The effect of 2(3)-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole (BHA) pretreatment of rats on both aflatoxin B1 (AFB1)-DNA binding and AFB1-glutathione has been examined with isolated hepatocytes and in intact rats. Young male F344 rats were fed AIN-76A diet with or without 0.75% BHA for 2 weeks. Even though there were no significant differences in either cytochrome P-450 or reduced glutathione contents, there were marked differences in AFB1 metabolism in isolated hepatocytes from these two groups. Thus, at the 33 nM AFB1 level, AFB1-DNA binding was 3-fold higher in control compared to BHA-treated hepatocytes whereas AFB1-glutathione conjugation was 5-fold higher in treated compared to controls. Even at higher AFB1 concentrations (2 and 10 microM), DNA binding was 4-6-fold higher in controls whereas thiol conjugation was 5-9-fold higher in treated compared to control hepatocytes. Addition of 0.5-1.0 mM diethylmaleate did not have any significant effect in control hepatocytes whereas its presence produced about 70-100% increase in DNA binding with 65-80% inhibition of thiol conjugation in treated hepatocytes. Addition of 1 mM styrene oxide caused 75-100% and 4-8-fold increase in AFB1-DNA binding in control and treated hepatocytes, respectively, with corresponding decreases in thiol conjugation. In intact rats, BHA treatment reduced hepatic AFB1-DNA binding to 15% of controls with concomitant increase in biliary excretion of AFB1-reduced glutathione conjugate. It appears that the induced cytosolic GSH S-transferases after BHA treatment of rats play a significant role in inhibiting hepatic AFB1-DNA binding and AFB1 hepatocarcinogenesis presumably by inactivation of the reactive AFB1-epoxide.
