Abstract
Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have been used to discover genetic polymorphisms that affect cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Structural equation modelling (SEM) has been identified as a robust multivariate analysis tool. However, there is a paucity of research that has conducted SEM in African populations. The purpose of this study was to create a model that may be used to examine the relationships between genetic polymorphisms and their respective cardiovascular risk (CVR) factors. The procedure involved three steps. Firstly, the creation of latent variables and the hypothesis model. Next, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to examine the relationships between the latent variables, SNPs, dyslipidemia and metabolic syndrome, with their respective indicators. Then finally, model fitting using JASP statistical software v.0.16.4.0. The indicators for the SNPs and dyslipidemia all indicated significant factor loadings, -0.96 to 0.91 (p = <0.001) and 0.92 to 0.96 (p ≤ 0.001), respectively. The indicators for metabolic syndrome also had significant coefficients of 0.20 (p = 0.673), 0.36 (p = 0.645) and 0.15 (p = 0.576), but they were not statistically significant. There were no significant relationships observed between the SNPs, dyslipidemia and metabolic syndrome. The SEM produced an acceptable model according to the fit indices.

Research progress in human biological monitoring of aromatic hydrocarbon with emphasis on the analytical technology of biomarkers. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2023; 257:114917. [PMID: 37094484 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2023.114917] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2023] [Revised: 04/11/2023] [Accepted: 04/13/2023] [Indexed: 05/03/2023]
Abstract
Aromatic hydrocarbons are unsaturated compounds containing carbon and hydrogen that form single aromatic ring, or double, triple, or multiple fused rings. This review focuses on the research progress of aromatic hydrocarbons represented by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (including halogenated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons), benzene and its derivatives including toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes (o-, m- and p-), styrene, nitrobenzene, and aniline. Due to the toxicity, widespread coexistence, and persistence of aromatic hydrocarbons in the environment, accurate assessment of exposure to aromatic hydrocarbons is essential to protect human health. The effects of aromatic hydrocarbons on human health are mainly derived from three aspects: different routes of exposure, the duration and relative toxicity of aromatic hydrocarbons, and the concentration of aromatic hydrocarbons which should be below the biological exposure limit. Therefore, this review discusses the primary exposure routes, toxic effects on humans, and key populations, in particular. This review briefly summarizes the different biomarker indicators of main aromatic hydrocarbons in urine, since most aromatic hydrocarbon metabolites are excreted via urine, which is more feasible, convenient, and non-invasive. In this review, the pretreatment and analytical techniques are compiled systematically for the qualitative and quantitative assessments of aromatic hydrocarbons metabolites such as gas chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography with multiple detectors. This review aims to identify and monitor the co-exposure of aromatic hydrocarbons that provides a basis for the formulation of corresponding health risk control measures and guide the adjustment of the exposure dose of pollutants to the population.

OGG1 methylation mediated the effects of cell cycle and oxidative DNA damage related to PAHs exposure in Chinese coke oven workers. CHEMOSPHERE 2019; 224:48-57. [PMID: 30807913 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2019.02.114] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2018] [Revised: 02/14/2019] [Accepted: 02/17/2019] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
Previous publications have indicated that polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) exposures are associated with increased DNA damage and abnormal cell cycle arrest; however, the details of mechanisms remain largely unknown. This study aimed to quantify the associations of 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (OGG1) methylation with urinary PAHs metabolites, DNA damage and cell cycle arrest, and further to assess the role of OGG1 methylation in mediating the association of urinary PAHs metabolites with DNA damage and cell cycle arrest. Urinary biomarkers of PAHs exposure and a marker of oxidative DNA damage (8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosin, 8-OHdG) were measured by high performance liquid chromatography. Cell cycle of lymphocyte was analysed with flow cytometry and OGG1 methylation in venous blood was measured by pyrosequencing. After adjusting for covariates, urinary 1-OHP levels were positively associated with lymphocyte S phase arrest and oxidative DNA damage, while were negatively associated with G0/G1 phase arrest. OGG1 methylation was not only positively correlated with urinary 1-OHP in a dose-responsive manner (P trend = 0.008) but was also associated with G0/G1 phase arrest (OR: 0.63, 95% CI: 0.41-0.97), S phase arrest (OR: 1.55, 95% CI: 1.01-2.40) and oxidative DNA damage (OR: 1.71, 95% CI: 1.02-2.86). Mediation analysis estimated that OGG1 methylation mediated about 20% of associations between urinary 1-OHP levels and cell cycle arrest and oxidative DNA damage, respectively (all P < 0.05). Our findings suggested that urinary 1-OHP concentrations were associated with cell cycle arrest and oxidative DNA damage by a mechanism partly involving OGG1 methylation.

