中国人肝微粒体中细胞色素P450酶含量和活性的个体间差异(英文)

目的:比较不同中国人肝微粒体中几种重要细胞色素P450(CYP)的酶含量和活性。方法:运用West-ern斑点分析和光密度扫描,对17个汉族、17个壮族和8个苗族受试者肝微粒体中的细胞色素P4501A2(CYP1A2)、2C9及3A4进行定量;非那西丁、甲磺丁脲、异喹胍和奥美拉唑分别用于体外测量CYP1A2、2C9、2D6及3A4的活性。结果:CYP1A2、2C9及3A4的含量和活性具有很大的个体间变异,另外CYP2D6的活性在各样本间也有很大差异;CYP3A4(32％)是中国人肝微粒体中含量最丰富的CYP,CYP2C9(19％)和CYP1A2(16％)的含量也很可观;除了CYP1A2的含量和活性具有一定的种族和性别差异外,未发现其它CYP具有种族和性别差异;CYP1A2、2C9和3A4的酶蛋白含量分别和它们的活性具有很好的相关性。结论:我们的结果为在中国人中进行药物代谢研究提供了非常有价值的信息。

Interindividual variations in Ievels and activities of cytochrome P-450 in liver microsomes of Chinese subjects

AIM: To compare the level and/or activity of several important cytochrome P-450 (CYP) enzymes in liver rnicro-somes prepared from different Chinese subjects. METHODS: Individual CYP contents, including CYP1A2, CYP2C9, and CYP3A4, in liver microsomes of 17 Han, 17 Zhuang, and 8 Mao subjects were determined by using Western blot analysis and densitometric scanning. The substrates for measuring the activity of individual CYP in vitro included phenacetin, tolbutamide, debrisoquine, and omeprazole. RESULTS: There was a large interindivid-ual variability in the content and activity of CYPl A2, 2C9 and 3A4. And the activity of CYP2D6 also varied greatly between individual samples, CYP3A4 (32%) is the most abundant CYP in Chinese liver microsomes, and the levels of CYP2C9 (19 %) and CYP1A2 (16%) were also considerable. No clear ethnic, sex- and age-related differences in individual CYP content and catalytic activity were detected in 42 Chinese liver samples, except that there were somewhat ethnic and sex-related differences in the content and activity of CYP1A2. Good correlation between enzyme protein content and activity was found for CYP1A2, 2C9 and 3A4. CONCLUSION: Our results may provide useful information for the study of drug metabolism by liver microsomes in Chinese.
