Characteristics of cytochrome P450-dependent metabolism in the liver of the wild raccoon,Procyon lotor

Wildlife is exposed to a wide range of xenobiotics in the natural environment. In order to appropriately assess xenobiotic-induced toxicity in wildlife, it is necessary to understand metabolic capacities. Carnivores, in general, have low metabolic abilities, making them vulnerable to a variety of chemicals. Raccoons (Procyon lotor) in the wild have been found to have high levels of xenobiotics. However, little is known about the metabolic capacity of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes in this species. Thus, this study used liver samples to investigate the characteristics of CYP enzymes in wild raccoons. In 22 wild raccoons, CYP concentrations in hepatic microsomes were examined. To better understand the properties of CYP-dependent metabolism, in vitro metabolic activity studies were performed using ethoxyresorufin, pentoxyresorufin and testosterone as substrates. In addition, three raccoons were fed commercial dog food in the laboratory for one week, and the effects on CYP-dependent metabolism were investigated. In comparison to other mammalian species, raccoons had very low concentrations of CYP in their livers. In an in vitro enzymatic analysis, raccoons’ ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) and pentoxyresorufin O-depentylase (PROD) metabolic capacities were less than one-fifth and one-tenth of rats’, respectively. These results indicate the possible high risk in raccoons if exposed to high levels of environmental xenobiotics because of their poor CYP activity. In this study, the features of CYP-dependent metabolism in wild raccoons are described for the first time.     

Effects of forage type,body condition and single‐nucleotide polymorphisms in the bovine cytochrome P450 regulatory region on cow productivity*

Single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the coding sequence of cytochrome p450 (CYP3A28) have been associated with milk yield and composition, and calving traits in cows. In this study, we aimed to determine whether (i) the CYP3A28 regulatory region was polymorphic and (ii) SNP genotype, forage type, body condition and their interactions affect cow productivity. Primers for CYP3A28 promoter were designed to amplify a 483‐bp segment by PCR. Amplicon sequences revealed seven SNP (T‐318C, T‐113A, C‐189T, T‐78G, A6G, G17A and T21C) in Brahman (38 cows), Brahman x Angus reciprocal crosses (47 cows) and crossbreds (98 cows). Angus cows (n = 41) appeared to be fixed at those SNP locations. Genotype and forage {endophyte‐infected tall fescue [KY+; Lolium arundinaceum (Schreb.) S. J. Darbyshire] vs. bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.]} effects on lifetime (8‐years) calving rate, and calf weaning weights and heights were determined in Herd 1 (126 cows); genotype and BC (low vs. moderate) effects on calving date and calving percent were determined in Herd 2 (98 cows). Four SNP (T‐318C, T‐113A, A06G and T21C) appeared to be related to cattle productivity, CC cows at T‐318C having a lower (p < 0.05) lifetime calving rate than TC or TT cows (65%, 85% and 81% respectively). Cows that grazed KY+ and were TT at T‐318C produced calves that tended (p < 0.07) to weigh less than their contemporaries. Moreover, calves of TT cows were shorter (p < 0.05) at weaning than calves of CC or TC cows. In Herd 2, moderate‐BC cows that were TT or AA at T‐318C, T‐113A, T‐78G, A6G and T21C had greater (p < 0.05) calving rates (74–80%) than heterozygous cows (46–60%), and low‐BC cows that were AA at G17A calved at least 6 days earlier (p < 0.05) than heterozygous cows. Our findings suggest that SNP in the CYP3A28 regulatory region of Brahman‐influenced cows are associated with cattle productivity.     

Effects of bovine cytochrome P450 single-nucleotide polymorphism, forage type and body condition on production traits in cattle

Relating single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) to cows with acceptable productivity could benefit cattle breeders in areas where tall fescue is the predominant forage. This study aimed to (i) identify SNPs in bovine cytochrome P450 3A28 (CYP3A28) and (ii) determine the associations between SNP genotype, forage and cow body condition (BC). Genotype (CC, CG or GG) and forage [Kentucky-31 wild-type endophyte-infected tall fescue (KY+) vs. bermudagrass] effects on milk volume and quality were determined in Herd 1 cows (123 cows); in Herd 2 (99 cows), genotype and BC (low vs. moderate) effects on ovarian follicle size, calving date and calving per cent were determined; and in Herd 3 (114 cows), effects of genotype and fescue cultivar [KY+ vs. non-toxic endophyte-infected tall fescue (HiMag4)] were related to calving per cent, calving date and weaning weights of both cow and her calf. A cytosine (C) to guanine (G) transversion at base 994 (C994G) in CYP3A28 was identified. There was a genotype × forage type interaction (p < 0.05) on milk protein in Herd 1 cows; CC cows grazing bermudagrass had greater milk protein percentage in relation to other cows in the herd. In Herd 2, BC and genotype × BC tended (p < 0.10) to influence follicle size and Julian calving date respectively. Diameter of the largest follicle tended to be larger in moderate BC than in low-BC cows; whereas, CC and CG cows in moderate BC and homozygous (CC and GG) cows in low BC tended to calve 14 days earlier in relation to CG cows in low BC. In Herd 3, there was a genotype × forage type interaction (p < 0.05) on calving per cent, Julian calving date and calf weaning weight. In this study, genetic alterations (G allele at C994G) coupled with nutritional factors (low BC and toxic tall fescue) resulted in overall lower productivity in cows.     

