Abstract
Introduction The chestnut blight fungus, Cryphonectria parasitica, and hypovirus have been used as a model to probe the mechanism of virulence and regulation of traits important to the host fungus. Previous studies have indicated that mitochondria could be the primary target of the hypovirus. Methods In this study, we report a comprehensive and comparative study comprising mitochondrion quantification, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and respiratory efficiency, and quantitative mitochondrial proteomics of the wild-type and virus-infected strains of the chestnut blight fungus. Results and discussion Our data show that hypovirus infection increases the total number of mitochondria, lowers the general ROS level, and increases mitochondrial respiratory efficiency. Quantification of mitochondrial proteomes revealed that a set of proteins functioning in energy metabolism and mitochondrial morphogenesis, as well as virulence, were regulated by the virus. In addition, two viral proteins, p29 and p48, were found to co-fractionate with the mitochondrial membrane and matrix. These results suggest that hypovirus perturbs the host mitochondrial functions to result in hypovirulence.

Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a highly prevalent liver disease that is closely related to obesity and metabolic disorders. 5-methoxyflavone (5-MF) is a flavonoid with DNA polymerase-β inhibitory properties. In this study, we explored the effects of 5-MF on NAFLD and its potential mechanisms using oleic acid/palmitic acid-treated HepG2 cells and high-fat diet-fed C57BL/6J mice. Our results showed that 5-MF not only alleviated fat deposition and hepatic steatosis, but also improved oxidative damage. In addition, 5-MF has the effect of alleviating disorders of glucose metabolism and enhancing energy expenditure in HFD-induced obese mice. Mechanistically, reverse screening methods and molecular docking analysis were used in combination, and revealed that cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) is the target for 5-MF. Further experiments showed that 5-MF ameliorated triglycerides deposition by inhibiting the enzyme activity and protein expression of CYP1A1. In conclusion, 5-MF provides a novel strategy for the prevention and treatment of high-fat-induced NAFLD.

Abstract
Toxic Microcystis bloom is a tough environment problem worldwide. Microcystin is highly toxic and is an easily accumulated secondary metabolite of toxic Microcystis that threatens water safety. Biodegradation of microcystin by protozoan grazing is a promising and efficient biological method, but the mechanism in this process is still unclear. The present study aimed to identify potential pathways involved in resisting and degrading microcystin in flagellates through transcriptomic analyses. A total of 999 unigenes were significantly differentially expressed between treatments with flagellates Ochromonas fed on microcystin-producing Microcystis and microcystin-free Microcystis. These dysregulated genes were strongly associated with translation, carbohydrate metabolism, phagosome, and energy metabolism. Upregulated genes encoding peroxiredoxin, serine/threonine-protein phosphatase, glutathione S-transferase (GST), HSP70, and O-GlcNAc transferase were involved in resisting microcystin. In addition, genes encoding cathepsin and GST and genes related to inducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) were all upregulated, which highly probably linked with degrading microcystin in flagellates. The results of this study provided a better understanding of transcriptomic responses of flagellates to toxic Microcystis as well as highlighted a potential mechanism of biodegrading microcystin by flagellate Ochromonas, which served as a strong theoretical support for control of toxic microalgae by protozoans.

Abstract
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a chronic hepatic disease associated with excessive accumulation of lipids in hepatocytes. As the disease progresses, oxidative stress plays a pivotal role in the development of hepatic lipid peroxidation. Cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1), a subtype of the cytochrome P450 family, has been shown to be a vital modulator in production of reactive oxygen species. However, the exact role of CYP1A1 in NAFLD is still unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of CYP1A1 on lipid peroxidation in oleic acid (OA)-treated human hepatoma cells (HepG2). We found that the expression of CYP1A1 is elevated in OA-stimulated HepG2 cells. The results of siRNA transfection analysis indicated that CYP1A1-siRNA inhibited the lipid peroxidation in OA-treated HepG2 cells. Additionally, compared with siRNA-transfected and benzo[a]pyrene (BaP)-OA-induced HepG2 cells, overexpression of CYP1A1 by BaP further accelerated the lipid peroxidation in OA-treated HepG2 cells. These observations reveal a regulatory role of CYP1A1 in liver lipid peroxidation and imply CYP1A1 as a potential therapeutic target.