Abstract
Thorough investigation of the glycine conjugation pathway has been neglected. No defect of the glycine conjugation pathway has been reported and this could reflect the essential role of glycine conjugation in hepatic metabolism. Therefore, we hypothesised that genetic variation in the open reading frame (ORF) of the GLYAT gene should be low and that deleterious alleles would be found at low frequencies. This hypothesis was investigated by analysing the genetic variation of the human GLYAT ORF using data available in public databases. We also sequenced the GLYAT ORF of a small cohort of South African Afrikaner Caucasian individuals. In total, data from 1537 individuals was analysed. The two most prominent GLYAT haplotypes in all populations analysed, were S156 (70%) and T17S156 (20%). The S156C199 and S156H131 haplotypes, which have a negative effect on the enzyme activity of a recombinant human GLYAT, were detected at very low frequencies. In the Afrikaner Caucasian cohort a novel Q61L SNP occurring at a high frequency (12%) was detected. The results of this study indicated that the GLYAT ORF is highly conserved and supported the hypothesis that the glycine conjugation pathway is an essential detoxification pathway. These findings emphasise the importance of future investigations to determine the in vivo capacity of the glycine conjugation pathway for the detoxification of benzoate and other xenobiotics.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes oxidize about 80% of the most commonly used drugs. Older patients form a very interesting clinical group in which an increased prevalence of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and therapeutic failures (TFs) is observed. Might CYP drug metabolism change with age, and justify the differences in drug response observed in a geriatric setting? AREAS COVERED A complete overview of the CYP pharmacogenetics with a focus on the epigenetic CYP gene regulation by DNA methylation in the context of advancing age, in which DNA methylation might change. EXPERT OPINION Responder phenotypes consist of a continuum spanning from ADRs to TFs, with the best responders at the midpoint. CYP genetics is the basis of this continuum on which environmental and physiological factors act, modeling the phenotype observed in clinical practice. Physiological age-related changes in DNA methylation, the main epigenetic mechanisms regulating gene expression in humans, results in a physiological decrease in CYP gene expression with advancing age. This may be one of the physiological changes that, together with increased drug use, contributed to the higher prevalence of ADRs and TFs observed in the geriatric setting, thus, making geriatrics a special group for pharmacogenetics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Different findings indicate that CYP2C plays a clinical role in determining interindividual and interethnic differences in drug effectiveness. The ethnic differences in the frequency of CYP2C19 mutant alleles continue to be a significant study topic. The aim of the present study was to assess the frequency of allelic variants of CYP2C19 in Turkman ethnic groups and compare them with the frequencies in other ethnic populations. METHODS The study group included 140 unrelated healthy ethnic Turkman subject referred to the Health Center. Genotyping of CYP2C19 alleles (CYP2C19*1, CYP2C19*2, and CYP2C19*3 alleles) was carried out by Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism technique. RESULTS The allele frequency of CYP2C19*1, CYP2C19*2 and CYP2C19*3 were 56.43%, 23.57% and 20%, respectively. The result also showed that 39.7% of subjects expressed the CYP2C19*1/*1 genotype. While 42.1%, 9.3%, 9.3% and 1.4% expressed CYP2C19*1/*2, CYP2C19*1/*3, CYP2C19*2/*2 and CYP2C19*3/*3 genotypes, respectively. The genotype CYP2C19*2/*3 was not expressed in this study population. The findings suggested that 10% of subjects were poor metabolizers by expressing CYP2C19*2/*2 and CYP2C19*3/*3 genotypes. Fifty one percent of subjects were intermediate metabolizers having CYP2C19*1/*2, CYP2C19*2/*3 and CYP2C19*1/*3 genotypes and 37.86% were found to be extensive metabolizers expressing CYP2C19*1/*1 genotype. The frequency of intermediate metabolizers genotype was high (51%) in Turkman ethnic groups. CONCLUSION This study showed that the determined allelic variants of CYP2C19 (CYP2C19*2 and CYP2C19*3 mutations) in Turkman ethnic group are comparable to other populations. These findings could be useful for the clinicians in different country to determine optimal dosage and effectiveness of drugs metabolized by this polymorphic enzyme.

Abstract
1,8-Cineole is a widely distributed odorant that also shows physiological effects, but whose human metabolism has hitherto not been extensively investigated. The aim of the present study was, thus, to characterise the metabolites of 1,8-cineole, identified previously in human milk, after the oral intake of 100 mg of this substance. Special emphasis was placed on the enantiomeric composition of the metabolites since these data may provide important insights into potential biotransformation pathways, as well as potential biological activities of these substances, for example on the breastfed child. The volatile fraction of the human milk samples was therefore isolated via Solvent Assisted Flavour Evaporation (SAFE) and subjected to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The absolute concentrations of each metabolite were determined by matrix calibration with an internal standard, and the ratios of enantiomers were analysed on chiral capillaries. The concentrations varied over a broad range, from traces in the upper ng/kg region up to 40 µg/kg milk, with the exception of the main metabolite α2-hydroxy-1,8-cineole that showed concentrations of 100-250 µg/kg. Also, large inter- and intra-individual variations were recorded for the enantiomers, with nearly enantiomerically pure α2-hydroxy- and 3-oxo-1,8-cineole, while all other metabolites showed ratios of ~30:70 to 80:20.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 2A6 (CYP2A6) catalyzes important metabolic reactions of many xenobiotic compounds, including coumarin, nicotine, cotinine, and clinical drugs. Genetic polymorphisms of CYP2A6 can influence its metabolic activities. This study analyzed the functional activities of six CYP2A6 allelic variants (CYP2A6*5, *7, *8, *18, *19, and *35) containing nonsynonymous single-nucleotide polymorphisms. Recombinant variant enzymes of CYP2A6*7, *8, *18, *19, and *35 were successfully expressed in Escherichia coli and purified. However, a P450 holoenzyme spectrum was not detected for the CYP2A6*5 allelic variant (G479V). Structural analysis shows that the G479V mutation may alter the interaction between the A helix and the F-G helices. Enzyme kinetic analyses indicated that the effects of mutations in CYP2A6 allelic variants on drug metabolism are dependent on the substrates. In the case of coumarin 7-hydroxylation, CYP2A6*8 and *35 displayed increased K(m) values whereas CYP2A6*18 and *19 showed decreased k(cat) values, which resulted in lower catalytic efficiencies (k(cat)/K(m)). In the case of nicotine 5-oxidation, the CYP2A6*19 variant exhibited an increased K(m) value, whereas CYP2A6*18 and *35 showed much greater decreases in k(cat) values. These results suggest that individuals carrying these allelic variants are likely to have different metabolisms for different CYP2A6 substrates. Functional characterization of these allelic variants of CYP2A6 can help determine the importance of CYP2A6 polymorphisms in the metabolism of many clinical drugs.

