Pyridine and acetone are efficacious inducers of CYP2E1 in both rats and rabbits. The response in the elevation of CYP2E1 levels, changes in CYP2E1 mRNA levels, and enhanced translational processing of hepatic CYP2E1 mRNA during the early phase of CYP2E1 induction by the solvents pyridine and acetone were examined. Time-depen-dent incease in CYP2E1 levels occurred at early times (6-24h) following a single dose of pyridine treatmene, as assessed by Western immunoblot analysis, whereas the levels in CYP2E1 mRNA transiently decreased at 12h post-treatment, returning to the level present in untreated animals.

The rats with protein-calorie malnutrition (PCM, 5％ casein diet for a period of 4-week) were reported to exhibit 60 and 80％ suppression in the hepatic microsomal cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1 A2 and CYP2C11 levels, respectively, and 40-50％ decreases in CYP2E1 and CYP3A 1/2 levels compared to control (23％ casein diet for a period of 4-week) based on Western blot analysis. In addition, Northern blot analysis showed that CYP1 A2, CYP2E1, CYP2C11, and CYP3A1/2 mRNAs decreased in the state of PCM as well. Hence, pharmacokinetic changes of the drugs in rats with PCM [especially the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to time infinity (AUC) changes of metabolite(s)] reported from literatures were tried to explain in terms of CYP isozyme changes in the rats. Otherwise, the time-averaged nonrenal clearance ($CL_{NR}$) of parent drug was compared. Pharmacokinetic changes of the drugs in other types of malnutritional state, such as kwashiorkor and marasmus, in both human and animal models were also compared. The drugs reviewed are as follows： diuretics, antibiotics, anticancer agents, antiepileptics, antiarrythmics, analgesics, xanthines, antimalarials, and miscellaneous.

Trolox is a hydrophilic analogue of vitamin E. The aim of this study was to investigate its effects on hepatic injury, especially alteration in cytochrome P450 (CYP)-dependent drug metabolism during polymicrobial sepsis. Rats were subjected to polymicrobial sepsis by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). The rats were treated intravenously with Trolox (2.5 mg/kg) or vehicle, immediately after CLP. Serum aminotransferases and lipid peroxidation levels were markedly increased 24 h after CLP. This increase was attenuated by Trolox. Total CYP content and NADPH-P450 reductase activity decreased significantly 24 h after CLP. This decrease in CYP content was attenuated by Trolox. At 24 h after CLP, there was a significant decrease in the activity of these CYP isozymes: CYP1A1, 1A2, 2B1, and 2E1. However, Trolox differentially inhibited the decrease in CYP isozyme activity. Trolox had little effect on the decrease in CYP1A1 activity but Trolox significantly attenuated decreases in CYP1A2 and 2E1 activities. In fact, Trolox restored CYP2B1 activity to the level of activity found in control rats. Our findings suggest that Trolox reduces hepatocellular damage as indicated by abnormalities in hepatic drug-metabolizing function during sepsis. Our data also indicates that this protection is, in part, caused by decreased lipid peroxidation.

The genetically determined CYP2D6 activity as considered to be associated with cancer susceptibility with inter-individual variation. Genetic polymorphism of CYP2D6(B) and CYP2D6(T) was determined by the two polymerase chain reaction(PCR) and BstN1 and EcoN1 restriction fragment length polymorphisms(RFLP) for 67 lung cancer cases and 95 healthy volunteer controls. The cases were composed of 26 squamous cell carcinoma, 14 small cell carcinoma, 10 adenocarcinoma, 3 large cell undifferentiated carcinoma, and 14 not histologically diagnosed. The results were gained from the 142 subjects (57 cases and 85 controls) who observed successfully in two PCR and BstNl/EcoN1 RELP. Only one and no mutant allele of the CYP2D6(B) and CYP2D6(T) gene was detected, that is, the frequency of mutant allele was very low; 0.7%(1/142) and 0%(0/142), respectively. Detected mutant allele of the CYP2D6(B) was beterozygous type(WM). The odds ratios for lung cancer susceptibility with CYP2D6(B) and CYP2D6(T) genotype were not calculated. These results are similar to the previous understanding that the mutant allele is very rare in Orientals compared to Caucasians, therefore, it considered that CYP2D6(B) and CYP2D6(T) genotypes have maybe no association with lung cancer susceptibility in Koreans. This is the basic data of CYP2D6(B) and CYP2D6(T) genotypes for Koreans. It would be hepful for further study to determine lung cancer susceptibility of Koreans with the data about CYP1A1, CYP2E1, GSTM1 from future study.

