JPET #127068 ABSTRACT CYP2A13 is the most efficient P450 enzyme in the metabolic activation of 4- (methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK), a tobacco-specific lung carcinogen. The aims of this study were to determine the levels of CYP2A13 protein in human lung microsomes, and to ascertain whether CYP2A13 plays any role in lung microsomal NNK metabolic activation. The expression of CYP2A6 and CYP2A13 was examined using a high-resolution immunoblotting method, following immunopurification with an anti-CYP2A5 antibody. We Downloaded from found that, of 116 human lung microsomal samples analyzed, ~90% had detectable CYP2A6, whereas only 12% had detectable CYP2A13, with a detection limit of ~2 fmol CYP2A/mg jpet.aspetjournals.org protein. For the majority of microsomal samples analyzed, the level of CYP2A13 was found to be lower than the level of CYP2A6; overall, the highest level of CYP2A13 found (~20 fmol/mg protein) was ~10-fold lower than the highest level of CYP2A6 detected. Quantitative RNA-PCR at ASPET Journals on September 28, 2021 analysis confirmed that the highly variable expression of the CYP2A proteins was consistent with variations in the levels of the corresponding CYP2A mRNAs in the same tissue samples. Importantly, the level of CYP2A13, but not CYP2A6, was correlated with lung microsomal NNK metabolic activation activity. Furthermore, addition of 8-methoxypsoralen, a CYP2A inhibitor, led to greater inhibition of NNK metabolic activation in microsomes containing relatively high levels of CYP2A13 than in samples containing no detectable CYP2A13. Taken together, these data indicate that human lung microsomal CYP2A13 is active in NNK metabolic activation. Therefore, individuals having relatively high levels of CYP2A13 expression will likely have an increased risk of developing smoking-related lung cancer. 3 JPET Fast Forward.

JPET #127068 Introduction The human cytochrome P450 (P450) CYP2A gene subfamily is known to have two functional members, CYP2A6 and CYP2A13 (Fernandez-Salguero et al., 1995, Su et al., 2000). Previous studies on CYP2A mRNA expression in human tissues indicated that CYP2A6 is expressed in the lung at much lower levels than in the liver, whereas CYP2A13 is selectively expressed in the respiratory tract (Koskela et al., 1999; Su et al., 2000). A more recent study indicated that CYP2A13 is also expressed in the bladder (Nakajima et al., 2006). Heterologously Downloaded from expressed CYP2A6 and CYP2A13 enzymes are both active in the metabolic activation of 4- (methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK), a lung procarcinogen, which is found in jpet.aspetjournals.org cigarettes (Hecht, 1998), and which can also be produced endogenously from nicotine metabolites (Hecht et al., 2000). NNK metabolic activation involves P450-catalyzed hydroxylation at one of the two α carbons to the N-nitroso group, leading to the formation of at ASPET Journals on September 28, 2021 reactive intermediates that can form either DNA adducts or else stable metabolites, including 4- hydroxy-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (HPB) and 4-oxo-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (OPB) (Hecht, 1998). Although multiple human P450 enzymes, including CYP1A1, CYP1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2A13, CYP2B6, CYP2E1, and CYP3A4, can catalyze NNK α-hydroxylation, CYP2A13 is by far the most efficient, with Km values in the low µM range (Su et al., 2000; Jalas et al., 2005). The catalytic efficiency of CYP2A13 is >100 times higher than that found for CYP2A6 (Jalas et al., 2005). Several lines of evidence, including the high catalytic efficiency toward NNK, the tissue- selective expression of CYP2A13 mRNA in human respiratory tract, and the finding of a significant association between a reduced-activity CYP2A13 allele and decreased incidence of lung adenocarcinoma in light smokers (Wang et al., 2003), strongly suggest that CYP2A13 plays 4 JPET Fast Forward.

JPET #127068 an important role in the metabolic activation of NNK in the respiratory tract of human smokers. The expression of CYP2A13 protein in a human tissue (nasal mucosa) was not demonstrated until recently, a success made possible by our development of a high-resolution immunoblotting method (Wong et al., 2005). There, we demonstrated that CYP2A13 protein is more abundant than CYP2A6 protein in human fetal nasal mucosa, and that, whereas CYP2A6 is the major enzyme for coumarin hydroxylation, CYP2A13 is the main enzyme for NNK metabolic activation in human fetal nasal microsomes. More recently, CYP2A13 protein was found to be Downloaded from selectively expressed in airway epithelial cells in adult human lung, in an immunohistochemical study using a newly generated anti-CYP2A13 peptide antibody (Zhu et al., 2006). Nevertheless, jpet.aspetjournals.org it remained to be determined (1) whether CYP2A13 protein can be detected in human lung microsomes; (2) whether microsomal levels of CYP2A13 protein differ among individuals; and (3) whether CYP2A13 plays a major role in NNK metabolism in lung microsomes. It should be at ASPET Journals on September 28, 2021 noted that, although CYP2A protein was detected in human lung microsomes in earlier studies (Shimada et al., 1996, Ulrike et al., 2006), it could not be determined whether CYP2A6 or CYP2A13 was detected in those studies, given that the two proteins could not be distinguished under the conditions used. Previous studies have demonstrated that human lung microsomes are active in the metabolic activation of NNK, and that this microsomal reaction is at least partially catalyzed by P450 enzymes (Smith et al., 1992; 1995; 2003). A definitive identification of the specific P450 enzymes responsible for NNK metabolic activation in human lung microsomes was not possible in those studies, but the involvement of multiple P450s, including CYP2A and CYP2B6, was suggested. In the present study, we have estimated the expression levels of CYP2A6 and CYP2A13 proteins for a large number of adult human lung microsomal samples. We found that 5 JPET Fast Forward.

