Inhibitory effects of fifteen phthalate esters in human cDNA-expressed UDP-glucuronosyltransferase supersomes.

ABSTRACT: Phthalate esters (PAEs) have been extensively used in industry as plasticizers and there remains concerns about their safety. The present study aimed to determine the inhibition of phthalate esters (PAEs) on the activity of the phase II drug-metabolizing enzymes UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs). In vitro recombinant UGTs-catalyzed glucuronidation of 4-methylumbelliferone was used to investigate the inhibition potentials of PAEs towards various s UGTs. PAEs exhibited no significant inhibition of UGT1A1, UGT1A3, UGT1A8, UGT1A10, UGT2B15, and UGT2B17, and limited inhibition of UGT1A6, UGT1A7 and UGT2B4. However, UGT1A9 was strongly inhibited by PAEs. In silico docking demonstrated a significant contribution of hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions contributing to the inhibition of UGT by PAEs. The Ki values were 15.5, 52.3, 23.6, 12.2, 5.61, 2.79, 1.07, 22.8, 0.84, 73.7, 4.51, 1.74, 0.58, 6.79, 4.93, 6.73, and 7.23 ?M for BBOP-UGT1A6, BBZP-UGT1A6, BBOP-UGT1A7, BBZP-UGT1A7, DiPP-UGT1A9, DiBP-UGT1A9, DCHP-UGT1A9, DBP-UGT1A9, BBZP-UGT1A9, BBOP-UGT1A9, DMEP-UGT1A9, DPP-UGT1A9, DHP-UGT1A9, DiBP-UGT2B4, DBP-UGT2B4, DAP-UGT2B4, and BBZP-UGT2B4, respectively. In conclusion, exposure to PAEs might influence the metabolic elimination of endogenous compounds and xenobiotics through inhibiting UGTs.

Project description:BackgroundPolymorphism of genes encoding drug-metabolizing enzymes is known to play an important role in increased susceptibility of colorectal cancer. UGT1A gene locus has been suggested to define tissue-specific glucuronidation activity. Reduced capacity of glucuronidation is correlated with the development of colorectal cancer. Therefore, we sought to explore polymorphism of UGTlA gene in human colorectal cancer.MethodsCancerous and healthy tissues were obtained from selectedpatients. Blood samples were collected and UGTlA mRNA transcriptions were analyzed. Genomic DNA was prepared and UGTlA8 exon-1 sequences were amplified, visualized and purified. The extracted DNA was subcloned and sequenced. Two-tailed Fisher's exact test, Odds ratios (ORs), confidence interval (CIs) and Logistics Regression Analysis were used for statistical analysis.ResultsUGTlA mRNA expression was reduced in cancerous tissues compared with healthy tissues from the same patient . The UGTlA mRNA expression of healthy tissue in study patients was lower than control . The mRNA expression of cancerous tissue was down-regulated in UGTlAl, 1A3, 1A4, lA6, 1A9 and up-regulated in UGTlA8 and UGTlAl0 UGT1A5 and UGT1A7 were not expressed in colonic tissue of either group. The allele frequency of WT UGTlA8*1 was higher (p?=?0.000), frequency of UGTlA8*3 was lowered in control group (p?=?0.000). The expression of homozygous UGTlA8*1 was higher in control group (p?=?0.000). Higher frequency of both heterozygous UGTlA8*1/*3 and UGTlA8*2/*3 were found in study group (p?=?0.000; p?=?0.000). The occurrence of colorectal cancer was mainly related to the presence of polymorphic UGTlA8*3 alleles (p?=?0.000).ConclusionRegulation of human UGT1A genes is tissue-specific. Individual variation in polymorphic expressions of UGTlA gene locus was noted in all types of colonic tissue tested, whereas hepatic tissue expression was uniform. The high incidence of UGTlA8 polymorphism exists in colorectal cancer patients. UGTlA8*1 allele is a protective factor and UGTlA8*3 allele is a risk factor.
