Genetic analysis of the phenobarbital regulation of the cytochrome P-450 2b-9 and aldehyde dehydrogenase type 2 mRNAs in mouse liver.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the genetic background on the phenobarbital inducibility of cytochrome P-450 2b-9, cytochrome P-450 2b-10 and aldehyde dehydrogenase type 2 mRNAs in mice. We analysed the basal expression and the phenobarbital inducibility of both cytochrome P-450 mRNAs by semi-quantitative specific reverse transcription-PCR analyses in five inbred mouse strains (A/J,BALB/cByJ,C57BL/6J, DBA/2J and SWR/J). Male mice constitutively expressed cytochrome P-450 2b-9 and cytochrome P-450 2b-10 mRNAs, but a number of differences in their response to phenobarbital were observed. In all these mouse strains, phenobarbital induced cytochrome P-450 2b-10 mRNA whereas it could have either a positive or a negative effect on cytochrome P-450 2b-9 expression, depending on the strain and the sex of the mice. Specifically, phenobarbital increased cytochrome P-450 2b-9 expression in C57BL/6J males while it decreased it in DBA/2J mice. Interestingly, dexamethasone was able to mimic the phenobarbital effect on both cytochromes P-450 in these two strains. Aldehyde dehydrogenase type 2 mRNA was always induced by phenobarbital, except in the C57BL/6J strain. Genetic analysis revealed that the phenobarbital-inducible phenotype was either a semi-dominant or a recessive trait in F1 animals from a C57BL/6J x DBA/2J cross for the cytochrome P-450 2b-9 and the aldehyde dehydrogenase type 2 genes, respectively. This study suggests that the genetic basis for phenobarbital induction in mice depends on the target gene, and that more than one regulatory step would by involved in this response pathway.

Regulation of the mouse liver cytochrome P450 2B subfamily by sex hormones and phenobarbital.

Project description:The sex-dependent expression and inducibility of the cytochrome P450 2B subfamily was studied in DBA/2 and Balb/c mice, and their F1 recombinants, at the mRNA, protein and activity levels. Analysis of poly(A)+ RNA with specific oligonucleotide probes directed to known mRNAs within the mouse 2B subfamily revealed that the levels of P450 2b-10 and 2b-9 mRNAs were co-regulated with two proteins (56 and 53 kDa) detected by a 2B-specific polyclonal antibody. Other mRNAs related to the 2B subfamily were barely or not at all detectable, and did not coincide with protein expression, suggesting that P450s 2b-9 and 2b-10 are the major 2B isoenzymes present in mouse liver. Specifically, castration of males increased the expression of 2b-9 and 2b-10 mRNAs and protein up to female levels, and testosterone administration to castrated mice reversed these changes. Ovariectomy of females appears to increase the expression of these P450s slightly. 2b-10, but not 2b-9, mRNA and protein were induced by phenobarbital. Based on immunoinhibition studies and the levels of these isoenzymes, P4502b-10 appears to be the major catalyst of 7-pentoxyresorufin O-dealkylation. Both P4502b-9 and P4502b-10 contribute up to 30% of the testosterone 16 alpha-hydroxylation, the balance being catalysed by P450s within the 2D subfamily. These experiments show that the female-predominant expression of the two mouse liver isoenzymes P4502b-9 and P4502b-10 is dependent on sex hormones. The fact that P4502b-9 does not respond to phenobarbital, while P4502b-10 is regulated by both phenobarbital and sex hormones, demonstrates the complexity of P450 expression even within one subfamily.

Tolerance to nitroglycerin through proteasomal down-regulation of aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 in a genetic mouse model of ascorbate deficiency.

Project description:Background and purposeL-gulonolactone oxidase-deficient (Gulo((-/-))) mice were used to study the effects of ascorbate deficiency on aortic relaxation by nitroglycerin (GTN) with focus on changes in the expression and activity of vascular aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 (ALDH2), which catalyses GTN bioactivation.Experimental approachAscorbate deficiency was induced in Gulo((-/-)) mice by ascorbate deprivation for 4 weeks. Some of the animals were concomitantly treated with the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib and effects compared with ascorbate-supplemented Gulo((-/-)), untreated or nitrate-tolerant wild-type mice. Aortic relaxation of the experimental groups to GTN, ACh and a NO donor was studied. Changes in mRNA and protein expression of vascular ALDH2 were quantified by qPCR and immunoblotting, respectively, and aortic GTN denitration rates determined.Key resultsLike GTN treatment, ascorbate deprivation induced vascular tolerance to GTN that was associated with markedly decreased rates of GTN denitration. Ascorbate deficiency did not affect ALDH2 mRNA levels, but reduced ALDH2 protein expression and the total amount of ubiquitinated proteins to about 40% of wild-type controls. These effects were largely prevented by ascorbate supplementation or treating Gulo((-/-)) mice with the 26S proteasome inhibitor bortezomib.Conclusions and implicationsOur data indicate that ascorbate deficiency results in vascular tolerance to GTN via proteasomal degradation of ALDH2. The results support the view that impaired ALDH2-catalysed metabolism of GTN contributes significantly to the development of vascular nitrate tolerance and reveal a hitherto unrecognized protective effect of ascorbate in the vasculature.

