It was postulated that reversible, high-affinity binding of 3-methylcholanthrene(MC)-type inducers to a receptor protein (the Ah receptor) in rat hepatic cytosol was essential for induction of aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) enzymic activity. The binding affinities of 16 highly-purified, synthetic chlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners, categorized as phenobarbitone(PB)-, MC- or mixed (PB + MC)-type inducers of cytochrome P-450-dependent monooxygenases were examined. The affinity of individual biphenyl congeners for the receptor was determined by their competition with 2,3,7,8-[3H]eterachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin ([3H]TCDD) for specific cytosolic binding sites as measured by sucrose density gradient analysis following dextran-charcoal treatment. This assay demonstrated that the receptor bound with highest affinity to 3,3'',4,4'',5-pentachlorobiphenyl and 3,3'',4,4''-tetrachlorobiphenyl (pure MC-like inducers). Mixed-type PCB inducers also bound to the receptor but with an affinity (average EC50 value of 8.6 .mu.M) lower than that for 3,3'',4,4'',5-pentachlorobiphenyl; this corresponded with their relatively lower potencies as AHH inducers. The receptor bounds 2,2'',4,4''-tetra-, 2,3,4,5-tetra-, 2,2'',4,4'',5,5''-hexa- and 2,3'',4,4'',5'',6-hexachlorobiphenyl at high concentrations (0.1 mM); PB failed to bind, even at 10 mM. All PCB competed with [3H]TCDD for Ah receptor but there was a great variation in their relative binding affinities. The fact that 2 chlorinated biphenyls classed as PB-like inducers and 2 chlorinated biphenyls which not PB- or MC-type inducers competed, coupled with the fact that PB did not bind to the receptor suggested that chemicals other than pure MC-type inducers bound to the cytosolic receptor. Affinity of the binding dictated the relative potency of given PCB congeners as inducers of cytochrome P-448.
