Gene expression profiles in CYP2C19-deficient human iPS cell-derived hepatocyte-like cells

ABSTRACT: Cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily C member 19 (CYP2C19), in liver, plays important roles in terms of drug metabolism. It is known that CYP2C19 poor metabolizers (PMs) lack CYP2C19 metabolic capacity. Thus, unexpected drug-induced liver injury or decrease of drug efficacy would be caused in CYP2C19 substrate-treated CYP2C19 PMs. However, it is difficult to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of drugs and candidate compounds for CYP2C19 PMs because there is currently no model for this phenotype. Here, using human iPS cells and our highly efficient genome editing and hepatocyte differentiation technologies, we generated CYP2C19-knockout human iPS cell-derived hepatocyte-like cells (CYP2C19-KO HLCs) as a novel CYP2C19 PM model for drug development and research. The gene expression levels of hepatocyte markers were similar between WT HLCs and CYP2C19-KO HLCs, suggesting that CYP2C19 deficiency did not affect the hepatic differentiation potency. We also examined CYP2C19 metabolic activity by measuring S-mephenytoin metabolites using LC-MS. The CYP2C19 metabolic activity was almost eliminated by CYP2C19 knockout. Additionally, we evaluated whether clopidogrel (CYP2C19 substrate)-induced liver toxicity could be predicted using our model. Unexpectedly, there was no significant difference in cell viability between clopidogrel-treated WT HLCs and CYP2C19-KO HLCs. However, the cell viability in clopidogrel- and ketoconazole (CYP3A4 inhibitor)-treated CYP2C19-KO HLCs was significantly enhanced as compared with that in clopidogrel- and DMSO-treated CYP2C19-KO HLCs. This result suggests that CYP2C19-KO HLCs can predict the clopidogrel-induced liver toxicity. We succeeded in generating CYP2C19 PM model cells using human iPS cells and genome editing technologies for pharmaceutical research.

Project description:In drug development, a system for predicting drug metabolism and drug-induced toxicity is necessary to ensure drug safety. Cytochrome P450 family 3 subfamily A member 4 (CYP3A4) is an important drug-metabolizing enzyme expressed in the liver and small intestine, and predicting CYP3A4-mediated drug metabolism and drug-induced toxicity is essential. We previously developed procedures to differentiate human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells into hepatocyte-like cells (HLCs) or intestinal epithelial-like cells (IECs) with a fetal phenotype as well as a highly efficient genome editing technology that could enhance the homologous recombination efficiency at any locus, including CYP3A4. By using human iPS cells and our genome editing technology, we generated CYP3A4-knockout (KO) iPS cell-derived HLCs and IECs for the evaluation of CYP3A4-mediated drug metabolism and drug-induced toxicity. CYP3A4 deficiency did not affect pluripotency and hepatic and intestinal differentiation capacities, and CYP3A4 activity was entirely eradicated by CYP3A4 KO. Off-target effects (e.g., inhibition of bile acid excretion) were hardly observed in CYP3A4-KO cells but were observed in CYP3A4 inhibitor-treated (e.g., ketoconazole) cells. To evaluate whether drug-induced hepatotoxicity and enterotoxicity could be predicted using our model, we exposed CYP3A4-KO HLCs and IECs to acetaminophen, amiodarone, desipramine, leflunomide, tacrine, and tolcapone and confirmed that these cells could predict CYP3A4-mediated toxicity. Finally, we examined whether the therapeutic effects of an anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) drug metabolized by CYP3A4 would be predicted using our model. CYP3A4-KO HLCs were treated with asunaprevir (antiviral drug metabolized by CYP3A4) after HCV infection, and the anti-viral effect was indeed strengthened by CYP3A4 KO. Conclusion: We succeeded in generating a novel evaluation system for prediction of CYP3A4-mediated drug metabolism and drug-induced toxicity.
