Abstract
A ligand-accessible space in the CYP2C8 active site was reconstituted as a fused grid-based Template∗ with the use of structural data of the ligands. An evaluation system of CYP2C8-mediated metabolism has been developed on Template with the introduction of the idea of Trigger-residue initiated ligand-movement and fastening. Reciprocal comparison of the data of simulation on Template with experimental results suggested a unified way of the interaction of CYP2C8 and its ligands through the simultaneous plural-contact with Rear-wall of Template. CYP2C8 was expected to have a room for ligands between vertically standing parallel walls termed Facial-wall and Rear-wall. Both the walls were separated by a distance corresponding to 1.5-Ring (grid) diameter size, which was termed Width-gauge. The ligand sittings were stabilized through contacts with Facial-wall and the left-side borders of Template including specific Position 29, left-side border of Rings I/J, or Left-end, after Trigger-residue initiated ligand-movement. Trigger-residue movement is suggested to force ligands to stay firmly in the active site and then to initiate CYP2C8 reactions. Simulation experiments for over 350 reactions of CYP2C8 ligands supported the system established.

Abstract
Detailed estimation of cytochrome P450 (CYP)-mediated metabolisms of medicine and other chemicals is necessary for the efficacy and safety assessments. Data on the metabolisms mediated by minor CYP enzymes like CYP2C18 are often not available in metabolisms and safety assessments of chemicals except for medical drugs developed recently. A ligand-accessible space in the active site of human CYP2C18 was thus reconstituted as a fused grid-based Template with the use of structural data of its ligands. An evaluation system of CYP2C18-mediated metabolism was then developed on Template with the introduction of the idea of movement and fastening of ligands after Trigger-residue contact. Reciprocal comparison of the data of simulations on Template with experimental results suggested a unified way of the interaction of CYP2C18, in similar to the CYP2C8 interaction (Drug Metab Pharmacokinet 2023, in press). These experiments also displayed the roles of initial Trigger-residue-localizations on their distinct catalyses among human CYP2C enzymes. Simulation experiments for over 130 reactions of CYP2C18 ligands supported the system established.

Abstract
Understanding of metabolic processes is a key factor to evaluate biological effects of carcinogen and mutagens. Applicability of fused-grid Template* systems of CYP enzymes (Drug Metab Pharmacokinet 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022) was tested for three phenomena. (1) Possible causal relationships between CYP-mediated metabolisms of β-naphthoflavone and 3-methylcholanthrene and the high inducibility of CYP enzymes were examined. Selective involvement of non-constitutive CYP1A1, but not constitutive CYP1A2, was suggested on the oxidative metabolisms of efficient inducers, β-naphthoflavone and 3-methylcholanthrene. These results supported the view of the causal link of their high inducibility with their inefficient metabolisms due to the lack of CYP1A1 in livers at early periods after the administration of both inducers. (2) Clear differences exist between human and rodent CYP1A1 enzymes on their catalyses with heterocyclic amines, dioxins and polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Reciprocal comparison of simulation results with experimental data suggested the rodent specific site and distinct sitting-preferences of ligands on Template for human and rodent CYP1A1 enzymes. (3) Enhancement of metabolic activation and co-mutagenicity have been known as phenomena associated with Salmonella mutagenesis assay. Both the phenomena were examined on CYP-Templates in ways of simultaneous bi-molecule bindings of distinct ligands as trigger and pro-metabolized molecules. α-Naphthoflavone and norharman served consistently as trigger-molecules to support the oxidations of PAHs and arylamines sitting simultaneously as pro-metabolized molecules on Templates of CYP1A1, CYP1A2 and CYP3A4. These CYP-Template simulation systems with deciphering capabilities are promising tools to understand the mechanism basis of metabolic activations and to support confident judgements in safety assessments.

Abstract
A Template system for a prediction of human CYP2E1-mediated reactions (Drug Metab Rev 2011) has been refined with the introduction of ideas of Trigger-residue and the residue-initiated movement of ligands in the active site. The refined system also includes ideas of bi-molecule binding and angled-placement, which allow to sit diverse types of ligands on Template. With the use of these ideas in common with other Template systems for human CYP1A1, CYP1A2 and CYP3A4 (Drug Metab Pharmacokinet 2016, 2017, 2019, and 2020), 349 reactions of 192 distinct chemicals published as CYP2E1 ligands were examined in the refined system. Verifications of good and poor substrates, regioselectivity and also inhibitory interaction were available faithfully for these ligands from their placements on the refined Template and rules for interaction modes, accompanied with their deciphering information to lead to the judgements. The refined CYP2E1 Template system will thus offer more reliable estimations of human CYP2E1 catalysis toward ligands of diverse structures.

Abstract
Starting from established CYP3A4 Template (DMPK. 2019, and 2020), CYP3A5 and CYP3A7 Templates have been constructed to be reliable tools for verification of their distinct catalytic properties. A distinct occupancy was observed on CYP3A4-selective ligands, but not on the non-selective ligands, in simulation experiments. These ligands often invade into Bay-1 region during the migration from Entrance to Site of oxidation in simulation experiments. These results offered an idea of the distinct localization of Bay-1 residue on CYP3A5 Template, in which the Bay-1 residue stayed closely to Template border. The idea also accounted for the higher oxidation rates of CYP3A5, than of CYP3A4, of noscapine and schisantherin E through their enhanced sitting-stabilization. Typical CYP3A7 substrates such as zonisamide and retinoic acids took their placements without occupying a left side region of Template for their metabolisms. In turn, the occupancies of the left-side region were inevitably observed among poor ligands of CYP3A7. Altered extent of IJK-Interaction or localization of a specific residue at the left-side would thus explain distinct catalytic properties of CYP3A7 on Template. These data suggest the alteration of each one of Template region, from CYP3A4 Template, led to the distinct catalytic properties of CYP3A5 and CYP3A7 forms.

