We have characterized the induction of acyl-CoA oxidase and cytochrome P450IVA1 RNAs in a primary hepatocyte culture system in vitro, using a sensitive and specific RNAse protection assay. Hepatocytes were cultured with a maximal inducing dose of the peroxisome proliferator clofibric acid (1 mM), or vehicle control, for 4 days, and the level of RNAs compared with the level in rats which had been treated with corn oil or clofibric acid (300 mg/kg) for 4 days. The level of acyl-CoA oxidase and P450IVA1 RNAs in 4-day-old control hepatocytes was less than 2% of that in control liver. However, the level of these RNAs in RNA from treated hepatocytes was 61% of that in liver RNA from treated rats. Hepatocytes were treated with the potent peroxisome proliferator methylclofenapate (100 microM), and the induction of RNAs determined at various times after exposure. P450IVA1 RNA was significantly induced 1 h after dosing, rising to 34-fold above control after 8 h, whereas acyl-CoA oxidase RNA was not significantly induced until 4 h, increasing to 5.2-fold above control after 8 h. A similar time course of induction was seen after treatment of hepatocytes with 100 microM-nafenopin, 100 microM-methylclofenapate, 1 mM-clofibric acid or 1 mM-mono(ethylhexyl) phthalate, suggesting that the differential time course of induction of P450IVA1 and acyl-CoA oxidase RNAs is not related to the esterification, structure or potency of the peroxisome proliferator, but is intrinsic to the process of peroxisome proliferation. Hepatocytes were treated with methylclofenapate in the presence and absence of cycloheximide. P450IVA1 RNA was significantly induced by methylclofenapate in the presence of cycloheximide, rising to 17-fold above control after 8 h. However, no induction of acyl-CoA oxidase RNA was detected in the presence of cycloheximide. Therefore we characterize the induction of acyl-CoA oxidase and P450IVA1 RNAs in primary hepatocyte culture in vitro as a faithful model of the induction response in rat liver, and suggest that induction of P450IVA1 RNA is a primary event in the process of peroxisome proliferation.
