a comprehensive investigation of 2 amino 1 methyl 6 phenylimidazo 4 5 b pyridine PhIP metabolism in the mouse using a multivariate data analysis approach
Chemical Research in Toxicology, 2007Co-Authors: Chi Chen, Michael A. Malfatti, James S. Felton, Jeffrey R Idle, Kristopher W Krausz, Shioko Kimura, Frank J GonzalezAbstract:2-Amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP) is a potent rodent carcinogen and a potential human carcinogen because of its existence in the normal human diet. N2-OH-PhIP, a major PhIP metabolite, has been identified as a precursor of genotoxic species. In vitro data supported the view that CYP1A2 is the major enzyme responsible for the formation of N2-OH-PhIP. However, disruption of the CYP1A2 gene in mouse failed to inhibit PhIP-induced carcinogenesis. To investigate the mechanism underlying this observation, the metabolism of PhIP in wild-type, Cyp1a2-null, and CYP1A2-humanized mice was examined in detail using a metabolomic approach. Following data acquisition in a high-resolution LC-MS system, urinary metabolomes of the control and PhIP-treated mice were characterized in a principal component analysis (PCA) model. Comprehensive metabolite profiles of PhIP in high dose (10 mg/kg) and low dose (100 μg/kg) were established through analyzing urinary ions contributing to the separation of three m...

mouse lung cyp1a1 catalyzes the metabolic activation of 2 amino 1 methyl 6 phenylimidazo 4 5 b pyridine PhIP
Carcinogenesis, 2006Co-Authors: Jeffrey R Idle, Michael A. Malfatti, James S. Felton, Kristopher W Krausz, Daniel W Nebert, Chong Sheng Chen, David J Waxman, Frank J GonzalezAbstract:2-Amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP) carcinogenesis is initiated by N(2)-hydroxylation, mediated by several cytochromes P450, including CYP1A1. However, the role of CYP1A1 in PhIP metabolic activation in vivo is unclear. In this study, Cyp1a1-null and wild-type (WT) mice were used to investigate the potential role of CYP1A1 in PhIP metabolic activation in vivo. PhIP N(2)-hydroxylation was actively catalyzed by lung homogenates of WT mice, at a rate of 14.9 +/- 5.0 pmol/min/g tissue, but <1 pmol/min/g tissue in stomach and small intestine, and almost undetectable in mammary gland and colon. PhIP N(2)-hydroxylation catalyzed by lung homogenates of Cyp1a1-null mice was approximately 10-fold lower than that of WT mice. In contrast, PhIP N(2)-hydroxylation activity in lung homogenates of Cyp1a2-null versus WT mice was not decreased. Pretreatment with 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin increased lung Cyp1a1 mRNA and lung homogenate PhIP N(2)-hydroxylase activity approximately 50-fold in WT mice, where the activity was substantially inhibited (70%) by monoclonal antibodies against CYP1A1. In vivo, 30 min after oral treatment with PhIP, PhIP levels in lung were similar to those in liver. After a single dose of 0.1 mg/kg [(14)C]PhIP, lung PhIP-DNA adduct levels in Cyp1a1-null mice, but not in Cyp1a2-null mice, were significantly lower (P = 0.0028) than in WT mice. These results reveal that mouse lung has basal and inducible PhIP N(2)-hydroxylase activity predominantly catalyzed by CYP1A1. Because of the high inducibility of human CYP1A1, especially in cigarette smokers, the role of lung CYP1A1 in PhIP carcinogenesis should be considered. (237 words).

PhIP metabolites in human urine after consumption of well-cooked chicken.
Journal of chromatography. B Analytical technologies in the biomedical and life sciences, 2004Co-Authors: Kristen S Kulp, Mark G. Knize, Cynthia P Salmon, N.d. Fowler, James S. FeltonAbstract:We devised an assay to quantify the metabolites of 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP) in human urine following a single exposure to well-cooked meat. Our method uses LC/MS/MS to detect four metabolites and four deuterated internal standard peaks in a single chromatographic run. N2-OH-PhIP-N2-glucuronide was the most abundant urinary metabolite excreted by the 12 individuals who participated in our study. N2-PhIP glucuronide was the second most abundant metabolite for 8 of the 12 volunteers. The stability of PhIP metabolism over time was studied in three of the volunteers who repeated the assay eight times over a 2.5 year-period. PhIP metabolite excretion varied in each subject over time, although the rate of excretion was more constant. Our results suggest that quantifying PhIP metabolites should make future studies of individual susceptibility and dietary interventions possible.

