Cholesterol-metabolizing cytochromes P450. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Irina A Pikuleva 《Drug metabolism and disposition》2006,34(4):513-520
By catalyzing the first steps in different pathways of cholesterol degradation, cytochromes P450 (P450s) 7A1, 27A1, 11A1, and 46A1 play key roles in cholesterol homeostasis. CYP7A1 is a microsomal liver-specific enzyme that converts cholesterol to 7alpha-hydroxycholesterol. CYP27A1 is a ubiquitously expressed mitochondrial P450 that metabolizes cholesterol to 27-hydroxycholesterol. CYP11A1 also resides in mitochondria but is expressed mainly in steroidogenic tissues, where it catalyzes the conversion of cholesterol to pregnenolone. Finally, CYP46A1 is a brain-selective microsomal monooxygenase producing 24S-hydroxycholesterol from cholesterol. Catalytic efficiencies of cholesterol-metabolizing P450s vary significantly and probably reflect physiological requirements of different organs for the rate of cholesterol turnover. P450s 7A1, 27A1, 11A1, and 46A1 represent a unique system for elucidation of how different enzymes have adapted to fit their specific roles in cholesterol elimination. Studies of cholesterol-metabolizing P450s suggest that their activities could be modulated post-translationally and that they should also be considered as targets for regulation of cholesterol homeostasis. 相似文献

Small intestinal cytochromes P450. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Small intestinal cytochromes P450 (P450) provide the principal, initial source of biotransformation of ingested xenobiotics. The consequences of such biotransformation are detoxification by facilitating excretion, or toxification by bioactivation. P450s occur at highest concentrations in the duodenum, near the pylorus, and at decreasing concentrations distally--being lowest in the ileum. Highest concentrations occur from midvillus to villous tip, with little or none occurring in the crypts of Lieberkuehn. Microsomal P4503A, 2C8-10, and 2D6 forms have been identified in human small intestine, and P450s 2B1, possibly 2B2, 2A1, and 3A1/2 were located in endoplasmic reticulum of rodent small intestine, while P4502B4 has been purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from rabbit intestine. Some evidence indicates a differential distribution of P450 forms along the length of the small intestine and even along the villus. Rat intestinal P450s are inducible by xenobiotics--with phenobarbital (PB) inducing P4502B1, 3-methylcholanthrene (3-MC) inducing P4501A1, and dexamethasone inducing two forms of P4503A. Induction is most effectively achieved by oral administration of the agents, and is rapid--aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) was increased within 1 h of administration of, for example, 3-MC. AHH, 7-ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase (ECOD), and 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) have been used most frequently as substrates to characterize intestinal P450s. Dietary factors affect intestinal P450s markedly--iron restriction rapidly decreased intestinal P450 to beneath detectable values; selenium deficiency acted similarly but was less effective; Brussels sprouts increased intestinal AHH activity 9.8-fold, ECOD activity 3.2-fold, and P450 1.9-fold; fried meat and dietary fat significantly increased intestinal EROD activity; a vitamin A-deficient diet increased, and a vitamin A-rich diet decreased intestinal P450 activities; and excess cholesterol in the diet increased intestinal P450 activity. The role of intestinal P450 in toxifying or detoxifying specific xenobiotics has been clearly demonstrated to only a limited extent. However, elevated intestinal P450 levels have been indirectly linked to gastrointestinal cancer. Intestinal metabolism of 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol produces intestinal lesions with consequent systemic bacterial infection. 相似文献

Recently, a chimeric mouse line in which the liver could be replaced by more than 80% with human hepatocytes was established in Japan. Because the chimeric mouse produces human albumin (hAlb), replacement by human hepatocytes could be estimated by the hAlb concentration in the blood of chimeric mice. In this study, we investigated human major cytochrome P450 (P450) in the livers of chimeric mice by mRNA, protein, and enzyme activity using real-time polymerase chain reaction, Western blot analysis, and high-performance liquid chromatography, respectively. Chimeric mice with humanized liver generated using hepatocytes from a Japanese and white donor were used. Human P450 mRNAs were expressed in the liver of chimeric mice, and major human P450 proteins such as CYP1A2, CYP2C9, and CYP3A4 were detected. The expression of P450 mRNA and protein was correlated with the hAlb concentration in the blood. The enzyme activities such as diclofenac 4'-hydroxylase activity, dexamethasone 6-hydroxylase activity, and coumarin 7-hydroxylase activity, activities that are specific to human P450 but not to murine P450, were increased in a hAlb concentration-dependent manner. The chimeric mice with nearly 90% replacement by human hepatocytes demonstrated almost the same protein contents of human P450s and drug-metabolizing enzyme activity as those of the donor. It was confirmed that genomic DNA from the livers of the chimeric mice and that from the liver of the donor exhibited the same genotype. In conclusion, the chimeric mice exhibited a similarly efficient capacity of drug metabolism as humans, suggesting that they could be a useful animal model for drug development. 相似文献

