CYP107W1 from Streptomyces avermitilis is a cytochrome P450 enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of macrolide oligomycin A. A previous study reported that CYP107W1 regioselectively hydroxylated C12 of oligomycin C to produce oligomycin A, and the crystal structure of ligand free CYP107W1 was determined. Here, we analyzed the structural properties of the CYP107W1-oligomycin A complex and characterized the functional role of the Trp178 residue in CYP107W1. The crystal structure of the CYP107W1 complex with oligomycin A was determined at a resolution of $2.6{\AA}$. Oligomycin A is bound in the substrate access channel on the upper side of the prosthetic heme mainly by hydrophobic interactions. In particular, the Trp178 residue in the active site intercalates into the large macrolide ring, thereby guiding the substrate into the correct binding orientation for a productive P450 reaction. A Trp178 to Gly mutation resulted in the distortion of binding titration spectra with oligomycin A, whereas binding spectra with azoles were not affected. The Gly178 mutant's catalytic turnover number for the 12-hydroxylation reaction of oligomycin C was highly reduced. These results indicate that Trp178, located in the open pocket of the active site, may be a critical residue for the productive binding conformation of large macrolide substrates.

Breast cancer is a major cause of death in women worldwide. Mammary tissue expressing xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes metabolically activate or detoxify potential genotoxic breast carcinogens. Deregulation of these xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes is considered to be a major contributory factor to breast cancer. The present study is focused on the expression of the xenobiotic metabolizing gene, CYP1A1, in breast cancer and its possible relationships with different risk factors. Twenty five tumors and twenty five control breast tissue samples were collected from patients undergoing planned surgery or biopsy from different hospitals. Semi-quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and western-blotting were used to investigate the expression of CYP1A1 in breast cancer control and disease samples. mRNA expression of CYP1A1 was down-regulated in 40% of breast tumor samples. Down-regulation was also observed at the protein level. Significnat relations were noted with marital status and tumour grade but not histopathological type. In conclusion, CYP1A1 protein expression was markedly reduced in tumor breast tissues samples as compared to paired control tissue samples.

The ripe fruit of Hass avocado contains one of the highest elvels of cytochrome P-450 protein found in the plant kingdom. To determine whether wounded roots of avocado contain P-450 protein, the roots of avocado were wounded by slicing, and then allowed to incubate in sealed plastic bags, in 0.4M mannitol, and in the solution to make protoplast preparation containing cellulysin and macerase during the specified times. The microsomal proteins were extracted from the samples, separated by SDS-PAGE, and then subjected to Western blot analysis using polyclonal antibodies which are generated against the CYP71A1 protein. wounded roots in sealed bags produced CYP71A1 within 6 hours after cutting, and those in 0.4M mannitol did not produce CYP71A1 even after 72 hours, but those in the protoplast preparation by cellulysin and macerase induced and produced CYP71A was induced in only 24 hours. These results indicate that CYP 71A1 plays a role for wound healing for root tissue o avocado, and would-inducible P-450 protein was not detected in the mannitol solution by preventing a synthesis of ethylene in a liquid state, but the softening of tissues by cellulysin and macerase to make protoplast preparation was involved in an activation of CYP 71A1 even in the liquid state.

The genomic DNA was prepared from trout liver which was treated with 3-methycholanthrene, and cloned into lambda EMBL3 at BamHl site. The genomic library was constructed via infections of these recombinant phages into E. coli K802, and screened by the most $5^I$-portion of trout CYP1A1 cDNA. After the screening of $10^9$ clones of the amplified library, 12 positive clones were isolated, and subjected to further screenings. The results of southern blot hybridization of genomic DNA prepared from the positive clone showed the presence of a single gene of CYP1A1, and 3.5 Kb PstI fragment that hybridizes with the most $5^I$-region DNA of CYP1A1 cDNA. The restriction map of PstI fragment was determined by the restriction digestion with various enzymes. The nucleotide sequence of the upstream genomic DNA of CYPIAI was determined by DNA sequencing of exonuclease III unidirectionally deleted PstI fragment DNA using $[^{35}/S]$dATP. This paper presented the upstream genomic DNA of CYP1A1 contained a part of coding region which was about 351 base pairs (from ATG to PstI site at 3563).

