Induction • Increased transcription • Increased protein synthesis • Enhanced stability of protein • Synthesis of enzyme with higher catalytic activity Inducible forms of CYP: CYP1A1 (PAH), CYP2B, CYP3A4 (PB), CYP2E1 (EtOH) Constitutive: CYP2A http://medicine.iupui.edu/flockhart/table.htm
Example: AhR, receptor in cytoplasm, binds ligand: eg PAHs, TCDD, some PCBs Bound AhR loses 2 heat-shock proteins (hsp90), becomes phosphorylated Activated bound AhR migrates to nucleus, forms complex with Ah receptor nuclear translocation factor Arnt AhR-Arnt complex binds to regulatory sequences in DNA (DRE, dioxin-responsive elements) Transcription of CYP1A1 gene and other genes Ah-locus mediated induction
Other “inducers” also interact with receptors • CAR, responds to phenobarbital-type inducers, regulates CYP2B, CYP3A4, CYP reductase, transferases (?) • PXR, CYP3A • PPARα, CYP4A • LXR, FXR control enzymes involved in bile acid and lipid metabolism
Phase II: Conjugation • Synthetic reaction of a xenobiotic (or of a Phase I metabolite of a xenobiotic) with an endogenous substance • Results in introduction of polar, ionizable groups to enhance water solubility and hence excretion
Major Phase II reactions • Glucuronidation • Sulfation • Conjugation with amino acids • Conjugation with glutathione • Methylation • Acetylation
Glucuronidation • Enzyme: glucuronyl transferase, or glucuronosyl transferase • Targets: • hydroxyl groups: Phenols, Alcohols, Dihydrodiols (ether glucuronides) • Carboxylic acids (ester glucuronides) • Amines (N-glucuronides) • Thiols (S-glucuronides) • Carbon (C-glucuronides, rare)
Reaction Phenol Phenyl glucuronide
Glucuronidation • Conjugating moiety: glucuronic acid, a sugar • Co-factor: UDP-glucuronic acid (UDPGA), derived from glycogen synthesis • Located in endoplasmic reticulum • Multiple families of isoforms:UGT1, UGT2 • UGT1.1 ..1.7, UGT2.1..2.4 • Inducible
GlucuronidationTypical substrates: • Phenol • 1-Naphthol • 4-Hydroxybiphenyl • 3-Hydroxybenzo[a]pyrene • Benzo[a]pyrene-7,8-dihydrodiol • 2-Naphthylamine • Bilirubin • Steroids