The induction of cytochromes P450 (CYPs) has been appreciated for some time but an understanding of the mechanisms involved has been poorly understood until recently. The discovery of the role of nuclear receptors such as the pregnane X receptor (PXR) and the constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) has provided a major trigger for research in this area. This work has provided an explanation for species differences in hepatic induction. The production of a PXR crystal structure in the presence and absence of known high affinity ligands has offered the possibility of predicting structures which may bind to the receptor and hence act as inducing agents in man. An improvement in the technology of hepatocyte culture, access to good quality human hepatocytes and the miniaturisation of cultured preparations has meant that the potential of this technique to predict induction in man has been realised. Molecular biological techniques have also proved essential in both the science and the quantitation of CYP induction. The use of transient transfection cell based systems coupled with reporter gene assays have meant that dose response curves can be generated for many chemicals. Assays have been developed to measure the increase of the corresponding CYP mRNAs in primary hepatocytes and some cell lines with a high degree of sensitivity and specificity (allowing the quantitation of closely related CYPs). Although CYP induction is not usually considered as a major drawback in drug development, the aim should be to eliminate or reduce the inducing effects of a new drug to a minimum. Thus, it is essential to increase our understanding of the complex mechanisms that regulate induction and to pay attention to both the dose and the physicochemical and structural properties of CYP inducing agents. 相似文献

Humans and rodents are exposed to many foreign compounds in their diet (e.g., herbal supplements such as St. John's wart), in their environment (e.g., organochlorine pesticides and polychorinated biphenyls), and as clinically prescribed drugs (e.g., rifampin and phenobarbital). In response to these exposures mammals have evolved mechanisms to induce proteins involved in xenobiotic detoxification. Metabolism by Phase I enzymes, particularly the heme containing monooxygenases cytochromes P450 is frequently the first line of defense against such xenobiotics. 相似文献

A variety of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and their dihydrodiol derivatives, arylamines, heterocyclic amines, and nitroarenes, were incubated with cDNA-based recombinant (Escherichia coli or Trichoplusia ni) systems expressing different forms of human cytochrome P450 (P450 or CYP) and NADPH-P450 reductase using Salmonella typhimurium tester strain NM2009, and the resultant DNA damage caused by the reactive metabolites was detected by measuring expression of umu gene in the cells. Recombinant (bacterial) CYP1A1 was slightly more active than any of four CYP1B1 allelic variants, CYP1B1*1, CYP1B1*2, CYP1B1*3, and CYP1B1*6, in catalyzing activation of chrysene-1,2-diol, benz[a]anthracene-trans-1,2-, 3,4-, 5,6-, and 8,9-diol, fluoranthene-2,3-diol, dibenzo[a,l]pyrene, benzo[c]phenanthrene, and dibenz[a,h]anthracene and several arylamines and heterocyclic amines, whereas CYP1A1 and CYP1B1 enzymes had essentially similar catalytic specificities toward other procarcinogens, such as (+)-, (-)-, and (+/-)-benzo[a]pyrene-7,8-diol, 5-methylchrysene-1,2-diol, 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene-3,4-diol, dibenzo[a,l]pyrene-11,12-diol, benzo[b]fluoranthene-9,10-diol, benzo[c]chrysene, 5,6-dimethylchrysene-1,2-diol, benzo[c]phenanthrene-3,4-diol, 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene, benzo[a]pyrene, 5-methylchrysene, and benz[a]anthracene. We also determined activation of these procarcinogens by recombinant (T. ni) human P450 enzymes in S. typhimurium NM2009. There were good correlations between activities of procarcinogen activation by CYP1A1 preparations expressed in E. coli and T. ni cells, although basal activities with three lots of CYP1B1 in T. ni cells were very high without substrates and NADPH in our assay system. Using 14 forms of human P450s (but not CYP1B1) (in T. ni cells), we found that CYP1A2, 2C9, 3A4, and 2C19 catalyzed activation of several of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons at much slower rates than those catalyzed by CYP1A1 and that other enzymes, including CYP2A6, 2B6, 2C8, 2C18, 2D6, 2E1, 3A5, 3A7, and 4A11, were almost inactive in the activation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons examined here. 相似文献

