Expression of cytochrome P450 in non-small cell lung cancer.
Lung cancer accounts for most of cancer-related deaths in both men and women. Lung cancer is also associated with cigarette smoking that exposes the individual to carcinogenic chemicals. Normally, CYP enzymes (cytochrome P450s) metabolize carcinogens to inactive derivatives, however, occasionally the action of CYP enzymes leads to development of more potent carcinogens. In addition to the metab...
متن کامل19nor-1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D2 specifically induces CYP3A9 in rat intestine more strongly than 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 in vivo and in vitro.
In the intestine, the vitamin D receptor is activated by 1alpha, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3] to perform its function in calcium homeostasis, or it is activated by lithocholic acid when its levels are elevated after a meal. Both ligands transcriptionally up-regulate the mRNA of enzymes belonging to the CYP3A subfamily, increasing the metabolism of a variety of carcinogens, drugs, and ho...
متن کاملRegulation of bile acid synthesis.
Bile acids are important physiological agents required for disposal of cholesterol and absorption of vitamins and fats. Bile acids are synthesized from cholesterol in the liver. Enterohepatic circulation of bile acids is very efficient and plays an important physiological role in lipid absorption and secretion, and regulation of bile acid biosynthesis and cholesterol homeostasis. Conversion of ...
متن کاملVitamin D3: an ever green molecule.
Vitamin D3 is a key regulator of vertebrates homeostasis. It is synthesized from the precursor 7-dehydrocholesterol upon UVB exposure in the skin and then hydrolyzed in the liver in position 25, to be finally converted into its active form, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D or calcitriol), in the kidneys. The biological activity of this molecule depends on its binding to the nuclear receptor ...
متن کاملCytochrome P450 in non-small cell lung cancer related to exogenous chemical metabolism.
The occurrence of lung cancer is associated with smoking, which exposes smokers to a series of carcinogenic chemicals. CYP (cytochrome P450) usually metabolizes carcinogens to their inactive derivatives, but occasionally convert the chemicals to more potent carcinogens. In addition to the metabolism of carcinogenic compounds, CYP also participates in the activation and/or inactivation of anti-c...
