Biochemical, morphological and flow cytometric evaluation of the effects of hexachlorobenzene on rat liver
Tóm tắt
This study investigated the ability of HCB (0.1% in the diet for 15 days) to cause early changes in the cellular ploidy of rat liver. Treatment caused marked hepatomegaly, increase of microsomal proteins and cytochrome P-450 content and reduction of hepatocyte microviscosity. Microscopic examination showed that the hepatocytes were enlarged, with hyaline cytoplasm and vacuoles. The size distribution of the isolated hepatocytes showed a larger percentage of bigger cells. Flow-cytometric DNA/protein analysis was performed on whole (fixed) cells and on nuclei. From the combined results of both analyses it was possible to exclude significant changes in the percentages of diploid, mononucleated tetraploid, binucleated tetraploid and octoploid hepatocytes. The DNA and protein content of each subpopulation remained unchanged. Our results suggest that HCB does not cause early diploidization of liver cells and that hepatomegaly and cytochrome P-450 induction seem not to be correlated with effects on total DNA and total protein contents.
