[PMID: 35204761 PMCID: PMC8961663 DOI: 10.3390/biom12020260] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2022] [Accepted: 02/01/2022] [Indexed: 01/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (cPAHs) are considered the most serious cancer risk. This study was conducted to assess the effect of acute exposure to cPAHs on cancer biomarker proteins p53 and p21 in occupational workers during the hajj season in Makkah. One hundred five participants were recruited, including occupational workers and apparently healthy individuals; air samples were collected using personal sample monitors to identify the subjects’ exposure to cPAHs. Quantitative analyses of benzo(a)anthracene (BaA), benzo(b)fluoranthene (BbF), benzo(a)pyrene (BaP), dibenzo(a,h)fluronathene (DBA), indeno(1,2,3-c,d)pyrene (IND) and chyresene (CRY) were carried out using the GC/Mass technique. Serum p53 and p21 proteins were analyzed using ELISA. The ambient air samples collected by the occupationally exposed group were more highly polluted by cPAHs, (90.25 ± 14.1) ng/m3, than those of the unexposed control groups, (30.12 ± 5.56) ng/m3. The concentration of distributive cPAHs was markedly more elevated in the air samples of the exposed group than in those taken from the non-exposed group. The study results demonstrated significant links between short-term exposure to cPAHs and serum p53 and p21 levels. Serum p53 and p21 proteins potentially influence biomarkers when exposed to ambient air cPAHs.

Mutagenicity risk prediction of PAH and derivative mixtures by in silico simulations oriented from CYP compound I-mediated metabolic activation. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2021; 787:147596. [PMID: 33991922 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.147596] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2021] [Revised: 04/26/2021] [Accepted: 05/01/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
PAHs and their derivatives are the main sources of mutagenicity and carcinogenicity in airborne particular matter and cause serious public health and environmental problems. Risk assessment is challenging due to the mixed nature and deficiency of toxicity data of most PAHs and their derivatives. Cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs) play important roles in PAH-induced carcinogenicity via metabolic activation, and CYP conformations with compound I structures strongly influence metabolic sites and metabolite species. In this study, complexes of BaP with CYP1A1, CYP1B1 or CYP2C19 compound I were successfully simulated by QM/MM methods and verified by metabolic clearance, and the mutagenicity of chemicals was then predicted by the BaP-7,8-epoxide-related metabolic conformation fitness (MCF) approach, which was validated by Ames tests, showing satisfying accuracy (R2 = 0.46-0.66). Furthermore, a prediction model of the mutagenicity risk of PAH and derivative mixtures was established based on the relative potential factor (RPF) approach and the RPF calculated from the mathematical relationship between the minimum MCF (MCFmin) and RPF, which was successfully validated by the mutagenesis of PAH and derivative mixture mimic-simulating PM2.5 samples collected in eastern China. This study provides fast reliable tools for assessing risk of the complex components of environmental PAHs and their derivatives.

Abstract
Molecular docking studies of quinoline and 2-chloroquinoline substrates at the active site of toluene dioxygenase (TDO), were conducted using Autodock Vina, to identify novel edge-to-face interactions and to rationalize the observed stereoselective cis-dihydroxylation of carbocyclic rings and formation of isolable cis-dihydrodiol metabolites. These in silico docking results of quinoline and pyridine substrates, with TDO, also provided support for the postulated cis-dihydroxylation of electron-deficient pyridyl rings, to give transient cis-dihydrodiol intermediates and the derived hydroxyquinolines. 2-Chloroquinoline cis-dihydrodiol metabolites were used as precursors in the chemoenzymatic synthesis of enantiopure arene oxide and arene dioxide derivatives of quinoline, in the context of its possible mammalian metabolism and carcinogenicity.