Abstract
Catalytic interactions of CYP3A4 with large-size ligands have been studied on the Template established in our previous studies using polyaromatic hydrocarbon and steroid ligands (DMPK 34: 113-125 and 351-364 2019 and in press 2020). Typical CYP3A4-substrates including erythromycin, cyclosporin A (ca.1200 Da), ivermectin B1a and taxanes were applied successfully and regioselective metabolisms of these ligands were reconstituted faithfully on Template. These results suggest the applicability of CYP3A4 Template throughout broadened sizes of CYP3A4 ligands. Macrolide antibiotics showed distinct degrees of tight sittings in Width-gauge, a tool for accommodation measure. The observed differences were associated with different inhibitory/inactivation potentials of troleandomycin, erythromycin, clarithromycin and azithromycin, suggesting CYP3A4 Template also as a tool for drug-interaction mechanisms. Slight expansion of Template area was made at near Site of oxidation from simulation results of antitumor agent, rilpivirine, in the present study. Ligand entry from left side of Template is also suggested from macrolide interactions. Broadened applicability of the refined CYP3A4 Template were assured with experiments with various large-size ligands.

Abstract
This is a summary report of FSCJ (Food Safety Commission of Japan) workshop entitled "Future Challenges and Opportunities in Developing Methodologies for Improved Human Risk Assessments, which held in November 2018. Scientific advancements have facilitated the development of new methods for chemical risk assessments with the expansion of toxicological databases. They are promising tools to overcome challenges, such as situations of data insufficiency, estimation of internal exposure and prediction of hazard, and enable us to improve our human health risk assessment in food safety. In this review, current understandings on developments in chemical risk assessments, especially focusing on Threshold of Toxicological Concern (TTC) approach, non-testing and in-silico approaches (e.g. read-across), and physiologically based pharmacokinetics (PBPK) modeling are discussed as possible promising tools. It also discusses future challenges and opportunities regarding social environment buildings in which all stakeholders including scientific experts, risk managers and consumers are able to accept these new risk assessment technologies. International collaboration would increase and enhance the efficiency in forming innovative ideas and in translating them into regulatory practices. It would strengthen technical capacity of experts who contribute to regulatory decisions and also promote acceptance of new methodologies among stakeholders. Cross-sectional collaboration such as making good use of human data of pharmaceutical drugs will facilitate a development of fresh tools for food safety domains. Once a new methodology is recognized in risk assessment agencies as implementable, it needs to be acknowledged and accepted by wider range of different stakeholders. Such stakeholders include scientific experts who conduct risk assessment for the risk assessment agencies, food industries and consumers. Transparency in the risk assessment work performed by regulatory agencies should strengthen their credibility and promote the acceptance of risk assessment including the new methodologies used in it. At the same time, efforts should be continued by regulatory agencies to further communicate with consumers about the concept of risk-based assessment as well as the concept of uncertainty.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cytochrome P450 (CYP, P450) 3A4 is involved in the metabolism of 50% of drugs and its catalytic activity in vivo is not explained only by hepatic expression levels. We previously demonstrated that UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 2B7 suppressed CYP3A4 activity through an interaction. In the present study, we target UGT1A9 as another candidate modulator of CYP3A4. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH We prepared co-expressed enzymes using the baculovirus-insect cell expression system and compared CYP3A4 activity in the presence and absence of UGT1A9. Wistar rats were treated with dexamethasone and liver microsomes were used to elucidate the role of CYP3A-UGT1A interactions. KEY RESULTS UGT1A9 and UGT2B7 interacted with and suppressed CYP3A4. Kinetic analyses showed that both of the UGTs significantly reduced Vmax of CYP3A4 activity. In addition, C-terminal truncated mutants of UGT1A9 and UGT2B7 still retained the suppressive capacity. Dexamethasone treatment induced hepatic CYP3As and UGT1As at different magnitudes. Turnover of CYP3A was enhanced about twofold by this treatment. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS The changes of kinetic parameters suggested that UGT1A9 suppressed CYP3A4 activity with almost the same mechanism as UGT2B7. The luminal domain of UGTs contains the suppressive interaction site(s), whereas the C-terminal domain may contribute to modulating suppression in a UGT isoform-specific manner. CYP3A-UGT1A interaction seemed to be disturbed by dexamethasone treatment and the suppression was partially cancelled. CYP3A4-UGT interactions would help to better understand the causes of inter/intra-individual differences in CYP3A4 activity.