Abstract
Mitochondria-targeted antioxidant SkQ1 did not increase the content of cytochromes P450 in livers of rats that were given SkQ1 in drinking water for 5 days in a dose (2.5 µmol per kg body weight) that exceeded 10 times the SkQ1 therapeutic dose. SkQ1 did not affect the levels of cytochrome P450 forms CYP1A2, CYP2B6, and CYP3A4 in monolayer cultures of freshly isolated human hepatocytes, while specific inducers of these forms (omeprazole, phenobarbital, and rifampicin, respectively) significantly increased expression of the cytochromes P450 under the same conditions. We conclude that therapeutic doses of SkQ1 do not induce cytochromes P450 in liver, and the absence of the inducing effect cannot be explained by poor availability of hepatocytes to SkQ1 in vivo.

Abstract
Background Cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoenzymes are an important phase I enzyme system. In the present study, we investigated the effects of Oenanthe javanica (Blume) DC on CYP1A1 and CYP1A2. Findings Whole plants were completely dried and then divided into leaves, stems, and roots for extraction. The human liver hepatocellular carcinoma cell line HepG2 was treated with ethanol extracts of these organs for 72 h and mRNA and protein expression levels were assessed. The root extract of O. javanica significantly elevated the expression of both CYP1A1 and CYP1A2 mRNAs (by 68 and 102 %, respectively). Similarly, the CYP1A1 and CYP1A2 protein levels were increased by the root extract (by 112 and 157 %, respectively). The effects of the root extract were much more pronounced than those of leaf and stem extracts. Subsequent GC–MS analysis revealed that the levels of major coumarin derivatives, xanthotoxin, bergapten, and isopimpinellin, were significantly higher in O. javanica root extracts than in leaf or stem extracts. Of note, 5 μM xanthotoxin (the most abundant furanocoumarin in O. javanica) induced the expression of CYP1A1 mRNA as well as CYP1A2 mRNA and protein, albeit the CYP1A1 protein level was elevated only at 10 μM xanthotoxin. Conclusions Although it is difficult to extrapolate such effects to metabolic outcomes because of the inherent limitations of in vitro experiments, it is important to note that dietary exposure to O. javanica may modulate phase I enzymes and thereby affect various xenobiotic metabolism.

Abstract
The effect of SkQ1 (a mitochondria-targeted antioxidant) on the level of cytochromes P450 in rat liver was studied. It was found that administration of therapeutic dose of SkQ1 with drinking water for 5 days (250 nmol/kg of body weight per day) did not alter the level of cytochromes P450. Under the same conditions, the standard dose of phenobarbital used for the induction of cytochromes P450 caused the 2.7-fold increase in the content of these cytochromes. We conclude that therapeutic doses of SkQ1 do not induce cytochromes P450 in rats.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The P450 enzymes (P450s) mediate the biotransformation of several drugs, steroid hormones, eicosanoids, cholesterol, vitamins, fatty acids and bile acids, many of which affect cardiovascular homeostasis. Experimental studies have demonstrated that several P450s modulate important steps in the pathogenesis of ischemic heart disease (IHD). AREAS COVERED This article discusses the current knowledge on i) the expression of P450s in cardiovascular and renal tissues; ii) the role of P450s in the pathophysiology of IHD, in particular the modulation of blood pressure and cardiac hypertrophy, coronary arterial tone, ischemia-reperfusion injury and the metabolism of cardiovascular drugs; iii) the available evidence from observational studies on the association between P450 gene polymorphisms and risk of myocardial infarction (MI); and iv) suggestions for further research in this area. EXPERT OPINION P450s exert important modulatory effects in experimental models of IHD and MI. However, observational studies have provided conflicting results on the association between P450 genetic polymorphisms and MI. Further, adequately powered studies are required to ascertain the biological and clinical impact of P450s on clinical IHD end-points, that is, fatal and nonfatal MI, revascularization and long-term outcomes post MI. Pharmacogenetic substudies of recently completed cardiovascular clinical trials might represent an alternative strategy in this context.

