Oral administration of sumithion, dursban, chlordane, methoxychlore, and heptachlor epoxide as repeated doses decreased: (i) the hepatic content of cytochrome P450 by 36, 37, 47, 37, and 67%, respectively, (ii) AHH activity by 28, 29, 70, 31, and 79%, respectively, (iii) NDMA-dI activity by 43, 44, 32, 27, and 31, respectively.

This study examined the effects of the organochlorine (OC) insecticides chlordane, o,p'-DDT, dieldrin, endosulfan, kepone, methoxychlor, and toxaphene on human HepG2 cytochrome P450 (1A-EROD and 2B-PROD) activities and glutathione (GSH) levels.

Contaminant transfer from blubber to milk in females favored the more polar compounds (lower chlorinated PCBs, toxaphenes, hexachlorocyclohexanes, and hexachlorobenzene) relative to more lipophilic compounds (higher chlorinated PCBs, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane [DDT], chlordane).

To investigate whether or not these CYP expression levels are altered by contamination of organochlorine contaminants (OCs), mRNA levels of these CYPs in the liver of common minke whale were measured using a quantitative real-time RT-PCR method, and the quantified mRNA levels were employed for the statistical analysis with the residue levels of OCs including PCBs, DDTs (p,p'-DDT, p,p'-DDD and p,p'-DDE), chlordanes (cis-chlordane, trans-chlordane, cis-nonachlor, trans-nonachlor and oxychlordane), HCHs (alpha-, beta- and gamma-isomers) and hexachlorobenzene that have already been reported elsewhere.

In contrast, the chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides, such as DDT, dieldrin, chlordane, and mirex, cause almost exclusively the induction of isoforms of the CYP2B (and to a lesser extent the CYP3A) subfamilies.

Environ Toxicol Chem. 2002 Apr;21(4):794-806.

From 16 largha seals (Phoca largha) and 15 ribbon seals (Phoca fasciata) in the coastal waters of Hokkaido, Japan, blubber chlorinated hydrocarbon (CHC) levels and hepatic cytochrome P450 (CYP) catalytic activities and their immunochemically detected protein content levels were measured.
Concentrations of DDTs (2,2-bis (4-chlorophenyl)-1,1-dichloroethylene,p,p'-DDE; 2,2-bis (4-chlorophenyl)-1,1-dichloroethane, p,p'-DDD; dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, p,p'-DDT), polychlorinated biphenyl congeners (PCBs), and chlordane compounds (oxychlordane, chlordanes, and nonachlors) in both species were in the range of 290 to 5,300, 420 to 4,000, and 130 to 1,500 ng/g lipid weight, respectively.

The termites were subsequently assayed to determine their susceptibility to cypermethrin, chlordane and chlorpyrifos, and detoxication enzyme activity.
As with the bioassay data, although significant differences were noted, a great deal of overlap was observed among the colonies for total cytochrome P450 content (difference of 2.2-fold between high and low value) aldrin epoxidation (3.6-fold) and cytosolic esterase (3.9-fold) activity.

Groups of rats were given either propoxur, were left as untreated controls, or were given phenobarbital, DDT, chlordane or toxaphene which are known to induce liver microsomal detoxification enzymes.
The activity of aminopyrine-N-demethylase, cytochrome P-450 and p-nitroanisole-O-demethylase in liver homogenates of rats receiving propoxur was measured.

Both proteins were markedly intensified in liver microsomes from male or female rats treated with pregnenolone-16 alpha-carbonitrile, dexamethasone, troleandomycin, or chlordane.

p,p'-DDE, phenobarbital, dieldrin heptachlor, chlordane and toxaphene induced rat liver microsomes exhibited increased formation of the 4,5-dihydrodiol, 3,6-quinone, 9- and 3-hydroxymetabolites of benzo [a] pyrene and the latter three compounds also induced an increase in the rate of formation of the 9,10-dihydrodiol metabolite.
Using a battery of monooxygenase enzyme assays it was evident that there were significant differences between PB and several organochlorine pesticides as inducers of rat hepatic cytochrome P-450-dependent monooxygenases.

The effects of 22 organohalogen pesticides as inducers of hepatic drug-metabolizing enzymes in the immature male Wistar rat have been determined, this group includes four isomeric hexachlorocyclohexanes, technical chlordane, alpha-chlordane, gamma-chlordane, oxychlordane, trans-nonachlor, heptachlor, heptachlor epoxide, aldrin, dieldrin, kepone, toxaphene, mirex, hexachlorobenzene (HCB) and several DDT analogs.
With the exception of HCB, all of the pesticides induced microsomal dimethylaminoantipyrine, N-demethylase and aldrin epoxidase activities and the cytochrome P-450 content of microsomes from animals pretreated with most of the compounds was also increased compared to control rats.

Treatment of rats with phenobarbital increases the hepatic concentration of P-450p, a form of cytochrome P-450 believed to be controlled primarily by a mechanism that stereospecifically recognizes glucocorticoids like dexamethasone and anti-glucocorticoids like pregnenolone-16 alpha-carbonitrile [Schuetz, E.G., & Guzelian, P.S. (1984) J.
With some of the inducers, notably the organochlorine pesticides chlordane and trans-nonachlor, there was a greater accumulation of P-450p measured on quantitative immunoblots than could be accounted for by the increase in P-450p synthesis. "Pulse-chase" experiments confirmed that these compounds significantly lengthen the half-life of P-450p up to 60 h as compared to the values in control (11 h) or dexamethasone-treated (10 h) cultures.

The chlordane constituent trans-nonachlor and its metabolite oxychlordane are among the most persistent chlordane-related contaminants and are found in tissues and milk from humans ingesting diets high in Arctic marine mammal fat.
In male rats exposure to trans-nonachlor was associated with changes in endpoints indicative of increased oxidative stress, which may be related to both direct action on cellular targets or to secondary effects resulting from cytochrome P450 induction.
