Functional significance of a C-->A polymorphism in intron 1 of the cytochrome P450 CYP1A2 gene tested with caffeine

AIMS: The cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP1A2 metabolises several drugs and carcinogens. We wanted to determine how much of the variability of CYP1A2 activity is explained by a newly discovered gene polymorphism in intron 1. METHODS: A single nucleotide polymorphism in intron 1 of the CYP1A2 gene at position 734 downstream of the first transcribed nucleotide was identified by DNA sequence analysis. The functional significance of this C/A polymorphism was assessed in 185 healthy Caucasian non-smokers and in 51 smokers by genotyping and phenotyping using caffeine (100 mg oral dose). RESULTS: Out of the total sample, 46% were homozygous for the variant A, 44% were heterozygous, and 10% were homozygous for the variant C. The ratio of 1,7-dimethylxanthine (17X) plus 1,7-dimethyluric acid divided by caffeine in 0-5 h urine samples from 185 non-smokers did not differ significantly between the three CYP1A2 genotypes. In the 51 smokers, analysis of variance revealed significant differences in the 5 h plasma 17X/caffeine ratios between the genotypes (P=0.008, F-test). The mean ratio was 1.37 in carriers of the A/A genotype, 0.88 in heterozygotes and 0.82 in carriers of C/C. The mean difference between the A/A and C/A groups was 0.48 (95% confidence interval 0. 15-0.81; P=0.01). CONCLUSIONS: The A/A genotype, which may represent a CYP1A2 high inducibility genotype, may either be a direct cause of increased CYP1A2 activity, or be genetically linked to polymorphisms conferring high inducibility. Further studies are needed to define the role of this polymorphism on the pharmacokinetics of drugs metabolised by CYP1A2 and in the activation of carcinogens.

Variability of cytochrome P450 1A2 activity over time in young and elderly healthy volunteers

AIMS: To assess the age-associated changes over time of plasma paraxanthine/caffeine (PAX/CAF) ratios used as a probe for CYP1A2 activity. METHODS: Intraindividual and interindividual variabilities in PAX/CAF ratio were compared by phenotyping with caffeine, 16 young and 16 elderly healthy subjects on five occasions. RESULTS: PAX/CAF ratio variability was comparable regardless of age (intraindividual CV: 17.6 +/- 6% and 16.2 +/- 5.9%, interindividual CV: 48.1 +/- 2.9% and 42.7 +/- 3.6% in young and elderly, respectively). The PAX/CAF ratio was lower in elderly than in young subjects (95% CI for the difference: 0.004, 0.32) but the difference was not significant in nonsmokers compared separately. CONCLUSIONS: The variability over time of the PAX/CAF ratio is not influenced by age.

以咖啡因为代谢探针测定细胞色素P450 CYP2A6活性

细胞色素P450CYP2A6（CYP2A6）是体内重要的药物代谢酶之一，主要在肝脏表达，约占肝脏细胞色素P450酶的5％。CYP2A6参与抗肿瘤药（环磷酰胺和异环磷酰胺）、麻醉药（氟烷和甲氧氟烷）、前致癌物（黄曲霉素B1、亚硝胺盐等）、环境化合物（汽油醚）及烟草中尼古丁的代谢。CYP2A6活性与这些物质的疗效或毒性以及一些肿瘤的易感性密切相关，测定CY1Y2A6活性有助于预测药物疗效、预防药物毒副反应及肿瘤病因调查。     

体外研究人细胞色素P450在雌二醇代谢中的作用(英文)

目的:研究雌二醇在cDNA表达的P450和人肝微粒体中的代谢机制,为在体内研究细胞色素P450活性与肿瘤发生的关系提供依据。方法:用HPLC-ECD法测定雌二醇的代谢产物。通过雌二醇在不同cDNA表达的P450中代谢,13例人肝微粒体中相关性研究,抑制剂对代谢的影响以及微粒体中17β-羟基脱氢化和2-羟基化代谢的催化动力学的研究来推断雌二醇的代谢机理。结果:在cDNA表达的P450中,催化2-羟基化代谢的P450按活性排列依次为CYP1A2、CYP3A4、CYP2C9。CYP2C9、CYP2C19和CYP2C8均具有较高的催化17β-羟基脱氢化活性。抑制CYP1A2与抑制CYP3A4对2-羟基化代谢产物生成的影响相似,可认为CYP1A2和CYP3A4在人肝微粒体中催化2-羟基化代谢的作用相近。雌二醇代谢的途径与底物浓度有关,低浓度时(1,10μmol/L)17β-羟基脱氢化为主要代谢途径;高浓度时(100μmol/L),2-羟基化成为主要代谢途径。结论:高底物浓度时,雌二醇主要由CYP1A2和CYP3A4催化代谢为2-羟基化产物。低底物浓度时,主要由CYP2C9、CYP2C19和CYP2C8催化生成17β-羟基去氢化产物。     

