Cyp1b1 induction and DMBA metabolism in OP9 cells compared to other mouse multipotential progenitor lines. (a) Comparison of basal Cyp1b1 mRNA expression in OP9, C3H10T1/2 (10T1/2) cells, and BMS2 cells (set to 1.0). . (b) DMBA (24 hours, 1 M) induction of Cyp1b1 mRNA in 10T1/2 cells but not BMS2 and OP9 cells. . (c) HPLC separation of DMBA metabolites after zero- and 24-hour incubation of 3 μM DMBA with OP9 cells (A: unresolved 8,9- and 10,11-dihydrodiols; B: unresolved 7- and 12-hydroxylmethyl). DiBP is added as an extraction standard after termination of the incubation.
