Induction of cyp3a in primary cultures of human hepatocytes by ginkgolides a and B.

Abstract:

:1. The present study was designed to determine the effects of ginkgolide A, ginkgolide B and quercetin on CYP3A protein expression and enzyme activity in primary cultures of human hepatocytes. 2. Hepatocytes were pretreated with ginkgolide A, ginkgolide B and quercetin (at 1, 3, 10 and 30 micromol/L) for 48 h and then exposed to testosterone (250 micromol/L) for 30 min. Rifampin (10 micromol/L) and phenobarbital (2 mmol/L) were used as positive controls. The CYP3A activity was measured by the amount of 6beta-hydroxytestosterone in the culture medium and CYP3A protein in hepatocyte lysate was semiquantified by immunoblotting. 3. Compared with the vehicle control, ginkgolides A and B, at 30 micromol/L, significantly induced CYP3A protein expression (2.1- and 2-fold, respectively; both P < 0.01) and markedly induced CYP3A-mediated testosterone 6beta-hydroxylation (2.5-fold each; P < 0.05 for ginkgolide A; P > 0.05 for ginkgolide B). Quercetin had no apparent induction. 4. Ginkgolide A and ginkgolide B can induce CYP3A protein expression and enzyme activity in primary cultures of human hepatocytes at higher doses.

The turnover rate of inositol(1,4,5)trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) in noradrenaline-stimulated adult rat left atria was calculated from changes in specific activity and was found to equal 110 ct/min per mg tissue. In contrast, the isomers of inositol mono- and bisphosphates accumulated at a rate of 508 ct/min per mg....