Effect of diethyldithiocarbamate (DDC) and ticlopidine on CYP1A2 activity and caffeine metabolism: an in vitro comparative study with human cDNA-expressed CYP1A2 and liver microsomes

The aim of the present study was to test the effect of diethyldithiocarbamate (DDC), which is regarded as a cytochrome P450 (CYP) CYP2A6 and CYP2E1 inhibitor, and ticlopidine, an efficient CYP2B6, CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 inhibitor, on the activity of human CYP1A2 and the metabolism of caffeine (1-N-, 3-N- and 7-N-demethylation, and C-8-hydroxylation). The experiment was carried out in vitro using human cDNA-expressed CYP1A2 (Supersomes) and human pooled liver microsomes. The effects of DDC and ticlopidine were compared to those of furafylline (a strong CYP1A2 inhibitor). A comparative in vitro study provides clear evidence that ticlopidine and DDC, applied at concentrations that inhibit the above-mentioned CYP isoforms, potently (as compared to furafylline) inhibit human CYP1A2 and caffeine metabolism, in particular 1-N- and 3-N-demethylation.

Identification of a novel splice-site mutation in the CYP1A2 gene

AIMS: To identify the molecular basis for a low CYP1A2 metabolic status, as determined by a caffeine phenotyping test, in a 71-year-old, nonsmoking, Caucasian woman who presented with very high clozapine concentrations despite being administered a standard dose of the drug. METHODS: The nucleotide sequence of the 7 exons, exon-intron boundaries and 5'-flanking region of the CYP1A2 gene was analysed by direct sequencing. RESULTS: Only one heterozygous point mutation was identified in the donor splice site of intron 6 (3534G > A) of CYP1A2. This mutation could cause abnormal RNA splicing and therefore lead to a truncated nonfunctional enzyme. No other carrier of this mutation was identified in a population of 100 unrelated healthy Caucasians. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first report of a splice-site mutation affecting the CYP1A2 gene. This polymorphism is a likely explanation for the low CYP1A2 activity associated with high clozapine concentrations in this patient.     

Metabolism of bilirubin by human cytochrome P450 2A6

The mouse cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2A5 has recently been shown to function as hepatic “Bilirubin Oxidase” (Abu-Bakar, A., et al., 2011. Toxicol. Appl. Pharmacol. 257, 14-22). To date, no information is available on human CYP isoforms involvement in bilirubin metabolism. In this paper we provide novel evidence for human CYP2A6 metabolising the tetrapyrrole bilirubin. Incubation of bilirubin with recombinant yeast microsomes expressing the CYP2A6 showed that bilirubin inhibited CYP2A6-dependent coumarin 7-hydroxylase activity to almost 100% with an estimated K_i of 2.23 μM. Metabolite screening by a high-performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry indicated that CYP2A6 oxidised bilirubin to biliverdin and to three other smaller products with m/z values of 301, 315 and 333. Molecular docking analyses indicated that bilirubin and its positively charged intermediate interacted with key amino acid residues at the enzyme's active site. They were stabilised at the site in a conformation favouring biliverdin formation. By contrast, the end product, biliverdin was less fitting to the active site with the critical central methylene bridge distanced from the CYP2A6 haem iron facilitating its release. Furthermore, bilirubin treatment of HepG2 cells increased the CYP2A6 protein and activity levels with no effect on the corresponding mRNA. Co-treatment with cycloheximide (CHX), a protein synthesis inhibitor, resulted in increased half-life of the CYP2A6 compared to cells treated only with CHX. Collectively, the observations indicate that the CYP2A6 may function as human “Bilirubin Oxidase” where bilirubin is potentially a substrate and a regulator of the enzyme.     

Oxidation of 1-chloropyrene by human CYP1 family and CYP2A subfamily cytochrome P450 enzymes: catalytic roles of two CYP1B1 and five CYP2A13 allelic variants

1.?1-Chloropyrene, one of the major chlorinated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon contaminants, was incubated with human cytochrome P450 (P450 or CYP) enzymes including CYP1A1, 1A2, 1B1, 2A6, 2A13, 2B6, 2C9, 2D6, 2E1, 3A4 and 3A5. Catalytic differences in 1-chloropyrene oxidation by polymorphic two CYP1B1 and five CYP2A13 allelic variants were also examined.

