Regulatory polymorphisms in CYP2C19 affecting hepatic expression

Developmental expression of human hepatic CYP2C9 and CYP2C19.

The CYP2C subfamily is responsible for metabolizing many important drugs and accounts for about 20% of the cytochrome p450 in adult liver. To determine developmental expression patterns, liver microsomal CYP2C9 and -2C19 were measured (n = 237; ages, 8 weeks gestation-18 years) by Western blotting and with diclofenac or mephenytoin, respectively, as probe substrates. CYP2C9-specific content and...

JPET #60137 Developmental Expression of Human Hepatic CYP2C9 and CYP2C19

Cyp2c19 Polymorphisms in Drug Metabolism and Response

Individuals vary widely in their response to drug treatment. After receiving doses of a drug that are recommended based on a population average, some patients could have an insufficient response, whereas others may experience adverse effects. Of the many factors causing variability in drug response across individuals, genetic polymorphism of drug-metabolizing enzymes is deemed to be one of the ...

Key Regulatory Gene Expression in Erythroleukemia Differentiation

The characteristics of cellular and molecular mechanisms associated with cell proliferation and differentiation is important to understand malignancy. In this report we characterise a leukemic model, D5A1, to study the action of differentiation agent, cellular events and gene expression of the selected transcription factors. Cells induced with 4 mM hexamethylene bisacetamide (HMBA) caused signs...

Allele Frequency of CYP2C19 Gene Polymorphisms in a Healthy Iranian Population

Cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) plays an important role in the metabolism and elimination of a wide range of medications. The polymorphisms of this enzyme give rise to substantial inter-individual and inter-ethnic variability in drug excretion rates and final serum concentrations. For this reason, therapeutic re-sponses and adverse drug reactions may vary from one person to another. In this stud...
