In this investigation, we tested the hypothesis that the cytochrome
P-450 (CYP) inhibitor 1-aminobenzotriazole (ABT) alters the
susceptibility of rats to hyperoxic lung injury. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were treated i.p. with ABT (66 mg/kg), i.v. with
N-benzyl-1-aminobenzotriazole (1 µmol/kg), or the
respective vehicles, followed by exposure to >95% oxygen for 24, 48, or 60 h. Pleural effusion volumes were measured as estimates of
hyperoxic lung injury, and lung microsomal ethoxyresorufin
O-deethylation (EROD) (CYP1A1) activities and CYP1A1
apoprotein levels were determined by Western blotting. ABT-pretreated
animals exposed to hyperoxia died between 48 and 60 h, whereas no
deaths were observed with up to 60 h of hyperoxia in
vehicle-treated animals. In addition, three of four ABT-treated rats
exposed to hyperoxia for 48 h showed marked pleural effusions. Exposure of vehicle-treated rats to hyperoxia led to 6.3-fold greater
lung EROD activities and greater CYP1A1 apoprotein levels than in
air-breathing controls after 48 h, but both declined to control
levels by 60 h. Liver CYP1A1/1A2 enzymes displayed responses to
hyperoxia and ABT similar to the effects on lung CYP1A1.
N-Benzyl-1-aminobenzotriazole markedly inhibited lung
microsomal pentoxyresorufin O-depentylation (principally
CYP2B1) activities in air-breathing and hyperoxic animals but did not
affect lung EROD or liver CYP activities. In conclusion, the results
suggest that induction of CYP1A enzymes may serve as an adaptive
response to hyperoxia, and that CYP2B1, the major pulmonary CYP
isoform, does not contribute significantly to hyperoxic lung injury.