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.

Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes are a large family of constitutive and inducible mono-oxygenase enzymes that play a central role in the oxidative metabolism of both xenobiotic and endogenous compounds. Several CYPs are involved in metabolism of oxysterols, which are cholesterol oxidation products whose expression may be dysregulated in inflammation-related diseases including cancer. This study focused on CYP39A1, which can metabolize 24-hydroxycholesterol (24-OH) that plays important roles in the inflammatory response and oxidative stress. We aimed to investigate the expression status of CYP39A1 and its transcription factor (RUNX2) in relation to clinical significance in cholangiocarcinoma (CCAs) and to determine whether 24-OH could induce oxidative stress in CCA cell lines. Immunohistochemistry showed that 70% and 30% of CCA patients had low and high expression of CYP39A1, respectively. Low expression of CYP39A1 demonstrated a significant correlation with metastasis. Our results also revealed that the expression of RUNX2 had a positive correlation with CYP39A1. Low expression of both CYP39A1 (70%) and RUNX2 (37%) was significantly related with poor prognosis of CCA patients. Interestingly, oxidized alpha-1 antitrypsin (ox-A1AT), an oxidative stress marker, was significantly increased in CCA tissues in which CYP39A1 and RUNX2 were down regulated. Additionally, immunocytochemistry showed that 24-OH could induce ox-A1AT in CCA cell lines. In conclusion, our study revealed putative roles of the CYP39A1 enzyme in prognostic determination of CCAs.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relative contribution of CYP1A2 isoforms (-3860 G/A, -2467T/delT and -163C/A) in control subjects and breast cancer patients to the metabolism of caffeine in human liver. Restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of PCR-amplified Fragments (PCR-RFLP) was used for the genotyping of CYP1A2 SNPs and HPLC allowed the phenotyping through the measurement of CYP1A2 activity using the 17X + 13X + 37X/137X urinary metabolite ratio (CMR) and plasma caffeine half life (T1/2). The CYP1A2 -3860A genotype was associated with a decreased risk of breast cancer. In contrast, distributions of the CYP1A2 -2467T/delT or -2467delT/delT and -163A/C or A/A genotypes among breast cancer patients and controls were similar. When the genotype and phenotype relationship was measured by comparing the mean CMR ratios and caffeine half life within the genotype groups between subjects and breast cancer patients, there were no significant differences except for -3860 A, most of them being homozygous for the -3860 G/G SNP and had a significant higher mean CMR ratio and half life than those with -3860 G/A (P=0.02). The results of this preliminary study show a significant association between CP1A2 -3860 G variant and CYP1A2 phenotype which must be confirmed by further large-size case-control studies.