Human UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 is the primary enzyme responsible for the N-glucuronidation of N-hydroxy-PhIP in vitro.
Chemical research in toxicology, 2004Co-Authors: Michael A. Malfatti, James S. FeltonAbstract:UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A proteins (UGT1A) catalyze the glucuronidation of many endogenous and xenobiotic compounds including heterocyclic amines and their hydroxylated metabolites. Studies have shown that in humans UGT1A-mediated glucuronidation is an important pathway in the detoxification of food-borne carcinogenic heterocyclic amines. The biotransformation of 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP), the most mass abundant heterocyclic amine found in cooked meats, is highly dependent on cytochrome P4501A2 hydroxylation followed by UGT-catalyzed glucuronidation of the N-hydroxy-PhIP reactive intermediate. To determine which UGT1A proteins are involved in the glucuronidation of N-hydroxy-PhIP, microsomal preparations from baculovirus-infected insect cells that express all of the known functional human UGT1A isozymes (UGT1A1, -1A3, -1A4, -1A6, -1A7, -1A8, -1A9, and -1A10) were exposed to N-hydroxy-PhIP and the reaction products were isolated by HPLC. All UGT1A proteins except UGT1A6 showed some degree of activity toward N-hydroxy-PhIP. The formation of both N-hydroxy-PhIP-N(2)-glucuronide and N-hydroxy-PhIP-N3-glucuronide was both time- and substrate concentration-dependent. UGT1A1 was the most efficient in converting N-hydroxy-PhIP to both conjugates producing five times more of the N(2)-conjugate than UGT1A4, the next most active UGT, and 286 times more than UGT1A7, the least active UGT. With an apparent K(m) of 52 microM and a K(cat) of 114 min(-)(1), UGT1A1 was also the most catalytically efficient in forming N-hydroxy-PhIP-N(2)-glucuronide. The catalytic efficiency for N-hydroxy-PhIP-N3-glucuronide formation was 8, 10, and 6 times lower for UGT1A1, -1A4, and -1A8, respectively, when compared to the K(cat) values for N-hydroxy-PhIP-N(2)-glucuronide formation. These results clearly show that UGT1A1 has the highest specificity for glucuronidating N-hydroxy-PhIP. Polymorphic expression resulting in decreased UGT1A1 activity in humans can cause reduced rates of glucuronidation, which can change the metabolic ratio between bioactivation and detoxification to favor bioactivation. This change will increase the susceptibility to the deleterious effects from PhIP exposure because the capacity to form nontoxic N-hydroxy-PhIP glucuronide conjugates will be diminished.

Factors affecting human heterocyclic amine intake and the metabolism of PhIP.
Mutation research, 2002Co-Authors: Mark G. Knize, Kristen S Kulp, Cynthia P Salmon, Garrett A Keating, James S. FeltonAbstract:We are working to understand possible human health effects from exposure to heterocyclic amines that are formed in meat during cooking. Laboratory-cooked beef, pork, and chicken are capable of producing tens of nanograms of MeIQx, IFP, and PhIP per gram of meat and smaller amounts of other heteroyclic amines. Well-done restaurant-cooked beef, pork, and chicken may contain PhIP and IFP at concentrations as high as tens of nanograms per gram and MeIQx at levels up to 3 ng/g. Although well-done chicken breast prepared in the laboratory may contain large amounts of PhIP, a survey of flame-grilled meat samples cooked in private homes showed PhIP levels in beef steak and chicken breast are not significantly different (P=0.36). The extremely high PhIP levels reported in some studies of grilled chicken are not seen in home-cooked samples.Many studies suggest individuals may have varying susceptibility to carcinogens and that diet may influence metabolism, thus affecting cancer susceptibility. To understand the human metabolism of PhIP, we examined urinary metabolites of PhIP in volunteers following a single well-done meat exposure. Using solid-phase extraction and LC/MS/MS, we quantified four major PhIP metabolites in human urine. In addition to investigating individual variation, we examined the interaction of PhIP with a potentially chemopreventive food. In a preliminary study of the effect of broccoli on PhIP metabolism, we fed chicken to six volunteers before and after eating steamed broccoli daily for 3 days. Preliminary results suggest that broccoli, which contains isothiocyanates shown to induce Phases I and II metabolism in vitro, may affect both the rate of metabolite excretion and the metabolic products of a dietary carcinogen. This newly developed methodology will allow us to assess prevention strategies that reduce the possible risks associated with PhIP exposure.

