Product Data
Biological target:
Cetaben is a PPARα-independent peroxisome proliferator.
In vitro activity:
Human HepG2 and rat MH1C1 hepatoma cell lines were examined for their response to cetaben, an exceptional type of peroxisome proliferator. Shape change and proliferation of peroxisomes as well as induction of selected peroxisomal enzymes catalase, acyl-CoA oxidase, and peroxisomal bifunctional enzyme, were assessed in response to cetaben. In MH1C1 cells, peroxisomes were seen in clusters displaying typical features of microperoxisomes. Cetaben caused little but reversible proliferation and morphological heterogeneity with the occurrence of dumbbell-shaped and cup-shaped peroxisomal profiles. Peroxisomes in HepG2 cells showed marked variation in size and shape. Cetaben treatment of HepG2 cells caused disintegration of Golgi regions and augmented mitochondrial matrix. Interestingly, MH1C1 cells showed different subunit composition of acyl-CoA oxidase in immunoblot analysis: only subunit A at 72 kDa was detected but not the cleavage products. In situ hybridization underlined the marked morphological heterogeneity observed, and both cell lines revealed different stages of gene expression. These results indicate that cetaben represents an extraordinary type of peroxisomal proliferator with pleiotropic effects on human and rat hepatoma cells, and, at least in the human hepatoma cell line HepG2, these effects are not restricted to peroxisome proliferation.

In vivo activity:
The effects of cetaben and clofibric acid were compared on the activities of peroxisomal enzymes in the liver and kidney of male Wistar rats. Cetaben at 200 mg/kg body wt increased the activities of all of the enzymes in the liver that were studied two to eight times, whereas the changes induced by the same dose of clofibric acid increased some of the enzymes and decreased others. In the kidney, cetaben increased the activities of all investigated peroxisomal enzymes, while clofibric acid only increased the activity of palmitoyl-CoA oxidase. The data obtained in the dose-response study of cetaben revealed a significant rise in the activities of peroxisomal enzymes in both the liver and kidney at doses of 50-100 mg/kg body wt administered over 10 days, but the maximal effect was observed at 250 mg/kg. Palmitoyl-CoA oxidase and D-amino acid oxidase respond most markedly to cetaben. Cetaben could represent an atypical peroxisomal proliferator, since it increased the activities of all peroxisomal enzymes investigated. The fact that the individual components localized in the peroxisomes do not change markedly could be of importance with respect to the function and physical properties of peroxisomes.
