Comparison of two immortalized human cell lines to study nuclear receptor-mediated CYP3A4 induction.

چکیده
Since CYP3A4 is responsible for the biotransformation of over 50% of all clinically used drugs, induction results in an increased clearance of many concomitantly administered drugs, thereby decreasing treatment efficacy or, in the case of prodrugs, lead to severe intoxications. CYP3A4 induction is regulated by the pregnane X receptor, constitutive androstane receptor, and vitamin D receptor. Since these nuclear receptors show large interspecies differences, accurate prediction of nuclear receptor-mediated CYP3A4 induction in humans requires the use of human systems. Because primary cultures of human hepatocytes or enterocytes have major drawbacks like poor availability and poor reproducibility, human cell lines are a good alternative. In this study, the widely used HepG2 cell line was compared with the LS180 cell line to serve as a model to study CYP3A4 induction. There was a clear difference between the cell lines with respect to CYP3A enzyme expression and induction. In LS180, CYP3A4 was expressed and was found to be induced by prototypical nuclear receptor agonists, whereas in HepG2, CYP3A4 was nonresponsive to treatment with rifampicin, CITCO [6-(4-chlorophenyl)imidazo[2,1-b][1,3]thiazole-5-carbaldehyde-O-3,4-dichlorobenzyl) oxime], or calcitriol. We subsequently evaluated whether these host-cell differences also have an effect on CYP3A4 reporter gene activity. We clearly show that there are differences in CYP3A4 reporter activity between the cell lines, and based on these results and those found on mRNA and protein level, we conclude that LS180 is a more suitable cell line to study CYP3A4 induction than the widely used HepG2.

Induction of chromosomal aberrations in human primary fibroblasts and immortalized cancer cells exposed to extremely-low-frequency electromagnetic fields
Background: Rapidly increasing possibilities of exposure to environmental extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMF) have become a topic of worldwide investigation. Epidemiological and laboratory studies suggest that exposure to ELF-EMF may increase cancer risk therefore assessment of chromosomal damage in various cell lines might be of predictive value for future risk es...
متن کاملInduction of apoptosis in human tumor cell lines by platelets
Introduction: It has been reported that platelets can eradicate tumor cells in vitro, although the mechanism of this effect has not been determined. The effect of platelets on the induction of apoptosis in tumor cells is largely unknown. Materials and methods: To investigate this effect, two human hematologic cell lines, K562 and Daudi, were independently faced with unstimulated and thromb...
متن کاملAn Alkaline Phosphatase Reporter Gene Assay for Induction of CYP3A4 In Vitro
CYP3A4 probably has the broadest catalytic activity of any cytochrome P450. It is a crucial task to test new drug candidates in a reliable system for their ability to induce expression of this enzyme. Firstly, a total of 300 bp core distal enhancer of CYP3A4 XREM region (-7972/-7673) were amplified from human genomic DNA. The PCR product was then ligated into a human secretory alkaline phosphat...
