransferase in escherichia coli
Chemical Research in Toxicology, 1998Co-Authors: P D Josephy, D H Evans, A Parikh, F P GuengerichAbstract:We describe the construction of a new strain of Escherichia coli designed to bioactivate aromatic amines and to detect their mutagenicity with high sensitivity. Strain DJ4309 bears two plasmids, a pACYC184-derived plasmid which expresses Salmonella typhimurium acetyl CoA:arylamine N-acetyltransferase (NAT) and a pBR322-derived plasmid which expresses human Cytochrome P450 1A2 and NADPH-Cytochrome P450 reductase. The combined actions of these enzymes convert aromatic amines into reactive, mutagenic N-acetoxy esters. The strain also carries a mutated copy of the lacZ gene (on an F‘ factor) which reverts to the wild-type gene by a −(GpC) frameshift mutation. Strain DJ4309 expresses high levels of NAT and Cytochrome P450 1A2 and is very sensitive to mutagenesis induced by representative aromatic amines. Mutagenicity of 2-aminoanthracene in strain DJ4309 is higher than can be obtained by rat liver homogenate 9000g supernatant (S9) activation in the parent strain lacking the P450 expression vector. Strain DJ430...

The carcinogenic metabolite, 2-(hydroxyamino)-3,8-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline, which is formed by Cytochrome P450 1A2 (P450 1A2), was found to be transformed into the N(2)-glucuronide conjugate, N(2)-(beta-1-glucosiduronyl)-2-(hydroxyamino)-3,8-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline. The phase II conjugates N(2)-(3,8-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxalin-2-yl)sulfamic acid and N(2)-(beta-1-glucosiduronyl)-2-amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline, as well as the 7-oxo derivatives of MeIQx and N-desmethyl-MeIQx, 2-amino-3,8-dimethyl-6-hydro-7H-imidazo[4,5-f]quinoxalin-7-one (7-oxo-MeIQx), and 2-amino-6-hydro-8-methyl-7H-imidazo[4,5-f]quinoxalin-7-one (N-desmethyl-7-oxo-MeIQx), thought to be formed exclusively by the intestinal flora, were also identified. A novel metabolite was characterized as 2-amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline-8-carboxylic acid (IQx-8-COOH), and it was the predominant metabolite formed in hepatocytes exposed to MeIQx at levels approaching human exposure. IQx-8-COOH formation is catalyzed by P450 1A2. This metabolite is a detoxication product and does not induce umuC gene expression in Salmonella typhimurium strain NM2009. IQx-8-COOH is also the principal oxidation product of MeIQx excreted in human urine [Turesky, R., et al. (1998) Chem. Res. Toxicol. 11, 217-225]. Thus, P450 1A2 is involved in both the metabolic activation and detoxication of this procarcinogen in humans. Analogous metabolism experiments were conducted with hepatocytes of untreated rats and rats pretreated with the P450 inducer 3-methylcholanthrene. Unlike human hepatocytes, the rat cell preparations did not produce IQx-8-COOH but catalyzed the formation of 2-amino-3,8-dimethyl-5-hydroxyimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline as a major P450-mediated detoxication product. In conclusion, our results provide evidence of a novel MeIQx metabolism pathway in humans through P450 1A2-mediated C(8)-oxidation of MeIQx to form IQx-8-COOH. This biotransformation pathway has not been detected in experimental animal species. Considerable interspecies differences exist in the metabolism of MeIQx by P450s, which may affect the biological activity of this mutagen and must be considered when assessing human health risk.
