The basal level of aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) activity was high in cultures of low passage hamster embryo (HE) cells but AHH inducibility by benz(a)-anthracene (BA) was low; in R72/3 rat liver cells, basal activity was low and inducibility was high. The metabolism of 3H--benzo(a)pyrene was similar in cultures of BA-induced R72/3 cells and uninduced HE cells. Thus, low AHH inducibility may not always be an indication of the cells' absolute hydrocarbonmetabolizing capacity.
低传代仓鼠胚胎(HE)细胞培养物中芳烃羟化酶(AHH)的基础活性较高,但苯并(a)蒽(BA)对AHH的诱导性较低;在R72/3大鼠肝细胞中,基础活性较低而诱导性较高。在BA诱导的R72/3细胞培养物和未诱导的HE细胞培养物中,3H-苯并(a)芘的代谢情况相似。因此,低AHH诱导性可能并不总是细胞绝对烃代谢能力的指标。