Effect of cytochrome P450 inhibition on toxicity of diclofenac in chickens: Unravelling toxicity in Gyps vultures

Diclofenac was responsible for the decimation of Gyps vulture species on the Indian subcontinent during the 1980s and 1990s. Gyps vultures are extremely sensitive (the lethal dose 50 [LD_50] ~ 0.1 mg/kg – 0.2 mg/kg), with toxicity appearing to be linked to metabolic deficiency, demonstrated by the long T_1/2 (~12 h – 17 h). This is in striking comparison to the domestic chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus), in which the LD₅₀ is ~10 mg/kg and the T_1/2 is ~1 h. The phase 1 cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C subfamily has been cited as a possible reason for metabolic deficiency. The aim of this study was to determine if CYP2C9 homolog pharmacogenomic differences amongst avian species is driving diclofenac toxicity in Gyps vultures. We exposed each of 10 CYP-inhibited test group chickens to a unique dose of diclofenac (as per the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development [OECD] toxicity testing guidelines) and compared the toxicity and pharmacokinetic results to control group birds that received no CYP inhibitor. Although no differences were noted in the LD₅₀ values for each group (11.92 mg/kg in the CYP-inhibited test group and 11.58 mg/kg in the control group), the pharmacokinetic profile of the test group was suggestive of partial inhibition of CYP metabolism. Evaluation of the metabolite peaks produced also suggested partial metabolic inhibition in test group birds, as they produced lower amounts of metabolites for one of the three peaks demonstrated and had higher diclofenac exposure. This pilot study supports the hypothesis that CYP metabolism is varied amongst bird species and may explain the higher resilience to diclofenac in the chicken versus vultures.     

Research Progress on Cytochrome P450 2E1

Cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) is one of the body's metabolite of drugs and low molecular weight compounds mainly enzymes, and the increasing of activity or expression of CYP2E1 is closely related with the clinical variety of diseases. This paper reviews the research progress of protein structure, function, positioning mechanism and other aspects of genetic polymorphisms of CYP2E1 at home and abroad. Thereby the paper could lay the foundation for further exploration of the biological effects of CYP2E1 and its relationship with clinical disease.     

Identification and Analysis of CYP7A1, CYP17A1, CYP20A1, CYP27A1 and CYP51A1 in Cynomolgus Macaques

Cytochromes P450 (P450) are important for not only drug metabolism and toxicity, but also biosynthesis and metabolism of cholesterol and bile acids, and steroid synthesis. In cynomolgus macaques, widely used in biomedical research, we have characterized P450 cDNAs, which were isolated as expressed sequence tags of cynomolgus macaque liver. In this study, cynomolgus CYP7A1, CYP17A1, CYP20A1, CYP27A1 and CYP51A1 cDNAs were characterized by sequence analysis, phylogenetic analysis and tissue expression pattern. By sequence analysis, these five cynomolgus P450s had high sequence identities (94–99%) to the human orthologs in amino acids. By phylogenetic analysis, each cynomolgus P450 was more closely related to the human ortholog as compared with the dog or rat ortholog. By quantitative polymerase chain reaction, among the 10 tissue types, CYP7A1 and CYP17A1 mRNAs were preferentially expressed in liver and adrenal gland, respectively. Cynomolgus CYP27A1 and CYP51A1 mRNAs were most abundantly expressed in liver and testis, respectively. Cynomolgus CYP20A1 mRNA was expressed in all the tissues, including brain and liver. Tissue expression patterns of each cynomolgus P450 were generally similar to that of the human ortholog. These results suggest the molecular similarities of CYP7A1, CYP17A1, CYP20A1, CYP27A1 and CYP51A1 between cynomolgus macaques and humans.     

The effects of albendazole and its metabolites on hepatic cytochromes P450 activities in mouflon and rat

Albendazole (ABZ) is a benzimidazole anthelmintic widely used in veterinary medicine. The effects of ABZ on cytochromes P450 were investigated in primary cultures of mouflon (Ovis musimon) and rat (Rattus norvegicus) hepatocytes. Besides ABZ, its two main metabolites (albendazole-sulphoxide, ABZSO and albendazole-sulphone, ABZSOO) were tested to clarify which compound is responsible for the induction potency of this benzimidazole drug. After 48 h incubation of hepatocytes with benzimidazoles (0.2-25 microM), ethoxyresorufin O-deethylation (EROD) and benzoxyresorufin O-dearylation (BROD) were measured and the P4501A and 3A protein levels were determined by Western blotting. All benzimidazoles provoked a significant increase of EROD and BROD activities in rat hepatocytes. ABZSO and ABZSOO seemed to be responsible for the induction effect of ABZ on P450s in rat. In mouflon, no pharmacologically significant induction of EROD and BROD activities by benzimidazoles tested was observed. From this point of view, anthelmintic therapy of mouflons with ABZ seems to be safe.     

