ABSTRACT
Acetaminophen (APAP) administration (600 mg/kg, po) to fasted male CD-1 mice resulted in cellular damage to liver, lung, and kidney. An affinity purified antibody against covalently bound APAP was used to identify APAP-protein adducts in microsomal and cytosolic extracts from these target organs. The proteins were resolved on SDS-PAGE, transblotted to nitrocellulose membranes, and analyzed immunochemically. Covalent binding of APAP to intracellular proteins was only observed in those organs which exhibited cellular damage; no APAP adducts were detected in tissues which did not undergo necrosis. In all target tissues the arylation of proteins was not random but highly selective with two adducts of 44 and 58 kDa accounting for the majority of the total APAP-bound proteins which were detected immunochemically. In addition, a third major APAP-protein adduct of 33 kDa was also observed in kidney cytosol. The severity of tissue damage and the amount of adducts present in these tissues could be significantly reduced when mice were pretreated with the mixed function oxidase inhibitor, piperonyl butoxide, prior to APAP dosing. Immunochemical analysis of plasma from APAP-treated animals indicated the presence of several protein adducts by 4 hr following drug administration. These adducts did not appear to be of plasma origin. Incubation of cytosolic proteins from liver, lung, kidney, spleen, brain, and heart with an APAP metabolite generating liver microsomal system demonstrated that the cytosolic 58-kDa protein target was native to all tissues tested. By contrast, the 58-kDa protein target did not appear to be endogenous to plasma since it was not detected when plasma was incubated in vitro with the liver microsomal system. These studies indicate that, although the 58-kDa proteins appear to be endogenous to both target and nontarget tissues, the 58-kDa APAP-protein adducts are detectable only in tissues which become damaged by APAP.
