Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) derived from diesel exhaust particles (DEP) are implicated in the pathophysiology of respiratory diseases. Cytochrome P450 (Cyp) 1A1 can be induced by several kinds of PAH and produce ROS. We determined whether acute inhalation exposure to DEP induced the expression of Cyp 1A1 in murine lung. Intratracheal instillation of DEP dose-dependently increased the lung expression of Cyp 1A1 at the levels of both mRNA and protein, whereas DEP decreased expression in the lung of aryl hydrocarbon receptors in a dose-dependent manner. In contrast, charcoal particles as the control did not affect the expression of these molecules. These results suggest that the lung expression of Cyp 1A1 can be a biomarker of acute inhalation exposure to DEP and may be implicated in an accelerated production of ROS and the subsequent aggravation of lung injury.

The most frequent type of leukemia in Africa is chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). The genetic background of the rarer Philadelphia chromosome (Ph) Ph-ve (BCR-ABL-ve) subform of CML is largely unknown in African patients. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to investigate the role of CYP1A1 and 2D6 SNPs in the pathogenesis of Ph-ve CML in the Sudanese population.

Background: Cytochromes P450 (CYPs) are heme-containing oxidoreductase enzymes with mono-oxygenase activity. Human CYPs catalyze the oxidation of a great variety of chemicals, including xenobiotics, steroid hormones, vitamins, bile acids, procarcinogens, and drugs.
Findings: In our review article, we discuss recent data evidencing that the same CYP isoform can be involved in both bioactivation and detoxification reactions and convert the same substrate to different products.

Article Synopsis
- Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), like benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), arise from incomplete combustion and are found in sources like tobacco smoke and charbroiled food, posing cancer risks.
- Researchers genetically modified the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans to include human CYP1A1, CYP1A2, and epoxide hydrolase to study the effects of BaP exposure, observing changes in behavior and reproductive performance, such as increased pharyngeal pumping and decreased brood size.
- The findings revealed that the humanized worms experienced more severe reproductive toxicity and genetic mutations when exposed to BaP, highlighting the potential of these modified organisms for improving research practices while working towards the

Diabetes is attributed to an increased vulnerability to bacterial infection linked to unregulated hyperglycaemia. The present study highlights the formulation of nanoparticles with phyto-compound piperine (PIP) encapsulated within non-toxic biodegradable polymer poly-lactide co-glycolide (PLGA) which showed a variety in surface functionality, biocompatibility, and the ability to tailor an optimized release rate from its polymeric enclosure. The observations revealed that nanopiperine (NPIP) pre-treatment in mice inhibited alteration in hepatic tissue architecture and hepato-biochemical parameters in diabetes and its associated bacterial infections.

Nevirapine (NVP) and Efavirenz (EFV) can cause antiretroviral drug-induced liver injury (ARVDILI). The objectives of this study were to summarize and analyze existing data on pharmacogenomics associated with nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors drug-induced liver injury using systematic review and meta-analysis. This study systematically searched the relevant studies regarding pharmacogenes related to ARVDILI from online databases.
