Cultured rat pleural mesothelial cells (RPMC) isolated from male Sprague-Dawley rats have been shown to metabolize polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons to more oxygenated metabolites. This capacity, which is maintained with passages, suggested the presence of monooxygenase enzymes. In order to clarify the enzymatic pathway, we investigated the expression of cytochromes P450 (CYP) in cultured RPMC by Western and Northern blot analyses. Cells were cultured in Ham's F10 medium supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum. The CYP expression was studied from passage 9 to 16 on different cell strains treated for 48 hours with P450 inducers. CYP1A1 apoprotein expression was very low in untreated cells, but was markedly induced after treatment with 1 microM 3-methylcholanthrene or 22 microM beta-naphthoflavone. CYP1A1 mRNA was not detected in untreated cells and appeared after 3-methylcholanthrene treatment. CYP2E1 apoprotein was constitutively expressed in cultured RPMC, and markedly increased by 170 mM ethanol, and 0.1 microM or 1 microM dexamethasone treatments. Unexpectedly, whereas the amount CYP2E1 mRNA was not modified by ethanol treatment, dexamethasone has a marked inductive effect on CYP2E1 mRNA level. The CYP expression pattern was found similar in RPMC issued from different rats, and not dependent on passage number. The CYP expression and the detection of NADPH-P450 reductase, and of epoxide hydrolase, ascertained that RPMC contain the overall enzymatic pathway required for the biotransformation and activation of procarcinogen compounds, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and nitrosamines. Both expression and regulation properties are maintained in long-term cultures of RPMC.
