Abstract
Western blot analysis of digitonin eluates as well as immunohistochemical analysis revealed a 30-fold higher concentration of cytochrome P-450IIE1 in the centrilobular than in the periportal regions of the rat liver. Ethanol treatment caused a selective centrilobular induction of P-450IIE1, whereas phenobarbital induced P-450IIB1/2 in both liver lobule regions. The heterogeneous distribution pattern of P-450IIE1 was also observed in cells isolated from either region and correlated to the relative content of P-450IIE1 mRNA in the two cell types. The regiospecific expression and induction of P-450IIE1 may explain why several hepatotoxins, known to be metabolized by this isozyme, primarily damage the centrilobular region in the liver.Entities:
