Abstract
Induction of drug-clearance pathways (Phase 1 and 2 enzymes and transporters) can have important clinical consequences. Inducers can (1) increase the clearance of other drugs, resulting in a decreased therapeutic effect, (2) increase the activation of pro-drugs, causing an alteration in their efficacy and pharmacokinetics, and (3) increase the bioactivation of drugs that contribute to hepatotoxicity via reactive intermediates. Nuclear receptors are key mediators of drug-induced changes in the expression of drug-clearance pathways. However, species differences in nuclear receptor activation make the prediction of cytochrome P450 (CYP) induction in humans from data derived from animal models problematic. Thus, in vitro human-relevant model systems are increasingly used to evaluate enzyme induction. In this review, the authors' current understanding of the mechanisms of enzyme induction and the in vitro methods for assessing the induction potential of new drugs will be discussed. Relevant issues and considerations surrounding proper study design and the interpretation of in vitro results will be discussed in light of the current US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommendations.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) induction-mediated interaction is one of the major concerns in clinical practice and for the pharmaceutical industry. There are two major issues associated with CYP induction: a reduction in therapeutic efficacy of comedications and an induction in reactive metabolite-induced toxicity. Because CYP induction is a metabolic liability in drug therapy, it is highly desirable to develop new drug candidates that are not potent CYP inducer to avoid the potential of CYP induction-mediated drug interactions. For this reason, today, many drug companies routinely include the assessment of CYP induction at the stage of drug discovery as part of the selection processes of new drug candidates for further clinical development. The purpose of this article is to review the molecular mechanisms of CYP induction and the clinical implications, including pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic consequences. In addition, factors that affect the degree of CYP induction and extrapolation of in vitro CYP induction data to in vivo situations will also be discussed. Finally, assessment of the potential of CYP induction at the drug discovery and development stage will be discussed.

Abstract
The cytochrome P450 expression profile was determined in the MCF10A human breast epithelial cell line, as was the ability of this cell line to catalyze the bioactivation of the cooked food mutagen, 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP). Using non-quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), transcripts for CYP1B1, CYP2J2, CYP2R1, CYP2U1, CYP2W1, CYP4B1, CYP4F, CYP4V2, CYP4X1 and CYP4Z1 were detected in both sub-confluent and confluent MCF10A cells. By contrast, CYP1A2 mRNA was detected only in confluent MCF10A cells, while CYP1A1, CYP2S1 and CYP2F1 were detected predominantly or exclusively in sub-confluent cultures. 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin treatment of confluent MCF10A cells markedly induced microsomal ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase activity and CYP1A1, CYP1A2 and CYP1B1 mRNA levels, as determined by real-time RT-PCR, while treatment with 10(-4)M PhIP had little effect on these P450 transcript levels. Treatment of confluent MCF10A cells with PhIP (10(-4)M) for 24, 48 or 72 h produced time-dependent increases in the amounts of DNA adducts, as measured by (32)P-post-labeling. These results indicate that multiple P450s, including those known to catalyze PhIP N-oxidation, are expressed in MCF10A cells, and that this non-neoplastic human breast epithelial cell line contains sufficient enzymatic machinery to support PhIP bioactivation and generate DNA damage.

Abstract
The heterocyclic amine 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP) is a recognized mutagen and carcinogen in the colon and prostate of male rats and in the mammary gland of female rats. In the current study, we examined the mutagenicity of PhIP in the kidney of male and female lacI transgenic rats and its modulation by a dietary chemopreventive agent, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). Sex-specific changes in mutation were observed following PhIP and CLA treatment. Exposure to 100 ppm PhIP through dietary supplementation for 47 days induced a lacI mutation frequency (MF) of 7.7 +/- 0.3 x 10(-5) and 4.7 +/- 1.0 x 10(-5) in the kidney of male and female rats, respectively. The PhIP-induced MFs in the kidney of male and female rats were significantly different from each other and were 300% (P < 0.001) and 60% (P < 0.05) higher than the corresponding controls, respectively. When rats were given CLA along with PhIP, CLA completely inhibited the formation of PhIP-induced mutations in the kidney of female rats, but not in male rats. Comparison of mutational spectra did not detect significant differences between male rats treated with PhIP and PhIP + CLA. However, unlike the -1 frameshifts induced by PhIP in the colon and prostate, which consist primarily of G:C deletions, -1 frameshifts in the kidney involved the loss of both G:C and A:T basepairs. Our data indicate that the kidney of the rats responds in a sex-dependent way to mutagenesis and antimutagenesis by PhIP and CLA. These differences may be related to hormonally regulated induction of P450 enzymes or cell proliferation.