Abstract
The study of cytochrome P450 pharmacogenomics is of particular interest because of its promise in the development of rational means to optimize drug therapy with respect to patient's genotype to ensure maximum efficacy with minimal adverse effects. Drug metabolizing P450 enzymes are polymorphic and are the main phase I enzymes responsible for the metabolism of clinical drugs. Therefore, polymorphisms in the P450s have the most impact on the fate of clinical drugs in phase I metabolism since almost 80% of drugs in use today are metabolized by these enzymes. Predictive genotyping for P450 enzymes for a more effective therapy will be routine for specific drugs in the future. In this review, we discuss the current knowledge of polymorphic metabolism by functional alterations in nonsynonymous SNPs of P450 1A2, 2A6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, and 3A4 enzymes.

Abstract
Humans are simultaneously exposed to multiple chemicals in the environment. Many of the chemicals use the same enzymes in their metabolic pathways. Competitive inhibition may occur as one of the possible interactions between the xenobiotics in human body. For example, many volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are metabolized using P450 enzymes, specifically CYP2E1. Inheritable gene alterations may result in changes of function of the enzymes in different human subpopulations. Variations in quantity and/or quality of particular isoenzymes may cause differences in the metabolism of VOCs. These variations may cause higher sensitivity in certain populations. Using examples of three different mixtures, this review paper outlines the variances in CYP2E1 isoenzymes, effect of exposure to such mixtures on sensitive populations, and approaches to mixtures risk assessment.

Abstract
The field of pharmacogenetics contains a wealth of potential for the enhancement of clinical practice by providing a more effective match between patient and drug, consequently reducing the probability of an adverse drug reaction. Although a relatively novel concept in the forensic context, pharmacogenetics has the capability to assist in the interpretation of drug related deaths, particularly in unintentional drug poisonings where the cause of death remains unclear. However, the complex pharmacology of the drugs when subjected to genetic variations in metabolism makes interpretation of the expected response and adverse events difficult. Many possess multiple metabolic pathways, narrow therapeutic indices and active metabolites or enantiomers which may be eliminated via different pathways to the parent drug. A number of these drugs, which are metabolised primarily by the CYP450 system, are also associated with serotonin syndrome, or serotonin toxicity, especially when used concomitantly with other serotonin active drugs which rely on the same metabolic pathways for drug elimination. A comprehensive understanding of polymorphic drug metabolism and its expected outcomes is therefore essential when interpreting the involvement of drugs in adverse reactions. This review examines the genetically variable CYP450-mediated metabolism of a number of serotonin-active drugs that are often implicated in cases of serotonin toxicity, to assess the impact of pharmacogenetics on drug metabolism, response, interactions and adverse effects.

Abstract
The genetics of cytochrome P450 (CYP) is a very active area of multidisciplinary research, overlapping the interest of medicine, biology and pharmacology, being the CYP enzyme system responsible for the metabolism of more than 80% of the commercially available drugs. Variations in CYP encoding genes are responsible for inter-individual differences in CYP production or function, with severe clinical consequences as therapeutic failures (TFs) and adverse drug reactions (ADRs), being ADRs worldwide primary causes of morbidity and mortality in elderly people. In fact, the prevalence of both TFs and ADRs strongly increased in the presence of multiple pharmacological treatments, a common status in subjects aging 65 years and over. The present article explored some basic concepts of human genetics that have important implications in the genetics of CYP. An attempted to transfer these basic concepts to the genetic data reported by the Home Page of The Human Cytochrome P450 (CYP) Allele Nomenclature Committee was also made, focusing on the current knowledge of CYP genetics. The status of what we know and what we need to know is the base for the clinical applications of pharmacogenetics, in which personalized drug treatments constituted the main aim, in particular in patients attending a geriatric ward.

Abstract
The understanding of the cytochrome P450 3A SNP in antiretroviral therapy is important, because it is highly inducible, extremely polymorphic and metabolizes many of the drugs that are key components of highly active antiretroviral therapy regimens. This enzyme is prolific and promiscuous towards drug and xenobiotic substrate selection and it is also unpredictable among individuals, having a 5- to 20-fold variability in its ability to contribute to drug clearance. The importance of human CYP3A pharmacogenetics is also gaining attention in other established areas of pharmacotherapy as it may contribute to the goal of predicting efficacy and/or toxicity, specifically with the discovery of null allele CYP3A4*20. This review summarizes the current understanding, implications of genetic variation in the CYP3A enzymes, the central role of CYP3A in linking human genetics, the pharmacokinetics and resulting pharmacodynamic responses to certain antiretroviral drugs, and their eventual place in applied clinical pharmacotherapy.