Two oligodeoxyribonucleotides were synthesized that were specific for the messenger RNAs for the polycyclic hydrocarbon-inducible cytochromes P450IA1 and P450IA2. The solution hybridization technique was modified for the use of these oligodeoxyribonucleotide probes so as to increase the sensitivity and specificity of this method. Using this technique, the steady-state levels of the mRNAs for cytochromes P450IA1 and P450IA2 in control rat liver were determined to be less than 3 and 6 molecules/cell, and 1.8 and 4.0 attomol/micrograms poly (A)+ RNA, respectively. At 15 hr after induction with 3-methylcholanthrene, the steady-state levels of the mRNAs for P450IA1 and P450IA2 were 68 and 200 molecules/cell, and 41.6 and 123 attomol/micrograms poly (A)+ RNA. 相似文献

Antibodies to mouse liver cytochrome P3-450 (anti-P3-450) and antibodies to rat liver cytochrome P-450d (anti-P-450d-c) both inhibit the O-deethylation of 7-ethoxyresorufin (ER) in liver microsomes of benzo(a)pyrene-induced (BP) mice but do not inhibit the O-deethylase activity in liver microsomes of BP-induced rats.2. Anti-P3-450 and anti-P-450d-c inhibit BP hydroxylation in BP-induced mouse liver microsomes by 20%, but they do not inhibit this reaction at all in BP-induced rat liver microsomes.3. Isolated cytochrome P3-450 in a reconstituted monooxygenase system metabolized 7-ER and BP. In contrast, its homologue, cytochrome P-450d, does not metabolize these substrates. The fraction containing cytochrome P1-450 metabolized 7-ER at a low rate and BP at a rate of 3.6 nmol product/min per nmol cytochrome.4. Western blot analysis with anti-P-450c + d revealed two bands in SDS-PAGE gels containing BP-induced mouse liver microsomes corresponding to cytochrome P1-450, 55.0 kDa, and cytochrome P3-450, 54.5 kDa. There appeared a single band (cytochrome P3-450) in interaction of mouse liver BP-microsomes with anti-P3-450 and anti-P-450d-c. 相似文献

Comparative modelling of cytochromes P450 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The superfamily of enzymes known as the cytochromes P450 (P450s) comprises a wide-ranging class of proteins with diverse functions. They are known, amongst other things, to be involved in the hormonal regulation of metabolism and reproduction, as well as having a major clinical significance through their association with diseases such as cancer, diabetes and hepatitis. Knowledge of the three-dimensional (3D) structure of a protein gives insight into its function. The 3D structures of P450s are therefore of considerable scientific interest. A number of high-resolution structures of P450s have been determined by X-ray crystallography and studies of these structures have provided valuable insights into the mechanism of these enzymes. Only one of these structures is mammalian and as yet there is no structural information on human P450s in the public domain. Until such a structure is solved it is necessary to employ alternative methods to gain structural insight into how human P450s perform their biological function. Here we report on the use of comparative modelling to predict the structure of human P450s based on knowledge of their amino acid sequences plus the 3D structures of other (not human) P450s. As an illustrative example of these techniques we have modelled the structure of P450 2C5 using five bacterial P450 structures as templates. We examine the importance of selecting suitable templates, obtaining a good amino acid sequence alignment, and evaluating the models generated. To improve the quality of the models an iterative cycle of sequence alignment, model building, and model evaluation is employed. The result is a model with excellent stereochemistry, good amino acid side chain environment properties, and a Calpha trace similar to the crystal structure. 相似文献

