Previous studies have shown that the induction of P450 cytochrome 2E1 (CYP2E1) is associated with the loss of proteasomal activities. To correlate the loss of proteasomal activity with CYP2E1 induction, ethanol was fed intragastrically for 1, 3, 7, and 15 days. The maximum induction of CYP2E1 (3.5-fold) occurred after 15 days of ethanol feeding. However, there was no significant decrease in the 26 S chymotrypsin-like and trypsin-like activity over this period of time. When ethanol was given to rats for I month, CYP2E1 was significantly induced, and the proteasomal activity was significantly decreased. These results indicate that proteasomal activity was not directly affected by ethanol or CYP2E1 induction. Since 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) concentration was significantly increased at 1 month of ethanol feeding, it was suspected that 4-HNE adduct formation with proteasome subunits could be the mechanism of proteasome inhibition. Using an antibody to 4-HNE adducted proteins in Western blot analysis of the 26 S proteasome fraction isolated from the liver of alcohol fed rats, one extra band appeared around 44 kDa. When the antibody to an ATPase Rpt4 was used to stain the stripped membrane, the same band that was detected with the 4-HNE antibody was detected with the Rpt4 antibody. An adduct of 4-HNE formed with the Rpt4 subunit of 26 S could impede the association of 19 S and 20 S and thus account for the observed decrease of proteasomal activity. (c) 2004 Elsevier Inc.