Abstract
2-Amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP) and 2-amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (IQ) are two important heterocyclic amines formed in proteinaceous foods during the cooking process. Both PhIP and IQ are carcinogenic in several strains of rats. PhIP induces mammary tumors in female F344 rats, while IQ induces principally mammary and liver tumors in female Sprague-Dawley rats. Both PhIP and IQ are activated enzymatically, first by N-hydroxylation, catalyzed by CYP1A1 and CYP1A2, and subsequently by esterification (O-acetylation or sulfation), to yield DNA adducts. Such DNA adduct formation, and persistence of adducts, is related to initiation of carcinogenesis, while inhibition of this process leads to prevention of carcinogenesis. Indole-3-carbinol (I3C), a constituent of cruciferous vegetables, has chemopreventive properties in various systems; it probably acts by induction of detoxification enzymes. We have examined the effect of dietary I3C on DNA adduct formation by PhIP in female F344 rats and on that by IQ in female Sprague-Dawley rats. In experiment 1, F344 rats were maintained on AIN-76A diet containing 0.1% (w/w) I3C and then given p.o. doses (10 or 50 mg/kg) of PhIP. These doses are known to induce CYP1A1 and CYP1A2. Groups of animals (4/time point) were euthanized 1, 2, 6, and 16 days later, and their blood (for isolation of white blood cells), mammary glands, liver, stomach, small intestine, cecum, colon, heart, lungs, kidneys, and spleen were removed for DNA isolation and quantitation of PhIP-DNA adducts by 32P-postlabeling. PhIP-DNA adduct formation was inhibited (40-100%) by I3C in virtually all organs, including the mammary gland (the target organ), at both doses of PhIP, and at almost all time points. In a second experiment, Sprague-Dawley rats were fed either control AIN-76A diet or this diet containing 0.02% I3C or 0.1% I3C for a total of 42 days. IQ was added to the diets (0.01%, w/w) from day 15 to day 42, after which all rats received diet free of IQ and I3C. Groups of animals (4/time point) were killed on days 43 and 57. In addition to the organs removed in experiment 1, the pancreas, uterus, and ovaries were also removed, and IQ-DNA adducts were quantitated by 32P-postlabeling. Both dietary concentrations of I3C inhibited IQ-DNA adduct formation in most organs (except in lungs, kidneys, and pancreas) on both days 43 and 57; in liver, stomach, mammary gland, and spleen, inhibition was evident only on day 43. Inhibitions ranged from 22.6 to 86.6% with the 0.02% I3C diet and from 32.2 to 89.6% with the 0.1% I3C diet. I3C diets did not affect rate of adduct removal in either experiment. It is concluded that dietary I3C inhibits PhIP- and IQ-DNA adduct formation in both target and nontarget organs of female rats, even with high doses of PhIP when CYP1A1 and CYP1A2, the enzymes responsible for the initial activation (N-hydroxylation) of PhIP, are expected to be induced.

