Cytokines down-regulate expression of major cytochrome P-450 enzymes in adult human hepatocytes in primary culture.

Abstract：

:Cytokines are thought to cause the depression of cytochrome P-450 (CYP)-associated drug metabolism in humans during inflammation and infection. We have examined the role of five cytokines, i.e., interleukin-1 beta, interleukin-4, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and interferon-gamma, on the expression of CYP1A2, CYP2C, CYP2E1, CYP3A, and epoxide hydrolase in primary human hepatocyte cultures. Steady state P-450 and epoxide hydrolase mRNA levels, as well as ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase and nifedipine oxidation activities, which are mainly supported by CYP1A1/1A2 and CYP3A, respectively, were measured. Interleukin-1 beta, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha were found to be the most potent depressors of P-450 enzymes. After 3 days of treatment, both mRNA levels and enzyme activities were depressed, typically by at least 40%, whatever the cytokine and the enzyme considered. Interferon-gamma also suppressed CYP1A2 and CYP2E1 mRNA levels and ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase activity but had no effect on CYP3A and epoxide hydrolase mRNAs. In addition, interleukin-4 had the opposite effect, compared with other cytokines, on CYP2E1 mRNA, which was increased up to 5-fold; ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase and nifedipine oxidation activities were not significantly affected. These results provide the first demonstration that various cytokines act directly on human hepatocytes to affect expression of major P-450 genes and that a wide range of responses can be observed among the enzymes for a given cytokine, suggesting that different regulatory mechanisms may be involved.
