Abstrakt: Several proteins have been shown to be synthesized in response to various environmental stimuli, including treatment with teratogens. The role of these proteins in the teratogenic process is unknown. Pregnant A/J mice were treated with either a teratogenic or a non-teratogenic dose of the anticonvulsant drug, phenytoin (PHT). Protein synthesis in embryonic craniofacial (target) tissue or forelimb buds (non-target) was determined by incorporation of radiolabeled leucine and analysis by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Synthesis of three proteins in target tissue and one protein in non-target tissue was stimulated by drug treatment. These results suggest that synthesis of specific stress proteins may serve as biomarkers of drug-target tissue interaction.