Abstract
Using over fifty steroidal ligands, CYP3A4 Template system established in our previous study (DMPK 34: 113-125, 2019) has been evaluated for the applicability for prediction of regioselective metabolisms of steroids in the present study. Plural regional interactions near Site of Oxidation of CYP3A4 (Slide-down and Adaptation) are newly defined for steroid ligands in addition to previously characterized Trigger- and IJL-interactions on Template. Interaction of steroids at ring-A with CYP3A4 residue (Front-residue), at the facial side of Ring B of Template, determined the availability of ligand sitting at Rings A and B of Template. Steroids having 3-one-4-ene structures, which are not stacked on Front-residue, thus slide down for their 6-oxidations. Some steroids with 3β-ol structures undergo the further right-side movement (Adaptation) for their 7-oxidations. Similar overpassing phenomena are also expected for steroid 15/16-oxidations and 2/1-oxidations. Allowable width on ligand accommodation was also defined as Width-gauge of Template. Reciprocal comparison of sittings of steroids on Template with experimental data offered idea of CYP3A4-mediated oxidations of steroids through seven distinct types of placements on Template and of the relationship with their usage abundance. The present system would offer practical way for structural identification and verification of CYP3A4-mediated metabolisms of various types of steroids.

Abstract
Our previous studies have demonstrated functional protein-protein interactions between cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A and UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT). However, the role of carbohydrate chains of UGTs in the interaction with CYP is not well understood. To address this issue, we examined whether CYP3A1 modulates the function of UGT2B3 which lacks potential glycosylation sites. We also examined whether the introduction of N-glycosylation to UGT2B3 affects CYP3A-dependent modulation of UGT function. To introduce a potential glycosylation site into UGT2B3, Ser 316 of UGT2B3 was substituted with Asn by site-directed mutagenesis. A baculovirus-Sf-9 cell system for expressing CYP3A1 and UGT2B3/UGT2B3(S316N) was established using a Bac-to-Bac system. Glycosylation of UGT2B3(S316N) was demonstrated in this expression system. The microsomal activity of recombinant UGT was determined using 4-methylumbelliferone as a substrate. The effect of CYP3A1 co-expression on UGT function was examined by comparing the kinetic profiles between single (UGT alone) and double expression (UGT plus CYP) systems. The kinetics of the two expression systems fitted a Michaelis-Menten equation. When the 4-MU concentration was varied, co-expression of CYP3A1 lowered the Vmax of UGT2B3-mediated conjugation. Conversely, for UGT2B3(S316N), the Vmax in the dual expression system was higher than that in the single expression system. The data obtained demonstrate that the introduction of N-glycosylation to UGT2B3 alters its sensitivity to CYP3A1-dependent modulation while CYP3A1 enhanced UGT2B3(S316N) activity, and wild-type UGT2B3 was suppressed by CYP3A1. These data suggest that N-glycosylation of UGT is one of the determinants regulating the interaction between CYP3A and UGT.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance-associated protein 3 (MRP3) is a basolaterally localized transporter in the liver and contributes to the transport of various metabolites such as conjugates of endogenous compounds and drugs from hepatocytes. MRP3 expression in the human liver is low under normal physiologic conditions but is induced by drug treatment. Although several studies have identified a region necessary for the basal transcription of MRP3, no region that responds to drugs has been reported. To identify the xenobiotic-responsive elements of MRP3, we constructed a luciferase reporter plasmid containing the MRP3 5'-flanking region up to -10 kb upstream from the transcription start site. Among typical nuclear receptor ligands, clotrimazole dramatically enhanced MRP3 reporter activity in HepG2 cells, whereas rifampicin had no effect. We then conducted MRP3 reporter assays with deletion or mutation constructs to identify a clotrimazole-responsive element. The element was located approximately -6.8 kb upstream from the MRP3 transcription start site. Overexpression of the pregnane X receptor did not enhance clotrimazole-mediated transcription. We found that clotrimazole was toxic to HepG2 cells and we therefore investigated whether mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation is involved in the transactivation of MRP3 by clotrimazole. p38 MAPK inhibitor SB203580 [4-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(4-methylsulfinylphenyl)-5-(4-pyridyl)1H-imidazole] suppressed MRP3 mRNA expression induced by clotrimazole, whereas c-Jun N-terminal kinase inhibitor SP600125 (1,9-pyrazoloanthrone) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase inhibitor PD98059 [2-(2-amino-3-methoxyphenyl)-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one] did not. Phosphorylated p38 MAPK was detected in HepG2 cells treated with clotrimazole. These results suggest that activation of the p38 MAPK pathway induces the transcriptional activation of MRP3.

Abstract
Aim To examine whether strict control of clinical trial conditions could reduce apparent differences of pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters among ethnic groups. Methods Open‐label, single dose PK studies of moxifloxacin, simvastatin and meloxicam were conducted in healthy male subjects from three East Asian populations (Japanese, Chinese and Koreans) and one Caucasian population as a control. These three drugs were selected because differences in PK parameters have been reported, even though the backgrounds of these East Asian populations are similar. Moxifloxacin (400 mg) was administered orally to 20 subjects, and plasma and urine levels of moxifloxacin and its metabolite (M2) were measured. Simvastatin (20 mg) was given to 40 subjects, and plasma levels of simvastatin and simvastatin acid were measured. Meloxicam (7.5 mg) was given to 30 subjects and its plasma concentration was determined. Intrinsic factors (polymorphism of UGT1A1 for moxifloxacin, SLCO1B1 for simvastatin, and CYP2C9 for meloxicam) were also examined. Results AUCinf values for moxifloxacin, simvastatin and meloxicam showed no significant differences among the East Asian groups. Cmax values of moxifloxacin and simvastatin, but not meloxicam, showed significant differences. There were no significant differences of data for M2 or simvastatin acid. Genetic analysis identified significant differences in the frequencies of relevant polymorphisms, but these differences did not affect the PK parameters observed. Conclusions Although there were some differences in PK parameters among the three East Asian groups, the present study performed under strictly controlled conditions did not reproduce the major ethnic differences observed in previous studies.

