    1 1 Detailed Review Paper on Retinoid Pathway Signalling 2 December 2020 3 2 4 Foreword 5 1. Project 4.97 to develop a Detailed Review Paper (DRP) on the Retinoid System 6 was added to the Test Guidelines Programme work plan in 2015. The project was 7 originally proposed by Sweden and the European Commission later joined the project as 8 a co-lead. In 2019, the OECD Secretariat was added to coordinate input from expert 9 consultants. The initial objectives of the project were to: 10 draft a review of the biology of retinoid signalling pathway, 11 describe retinoid-mediated effects on various organ systems, 12 identify relevant retinoid in vitro and ex vivo assays that measure mechanistic 13 effects of chemicals for development, and 14 Identify in vivo endpoints that could be added to existing test guidelines to 15 identify chemical effects on retinoid pathway signalling. 16 2. This DRP is intended to expand the recommendations for the retinoid pathway 17 included in the OECD Detailed Review Paper on the State of the Science on Novel In 18 vitro and In vivo Screening and Testing Methods and Endpoints for Evaluating 19 Endocrine Disruptors (DRP No 178). The retinoid signalling pathway was one of seven 20 endocrine pathways considered to be susceptible to environmental endocrine disruption 21 and for which relevant endpoints could be measured in new or existing OECD Test 22 Guidelines for evaluating endocrine disruption. Due to the complexity of retinoid 23 signalling across multiple organ systems, this effort was foreseen as a multi-step process.

The cytochrome P450 26 (CYP26) enzymes are responsible for atRA clearance and are potential drug targets to increase concentrations of endogenous atRA in a tissue-specific manner. The first project of this thesis aimed to establish the relationship between CYP26 inhibition, by the potent CYP26A1 and B1 inhibitor talarozole, and altered atRA concentrations in tissues, and to quantify the increase in endogenous atRA concentrations necessary to alter atRA signaling in target organs. The second part of this thesis focused on evaluating exogenous atRA and retinoid dosing on gene regulation. Several in vitro and preclinical studies have suggested that atRA down-regulates CYP2D6 expression and activity. Both atRA and its stereoisomer 13-cis retinoic acid (13cisRA) are used clinically, and steady state exposures of atRA are similar after dosing with atRA or 13cisRA. The second aim of this thesis was to determine whether 13-cis retinoic acid (13cisRA) or its active metabolites, atRA and 4-oxo-13cisRA, cause a drug-drug interaction (DDI) with CYP2D6, decreasing the clearance of the CYP2D6 probe dextromethorphan.

Storage: 2 years -80°C in solvent; 3 years -20°C powder; DMSO 51 mg/mL (135.10 mM) Solubility ( < 1 mg/ml refers to the product slightly soluble or insoluble ) Receptor (IC50) Others In vitro Activity Talarozole R enantiomer treatment increased the mRNA expression of CRABP2, KRT4, CYP26A1, and CYP26B1 dose- dependently, and decreased the expression of KRT2 and IL-1alpha compared with vehicle-treated skin. No mRNA change in retinol-metabolizing enzymes was obtained. There was no induction of epidermal thickness or overt skin inflammation in talarozole-treated skin. Immunofluorescence analysis confirmed the upregulation of KRT4 protein, but no upregulation of CYP26A1 and CYP26B1 expression was detected [1] [2]. In vivo Activity Talarozole R enantiomer slightly diffused into the skin only when dissolved in propylene glycol, isopropyl myristate, or ethanol. Although only 0.1% of the dose applied was found in the skin itself after 12-24 h, this was sufficient to achieve local concentrations well above the half-maximal inhibitory concentration value for talarozole. The distribution of talarozole within the skin was investigated: 80% was located in the epidermis, while the remaining 20% was found in the dermis [3]. Reference 1.

  • Cytochrome P450 Cyps
    Cytochrome P450 CYPs Cytochrome p450 comprises a superfamily of heme-thiolate proteins named for the spectral absorbance peak of their carbon-monoxide-bound species at 450 nm. Having been found in every class of organism, including Archaea, the p450 superfamily is believed to have originated from an ancestral gene that existed over 3 billion years ago. Repeated gene duplications have subsequently given rise to one of the largest of multigene families. These enzymes are notable both for the diversity of reactions that they catalyze and the range of chemically dissimilar substrates upon which they act. Cytochrome p450s support the oxidative, peroxidative and reductive metabolism of such endogenous and xenobiotic substrates as environmental pollutants, agrochemicals, plant allelochemicals, steroids, prostaglandins and fatty acids. In humans, Cytochrome p450s are best known for their central role in phase I drug metabolism where they are of critical importance to two of the most significant problems in clinical pharmacology: drug interactions and interindividual variability in drug metabolism. www.MedChemExpress.com 1 Cytochrome P450 Inhibitors, Activators & Modulators (+)-Ketoconazole (3S,5S)-Atorvastatin ((+)-Ketoconazol; (+)-R 41400) Cat.

  • Alterations in Endogenous Retinoids with Acute UVB Exposure and in the Progression of Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma
    Alterations in Endogenous Retinoids with Acute UVB Exposure and in the Progression of Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Katherine Gressel Graduate Program in Human Nutrition The Ohio State University 2015 Master's Examination Committee: Dr. Helen Everts, Advisor Dr. Earl Harrison Dr. Tatiana Oberyszyn Copyrighted by Katherine Gressel 2015 Abstract Exposure to UVB light is the largest risk factor for the development of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC), one of the most common cancers in the United States. UVB exposure causes many changes to occur in the skin such as epidermal thickening, hyperproliferation, and alterations to epidermal differentiation. Retinoids regulate the differentiation and proliferation of the epidermis. The purpose of this study is to examine how the expression of retinoid metabolism proteins in the epidermis is altered with acute UVB exposure and in the progression of cSCC. There is limited knowledge of how UVB exposure may affect this pathway; our results will allow us to gain a more complete understanding of changes in the entire retinoid metabolism pathway. We examined the expression of key retinoic acid metabolism proteins in the epidermis and hair follicle remnants 48 hours after UVB exposure in SKH-1 mice using immunohistochemistry. UVB exposure increased the expression of retinoid synthesis, degradation, and binding proteins. These changes in expression suggest that acute UVB exposure increases the synthesis of retinoic acid in the epidermis. Many of these proteins changed their localization in the epidermis, concentrating in the more differentiated cells of the stratum granulosum and stratum corneum.

McPhee Received: 17 February 2016 ; Accepted: 9 March 2016 ; Published: 15 March 2016 Abstract: A new CYP26A1 homology model was built based on the crystal structure of cyanobacterial CYP120A1. The model quality was examined for stereochemical accuracy, folding reliability, and absolute quality using a variety of different bioinformatics tools. Furthermore, the docking capabilities of the model were assessed by docking of the natural substrate all-trans-retinoic acid (atRA), and a group of known azole- and tetralone-based CYP26A1 inhibitors. The preferred binding pose of atRA suggests the (4S)-OH-atRA metabolite production, in agreement with recently available experimental data. The distances between the ligands and the heme group iron of the enzyme are in agreement with corresponding distances obtained for substrates and azole inhibitors for other cytochrome systems. The calculated theoretical binding energies agree with recently reported experimental data and show that the model is capable of discriminating between natural substrate, strong inhibitors (R116010 and R115866), and weak inhibitors (liarozole, fluconazole, tetralone derivatives).