carcinogenesis of the food mutagen PhIP in mice is independent of cyp1a2
Carcinogenesis, 2003Co-Authors: Shioko Kimura, Fred F Kadlubar, Mayumi Kawabe, Hideki Morishima, Pedro M Fernandezsalguero, George Hammons, Jerrold M Ward, Frank J GonzalezAbstract:2-Amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP) is the most abundant of the heterocyclic amines found in cooked meat. Based on in vitro studies with rats and humans, CYP1A2 is believed to be the primary enzyme responsible for N 2 -hydroxylation, the initial step in the metabolic activation of PhIP. To determine whether CYP1A2 is the primary P450 responsible for metabolic activation of PhIP in mice that leads to tumor formation, neonatal Cyp1a2-null and wild-type mice were treated with ~11 (low dose) and ~22 (high dose) mg/kg PhIP at days 8 and 15, corresponding cumulatively to 600 and 1200 nmol PhIP, and analyzed at 19–21 months of age. Three major induced tumors were found; lymphomas and tumors in lung and liver. The incidence of lymphoma was higher in Cyp1a2-null females than wild-type females treated with low dose (600 nmol) PhIP whereas no significant differences were observed in other treatment groups of mice. Overall differences in incidences of lung adenoma/adenocarcinoma were in general not consistent among sexes, genotypes and PhIP doses used, although reduced incidences of lung tumors were found in Cyp1a2-null males with low dose (600 nmol) and null females with high dose (1200 nmol) PhIP. Higher incidences of hepatocellular adenoma were observed in Cyp1a2-null female and male mice as compared with wild-type mice. In vitro studies using Cyp1a2-null and wild-type mouse liver microsomes revealed that CYP1A2 is the major enzyme required for PhIP N 2 -hydroxylation in mouse, the initial metabolic activation of PhIP that is thought to lead to tumor formation. These in vivo and in vitro results suggest that although the metabolic activation of PhIP is carried out primarily by CYP1A2, an unknown pathway unrelated to CYP1A2 appears to be

Direct reduction of N-acetoxy-PhIP by tea polyphenols: a possible mechanism for chemoprevention against PhIP-DNA adduct formation.
Mutation research, 2003Co-Authors: Dong-xin Lin, Patricia A Thompson, Candee Teitel, Jun-shi Chen, Fred F KadlubarAbstract:The chemopreventive effect of tea against 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP)-DNA adduct formation and its mechanism were studied. Rats were exposed to freshly prepared aqueous extracts of green tea (3% (w/v)) as the sole source of drinking water for 10 days prior to administration with a single dose of PhIP (10 mg/kg body weight) by oral gavage. PhIP-DNA adducts in the liver, colon, heart, and lung were measured using the 32P-postlabelling technique. Rats pre-treated with tea and given PhIP 20 h before sacrifice had significantly reduced levels of PhIP-DNA adducts as compared with controls given PhIP alone. The possible mechanism of protective effect of tea on PhIP-DNA adduct formation was then examined in vitro. It was found that an aqueous extract of green and black tea, mixtures of green and black tea polyphenols, as well as purified polyphenols could strongly inhibit the DNA binding of N-acetoxy-PhIP, a putative ultimate carcinogen of PhIP formed in vivo via metabolic activation. Among these, epigallocatechin gallate was exceptionally potent. HPLC analyses of these incubation mixtures containing N-acetoxy-PhIP and the tea polyphenols each revealed the production of the parent amine, PhIP, indicating the involvement of a redox mechanism. In view of the presence of relatively high levels of tea polyphenols in rat and human plasma after ingestion of tea, this study suggests that direct reduction of the ultimate carcinogen N-acetoxy-PhIP by tea polyphenols is likely to be involved in the mechanism of chemoprotection of tea against this carcinogen.

metabolic activation and dna adduct detection of PhIP in dogs rats and humans in relation to urinary bladder and colon carcinogenesis
Princess Takamatsu symposia, 1995Co-Authors: Fred F Kadlubar, Rodney F Minchin, Candee H Teitel, Marlin D Friesen, Dong-xin Lin, R K Kaderlik, G J Mulder, M A Butler, K F Ilett, H BartschAbstract:The metabolic activation of the heterocyclic amine carcinogen, 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP), was examined in dogs and rats as models for urinary bladder and colon carcinogenesis, respectively. The results indicate that unconjugated N-OH-PhIP is not excreted in the urine after oral dosing with PhIP and that the two isomeric N-glucuronides of N-OH-PhIP, which are formed as major metabolites, are stable under acidic conditions. These data suggest that PhIP is unlikely to serve as a urinary bladder carcinogen in either species. Using metabolic inhibitors, bile duct ligation, and intravenous dosing studies, a new hypothesis for colorectal carcinogenesis is proposed involving N-oxidation of PhIP by hepatic cytochrome P-4501A2 (CYP1A2) and O-acetylation by the polymorphic acetyltransferase (NAT2). The resulting N-hydroxy and N-acetoxy metabolites both appear to be transported through the circulation to the colon mucosa, forming covalent DNA adducts. Glucuronidation and reaction with glutathione appear to serve as detoxification pathways. In humans, individuals who are phenotypically rapid metabolizers for both CYP1A2 and NAT2 are significantly higher (p = 0.0015) in colorectal cancer/poly cases vs. controls; and PhIP-DNA adducts can be detected in human colon samples. These studies provide strong evidence that PhIP and other heterocyclic amines play an important role in the etiology of human colorectal cancer.