Nrf2-dependent and Nrf2-independent induction of phase 2 detoxifying and antioxidant enzymes during keratinocyte differentiation. Arch Dermatol Res 2012; 304:387-95.

Abstract
As antioxidant enzymes can be actively modulated during keratinocyte (KC) differentiation, this study was aimed to evaluate the modulation of a group of phase 2 detoxifying and antioxidant enzymes (phase 2 enzymes) during KC differentiation. In postconfluence-induced differentiation model of KC, heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), NADP(H):quinone oxidoreductase-1 (NQO-1), and glutathione S-transferase pi (GSTpi) were up-regulated at a transcriptional level. In Western blot analysis, the phase 2 enzymes were up-regulated by H(2)O(2), but down-regulated by N-acetyl cysteine, indicating the active role of reactive oxygen species for their expression during KC differentiation. When a redox-sensitive NF-E2 related factor-2 (Nrf2), a key transcriptional factor for phase 2 enzymes, was knocked down by small interfering RNA transfection in differentiated KCs, only NQO-1 was down-regulated in both mRNA and protein levels. In human skin, expression levels of the phase 2 enzymes were up-regulated in the differentiated KC in the normal epidermis and keratotic foci in squamous cell carcinoma, further supporting the differentiation-dependent expression of phase 2 enzymes in vivo. This study demonstrates that a group of phase 2 enzymes are modulated during KC differentiation via either Nrf2-dependent (NQO-1) or Nrf2-independent (HO-1 and GSTpi) ways.

Abstract
Linkages between cold acclimation and oxidative stress in fishes are unclear and contradictory results have been published. We sought to determine whether oxidative stress occurs during cold acclimation of threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus), and, if so, when it occurs and whether it varies among tissues. Fish were warm (20°C) or cold (8°C) acclimated for 9 weeks, and harvested during acclimation. Oxidative stress was assessed in oxidative and glycolytic muscles and liver by measuring levels of protein carbonyls and glutathione, and the activity and transcript levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD). Protein carbonyl levels increased in liver after 1 week at 8°C and then decreased after week 4, and remained unchanged in glycolytic and oxidative muscle. Glutathione levels increased in liver on day 3 of cold acclimation and may minimize oxidative stress later during acclimation. When measured at a common temperature, the activity of SOD increased in oxidative and glycolytic muscles on day 2 of cold acclimation, and on day 3 in liver, and remained elevated in all tissues compared with warm-acclimated animals. When measured at the acclimation temperature, the activity of SOD was significantly higher only at week 9 in oxidative muscle of cold-acclimated stickleback compared with warm-acclimated fish, and remained constant in glycolytic muscle and liver. Increased SOD activity in oxidative muscle may be required to prevent oxidative stress brought about by increased mitochondrial density. In both muscle and liver, SOD activity increased independently of an increase in transcript level, suggesting post-translational modifications regulate SOD activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND NADP(H):quinone oxidoreductase-1 (NQO-1) is known for its protective role in skin carcinogenesis, but the expression of NQO-1 during keratinocyte (KC) differentiation has not been studied. OBJECTIVE The purpose of the current study was to evaluate modulation of NQO-1 and NF-E2-related factor-2 (Nrf2) during KC differentiation. METHODS Normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEKs) were induced to differentiation by prolonged culture after confluency (postconfluence). RESULTS NQO-1 was induced at the late stage of differentiation of NHEKs (7th day of postconfluence). The expression of postconfluence-induced NQO-1 was stimulated by 0.1 mM H(2)O(2), but attenuated by 5 mM N-acetylcysteine, implying that reactive oxygen species (ROS) are implicated in the expression of NQO-1 in differentiated KCs. Nrf2 was up-regulated at the earlier than NQO-1 induction (3rd day of postconfluence). The Nrf2-dependent expression of NQO-1 was further supported by Nrf2-siRNA experiments. A confocal study confirmed the differentiation-dependent induction and activation of NOQ-1 and Nrf-2 in NHEKs. Immunohistochemistry showed that NQO-1 was accentuated in the upper epidermal layers, supporting the notion that differentiation-dependent NQO-1 expression is functional in human skin in vivo. CONCLUSION These results demonstrate that NQO-1 is modulated during KC differentiation via Nrf2 pathway, suggesting the active role of NQO-1 in the differentiating epidermis.

