Objective: To determine the frequencies and haplotypes of the cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A7 gene in three Chinese ethnic groups, namely, Han, She and Dong.
Methods: SNP analyses of the CYP3A7 gene were carried out on three groups of healthy Chinese subjects consisting of 539 Han, 264 She and 273 Dong subjects, using direct sequencing. Linkage disequilibrium, haplotype inference and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were also determined for these samples.
Results: Significant differences were observed in the distribution of SNP rs2257401 (CYP3A7*2), SNP 1227 T>C (Novel), SNP rs4646468 and SNP rs10211 between the Han, She and Dong groups.
Conclusion: Some allele and haplotype frequencies show variation among groups, highlighting the need to analyze clinically relevant SNPs and haplotypes in a variety of different racial groups within the Chinese population as well as in other ethnic groups. These results suggest that genetic polymorphisms in the CYP3A7 gene in the Han, She and Dong populations may contribute to interindividual as well as intra-ethnic differences in response to the clearance of CYP3A7 substrates.

CYP3As are important drug-metabolizing enzymes in the liver. The causes for large inter-person variability in CYP3A expression/activity remain poorly understood. DNA methylation broadly regulates gene expression and the developmental transition from fetal CYP3A7 to adult CYP3A4, and CpG methylation upstream of the CYP3A4 promoter is associated with its expression.

Primary hepatocytes are widely utilized for investigating drug efficacy and toxicity, yet variations between batches and limited proliferation capacity present significant challenges. HepaRG cells are versatile cells, capable of maintaining an undifferentiated state and differentiating through dimethyl sulfoxide treatment, allowing for molecular analysis of hepatocyte plasticity. To elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms of HepaRG cell plasticity, we used CYP3A4G/7R HepaRG cells engineered to express DsRed under the control of the fetus-specific CYP3A7 gene and EGFP under the adult-specific CYP3A4 gene promoter.

Mercury (Hg) pollution is a global public health concern because of its adverse effects on the environment and health. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been associated with Hg levels and outcomes. The aim of this review was to describe the research and discuss the evidence on the genetic susceptibility of Hg-exposed individuals to the development of neurocognitive disorders.
