Inhibition of NADPH cytochrome P450 reductase by the model sulfur mustard vesicant 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide is associated with increased production of reactive oxygen species

Inhalation of vesicants including sulfur mustard can cause significant damage to the upper airways. This is the result of vesicant-induced modifications of proteins important in maintaining the integrity of the lung. Cytochrome P450s are the major enzymes in the lung mediating detoxification of sulfur mustard and its metabolites. NADPH cytochrome P450 reductase is a flavin-containing electron donor for cytochrome P450. The present studies demonstrate that the sulfur mustard analog, 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (CEES), is a potent inhibitor of human recombinant cytochrome P450 reductase, as well as native cytochrome P450 reductase from liver microsomes of saline and β-naphthoflavone-treated rats, and cytochrome P450 reductase from type II lung epithelial cells. Using rat liver microsomes from β-naphthoflavone-treated rats, CEES was found to inhibit CYP 1A1 activity. This inhibition was overcome by microsomal cytochrome P450 reductase from saline-treated rats, which lack CYP 1A1 activity, demonstrating that the CEES inhibitory activity was selective for cytochrome P450 reductase. Cytochrome P450 reductase also generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) via oxidation of NADPH. In contrast to its inhibitory effects on the reduction of cytochrome c and CYP1A1 activity, CEES was found to stimulate ROS formation. Taken together, these data demonstrate that sulfur mustard vesicants target cytochrome P450 reductase and that this effect may be an important mechanism mediating oxidative stress and lung injury.     

Cyp3A regulation: from pharmacology to nuclear receptors.

Among the human liver cytochrome P450s (P450s), a family of microsomal hemoproteins responsible for catalyzing the oxidative metabolism of clinically used drugs and environmental chemicals, attention has been focused on CYP3A, a form that is the most abundant and is inducible by many of its substrates. From early pharmacological studies that demonstrated induction of CYP3A by glucocorticoids and, paradoxically, by antiglucocorticoids, the existence of a nonclassical glucocorticoid receptor mechanism was inferred and prompted research that culminated in the identification of a unique member of the nuclear receptor family, the pregnane X receptor (PXR; NR1I2). It has become increasingly evident that PXR as well as other nuclear receptors mediate CYP3A induction in a unique and complex manner including inducibility by structurally diverse compounds and striking interspecies differences in induction profiles. Future understanding of the role of nuclear receptors in regulating expression of CYP3A and other genes of the P450 family offers an exciting promise of further defining the physiologic function and interindividual differences of CYP3A in health and disease.     

Proteome studies on liver tissue in a phenobarbital-induced rat model

Many drugs may affect the activity of cytochrome P450 (CYP), which is a major source of adverse drug interactions (ADR). Phenobarbital (PB) is the typical inducer of cytochrome P450. The aim of our study was to determine the changes in the cytosolic proteins expression in rat liver at a protein level following induction of cytochrome P450. Firstly, we made a phenobarbital-induced cytochrome P450 rat model. The total cytosolic proteins were then extracted from rat liver tissue and separated by 2-D gel electrophoresis (2-DE). Differentially expressed spots were identified by MALDI-TOF/TOF tandem mass spectrometry followed by database searching. Eight differentially expressed proteins were identified and these proteins were found to be involved in protein degradation, oxidative stress, energy metabolism, biotransformation, and the synthesis of quinolinic acid (QUIN). These findings should provide useful information for research into the regulation of cytochrome P450 gene expression, drug metabolism and drug interaction.     

Identification of a novel dioxin-inducible cytochrome P450.

Representational difference analysis was used to isolate cDNAs corresponding to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (dioxin)-inducible genes from mouse Hepa-1 cells. One cDNA encoded a novel cytochrome P450. The human homolog was also isolated and later proved to be human CYP2S1. The induction of mouse CYP2S1 mRNA by dioxin represents a primary response and required the aryl hydrocarbon receptor and aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator proteins. The induction of CYP2S1 also occurred in mouse liver and lung, with the highest expression found in lung. CYP2S1 was also inducible in a human lung epithelial cell line. The dioxin-inducibility of CY2S1 is exceptional, because all previously well-characterized cases of the induction of cytochromes P450 by dioxin involve members of the CYP1 family.     

The hepatic cytochrome P450 reductase null mouse as a tool to identify a successful candidate entity

Cytochrome P450s (CYP) play a pivotal role in the metabolism of drugs and xenobiotics, and have been intensively studied over many years. Much of the work carried out on the role of hepatic cytochrome P450s in drug metabolism and disposition has been done in vitro, and has yielded vital information on P450 regulation and function. However, additional factors such as route of administration, absorption, drug transporters, renal clearance and extra-hepatic P450s, make it difficult to extrapolate from in vitro data to in vivo pharmacokinetics. A number of cytochrome P450s knockout mice have been generated, although many have been of limited usefulness due to either embryonic/perinatal lethality, or the functional redundancy inevitably found in a large family of isoenzymes. We have developed a mouse line (HRN) in which cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (POR), the unique electron donor to cytochrome P450s is deleted specifically in the liver, resulting in the loss of essentially all hepatic P450 function. The HRN mouse, although having disturbances in lipid and bile acid homeostasis develops and breeds normally. We have used the HRN mouse as a model to establish the role of hepatic versus extra-hepatic metabolism in drug metabolism and disposition, and also to investigate the relationship between drug toxicokinetics and therapeutic effect, initially with the chemotherapeutic prodrug cyclophosphamide (CPA).     