Abstract
There is a large discrepancy between the interindividual difference in the hepatic expression level of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) and that of drug clearance mediated by this enzyme. However, the reason for this discrepancy remains largely unknown. Because CYP3A4 interacts with UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 2B7 (UGT2B7) to alter its function, the reverse regulation is expected to modulate CYP3A4-catalyzed activity. To address this issue, we investigated whether protein-protein interaction between CYP3A4 and UGT2B7 modulates CYP3A4 function. For this purpose, we coexpressed CYP3A4, NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase, and UGT2B7 using a baculovirus-insect cell system. The activity of CYP3A4 was significantly suppressed by coexpressing UGT2B7, and this suppressive effect was lost when UGT2B7 was replaced with calnexin (CNX). These results strongly suggest that UGT2B7 negatively regulates CYP3A4 activity through a protein-protein interaction. To identify the UGT2B7 domain associated with CYP3A4 suppression we generated 12 mutants including chimeras with CNX. Mutations introduced into the UGT2B7 carboxyl-terminal transmembrane helix caused a loss of the suppressive effect on CYP3A4. Thus, this hydrophobic region is necessary for the suppression of CYP3A4 activity. Replacement of the hydrophilic end of UGT2B7 with that of CNX produced a similar suppressive effect as the native enzyme. The data using chimeric protein demonstrated that the internal membrane-anchoring region of UGT2B7 is also needed for the association with CYP3A4. These data suggest that 1) UGT2B7 suppresses CYP3A4 function, and 2) both hydrophobic domains located near the C terminus and within UGT2B7 are needed for interaction with CYP3A4.

Abstract
Antibacterial drug treatment increases the bile acid pool size and hepatic bile acid concentration through the elevation of hepatic bile acid synthesis. However, the involvement of intestinal bile acid absorption in the increased bile acid pool size remains unclear. To determine whether intestinal bile acid absorption contributes to the increased bile acid pool in mice treated with antibacterial drugs, we evaluated the levels of bile acid transporter proteins and the capacity of intestinal bile acid absorption. Ileal apical sodium-dependent bile acid transporter (ASBT) mRNA and protein levels were significantly increased in ampicillin (ABPC)-treated mice, whereas organic solute transporter α (OSTα) mRNA levels, but not protein levels, significantly decreased in mice. Similar alterations in the expression levels of bile acid transporters were observed in mice treated with bacitracin/neomycin/streptomycin. The capacity for intestinal bile acid absorption was evaluated by an in situ loop method. Increased ileal absorption of taurochenodeoxycholic acid was observed in mice treated with ABPC. These results suggest that intestinal bile acid absorption is elevated in an ASBT-dependent manner in mice treated with antibacterial drugs.

Abstract
Sterol regulatory element-binding protein-2 (SREBP-2) is a basic helix-loop-helix-leucine zipper transcription factor that positively regulates transcription of target genes involved in cholesterol metabolism. In the present study, we have investigated a possible involvement of SREBP-2 in human intestinal expression of fibroblast growth factor (FGF)19, which is an endocrine hormone involved in the regulation of lipid and glucose metabolism. Overexpression of constitutively active SREBP-2 decreased FGF19 mRNA levels in human colon-derived LS174T cells. In reporter assays, active SREBP-2 overexpression suppressed GW4064/FXR-mediated increase in reporter activities in regions containing the IR-1 motif (+848 to +5200) in the FGF19 gene. The suppressive effect disappeared in reporter activities in the region containing the IR-1 motif when the mutation was introduced into the IR-1 motif. In electrophoretic mobility shift assays, binding of the FXR/retinoid X receptor α heterodimer to the IR-1 motif was attenuated by adding active SREBP-2, but SREBP-2 binding to the IR-1 motif was not observed. In chromatin immunoprecipitation assays, specific binding of FXR to the IR-1-containing region of the FGF19 gene (+3214 to +3404) was increased in LS174T cells by treatment with cholesterol and 25-hydroxycholesterol. Specific binding of SREBP-2 to FXR was observed in glutathione-S-transferase (GST) pull-down assays. These results suggest that SREBP-2 negatively regulates the FXR-mediated transcriptional activation of the FGF19 gene in human intestinal cells.

