P450 in the rat and man: methods of investigation, substrate specificities and relevance to cancer

Abstract: 1. Considerable evidence has been accumulated that orthologous rat and human P450 forms oxidize numerous chemicals in a highly similar manner, including the detoxication and activation of mutagens and carcinogens. 2. Nevertheless, certain specific substrates of rat P450s are not so well oxidized by the orthologous human forms, and vice versa. 3. Certain mutagens and carcinogens can be activated in a similar way by different (non-orthologous) forms in rat and man, confirming that studies on animals, directed ul… Show more

“…A significant correlation was reported between enzyme activity and mRNA expression for CYP3A4 in human liver samples (30). Rat CYP3A2 and human CYP3A4 are involved in the metabolism of erythromycin, nifedipine, lidocaine, testosterone, aflatoxin B1 and benzo[a]pyrene (28,30). Furthermore, CYP3A4 is highly expressed in the adult liver and small intestine (30), and metabolizes xenobiotics and carcinogens (32,33), as well as numerous endogenous compounds, such as bile acids, cholesterol, prostaglandins, fatty acids, retinoids, leukotrienes and biogenic amines (32,34).…”

“…The induction of CYP3A2 by carbonated SDs may indicate its potential ability to induce human CYP3A4 due to their close homology (29). A significant correlation was reported between enzyme activity and mRNA expression for CYP3A4 in human liver samples (30). Rat CYP3A2 and human CYP3A4 are involved in the metabolism of erythromycin, nifedipine, lidocaine, testosterone, aflatoxin B1 and benzo[a]pyrene (28,30).…”

“…25-30% of the original activity remaining. In retrospect, we now know that as substrates, aminopyrine and p-nitroanisole are relatively non-selective among common P450 isoforms [43]. Thus there could be several possible explanations for the observed incompleteness of the inactivation process.…”

“…Another limitation of this early work is the use of rat liver microsomes (RLMs) as the enzyme source. Considerable differences exist between the expression and substrate selectivities of human and rat CYP [Nedelcheva and Gut, 1994], so caution is necessary when extrapolating such findings to humans. In particular, a role for the CYP2C subfamily could not be investigated because female rats were used and selective inhibitors and inducers of CYP2C enzymes were not available at the time [Savi et al 1994].…”