Abstract
The administration of lycopene to female rats at doses ranging from 0.001 to 0.1 g/kg b.w. per day for 2 weeks was found to alter the drug-metabolizing capacity and antioxidant status of the exposed animals. An investigation of four cytochrome P450-dependent enzymes revealed that benzyloxyresorufin O-dealkylase activity in the liver was significantly induced in a dose-dependent fashion at all lycopene doses investigated. Likewise, ethoxyresorufin O-dealkylase activity was induced, although only at the two highest lycopene concentrations tested. An investigation of selected phase 2 detoxification enzymes provided evidence that lycopene was capable of inducing hepatic quinone reductase, approximately two-fold, at doses between 0.001 and 0.05 g/kg b.w. per day, whereas no effect was observed at the remaining doses tested. Glutathione transferase, using the two substrates, 2,4-dichloronitrobenzene and 1-chloro-2, 4-dinitrobenzene, was significantly induced at the 0.1 g/kg b.w. per day dose, whereas no effect was observed at the remaining lycopene doses. Analysis of the antioxidant status of the blood compartment revealed that three out of four antioxidant enzymes were affected by lycopene treatment. The activity of superoxide dismutase was thus significantly induced at lycopene doses of 0.005 and 0.05 g/kg b.w, whereas glutathione reductase and glutathione peroxidase was only induced at the 0.005 g/kg b.w. per day dose. For all antioxidant enzymes investigated, the activities seemed to return to the control level after exerting peak induction at doses between 0.005 and 0.05 g/kg b.w. per day. The explanation for this remains unknown. The plasma concentration of lycopene at dietary levels of 0.001, 0.005, 0.05 and 0.1 g/kg b.w. per day was estimated to be 16, 32, 71 and 67 nM, which is barely within the lower range of the mean human plasma concentration of lycopene, which ranges from 70-1790 nM. Oxidative stress induced by the heterocyclic amine, 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo [4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP), and investigated by analyzing for malondialdehyde in plasma, was not found to be affected by prior lycopene exposure. The level of PhIP-DNA adducts in the liver or colon was likewise not affected by lycopene at any dose. Overall, the present study provides evidence that lycopene administered in the diet of young female rats exerts minor modifying effects toward antioxidant and drug-metabolizing enzymes involved in the protection against oxidative stress and cancer. The fact that these enzymatic activities are induced at all of these very low plasma levels, could be taken to suggest that modulation of antioxidant and drug-metabolizing enzymes may indeed be relevant to humans, which in general exhibit a plasma lycopene level several fold above the effective levels observed in this study.

Abstract
Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) inhibits carcinogenesis and atherosclerotic plaque formation and delays the onset of diabetes in experimental animals. Whereas a plethora of data has demonstrated beneficial effects in rodent models, little work has been done to determine the role of dietary CLA in human health. The ability of CLA to modulate lipid metabolism appears to be a pivotal mechanism of CLA's beneficial effects in mice and rats. In particular, dietary CLA induces the expression of genes dependent in part on the transcription factor, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR). Furthermore, several CLA isomers are high-affinity ligands and activators for PPAR alpha. Within various rodent species and strains, dietary CLA exerts varying potencies; therefore, the differences in species' sensitivities are of great importance when trying to extrapolate the rodent data to be relevant in humans. This review presents the latest findings of the ability of CLA to alter lipid metabolism and gene expression in several different strains of mice and rats and speculates on the implications of these findings for human health.

Abstract
AIM:The food-borne carcinogen 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo 4,5-b pyridine (PhIP) induces colon and mammary gland tumors in rats and has been implicated in the etiology of human colorectal cancer.This study was conducted to examine the potentially preventive effect of Chinese cabbage (Brassica chinensis),a brassica vegetable most commonly consumed in China, against this carcinogen-induced DNA adduct formation in rats and its possible mechanisms.METHODS:Sprague-Dawley rats were maintained for 10 days on basal diet or diet containing 20% (w/w) freeze-dried cabbage powder prior to administration of a single dose of PhIP (10mg/kg) by oral gavage. Rats were sacrificed at 20h after PhIP treatment and PhIP-DNA adducts in the colon, heart, lung and liver were analyzed using (32)P-postlabeling technique. Levels of hepatic cytochrome P450 (CYP)1A1 and 1A2, as indicated by 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase and 7-methoxyresorufin O-demethylase activity, and cytosolic glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) towards 1-chloro-2, 4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB) in the liver, lung and colon were measured.RESULTS:Rats pre-treated with Chinese cabbage and given a single dose of PhIP had reduced levels of PhIP-DNA adducts in the colon, heart, lung and liver, with inhibition rates of 82.3%, 60.6%, 48.4% and 48.9%, respectively (P< 0.01). The enzyme assays revealed that Chinese cabbage induced both CYP1A1 and 1A2 activity, but the induction was preferential for CYP1A1 over 1A2 (81% vs 51%).GST activity towards CDNB in the liver and lung, but not colon, was also significantly increased by cabbage treatment.CONCLUSION:The results indicate that Chinese cabbage has a preventive effect on PhIP-initiated carcinogenesis in rats and the mechanism is likely to involve the induction of detoxification enzymes.

