Sulfation of resveratrol in human liver: Evidence of a major role for the sulfotransferases SULT1A1 and SULT1E1

Sulfation of resveratrol, a polyphenolic compound present in grapes and wine with anticancer and cardioprotective activities, was studied in human liver cytosol. In the presence of 3′-phosphoadenosine-5′-phosphosulfate, three metabolites (M1–3) whose structures were identified by mass spectrometry and NMR as trans-resveratrol-3-O-sulfate, trans-resveratrol-4′-O-sulfate, and trans-resveratrol-3-O-4′-O-disulfate, respectively. The kinetics of M1 formation in human liver cytosol exhibited an pattern of substrate inhibition with a K_i of 21.3?±?8.73?µM and a V_max/K_m of 1.63?±?0.41?µL?min^?1mg^?1 protein. Formation of M2 and M3 showed sigmoidal kinetics with about 56-fold higher V_max/K_m values for M3 than for M2 (2.23?±?0.14 and 0.04?±?0.01?µL?min^?1?mg^?1). Incubation in the presence of human recombinant sulfotransferases (SULTs) demonstrated that M1 is almost exclusively catalysed by SULT1A1 and only to a minor extent by SULT 1A2, 1A3 and 1E1, whereas M2 is selectively formed by SULT1A2. M3 is mainly catalysed by SULT1A2 and 1A3. In conclusion, the results elucidate the enzymatic pathways of resveratrol in human liver, which must be considered in humans following oral uptake of dietary resveratrol.     

Induction of CYP1A1 and CYP2E1 in rat liver by histamine: binding and kinetic studies

Histamine (HA) may bind to cytochrome P450 (CYP450) in rat liver microsomes. The CYP450-HA complex seems to regulate some cellular processes such as proliferation. In the present work, it is shown that HA increases the activity and protein level of CYP1A1 and CYP2E1, in vivo. CYP1A1 is associated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-mediated carcinogenesis and CYP2E1 with liver damage by oxidative stress. Studies of enzyme kinetics and binding with rat liver microsomes and supersomes were carried out to determine whether HA is a substrate of CYP1A1 and/or CYP2E1. The lack of NADPH oxidation in the presence of HA showed that it is not a substrate for CYP1A1. Activity measurements using the O-dealkylation of ethoxyresorufin indicated that HA is a mixed-type inhibitor of CYP1A1 in both microsomes and supersomes. On the other hand, HA induced a significant NADPH oxidation catalyzed by CYP2E1 supersomes, strongly suggesting that HA is a substrate for this isoform. Furthermore, HA is consumed in the presence of CYP2E1-induced microsomes and supersomes, as determined by o-phtalaldehyde complexes with HA by HPLC. The present findings may contribute to understand better the physiological function of CYP450 in relation with inflammation and other physiological processes in which HA may have a relevant role.     

Potent inhibition of human cytochrome P450 1B1 by tetramethoxystilbene

Human cytochrome P450 1B1 (CYP1B1) is found mainly in extrahepatic tissues and is overexpressed in a variety of human tumors. Metabolic activation of 17β-estradiol (E2) to 4-hydroxy E2 by CYP1B1 has been postulated to be an important factor in mammary carcinogenesis. The inhibition of recombinant human CYP1B1 by 2,2′,4,6′-tetramethoxystilbene (TMS) was investigated using either the Escherichia coli membranes of recombinant human CYP1B1 coexpressed with human NADPH-P450 reductase or using purified enzyme. 2,2′,4,6′-TMS showed potent and selective inhibition of ethoxyresorufin O-deethylation (EROD) activity of CYP1B1 with IC₅₀ values of 2 nM. 2,2′,4,6′-TMS exhibited 175-fold selectivity for CYP1B1 over CYP1A1 (IC₅₀, 350 nM) and 85-fold selectivity for CYP1B1 over CYP1A2 (IC₅₀, 170 nM). However, inhibition of human NADPH-P450 reductase activity by 2,2′,4,6′-TMS was negligible. The modes of inhibition by 2,2′,4,6′-TMS were noncompetitive for CYP1A1 and CYP1B1. Moreover, 2,2′,4,6′-TMS significantly suppressed EROD activity and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD)-induced CYP1A1 or CYP1B1 gene expression in human tumor cells such as HepG2 and MCF-10A. Taken together, our results indicate that 2,2′,4,6′-TMS is a potently selective inhibitor of human CYP1B1 as well as a suppressor of CYP1B1 expression and may be a valuable tool for determining enzyme properties of human CYP1B1.     

Effect of TCDD exposure on CYP1A1 and CYP1B1 expression in explant cultures of human endometrium.