metabolic activation pathway for the formation of dna adducts of the carcinogen 2 amino l methyl 6 phenyumidazo 4 5 b pyridine PhIP in rat extrahepatic tissues
Carcinogenesis, 1994Co-Authors: Keith R Kaderlik, Rodney F Minchin, Gerard J Mulder, Kenneth F Ilett, Maria Daugaardjenson, Candee H Teitel, Fred F KadlubarAbstract:The food-borne mutagen 2-amino-l-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[ 4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP) induces tumors in colon of male rats and has been implicated in the etiology of human cancers, particularly colorectal cancer. This study was conducted to examine: (1) the biliary and/or circulatory transport of N-hydroxy- PhIP and its N-glucuronides, N-sulfonyloxy-PhIP and N-acetoxy-PhIP; (2) their role as proximate and ultimate carcinogenic metabolites of PhIP; (3) the potential role of glutathione in modulating PhIP-DNA adduct formation. PhIP-DNA adducts, measured by the P-postlabeling method, were highest in the pancreas (361 adducts/10 nucleotides or 100%), followed by colon (56%), lung (28%), heart (27%) and liver (2%), at 24 h after a single oral dose of PhIP (220 μmol/kg) to male rats. In each tissue examined, we observed two major adducts, each of which accounted for 35-45% of the total, and one minor adduct, which represented about 10-20% of the total. One of the major adducts was identified as N-(deoxyguanosin-8-yl)-2-amino-l-methyl- 6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine by chromatographic comparisons with an authentic standard. The major urinary metabolites of PhIP in these rats were 4'-hydroxy-PhIP and its glucuronide and sulfate conjugates, followed by N-hydroxy-PhIP N3-glucuronide, N-hydroxy-PhIP N-glucuronide and unchanged PhIP. In bile duct-ligated rats, the urinary excretion of the N-OH-PhIP N3-glucuronide was increased two-fold, but there was no effect on PhIP-DNA adduct formation in the colon, heart, lung, pancreas or liver. 2,6-Dichloro-4-nitrophenol, which strongly inhibits arylsulfo-transferase-mediated DNA binding in vivo, had no effect on PhIP-DNA adduct levels in liver or in extrahepatic tissues. Pretreatment of rats with buthionine sulfoximine, which results in hepatic glutathione depletion, caused a five-fold increase in adduct formation in the liver. Intravenous administration (10 μmol/kg) of N-hydroxy-PhIP and N-acetoxy-PhIP each led to high levels of PhIP-DNA adducts in each of the extrahepatic tissues examined. Adduct levels ranged from two- to six-fold higher (for N-hydroxy-PhIP) and four- to 28-fold higher (for N-acetoxy-PhIP) as compared to that after an i.v. dose of the parent compound, indicating that these two bioactivated derivatives of PhIP are sufficiently stable to be transported through the circulation to extrahepatic tissues. Analyses of whole blood obtained at 2-8 h after oral administration of [H]PhIP failed to detect N-hydroxy-PhIP (<0.1% of the radioactivity), however, a decomposition product of N-acetoxy-PhIP was found to account for about 80% of the total radioactivity in the blood. These results suggest that transport of N-acetoxy-PhIP, and perhaps N-hydroxy-PhIP, via the bloodstream and not biliary transport and deconjugation of N-hydroxy-PhIP N-glucuronides is primarily responsible for PhIP-DNA adduct formation in rat colon and other extrahepatic tissues.

effect of glutathione depletion and inhibition of glucuronidation and sulfation on 2 amino 1 methyl 6 phenylimidazo 4 5 b pyridine PhIP metabolism PhIP dna adduct formation and unscheduled dna synthesis in primary rat hepatocytes
Carcinogenesis, 1994Co-Authors: Keith R Kaderlik, Gerard J Mulder, Candee H Teitel, Joseph G Shaddock, Daniel A Casciano, Fred F KadlubarAbstract:The potent rat colon carcinogen 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP), unlike other food-borne heterocyclic amines, does not induce tumors in rat liver. This correlates with an extremely low level of PhIP-DNA adducts formed in this tissue, and together these observations suggest that PhIP is efficiently detoxified in the liver. In order to identify possible detoxification mechanisms, we assessed the effect of inhibition of glucuronidation, glutathione (GSH) conjugation and sulfation on PhIP metabolism and PhIP-induced DNA damage in rat hepatocytes. Hepatocytes isolated from rats pretreated with Aroclor 1254 metabolized PhIP to the same products found in vivo. N-Hydroxy-PhIP N3-glucuronide and N-hydroxy-PhIP N2-glucuronide were major and minor metabolites respectively. 32P-Postlabeling analysis of DNA from the PhIP-treated hepatocytes indicated the presence of two major adducts, one of which was identified as N-(deoxyguanosin-8-yl)-PhIP, and one minor adduct. There was no unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) in these cells. However, pretreatment of the hepatocytes with 1-bromoheptane and buthionine sulfoximine, which depletes GSH and prevents its resynthesis, resulted in a 15-fold increase in the formation of PhIP-DNA adducts, as well as in a high level of UDS. GSH depletion had no effect on the formation of detectable PhIP metabolites. Hepatocyte pretreatment with D-galactosamine, which inhibits glucuronidation, increased the formation of DNA adducts two-fold and UDS was increased similarly. D-Galactosamine decreased the formation of the two N-glucuronides of N-hydroxy-PhIP by 50-60%, but had no effect on other metabolites. Pentachlorophenol, which strongly inhibits sulfotransferases, decreased adduct formation slightly, but had essentially no effect on UDS or on the formation of PhIP metabolites. These results indicate that metabolic conjugation pathways involving GSH and glucuronidation may play an important role in protecting rat liver against PhIP carcinogenesis.

