Bisphenol-A glucuronidation in human liver and breast: identification of UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) and influence of genetic polymorphisms.

ABSTRACT: 1.?Bisphenol-A is a ubiquitous environmental contaminant that is primarily metabolized by glucuronidation and associated with various human diseases including breast cancer. Here we identified UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) and genetic polymorphisms responsible for interindividual variability in bisphenol-A glucuronidation in human liver and breast. 2.?Hepatic UGTs showing the highest bisphenol-A glucuronidation activity included UGT2B15 and UGT1A9. Relative activity factor normalization indicated that UGT2B15 contributes?>80% of activity at bisphenol-A concentrations under 5??M, while UGT1A9 contributes up to 50% of activity at higher concentrations. 3.?Bisphenol-A glucuronidation by liver microsomes (46 donors) ranged from 0.25 to 4.3 nmoles/min/mg protein. Two-fold higher glucuronidation (p?=?0.018) was observed in UGT1A9 *22/*22 livers compared with *1/*1 and *1/*22 livers. However, no associations were observed for UGT2B15*2 or UGT1A1*28 genotypes. 4.?Bisphenol-A glucuronidation by breast microsomes (15 donors) ranged from <0.2 to 56 fmoles/min/mg protein. Breast mRNA expression of UGTs capable of glucuronidating bisphenol-A was highest for UGT1A1, followed by UGT2B4, UGT1A9, UGT1A10, UGT2B7 and UGT2B15. Bisphenol-A glucuronidation was over 10-fold lower in breast tissues with the UGT1A1*28 allele compared with tissues without this allele (p?=?0.006). 5.?UGT2B15 and UGT1A9 contribute to glucuronidation variability in liver, while UGT1A1 is important in breast.

Project description:Dibenzo[a,l]pyrene (DB[a,l]P) (dibenzo[def,p]chrysene) is a highly carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) that has been identified in tobacco smoke and is found in our environment due to incomplete combustion of organic matter. Its metabolites are known to form stable DNA adducts in bacteria and mammalian cells, and can lead to tumors in animal models. Glucuronidation of major metabolites of DB[a,l]P by the uridine-5'-diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) family of enzymes is an important route of detoxification of this pro-carcinogen. The focus of the current study was to characterize the glucuronidation of the pro-carcinogenic enantiomers DB[a,l]P-(+)-trans-11S,12S-diol and DB[a,l]P-(-)-trans-11R,12R-diol. Glucuronidation assays with HEK293 cell lines overexpressing individual human UGT enzymes demonstrated that UGTs 1A1, 1A4, 1A7, 1A8, 1A9, 1A10, and 2B7 glucuronidated one or both DB[a,l]P-trans-11,12-diol enantiomers. Three glucuronide conjugates were observed in activity assays with UGTs 1A1 and 1A10, while two glucuronides were formed by UGTs 1A7, 1A8, and 1A9, and one glucuronide was made by UGT1A4 and UGT2B7. Enzyme kinetic analysis indicated that UGT1A9 was the most efficient UGT at forming both the (+)-DB[a,l]P-11-Gluc and (-)-DB[a,l]P-11-Gluc products, while UGTs 1A1 and 1A10 were the most efficient at forming the (+)-DB[a,l]P-12-Gluc product (as determined by k(cat)/K(M)). Incubations with human liver microsomes showed the formation of three diastereomeric glucuronide products: (+)-DB[a,l]P-11-Gluc, (+)-DB[a,l]P-12-Gluc, and (-)-DB[a,l]P-11-Gluc, with an average overall ratio of 31:32:37 in four liver specimens. Human bronchus and trachea tissue homogenates demonstrated glucuronidation activity against both DB[a,l]P-trans-11,12-diol enantiomers, with both tissues producing the (+)-DB[a,l]P-11-Gluc and (+)-DB[a,l]P-12-Gluc with little or no formation of (-)-DB[a,l]P-11-Gluc. These results indicate that multiple UGTs are involved in the stereospecific glucuronidation of DB[a,l]P-trans-11,12-diol in a pattern consistent with their expression in respiratory tract tissues and that glucuronidation may be an important first-line detoxification mechanism of DB[a,l]P metabolites.
