The inhibitory potentials of TCAs (imipramine, desipramine, amitriptyline, and nortriptyline) on phenytoin p-hydroxylation and probe metabolic pathways of each CYP isoforms were evaluated from incubation studies of human liver microsomes and cDNA-expressed cytochrome P450s in vitro in order to understand the mechanism of drug interaction between TCAs and phenytoin, a substrate of CYP2C9 and CYP2C19.

Objectives : This study investigated the protective effect of Ojeok-san (OJS) on cellular damage induced by oxidative stress and whether it induces changes in CYP450 expression. Methods : To investigate the protective effect, we used cells stimulated by oxidative stress caused by the combination treatment of AA+iron. Changes in CYP450 expression were detected by immunoblotting analysis using Huh7 cells. Results : We observed that OJS altered the expression of CYP1A2, CYP3A4, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP2E1. OJS increased cell viability against AA+iron-induced oxidative stress and inhibited mitochondrial dysfunction. OJS increased phosphorylation of LKB1, phosphorylation of AMPK, and phosphorylation of ACC, which are related to the LKB1-AMPK pathway. In addition, phosphorylation of LATS1 and phosphorylation of YAP, which are related to the Hippo-YAP pathway, were increased. Conclusions : Our results show that OJS has 1) the ability to protect hepatocytes against oxidative stress, and 2) the potential to induce changes in CYP450.

This study was undertaken to investigate the effects of single and combined exposure of toluene (T) and xylene (X) on the cytochrome-450(CYP)-mediated metabolizing capacity, induction of CYP isozymes and the excretion of their metabolites in urine. Animal were adults male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats and divided into 4 groups such as control, T (treated with 63.7 mg/body kg), X (treated with 65.9 mg/body kg) and TX(T=X). Organic solvents was administrated by intraperitoneal injection for 3 days. The contents of protein and CYP in liver microsomes of control group were $16.48{\pm}0.56 mg/m{\ell}$ and $0.744{\pm}0.025$ nmol/mg protein, respectively, and they contents were significantly lower than in derived from treated groups (p<0.01). The activities of PROD and ${\rho}NPH$ were significantly higher in single treated groups than in control and combined group (TX). When Western immunoblotting were carried out with two monoclonal antibodies (MAb 1-98-1 and MAb 2-66-3) which were specific against CYP2B1/2 and CYP2E1, respectively, a strong signal corresponding to CYP2B1/2 was observed in microsomes obtained from rats treated with X and TX. The color density against CYP2E1 was slightly increased in T and TX groups compared with C and X groups. The amounts of urinary hippuric acid in T single treated group was $3.29{\pm}1.97$ g/g creatinine and TX combined group was $2.91{\pm}1.76$ g/g creatinine, but was not significant. However, amount of urinary methy hippuric acid in X single treated group ($1.62{\pm}0.72$ g/g creatinine) was significantly higher than TX combined group ($0.93{\pm} 0.63$ g/g creatinine)(p<0.01). These results suggested that CYP2E1 isozyme might be responsible for the metabolism of T, and CYP2B1/2 isozyme is for X. And also, difference of metabolites level between single and combined group may be speculated that the intermediates of T and X interacted each other in the process of their metabolite formation reaction.

Objectives : We investigated the effects of Bojungikgi-tang (BJIGT) on P450 cytochrome enzyme and oxidative stress in the cells. Methods : We enrolled the HepG2 hepatocyte cell line to assess MTT assay, flow cytometer, and immunoblotting analysis. Expression of CYP450 was confirmed by immunoblotting analysis in the Huh7 cell line. Results : We determined that BJIKT markdely changed the expression of the CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP2E1. Moreover, BJIKT inhibited the cell toxicity induced by arachidonic acid + iron treatment, as assessed by FACS analysis. BJIKT induced AMPK activation, which increased the phophorylation of ACC. Conclusions : This study verified the effects of BJIKT, on P450, ROS production, mitochondrial damage and AMPK signaling pathway, which might give us the scientific information about the traditional herbal prescription.