ammonia and formaldehyde participate in the formation of 2 amino 1 methyl 6 phenylimidazo 4 5 b pyridine PhIP in addition to creati ni ne and phenylacetaldehyde
Food Chemistry, 2014Co-Authors: Rosario Zamora, Esmeralda Alcon, Francisco J HidalgoAbstract:The formation of formaldehyde from phenylacetaldehyde and phenylalanine, and the contribution of both formaldehyde and ammonia to the production of PhIP from phenylacetaldehyde and creatinine were studied in an attempt to clarify the reaction pathways that produce PhIP. Formaldehyde was produced by thermal degradation of phenylacetaldehyde and, to a lesser extent, also by degradation of phenylalanine, phenylethylamine, styrene, and creatinine. When formaldehyde was added to a mixture of phenylacetaldehyde and creatinine, PhIP yield was multiplied by nineteen. When formaldehyde and ammonia were simultaneously present, PhIP yield was multiplied by fifty and the Ea of the reaction decreased by 61%. All these results point to formaldehyde and ammonia as the two additional reactants required for PhIP formation from both phenylacetaldehyde/creati(ni)ne and phenylalanine/creati(ni)ne mixtures. A general pathway for PhIP formation is proposed. This pathway is suggested to be the main route for PhIP formation in foods.

comparative formation of 2 amino 1 methyl 6 phenylimidazo 4 5 b pyridine PhIP in creatinine phenylalanine and creatinine phenylalanine 4 oxo 2 nonenal reaction mixtures
Food Chemistry, 2013Co-Authors: Rosario Zamora, Esmeralda Alcon, Francisco J HidalgoAbstract:Abstract The comparative formation of the heterocyclic aromatic amine 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5- b ]pyridine (PhIP) in both creatinine/phenylalanine (CRN/Phe) and creatinine/phenylalanine/4-oxo-2-nonenal (CRN/Phe/ON) systems was studied to analyse the ability of lipid-derived reactive carbonyls to promote PhIP formation. Although PhIP was produced to some extent in the CRN/Phe system, the presence of the oxidized lipid increased considerably the amount of PhIP produced. This increase seemed to be a consequence of the decrease in the E a of the reaction when the lipid was present, which diminished from 112.9 to 80.9 kJ/mol. On the other hand, the addition of the lipid did not seem to produce PhIP by an alternative mechanism because PhIP was formed analogously in both CRN/Phe and CRN/Phe/ON systems as a function of pH, creatinine concentration, phenylalanine concentration, time, temperature, oxygen concentration in the reaction atmosphere, and the addition of different amounts of ammonia. All these results suggest that the ability of lipid oxidation products to produce PhIP is related to their capacity to induce the Strecker degradation of phenylalanine to phenylacetaldehyde. Therefore, any other reactive carbonyl compound that can produce the Strecker degradation of phenylalanine should also be considered as a potential inducer of PhIP formation under appropriate conditions.

effect of lipid oxidation products on the formation of 2 amino 1 methyl 6 phenylimidazo 4 5 b pyridine PhIP in model systems
Food Chemistry, 2012Co-Authors: Rosario Zamora, Esmeralda Alcon, Francisco J HidalgoAbstract:Abstract Ternary mixtures of creatinine, phenylalanine and lipids (or carbohydrates) were heated at 200 °C for 1 h to determine the potential contribution of lipids to the formation of 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5- b ]pyridine (PhIP). Although unoxidised lipids did not contribute to PhIP formation, their oxidation produced many compounds that significantly increased the formation of PhIP. Among the different lipid oxidation products (LOPs) studied, which included ω-6 and ω-3 derived lipid hydroperoxides, 2,4-alkadienals, 2-alkenals, 4,5-epoxy-2-alkenals, 4-oxo-2-alkenals, and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal, 4-oxo-2-nonenal was the most reactive compound. It produced 32.48 pmol of PhIP/μmol of creatinine in comparison with the 7.92 pmol of PhIP/μmol of creatinine produced by the control phenylalanine/creatinine reaction mixture. 4-Oxo-2-nonenal reactivity was similar to that of most carbohydrates; although ribose and arabinose produced more PhIP (44–46 pmol of PhIP/μmol of creatinine). In addition to single LOP, the addition of oxidised soybean oil for 24–144 h at 60 °C also increased PhIP formation. All these results pointed out to a potential contribution of LOP to the formation of PhIP in food products. This contribution will depend on the lipid content of the food product and its easiness to be oxidised.