Abstract
DNA micorarray was used to analyze hepatic transcriptional profile of male mice (Mus musculus) after 35-d intragastric perfusion treatment with purified terephthalic acid (PTA) manufacturing wastewater. Haematological analysis demonstrated that the levels of glutamyl transferase and lactate dehydrogenase in serum were significantly decreased, and DNA microarray showed that a total of 306 genes were differentially expressed in PTA wastewater-treated mice. According to Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes pathway database, the differentially expressed genes were mainly grouped to metabolic pathways (58 genes) and biological processes (101 genes). PTA wastewater had significant impacts upon metabolisms of lipid, carbohydrate, amino acid, vitamin and nucleotide. Several signal transduction pathways are most susceptible to PTA wastewater, including mitogen-activated protein kinases, Janus kinase/signal transducers and activators of transcription and calcium signaling pathways. Potential public health problems may arise from the discharge of PTA wastewater into the environment.

Abstract
It is shown that a stable nitroxyl radical, 4-cyano-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl, forms a complex with cytochrome P4502B4 by analogy with the second type substrates by joining directly to pentacoordinate heme iron. The bound radical is inaccessible to water-soluble paramagnetic ions, which confirms its localization in a hydrophobic pocket near the heme. Benzphetamine and N,N-dimethylaniline, the first-type nonpolar substrates, induce conformational changes of the spin-labeled hemoprotein which are evidently accompanied by an increase in the volume of the pocket resulting in emergence of contact with aqueous phase, and the heme-bound spin label becomes accessible to water-soluble paramagnetics. In this case potassium ferricyanide broadens the spin-labeled cytochrome signal and, as a result, lowers the amplitudes of the spectral components. Similar changes were registered at non-micellar concentrations of nonionic detergent Emulgen 913, whose activating effect on hydroxylation reactions is associated, as we showed previously, with its presence in the CYP2B4 active site simultaneously with substrates.

Abstract
Recent research has unraveled a number of unexpected functions of the pyridine nucleotides. In this review, we will highlight the variety of known physiological roles of NADP. In its reduced form (NADPH), this molecule represents a universal electron donor, not only to drive biosynthetic pathways. Perhaps even more importantly, NADPH is the unique provider of reducing equivalents to maintain or regenerate the cellular detoxifying and antioxidative defense systems. The roles of NADPH in redox sensing and as substrate for NADPH oxidases to generate reactive oxygen species further extend its scope of functions. NADP(+), on the other hand, has acquired signaling functions. Its conversion to second messengers in calcium signaling may have critical impact on important cellular processes. The generation of NADP by NAD kinases is a key determinant of the cellular NADP concentration. The regulation of these enzymes may, therefore, be critical to feed the diversity of NADP-dependent processes adequately. The increasing recognition of the multiple roles of NADP has thus led to exciting new insights in this expanding field.

