Is Higher Docetaxel Clearance in Prostate Cancer Patients Explained by Higher CYP3A? An In Vivo Phenotyping Study with Midazolam. J Clin Pharmacol 2024; 64:155-163. [PMID: 37789682 DOI: 10.1002/jcph.2362] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2023] [Accepted: 09/29/2023] [Indexed: 10/05/2023]
Abstract
Patients with prostate cancer (PCa) have a lower docetaxel exposure for both intravenous (1.8-fold) and oral administration (2.4-fold) than patients with other solid cancers, which could influence efficacy and toxicity. An altered metabolism by cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) due to castration status might explain the observed difference in docetaxel pharmacokinetics. In this in vivo phenotyping, pharmacokinetic study, CYP3A activity defined by midazolam clearance (CL) was compared between patients with PCa and male patients with other solid tumors. All patients with solid tumors who did not use CYP3A-modulating drugs were eligible for participation. Patients received 2 mg midazolam orally and 1 mg midazolam intravenously on 2 consecutive days. Plasma concentrations were measured with a validated liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method. Genotyping was performed for CYP3A4 and CYP3A5. Nine patients were included in each group. Oral midazolam CL was 1.26-fold higher in patients with PCa compared to patients with other solid tumors (geometric mean [coefficient of variation], 94.1 [33.5%] L/h vs 74.4 [39.1%] L/h, respectively; P = .08). Intravenous midazolam CL did not significantly differ between the 2 groups (P = .93). Moreover, the metabolic ratio of midazolam to 1'-hydroxy midazolam did not differ between the 2 groups for both oral administration (P = .67) and intravenous administration (P = .26). CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 genotypes did not influence midazolam pharmacokinetics. The observed difference in docetaxel pharmacokinetics between both patient groups therefore appears to be explained neither by a difference in midazolam CL nor by a difference in metabolic conversion rate of midazolam.

[PMID: 38409696 DOI: 10.2174/0113892002290055240212074758] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2023] [Revised: 01/18/2024] [Accepted: 01/31/2024] [Indexed: 02/28/2024]
Abstract
Rev-erbɑ (NR1D1) is a nuclear receptor superfamily member that plays a vital role in mammalian molecular clocks and metabolism. Rev-erbɑ can regulate the metabolism of drugs and the body's glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism, and adipogenesis. It is even one of the important regulatory factors regulating the occurrence of metabolic diseases (e.g., diabetes, fatty liver). Metabolic enzymes mediate most drug metabolic reactions in the body. Rev-erbɑ has been recognized to regulate drug metabolic enzymes (such as Cyp2b10 and Ugt1a9). Therefore, this paper mainly reviewed that Rev-erbɑ regulates I and II metabolic enzymes in the liver to affect drug pharmacokinetics. The expression of these drug metabolic enzymes (up-regulated or down-regulated) is related to drug exposure and effects/ toxicity. In addition, our discussion extends to Rev-erbɑ regulating some transporters (such as P-gp, Mrp2, and Bcrp), as they also play an essential role in drug metabolism. Finally, we briefly describe the role and mechanism of nuclear receptor Rev-erbɑ in lipid and glucose homeostasis, obesity, and metabolic disorders syndrome. In conclusion, this paper aims to understand better the role and mechanism of Rev-erbɑ in regulating drug metabolism, lipid, glucose homeostasis, obesity, and metabolic disorders syndrome, which explores how to target Rev-erbɑ to guide the design and development of new drugs and provide scientific reference for the molecular mechanism of new drug development, rational drug use, and drug interaction.

[PMID: 36839686 PMCID: PMC9966068 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15020364] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2022] [Revised: 01/15/2023] [Accepted: 01/18/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Transporter-mediated drug resistance is a major obstacle in anticancer drug delivery and a key reason for cancer drug therapy failure. Membrane solute carrier (SLC) transporters play a crucial role in the cellular uptake of drugs. The expression and function of the SLC transporters can be down-regulated in cancer cells, which limits the uptake of drugs into the tumor cells, resulting in the inefficiency of the drug therapy. In this review, we summarize the current understanding of low-SLC-transporter-expression-mediated drug resistance in different types of cancers. Recent advances in SLC-transporter-targeting strategies include the development of transporter-utilizing prodrugs and nanocarriers and the modulation of SLC transporter expression in cancer cells. These strategies will play an important role in the future development of anticancer drug therapies by enabling the efficient delivery of drugs into cancer cells.

Abstract
SLC2A9 is a voltage-driven transporter that mediates cellular uptake and efflux of various substrates such as uric acid. Here, we investigated the role of the transcription factor E4BP4 in regulating hepatic SLC2A9 in mice. Effects of E4BP4 on hepatic SLC2A9 and other transporters were examined using E4bp4 knockout (E4bp4 -/-) mice. Transporting activity of SLC2A9 was assessed using uric acid as a prototypical substrate. We found that three SLC genes (i.e., Slc2a9, Slc17a1, and Slc22a7) were up-regulated in the liver in E4bp4 -/- mice with Slc2a9 altered the most. E4bp4 ablation in mice blunted the diurnal rhythm in hepatic SLC2A9, in addition to increasing its expression. Furthermore, E4bp4 -/- mice showed increased hepatic uric acid but reduced uric acid in the plasma and urine. Consistently, allantoin, a metabolite of uric acid generated in the liver, was increased in the liver of E4bp4 -/- mice. E4bp4 ablation also protected mice from potassium oxonate-induced hyperuricemia. Moreover, negative effects of E4BP4 on SLC2A9 were validated in Hepa-1c1c7 and in primary mouse hepatocytes. In addition, according to luciferase reporter and ChIP assays, we found that E4BP4 repressed Slc2a9 transcription and expression through direct binding to a D-box element (-531 bp to -524 bp) on the P2 promoter. In conclusion, E4BP4 was identified as a novel regulator of SLC2A9 and uric acid homeostasis, which might facilitate new therapies for reducing uric acid in various conditions related to hyperuricemia. Significance Statement Our findings identify E4BP4 as a novel regulator of SLC2A9 and uric acid homeostasis, which might facilitate new therapies for reducing uric acid in various conditions related to hyperuricemia.