2.?CYP1A1 oxidized 1-chloropyrene at the 6- and 8-positions more actively than at the 3-position, while both CYP1B1.1 and 1B1.3 preferentially catalyzed 6-hydroxylation.

3.?Five CYP2A13 allelic variants oxidized 8-hydroxylation much more than 6- and 3-hydroxylation, and the variant CYP2A13.3 was found to slowly catalyze these reactions with a lower k_cat value than other CYP2A13.1 variants.

4.?CYP2A6 catalyzed 1-chloropyrene 6-hydroxylation at a higher rate than the CYP2A13 enzymes, but the rate was lower than the CYP1A1 and 1B1 variants. Other human P450 enzymes had low activities towards 1-chloropyrene.

5.?Molecular docking analysis suggested differences in the interaction of 1-chloropyrene with active sites of CYP1 and 2?A enzymes. In addition, a naturally occurring Thr134 insertion in CYP2A13.3 was found to affect the orientation of Asn297 in the I-helix in interacting with 1-chloropyrene (and also 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone, NNK) and caused changes in the active site of CYP2A13.3 as compared with CYP2A13.1.     

Phenotypic polymorphism and gender-related differences of CYP1A2 activity in a Chinese population

AIMS: To investigate the distribution characteristics of CYP1A2 in a Chinese population, and to examine gender-related differences in CYP1A2 activity. METHODS: Two hundred and twenty-nine healthy subjects, 120 men and 109 women, were enrolled in this study. CYP1A2 activity was measured by plasma paraxanthine/caffeine (1,7X/1,3,7X) ratio 6 h after administration of 300 mg caffeine. The concentrations of paraxanthine and caffeine in plasma were detected by h.p.l.c. RESULTS: A 16-fold variation of CYP1A2 activity (range 0. 09 to 1.46) was shown in this study. The coefficient of variation (CV %) of CYP1A2 activity was 62.9%. Non-normal distribution of CYP1A2 activity was indicated by the Shapiro-Wilk test (P<0.001). Probit plots of CYP1A2 activity revealed a bimodal distribution with breakpoint of 1,7X/1,3,7X ratio of 0.12. The percentage of poor metabolizers (PMs) was 5.24% (95% CI: 2.35% approximately 8.13%) in this Chinese population. Residual analysis of the data also supported bimodality (P<0.01). The CYP1A2 activity of men was higher than that of women (median: 0.33 vs 0.23, P<0.001). A probit plot of CYP1A2 activity in men was shifted to the left compared with that in women. Based on phenotype, the gender-related difference was observed in extensive metabolizers (EMs) (P<0.001), but not in PMs (P >0.1). In addition, there was no sex-related difference in the incidence of PMs (P >0.1). CONCLUSIONS: There is a phenotypic polymorphism in CYP1A2 activity in this Chinese population, and CYP1A2 activity is higher in men than that in women.     

Point mutation of cytochrome P450 2A6 (a polymorphic variant CYP2A6.25) confers new substrate specificity towards flavonoids

CYP2A6 is a major hepatic member of the cytochrome P450 family in humans. Much variation in CYP2A6 levels and activity can be attributed to genetic polymorphisms of this gene. CYP2A6*25 comprises an amino acid substitution, F118L. To clarify the effect of the leucine substitution at position 118 in CYP2A6.25, this variant, wild type CYP2A6 and three additional variants consisting of artificial mutations at the substrate binding site (position 481) suggested by earlier reports using random mutagenesis studies [CYP2A6.1, CYP2A6.25, CYP2A6.1(F118A), CYP2A6.1(A481G) and CYP2A6.25(A481G)], were co‐expressed with NADPH‐cytochrome P450 reductase in E. coli. The hydroxylase activity of these variants toward 7‐ethoxycoumarin, coumarin, flavone, α‐naphthoflavone, flavanone and hydroxyflavanone were examined. All the mutants had lower activities for coumarin 7‐hydroxylation than the wild type. All the mutants showed higher activities for flavone and α‐naphthoflavone compared with CYP2A6.1. CYP2A6.1 had the highest flavanone 2′‐hydroxylase activity, whereas CYP2A6.25 had the highest 6‐ and 4′‐hydroxylase activities. CYP2A6.1(F118A), CYP2A6.1(A481G) and CYP2A6.25(A481G) had higher flavanone 3′‐hydroxylase activities than CYP2A6.1 and CYP2A6.25. Furthermore, 4′‐hydroxyflavanone was metabolized by CYP2A6.25. These results indicate that the CYP2A6.25 mutation confers new substrate specificity towards flavonoids. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
