The role of nitric oxide in the inhibition of the cytochrome P450
system produced by interferon-
in human hepatocytes has been
examined. Nitric oxide exogenously released from
S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine produced a dose-dependent decrease in
cytochrome P4501A2 activity, assessed as 7-ethoxy resorufin
O-deethylation. After 24 hr of treatment with 300 U/ml interferon-
,
a rise in nitric oxide release (200% over control cells) and a
parallel inhibition in 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase activity (50% of
control) were observed in human hepatocytes. This inhibition was
concentration-dependently prevented by
NG-monomethyl-L-arginine, a competitive
inhibitor of nitric oxide biosynthesis. Comparable results were
observed for cytochrome P4502A6 (7-coumarin hydroxylation), 2B6
(7-benzoxyresorufin O-dealkylation) and 3A4 (testosterone
6
-hydroxylation) activities. Decreases in CYP1A2 activity found
after exposure of 3-methylcholanthrene-treated hepatocytes to
interferon-
were also reversed in the presence of
NG-monomethyl-L-arginine. Down-regulation of
cytochrome P4501A2 and 3A4 expression by interferon-
was observed in
parallel. This study suggests that at least some of the interferon-
effects on human hepatocyte cytochrome P450 isoenzymes are mediated by nitric oxide biosynthesis.
