In the present study, the expression of IL- 1 receptor (IL-1 R) on the primary cultured hepatocytes was determined and the effect of IL-1 on the intracellular amount of cytochrome P-450 was investigated. The kinetics of IL-1 R on the hepatocytes was studied by C’2511-IL-la and revealed that 5,000 molecules of IL-l bound to a hepatocyte with a Kd of 4.0 x lo-’ M. Incubation of the hepatocytes with IL- 1 for 18hrs decreased the contents of cytochrome P-450 in a dose-dependent manner. These findings suggest that IL-1 potentially depresses the drug metabolism involving IL-1 R which is expressed on hepatccytes. 01990 Academic Press,

METHODS Isolation of rat hepatocytes. Hepatocytes were isolated from male Wistar rats perfusion technique as described by Seglen (250 - 300 g) by the two step-liver were suspended (6) and modified by Williams et al. (7) . The isolated hepatocytes in Williams medium E containing 10 % FCS, 100 U/ml penicillin, 100 pg/ml streptomycin, and 0.25jfg/ml fungizone at a concentration of 1 x 10’ cells/ml. The cells were plated in plastic culture dishes (Falcon 3002 ;Falcon Plastics, Oxnard, CA) and cultured at 37’C in 5% COZ and 95% air. IL-l was labeled by the method of Dower Radiolabeling of human rIL-1 . was et al. (8) . Briefly, 1 pg of IL-la in 50 ~1 of O.lM borate buffer (pH 8.5) added to 1 mCi [ iz5 11 -labeled Bolton Hunter reagant (2200 Ci/mM; New England Nuclear, Boston, MA) that had been evaporated by a gentle stream of dry nitrogen. The reaction was allowed to proceed on ice for 1 hr and was terminated by the of 5/11 of 1M glycine ethyl ester. Then 30~1 of 2% gelatin in PBS (0.05M addition (pH 7.4) were added as a carrier, and labeled phosphate, 0.15M buffered saline) chromatography on a l-ml column of Bio-Gel P-10 IL-la was separated by (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Richmond, CA) . Aliquots (100,nl) were collected, and The specific activity fractions containing protein- binding radioactivity were pooled. of C I 25 11 -labeled IL- la was 7.6 x lo6 cpm/pg protein. [12511-labeled IL- la band on SDS polyacrylamide gels. Although the migrated as a single 17-kDa radiolabeled IL-la lost about 80% of their activity when assayed by murine thymocyte proliferative responses, they retained .a binding activity to rabbit anti - IL- la antibody. Binding of C 12511-labeled IL- la to rat hepatocvtes. After 16 hrs of culture, hepatocytes were harvested by pipetting. The’ cells were washed three times with PBS containing 1 mg/ml BSA (Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, MO) , and the cell was adjusted to 5x106 cells/O.2 ml PBS. Different concentrations of number C 1 25 13 -IL-la were added to cell suspensions in Eppendorf tubes at 4’C . After the incubation at 4°C for 1 hr. the cell suspensions were layered over ZOO@ of a the method of mixture of 20% olive oil and 80% di-N-butyl phthalate by Uchiyama et al. (9) , and were centrifuged at 10,000 x g for 1 min (4’C ) to separate free and bound IL-l. The nonspecific binding of CiZ511 -IL-la was determined by incubating cells with labeled IL-l in the presence of a loo-fold excess of cold IL- la. In the competitive binding assay study, we had confirmed that IL-l R is specific for IL-l, and IL-la and IL-la share identical IL-1R (10) . The results were expressed as the mean cpm (specific binding) in which the nonspecific binding was subtracted and as the standard error (SE) of triplicate cultures. Effect of IL-l on cytochrome P- 450 in cultured hepatccytes. After placing hepatocytes in 5% COZ and 95% air for 3 hrs, various amounts of human rIL-la (4eU/mi, 20U/ml, lOOU/ml, 500U/ml) (supplied by Dr. M. Yamada, Dainippon Pharmaceutical Co., Osaka, Japan) were added to culture dishes. Eighteen hours later, cultured hepatocytes were washed with cold PBS and scraped off the dishes using a u rubber policeman” . The cell suspensions were washed by cold PBS three times, and were homogenized using a Teflon -glass Potter -Elvehjem type homogenizer in cold To measure cytochrome P- 450, homogenates were prepared in cold 1 .15% KCl. 1.15% KC1 at a concentration of 1 x lo7 cells/ml. contents Cytochrome P- 450 were determined by the method of Omura and Sato (11 ) . The results were expressed as mean nmol/mg protein and SE of triplicate cultures. The method of Lowry et al. (12) was used to determine the protein contents of homogenates.
