Human epidermal keratinocytes were established from neonatal foreskins. Cultures were pretreated for 24 hr with either butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), methyl butylated hydroxyanisole (MeBHA) or 7,8 benzoflavone (7,8BF). For metabolite detection studies, cultures were treated with radiolabeled benzo(a)pyrene (BP) for 24 hr. Ethyl acetate soluble metabolites were extracted for HPLC analysis. BHA and 7,8BF pretreatment both significantly decreased intracellular production of 7,8 diol BP compared to cultures treated only with radiolabeled BP. MeBHA pretreatment greatly increased intracellular 7,8 diol BP formation compared to BP treated controls. For DNA adduct analysis, cultures were pretreated as described above, and then treated for 24 hr with non-radiolabeled BP. Cellular DNA was isolated and /sup 32/P-postlabeled for adduct analysis. Cultures pretreated with either BHA or 7,8BF formed significantly fewer BPDE I-dG adducts than nonpretreated cultures, while cultures pretreated with MeBHa formed more BPDE I-dG adducts. Thus, BHA and 7,8BF act similarly in reducing BP activation and adduct formation while MeBHa, a structural analog of BHA, increases BP activation and adduct formation in human keratinocyte cultures in vitro.