Testosterone-mediated regulation of mouse renal cytochrome P-450 isoenzymes.

Project description:We have studied the extent to which mouse renal cytochrome P-450 isoenzymes are sexually differentiated, and the factor(s) regulating this dimorphism. Intriguingly, sex differences were not seen in the expression of a single cytochrome P-450 enzyme, but were observed in the expression of all P-450 isoenzymes detectable, encoded by six gene families or sub-families. This effect was mediated by testosterone, which had the capacity to both induce and repress P-450 gene expression, and which was independent of growth hormone. The changes in protein content were mirrored in all but one case by changes in the levels of mRNA, indicating that these genes contain hormone-responsive elements. These findings are consistent with numerous reports of sex differences in the susceptibility of the mouse kidney to the toxic and carcinogenic effects of drugs and environmental chemicals, many of which are metabolized to cytotoxic products by the cytochrome P-450-dependent mono-oxygenases. These data imply that circulating androgen levels will be an important factor in susceptibility of the kidney to toxic or carcinogenic compounds which require metabolic activation.

Effect of pyrazole, cobalt and phenobarbital on mouse liver cytochrome P-450 2a-4/5 (Cyp2a-4/5) expression.

Project description:Pyrazole, cobalt and phenobarbital increase the activity of coumarin 7-hydroxylase (COH) in mouse liver. To study the mechanism of this increase, we measured the expression of the cytochrome P-450 2a-4/5 (Cyp2a-4/5) complex, which mediates testosterone 15 alpha-hydroxylase and COH activities, as a function of dose and time after the treatment of C57BL/6 (B6) and DBA/2 (D2) male mice with the inducers. COH activity and Cyp2a-4/5 steady-state mRNA levels were increased in both strains in response to the inducers. No marked effect occurred with testosterone 15 alpha-hydroxylase or activities associated with Cyp1a-1 or Cyp2e-1. A 2-7-fold increase in response to the inducers was seen in the amount of P-450Coh (cytochrome P-450 isoenzyme catalysing coumarin 7-hydroxylation) protein in Western immunoblots. PCR amplification of a 1 kb region in Cyp2a-4/5-mRNA-derived cDNA, followed by cutting at the diagnostic PstI site, showed that most of the steady-state mRNA consisted of Cyp2a-5, which is also the form most affected by pyrazole. Nuclear run-off analysis revealed no increase in the transcription rate of Cyp2a-4/5 after pyrazole or cobalt treatment, whereas a 2-3-fold increase occurred after phenobarbital pretreatment in B6 mice. Together with previous reports [Aida & Negishi (1991) Biochemistry 30, 8041-8045], the current data suggest that both pyrazole and cobalt increase COH catalytic activity by affecting Cyp2a-5 by post-transcriptional mechanisms in mice.

Activator protein-1 regulation of murine aldehyde dehydrogenase 1a1.

Project description:Previously we demonstrated that aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) 1a1 is the major ALDH expressed in mouse liver and is an effective catalyst in metabolism of lipid aldehydes. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis revealed a ?2.5- to 3-fold induction of the hepatic ALDH1A1 mRNA in mice administered either acrolein (5 mg/kg acrolein p.o.) or butylated hydroxylanisole (BHA) (0.45% in the diet) and of cytosolic NAD?-dependent ALDH activity. We observed ?2-fold increases in ALDH1A1 mRNA levels in both Nrf2?/? and Nrf2?/? mice treated with BHA compared with controls, suggesting that BHA-induced expression is independent of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2). The levels of activator protein-1 (AP-1) mRNA and protein, as well as the amount of phosphorylated c-Jun were significantly increased in mouse liver or Hepa1c1c7 cells treated with either BHA or acrolein. With use of luciferase reporters containing the 5'-flanking sequence of Aldh1a1 (-1963/+27), overexpression of c-Jun resulted in an ?4-fold induction in luciferase activity, suggesting that c-Jun transactivates the Aldh1a1 promoter as a homodimer and not as a c-Jun/c-Fos heterodimer. Promoter deletion and mutagenesis analyses demonstrated that the AP-1 site at position -758 and possibly -1069 relative to the transcription start site was responsible for c-Jun-mediated transactivation. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay analysis with antibodies against c-Jun and c-Fos showed that c-Jun binds to the proximal AP-1 site at position -758 but not at -1069. Recruitment of c-Jun to this proximal AP-1 site by BHA was confirmed by chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis, indicating that recruitment of c-Jun to the mouse Aldh1a1 gene promoter results in increased transcription. This mode of regulation of an ALDH has not been described before.

