Analysis of Protein and mRNA Expressions of CYP1A1 and CYP2E1 Enzymes In Liver, Colon And Prostate Cancer Cell Lines to Study Drug and Carcinogen Metabolism

2017-10-29
Most of the marketed drugs are metabolized by Cytochrome P450s (CYPs) known as phase I enzymes. A phase I enzyme, CYP1A1 catalyzes the conversion of many pro-carcinogens and hydroxylation of many endogenous substrates. CYP2E1 is also important in the metabolism of drugs, pre-toxins and pro-carcinogens. The present study was aimed to describe the best cell line model for studying phase I xenobiotic metabolizing CYP1A1 and CYP2E1 enzymes and possible effects of xenobiotics on these enzymes. In this study HT29 and SW620 (colon); HEPG2 and HUH7 (liver); PNT1A and PC3 (prostate) cell lines were chosen. Then, mRNA and protein expressions of the CYP1A1 and CYP2E1 enzymes in these cell lines were analyzed by qRT-PCR and Western blotting techniques, respectively. It has been found that CYP1A1 protein was expressed in all cell lines and relative protein expression is highest in the HT29 (100%). In addition, HEPG2 (0.63 fold) and HUH7 (1 fold) expressed highest CYP1A1 mRNA. CYP2E1 protein expression was found in all cell lines at relatively high levels except PC3. CYP2E1 mRNA expression was significantly higher in HUH7 (1 fold) and HT29 (0.59 fold). According to the results, there was no significant correlation between mRNA and protein expressions. Thus choosing the best cell line as model depends on the purpose of the research. For studying metabolism of a chemical by CYP1A1 and CYP2E1 or effect of a chemical on translational regulation of these enzymes, it is better to consider protein expression levels. However, if the aim is to study effect of a chemical on transcriptional regulation of these enzymes, it is better to choose a cell line that expressing highest mRNA of gene of interest. Considering both mRNA and protein expression levels together, the best model cell lines for studying CYP1A1 and CYP2E1 are HT29 and HUH7, respectively.

The present study was designed to evaluate different doses of ellagic acid (EA) in vivo in rats for its potential to modulate hepatic phases I, II, and antioxidant enzymes. EA (10 or 30 mg/kg/day, intragastrically) was administered for 14 consecutive days, and activity, protein, and mRNA levels were determined. Although the cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2B and CYP2E enzyme activities were decreased significantly, the activities of all other enzymes were unchanged with the 10 mg/kg/day EA. In addition, western-blot ...
Isolation and immunological characterization of theta class glutathione-s-transferase gstt2-2 from bovine liver
İşgör, Sultan Belgin; Çoruh, Nursen; Department of Biochemistry (2004)
The glutathione-S-transferases (GSTs) (EC.2.5.1.18) are enzymes that participate in cellular detoxification of endogenous as well as foreign electrophilic compounds, function in the cellular detoxification systems and are evolved to protect cells against reactive oxygen metabolites by conjugating the reactive molecules to the nucleophile scavenging tripeptide glutathione (GSH, ?-glu-cys-gly). The GSTs are found in all eukaryotes and prokaryotic systems, in the cytoplasm, on the microsomes, and in the mitoch...
Interaction of the cholesterol reducing agent simvastatin with zwitterionic DPPC and charged DPPG phospholipid membranes
Sariisik, Ediz; KOÇAK, MUSTAFA; Baloglu, Fatma Kucuk; Severcan, Feride (Elsevier BV, 2019-04-01)
Simvastatin is a lipid-lowering drug in the pharmaceutical group statins. Interaction of a drug with lipids may define its role in the system and be critical for its pharmacological activity. We examined the interactions of simvastatin with zwitterionic dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and anionic dipalmitoyl phosphatidylglycerol (DPPG) multilamellar vesicles (MLVs) as a function of temperature at different simvastatin concentrations using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and differentia...
The regulatory effect of CcaR activator on the cephamycin C gene cluster of streptomyces clavuligerus
Kurt, Aslıhan; Özcengiz, Gülay; Department of Biology (2011)
Streptomyces clavuligerus produces industrially important secondary metabolites such as cephamycin C (a β-lactam antibiotic) and clavulanic acid (a potent β-lactamase inhibitor). Cephamycin C is active against penicillin-resistant bacteria due to presence of methoxyl group in C-7 position of cephalosporin nucleus. Clavulanic acid is prescribed in combination with β-lactams for treatment of various bacterial infections. Cephamycin C and clavulanic acid gene clusters form β-lactam supercluster in S. clavulige...
Determination of hypothalamic neuropeptide levels involved in appetite regulation in atypical antipsychotic drug, risperidone treatment
Kurşungöz, Canan; Yanık, Tülin; Department of Biology (2012)
Although the use of atypical antipsychotic drugs is successful in the treatment of schizophrenia, they cause complications in the long term use that is mainly weight gain. In this study, circulating levels of hypothalamic neuropeptides/hormones, which are related to appetite regulation; neuropeptide Y (NPY), alpha melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH), cocaine and amphethamine regulated transcript (CART) and plus leptin in male schizophrenic patients who were treated with an atypical antipsychotic drug, ri...
