Interleukin-1 is known to repress a number of hepatic drug-metabolizing enzymes in rats and humans. The effect of interleukin-1 beta on lauric acid 12-hydroxylase (CYP4A family) was studied in cultured fetal rat hepatocytes after clofibric acid induction. Dexamethasone was used as an agent promoting differentiation and long-term maintenance of active hepatocytes. Dexamethasone and clofibric acid in combination allowed maximal (13.5-fold) induction of CYP4A1. Lauric acid 12-hydroxylase activity was found to increase with time in culture. Interleukin-1 beta adversely affected P4504A clofibric acid-induced activity, totally eliminating the effect of induction at doses exceeding 5 ng/ml. This repression/inhibition was dose-dependent. The mechanism by which interleukin-1 beta prevents the development of cytochrome P4504A activity is unclear.
