Abstract
The sexually dimorphic expression of cytochromes P450 (CYP) drug metabolizing enzymes has been reported in all species examined. These sex differences are initially expressed during puberty and are solely regulated by sex differences in the circulating growth hormone (GH) profiles. Once established, however, the different male- and female-dependent CYP isoforms are permanent and immutable, suggesting that adult CYP expression requires imprinting. Since the hormone that regulates an adult function is likely the same hormone that imprints the function, we selectively blocked GH secretion in some newborn male rats while others also received a concurrent physiologic replacement of rat GH. Rats were subsequently challenged, peripubertally, with either a masculine-like episodic GH regimen or the GH vehicle alone. The results demonstrate that episodic GH regulation of male-specific CYP2C11 and CYP3A2, as well as female-predominant CYP2C6, are dependent on developmental GH imprinting. Moreover, the induction and/or activation of major components in the signal transduction pathway regulating the expression of the principal CYP2C11 isoform is obligatorily dependent on perinatal GH imprinting without which CYP2C11 and drug metabolism would be permanently and profoundly suppressed. Since there are additional adult metabolic functions also regulated by GH, pediatric drug therapy that is known to disrupt GH secretion could unintentionally impair adult health.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450s (CYPs) are phase-I metabolic enzymes playing important roles in drug metabolism, dietary chemicals and endogenous molecules. Age is a key factor influencing P450s expression. Thus, age-related changes of CYP 1–4 families and bile acid homeostasis-related CYPs, the corresponding nuclear receptors and a few phase-II genes were examined. Livers from male Sprague-Dawley rats at fetus (−2 d), neonates (1, 7, and 14 d), weanling (21 d), puberty (28 and 35 d), adulthood (60 and 180 d), and aging (540 and 800 d) were collected and subjected to qPCR analysis. Liver proteins from 14, 28, 60, 180, 540 and 800 days of age were also extracted for selected protein analysis by western blot. In general, there were three patterns of their expression: Some of the drug-metabolizing enzymes and related nuclear receptors were low in fetal and neonatal stage, increased with liver maturation and decreased quickly at aging (AhR, Cyp1a1, Cyp2b1, Cyp2b2, Cyp3a1, Cyp3a2, Ugt1a2); the majority of P450s (Cyp1a2, Cyp2c6, Cyp2c11, Cyp2d2, Cyp2e1, CAR, PXR, FXR, Cyp7a1, Cyp7b1. Cyp8b1, Cyp27a1, Ugt1a1, Sult1a1, Sult1a2) maintained relatively high levels throughout the adulthood, and decreased at 800 days of age; and some had an early peak between 7 and 14 days (CAR, PXR, PPARα, Cyp4a1, Ugt1a2). The protein expression of CYP1A2, CYP2B1, CYP2E1, CYP3A1, CYP4A1, and CYP7A1 corresponded the trend of mRNA changes. In summary, this study characterized three expression patterns of 16 CYPs, five nuclear receptors, and four phase-II genes during development and aging in rat liver, adding to our understanding of age-related CYP expression changes and age-related disorders.

Abstract
Previously, we identified early developmental exposure to growth hormone (GH) as the requisite organizer responsible for programming the masculinization of the hepatic cytochromes P450 (CYP)-dependent drug metabolizing enzymes (Das et al., 2014, 2017). In spite of the generally held dogma that mammalian feminization requires no hormonal imprinting, numerous reports that the sex-dependent regulation and expression of hepatic CYPs in females are permanent and irreversible would suggest otherwise. Consequently, we selectively blocked GH secretion in a cohort of newborn female rats, some of whom received concurrent GH replacement or GH releasing factor. As adults, the feminine circulating GH profile was restored in the treated animals. Two categories of CYPs were measured. The principal and basically female specific CYP2C12 and CYP2C7; both completely and solely dependent on the adult feminine continuous GH profile for expression, and the female predominant CYP2C6 and CYP2E1 whose expression is maximum in the absence of plasma GH, suppressed by the feminine GH profile but more so by the masculine episodic GH profile. Our findings indicate that early developmental exposure to GH imprints the inchoate CYP2C12 and CYP2C7 in the differentiating liver to be solely dependent on the feminine GH profile for expression in the adult female. In contrast, adult expression of CYP2C6 and CYP2E1 in the female rat appears to require no GH imprinting.

Abstract
Yellow catfish (Pelteobagrus fulvidraco) is an important freshwater fish species in China. In particular, an all-male population has been commercially produced for the males grow faster than females. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying sexual dimorphism of body size and sex differentiation are still unclear in yellow catfish. This study attempts to characterize and analyze the expression of Cytochrome P450 (CYP) family members that have been shown to play an important role in sex differentiation and metabolism in teleosts. A total of 25 CYP genes were identified from our transcriptomes by 454 pyrosequencing and Solexa sequencing, including 17 genes with complete open reading frame (ORF). Phylogenetic analyses were conducted to compare these genes with their counterparts from other teleosts. In the tissues of hypothalamic-pituitary-gonad (HPG) axis, most of the genes were expressed at uniform level in both sexes. However, multiple CYP genes displayed sexual dimorphic expression, such as cyp2AD, cyp4b, cyp8a, cyp11b2, cyp17a and cyp27a expressed at higher level in testis than in ovary, whereas cyp2g, cyp7a, cyp8b, cyp19a1a and cyp26a expressed at higher level in ovary than in testis. The expression response of six CYP genes in ovary was also assessed after 17α-methyltestosterone (MT) treatment. Testis-biased expressed cyp11b2 and cyp17a were significantly up-regulated, while cyp11a and cyp19a1a were reduced in ovary after MT treatment. Our work is helpful for understanding molecular evolution of CYP genes in vertebrates and the mechanism of sexual dimorphism in teleosts.

Abstract
Sex-based differences in the pharmacological profiles of many drugs are due in part to the female-predominant expression of CYP3A4, which is the most important CYP isoform responsible for drug metabolism. Transcription factors trigger the sexually dimorphic expression of drug-metabolizing enzymes in response to sex-dependent growth hormone (GH) secretion. We investigated the roles of HNF6, C/EBPα, and RXRα in the regulation of human female-predominant CYP3A4, mouse female-specific CYP3A41, and rat male-specific CYP3A2 expression by GH secretion patterns using HepG2 cells, growth hormone receptor (GHR) knockout mice as well as rat models of orchiectomy and hypophysectomy. The constitutive expression of HNF6 and RXRα was GH-dependent, and GHR deficiency decreased HNF6/C/EBPα complex levels and increased HNF6/RXRα complex levels. Feminine GH secretion induced the binding of HNF6 and C/EBPα to the CYP3A4 and Cyp3a41 promoters and HNF6/C/EBPα complex levels was more efficiently compared with masculine pattern. Additionally, a greater inhibition of the binding of RXRα to the CYP3A4 and Cyp3a41 promoters and HNF6/RXRα complex levels was observed by feminine GH secretion, but less inhibition was observed by masculine pattern. The binding of HNF6, C/EBPα, and RXRα to the CYP3A2 promoter was not directly regulated by androgens. RXRα completely abolished the synergistic activation of the CYP3A4, Cyp3a41, and CYP3A2 promoters by HNF6 and C/EBPα. The results demonstrate that sex-dependent GH secretion patterns affect the expressions and interactions of HNF6, C/EBPα, and RXRα as well as their binding to CYP3A genes. RXRα mediates the sex-dependent influence of GH on CYP3A expression as an important signalling molecule.
