Induction of Cytochrome P450 2A6 by Bilirubin in Human Hepatocytes
نویسندگان
چکیده
The influence of bilirubin on mRNA expression of cytochrome P450 (CYP), UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) and nuclear receptors in human hepatocytes was investigated. The treatment of the hepatocytes with 40 μg/mL bilirubin, which corresponds to hyperbilirubinemia, resulted in 1.7-fold increase of CYP2A6 mRNA compared to the vehicle control while CYP2A6 mRNA did not change after treatment with 1 μg/mL bilirubin, corresponding to physiologically normal level. No significant change of mRNA expression by 40 μg/mL bilirubin treatment was observed for CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP3A4 and CYP3A5, UGT1A1, UGT1A3, UGT1A6, UGT2B4, UGT2B7, UGT2B10 and UGT2B15, constitutive androstane receptor (CAR), pregnane X receptor (PXR), retinoid X receptor α (RXRα) and hepatocyte nuclear factor-4α (HNF-4α). The induction profile of bilirubin was different from that of rifampicin, a typical PXR activator. This study demonstrated that CYP2A6 can be induced by bilirubin in a concentration dependent manner.

BACKGROUND After living donor liver transplantation (LDLT), rising serum bilirubin levels commonly indicate insufficient numbers of hepatocytes are available to metabolize bilirubin into biliverdin. Recovery of bilirubin levels is an important marker of hepatocyte repopulation after LDLT. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2A6 in humans (or cyp2a4 in rodents) can function as "bilirubin oxidase." Functional ...

The study addressed the effect of colchicine and its derivatives on the protein levels of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A2, 2A6, 3A4, 2C9/19, and 2E1 isoforms. Primary human hepatocyte culture was the model of choice. Levels of individual CYP isoforms were detected using immunoblotting. Colchicine caused an increase of CYP2E1 protein content, colchiceine and N-deacetylcolchiceine induced isoforms CYP2...

Human cytochrome P450 (CYP)2A6 is responsible for the metabolic activation of tobacco-related nitrosamines, as well as the metabolism of nicotine and some pharmaceutical drugs. There are large interindividual differences in CYP2A6 activity and expression, largely attributed to genetic polymorphisms. However, the variability was observed within homozygotes of the wild-type CYP2A6 gene. In this s...

The endogenous reactive oxygen species ("ROS") formation is associated with many pathologic states such as inflammatory diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, brain and heart ischemic injuries, cancer, and aging. The purpose of this study was to investigate the endogenous sources for "ROS" formation in intact isolated rat hepatocytes, in particular, peroxisomal oxidases, monoamine oxidase, xanth...