Sex difference feeding behaviour of NOD SCID mice in a pharmacological model of type 1 diabetes

This study aimed to assess the sex differences in the feeding behaviour of non-obese diabetic severe combined immunodeficient (NOD SCID) mice in a pharmacological model of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1Dm). In our study, we chose NOD SCID mice of both sexes and assessed their feeding behaviour, body weight, body fat and water content under identical experimental conditions and diets. After 1 month of diabetes mellitus in mice in the experimental group, males and females did not show any increase in body weight, and they weighed significantly less than the control group. However, compared with the control group, in females with a background of T1Dm, there was a significant decrease in body fat. The amount of water consumed in the experimental groups was higher than that in the control groups. The amount of food consumed by males increased when they increased their water consumption, whereas food consumption in females decreased significantly with an increase in water consumption. Thus, we discovered sex differences in the feeding behaviour, body weight and body fat and water content in the pharmacological model of T1Dm after 1 month in NOD SCID mice.     

大豆黄酮对伊莎鸡卵泡发育及其P450arom基因表达的影响

实验探讨了大豆黄酮(DAI)对伊莎鸡卵泡发育及其芳香化酶(P450arom)mRNA表达的影响。实验选取16只产蛋后期伊莎鸡,等分为对照组和DAI处理组。对照组饲喂基础日粮,实验组在基础日粮中添加10 mg/kgDAI。实验持续7周后,分离排卵前卵泡(F1、F2、F3……)的颗粒层及小黄卵泡和大白卵泡,通过RT-PCR法检测P450arom mRNA表达的相对丰度。结果表明:DAI明显提高了伊莎鸡小黄卵泡和大白卵泡的数量,P450arommRNA在伊莎鸡不同发育阶段卵泡中的表达存在差异,部分卵泡P450arom mRNA表达的相对丰度显著增加。因此,在产蛋后期伊莎鸡基础日粮中添加DAI可增加不同发育阶段卵泡的数目,上调部分卵泡中与发育相关的基因表达以促进卵泡发育。     

细胞色素P450通路中GSTAL2基因在蛋鸡脾脏及MSB-1细胞中的继代表达传递现象

为探究细胞色素P450(Cytochrome P450,CYP450)通路中GSTAL2、GSTA3、HPGDS、HSD11B1a基因表达量在禽类重要免疫器官脾脏和马立克氏病肿瘤细胞系(MSB-1)的继代传递效应。研究利用病毒模拟物聚肌胞苷酸(Poly I∶C)和细菌模拟物脂多糖(LPS)分别刺激F0代蛋鸡和P0代MSB-1细胞,通过实时荧光定量PCR技术检测上述基因在F0与F1代蛋鸡脾脏及P0与P1代MSB-1细胞中的表达变化情况。结果显示:F(0P0)代、F(1P1)代Poly I∶C组脾脏、MSB-1细胞中的GSTAL2相对表达量均显著高于对照组(P<0.05),其表达趋势可在两代间传递,而GSTA3、HPGDS、HSD11B1a在F(0P0)代的相对表达趋势不能显著性传递至F(1P1)代。结果提示,在Poly I∶C刺激下,GSTAL2基因可能充当着机体对外源性物质代谢的重要角色,同时该基因表达趋势的传递现象也将为今后相关研究的开展奠定理论基础。

Development of a genotyping tool for a functionally relevant CYP2C19 allele (Phe100Asn,Ala103Val and Ile112Leu) in cynomolgus macaques

In cynomolgus macaques, which are widely used in drug metabolism studies, CYP2C19(formerly known as CYP2C75) is abundantly expressed in liver, metabolizes human CYP2Csubstrates and is thus an important drug-metabolizing enzyme. One of the cynomolgusCYP2C19 alleles (p.Phe100Asn, p.Ala103Val and p.Ile112Leu) results insubstantially reduced metabolic activity and thus is an important allele in drugmetabolism studies. For this allele, a genotyping tool was developed using allele-specificTaqMan probe. Genotyping 40 Cambodian cynomolgus macaques using this tool found 1homozygote, 17 heterozygotes and 22 wild type animals, and the result was confirmed bydirect-sequencing. Interestingly, this allele frequency was similar to that of Chinesecynomolgus macaques. The genotyping tool established is useful for drug metabolism studiesusing cynomolgus macaques.