Abstract
The ileal apical sodium-dependent bile acid transporter (ASBT or SLC10A2) has a crucial role in intestinal bile acid absorption. We previously reported that enterobacteria-mediated bile acid conversion was involved in the alteration of ileal ASBT expression levels. In the present study, to investigate the hypothesis that ileal ASBT protein levels are post-translationally regulated by enterobacteria-associated bile acids, alteration of ileal ASBT protein levels was analysed in mice 12 h and 24 h after anti-bacterial drug ampicillin (ABPC) treatment (100 mg/kg, single shot) that altered bile acid composition in the intestinal lumen. In ABPC-treated mice, enterobacteria-biotransformed bile acid, taurodeoxycholic acid (TDCA) and cholic acid (CA) levels were decreased, whereas taurocholic acid (TCA) and tauro-β-muricholic acid levels were increased in the intestinal lumen. Ileal ASBT protein levels in brush-border membrane vesicles (BBMVs), but not ileal Asbt mRNA levels, were significantly increased in the ABPC-treated mice, and the extent of ubiquitination of the ileal ASBT protein was reduced in the ABPC-treated mice. Treatment of ABPC-pretreated mice with CA or TDCA, but not TCA, significantly decreased ileal ASBT protein levels and increased the extent of ubiquitination of ileal ASBT protein. Treatment of mice with the lysosome inhibitor, chloroquine, or the proteasome inhibitor, MG132, increased ileal ASBT protein levels in BBMVs. CA-mediated reduction of ASBT protein levels in the ABPC-pretreated mice was attenuated by co-treatment with chloroquine or MG132. These results suggest that ileal ASBT protein is degraded by a ubiquitin-dependent pathway in response to enterobacteria-associated bile acids.

Abstract
CYP3A4 is a major drug-metabolizing enzyme in humans, whose expression levels show large inter-individual variations and are associated with several factors such as genetic polymorphism, physiological and disease status, diet and xenobiotic exposure. Nuclear receptor pregnane X receptor (PXR) is a key transcription factor for the xenobiotic-mediated transcription of CYP3A4. In this study, we have investigated a possible involvement of liver X receptor α (LXRα), a critical regulator of cholesterol homeostasis, in the hepatic CYP3A4 expression since several recent reports suggest the involvement of CYP3A enzymes in the cholesterol metabolism in humans and mice. Reporter assays using wild-type and mutated CYP3A4 luciferase reporter plasmids and electrophoretic mobility shift assays revealed that LXRα up-regulated CYP3A4 through the known DNA elements critical for the PXR-dependent CYP3A4 transcription, suggesting LXRα as a positive regulator for the CYP3A4 expression and a crosstalk between PXR and LXRα in the expression. In fact, reporter assays showed that LXRα activation attenuated the PXR-dependent CYP3A4 transcription. Moreover, a PXR agonist treatment-dependent increase in CYP3A4 mRNA levels was suppressed by co-treatment with an LXRα agonist in human primary hepatocytes and HepaRG cells. The suppression was not observed when LXRα expression was knocked-down in HepaRG cells. In conclusion, the present results suggest that sterol-sensitive LXRα positively regulates the basal expression of CYP3A4 but suppresses the xenobiotic/PXR-dependent CYP3A4 expression in human hepatocytes. Therefore, nutritional, physiological and disease conditions affecting LXRα might be one of the determinants for the basal and xenobiotic-responsive expression of CYP3A4 in human livers.

Abstract
Xenobiotic-responsive nuclear receptors pregnane X receptor (PXR), constitutive active/androstane receptor (CAR) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) play pivotal roles in the metabolic functions of the liver such as xenobiotics detoxification and energy metabolism. While CAR or PPARα activation induces hepatocyte proliferation and hepatocarcinogenesis in rodent models, it remains unclear whether PXR activation also shows such effects. In the present study, we have investigated the role of PXR in the xenobiotic-induced hepatocyte proliferation with or without CAR activation by 1,4-bis[2-(3,5-dichloropyridyloxy)]benzene (TCPOBOP) and phenobarbital, or PPARα activation by Wy-14643 in mice. Treatment with TCPOBOP or phenobarbital increased the percentage of Ki-67-positive nuclei as well as mRNA levels of cell proliferation-related genes in livers as expected. On the other hand, treatment with the PXR activator pregnenolone 16α-carbonitrile (PCN) alone showed no such effects. Surprisingly, PCN co-treatment significantly augmented the hepatocyte proliferation induced by CAR activation with TCPOBOP or phenobarbital in wild-type mice but not in PXR-deficient mice. Intriguingly, PXR activation also augmented the hepatocyte proliferation induced by Wy-14643 treatment. Moreover, PCN treatment increased the RNA content of hepatocytes, suggesting the induction of G0/G1 transition, and reduced mRNA levels of Cdkn1b and Rbl2, encoding suppressors of cell cycle initiation. Our present findings indicate that xenobiotic-induced hepatocyte proliferation mediated by CAR or PPARα is enhanced by PXR co-activation despite that PXR activation alone does not cause the cell proliferation in mouse livers. Thus PXR may play a novel and unique role in the hepatocyte/liver hyperplasia upon exposure to xenobiotics.

Abstract
Hypothyroidism induced by xenobiotic treatment was analyzed for possible underlying mechanism(s) on the basis of different responses of the thyroid gland and the liver, using a newly-created database of repeated-dose toxicity of 500 chemicals. Two mechanisms are proposed: direct inhibition of thyroid hormone biosynthesis in the thyroid gland, and stimulated degradation of thyroid hormone by induction of hepatic drug-metabolizing enzymes. In the database there were 10 chemicals inducing hypertrophy/hyperplasia of follicular cells in the thyroid gland and having data on thyroid glands. On the basis of the chemical structure and information available in the literature, we judged three chemicals to be typical thioamide derivatives that act directly on the thyroid gland, and the others as non-thioamide derivatives that were unlikely to have any direct action on the thyroid gland. All these chemicals were classified into two groups using the ratios of relative weight increase rate of thyroid gland versus that of the liver. These values were at least 1.7, but 3.2 or more in the most of the cases for thioamide derivatives, and 1.2 or less for non-thioamide derivatives. This background analysis suggests the feasibility of parameter-supported speculation on the possible underlying mechanism when new repeated-dose toxicity data on hypothyroidism becomes available.