Mass Spectrometric Characterization of an Acid-Labile Adduct Formed with 2‑Amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5‑b]pyridine and Albumin in Humans
2016Co-Authors: Yi Wang, Lijuan Peng, Peter W. Villalta, Karen Dingley, Michael A. Malfatti, K. W. Turteltaub, Robert J. TureskyAbstract:2-Amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP) is a carcinogenic heterocyclic aromatic amine formed during the high-temperature cooking of meats. The cytochrome P450-mediated N-hydroxylation of the exocyclic amine group of PhIP produces 2-hydroxyamino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine, an electrophilic metabolite that forms adducts with DNA and proteins. Previous studies conducted by our laboratory showed that the reaction of N-oxidized PhIP metabolites with human albumin in vitro primarily occurs at the Cys34 residue, to produce an acid-labile linked sulfinamide adduct. On the basis of these findings, we developed a sensitive ultraperformance liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry method to measure acid-labile albumin–PhIP adducts in human volunteers administered a dietary-relevant dose of 14C-labeled PhIP [Dingley, K. H., et al. (1999) Cancer Epidemiol., Biomarkers Prev. 8, 507–512]. Mild acid treatment of albumin (0.1 N HCl, 37 °C for 1 h) or proteolytic digestion with Pronase [50 mM ammonium bicarbonate buffer (pH 8.5) at 37 °C for 18 h] released similar amounts of covalently bound PhIP, which was characterized by multistage scanning and quantified by Orbitrap mass spectrometry. The amount of [14C]PhIP recovered by acid treatment of albumin 24 h following dosing accounted for 7.2–21.3% of the [14C]PhIP bound to albumin based on accelerator mass spectrometry measurements. 2-Amino-1-methyl-6-(5-hydroxy)phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine, a hydrolysis product of the Cys34 S–N linked sulfenamide adduct of PhIP, was not detected in either acid-treated or protease-treated samples. These findings suggest that a portion of the PhIP bound to albumin in vivo probably occurs as an acid-labile sulfinamide adduct formed at the Cys34 residue

a comprehensive investigation of 2 amino 1 methyl 6 phenylimidazo 4 5 b pyridine PhIP metabolism in the mouse using a multivariate data analysis approach
Chemical Research in Toxicology, 2007Co-Authors: Chi Chen, Michael A. Malfatti, James S. Felton, Jeffrey R Idle, Kristopher W Krausz, Shioko Kimura, Frank J GonzalezAbstract:2-Amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP) is a potent rodent carcinogen and a potential human carcinogen because of its existence in the normal human diet. N2-OH-PhIP, a major PhIP metabolite, has been identified as a precursor of genotoxic species. In vitro data supported the view that CYP1A2 is the major enzyme responsible for the formation of N2-OH-PhIP. However, disruption of the CYP1A2 gene in mouse failed to inhibit PhIP-induced carcinogenesis. To investigate the mechanism underlying this observation, the metabolism of PhIP in wild-type, Cyp1a2-null, and CYP1A2-humanized mice was examined in detail using a metabolomic approach. Following data acquisition in a high-resolution LC-MS system, urinary metabolomes of the control and PhIP-treated mice were characterized in a principal component analysis (PCA) model. Comprehensive metabolite profiles of PhIP in high dose (10 mg/kg) and low dose (100 μg/kg) were established through analyzing urinary ions contributing to the separation of three m...

mouse lung cyp1a1 catalyzes the metabolic activation of 2 amino 1 methyl 6 phenylimidazo 4 5 b pyridine PhIP
Carcinogenesis, 2006Co-Authors: Jeffrey R Idle, Michael A. Malfatti, James S. Felton, Kristopher W Krausz, Daniel W Nebert, Chong Sheng Chen, David J Waxman, Frank J GonzalezAbstract:2-Amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP) carcinogenesis is initiated by N(2)-hydroxylation, mediated by several cytochromes P450, including CYP1A1. However, the role of CYP1A1 in PhIP metabolic activation in vivo is unclear. In this study, Cyp1a1-null and wild-type (WT) mice were used to investigate the potential role of CYP1A1 in PhIP metabolic activation in vivo. PhIP N(2)-hydroxylation was actively catalyzed by lung homogenates of WT mice, at a rate of 14.9 +/- 5.0 pmol/min/g tissue, but <1 pmol/min/g tissue in stomach and small intestine, and almost undetectable in mammary gland and colon. PhIP N(2)-hydroxylation catalyzed by lung homogenates of Cyp1a1-null mice was approximately 10-fold lower than that of WT mice. In contrast, PhIP N(2)-hydroxylation activity in lung homogenates of Cyp1a2-null versus WT mice was not decreased. Pretreatment with 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin increased lung Cyp1a1 mRNA and lung homogenate PhIP N(2)-hydroxylase activity approximately 50-fold in WT mice, where the activity was substantially inhibited (70%) by monoclonal antibodies against CYP1A1. In vivo, 30 min after oral treatment with PhIP, PhIP levels in lung were similar to those in liver. After a single dose of 0.1 mg/kg [(14)C]PhIP, lung PhIP-DNA adduct levels in Cyp1a1-null mice, but not in Cyp1a2-null mice, were significantly lower (P = 0.0028) than in WT mice. These results reveal that mouse lung has basal and inducible PhIP N(2)-hydroxylase activity predominantly catalyzed by CYP1A1. Because of the high inducibility of human CYP1A1, especially in cigarette smokers, the role of lung CYP1A1 in PhIP carcinogenesis should be considered. (237 words).