Abstract
This case-control study was conducted to examine the association between the CYP1A1 and CYP2D6 genotypes and lung cancer risk among North Indians. The estimated relative risk for lung cancer associated with the CYP1A1 Val/Val allele was 2.68, and was four-fold when cases with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) were considered alone. With regard to the metabolism of debrisoquine, no poor metabolizers were found amongst the subjects. The odds ratio of risk with the heterozygous extensive metabolizer (HEM) genotype was 1.5. However, in the presence of at least a single copy of the variant CYP1A1 MspI allele and the CYP2D6 HEM genotype, the risk was two-fold for squamous cell carcinoma (SQCC). When the CYP1A1 Val/Val and CYP2D6 HEM genotypes were taken together, the risk for SCLC was four-fold. Stratified analysis indicated an interaction between bidi smoking and variant CYP1A1 genotypes on the risk for SQCC and SCLC. Heavy smokers (Brinkman index>400) with Val/Val genotypes were at a very high risk of developing lung cancer (odds ratio 29.30, 95% confidence interval 2.42-355, p=0.008). Heavy smokers with CYP1A1 MspI (CYP1A1*1/2A or CYP1A1*2A/*2A) genotype had a seven-fold risk for SCLC compared with non-smokers. This study is the first to be carried out on a North Indian population, and, although small, suggests that CYP1A1 and CYP2D6 polymorphisms might have a role in determining the risk for lung cancer and should be investigated further.

Abstract
1. Understanding the genetic basis of interindividual variability in drug disposition and response is a fundamental focus for rational and individualized drug treatment. Cytochrome P4503A4 (CYP3A4) has a central role in human drug metabolism and polymorphic variation has been reported in this gene. 2. This study reports the in vitro functional analysis of inherited mutations in the 5' flanking region of the CYP3A4 gene using reporter constructs in which the 1141 bp proximal promoter region from the mutant alleles was inserted between a single copy of the CYP3A4 300 bp core distal enhancer (XREM) sequence and the cDNA for human secretory alkaline phosphatase. 3. Reporter constructs were co-transfected with an hPXR expression vector into human liver and intestinal cells in culture and xenobiotic modulation of CYP3A4 promoter activity determined by chemiluminescent secretory alkaline phosphatase assay. DNA-protein interactions were next examined using electrophoretic mobility shift assays. 4. The results demonstrated that inherited mutations in the CYP3A4 gene proximal promoter region could cause significant up-regulation of in vitro transcriptional activation by CYP3A4 xenobiotic inducers. In addition, the magnitude of the effect appeared to be dependent on the cell type used in the functional assays, possibly due to the differing availability of specific intracellular transcription factors or their activating ligands.

Abstract
Idiopathic Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects 1-2% of the population over the age of 65 years. Its aetiology is most likely a combination of complex genetic and environmental factors. Although Mendelian inheritance is seen in less than 5% of cases, recent studies have identified three genes mutations causing Parkinson's disease with a Mendelian inheritance pattern: autosomal dominantly inherited mutations of the alpha-synuclein gene on chromosome 4q21-q23, autosomal recessively inherited mutations of the parkin gene on chromosome 6q25.2-q27 and an autosomal dominantly inherited mutation of the Ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCH-L1) gene on chromosome 4p14-15.1. A number of other candidate gene polymorphisms including cytochrome P450 2D6, N-acetyltransferase 2, monoamine oxidase-B and glutathione-s-transferase M1 are implicated in sporadic and familial cases and may also play a minor role in the aetiology of Parkinson's disease.

Abstract
CYP2A6 inactivates nicotine to cotinine and cotinine to 3-hydroxycotinine. We investigated which of plasma nicotine and metabolites were most related to CYP2A6 genotype and smoking levels. We assessed demographic and smoking histories in 152 Caucasian ad libitum smokers, measured breath carbon monoxide (CO) levels, and determined plasma nicotine, cotinine, and 3-hydroxycotinine by high-performance liquid chromatography and CYP2A6 genotypes by PCR. Cigarettes per day was most closely related to CO (r = 0.60, P < 0.001) followed by plasma cotinine (r = 0.53, P < 0.001), whereas plasma cotinine was most strongly correlated with CO levels (r = 0.74, P < 0.001), confirming that cotinine is a good indicator of smoking levels; this was not limited by CYP2A6 variants. 3-Hydroxycotinine/cotinine is reported to be a good marker of CYP2A6 activity, and we found that the 3-hydroxycotinine/(cotinine + nicotine) ratio was most correlated with CYP2A6 genotype (r = 0.38, P < 0.001). Inclusion of the CYP2A6*12A allele strengthened the correlation (r = 0.46, P < 0.001), suggesting that the identification of novel alleles will continue to improve this relationship. Nicotine metabolism is slower in smokers, and we have shown that CYP2A6 is reduced by nicotine treatment in monkeys. Here, we found that plasma nicotine levels were inversely correlated with CYP2A6 activity (3-hydroxycotinine/cotinine, r = -0.41, P < 0.001) among those without CYP2A6 variants, suggesting a reduction in metabolism with higher nicotine levels. Together, these findings (a) confirm the use of plasma cotinine and CO as indicators of Caucasians' smoking levels, and that this is not limited by CYP2A6 genetic variation; (b) indicate that 3-hydroxycotinine/cotinine and 3-hydroxycotinine/(cotinine + nicotine) are moderately good indicators of the CYP2A6 genotype; and (c) support that nicotine exposure may reduce its own metabolism.

