Abstract:
:UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) are essential drug-conjugation enzymes that metabolize a variety of endobiotic and xenobiotic substrates. The molecular characteristics of UGTs have been extensively investigated in humans, but remain to be investigated in common marmosets, a nonhuman primate species widely used in drug metabolism studies. In this study, 11 UGT cDNAs (UGT1A1, 1A3, 1A4, 1A6, 1A7, and 1A9; and UGT2B49, 2B50, 2B51, 2B52, and 2B53) were isolated and characterized in marmosets. Marmoset UGT1As had high sequence identities (89-93%) with human UGT1As, but the sequence identities of marmoset UGT2Bs were lower (82-86%). Marmoset UGTs were found to be phylogenetically close to human UGTs. Just as human UGT1As do, marmoset UGT1A genes shared exons 2-5 and contained a variable exon 1 unique to each gene; in contrast, marmoset UGT2B genes contained six unique exons. Moreover, marmoset and human UGT1A and UGT2B gene clusters were located in corresponding regions in their respective genomes. Among the five tissue types tested, marmoset UGT mRNAs were most abundantly expressed in liver, jejunum, and/or kidney, i.e., in tissues important for drug metabolism, just as human UGTs are. Among the 11 marmoset UGT mRNAs investigated, marmoset UGT1A9, 1A4, and 1A6 mRNAs were the most abundantly expressed in liver, small intestine, and kidney, respectively. Marmoset liver microsomes and recombinant UGT1A proteins catalyzed the glucuronidation of the same substrates that human UGT1As catalyze, including estradiol, trifluoperazine, 4-methylumbelliferone, serotonin, 4-nitrophenol, and propofol. Trifluoperazine was glucuronidated by marmoset liver microsomes, but not by any of the UGT1A isoforms examined under the present conditions. These results collectively suggest that functional marmoset UGTs have generally similar molecular characteristics to human UGTs.