Tumour cytochrome P450 and drug activation

The expression of drug metabolising cytochrome P450s (CYPs) notably 1A, 1B, 2C, 3A, 2D subfamily members have been identified in a wide range of human cancers. Individual tumour types have distinct P450 profiles as studied by detection of P450 activity, identification of immunoreactive CYP protein and detection of CYP mRNA. Selected P450s, especially CYP1B1, are overexpressed in tumours including cancers of the lung, breast, liver, gastrointestinal tract, prostate, bladder. Several prodrug anti-tumour agents have retrospectively been identified as P450 substrates for which tumour CYP activation may hitherto have been underestimated. Those in clinical use include prodrug alkylating agents (cyclophosphamide, ifosphamide, dacarbazine, procarbazine), Tegafur, a prodrug fluoropyrimidine, methoxymorphylinodoxorubicin, a metabolically activated anthracycline, as well as flutamide and tamoxifen, two non-steroidal hormone receptor antagonists that are significantly more active following CYP-hydroxylation. More exciting is the prospect of developing new agents designed to be selectively dependent on tumour CYP activation. This can be illustrated with P450 activation of the 2-(4-aminophenyl)benzothiazoles exclusively in CYP1A1 inducible tumours. Also of interest is the bioreductive antitumour prodrug AQ4N, a CYP3A substrate that is activated to a cytotoxic metabolite specifically in hypoxic tumour regions.     

Up-regulation of the CYP1 family in rat and human liver by the aliphatic isothiocyanates erucin and sulforaphane

On the basis of animal studies, the chemopreventive activity of isothiocyanates has been linked to their ability to modulate carcinogen-metabolising enzyme systems, including cytochrome P450. However, the potential of isothiocyanates to influence these enzyme systems in human liver has not been investigated. We have evaluated the modulation of cytochrome P450 expression in two human liver samples by erucin and sulforaphane, in comparison to rat, following the incubation of precision-cut human and rat liver slices with the two isothiocyanates. Both compounds failed to influence cytochrome P450 activity, as exemplified by the dealkylations of methoxy-, ethoxy- and pentoxyresorufin, and benzyloxyquinoline, in either human or rat liver. Impairment of activity was, however, observed in some activities at high concentrations (50microM), which was attributed to toxicity. At the apoprotein level, however, both compounds markedly elevated CYP1A2/1B1 levels in rat liver, but in human liver only a modest increase was evident, and only in one of the livers. CYP3A2 apoprotein levels were modestly elevated in rat liver by both isothiocyanates both of which, however, failed to influence CYP3A4 expression in human liver. Neither isothiocyanate, in either rat or human liver, modulated CYP2B apoprotein levels. It may be inferred that (a) human and rat liver differ in their response to erucin and sulforaphane, (b) erucin and sulforaphane, despite being small molecular weight aliphatic compounds, up-regulate the CYP1 family but no increase in activity is observed as a result of mechanism-based inhibition, and (c) the chemopreventive effect of isothiocyanates, at dietary levels of intake, is unlikely to be due to inhibition of the cytochrome P450-mediated bioactivation of carcinogens.     

Detection of human lung cytochromes P450 that are immunochemically related to cytochrome P450IIE1 and cytochrome P450IIIA.

We have used monoclonal antibodies that were prepared against and specifically recognize human hepatic cytochromes P450 as probes for solid phase radioimmunoassay and Western immunoblotting to directly demonstrate the presence in human lung microsomes of cytochromes P450 immunochemically related to human liver cytochromes P450IIE1 (CYP2E1) and P450IIIA (CYP3A). The detected levels of these cytochromes are much lower than levels in human liver microsomes, but similar to the levels seen in microsomes from untreated baboon lung. Proteins immunochemically related to two other constitutive hepatic cytochromes P450, cytochrome P450IIC8 (CYP2C8) and cytochrome P450IIC9 (CYP2C9), were not detectable in lung microsomes.     

A proteomic approach to the identification of cytochrome P450 isoforms in male and female rat liver by nanoscale liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry.

Nanoscale reversed-phase liquid chromatography (LC) combined with electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS) has been used as a method for the direct identification of multiple cytochrome P450 (P450) isoforms found in male and female rat liver. In this targeted proteomic approach, rat liver microsomes were subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by in-gel tryptic digestion of the proteins present in the 48- to 62-kDa bands. The resultant peptides were extracted and analyzed by LC-ESI-MS/MS. P450 identifications were made by searching the MS/MS data against a rat protein database containing 21,576 entries including 47 P450s using Sequest software (Thermo Electron, Hemel Hempstead, UK). Twenty-four P450 isoforms from the subfamilies 1A, 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 2E, 3A, 4A, 4F, CYP17, and CYP19 were positively identified in rat liver.