Role of aldehyde dehydrogenase on the metabolic regulation in Clostridium ljungdahlii fermentation

Project description:Clostridium ljungdahlii not only utilizes CO, but also H2 as energy source during autotrophic growth. And C. ljungdahlii also grows in fructose fermentation. In theory, fructose is a more energetically favourable energy source than syngas in the fermentation of C. ljungdahlii. However, C. ljungdahlii grows insufficiently in fructose and produces less acetate and ethanol, compared to syngas fermentation. In this study, C. ljungdahlii wild type and mutants were fermented on fructose. C. ljungdahlii produced less ethanol than the ΔadhE1 mutant and consumed less fructose. The ΔadhE1+2 mutant cannot grow in the syngas fermentation and produced less ethanol among the three strains. The results showed that aldehyde dehydrogenase inactivation led to efficient metabolism in C. ljungdahlii and the bifunctional aldehyde/alcohol dehydrogenases inactivation led to decrease metabolism. Thus, comparative transcriptomes among cells grown on fructose of three strains were performed to investigate gene expression profiles based on three biological replicates.

Induction and repression of the major phenobarbital-induced cytochrome P-450 measured by radioimmunoassay.

Project description:Two independent radioimmunoassay techniques for the major phenobarbital-inducible cytochrome P-450 (PB P-450) of rat liver microsomal membranes are described. The first technique employs as the source of radiolabelled antigen the products of translation in vitro labelled with [35S]methionine. The second technique employs purified antigen labelled with 125I and is quicker, less expensive and more precise. Both assays are highly specific for PB P-450 and can detect quantities of this variant as small as 1 ng. This is several orders of magnitude more sensitive than any method described previously for the quantification of cytochromes P-450, and consequently the technique is particularly well suited for the quantification of so-called constitutive cytochrome P-450 variants that are present in very low amounts. The results of the radioimmunoassays demonstrate that the apparent 2.6-fold induction of total cytochromes P-450 after phenobarbital treatment is due to a 43-fold increase in Pb P-450. Although beta-naphthoflavone increases the total content of cytochrome P-450 of microsomal membranes 1.4-fold, it actually causes a 55% decrease in the amount of PB P-450. Thus different xenobiotics can have differential effects on the expression of the genes for specific cytochrome P-450 variants.

Characterization of a phenobarbital-inducible cytochrome P-450, NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase and reconstituted cytochrome P-450 mono-oxygenase system from rat brain. Evidence for constitutive presence in rat and human brain.

Project description:Cytochrome P-450 was purified to apparent homogeneity from the brain microsomes of phenobarbital-treated rats. The specific content of the purified P-450 was 12.7 nmol/mg of protein. NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase (reductase) was also purified to apparent homogeneity from brain microsomes. The specific content was 34.7 mumol of cytochrome c reduced/min per mg of protein. The reduced carbon monoxide spectrum of purified P-450 exhibited a peak at 450 nm. Both the P-450 and the reductase moved as single bands on SDS/PAGE. The molecular masses of the purified P-450 and the reductase were determined to be 53.3 and 72.0 kDa respectively. The purified brain P-450 cross-reacted with antibodies to rat liver P-450IIB1/IIB2 when examined by Western immunoblotting, but no immunological similarity was observed with rat liver P-450IA1/IA2 or P-450IIE1. Purified rat brain reductase cross-reacted with antibodies to rat liver reductase. Further, immunoblot experiments with untreated rat and human brain microsomes using antisera to the purified rat brain P-450 and reductase indicated that these forms of P-450 and NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase exist constitutively in rat and human brain. Purified rat brain P-450 was reconstituted with purified NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase, deoxycholate and dilauroyl glyceryl 3-phosphocholine. NADPH-dependent N-demethylation of aminopyrine and morphine was observed in the reconstituted system. The catalytic-centre activities were 80.25 and 38.2 nmol of formaldehyde formed/min per nmol of P-450 respectively. The reconstituted system had a comparatively lower catalytic-centre activity for 7-ethoxycoumarin O-de-ethylase (10.5 nmol of product formed/min per nmol of P-450).

Regulation of phenobarbital-inducible cytochrome P-450s in rat and mouse liver following dexamethasone administration and hypophysectomy.

Project description:Cytochrome P-450s are a superfamily of haem-containing proteins involved in the metabolism of foreign compounds, as well as a variety of endogenous molecules. The hepatic levels and function of this diverse group of enzymes are determined by both constitutive and xenobiotic regulators. To examine the role of constitutive factors in cytochrome P-450 regulation, the levels of three distinct groups of phenobarbital-inducible hepatic cytochrome P-450s were studied following dexamethasone-treatment or hypophysectomy. In the mouse, dexamethasone was a potent inducer of proteins within the PB1 (subfamily IIC), PB2c (family III) and PB3 (subfamily IIB) families. These findings were strikingly different from the effects in the rat where essentially no effect on PB3 expression and indeed suppression of proteins related to PB1 was observed. Determination of mRNA concentration indicated that the difference was at the level of transcription. These findings indicate that synthetic glucocorticoids have the potential to be potent phenobarbital-like inducing agents. In the mouse hypophysectomy, like dexamethasone, induced hepatic mRNA of P-450 from families P-450IIB, P-450IIC and P-450III. Again a species difference was observed as this treatment had essentially no effect in the rat. These data in the mouse indicate that factors produced in the pituitary can either affect the transcription rate of phenobarbital and dexamethasone-inducible P-450 genes or influence the stability of their mRNAs.