Human UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 is the primary enzyme responsible for the N-glucuronidation of N-hydroxy-PhIP in vitro.
Chemical research in toxicology, 2004Co-Authors: Michael A. Malfatti, James S. FeltonAbstract:UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A proteins (UGT1A) catalyze the glucuronidation of many endogenous and xenobiotic compounds including heterocyclic amines and their hydroxylated metabolites. Studies have shown that in humans UGT1A-mediated glucuronidation is an important pathway in the detoxification of food-borne carcinogenic heterocyclic amines. The biotransformation of 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP), the most mass abundant heterocyclic amine found in cooked meats, is highly dependent on cytochrome P4501A2 hydroxylation followed by UGT-catalyzed glucuronidation of the N-hydroxy-PhIP reactive intermediate. To determine which UGT1A proteins are involved in the glucuronidation of N-hydroxy-PhIP, microsomal preparations from baculovirus-infected insect cells that express all of the known functional human UGT1A isozymes (UGT1A1, -1A3, -1A4, -1A6, -1A7, -1A8, -1A9, and -1A10) were exposed to N-hydroxy-PhIP and the reaction products were isolated by HPLC. All UGT1A proteins except UGT1A6 showed some degree of activity toward N-hydroxy-PhIP. The formation of both N-hydroxy-PhIP-N(2)-glucuronide and N-hydroxy-PhIP-N3-glucuronide was both time- and substrate concentration-dependent. UGT1A1 was the most efficient in converting N-hydroxy-PhIP to both conjugates producing five times more of the N(2)-conjugate than UGT1A4, the next most active UGT, and 286 times more than UGT1A7, the least active UGT. With an apparent K(m) of 52 microM and a K(cat) of 114 min(-)(1), UGT1A1 was also the most catalytically efficient in forming N-hydroxy-PhIP-N(2)-glucuronide. The catalytic efficiency for N-hydroxy-PhIP-N3-glucuronide formation was 8, 10, and 6 times lower for UGT1A1, -1A4, and -1A8, respectively, when compared to the K(cat) values for N-hydroxy-PhIP-N(2)-glucuronide formation. These results clearly show that UGT1A1 has the highest specificity for glucuronidating N-hydroxy-PhIP. Polymorphic expression resulting in decreased UGT1A1 activity in humans can cause reduced rates of glucuronidation, which can change the metabolic ratio between bioactivation and detoxification to favor bioactivation. This change will increase the susceptibility to the deleterious effects from PhIP exposure because the capacity to form nontoxic N-hydroxy-PhIP glucuronide conjugates will be diminished.

N-Glucuronidation of 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo [4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP) and N-hydroxy-PhIP by specific human UDP-glucuronosyltransferases
Carcinogenesis, 2001Co-Authors: Michael A. Malfatti, James S. FeltonAbstract:Glucuronidation is a major metabolic pathway in the biotransformation of many xenobiotics. Recent studies have shown that in humans, UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT)-mediated glucuronidation plays a critical role in the detoxification of food-borne carcinogenic heterocyclic amines. 2-Amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP), the most abundant carcinogenic heterocyclic amine found in well-cooked meats, has been shown to be extensively glucuronidated in humans. To determine which UGT isozymes are involved in the biotransformation of PhIP and the cytochrome P4501A2-mediated reactive intermediate N-hydroxy-PhIP, microsomes expressing human UGT1A1, -1A4, -1A6 or -1A9 were incubated with PhIP and N-hydroxy-PhIP and the reaction products analyzed by HPLC and ESI-MS. Incubations containing N-hydroxy-PhIP and UGT1A1 expressing microsomes, with an apparent Km of 4.58 microM and a Vmax of 4.18 pmol/min/mg protein, had the highest capacity to convert N-hydroxy-PhIP to N-hydroxy-PhIP-N2-glucuronide. Microsomes expressing UGT1A9 produced N-hydroxy-PhIP-N3-glucuronide at the highest rate with an apparent Km and Vmax of 3.73 microM and 4.07 pmol/min/mg, respectively. A third previously undefined glucuronide accounted for 31% of the total glucuronides formed from the UGT1A4 expressing microsomes. No glucuronide conjugates were detected from microsomes expressing UGT1A6. Incubations containing PhIP as substrate formed direct PhIP-glucuronides in microsomes expressing UGT1A1, UGT1A4 and UGT1A9 but at levels averaging 53-fold lower than when N-hydroxy-PhIP was used as the substrate. Knowing the glucuronidation capacity of the specific UGT isozymes involved in PhIP and N-hydroxy-PhIP glucuronidation should help in determining the individual susceptibility to the potential cancer risk from exposure to PhIP.

