Cytochrome P450 1B1 and Primary Congenital Glaucoma.

ABSTRACT: Cytochrome P450 1B1 (Cyp1b1) belongs to the CYP450 superfamily of heme-binding mono-oxygenases which catalyze oxidation of various endogenous and exogenous substrates. The expression of Cyp1b1 plays an important role in the modulation of development and functions of the trabecular meshwork (TM). Mutations in Cyp1b1 have been reported in patients with primary congenital glaucoma (PCG). Mice lacking Cyp1b1 also exhibit developmental defects in the TM similar to those reported in congenital glaucoma patients. However, how Cyp1b1 deficiency contributes to TM dysgenesis remains unknown. In the present review, we will address the significance of Cyp1b1 expression and/or its function in anterior segment development. Cyp1b1-deficient (Cyp1b1 (-/-)) mice are discussed as a promising model for an oxidative stress-induced model of PCG, in which Cyp1b1 activity is revealed as an important modulator of oxidative homeostasis contributing to the development and structural function of the TM. This conclusion suggests a possible clinical intervention for individuals who are genetically at high risk of developing PCG.

Project description:Eleven polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and 14 acetylenic PAHs and biphenyls were used to analyze interactions with cytochrome P450 (P450) 1B1 in inhibiting catalytic activity, using 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylation (EROD) as a model reaction. Most of the chemicals examined were direct inhibitors of P450 1B1 except for 4-(1-propynyl)biphenyl, a mechanism-based inhibitor. In the case of direct inhibition of EROD activity {15 of 24 chemicals, e.g., benzo[a]pyrene, 1-(1-propynyl)pyrene, and 3-(1-propynyl)phenanthrene}, restoration of the EROD activity occurred with increasing incubation time, and kinetic analysis showed that EROD K(m) values were higher with these inhibitors at initial stages of incubation but became lower with increasing incubation time. With the other nine chemicals, the K(m) values for P450 1B1-mediated EROD increased during the incubations. Acetylenic inhibitors, but not the 11 PAHs, induced reverse type I spectral changes with P450 1B1, and the low dissociation constants (K(s)) suggested a role for such interaction in the inhibition of catalytic activity. Studies of quenching of P450 1B1-derived fluorescence with inhibitors demonstrated that acetylenic inhibitors and PAHs interacted rapidly with P450 1B1, with K(d) values < 10 microM. However, studies of quenching of inhibitor-derived fluorescence with P450 1B1 showed these interactions to be different, that is, B[a]P interacted with P450 1B1 more slowly. Molecular docking of P450 1B1, based on P450 1A2 crystal structure, suggested that there are clear differences in the interaction of PAH inhibitors with P450 1B1 and 1A2 and that these differences may explain why PAH inhibitors inhibit P450 1 enzymes by different mechanisms. The results suggest that P450 1B1 interacts with synthetic polycyclic aromatic acetylenes and PAHs in different ways, depending on the chemicals, and that these differences in interactions may explain how these chemicals inhibit P450 activities by different mechanisms.