Individual genetic susceptibilities to cancers may result from several factors including differences in xenobiotics metabolism to chemical carcinogens, DNA repair, altered oncogenes and suppressor genes, and environmental carcinogen exposures. Among them, genetic polymorphisms of metabolizing enzymes to chemical carcinogens have been recognized as a major important host factors in human cancers. They have two main types of enzymes: the phase I cytochrome P-450 mediating enzymes (CYPs) and phase II conjugating enzymes. The purpose of this study is to determine the frequencies of genotypes of phase I (CYP1A1 and CYP2E1) and phase II (NAT2) metabolizing enzymes in healthy control and head and neck cancer patients of Korean and to identify the relative high risk genotypes of these metabolizing enzymes to head and neck cancer in Korean. The author has analyzed 132 head and neck cancer patients and 113 healthy controls using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). The results were as following; 1. The frequencies of genotypes of CYP1A1, CYP2E1 and NAT2 in healthy control were as following; CYP1A1 exon 7 polymorphism; Ile/Ile: Ile/Val: Val/Val = 59.3%: 36.3%: 4.4% CYP2E1 Pst I polymorphism, C1/C1: C1/C2: C2/C2 = 61.1%: 32.1%: 6.2% NAT2 polymorphism; F/F: F/S: S/S = 43.4%: 48.7%: 8.0% 2. In analysis of phase I enzyme, Val/Val genotype in CYP1A1 exon 7 polymorphism and C2/C2 genotype in CYP2E1 Pst I polymorphism were associated with relative high risks to head and neck cancers (Odds' ratio: 2.09 and 1.37, respectively). 3. Among the genotypes of NAT2 enzyme polymorphism, S/S genotype of NAT2 enzyme had 1.03 times of relative risk to head and neck cancers. 4. In combined genotyping of CYP1A1, CYP2E1, and NAT2 enzymes polymorphisms, the patients with Val/Val and C1/C1, C2/C2 and fast acetylator, and Val/Val and fast acetylator had higher relative risks than the patients with each baseline of combined genotypes (Odds' ratio: 2.82, 1.98 and 2.1, respectively). These results suggest the combined genotypes of Val/Val and C1/C1, C2/C2 and fast acetylator, and Val/Val and fast acetylator were more susceptible to head and neck cancers in Korean. And genotyping of metabolizing enzymes could be useful for predicting individual susceptibility to head and neck cancer.

수용성 식이섬유의 섭취는 혈청 콜레스테롤 저하효과가 있으며 , 그 작용기 작으로는 수용성 식이섬유의 점성으로 인한 콜레스테롤과 담즙산 흡수저해, 대장내 미생물 발효로 생성 된 단쇄지방산에 의한 콜레스테롤 합성률 변경 및 담즙산 합성증가 등으로 설명되어진다. 그러나 명확한 작용기전은 규명 되지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 간세포 핵내의 CYP7A1의 발현에 호르몬과 식이섬유의 발효로 생성된 단쇄지방산이 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 사람의 간세포(HepG2 세포)의 배양배지에 insulin, dexamethasone 및 triiodothyronine을 각각 $1\;{\mu}M$ 투여하고 24시간 배양하였다. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR기법에 의해 CYP7A1 mRNA발현을 측정한 결과, dexamethasone에서 가장 높아 $173\%$의 증가를 나타내었고, 그 다음으로 insulin에서 $150\%$, triiodothyronine 에서 $141\%$의 증가를 나타내었다. 이처럼 transient transfection을 하지 않은 HepG2 세포에서 생리적 조절자로 알려진 insulin, dexamethasone 및 triiodothyronine이 CYP7A1의 발현을 모두 증가시킨다는 결과는 본 연구에서 처음으로 규명하며, rat gene and/or human gene 발현이 다르게 조절됨을 제안한다. 단쇄지방산에 의한 HepG2 세포에서의 CYP7A1 유전자의 발현 정도를 측정하기 위해서 actetate, propionate 및 butyrate를 각각 1 M농도로 24시간 동안 배양한 결과, 모든 단쇄지방산이 CYP7A1의 발현을 증가시켰다. Acetate와 propionate는 유사한 효과를 나타내어 대조군에 비하여 1.8배의 증가를 나타내었으며 , butyrate는 1.5배의 증가를 보였다. 이상의 결과는 수용성 식이섬유 섭취시 나타나는 콜레스테롤 저하 효과는 수용성 식이섬유의 대장 발효가 대장을 자극함으로써 내인성 호르몬의 변화를 통해서 나타나거나 대장내 발효산물인 actetate, propionate 및 butyrate 등이 흡수되어 간에서의 CYP7A1의 up-regulation에 의한 담즙산 배설증가에 따른 결과로 설명할 수 있을 것이다. 단쇄지방산의 CYP7A1 발현에 미치는 작용은 acetate와 propionate가 butyrate보다 큼을 알 수 있었다.