Objectives: Yongdamsagan-tang (YST) and Paljung-san (PJS) in traditional medicine and finasteride in modern medicine are used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). In recent, the use of combination herbal remedies with conventional drugs has been increasing. Therefore, we investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of these drugs to treat BPH and the influence of herbal formulas on finasteride metabolism. Methods: The inhibitory effects of the herbal formulas and finasteride on the production of inflammatory mediators and cytokines were determined in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated RAW 264.7 cells. Additionally, the influence of herbal formulas on activities of human drug metabolizing enzymes (DMEs) was assessed using human microsomal enzymes. Results: We observed that YST, PJS and finasteride inhibited the production of nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandin E₂ (PGE₂) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in RAW 264.7 cells. The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC₅₀) of YST on PGE₂ production was calculated to be below 25 ㎍/mL. YST inhibited the activity of uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyltransterase (UGT) 1A4 with an IC₅₀ value of 49.35 ㎍/mL. The activities of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C19, CYP3A4, and UGT1A1 were inhibited by PJS (IC₅₀ < 100 ㎍/mL, each). Although PJS and YST inhibited the activities of CYP3A4 and UGT1A4, respectively, these formulas may not influence the metabolism of finasteride because the IC₅₀ values of herbal formulas on DMEs are too high to affect metabolism. Conclusions: Our results suggest that the combination of finasteride and YST or PJS might not influence their drug metabolism and that the drugs may have synergistic effects against BPH.

목 적: CYP1B1은 자궁내막증의 발생과 관련된 에스트로겐의 대사 및 dioxin의 대사 모두와 관련이 있는 유전자로 생각하여 자궁내막증의 발생위험과 CYP1B1의 codon 119G${\rightarrow}$T, 432G${\rightarrow}$C, 449T${\rightarrow}$C, 453A${\rightarrow}$G의 유전자 다형성과의 관계에 대해서 알아보고자 하였다. 연구방법: 병리조직학적으로 자궁내막증 III기와 IV기임을 확인한 여성 199명과 대조군으로 자궁내막증 환자군과 연령이 비슷한 여성에서 양성 난소 낭종으로 수술을 시행하여 자궁내막증이 없음을 육안으로 확인한 183명을 대상으로 PCR 및 RFLP를 시행하여 CYP1B1의 codon 119G${\rightarrow}$T, 432C${\rightarrow}$G, 449T${\rightarrow}$C, 453A${\rightarrow}$G의 다형성을 조사하였다. 결 과: CYP1B1에서 $Ala^{l19}Ser$, $Va1^{432}Leu$, $Asn^{449}(T^{449}{\rightarrow}C)$, $Asn^{453}Ser$ 각각의 유전자 다형성은 그 분포와 위험도에 있어서 자궁내막증 환자와 대조군 간에 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다. CYP1B1에서 앞서 밝힌 4가지 codon의 다형성을 조합한 결과 GG/CC/CC/AA의 유전자형을 갖는 여성에 비해 GG/GC+GG/TC+TT/AA의 유전자형을 갖는 경우만이 자궁내막증의 위험도가 2.056 (95% CI: 1.003-4.216)으로 유의하게 높은 것을 알 수 있었다. 결 론: 이상으로 볼 때 한국인 여성에서 중증자궁내막증 발생은 CYP1B1의 유전적 다형성과 관련이 있는 것으로 보이며, 향후 자궁내막증의 발생 기전을 밝히는데 주요한 자료가 될 것으로 본다.

Diesel exhaust particle (<2.5 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, DEP$_{2.5}$) is known to be probarbly carcinogenic (IARC group 2A). DEP$_{2.5}$ contains organic compounds such as polycyclicaromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), heterocyclic compounds, phenols, and nitroarenes. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated by DEP$_{2.5}$ without any biological activation system. Therefore, an alternative mechanism by which DEP$_{2.5}$ could be carcinogenic is known by the generation of oxidative DNA damage. The aim of this study was to investigate genotoxic effects of DEP$_{2.5}$ using single cell gel electrophoresis. In order to evaluate the mechanisms of DEP$_{2.5}$ genotoxicity, the rat micro-some mediated and DNA repair enzyme treated comet assays together with routine comet assay were performed. DEP$_{2.5}$ was collected from diesel engine bus and dichloromethane extract was obtained. The organic extract of DEP$_{2.5}$ revealed DNA damage itself in NIH/3T3 cells. And it showed both oxidative and microsome mediated DNA damages. Vitamin C as an model antioxidant reduced DNA damage in endonuclase III treated comet assay. One of flavonoid, galangin as a CYP1A1 inhibitor reduced DNA damage in the presence of S-9 mixture. Our results show that DEP$_{2.5}$ are genotoxic and a great source of oxidative stress, but antioxidants can significantly reduce oxidative DNA damages. And DEP$_{2.5}$ may contain indirect mutagens which can be inhibited by CYP inhibitors.d by CYP inhibitors.
