AbstractObjectivesCytochromes P450 play a role in human drugs metabolic pathways and their genes are among the most variable in humans. The aim of this study was to analyze genotype frequencies of five common polymorphisms of cytochromes P450 in Roma/Gypsy and Czech (non-Roma) population samples with Czech origin.MethodsRoma/Gypsy (n=302) and Czech subjects (n=298) were genotyped for CYP1A2 (rs762551), CYP2A6 (rs4105144), CYP2B6 (rs3745274) and CYP2D6 (rs3892097; rs1065852) polymorphisms using PCR-RFLP or Taqman assay.ResultsWe found significant allelic/genotype differences between ethnics in three genes. For rs3745274 polymorphism, there was increased frequency of T allele carriers in Roma in comparison with Czech population (53.1 vs. 43.7%; p=0.02). For rs4105144 (CYP2A6) there was higher frequency of T allele carriers in Roma in comparison with Czech population (68.7 vs. 49.8%; p<0.0001). For rs3892097 (CYP2D6) there was more carriers of the A allele between Roma in comparison with Czech population (39.2 vs. 38.2%; p=0.048). Genotype/allelic frequencies of CYP2D6 (rs1065852) and CYP1A2 (rs762551) variants did not significantly differ between the ethnics.ConclusionsThere were significant differences in allelic/genotype frequencies of some, but not all cytochromes P450 polymorphisms between the Czech Roma/Gypsies and Czech non-Roma subjects.

One of the most important groups of metabolic enzymes is cytochrome P450 superfamily. These enzymes are important in terms of the catalytic diversity and the large number of xenobiotics that are detoxified or activated by converting to reactive metabolites. Flavonoids are xenobiotics to which humans are exposed through diet. Data on their oxidative metabolism mediated by cytochromes P450 are limited. The aim of this study was to determine the enzymatic kinetics of O-demethylation and aromatic hydroxylation of flavonoid aglycons on recombinant cytochrome P450 enzymes and human liver microsomes systems. The study was performed on ten flavonoids, namely 3,7-dihydroxyflavone, 7-hydroxyflavone, acacetin, apigenin, flavone, galangin, kaempferol, naringenin, sakuranetin, and tangeretin using liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry and UV detector. Most relevant enzyme involved in metabolism of flavonoid aglycons is CYP1A2, and its catalytic effectiveness ranges from 0.5 to 2.9 × 106 M–1 min–1. Having in mind high expression and involvement of CYP1A2 in metabolism of xenobiotics including drugs, and its intraindividual differences in expression and activity, potential of drug-flavonoid competitive interactions/inhibitions should be considered when consuming dietary supplement and foods rich in flavonoids.

Novel Drug

Novel drug strategies are desperately needed to combat the global threat posed by multidrug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). The genome sequence of Mtb has revealed an unprecedented number of cytochrome P450 enzymes in a prokaryote, suggesting fundamental physiological roles for many of these enzymes. Several azole drugs (known inhibitors of cytochromes P450) have been shown to have potent anti-mycobacterial activity, and the most effective azoles have extremely tight binding constants for one of the Mtb P450s (CYP121). The structure of CYP121 has been determined at atomic resolution, revealing novel features of P450 structure, including mixed haem conformations and putative proton-relay pathways from protein surface to haem iron. The structure provides both a platform for investigation of structure/mechanism of cytochrome P450, and for design of inhibitor molecules as novel anti-tubercular agents.

Using chicken antibodies IgY (purified from egg yolks) against mammalian cytochromes P450 and by means of cytochrome P450 marker substrates, we found for the first time the presence of hepatopancreatic cytochrome P450 in crayfishOrconectes limosus(an inducible cytochrome P450 2B-like enzyme) and we were able to detect and quantify cytochrome P450 1A1 in microsomes of human livers. Expression levels of cytochrome P450 1A1 in human livers constituted less than 0.6% of the total hepatic cytochrome P450 complement. The results obtained in our study are clear examples that chicken IgY are suitable for cytochrome P450 detection and quantification. Due to the evolutionary distance, chicken IgY reacts with more epitopes on a mammalian antigen, which gives an amplification of the signal. Moreover, this approach offers many advantages over common mammalian antibody production since chicken egg is an abundant source of antibodies (about 100 mg IgY/yolk) and the egg collection is a non-invasive technique. In the case of antibodies against cytochrome P450 2B4, we documented fast and steady production of highly specific immunoglobulins. Thus, chicken antibodies should be considered as a good alternative to and/or superior substitute for conventional polyclonal antibody produced in mammals.
