Topical application of beta-naphthoflavone to CD-1 mice induced an 87- fold increase in epidermal 7-ethoxyresorufin O-dealkylation activity per cell and a many-fold increase in epidermal cytochrome P-4501A1 (CYP1A1) concentration. Flow cytometric analysis of individual epidermal cells from acetone-treated and beta-naphthoflavone-treated mice using a monoclonal antibody for CYP1A1 indicated that 50% to 60% of the isolated epidermal cells were refractory to beta-naphthoflavone induction of CYP1A1. Examination of the differences between responsive and nonresponsive epidermal cells from beta-naphthoflavone-treated mice revealed that 70% of the low CYP1A1-containing cells (noninduced) separated by flow cytometry were basal cells and only 12% were suprabasal differentiated cells. In contrast, about 50% of the high CYP1A1-containing induced cells separated by flow cytometry from the epidermis of mice treated with beta-naphthoflavone were suprabasal cells and 35% were basal cells. These results indicate that topical application of beta-naphthoflavone increased the level of CYP1A1 in about 80% of the separated suprabasal cells and in about 35% of the separated basal cells.
