Induction of the cytochrome P-450 mixed-function oxidase and specifically the cytochrome P-450 IVA1 isoenzyme by seven phenoxyacid herbicides in rat liver have been studied. Liver microsomes from rats orally treated with the herbicides at 3 dose levels showed a significant increase in total cytochrome P-450 content with 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T) being the most potent inducer. Benzphetamine N-demethylation, as a marker of cytochrome P-450b (P-450 IIB1) activity, was not affected by any of the herbicides studied, whereas cytochrome P-450c (P-450 IA1), as assayed by ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylation activity, was significantly increased (up to 2.2-fold) by some of the herbicides.The 12-hydroxylation of lauric acid was significantly induced (3–8-fold) by all seven herbicides, 4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (CPA) and 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxypropionic acid (2,4,5-TP) being the weakest and most potent inducers respectively. This increase in lauric acid 12-hydroxylase activity was accompanied by an increase in the hepatic content of cytochrome P-450 IVA1 as assessed by both a qualitative Western blot procedure and a quantitative ELISA method. By comparison, lauric acid 11-hydroxylase activity was not or only marginally increased by phenoxyacid herbicide pretreatment.Our results suggest that the phenoxyacid herbicides act as mixed inducers of the cytochrome P-450 mixed function oxidase system, preferentially inducing the cytochrome P-450 IVA1 isoenzyme.