Abstract
Meats cooked at high temperatures contain mutagenic heterocyclic amines such as 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP) and 2-amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (IQ). In female Fischer 344 rats, IQ is a multiorgan carcinogen, whereas PhIP induces mammary adenocarcinomas. For IQ and PhIP, N-hydroxylation, catalyzed by microsomal cytochrome P-450 1A1 and/or 1A2, and then esterification, especially O-acetylation, are the principal steps leading to DNA adduct formation. Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a mixture of conjugated linoleic acid isomers found in various meat and dairy products. We have examined the effect of dietary CLA on DNA adduct formation by PhIP and IQ in female Fischer 344 rats. Four-week-old animals were maintained on AIN-76A diet without or with CLA (4% wt/wt) and treated with IQ or PhIP (50 mg/kg by gavage) after two weeks. Animals were killed (4/group) one, four, and eight days later. DNA isolated from mammary epithelial cells, liver, colon, and white blood cells was analyzed for carcinogen-DNA adducts by 32P-postlabeling assays. On Day 1, dietary CLA significantly inhibited adduct formation (82.0%) in mammary epithelial cells in IQ--but not in PhIP-treated rats. In the colon, dietary CLA significantly inhibited PhIP-DNA adduct formation (18.7%) on Day 8 but increased IQ-DNA adduct formation (30.5%) on Day 8. Dietary CLA had no effect on adduct levels in liver or white blood cells. Calf thymus DNA was incubated with N-hydroxy-PhIP or -IQ in the presence of acetyl-CoA. Enzymatic activation was catalyzed by liver or mammary cytosol. A two-week pretreatment with 2% (wt/wt) dietary CLA had no effect on O-acetyltransferase-catalyzed IQ- or PhIP-DNA adduct formation. It is concluded, under certain conditions, that dietary CLA can lower IQ- and PhIP-DNA adduct formation. Overall, however, the major mode of action of CLA is probably by a mechanism other than the inhibition of the N-hydroxylation and subsequent O-acetylation of PhIP or IQ.

Abstract
Since conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) has structural and physiological characteristics similar to peroxisome proliferators, we hypothesized that CLA would activate peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR). We compared the effects of dietary CLA (0.0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5% by weight) with a peroxisome proliferator (0.01% Wy-14,643) in female and male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. Dietary CLA had little effect on body weight, liver weight, and hepatic peroxisome proliferation, compared to male rats fed Wy-14,643 diet. Lipid content in livers from rats fed 1.5% CLA and Wy-14,643 diets was increased (P < 0.01) when compared to rats fed control diets regardless of gender. Hepatic acyl-CoA oxidase (ACO) mRNA levels were increased 3-fold in male rats fed 1.5% CLA diet compared to rats fed control diets while Wy-14,643 supported approximately 30-fold ACO mRNA accumulation. A similar response was observed for liver fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP) mRNA. The effect of dietary treatments on hepatic PPAR-responsive genes in female rats was weaker than in male rats. The (9Z,11E)-CLA isomer activated PPAR alpha in transfected cells to a similar extent as Wy-14,643, whereas the furan-CLA metabolite was comparable to bezafibrate on activating PPAR beta. These data suggest that while CLA was able to activate PPARs it is not a peroxisome proliferator in SD rats.