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. 相似文献

Pharmacophore modeling of cytochromes P450 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Understanding the binding of ligands in the active site of a membrane-bound protein is difficult in the absence of a crystal structure. When these proteins are the enzymes involved in drug metabolism, it leaves little option but to use site-directed mutagenesis and in vitro studies to provide critical information relating to determinants of binding affinity. Pharmacophore models and three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationships have been used either alone or in combination with protein homology models to provide this information for cytochrome P450s. At present, their application has been directed to the major enzymes but this may escalate in future as more in vitro data are generated for other P450s. The following review outlines the methodologies and models as well as future prospects for applying these technologies to P450s in the hope that future drugs will be selected with increased metabolic stability and fewer incidences of undesirable drug-drug interactions. 相似文献

Pharmacogenetics of the cytochromes P450 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Daly AK 《Current topics in medicinal chemistry》2004,4(16):1733-1744
The cytochromes P450 are a family of heme-containing proteins with a major role in the oxidation of both xenobiotics (including prescribed drugs) and endogenous compounds. There are at least 57 human P450s (termed isoforms) which are all encoded by separate genes but only 10 of these contribute to drug metabolism, with the major contribution coming from only 3 isoforms, CYP3A4, CYP2D6 and CYP2C9. It is now well recognised that most cytochrome P450 genes are subject to genetic polymorphism and that therefore some individuals have sequence changes present that result in the production of an enzyme with altered catalytic activity or give rise to abnormal gene expression. This article describes the range of genetic polymorphisms now known to occur in the drug metabolizing cytochromes P450 with particular reference to their functional effects and the influence of ethnic origin on the frequency of variant alleles. The relevance of the various polymorphisms to drug response and toxicity is considered as well as the possibility that genotype for these polymorphisms may be a determinant for "personalized prescribing" in the future. 相似文献

Induction of cytochromes P450IIE1 and P450IIB1 by secondary ketones and the role of P450IIE1 in chloroform metabolism 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

It has been shown previously that the potentiation of chloroform-induced hepatotoxicity by linear secondary ketones increases with the carbon-chain length. The present work examines the possibility that this potentiation is due to the induction of P450IIE1. The metabolism of chloroform, as measured using headspace gas chromatography, in the presence of microsomes from acetone-treated rats was elevated threefold compared to controls. Inclusion of monoclonal antibody against P450IIE1 inhibited the metabolism by 81%. Alternate substrates of P450IIE1 were also inhibitory. Chloroform metabolism was observed using purified, reconstituted P450IIE1 plus cytochrome b5, but was not detected using P450IIB1. The inductive effect of 18-hr oral pretreatment (15 mmol/kg body wt) with each of three secondary ketones on two isozymes of rat liver microsomal cytochrome P450, P450IIE1, and P450IIB1 was studied. The content of total microsomal P450 and NADPH-dependent cytochrome c reductase, the rates of oxidation of N-nitrosodimethylamine, benzphetamine, and pentoxyresorufin, as well as levels of immunoreactive protein for both of the isozymes were elevated by the pretreatments in the rank order of acetone less than or equal to 2-butanone less than 2-hexanone, in agreement with other trends noted by previous investigators. The results provide further evidence for the role of P450IIE1 induction in the potentiation phenomenon. 相似文献

Human cytochromes P450: problems and prospects. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
F J Gonzalez 《Trends in pharmacological sciences》1992,13(9):346-352
Cytochromes P450 are a superfamily of haem-containing monooxygenases. In mammals, two general classes of P450s exist: six families involved in steroid and bile acid biosynthetic pathways of metabolism; four families containing numerous individual P450s, mainly responsible for metabolism of foreign compounds. Many of the latter P450s, particularly those in the CYP2 family, exhibit a large degree of inter- and intra-species variability in regulation and catalytic activities. From a practical standpoint, these variabilities suggest the need for careful characterization of P450 catalytic activities and determination of P450 expression levels in humans. Human P450-based in vitro systems are being developed to evaluate drug and carcinogen metabolism. 相似文献

Drug response is affected by genetic and non-genetic factors, such as dietary compounds, sex, disease status and multiple drug therapy. Inherited determinants of drug disposition remain, however, the major cause of inter-individual differences due to pharmacogenetic polymorphism in drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters, or drug targets. Differences on ethnicity may have a profound impact on drug clearance, affecting the safety, efficacy and dosing regimen. In the context of tropical regions, the situation may be even more serious due to endemic infectious diseases and multiple drug therapy, which may affect drug clearance. In this review, we focus on the pharmacogenetics of the Cytochrome P450 superfamily, responsible for the highest contribution for variability among drug metabolizing enzymes, among ethnic groups from tropical settings. 相似文献