Abstract
Drug metabolism in pharmaceutical research has traditionally focused on the well-defined aspects of absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion, commonly-referred to ADME properties of a compound, particularly in the areas of metabolite identification, identification of drug metabolizing enzymes (DMEs) and associated metabolic pathways, and reaction mechanisms. This traditional emphasis was in part due to the limited scope of understanding and the unavailability of in vitro and in vivo tools with which to evaluate more complex properties and processes. However, advances over the past decade in separate but related fields such as pharmacogenetics, pharmacogenomics and drug transporters, have dramatically shifted the drug metabolism paradigm. For example, knowledge of the genetics and genomics of DMEs allows us to better understand and predict enzyme regulation and its effects on exogenous (pharmacokinetics) and endogenous pathways as well as biochemical processes (pharmacology). Advances in the transporter area have provided unprecedented insights into the role of transporter proteins in absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of drugs and their consequences with respect to clinical drug-drug and drug-endogenous substance interactions, toxicity and interindividual variability in pharmacokinetics. It is therefore essential that individuals involved in modern pharmaceutical research embrace a fully integrated approach and understanding of drug metabolism as is currently practiced. The intent of this review is to reexamine drug metabolism with respect to the traditional as well as current practices, with particular emphasis on the critical aspects of integrating chemistry and biology in the interpretation and application of metabolism data in pharmaceutical research.

Abstract
Hereditary gingival fibromatosis (HGF) is a rare condition that can occur as an isolated disease or as part of a syndrome or chromosomal abnormality. In severe cases, the gingival enlargement may cover the crowns of teeth and cause severe functional and esthetic concerns. Histological and cell culture studies have uncovered some of the molecular and cellular changes associated with HGF. However, the pathogenesis of the disease is still largely unknown. Recent studies about the genetic characteristics of HGF have provided novel clues about the potential pathogenic mechanisms. In particular, mutation in the son-of-sevenless (SOS-1) gene has been associated with one form of the disease. However, HGF displays genetic heterogeneity, and mutations in other genes are also likely involved. This review outlines the current knowledge about the histological, cellular, and genetic characteristics of HGF. In addition, the potential role of the SOS-1 molecule and related novel intracellular signaling pathways in the pathogenesis of HGF will be discussed.

Abstract
Selective and nonselective cytochromes P450 (P450) chemical inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are routinely used to determine the contribution of P450 enzymes involved in the biotransformation of a drug. A fluorometric assay has been established using fluorescein diacetate as a model substrate to determine the effect of some commonly used P450 inhibitors and mAbs on human liver microsomal esterase activity. Of those inhibitors studied, only alpha-naphthoflavone, clotrimazole, ketoconazole, miconazole, nicardipine, and verapamil significantly inhibited human liver microsomal esterase activity, with apparent IC50 values of 18.0, 20.5, 6.5, 15.0, 19.4, and 5.4 microM, respectively. All of these showed > or =20% inhibition of human liver microsomal esterase activity at concentrations typically used for P450 reaction phenotyping studies, with clotrimazole, miconazole, nicardipine, and verapamil showing >60% inhibition. Unlike the chemical inhibitors, no inhibition of human liver microsomal esterase activity was observed in the presence of mAb to CYP1A2, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, and 3A4. These results suggest that P450 chemical inhibitors are capable of inhibiting human liver microsomal esterase activity and should not be used to assess the role of P450 enzymes in the biotransformation of esters. The lack of inhibition of human liver microsomal esterase activity by P450-specific monoclonal antibodies suggests that they may be used to assess the role of P450 enzymes in the biotransformation of esters. Additional experiments to assess the contribution of oxidative enzymes in the metabolism of esters may include incubations in the presence and absence of beta-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide 2'-phosphate reduced.

Abstract
In this study, we estimated the environmental and genetic components of two variables related to avian oxidative stress using wild nestlings of the Eurasian kestrel (Falco tinnunculus). The study was carried out during two breeding seasons. In the first season, we assessed the between- and within-nest resemblance in serum reactive oxygen metabolites (ROMs) and total serum antioxidant barrier (OXY). In the second season, we carried out a cross-fostering experiment to determine the importance of environmental and genetic factors on ROMs and OXY. The 23.5% of ROMs variance was explained by the nest of origin, indicating a main genetic component. In contrast, the 52.8% of OXY variance was explained by the nest of rearing, indicating that this variable was more influenced by environmental components. These findings suggest that variations in ROMs and OXY could reflect, respectively, the expression of different genetic polymorphisms and differences in dietary uptake of antioxidants.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 (P450) 2A6 is an important human enzyme involved in the metabolism of many xenobiotic chemicals including coumarin, indole, nicotine, and carcinogenic nitrosamines. A combination of random mutagenesis and high-throughput screening was used in the analysis of P450 2A6, utilizing a fluorescent coumarin 7-hydroxylation assay. The steady-state kinetic parameters (k(cat) and Km) for coumarin 7-hydroxylation by wild-type P450 2A6 and 35 selected mutants were measured and indicated that mutants throughout the coding region can have effects on activity. Five mutants showing decreased catalytic efficiency (k(cat)/Km) were further analyzed for substrate selectivity and binding affinities and showed reduced catalytic activities for 7-methoxycoumarin O-demethylation, tert-butyl methyl ether O-demethylation, and indole 3-hydroxylation. All mutants except one (K476E) showed decreased coumarin binding affinities (and also higher Km values), indicating that this is a major basis for the decreased enzymatic activities. A recent x-ray crystal structure of P450 2A6 bound to coumarin (Yano, J. K., Hsu, M. H., Griffin, K. J., Stout, C. D., and Johnson, E. F. (2005) Nat. Struct. Mol. Biol. 12, 822-823) indicates that the recovered A481T and N297S mutations appear to be close to coumarin, suggesting direct perturbation of substrate interaction. The decreased enzymatic activity of the K476E mutant was associated with decreases both in NADPH oxidation and the reduction rate of the ferric P450 2A6-coumarin complex. The attenuation is caused in part to lower binding affinity for NADPH-P450 reductase, but the K476E mutant did not achieve the wild-type coumarin 7-hydroxylation activity even at high reductase concentrations.