Abstract
We investigated the role of glutathione S-transferases Mu 1 (GSTM1) in acetaminophen (APAP)-induced hepatotoxicity using Gstm1-null mice. A single oral administration of APAP resulted in a marked increase in plasma alanine aminotransferase accompanied by hepatocyte necrosis 24 hr after administration in wild-type mice, but its magnitude was unexpectedly attenuated in Gstm1-null mice. Therefore, it is suggested that Gstm1-null mice are resistant to APAP-induced hepatotoxicity. To examine the mechanism of this resistance in Gstm1-null mice, we measured phosphorylation of c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), which mediates the signal of APAP-induced hepatocyte necrosis, by Western blot analysis 2 and 6 hr after APAP administration. A marked increase in phosphorylated JNK was observed in wild-type mice, but the increase was markedly suppressed in Gstm1-null mice. Therefore, it is suggested that suppressed phosphorylation of JNK may be a main mechanism of the resistance to APAP-induced hepatotoxicity in Gstm1-null mice, although other possibilities of the mechanism cannot be eliminated. Additionally, phosphorylation of glycogen synthase kinase-3β and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 4, which are upstream kinases of JNK in APAP-induced hepatotoxicity, were also suppressed in Gstm1-null mice. A decrease in liver total glutathione 2 hr after APAP administration, which is an indicator for exposure to N-acetyl-p-benzoquinoneimine, the reactive metabolite of APAP, were similar in wild-type and Gstm1-null mice. In conclusion, Gstm1-null mice are considered to be resistant to APAP-induced hepatotoxicity perhaps by the suppression of JNK phosphorylation. This study indicates the novel role of GSTM1 as a factor mediating the cellular signal for APAP-induced hepatotoxicity.

Abstract
CYP1A1 and CYP1A2 are involved in both detoxification and metabolic activation of xenobiotics. Human CYP1A1 (hCYP1A1) and hCYP1A2 exist in a head-to-head orientation in chromosome 15 with the overlapping 5'-flanking region. We have recently reported that nuclear receptor constitutive androstane receptor (CAR), in addition to aryl hydrocarbon receptor, bidirectionally transactivates these genes through common motifs. In this study, we have investigated a role of liver X receptor α (LXRα), another liver-enriched nuclear receptor, in the expression hCYP1A1 and hCYP1A2. In reporter assays with dual-reporter constructs containing their promoter region between two different reporter genes, LXRα simultaneously transactivated hCYP1A1 and hCYP1A2 through two regions, independent of aryl hydrocarbon receptor. In electrophoretic mobility shift assays, LXRα/retinoid X receptor α heterodimer bound to two ER8-type motifs found at around -520 and -460 of hCYP1A1. The former corresponds to the CAR-binding motif previously identified. Reporter assays using mutated constructs confirmed the critical roles of these motifs in the LXRα-mediated simultaneous transcription of hCYP1A1 and hCYP1A2. hCYP1A1 and hCYP1A2 mRNA levels were increased in human hepatoma HuH-7 cells and human primary hepatocytes, respectively, after treatment with the LXRα ligand GW3965. Our results suggest that LXRα transactivates the expression of hCYP1A1 and hCYP1A2 through common two cis-elements.

Abstract
The intestinal endocrine hormone human fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19) is involved in the regulation of not only hepatic bile acid metabolism but also carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. In the present study, bile acid/farnesoid X receptor (FXR) responsiveness in the FGF19 promoter region was investigated by a reporter assay using the human colon carcinoma cell line LS174T. The assay revealed the presence of bile acid/FXR-responsive elements in the 5'-flanking region up to 8.8 kb of FGF19. Deletion analysis indicated that regions from -1866 to -1833, from -1427 to -1353, and from -75 to +262 were involved in FXR responsiveness. Four, four, and two consecutive half-sites of nuclear receptors were observed in the three regions, respectively. An electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay revealed FXR/retinoid X receptor α (RXRα) heterodimer binding in these three regions. EMSA and reporter assays using mutated constructs indicated that the nuclear receptor IR1, ER2, and DR8 motifs in the 5'-flanking region were involved in FXR responsiveness of FGF19. Lithocholic acid (LCA) (10 μM), chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) (10 μM), or GW4064 (0.1 μM) treatment increased reporter activity in a construct including the three motifs under FXR-expressing conditions whereas LCA and not CDCA or GW4064 treatment increased the reporter activity under pregnane X receptor (PXR)-expressing conditions. These results suggest that FGF19 is transcriptionally activated through multiple FXR-responsive elements in the promoter region.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We previously established HepG2-GS-3A4, a cell line from hepatoblastoma with overexpression of human CYP3A4 and glutamine synthetase (GS). We further reported that these cells can be applied for screening inhibitors of CYP3A4 in vitro. The purpose of this study was to determine whether our CYP3A4-overexpresed cell could be applied to evaluate mechanisms of CYP3A4 inhibition by 6',7'-dihydroxybergamottin (DHB), which is one of the major furanocoumarins in grapefruit juice, by using these cells. METHODS Nifedipine oxidation, activity and protein expression of NADPH-cytochrome reductase (POR) of HepG2-GS-3A4 cell were measured. CO-binding spectrumassay in microsomal fraction of the cells was also evaluated. KEY FINDINGS DHB and ketoconazole, a well-known inhibitor of CYP3A4, inhibited nifedipine oxidation in a concentration-dependent manner. DHB at a concentration of 3.0 µm, sufficient to inhibit the nifedipine oxidation, decreased POR activity; however, ketoconazole at a concentration of 0.9 µm, sufficient to inhibit the oxidation, did not affect the activity. The expression of POR protein in HepG2-GS-3A4 cells was not changed by either DHB or ketoconazole. The expression of CYP3A4 mRNA and protein was not changed by the addition of DHB or ketoconazole. DHB also reduced the absorption rate at 450 nm in a CO-binding spectrum assay without alteration of the wavelength of maximum absorption. The mean absorption value at 450 nm slightly decreased with ketoconazole; however, the difference was not significant. CONCLUSIONS We concluded that inhibition of CYP3A4 activity by DHB includes the inhibition of POR activity. HepG2-GS-3A4 might be a good tool to evaluate the mechanisms.