JPET #127068 the levels of CYP2A6 and CYP2A13 proteins varied drastically among the samples analyzed. Subsequently, we performed quantitative analysis of CYP2A6 and CYP2A13 mRNA expression, to establish whether the variable expression of the CYP2A proteins was accompanied by similar variations at the mRNA level. Furthermore, we then analyzed microsomal samples with varying levels of CYP2A protein expression for rates of NNK α-hydroxylation. In addition, a known CYP2A inhibitor, 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP), was used to confirm the participation of CYP2A6 or CYP2A13

CYP enzymes catalyze oxidative transformation leading to activation or inactivation of many endogenous and exogenous chemicals, with consequences for normal physiology and disease processes. Many CYPs potentially have roles in developmental specification, and many chemicals that cause developmental abnormalities are substrates for CYPs. Here we identify and annotate the full suite of CYP genes in zebrafish, compare these to the human CYP gene complement, and determine the expression of CYP genes during normal development. Results: Zebrafish have a total of 94 CYP genes, distributed among 18 gene families found also in mammals. There are 32 genes in CYP families 5 to 51, most of which are direct orthologs of human CYPs that are involved in endogenous functions including synthesis or inactivation of regulatory molecules. The high degree of sequence similarity suggests conservation of enzyme activities for these CYPs, confirmed in reports for some steroidogenic enzymes (e.g. CYP19, aromatase; CYP11A, P450scc; CYP17, steroid 17a-hydroxylase), and the CYP26 retinoic acid hydroxylases. Complexity is much greater in gene families 1, 2, and 3, which include CYPs prominent in metabolism of drugs and pollutants, as well as of endogenous substrates.

Ziegler1* Degradation of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) is initiated by cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes and includes PCB oxidation to OH-metabolites, which often display a higher toxicity than their parental compounds. In search of an animal model refecting PCB metabolism and toxicity, we tested Drosophila melanogaster, a well-known model system for genetics and human disease. Feeding Drosophila with lower chlorinated (LC) PCB congeners 28, 52 or 101 resulted in the detection of a human-like pattern of respective OH-metabolites in fy lysates. Feeding fies high PCB 28 concentrations caused lethality. Thus we silenced selected CYPs via RNA interference and analyzed the efect on PCB 28-derived metabolite formation by assaying 3-OH-2′,4,4′-trichlorobiphenyl (3-OHCB 28) and 3′-OH-4′,4,6′-trichlorobiphenyl (3′-OHCB 28) in fy lysates. We identifed several drosophila CYPs (dCYPs) whose knockdown reduced PCB 28-derived OH-metabolites and suppressed PCB 28 induced lethality including dCYP1A2. Following in vitro analysis using a liver-like CYP-cocktail, containing human orthologues of dCYP1A2, we confrm human CYP1A2 as a PCB 28 metabolizing enzyme. PCB 28-induced mortality in fies was accompanied by locomotor impairment, a common phenotype of neurodegenerative disorders. Along this line, we show PCB 28-initiated caspase activation in diferentiated fy neurons.