Abstract
Human cytochrome P450 (P450) 2A6 catalyzes 7-hydroxylation of coumarin, and the reaction rate is enhanced by cytochrome b5 (b5). 7-Alkoxycoumarins were O-dealkylated and also hydroxylated at the 3-position. Binding of coumarin and 7-hydroxycoumarin to ferric and ferrous P450 2A6 are fast reactions (k(on) approximately 10(6) m(-1) s(-1)), and the k(off) rates range from 5.7 to 36 s(-1) (at 23 degrees C). Reduction of ferric P450 2A6 is rapid (7.5 s(-1)) but only in the presence of coumarin. The reaction of the ferrous P450 2A6 substrate complex with O2 is rapid (k > or = 10(6) m(-1) s(-1)), and the putative Fe2+.O2 complex decayed at a rate of approximately 0.3 s(-1) at 23 degrees C. Some 7-hydroxycoumarin was formed during the oxidation of the ferrous enzyme under these conditions, and the yield was enhanced by b5. Kinetic analyses showed that approximately 1/3 of the reduced b5 was rapidly oxidized in the presence of the Fe2+.O2 complex, implying some electron transfer. High intrinsic and competitive and non-competitive intermolecular kinetic deuterium isotope effects (values 6-10) were measured for O-dealkylation of 7-alkoxycoumarins, indicating the effect of C-H bond strength on rates of product formation. These results support a scheme with many rapid reaction steps, including electron transfers, substrate binding and release at multiple stages, and rapid product release even though the substrate is tightly bound in a small active site. The inherent difficulty of chemistry of substrate oxidation and the lack of proclivity toward a linear pathway leading to product formation explain the inefficiency of the enzyme relative to highly efficient bacterial P450s.

Abstract
Impressive advances in the last decade have been made in the genetics and neuroscience of neuropsychiatric illness. Synergies between complex genetics, elaboration of intermediate phenotypes (Egan et al. (2004) Schizophrenia. London: Blackwell) and novel applications in neuroimaging (Bookheimer et al. (2000) N Engl J Med, 343, 450-456) are revealing the effects of positively associated disease alleles on aspects of neurological function. Genes such as NRG-1, DISC1, RGS4, COMT, PRODH, DTNBP1, G72, DAAO, GRM3 (Harrison and Weinberger (2005) Mol Psychiatry, 10, 40-68) and others have been implicated in schizophrenia along with 5-HTTPR (Ogilvie et al. (1996) Lancet, 347, 731-733; Caspi et al. (2003) Science, 301, 386-389) and BDNF (Geller et al. (2004) Am J Psychiatry, 161, 1698-1700) in affective disorders. As the genetics and complex neurocircuits of these and disorders are being untangled, parallel applications in pharmacogenomics and gene-based drug metabolism are shaping a drive for personalized medicine. Genetic research and pharmacogenomics suggest that the subcategorization of individuals based on various sets of susceptibility alleles will make the treatment of neuropsychiatric and other illnesses more predictable and effective.

Abstract
Exploring the associations between genetic polymorphisms of metabolic enzymes and susceptibility to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)–induced chromosomal damage is of great significance for understanding PAH carcinogenesis. Cytochrome P450, glutathione S-transferase, microsomal epoxide hydrolase, NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase, and N-acetyltransferase are PAH-metabolizing enzymes. In this study, we genotyped for the polymorphisms of these genes and assessed their effects on cytokinesis-block micronucleus (CBMN) frequencies in peripheral blood lymphocytes among 141 coke-oven workers and 66 non–coke-oven worker controls. The geometric means of urinary 1-hydroxypyrene levels in coke-oven workers and the controls were 12.0 and 0.7 μmol/mol creatinine, respectively (P < 0.01). The CBMN frequency (number of micronuclei per 1,000 binucleated lymphocytes) was significantly higher in coke-oven workers (9.5 ± 6.6‰) than in the controls (4.0 ± 3.6‰; P < 0.01). Among the coke-oven workers, age was positively associated with CBMN frequency; the mEH His113 variant genotype exhibited significantly lower CBMN frequency (8.5 ± 6.5‰) than did the Tyr113/Tyr113 genotype (11.3 ± 6.4‰; P < 0.01); the low mEH activity phenotype exhibited a lower CBMN frequency (8.6 ± 6.8‰) than did the high mEH activity phenotype (13.2 ± 6.7‰; P = 0.01); the GSTP1 Val105/Val105 genotype exhibited a higher CBMN frequency (15.0 ± 5.8‰) than did the GSTP1 Ile105/Ile105 or Ile105/Val105 genotypes (9.3 ± 6.5‰; P < 0.01); the joint effect of high mEH activity phenotype and GSTM1 null genotype on CBMN frequencies was also found. Gene-environment interactions between occupational PAH exposure and polymorphisms of mEH and/or GSTM1 were also evident. These results indicate that the mEH, GSTP1, and GSTM1 polymorphisms may play a role in sensitivity or genetic susceptibility to the genotoxic effects of PAH exposure in the coke-oven workers.

Abstract
Dietary approaches to cancer chemoprevention increasingly have focused on single nutrients or phytochemicals to stimulate one or another enzymatic metabolizing system. These procedures, which aim to boost carcinogen detoxification or inhibit carcinogen bioactivation, fail to take into account the multiple and paradoxical biological outcomes of enzyme modulators that make their effects unpredictable. Here, we critically examine the scientific and medical evidence for the idea that the physiological roles of specific enzymes may be manipulated by regular, long-term administration of isolated nutrients and other chemicals derived from food plants. Instead, we argue that consumption of healthful diets is most likely to reduce mutagenesis and cancer risk, and that research efforts and dietary recommendations should be redirected away from single nutrients to emphasize the improvement of dietary patterns as a principal strategy for public health policy.

