Regulation of Human Cytochrome P4501A1 (hCYP1A1): A Plausible Target for Chemoprevention?
Human cytochrome P450 1A1 (hCYP1A1) has been an object of study due to its role in precarcinogen metabolism; for this reason it is relevant to know more in depth the mechanisms that rule out its expression and activity, which make this enzyme a target for the development of novel chemiopreventive agents. The aim of this work is to review the origin, regulation, and structural and functional cha...
متن کاملInduction of cytochrome P4501A1.
Cytochrome P4501A1 is a substrate-inducible microsomal enzyme that oxygenates polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, such as the carcinogen benzo(a)pyrene, as the initial step in their metabolic processing to water-soluble derivatives. Enzyme induction reflects increased transcription of the cognate CYP1A1 gene. The environmental toxicant 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin is the most potent known ...
متن کاملRegulation of cytochrome P4501A1 expression in rat small intestine.
The predominant inducible cytochrome P450 (CYP) in rat small intestine is CYP1A1, which, when induced to elevated levels by xenobiotics or dietary constituents, has the potential to metabolize and consequently reduce the systemic uptake of low concentrations of orally ingested, bioactivatable polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and heterocyclic aromatic amines. We investigated the regulation of sm...
متن کاملCytochrome P450s and chemoprevention.
The cytochrome P450 mono-oxygenase system represents a major defence against chemical challenge from the environment, constituting part of an adaptive response mounted by an organism following exposure to harmful agents. Cytochrome P450s are also able to catalyse the activation of compounds to toxic products, and participate in a variety of essential 'housekeeping' functions, such as biosynthes...
متن کاملEpigenetic inactivation of the dioxin-responsive cytochrome P4501A1 gene in human prostate cancer.
2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD; dioxin) is a toxic environmental contaminant that works through dioxin response elements (DRE) to activate gene expression. We tested the hypothesis that cancer-related epigenetic changes suppress dioxin activation of the cytochrome P4501A1 (CYP1A1) gene. 5-Aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-aza-CdR), an inhibitor of DNA methylation, increases TCDD-inducible CYP1...
