[Study on the interaction between the skin detoxifying enzyme glutathione S-transferase and the substances listed in the CE/39/2000 rules with the "skin" annotation, finalized to the biological monitoring of exposed subjects].

The interaction among chemicals listed in the Directive CE/39/2000 with skin notation and glutathione S-transferase (GSTP1-1) was studied by following two different experimental approaches. The compounds were incubated with the purified GST isoenzyme GSTP1-1 as well as with the human keratinocytes (PR5) selectively expressing GSTP1-1. Some of the molecules affected the enzymatic activity of both the purified and the intracellular GSTP1-1. In particular, 1,2-dichlorobenzene (DCB), ethylbenzene (ETB), cumene, Sulphotep and 2-eptanone (2-EPT) behaved as inhibitors of the purified GSTP1-1 enzyme, with different inhibition properties according to molecular structure. With the exception of Sulphotep showing a Ki value of 0.2 mM, all compounds reported above were characterized by high Ki values (between 2 and 16 mM) and therefore by low affinity towards GSTP1-1. These results make unlikely the use of a biosensor, based on immobilized GSTP1-1, for the detection of these molecules. On the contrary, Sulphotep can be the object of future investigations. It has to be stressed that the above listed compounds were effective on human keratinocytes, at concentrations two order of magnitude lower than that effective on purified GSTP1-1. In particular, cumene and DCB triggered a clear increase of the intracellular GSTP1-1 activity at concentrations lower than 0.1mM. These interesting results let to hypothesize the use of GSTP1-1 present in the keratinocytes as a marker for biological monitoring of workers exposed to these compounds as well as to evaluate the skin permeability of toxic compounds, not yet identified with a skin notation.