ammonia and formaldehyde participate in the formation of 2 amino 1 methyl 6 phenylimidazo 4 5 b pyridine PhIP in addition to creati ni ne and phenylacetaldehyde
Food Chemistry, 2014Co-Authors: Rosario Zamora, Esmeralda Alcon, Francisco J HidalgoAbstract:The formation of formaldehyde from phenylacetaldehyde and phenylalanine, and the contribution of both formaldehyde and ammonia to the production of PhIP from phenylacetaldehyde and creatinine were studied in an attempt to clarify the reaction pathways that produce PhIP. Formaldehyde was produced by thermal degradation of phenylacetaldehyde and, to a lesser extent, also by degradation of phenylalanine, phenylethylamine, styrene, and creatinine. When formaldehyde was added to a mixture of phenylacetaldehyde and creatinine, PhIP yield was multiplied by nineteen. When formaldehyde and ammonia were simultaneously present, PhIP yield was multiplied by fifty and the Ea of the reaction decreased by 61%. All these results point to formaldehyde and ammonia as the two additional reactants required for PhIP formation from both phenylacetaldehyde/creati(ni)ne and phenylalanine/creati(ni)ne mixtures. A general pathway for PhIP formation is proposed. This pathway is suggested to be the main route for PhIP formation in foods.

comparative formation of 2 amino 1 methyl 6 phenylimidazo 4 5 b pyridine PhIP in creatinine phenylalanine and creatinine phenylalanine 4 oxo 2 nonenal reaction mixtures
Food Chemistry, 2013Co-Authors: Rosario Zamora, Esmeralda Alcon, Francisco J HidalgoAbstract:Abstract The comparative formation of the heterocyclic aromatic amine 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5- b ]pyridine (PhIP) in both creatinine/phenylalanine (CRN/Phe) and creatinine/phenylalanine/4-oxo-2-nonenal (CRN/Phe/ON) systems was studied to analyse the ability of lipid-derived reactive carbonyls to promote PhIP formation. Although PhIP was produced to some extent in the CRN/Phe system, the presence of the oxidized lipid increased considerably the amount of PhIP produced. This increase seemed to be a consequence of the decrease in the E a of the reaction when the lipid was present, which diminished from 112.9 to 80.9 kJ/mol. On the other hand, the addition of the lipid did not seem to produce PhIP by an alternative mechanism because PhIP was formed analogously in both CRN/Phe and CRN/Phe/ON systems as a function of pH, creatinine concentration, phenylalanine concentration, time, temperature, oxygen concentration in the reaction atmosphere, and the addition of different amounts of ammonia. All these results suggest that the ability of lipid oxidation products to produce PhIP is related to their capacity to induce the Strecker degradation of phenylalanine to phenylacetaldehyde. Therefore, any other reactive carbonyl compound that can produce the Strecker degradation of phenylalanine should also be considered as a potential inducer of PhIP formation under appropriate conditions.

effect of lipid oxidation products on the formation of 2 amino 1 methyl 6 phenylimidazo 4 5 b pyridine PhIP in model systems
Food Chemistry, 2012Co-Authors: Rosario Zamora, Esmeralda Alcon, Francisco J HidalgoAbstract:Abstract Ternary mixtures of creatinine, phenylalanine and lipids (or carbohydrates) were heated at 200 °C for 1 h to determine the potential contribution of lipids to the formation of 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5- b ]pyridine (PhIP). Although unoxidised lipids did not contribute to PhIP formation, their oxidation produced many compounds that significantly increased the formation of PhIP. Among the different lipid oxidation products (LOPs) studied, which included ω-6 and ω-3 derived lipid hydroperoxides, 2,4-alkadienals, 2-alkenals, 4,5-epoxy-2-alkenals, 4-oxo-2-alkenals, and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal, 4-oxo-2-nonenal was the most reactive compound. It produced 32.48 pmol of PhIP/μmol of creatinine in comparison with the 7.92 pmol of PhIP/μmol of creatinine produced by the control phenylalanine/creatinine reaction mixture. 4-Oxo-2-nonenal reactivity was similar to that of most carbohydrates; although ribose and arabinose produced more PhIP (44–46 pmol of PhIP/μmol of creatinine). In addition to single LOP, the addition of oxidised soybean oil for 24–144 h at 60 °C also increased PhIP formation. All these results pointed out to a potential contribution of LOP to the formation of PhIP in food products. This contribution will depend on the lipid content of the food product and its easiness to be oxidised.