Background: Previous published data on the association between CYP1A2 rs762551, rs2069514, rs2069526, and rs2470890 polymorphisms and lung cancer risk have not allowed a definite conclusion. The present meta-analysis of the literature was performed to derive a more precise estimation of the relationship. Materials and Methods: 8 publications covering 23 studies were selected for this meta-analysis, including 1,665 cases and 2,383 controls for CYP1A2 rs762551 (from 8 studies), 1,456 cases and 1,792 controls for CYP1A2 rs2069514 (from 7 studies), 657 cases and 984 controls for CYP1A2 rs2069526 (from 5 studies) and 691 cases and 968 controls for CYP1A2 rs2470890 (from 3 studies). Results: When all the eligible studies were pooled into the meta-analysis for the CYP1A2 rs762551 polymorphism, significantly increased lung cancer risk was observed in the dominant model (OR=1.21, 95 % CI=1.00-1.46). In the subgroup analysis by ethnicity, significantly increased risk of lung cancer was observed in Caucasians (dominant model: OR=1.29, 95%CI=1.11-1.51; recessive model: OR=1.33, 95%CI=1.01-1.75; additive model: OR=1.49, 95%CI=1.12-1.98). There was no evidence of significant association between lung cancer risk and CYP1A2 rs2069514, s2470890, and rs2069526 polymorphisms. Conclusions: In summary, this meta-analysis indicates that the CYP1A2 rs762551 polymorphism is linked to an increased lung cancer risk in Caucasians. Moreover, our work also points out the importance of new studies for rs2069514 associations in lung cancer, where at least some of the covariates responsible for heterogeneity could be controlled, to obtain a more conclusive understanding about the function of the rs2069514 polymorphism in lung cancer development.

1997년 3월부터 1998년 6월까지 충북대학교병원 내과에 입원하여 치료를 받은 폐암환자 98명과 암 아닌 다른 질환을 가진 대조군 98명을 대상으로 흡연, 음주, 여러 가지 질병과거력 등을 포함한 생활습관과, GSTM1과 GSTT1, 그리고 CYP1A1, CYP1E1 유전자 다형성 양상을 조사하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. GSTM1의 결손은 환자군이 67.01%, 대조군이 58.16%로 확인되었으며, OR(95% CI)이 1.46(0.82-2.62)으로 폐암 발생에 대해 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 2. GSTT1의 결손은 환자군이 58.76%, 대조군이 50.00%로 확인되었으며, OR (95% CD가 1.43(0.81-2.51)으로 폐암 발생과 관련이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 3. CYP1A1 유전자 다형성은 Ile/Ile, Ile/Val, Val/Val 환자군이 각각 59.18%, 35.71%, 5.10%, 대조군이 각각 52.04%, 45.92%, 2.04%로 CYP1A1 유전자 다형성과 폐암 위험도 사이의 관련성은 유의하지 않은 것으로 나타났다$(x^2trend=0.253,\;p-value>0.05)$. 4. CYP1E1 유전자 다형성은 c1/c1, c1/c2, c2/c2 형 이 환자군에서 각각 50.00%, 42.86%, 7.14%, 대조군에서 각각 66.33%, 30.61%, 3.06%로 CYP1E1 활성이 폐암 발생에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다$(x^2trend=5.783,\;p-value<0.05)$. 특히 환자군이 대조군에 비하여 아주 드문 대립유전자인 c2형이 더 많은 것으로 나타났다. 5. 폐암과 밀접한 연관이 있는 흡연습관의 OR(95% CI)이 3.03(1.58-5.81)으로 확인되어, 폐암의 위험인자로 재확인 되었다. 6. GSTM1, GSTT1, CYP1A1, CYP2-E1과 흡연습관을 포함한 다변량 분석에서 흡연습관만이 유의한 폐암의 위험인자로 나타났다. 이 결과로부터 위의 4가지 유전자의 다형성이 폐암발생에 미치는 영향은, 흡연을 포함한 환경적 요인에 비하여 크지 않을 것으로 판단된다.

Cytochrome P4501A2 (CYP1A2) is a member of the cytochrome P450 family of isozymes involved in the phase I drug metabolism of vertebrates. CYP1A2 is responsible for the activation of a number of aromatic amines to mutagenic and carcinogenic forms. Thus, the level of CYP1A2, which varies among different populations, may determine an individual's susceptibility to these chemicals. We have previously reported on the importance of a cis element named PRB (protected region B) in the regulation of human Cytochrome P4501A2 (CYP1A2) gene, which appeared to act as a positive regulatory element. Closer examination of the PRB sequence (-2218 to -2187 bp) revealed a putative AP-1 binding site, TGACTAA, at -2212 bp (Chung and Bresnick, 1997). To elucidate the role of AP-1 in CYP1A2 regulation, we transiently overexpressed c-Jun and c-Fos transcription factors in human hepatoma HepG2 cells, and examined their influence on the CYP1A2 promoter activity by reporter gene assays. Cotransfection of the c-Jun and the c-Fos expression vectors increased the induced transactivation by five to six fold from the CYP1A2 promoter constructs. However, deletion of the PRB element did not affect the degree of activation by the c-Jun and the c-Fos. Therefore, it is unlikely that the c-Jun and the c-Fos activate the CYP1A2 promoter through this AP-1 consensus-like sequence in the PRB region.

