Abstract:
:UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) are drug-metabolizing enzymes essential for the metabolism of endogenous substrates and xenobiotics. The cynomolgus macaque is a nonhuman primate species widely used in drug metabolism studies. The molecular characteristics of UGTs have been extensively investigated in humans, but they remain to be elucidated in cynomolgus macaques. In this study, cynomolgus macaque UGT3A1, UGT3A2, and UGT8A1 cDNAs were isolated and characterized. Amino acid sequences deduced from cynomolgus UGT3A1, UGT3A2, and UGT8A1 cDNAs were highly identical with their human orthologs (93, 96, and 99%, respectively) and were closely clustered in a phylogenetic tree. In the genome, cynomolgus UGT3A and UGT8A genes were located in the regions corresponding to those of their human orthologs. Among the 10 tissue types analyzed, expression of cynomolgus UGT3A1 and UGT3A2 mRNAs was detected in liver, kidney, and testis; the UGT3A1 and UGT3A2 mRNAs were most abundant in liver and testis, respectively. Cynomolgus UGT8A1 was most abundantly expressed in kidney, followed by brain, jejunum, and testis. These results suggest that cynomolgus UGT3As and UGT8A1 have molecular similarities to their human orthologs.
