Regulation of Human Cytochrome P4501A1 (hCYP1A1): A Plausible Target for Chemoprevention?
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 characteristics of CYP1A1 letting us understand its role in the bioactivation of precarcinogen and the consequences of its modulation in other physiological processes, as well as guide us in the study of this important protein.

Sustained induction of cytochrome P4501A1 in human hepatoma cells by co-exposure to benzo[a]pyrene and 7H-dibenzo[c,g]carbazole underlies the synergistic effects on DNA adduct formation.
To gain a deeper insight into the potential interactions between individual aromatic hydrocarbons in a mixture, several benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) and 7H-dibenzo[c,g]carbazole (DBC) binary mixtures were studied. The biological activity of the binary mixtures was investigated in the HepG2 and WB-F344 liver cell lines and the Chinese hamster V79 cell line that stably expresses the human cytochrome P4...
متن کاملEffects of Beta-Naphthoflavone and 3-Methylcholantheren on Biochemical Markers in Sturgeon Fish, Huso huso
Background: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a predominant group of contaminants that have been shown to accumulate and persist in marine organisms. We evaluated the dose-dependent induction of the cytochrome P4501A (CYP1A) system in the Sturgeon fish, Huso huso after after exposure to PAHs, beta-naphthoflavone (BNF) and 3- methylcholantheren. Methods: The fish were treated by i.p...
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 کاملCancer chemopreventive activity mediated by 4'-bromoflavone, a potent inducer of phase II detoxification enzymes.
Induction of phase II enzymes is an important mechanism of chemoprevention. In our search for novel cancer chemopreventive agents, 4'-bromoflavone (4'BF) was found to significantly induce quinone reductase (QR) activity in cultured murine hepatoma 1c1c7 cells (concentration to double activity: 10 nM) and effectively induce the alpha- and mu-isoforms of glutathione S-transferase in cultured H4II...
متن کاملTargeting of NH2-terminal–processed Microsomal Protein to Mitochondria: A Novel Pathway for the Biogenesis of Hepatic Mitochondrial P450MT2
Cytochrome P4501A1 is a hepatic, microsomal membrane-bound enzyme that is highly induced by various xenobiotic agents. Two NH2-terminal truncated forms of this P450, termed P450MT2a and MT2b, are also found localized in mitochondria from beta-naphthoflavone-induced livers. In this paper, we demonstrate that P4501A1 has a chimeric NH2-terminal signal that facilitates the targeting of the protein...
