Abstract

CYP1B1, a new member of human cytochrome P450 family 1, is involved in the xenobiotic detoxification metabolism and possibly activation of numerous procarcinogens and promutagens. Localization of CYP1B1 in human temporal lobe and its induction in astrocytoma cell line (MOG-G-CCM) by 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) was investigated using antibodies against human CYP1B1. A single band of approximately 58 kDa size in both human temporal lobe and in MOG-G-CCM was detected by Western blot analysis. Treatment of MOG-G-CCM cells with DMBA resulted in approximately 2.8-fold induction of CYP1B1. CYP1B1 immunoreactivity was detected at the blood–brain interface areas of the temporal lobe as evidenced by co-localization with CD34 antigen. These results suggest that this enzyme may be important in brain xenobiotic metabolism acting as an enzymatic barrier.

    CYP enzymes play a key role in drug metabolism, so their upregulation might indicate neuroprotective system formation. Some of them, like CYP1B1, have been found in the human BBB in vivo [54], though expression varies from one individual to another. Interestingly, the presence of CYP3A4, which was upregulated in the in vitro study of Cucullo et al., was not found in the BBB in vivo [47].

    In the present study, we demonstrated that a variety of CYP isoforms, including CYP1B1 and CYP1A1, are expressed in human astrocytoma MOG-G-CCM cells. It has been reported that CYP1B1 and CYP1A1 are expressed in MOG-G-CCM cells [37–39]. To our knowledge, however, this is the first study to show the expression of many CYP isoforms other than CYP1B1 and CYP1A1 in this cell line.

    These products can attack cellular targets, thereby inducing carcinogenicity [32]. Breast tissue may be a major target for the toxicological effects of a variety of lipophilic carcinogens such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), if such compounds are not biotransformed to hydrophilic metabolites that are easily excretable [33]. Numerous studies have shown that 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA), a member of the PAH family, can be used to induce experimental breast carcinomas in experimental animals and that this process involves disruption of tissue redox balance; in turn, this suggests that biochemical and pathophysiological disturbances may result from oxidative damage [34,35].

    In human, CYP1B1 mRNA was detected in cortex, cerebellum, hippocampus, midbrain, thalamus and, at higher levels, in putamen (Rieder et al., 1998). By an immunohistochemistry assay, CYP1B1 protein was also localized in the human blood–brain interfaces (Rieder et al., 2000). Activation of AhR can also increase the expression of Nrf2 (nuclear E2-related factor 2), a transcription factor involved in the protection against oxidative stress that is present in organs devoted to drug metabolism and detoxification (liver, kidney, and gut) or exposed to the environment (skin, lung, and GI tract) (Miao et al., 2005).
