Abstract

Interest in the non-neuronal alterations following traumatic brain injury (TBI) has led to research evaluating hepatic metabolism following injury. Several models of injury demonstrate tissue-specific alterations in cytochrome P450 activity. This study examined tissue-specific alterations in cytochrome P450-mediated hydroxylation in the rat model of TBI. Male Sprague-Dawley rats received anesthesia alone, craniotomy, or craniotomy plus TBI. Rats were sacrificed at 24 and 48 h. Liver, kidney, and brain cortex microsomes were isolated. Total liver P450 content, 6-hydroxychlorzoxazone formation rate, and CYP2E1 protein were evaluated. In liver microsomes, spectral P450 was decreased to 86 ± 5% (p < 0.05) of control at 24 h following injury, and 6-hydroxychlorzoxazone formation rate decreased to 74 ± 18% of control (p < 0.05) at 48 h following injury. In kidney microsomes, 6-hydroxychlorzoxazone formation rate was increased to 154% of control (p < 0.01) 24 h following injury. 6-Hydroxychlorzoxazone formation rate was unaffected by TBI in brain cortical microsomes. The CYP2E1 inhibitor, 4-methylpyrazole, inhibited the formation of 6-hydroxychlorzoxazone in brain, kidney, and liver microsomes. These data demonstrate that tissue-specific alterations in 6-hydroxychlorzoxazone formation rate occur following TBI.
