The consequences of altered cytochrome P450-dependent monooxygenase activities in colonic tissue are unknown. As an initial step toward elucidating underlying mechanisms that regulate cytochrome P450 levels in colonic epithelium, we have characterized CYP1A1(3) induction in cultured human colonic cells (Caco-2).

High levels of anti-phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) autoantibodies (autoAb) have been previously described in sera of cancer patients and in plasma of dimethylbenzanthracene-treated female Sprague-Dawley rats. The presence of anti-PtdIns autoAb was tested in a model of highly malignant sarcomas induced by

This study assessed the role of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) affinity, and cytochrome P4501A (CYP1A) protein and activity in polyaromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-induced oxidative stress. In the 1-100nM concentration range benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) but not benzo[e]pyrene (BeP) competitively displaced 2nM [(3)H]2, 3