Abstract
We have constructed an in silico system for the prediction of CYP2E1-mediated reaction using a two-dimensional template derived from substrate structures. Although CYP2E1 prefers small-size molecules for the substrates, the enzyme mediates oxidations of large-size molecules, such as benzo[a]pyrene. Overlays of these substrates, to assemble their sites of oxidation into a specific area, suggested a range of regions frequently occupied. The region, having a benzo[a]pyrene-like shape, was thus used as a CYP2E1 template. In this system, atoms in substrates, except for hydrogen atoms, were placed on corners of honeycomb structures of the template after having expanded the structures. Using published data for the metabolism on more than 80 substrates of CYP2E1, the core template was further refined to verify the adjacent area and to define the relative contribution of template positions for the catalysis. The positions on the template were classified into four different point (0-3) groups, depending on relative usage. In addition, we set independent points (-5 to 3) for specific positions to incorporate three-dimensional or functional information. Total scores from both position-occupancy and -function points were calculated for all the orientations of possible conformers of test substrates, and the scores were found to predict the relative abundance (i.e., order) as well as the regioselectivity of human CYP2E1 reactions with high fidelities.

Abstract
Human fetal liver (HFL) cells express major drug metabolic enzymes CYP3A4, CYP3A5 and CYP3A7. In the fetal hepatocytes, betamethasone and dexamethasone (DEX) markedly enhanced the expression levels of CYP3A4 and CYP3A7 mRNAs and slightly increased the expression level of CYP3A5 mRNA. Interestingly, a high correlation between the CYP3A induction ability and the intensity of anti-inflammatory effect was observed. Human glucocorticoid receptor (GR)-small interfering RNA clearly attenuated the expression level of GR mRNA, and diminished the DEX-stimulated CYP3A4, CYP3A5 and CYP3A7 expression in HFL cells. These findings indicate that GR mediates the induction of CYP3A4 and CYP3A7 expression in human fetal hepatocytes as well as the CYP3A5.

Abstract
Human fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19) is an enterohepatic hormone that is involved in the regulation of hepatic metabolism of bile acids, lipids, and glucose. Farnesoid X receptor (Fxr)-null mice exhibit steatosis-like symptoms, showing higher hepatic lipid levels than with the wild-type mice. We investigated the influence of FGF19 treatment on hepatic lipogenesis in Fxr-null mice. Recombinant FGF19 treatment (400 µg/kg/d) for 3 d prevented the accumulation of lipid droplets and decreased serum alanine aminotransferase activity and hepatic lipid levels, including those of triglycerides and free fatty acids. The treatment significantly decreased the hepatic mRNA levels of acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 (Acc1), Cd36, and sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1c (Srebp-1c) as well as those of acetyl-CoA carboxylase 2 (Acc2), stearoyl CoA desaturase 1 (Scd1), and Cyp7a1. FGF19 treatment (4 µg/kg/d) for 3 d also decreased the hepatic free fatty acid levels and mRNA levels of Acc1, Cd36, and Srebp-1c. These results indicate that FGF19-mediated signaling ameliorates disrupted hepatic lipogenesis in Fxr-null mice.

Abstract
The mouse cholesterol sulfotransferase St2b2 contributes to epidermal differentiation by biosynthesizing cholesterol sulfate (CS) from cholesterol in the epidermis. 12-O-Tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) causes epidermal hyperplasia, an abnormal increase in epidermal cell numbers resulting from aberrant cell differentiation and an increase in St2b2 protein levels. The mechanisms underlying enhanced St2b2 expression and the pathophysiologic significance of the increased expression are unclear, however. To verify whether increased St2b2 levels are necessary for TPA-induced epidermal hyperplasia, the effects of St2b2-specific small hairpin RNA (St2b2-shRNA) on hyperplasia were examined in mice. St2b2-shRNA clearly suppressed TPA-induced epidermal hyperplasia and the expression of a marker of epidermal differentiation, involucrin (INV). Interestingly, treating mouse epidermal cells with tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα) increased St2b2 expression. Furthermore, treatment with TNFα-siRNA or anti-TNF receptor antibodies reduced the TPA-induced enhancement of St2b2 expression. Treatment with BAY 11-7082, a specific inhibitor of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), diminished TPA-induced St2b2 expression. These results suggested that enhancement of St2b2 expression by TPA treatment occurs mainly through the TNFα-NF-κB inflammatory signaling pathway, which in turn leads to increased CS concentrations in epidermal cells and hyperplasia.

