Better characterization of the different factors influencing drug metabolism can contribute to individualizing and optimizing drug therapy. The overall objective of this thesis was to investigate the suitability of 4ȕ-hydroxycholesterol (4ȕOHC) as biomarker for the variability in the activity of CYP3A-mediated drug metabolism. In a large naturalistic study of psychiatric patients, we reported 120-fold variation of 4ȕOHC levels. Impact of enzyme-inducing drugs was the factor with greatest quantitative effect on 4ȕOHC levels, and the findings support the suitability of 4ȕOHC as a biomarker for hepatic CYP3A induction. 4ȕOHC was also responsive to long-term treatment with moderate CYP3A inhibitors, but its suitability as a biomarker for CYP3A inhibition is yet to be established. Genetic polymorphism is known to be important for CYP3A5 activity, and to contribute to the total CYP3A activity. The contribution of CYP3A5 to in vivo formation of 4ȕOHC was, however, inconclusive in the present studies. Impact of other genetic polymorphisms on 4ȕOHC levels was limited. End-VWDJH UHQDO GLVHDVH LV DVVRFLDWHG ZLWK UHGXFHG ȕ2+& OHYHOV DQG Uecovery of renal function after kidney transplantation was associated with recovery of CYP3A activity. The clinical impact of this is yet to be established, but might indicate higher dose requirements of CYP3A-metabolized drugs after vs. before kidney transplantation. Body weight and body mass index (BMI) impacted CYP3A activity both in kidney transplant and anorexic patients, with increasing level of 4ȕOHC levels with decreasing body weight and BMI. This suggests that clearance of CYP3A substrates increases with decreasing body weight/BMI. The present thesis supports the suitability of 4ȕOHC as a hepatic CYP3A biomarker since the factors which in these studies describe variation in 4ȕOHC levels coincide with previous findings on variation in CYP3A phenotype. Further studies should investigate 4ȕOHC as a potential biomarker for personalized dosing of CYP3A substrates. V VI 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Variability in drug response A major problem during drug therapy is variability in drug response. Standard doses of a given drug can lead to the desired effect in some patients, while others experience subtherapeutic response or side effects. Personalized dosing can therefore improve the outcome of drug treatment by reducing the occurrence of adverse effects and lack of effect. However, personalized dosing is not a straightforward procedure. The effect a drug dose will produce in a given patient is influenced by pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes, which describe the interaction between the body and the drug. Pharmacodynamics is the study of the effects of drugs on the body, and variability can be caused by e.g. genetic differences in target receptors, drug-drug interactions at the target site or disease status. Pharmacokinetic variability is one of the main sources for variation in drug response. Pharmacokinetic variability comprises variation in drug exposure due to differences in e.g. absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of a given drug. These processes influence drug concentration at the target site, and therefore lead to variations in drug response. Several factors are known to impact pharmacokinetic processes, such as age, sex, body weight, disease status, kidney function, genetics and drug-drug interactions.

Eicosanoids and related fatty acid derivatives can be formed from arachidonic acid and other polyenoic fatty acids via the cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways generating a variety of pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators, such as prostaglandins, leukotrienes, lipoxins, resolvins and others. The cytochrome P450 pathway leads to the formation of hydroxy fatty acids, such as 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid, and epoxy eicosanoids. Free radical reactions induced by reactive oxygen and/or nitrogen free radical species lead to oxygenated lipids such as isoprostanes or isolevuglandins which also exhibit pro-inflammatory activities. Eicosanoids and their metabolites play fundamental endocrine, autocrine and paracrine roles in both physiological and pathological signaling in various diseases. These molecules induce various unsaturated fatty acid dependent signaling pathways that influence crosstalk, alter cell–cell interactions, and result in a wide spectrum of cellular dysfunctions including those of the tissue microenvironment.

Cytochrome P450 Enzymes in Oxygenation of Prostaglandin Endoperoxides and Arachidonic Acid: Cloning, Expression and Catalytic Properties of CYP4F8 and CYP4F21. Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from Faculty of Pharmacy 231 50 pp. Uppsala. ISBN 91-554-4784-8. Cytochrome P450 (P450 or CYP) is an enzyme system involved in the oxygenation of a wide range of endogenous compounds as well as foreign chemicals and drugs. This thesis describes investigations of P450-catalyzed oxygenation of prostaglandins, linoleic and arachidonic acids. The formation of bisallylic hydroxy metabolites of linoleic and arachidonic acids was studied with human recombinant P450s and with human liver microsomes. Several P450 enzymes catalyzed the formation of bisallylic hydroxy metabolites. Inhibition studies and stereochemical analysis of metabolites suggest that the enzyme CYP1A2 may contribute to the biosynthesis of bisallylic hydroxy fatty acid metabolites in adult human liver microsomes. 19R-Hydroxy-PGE and 20-hydroxy-PGE are major components of human and ovine semen, respectively. They are formed in the seminal vesicles, but the mechanism of their biosynthesis is unknown. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction using degenerate primers for mammalian CYP4 family genes, revealed expression of two novel P450 genes in human and ovine seminal vesicles.

Psychiatric disorders represent one of the most difficult diagnostic challenges, given their frequent mixed nature and intrinsic variability, as in bipolar disorders and depression. Patients misdiagnosed as depressed are often initially prescribed serotonergic antidepressants, a treatment that can exacerbate a previously unrecognized bipolar condition. Thanks to the use of the patient’s genomic profile, it is possible to recognize such risk and at the same time characterize specific genetic assets specifically associated with bipolar spectrum disorder, as well as with the individual response to the various therapeutic options. This provides the basis for molecular diagnosis and the definition of pharmacogenomic profiles, thus guiding therapeutic choices and allowing a safer and more effective use of psychotropic drugs. Here, we report the pharmacogenomics state of the art in bipolar disorders and suggest an algorithm for therapeutic regimen choice.

The human CYP3A subfamily, CYP3A4, CYP3A5, CYP3A7, and CYP3A43, is one of the most versatile of the biotransformation systems that facilitate the elimination of drugs (37% of the 200 most frequently prescribed drugs in the US [1]). Together, CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 account for ~30% of hepatic cytochrome P450, and approximately half of the medications that are oxidatively metabolized by P450 are CYP3A substrates.

We examined the impact of high-protein and high-fat diets on cholesterol metabolism by comparing the plasma cholesterol and the expression of cholesterol biosynthesis genes in the liver of mice fed a high-fat (HF) diet that has a high (H) or a low (L) protein-to-carbohydrate (P/C) ratio. H-P/C-HF feeding, compared with L-P/C-HF feeding, decreased plasma total cholesterol and increased HDL cholesterol concentrations at 4-wk. Interestingly, the expression of genes involved in hepatic steroid biosynthesis responded to an increased dietary P/C ratio by first down- regulation (2-d) followed by later up-regulation at 4-wk, and the temporal gene expression patterns were connected to the putative activity of SREBF1 and 2.
