Abstract
The effect of a single dose of lead nitrate (10 microM/100 g body wt), a hepatic mitogen, on rat liver glutathione transferase (GST) subunit expression was investigated. Using SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and Western blot technique evidence for the induction of GST 7-7 is shown. This occurrence is identical to that observed in preneoplastic nodules generated in rat liver by different models of chemical carcinogenesis, suggesting that lead nitrate may be a very simple model for investigation of the mechanism of glutathione transferase 7-7 gene expression in chemical hepatocarcinogenesis.Entities:
