N2 - Selenium added to the incubation mix containing rat-liver S9 modified both the metabolism and mutagenicity of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) and several of its metabolites. Selenium (Na2SeO3) inhibited the S9-dependent mutagenic effects of BaP on Salmonella typhimurium strain TA100 as indicated by the number of histidine-dependent revertants counted. This inhibition was concentration-dependent over a range of 12.5 to 100 ppm. When used as the substrate the BaP metabolites 7,8-dihydrodiol, 9,10-dihydrodiol and 3-hydroxy also produced significantly fewer revertants in TA100 when selenium was included in the incubation mix. High-performance liquid chromatographic analysis of metabolites from S9-dependent metabolism of BaP indicated that selenium inhibited the formation of 3-hydroxy-BaP, 9,10-dihydrodiol, 7,8-dihydrodiol, 1,3- and 3,6-quinone. Eluting samples on an alumina column to isolate the conjugated metabolites showed that selenium caused 12% less binding to glucuronides, no significant differences in binding to sulfate esters or glutathione but the amount of unmetabolized BaP and unconjugated metabolites was increased by 48%. These results suggest that selenium inhibits S9-dependent BaP metabolism therefore reducing the mutagenic effects of this compound.