Abstract
Phenobarbital treatment has long been known to influence serum and hepatic cholesterol levels in rodents and humans. Constitutive androstane receptor (CAR), a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily, mediates various biological actions of phenobarbital. We have thus investigated whether CAR transactivates cholesterogenic genes in livers. Activation of CAR in mouse livers and cultured human hepatocytes increased mRNA levels of mouse Dhcr24 and human DHCR24, both of which encode 24-dehydrocholesterol reductase (DHCR24) catalyzing the last step of cholesterol biosynthesis. CAR transactivated the expression of these genes in reporter assays with cultured hepatoma cells. Furthermore, we have identified a DR4 (direct repeat separated by 4 nucleotides) motif in the human DHCR24 distal promoter as a binding site of CAR/retinoid X receptor α (RXRα) heterodimer. We have also demonstrated that the heterodimer of pregnane X receptor (PXR)/ RXRα binds to the DR4 motif and that human DHCR24 reporter gene is transactivated by the ligand-activated PXR. These results suggest a role of xenobiotic-responsive nuclear receptor CAR, and also possibly PXR, in cholesterol biosynthesis in the liver of mice and humans.

Abstract
Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) activators have been shown to induce members of the cytochrome P450 (P450) 1 family. Here we demonstrate that the AhR activators induce CYP3A4 through human pregnane X receptor (PXR). AhR activators, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) increased CYP3A4 reporter activity and CYP3A4 mRNA expression in HepG2 cells. The CYP3A4 reporter activity was also increased by treatment with cigarette tar. The increased CYP3A4 reporter activity was clearly knocked down by the introduction of human PXR-small interfering RNA, but not by that of human AhR-small interfering RNA. The CYP3A4 reporter activity enhanced by overexpression of human PXR was further increased by treatment with PAHs and TCDD as well as by treatment with rifampicin. These results suggest that PAHs contained in cigarette smoke induce CYP3A4 in human liver.

Abstract
In our study, ampicillin (AMP)-mediated decrease of enterobacteria caused increases in hepatic bile acid concentration through (at least in part) elevation of bile acid synthesis in C57BL/6N mice. We investigated the involvement of enterobacteria on intestinal bile acid absorption in AMP-treated mice in the present study. Fecal enterobacterial levels and fecal bile acid excretion rates were markedly decreased in mice treated with AMP (100 mg/kg) for 3 days, whereas bile acid concentrations in portal blood were significantly increased compared with those in mice treated with a vehicle. Ileal apical sodium-dependent bile acid transporter (SLC10A2) mRNA levels and ileal SLC10A2 protein levels in brush-border membranes were significantly increased compared with those in mice treated with the vehicle. In AMP-treated mice, total bile acid levels were increased, whereas levels of enterobacteria-biotransformed bile acid, taurodeoxycholic acid, and cholic acid were decreased in intestinal lumen. These phenomena were also observed in farnesoid X receptor-null mice treated with AMP for 3 days. Discontinuation of AMP administration after 3 days (vehicle administration for 4 days) increased levels of fecal enterobacteria, fecal bile acid excretion, and taurodeoxycholic acid and cholic acid in the intestinal lumen, whereas the discontinuation decreased ileal SLC10A2 expression and bile acid concentrations in the portal blood. Coadministration of taurodeoxycholic acid or cholic acid decreased ileal SLC10A2 expression in mice treated with AMP. These results suggest that enterobacteria-mediated bile acid biotransformation modulates intestinal bile acid transport and homeostasis through down-regulation of ileal SLC10A2 expression.

Abstract
Human CYP1A1 and CYP1A2 genes are in a head-to-head orientation on chromosome 15 and are separated by a 23-kb intergenic space. To our knowledge, this is the first report on a stable cell line that contains the 23-kb full-length regulatory region and is able to simultaneously assess the transcriptional activation of CYP1A1 and CYP1A2 genes. The stable cell line that constitutively expresses the reporter activities was constructed by inserting the dual reporter plasmid containing the 23-kb region between the CYP1A1 and CYP1A2 genes into the chromosome. Transcriptional activation of the CYP1A1 and CYP1A2 genes was measured simultaneously using luciferase (Luc) and secreted alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) activities, respectively. To demonstrate the utility of the stable cell line, CYP1A1/1A2 induction by the majority of compounds previously identified as CYP1A1/1A2 inducers was measured. The results clearly show that all compounds caused induction of reporter activities. In addition to assessing transcriptional activation of the CYP1A1 and CYP1A2 genes by measuring reporter activities, we determined the intrinsic CYP1A1 and CYP1A2 mRNA levels by treating them with the same compounds. The results suggest that this stable cell line may be used to rapidly and accurately predict CYP1A1/1A2 induction.