Abstract
AIM The aim of the current retrospective study was to assess the influence of polymorphic drug metabolism as assessed by genotyping, on the on the utilisation of psychotropic drugs in hospitalised psychiatric patients. The utilisation of psychotropic drugs was assessed using pharmacy records with emphasis on the number of prescriptions and prescriptions for possible side effects. METHODS CYP2D6 genotype was assessed in 241 psychiatric patients by investigation for the five most common allelic variants ( CYP2D6*3, *4, *6, *7, *8) and the presence of gene duplication using allele-specific polymerase chain reaction. Data concerning the pharmacotherapy of the patients were retrieved from the pharmacy information system. Data was analysed on differences observed in pharmacy records concerning the different metabolic classes: ultra rapid metabolisers (UMs), extensive metabolisers (EMs) and poor metabolisers (PMs). RESULTS For CYP2D6, 2.5% was UM (95% CI: 0.5-4.5%, n=6) and 8.3% was PM (95% CI: 4.8-11.8%, n=20). Drugs metabolised by CYP2D6 were less frequently prescribed in PMs than EMs (21.1% vs 33.6%, P=0.023). The average duration of prescriptions was significantly lower in PMs than EMs (54 days vs 106 days, P=0.010). Between UMs and EMs, no significant differences were found, although a similar tendency was observed. With regard to dose, no consistent differences were observed between the CYP2D6 genotype classes. Drugs against Parkinsonian-like side effects were given twice as frequently in PMs as EMs (6.9% vs 3.4%, P=0.045). CONCLUSIONS Patients with impaired CYP2D6 metabolism received fewer CYP2D6 drugs. PMs were more prone to Parkinsonian-like side effects as evidenced by more prescriptions for drugs combating these side effects. Dose titrations were not often used to compensate for genetic polymorphisms. Pharmacy records might be a useful tool to detect differences related to polymorphic metabolism.

Abstract
Methyl parathion is an organophosphorus (OP) insecticide with insecticidal properties derived from acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition; this same property is also the root of its toxicity in humans. Poisoning with methyl parathion leads to cholinergic overstimulation with signs of toxicity including sweating, dizziness, vomiting, diarrhea, convulsions, cardiac arrest, respiratory arrest, and, in extreme cases, death. Reports of methyl parathion intoxication, usually seen only in field pesticide applicators, have increased throughout the United States as a result of unauthorized application of methyl parathion inside homes. The health concerns of the use of methyl parathion have resulted in cancellation of its use in most food crops in the United States. This review examines the well-documented neurotoxicity of methyl parathion as well as effects on other organ systems.

Abstract
The potential for drug-drug interactions in psychiatry and patients with epilepsy is very high. Moreover, antiepileptic drugs are widely used outside epilepsy as psychotropic agents and their spectrum of activity on behavior is of considerable interest to psychopharmacology. In both neurologic and psychiatric practice, pharmacotherapy combinations are commonly used to treat comorbid psychiatric and neurologic disorders, to reduce or control the adverse effects of a medication or to increase its efficacy. This paper focuses on the metabolic pharmacokinetic interactions between two classes of psychotropic drugs: antiepileptic and antipsychotic drugs. The degree of documentation varies for many interactions from clinical case-report experiences to well established research outcomes. The evidence and the clinical significance of these interactions are reviewed. In general, it is better to use as few drugs as possible, as multicolored politherapies increase the possible adverse effects of drug interactions and reduce patient compliance.

Abstract
Human CYP3A4 is the major cytochrome P450 isoenzyme in adult human liver and is known to metabolise many xenobiotic and endogenous compounds. There is substantial inter-individual variation in the hepatic levels of CYP3A4. Although, polymorphic mutations have been reported in the 5' regulatory region of the CYP3A4 gene, those that have been investigated so far do not appear to have any effect on gene expression. To determine whether other mutations exist in this region of the gene, we have performed a new population screen on a panel of 101 human DNA samples. A 1140 bp section of the 5' proximal regulatory region of the CYP3A4 gene, containing numerous regulatory motifs, was amplified from genomic DNA as three overlapping segments. The 300 bp distal enhancer region at -7.9kb containing additional regulatory motifs was also amplified. Mutation analysis of the resulting PCR products was carried out using non-radioactive single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) and confirmatory sequencing of both DNA strands in those samples showing extra SSCP bands. In addition to detection of the previously reported CYP3A4*1B allele in nine subjects, three novel alleles were found: CYP3A4*1E (having a T-->A transversion at -369 in one subject), CYP3A4*1F (having a C-->G tranversion at -747 in 17 subjects) and CYP3A4*15B containing a nine-nucleotide insertion between -845 and -844 linked to an A-->G transition at -392 and a G-->A transition in exon 6 (position 485 in the cDNA) in one subject. All the novel alleles were heterozygous. No mutations were found in the upstream distal enhancer region. Our results clearly indicate that this rapid and simple SSCP approach can reveal mutant alleles in drug metabolising enzyme genes. Detection and determination of the frequency of novel alleles in CYP3A4 will assist investigation of the relationship between genotype, xenobiotic metabolism and toxicity in the CYP3A family of isoenzymes.