Abstract
Dibenz[a,h]anthracene (DbA) is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon that is released into the environment through incomplete combustion of gasoline, cigarettes, and coal tar. The effects of short-term (10 days) exposure of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) to DbA (0-50 µg L(-1)) were evaluated using the following four biomarkers: DNA damage, 7-ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) activity, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity, and vitellogenin (VTG) levels. An integrated biomarker response (IBR) was calculated for exposure to DbA, and the results were compared with those in our previous study of two other PAHs, benzo[k]fluoranthene (BkF) and benzo[a]pyrene (BaP). DbA exposure resulted in a significant (p < 0.05) increase in DNA damage, EROD activity, and VTG levels relative to the control. By contrast, DbA did not affect AChE activity. The IBR increased as the concentration of DbA increased. Based on the IBR values, the order of toxicity for the PAHs was BkF > BaP > DbA. Our results suggest that the IBR can be used as a quantitative tool for evaluating the responses of multiple biomarkers to PAH exposure.

Abstract
The tumour suppressor gene TP53 is mutated in more than 50 % of human tumours, making it one of the most important cancer genes. We have investigated the role of TP53 in cytochrome P450 (CYP)-mediated metabolic activation of three polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in a panel of isogenic colorectal HCT116 cells with differing TP53 status. Cells that were TP53(+/+), TP53(+/−), TP53(−/−), TP53(R248W/+) or TP53(R248W/−) were treated with benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), dibenz[a,h]anthracene and dibenzo[a,l]pyrene, and the formation of DNA adducts was measured by 32P-postlabelling analysis. Each PAH formed significantly higher DNA adduct levels in TP53(+/+) cells than in the other cell lines. There were also significantly lower levels of PAH metabolites in the culture media of these other cell lines. Bypass of the need for metabolic activation by treating cells with the corresponding reactive PAH-diol-epoxide metabolites resulted in similar adduct levels in all cell lines, which confirms that the influence of p53 is on the metabolism of the parent PAHs. Western blotting showed that CYP1A1 protein expression was induced to much greater extent in TP53(+/+) cells than in the other cell lines. CYP1A1 is inducible via the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR), but we did not find that expression of AHR was dependent on p53; rather, we found that BaP-induced CYP1A1 expression was regulated through p53 binding to a p53 response element in the CYP1A1 promoter region, thereby enhancing its transcription. This study demonstrates a new pathway for CYP1A1 induction by environmental PAHs and reveals an emerging role for p53 in xenobiotic metabolism.

Human aldo-keto reductases and the metabolic activation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Chem Res Toxicol 2014; 27:1901-17.

Abstract
![]()
Aldo-keto reductases (AKRs) are promiscuous
NAD(P)(H) dependent
oxidoreductases implicated in the metabolic activation of polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). These enzymes catalyze the oxidation
of non-K-region trans-dihydrodiols to the corresponding o-quinones with the concomitant production of reactive oxygen
species (ROS). The PAH o-quinones are Michael acceptors
and can form adducts but are also redox-active and enter into futile
redox cycles to amplify ROS formation. Evidence exists to support
this metabolic pathway in humans. The human recombinant AKR1A1 and
AKR1C1–AKR1C4 enzymes all catalyze the oxidation of PAH trans-dihydrodiols to PAH o-quinones. Many
human AKRs also catalyze the NADPH-dependent reduction of the o-quinone products to air-sensitive catechols, exacerbating
ROS formation. Moreover, this pathway of PAH activation occurs in
a panel of human lung cell lines, resulting in the production of ROS
and oxidative DNA damage in the form of 8-oxo-2′-deoxyguanosine.
Using stable-isotope dilution liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry,
this pathway of benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) metabolism was found to contribute equally with the diol-epoxide
pathway to the activation of this human carcinogen in human lung cells.
Evaluation of the mutagenicity of anti-B[a]P-diol epoxide with B[a]P-7,8-dione on
p53 showed that the o-quinone produced by AKRs was
the more potent mutagen, provided that it was permitted to redox cycle,
and that the mutations observed were G to T transversions, reminiscent
of those observed in human lung cancer. It is concluded that there
is sufficient evidence to support the role of human AKRs in the metabolic
activation of PAH in human lung cell lines and that they may contribute
to the causation of human lung cancer.