Abstract
Increasing evidence suggests that polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) such as benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) are localized to the mitochondria. Because the toxic effects of many PAHs are the result of metabolism by cytochrome P4501A (CYP1A), it is important to investigate whether active forms of these enzymes can be identified in the mitochondria. In this study, we identified mitochondrial P450s with a monoclonal antibody against scup (Stenotomus chrysops) CYP1A in the isolated mitochondrial fraction of the liver from adult male mummichog (Fundulus heteroclitus) livers. The size of the protein in the mitochondria was similar to that of microsomal CYP1A. Fish dosed with 10mg/kg BaP had increased EROD activity in the mitochondrial fraction compared to controls. In mummichog larvae dosed with 100 microg/L BaP and 100 microg/L benzo[k]fluoranthene, CYP1A protein levels as well as enzyme activity were elevated. However, fish from a PAH-polluted Superfund site (Elizabeth River, Portsmouth VA) showed recalcitrant mitochondrial CYP1A protein levels and enzyme activity in a similar manner to microsomal CYP1A.

Abstract
The cytochrome P450 monooxygenase system (CYP) is a multigene superfamily of heme-thiolate enzymes, which are important in the metabolism of foreign and endogenous compounds. Genetic variations, drug interactions, or pathophysiological factors can lead to reduced, absent, or increased enzymatic activity. This altered CYP activity greatly influences an individual's response to therapeutic treatment. What is not known is the impact of these changes on the many functional roles of CYP in physiological and pathophysiological processes of the heart. Many extrahepatic tissues, like heart, contain active P450 enzymes but lack information regarding their role in cellular injury or homeostasis. Much of our current knowledge about cardiac CYP has been limited to studies investigating the role of fatty acid metabolites in heart. Traditional risk factors including diabetes, smoking, and hypertension have well established links to cardiovascular disease. And new evidence strongly suggests exposure to chemicals and other environmental agents has a profound impact on the cardiovascular system. These risk factors can independently affect the expression and activity of CYP enzymes. Therefore, altered CYP activity is important from a detoxification as well as a bioactivation perspective. Considering CYP, interactions are greatly dependent on inherited differences or acquired changes in enzyme activity further research into their potential impact on pathogenesis, risk assessment, and therapy of heart disease is warranted. This review explores the expression of CYP isoforms, their functional roles, and the effects of genetic variation in the heart.

Histone deacetylase inhibitors valproate and trichostatin A are toxic to neuroblastoma cells and modulate cytochrome P450 1A1, 1B1 and 3A4 expression in these cells. Interdiscip Toxicol 2009; 2:205-10. [PMID: 21217856 PMCID: PMC2984103 DOI: 10.2478/v10102-009-0019-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2009] [Revised: 08/26/2009] [Accepted: 08/27/2009] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Histone deacetylase inhibitors such as valproic acid (VPA) and trichostatin A (TSA) were shown to exert antitumor activity. Here, the toxicity of both drugs to human neuroblastoma cell lines was investigated using MTT test, and IC50 values for both compounds were determined. Another target of this work was to evaluate the effects of both drugs on expression of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A1, 1B1 and 3A4 enzymes, which are known to be expressed in neuroblastoma cells. A malignant subset of neuroblastoma cells, so-called N-type cells (UKF-NB-3 cells) and the more benign S-type neuroblastoma cells (UKF-NB-4 and SK-N-AS cell lines) were studied from both two points of view. VPA and TSA inhibited the growth of neuroblastoma cells in a dose-dependent manner. The IC50 values ranging from 1.0 to 2.8 mM and from 69.8 to 129.4 nM were found for VPA and TSA, respectively. Of the neuroblastoma tested here, the N-type UKF-NB-3 cell line was the most sensitive to both drugs. The different effects of VPA and TSA were found on expression of CYP1A1, 1B1 and 3A4 enzymes in individual neuroblastoma cells tested in the study. Protein expression of all these CYP enzymes in the S-type SK-N-AS cell line was not influenced by either of studied drugs. On the contrary, in another S-type cell line, UKF-NB-4, VPA and TSA induced expression of CYP1A1, depressed levels of CYP1B1 and had no effect on expression levels of CYP3A4 enzyme. In the N-type UKF-NB-3 cell line, the expression of CYP1A1 was strongly induced, while that of CYP1B1 depressed by VPA and TSA. VPA also induced the expression of CYP3A4 in this neuroblastoma cell line.