Endometriosis is a debilitating disease estimated to affect 10% of reproductive-age women and characterized by the growth of endometrial tissue outside of the uterus. The present study characterizes a human endometrial explant culture model for studying the direct effects of TCDD exposure by assessing the expression of CYP1A1 and CYP1B1 mRNA (Northern blotting), protein (Western blotting), and activity (7-ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase; EROD) in explants cultured with and without TCDD. Explants were obtained at laparoscopy or laparotomy from women undergoing surgery for tubal ligation, endometriosis, or pelvic pain unrelated to endometriosis. The explants were cultured with 10 nM estradiol (E(2)) or 1 nM E(2) plus 500 nM progesterone (P(4)) with or without TCDD (first 24 h). The expression of CYP1A1 and CYP1B1 mRNA was greatest with 10 nM TCDD and increased up to 72 h after initial exposure. EROD activity increased up to 120 h. Explants from a secretory phase biopsy became reorganized in culture and formed a new epithelial membrane, while maintaining basic endometrial morphology and viability for up to 120 h. At 24 h, TCDD significantly increased CYP1A1 and CYP1B1 mRNA, and at 72 h, TCDD significantly increased EROD activity and CYP1B1 protein compared to explants cultured without TCDD for similar times. CYP1B1 protein also exhibited substantial constitutive expression that was similar in uncultured biopsies, where CYP1B1 protein was immunolocalized in the cytoplasm of epithelial glands, with only occasional patches of protein in the surface epithelial membrane. In explants cultured with and without TCDD exposure, CYP1B1 protein was localized in the cytoplasm of the new surface epithelial membrane and glands closest to the surface. CYP1A1 protein was not detected in uncultured biopsies or explants. Both younger age (age 30 and under) and proliferative phase were associated with higher TCDD-induced EROD activity in specimens treated with E(2):P(4). No significant endometriosis-related differences were observed for any of the biomarkers, but the detection of disease-specific change was limited by small sample size and variability in tissue-cycle phase. The human endometrial explant culture model will be useful for future studies of the effects of dioxin-like compounds on human endometrium in relationship to cycle phase and hormonal exposure.

Oxidation of pyrene, 1-hydroxypyrene, 1-nitropyrene and 1-acetylpyrene by human cytochrome P450 2A13

Abstract

1.?The polycyclic hydrocarbons (PAHs), pyrene, 1-hydroxypyrene, 1-nitropyrene and 1-acetylpyrene, were found to induce Type I binding spectra with human cytochrome P450 (P450) 2A13 and were converted to various mono- and di-oxygenated products by this enzyme.

2.?Pyrene was first oxidized by P450 2A13 to 1-hydroxypyrene which was further oxidized to di-oxygenated products, i.e. 1,8- and 1,6-dihydroxypyrene. Of five other human P450s examined, P450 1B1 catalyzed pyrene oxidation to 1-hydroxypyrene at a similar rate to P450 2A13 but was less efficient in forming dihydroxypyrenes. P450 2A6, a related human P450 enzyme, which did not show any spectral changes with these four PAHs, showed lower activities in oxidation of these compounds than P450 2A13.

3.?1-Nitropyrene and 1-acetylpyrene were also found to be efficiently oxidized by P450 2A13 to several oxygenated products, based on mass spectrometry analysis.

4.?Molecular docking analysis supported preferred orientations of pyrene and its derivatives in the active site of P450 2A13, with lower interaction energies (U values) than observed for P450 2A6 and that several amino acid residues (including Ala-301, Asn-297 and Ala-117) play important roles in directing the orientation of these PAHs in the P450 2A13 active site. In addition, Phe-231 and Gly-329 were found to interact with pyrene to orient this compound in the active site of P450 1B1.

5.?These results suggest that P450 2A13 is one of the important enzymes that oxidizes these PAH compounds and may determine how these chemicals are detoxicated and bioactivated in humans.     

The cytoskeleton plays a modulatory role in the association between STIM1 and the Ca channel subunits Orai1 and TRPC1

Store-operated Ca²⁺ entry (SOCE) is a major pathway for Ca²⁺ influx in non-excitable cells. Recent studies favour a conformational coupling mechanism between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca²⁺ sensor STIM1 and Ca²⁺ permeable channels in the plasma membrane to explain SOCE. Previous studies have reported a role for the cytoskeleton modulating the activation of SOCE; therefore, here we have investigated whether the interaction between STIM1 and the Ca²⁺ permeable channels is modulated by the actin or microtubular network. In HEK-293 cells, treatment with the microtubular disrupter colchicine enhanced both the activation of SOCE and the association between STIM1 and Orai1 or TRPC1 induced by thapsigargin (TG). Conversely, stabilization of the microtubules by paclitaxel attenuated TG-evoked activation of SOCE and the interaction between STIM1 and the Ca²⁺ channels Orai1 and TRPC1, altogether suggesting that the microtubules act as a negative regulator of SOCE. Stabilization of the cortical actin filament layer results in inhibition of TG-evoked both association between STIM1, Orai1 and TRPC1 and SOCE. Interestingly, disruption of the actin filament network by cytochalasin D did not significantly modify TG-evoked association between STIM1 and Orai1 or TRPC1 but enhanced TG-stimulated SOCE. Finally, inhibition of calmodulin by calmidazolium enhances TG-evoked SOCE and disruption of the actin cytoskeleton results in inhibition of TG-evoked association of calmodulin with Orai1 and TRPC1. Thus, we demonstrate that the cytoskeleton plays an essential role in the regulation of SOCE through the modulation of the interaction between their main molecular components.     