Biochem Pharmacol 2019; 169:113622.

Abstract
The cardiac glycoside oleandrin is a main active constituent of the botanical anti-cancer drug candidate PBI-05204, an extract of Nerium oleander. Here, we aimed to determine the circadian sensitivity of mice to oleandrin, and to investigate the role of intestinal P-gp in generating rhythmic drug toxicity. Toxicity and pharmacokinetic experiments were performed with wild-type, Bmal1iKO (intestine-specific Bmal1 knockout) and Bmal1fl/fl (control littermates of Bmal1iKO) mice. The cardiac toxicity (reflected by plasma CK-MB, LDH and cTn-I levels) varied significantly with the times of drug dosing in wild-type mice (a lower toxicity at ZT10 and more severe at ZT2/22). Dosing at ZT2 generated a higher drug exposure than ZT10, supporting a lower toxicity at ZT10. Intracellular accumulation of oleandrin (2.5-10 μM) was reduced in MDCKⅡ-MDR1 than in parental cells. MDR1 overexpression decreased the cell sensitivity to oleandrin toxicity. The net flux ratio (MDCKⅡ-MDR1 versus parental cells) was 2.9 for oleandrin. These data indicated oleandrin as a P-gp substrate. Both mdr1a mRNA and P-gp protein oscillated with the times of the day in small intestine of Bmal1fl/fl mice. Intestinal ablation of Bmal1 down-regulated mdr1a mRNA and P-gp protein, and abrogated their rhythms. Likewise, Bmal1 silencing led to down-regulated mdr1a mRNA and to a loss of its rhythmicity in serum-shocked CT26 cells. Based on luciferase reporter assays, Bmal1 regulated rhythmic mdr1a transcription through the clock output genes Hlf and E4bp4. Intestinal ablation of Bmal1 exacerbated oleandrin toxicity and enhanced drug exposure. Moreover, time dependency of toxicity and drug exposure were lost in Bmal1iKO mice. In conclusion, diurnal intestinal P-gp is a critical factor influencing daily oleandrin exposure and toxicity. Our findings have implications in minimizing oleandrin (and possibly Nerium oleander) toxicity and improving drug efficacy via dosing time optimization.

Abstract
The intestinal exporter MRP2 plays an important role in disposition and elimination of a wide range of drugs. Here, we aimed to clarify the impact of circadian clock on intestinal MRP2, and to determine the molecular mechanisms for generation of diurnal MRP2 expression. Methods: The regulatory effects of Bmal1 on intestinal MRP2 expression were assessed using intestine-specific Bmal1 knockout (Bmal1iKO ) mice and colon cancer cells. The relative mRNA and protein levels were determined by qPCR and Western blotting, respectively. Everted gut sac, cell viability and in situ intestinal perfusion experiments were performed to evaluate intestinal efflux of the MRP2 substrate methotrexate (MTX). Toxicity and pharmacokinetic experiments were performed with Bmal1iKO mice and control littermates (Bmal1fl/fl mice) after oral gavage of MTX. Transcriptional gene regulation was investigated using luciferase reporter, mobility shift and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays. Results: Bmal1iKO mice were generated by inter-crossing the mice carrying a Bmal1 exon 8 floxed allele (Bmal1fl/fl ) with Villin-Cre mice. Intestinal MRP2 expression exhibited a diurnal oscillation in Bmal1fl/fl mice with a zenith value at ZT6. Bmal1 ablation caused reductions in Mrp2 mRNA and protein levels [as well as in transport activity (measured by MTX)], and blunted their diurnal rhythms. Intestinal ablation of Bmal1 abrogated circadian time-dependency of MTX pharmacokinetics and toxicity. Bmal1/BMAL1 regulation of rhythmic Mrp2/MRP2 expression was also confirmed in the colon cancer CT26 and Caco-2 cells. Based on a combination of luciferase reporter, mobility shift and ChIP assays, we found that Dbp activated and E4bp4 repressed Mrp2 transcription via specific binding to a same D-box (-100/-89 bp) element in promoter region. Further, Bmal1 directly activated the transcription of Dbp and Rev-erbα through the E-boxes, whereas it negatively regulated E4bp4 via the transcriptional repressor Rev-erbα. Positive regulation of Mrp2 by Rev-erbα was also observed, and attained through modulation of E4bp4. Conclusion: Bmal1 coordinates temporal expressions of DBP (a MRP2 activator), REV-ERBα (an E4BP4 repressor) and E4BP4 (a MRP2 repressor), generating diurnal MRP2 expression.
