The induction of detoxification enzymes by benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC) and its synthetic N-acetyl-L-cys-teine (NAC) conjugate (NAC-BITC) was examined in Hepa1c1c7 murine hepatoma cells. BITC and NAC-BITC inhibited Hepa1c1c7 cell growth in a dose-dependent manner. Cell growth was 4.5∼57.2% lower in Hepa1c1c7 cells treated with 0.1∼10 μM BITC than in control-treated Hepa1c1c7 cells. The NAC-BITC treatment had a similar inhibitory pattern on Hepa1c1c7 cell growth; 0.5 μM and 10 μM NAC-BITC decreased cell growth by 13.6% and 47.4%, respectively. Treat-ment of Hepa1c1c7 cells with 0.1∼2.0 μM BITC also elicited a dose-response effect on the induction of quinone reduc-tase quinone reductase (QR) activity and QR mRNA expression. Treatment with 1 μM and 2 μM BITC caused 1.8- and 2.8-fold inductions of QR mRNA, respectively. By comparison, treatment with 1 μM and 2 μM NAC-BITC caused 1.6- and 1.9-fold inductions of QR mRNA, respectively. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A1 and CYP2E1 induction were lower in 0.1∼2 μM BITC-treated cells than in control-treated cells. CYP2E1 activity was 1.2-fold greater in 0.1 μM NAC-BITC- treated cells than in control-treated cells. However, the CYP2E1 activity of cells treated with higher concentrations (i.e., 1∼2 μM) of NAC-BITC was similar to the activity of control-treated cells. Considering the potential of isothiocyanatesto prevent cancer, these results provide support for the use of BITC and NAC-BITC conjugates as chemopreventive agents.