Identification of drugs and drug metabolites as substrates of multidrug resistance protein 2 (MRP2) using triple-transfected MDCK-OATP1B1-UGT1A1-MRP2 cells

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE

The coordinate activity of hepatic uptake transporters [e.g. organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B1 (OATP1B1)], drug-metabolizing enzymes [e.g. UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1)] and efflux pumps (e.g. MRP2) is a crucial determinant of drug disposition. However, limited data are available on transport of drugs (e.g. ezetimibe, etoposide) and their glucuronidated metabolites by human MRP2 in intact cell systems.

EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH

Using monolayers of newly established triple-transfected MDCK-OATP1B1-UGT1A1-MRP2 cells as well as MDCK control cells, single- (OATP1B1) and double-transfected (OATP1B1-UGT1A1, OATP1B1-MRP2) MDCK cells, we therefore studied intracellular concentrations and transcellular transport after administration of ezetimibe or etoposide to the basal compartment.

KEY RESULTS

Intracellular accumulation of ezetimibe was significantly lower in MDCK-OATP1B1-UGT1A1-MRP2 triple-transfected cells compared with all other cell lines. Considerably higher amounts of ezetimibe glucuronide were found in the apical compartment of MDCK-OATP1B1-UGT1A1-MRP2 monolayers compared with all other cell lines. Using HEK cells, etoposide was identified as a substrate of OATP1B1. Intracellular concentrations of etoposide equivalents (i.e. parent compound plus metabolites) were affected only to a minor extent by the absence or presence of OATP1B1/UGT1A1/MRP2. In contrast, apical accumulation of etoposide equivalents was significantly higher in monolayers of both cell lines expressing MRP2 (MDCK-OATP1B1-MRP2, MDCK-OATP1B1-UGT1A1-MRP2) compared with the single-transfected (OATP1B1) and the control cell line.

CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS

Ezetimibe glucuronide is a substrate of human MRP2. Moreover, etoposide and possibly also its glucuronide are substrates of MRP2. These data demonstrate the functional interplay between transporter-mediated uptake, phase II metabolism and export by hepatic proteins involved in drug disposition.

Pharmacological characterization of A-131701, a novel α1-adrenoceptor antagonist selective for α1A- and α1D-compared to α1B-adrenoceptors

New compounds selective for α_1A-adrenoceptors in the prostate may offer enhanced efficacy for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), with fewer side effects than current treatment. A-131701 (3-[2-((3aR,9bR)-cis-6-methoxy-2,3,3a,4,5,9b,hexahydro-[1H]-benz[e]isoindol-2-yl)ethyl]pyrido[3′,4′:4,5]thieno [3,2-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione), from a novel class of benz[e]isolindole pyridothienopyrimidines and pyridothienopyrazines, is selective for α_1a- and α_1d-adrenoceptors in radioligand binding studies (0.22 nM at α_1a-, 0.97 nM at α_1d-) compared to α_1b-sites (2.5 nM) and in isolated tissue bioassays (pA₂ values of 8.9–9.0 for α_1A-receptors in rat vas deferens or canine prostate strips, 9.1 at α_1D-sites (rat aorta)), compared to 7.9 at α_1B-sites (rat spleen). A-131701 also potently blocked radioligand binding to α₁-adrenoceptors in canine and human prostatic membranes, but was considerably weaker at α₂-adrenoceptors. In isoflurane-anesthetized dogs, A-131701 antagonized epinephrine-induced increases in intraurethral pressure (IUP) with a pseudo-pA₂ value of 8.17. In spontaneously hypertensive rats, A-131701 caused transient decreases in mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) and transient tachycardia. The area under the curve (AUC₀→₆₀ min) for the hypotensive response was dose-related, with a log index value for A-131701 of 5.33, suggesting a selectivity of >600-fold comparing IUP to MABP effects. In pentobarbital-anesthetized dogs, A-131701 was more potent in blocking phenylephrine (PHE)-induced increases in IUP (pseudo-pA₂ = 8.0) compared to concurrently measured MABP (pseudo-pA₂ = 7.2), or sixfold selective. Doses greater than 1,000 nmol/kg i.v. of A-131701 were required to lower blood pressure by 10 mm Hg in these dogs (pED₁₀ =. 5.57), indicating a uroselectivity ratio of >250, superior to doxazosin, terazosin, or tamsulosin. Thus, A-131701 is selective for α_1A- and α_1D- vs. α_1B-adrenoceptors in vitro, and prostatic function vs. blood pressure effects in vivo, which may provide therapeutic advantages in the treatment of BPH.