  • Conformational Changes in Binding of Substrates with Human Cytochrome P450 Enzymes
    Book of oral abstracts 100 Conformational changes in binding of substrates with human cytochrome P450 enzymes F. Peter Guengerich, Clayton J. Wilkey, Michael J. Reddish, Sarah M. Glass, and Thanh T. N. Phan Department of Biochemistry, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Nashville, TN, USA Introduction. Extensive evidence now exists that P450 enzymes can exist in multiple conformations, at least in the substrate-bound forms (e.g., crystallography). This multiplicity can be the result of either an induced fit mechanism or conformational selection (selective substrate binding to one of two or more equilibrating P450 conformations). Aims. Kinetic approaches can be used to distinguish between induced fit and conformational selection models. The same energy is involved in reaching the final state, regardless of the kinetic path. Methods. Stopped-flow absorbance and fluorescence measurements were made with recombinant human P450 enzymes. Analysis utilized kinetic modeling software (KinTek Explorer®). Results. P450 17A1 binding to its steroid ligands (pregnenolone and progesterone and the 17-hydroxy derivatives) is dominated by a conformational selection process, as judged by (a) decreasing rates of substrate binding as a function of substrate concentration, (b) opposite patterns of the dependence of binding rates as a function of varying concentrations of (i) substrate and (ii) enzyme, and (c) modeling of the data in KinTek Explorer. The inhibitory drugs orteronel and abiraterone bind P450 17A1 in multi-step processes, apparently in different ways. The dye Nile Red is also a substrate for P450 17A1 and its sequential binding to the enzyme can be resolved in fluorescence and absorbance changes. P450s 2C8, 2D6, 2E1, and 4A11 have also been analyzed with regard to substrate binding and utilize primarily conformational selection models, as revealed by analysis of binding rates vs.

  • Characterisation of Equine Cytochrome P450s Catherine Orr
    Characterisation of Equine Cytochrome P450s Catherine Orr, BSc, MRes Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy October 2015 Abstract Cytochrome P450s (CYPs) are a superfamily of enzymes involved in the phase I metabolism of endogenous and exogenous substances. They are present in almost all forms of life and have been studied extensively, particularly in relation to human medicine, where knowledge of their activities is essential for predicting drug-drug interactions. In the horse, little is currently known about CYP-specific drug metabolism, which holds importance for animal welfare and for doping control within the horseracing industry where drug-specific metabolites are tested for on race days. Recently the first recombinant equine CYPs have been produced, allowing specific data on equine P450 activity to be gathered for the first time. During the current study,46 full-length P450 sequences were identified from the equine genome. RT- PCR analysis was then carried out on equine liver in order to detect hepatic expression of P450s across various families. After this, cold-induction (pCold) E. coli were used for production of recombinant P450 proteins for subsquent functional testing. Four recombinant equine P450s were successfully expressed (CYP1A1, CYP2A13, CYP2C92 and CYP2D50). Due to being the isoforms most likely to be involved in drug metabolism, rCYP2D50 and rCYP2C92 were selected to be screened against ten of the most commonly used horse drugs to identify potential substrates. rCYP2C92 appeared to metabolise all four NSAIDs tested (flunixin, ketoprofen, phenylbutazone and diclofenac), however presence of the known hydroxylated metabolites of diclofenac and phenylbutazone (4-hydroxydiclofenac and oxyphenbutazone, respectively) could not be confirmed despite being present within equine liver microsome and human recombinant CYP2C9 samples.

Introduction. Diferential expression of genes encoding cytochrome P450 (CYP) and other oxygenases enzymes involved in biotransformation mechanisms of endogenous and exogenous compounds can lead to oral tumor development. Objective.We aimed to identify the expression profle of these genes, searching for susceptibility biomarkers in oral squamous cell carcinoma.

  • Differential Expression of Cytochrome P450 Genes Regulate the Level of Adipose Arachidonic Acid in Sus Scrofa
    967 Asian-Aust. J. Anim. Sci. Vol. 21, No. 7 : 967 - 971 July 2008 www.ajas.info Differential Expression of Cytochrome P450 Genes Regulate the Level of Adipose Arachidonic Acid in Sus Scrofa Kyung-Mi Choia, Jin-Kyoo Moona, Seong-Ho Choi1, Kwan-Suk Kim1 Yang-Il Choi1, Jong-Joo Kim2 and Cheol-Koo Lee* Division of Biotechnology, College of Life Sciences and Biotechnology, Korea University, Seoul, Korea ABSTRACT : We compared the fatty acid composition of adipose tissues prepared from Korean native and Yorkshire pigs that have different characteristics in growth and fat deposition. There was no significant difference in the content of most fatty acids between the two breeds, with the exception of arachidonic acid and cis-11,14,17-eicosatrienoic acid. We also investigated the transcriptional levels of genes encoding three different types of oxygenases, including cytochrome P450 (CYP), lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase, which metabolize arachidonic acid. We found a significant difference in the expression of the CYP genes, CYP2A13, CYP2U1 and CYP3A4, but no differences for the latter two genes between the two breeds. Our results suggest that the difference in arachidonic acid content between the two breeds was caused by differential expression of the CYP genes. Eventually, different levels of EETs and HETEs produced from arachidonic acid by the activity of CYP might contribute partly to the difference of fatness between the two breeds. (Key Words : Arachidonic Acid, Cytochrome P450, Gene Expression, Adipose Tissue, Sus scrofa) INTRODUCTION metabolic homeostasis in organism. Pig (Sus scrofa) that has well-developed adipose tissue underneath the skin, Both accumulation and distribution of adipose tissue in could be a good model for adipogenesis research.
