Induction of human cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase in HepG2 cells by 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone.

چکیده
In animal the plasma cholesterol-lowering activity of 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone (THA) is due to enhanced cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7A1) activity. We have examined the effect of THA on CYP7A1 activity and mRNA level in HepG2 cells. THA stimulated CYP7A1 activity in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. After exposure for 24 h, 1 muM THA induced CYP7A1 activity 160+/-8% and mRNA level 166+/-21% (mean+/-S.E.M.) of control. Moreover THA antagonized the inhibitory regulation of chenodeoxycholic acid on CYP7A1 mRNA expression. These results indicated that THA increases CYP7A1 activity in human HepG2 cells by stimulating mRNA transcription.

Transcriptional induction of cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase by dexamethasone in L35 hepatoma cells requires sulfhydryl reducing agents.
It is known that hepatic levels of reduced glutathione correlate with the activity of the liver-specific enzyme cholesterol-7alpha-hydroxylase. We examined the possibility that sulfhydryl reducing agents activate transcription of cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase. Adding dithiothreitol (DTT, 1 mM) and dexamethasone to L35 hepatoma cells increased the content of 7alpha-hydroxylase mRNA 3-fold above...
متن کاملEffects of CYP7A1 overexpression on cholesterol and bile acid homeostasis.
The initial and rate-limiting step in the classic pathway of bile acid biosynthesis is 7alpha-hydroxylation of cholesterol, a reaction catalyzed by cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7A1). The effect of CYP7A1 overexpression on cholesterol homeostasis in human liver cells has not been examined. The specific aim of this study was to determine the effects of overexpression of CYP7A1 on key regula...
متن کاملTranscriptional regulation of the human cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase gene (CYP7A) in HepG2 cells.
A stable HepG2 cell line harboring a human cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7A) minigene/luciferase reporter gene construct was selected for studying transcriptional regulation of CYP7A gene promoter. Insulin and phorbol 12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) strongly repressed the promoter activity as measured with luciferase activity expressed in the cells. The promoter activity of the 5' progressi...
متن کاملCholeretic activity of phloracetophenone in rats: structure-function studies using acetophenone analogues.
The relationship between the chemical structure and choleretic activity of phloracetophenone (2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone) was investigated in adult male rats. Fourteen acetophenone analogues, with different substituents on the benzene nucleus, were intraduodenally administered and bile samples were collected via a bile fistula. All of the compounds tested immediately induced choleresis. For t...
متن کاملLipoprotein cholesterol uptake mediates up-regulation of bile-acid synthesis by increasing cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase but not sterol 27-hydroxylase gene expression in cultured rat hepatocytes.
Lipoproteins may supply substrate for the formation of bile acids, and the amount of hepatic cholesterol can regulate bile-acid synthesis and increase cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase expression. However, the effect of lipoprotein cholesterol on sterol 27-hydroxylase expression and the role of different lipoproteins in regulating both enzymes are not well established. We studied the effect of dif...