Background: We evaluated the drug interaction profile of Red Ginseng (RG) with respect to the activities of major cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes and the drug transporter P-glycoprotein (P-gp) in healthy Korean volunteers. Methods: This article describes an open-label, crossover study. CYP probe cocktail drugs, caffeine, losartan, dextromethorphan, omeprazole, midazolam, and fexofenadine were administered before and after RG supplementation for 2 wk. Plasma samples were collected, and tolerability was assessed. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated, and 90% confidence intervals (CIs) of the geometric mean ratios of the parameters were determined from logarithmically transformed data using analysis of variance after RG administration versus before RG administration. Results: Fourteen healthy male participants were evaluated, none of whom were genetically defined as poor CYP2C9, 2C19, and CYP2D6 metabolizers based on genotyping. Before and after RG administration, the geometric least-square mean metabolic ratio (90% CI) was 0.870 (0.805-0.940) for caffeine to paraxanthine (CYP1A2), 0.871 (0.800-0.947) for losartan (CYP2C9) to EXP3174, 1.027 (0.938-1.123) for omeprazole (CYP2C19) to 5-hydroxyomeprazole, 1.373 (0.864-2.180) for dextromethorphan to dextrorphan (CYP2D6), and 0.824 (0.658-1.032) for midazolam (CYP3A4) to 1-hydroxymidazolam. The geometric mean ratio of the area under the curve of the last sampling time ($AUC_{last}$) for fexofenadine (P-gp) was 0.963 (0.845-1.098). Administration of concentrated RG for 2 wk weakly inhibited CYP2C9 and CYP3A4 and weakly induced CYP2D6. However, no clinically significant drug interactions were observed between RG and CYP and P-gp probe substrates. Conclusion: RG has no relevant potential to cause CYP enzyme- or P-gp-related interactions.

플라스틱은 전세계적으로 사용량이 증가함에 따라 해양 환경으로 유입되는 플라스틱 쓰레기의 양도 꾸준히 증가하고 있으며, 미세플라스틱은 해양 생물에 의해 섭취되어 소화관에 축적됨에 따라 성장과 생식에 유해한 영향을 미친다. Cytochrome P450 (CYP)는 환경 오염물질을 대사하는 해독효소로 알려져 있으나 지각류에서는 그 기능에 대해서는 잘 알려져 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 기수산 물벼룩 Diaphanosoma celebensis에서 clan 2, 3, 4에 각각 속하는 CYP 유전자 9종(clan 2: CYP370A4, CYP370C5; clan 3: CYP350A1, CYP350C5, CYP361A1; clan 4: CYP4AN-like, CYP4AP2, CYP4AP3, CYP4C33-like1)의 서열에 대해 진화적으로 보존된 서열의 유사도를 분석하고 계통분석을 실시하였다. 또한 3종류의 서로 다른 크기의 polystyrene beads (0.05-, 0.5-, 6-㎛ PS beads; 0.1, 1, and 10 mg/L)에 48시간 노출된 기수산 물벼룩에서 이들 9종의 CYP 유전자의 발현을 real time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)로 분석하였다. 결과적으로 기수산 물벼룩 CYP 유전자는 모두 진화적으로 보존된 motif를 가지고 있으며 계통분석 결과 각각 clan 2, 3, 4에 속하는 것으로 확인되었다. 이는 기능적으로 보존되어 있음을 의미한다. CYP 유전자 중 clan 2에 속하는 CYP370C5와 clan 3에 속하는 CYP360A1, 그리고 clan 4에서는 CYP4C122 유전자의 발현이 0.05-㎛ PS beads에 노출되었을 때 유의하게 증가하는 양상을 보였으며, 이는 이들 유전자가 PS 대사에 관여한다는 것을 의미한다. 본 연구는 미세플라스틱이 해양 무척추 동물에 미치는 생물 영향을 분자적 수준에서 이해하는데 도움이 될 것이다.

The resveratrol analogue piceatannol (3,5,3',4'-tetrahydroxy-trans-stilbene) is a polyphenol present in grapes and wine and reported to have anti-carcinogenic activities. To investigate the mechanism of anticarcinogenic activities of piceatannol, the effects on CYP 1 enzymes were determined in Escherichia coli membranes coexpressing recombinant human CYP1A1, CYP1A2 or CYP1B1 with human NADPH-P450 reductase. Piceatannol showed a strong inhibition of CYP1A1 and CYP1B1 in a concentration-dependent manner, and $IC_{50}$ of human CYP1A1 and CYP1B1 was 5.8 ${\mu}M$ and 16.6 ${\mu}M$, respectively. However, piceatannol did not inhibit CYP1A2 activity in the concentration of up to 100 ${\mu}M$. Piceatannol exhibited 3-fold selectivity for CYP1B1 over CYP1A1. The mode of inhibition of piceatannol was non-competitive for CYP1A1 and CYP1B1. The result that piceatannol did not inhibit CYP1B1-mediated $\alpha$-naphthoflavone ($\alpha$-NF) metabolism suggests piceatannol may act as a non-competitive inhibitor as well. In human prostate carcinoma PC-3 cells, piceatannol induces apoptosis and prevents Aktmediated signal pathway. Taken together, abilities of piceatannol to induce apoptotic cell death as well as CYP1 enzyme inhibition make this compound a useful tool for cancer chemoprevention.
