Due to the importance of in vitro cytochrome P450 (P450) induction assay to assess the possible drug-drug interaction events, the recent US Food and Drug Administration draft guidance and European Medicines Agency guideline recommend to assess P450 induction using fresh or cryopreserved hepatocytes at mRNA level and/or enzyme activity level. Although cryopreserved hepatocytes are commercially a...

Pregnane X receptor (PXR) mRNA was detected in HepG2 cells by RT-PCR, but not in human fetal liver (HFL) cells. CYP3A4 was induced by rifampicin (RIF), mifepristone (RU486), clotrimazole (CTZ), and dexamethasone (DEX) in HepG2 cells, while these PXR ligands with the exception of DEX did not induce CYP3A4 mRNA expression in HFL cells. Ad-PXR infection increased mRNA levels of PXR and CYP3A4 in b...

1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1,25(OH)(2)D(3)) is known to induce the expression of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) in human colon carcinoma Caco-2 cells. Recently, it was demonstrated that the vitamin D receptor (VDR) regulates 1,25(OH)(2)D(3)-induced CYP3A4 gene expression through the xenobiotic-responsive element and the vitamin D-responsive element located on the 5'-flanking region of the CYP3A4...
