Abstract：
:CYP3A4, the predominant cytochrome P450 (CYP) expressed in human liver, contributes to the metabolism of approximately half the drugs in use today. In general, human-derived cell lines fail to express CYPs. It was previously shown that CYP3A4 mRNA and CYP3A immunoreactive protein are induced by 1alpha,25-dyhydroxyvitamin D(3) (1alpha,25-(OH)(2)D(3)) in the human colon carcinoma cell line Caco-2. The aim of the present study was to examine whether 1alpha,25-(OH)(2)D(3) regulates CYP3A4 gene expression in HepG2 cells, a human hepatocarcinoma cell line. Treatment with 1alpha,25-(OH)(2)D(3) resulted in an induction of CYP3A4 mRNA and CYP3A4 immunoreactive protein, 1.5-fold and 4.0-fold respectively, when compared to control cultures, in a time-dependent fashion. These observations are in agreement with previous reports suggesting a role of 1alpha,25-(OH)(2)D(3) on CYP3A4 transcription regulation, and demonstrate that this hormone, as in Caco-2 cells, increase CYP3A4 levels in HepG2 cells. In conclusion, HepG2 cell cultures treated with 1alpha,25-(OH)(2)D(3), provides a useful model to study the function of CYP3A4 and its role in drug liver metabolism.
