The importance of environmental and dietary arylamines, and heterocyclic amines in the etiology of human cancer is of growing interest. These pre-carcinogens are known to undergo bioactivation by cytochrome P450 (CYP)-directed oxidation, which then become substrates for the UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs). Thus, glucuronidation may contribute to the elimination of CYP-mediated reactive intermediate metabolites, preventing a toxic event. In this study, human UGTs were analyzed for their ability to modulate the mutagenic actions of  N -hydroxy-arylamines formed by CYP1A2. Studies with recombinant human UGT1A1, UGT1A3, UGT1A4, UGT1A6, UGT1A7, UGT1A8, UGT1A9, UGT1A10, UGT2B4, UGT2B7 and UGT2B15 expressed in heterologous cell culture confirmed that UGT1A9 glucuronidated the mutagenic arylamines  N -hydroxy-2-acetylaminofluorene ( N -hydroxy-2AAF) and 2-hydroxyamino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo(4,5- b )pyridine ( N -hydroxy-PhIP). To examine the mutagenic potential of these agents, a genotoxicity assay was employed using  Salmonella typhimurium  NM2009, a bacterial strain expressing the  umuC  SOS response gene fused to a β-galactosidase reporter  lacZ  gene. DNA modification results in the induction of the  umuC  gene and subsequent enhancement of β-galactosidase activity. Both  N -hydroxy-2AAF and  N -hydroxy-PhIP stimulated a dose-dependent increase in bacterial β-galactosidase activity. In addition, the procarcinogens 2AAF and PhIP were efficiently bioactivated to bacterial mutagens when incubated with  Escherichia coli  membranes expressing CYP1A2 and NADPH reductase. CYP1A2 generated 2AAF- and PhIP-mediated DNA damage, but only the action of  N -hydroxy-2AAF was blocked by expressed UGT1A9. These results indicate that UGT1A9 can control the outcome of a genotoxic response. The results also indicate that while a potential toxicant such as  N -hydroxy-PhIP can serve as substrate for glucuronidation, its biological actions can exceed the capacity of the detoxification pathway to prevent the mutagenic episode.
