Abstract:
:The cytochrome P450 26 family is believed to be responsible for all-trans-retinoic acid (atRA) metabolism and elimination in the human fetus and adults. CYP26A1 and CYP26B1 mRNA is expressed in a tissue-specific manner, and mice in which the CPY26 isoform has been knocked out show distinct malformations and lethality. The aim of this study was to determine differences in CYP26A1 and CYP26B1 regulation and expression. Analysis of CYP26A1 and CYP26B1 expression in a panel of 57 human livers showed CYP26A1 to be the major CYP26 isoform present in the liver, and its expression to be subject to large interindividual variability between donors. CYP26A1 and retinoic acid receptor (RAR) beta were found to be greatly inducible by atRA in HepG2 cells, whereas CYP26B1, RARalpha, and RARgamma were induced to a much lesser extent. Based on treatments with RAR isoform-selective ligands, RARalpha is the major isoform responsible for CYP26A1 and RARbeta induction in HepG2 cells. Classic cytochrome P450 inducers did not affect CYP26 transcription, whereas the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) gamma agonists pioglitazone and rosiglitazone up-regulated CYP26B1 transcription by as much as 209- +/- 80-fold and CYP26A1 by 10-fold. RARbeta was also up-regulated by pioglitazone and rosiglitazone. CYP26B1 induction by PPARgamma agonists was abolished by the irreversible PPARgamma antagonist 2-chloro-5-nitrobenzanilide (GW9662), whereas RARbeta and CYP26A1 induction was unaffected by GW9662. Overall, the results of this study suggest that CYP26B1 and CYP26A1 are regulated by different nuclear receptors, resulting in tissue-specific expression patterns. The fact that drugs can alter the expression of CYP26 enzymes may have toxicological and therapeutic importance.