Abstract
Antipsychotic drugs are used for the treatment of schizophrenia and other related psychotic disorders. The antipsychotics currently available include older or classical compounds and newer or atypical agents. Most antipsychotic drugs are highly lipophilic compounds and undergo extensive metabolism by cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes in order to be excreted. There is a wide interindividual variability in the biotransformation of antipsychotic drugs, resulting in pronounced differences in steady-state plasma concentrations and, possibly, in therapeutic and toxic effects, during treatment with fixed doses. Many classical and some newer antipsychotics are metabolized to a significant extent by the polymorphic CYP2D6, which shows large interindividual variation in activity. Other CYPs, especially CYP1A2 and CYP3A4, also contribute to the interindividual variability in the kinetics of antipsychotics and occurrence of drug interactions. No relationship between CYP2D6 genotype or activity and therapeutic effects of classical antipsychotic drugs has been found in the few studies performed. On the other hand, some investigations suggest that poor metabolizers (PMs) of CYP2D6 would be more prone to over-sedation and, possibly, Parkinsonism during treatment with classical antipsychotics, while other studies, mostly retrospective, have been negative or inconclusive. For the newer antipsychotics, such data are lacking. To date, CYP2D6 phenotyping and genotyping appear, therefore, to be clinically useful for dose predicting only in special cases and for a limited number of antipsychotics, while their usefulness in predicting clinical effects must be further explored.

Abstract
Hazard characterisation of low molecular weight chemicals in food and diet generally use a no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) or a benchmark dose as the starting point. For hazards that are considered not to have thresholds for their mode of action, low-dose extrapolation and other modelling approaches may be applied. The default position is that rodents are good models for humans. However, some chemicals cause species-specific toxicity syndromes. Information on quantitative species differences is used to modify the default uncertainty factors applied to extrapolate from experimental animals to humans. A central theme for extrapolation is unravelling the mode of action for the critical effects observed. Food can be considered as an extremely complex and variable chemical mixture. Interactions among low molecular weight chemicals are expected to be rare given that the exposure levels generally are far below their NOAELs. Hazard characterisation of micronutrients must consider that adverse effects may arise from intakes that are too low (deficiency) as well as too high (toxicity). Interactions between different nutrients may complicate such hazard characterisations. The principle of substantial equivalence can be applied to guide the hazard identification and hazard characterisation of macronutrients and whole foods. Macronutrients and whole foods must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and cannot follow a routine assessment protocol.

Abstract
Zonisamide is a novel anticonvulsant that is structurally and mechanistically unique, compared with other antiepilepsy drugs. Available in Japan and South Korea since 1989, it was approved in the United States in the year 2000 as adjunctive therapy for partial seizures in adults. There has been extensive clinical trial and clinical practice experience with zonisamide therapy in Japanese children. Open-label data from pediatric clinical trials conducted in Japan suggest that zonisamide is well tolerated and effective against partial- and generalized-onset seizures in children. Despite this wealth of open-label data, no formal pharmacokinetic studies and only one well-controlled trial of zonisamide's efficacy and safety in Japanese children have been completed to date. No controlled clinical trials of zonisamide in children have been completed in the United States or Europe. Additional controlled trials in children with partial- or generalized-onset seizures, infantile spasms, and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome are warranted to further delineate zonisamide's broad spectrum of efficacy and tolerability in children.

Abstract
Despite the recent development of new antiepilepsy drugs, a significant number of children are still unable to achieve seizure freedom without side effects. Understanding the factors behind individual variability in antiepilepsy drug tolerability and dose response and incorporating these factors into a treatment plan would represent an important advance in epilepsy pharmacotherapy. A more thorough understanding of the epileptogenic process may allow clinicians to select antiepilepsy drugs that interrupt or modify various steps in the epileptogenic progression (ie, disease modification). Additionally, advances in the understanding of human genetics may allow for selection of antiepilepsy drugs and dosage regimens based on a patient's clinical characteristics and genotype (ie, pharmacogenetics). This article focuses on these two areas of potential improvement in the medical treatment of patients with epilepsy. Such methods of tailoring antiepilepsy drug therapy would be preferable to the trial-and-error system that is currently used.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in coke oven emissions cause a cancer risk to humans. In a comprehensive biomonitoring study among Estonian coke oven workers, we looked at the effect of genetic polymorphisms in metabolic enzymes on urinary mutagenicity, 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OHP) concentration in urine, and aromatic DNA adducts in white blood cells (WBCs). Coke oven workers were sampled twice (samplings I and II), and controls only once at the time of sampling I. Urinary mutagenicity was measured using the Ames test. CYP1A1, microsomal epoxide hydrolase (mEH), and glutathione S-transferase (GST) genotypes were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Urinary mutagenicity did not differ between exposed and controls, but those coke oven workers who were smokers had significantly higher (P=0.0002) mutagenic activity in urine than nonsmokers. Urinary mutagenicity was moderately correlated to levels of 1-OHP and aromatic DNA adducts, the P values ranging from 0.0005 to 0.002. Carriers of a variant allele in exon 4 of mEH (Arg139) had elevated urinary mutagenicity (sampling I). In addition, urine mutagenicity of persons with predicted high mEH activity was significantly higher. Smoking habit did not explain the differences observed in urinary mutagenicity between mEH phenotype or genotype subgroups. Variation in exon 3 of mEH (His113) was related to a significantly (P=0.01) higher 1-OHP concentration in exposed workers (sampling II). Workers from sampling I who had an Arg139 variation in mEH had lower levels of adducts in lymphocytes (P=0.01) than others, while airborne benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) and His113 variation affected interactively on adduct levels. Our study shows that a comprehensive assessment of exposure is essential for elucidation of PAH exposure at a workplace. Even at high exposures metabolic polymorphisms seem to have some effect on biomarker levels, and should be assessed in biomonitoring studies.
