Angiotensin II (AngII) stimulates the renal production and release of 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (20-HETE), which is a major metabolite of arachidonic acid catalyzed by CYP4A isoforms. However, the effects of AngII on CYP4A isoform expression in the kidney and its mechanism remains unclear. To clarify the regulation of CYP4A isoform expression by AngII, we examined the chronic effects of AngII and AngII type 1 receptor (AT1-R) blockade on CYP4A isoform expression. Sprague-Dawley rats were infused with vehicle or AngII for 1 week, and the AngII-infused rats were also treated with or without the AT1-R blocker, candesartan. AngII increased CYP4A isoform protein expression in the renal cortex (CO) and outer medulla (OM) in a dose-dependent manner, and candesartan inhibited the AngII-increased CYP4A expression in a dose-dependent manner. AngII increased the CYP4A isoform mRNA expression in the CO and OM, and candesartan inhibited AngII-increased CYP4A isoform mRNA expression. These results indicated that AngII chronically increased the CYP4A isoform expression in the rat kidney. The AngII-induced CYP4A isoform expression was mediated by AT1-R.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. We found that the cytochrome P450 isoform CYP4F11 is significantly overexpressed in patients with lung squamous cell carcinoma. CYP4F11 is a fatty acid -hydroxylase and catalyzes the production of the lipid mediator 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE) from arachidonic acid.

Low-grade chronic inflammation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes and their complications. In this study, we investigated the effects of salsalate, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, on metabolic disturbances in an animal model of prediabetes-a strain of non-obese hereditary hypertriglyceridemic (HHTg) rats. Adult male HHTg and Wistar control rats were fed a standard diet without or with salsalate delivering a daily dose of 200 mg/kg of body weight for 6 weeks.

Selenium-binding protein 1 (Selenbp1) is a 2,3,7,8-tetrechlorodibenzo--dioxin inducible protein whose function is yet to be comprehensively elucidated. As the highly homologous isoform, Selenbp2, is expressed at low levels in the kidney, it is worthwhile comparing wild-type C57BL mice and Selenbp1-deficient mice under dioxin-free conditions. Accordingly, we conducted a mouse metabolomics analysis under non-dioxin-treated conditions.

Oxidative damage by reactive oxygen species (ROS) is one of the main contributors to cell injury and tissue damage in thalassemia patients. Recent studies suggest that ROS generation in non-transfusion-dependent (NTDT) patients occurs as a result of iron overload. Among the different sources of ROS, the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase family of enzymes and cytochrome P450 (CYP450) have been proposed to be major contributors for oxidative stress in several diseases.

Introduction: Hyperoxic lung injury is a condition that can occur in patients in need of supplemental oxygen, such as premature infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia or adults with acute respiratory distress syndrome. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes play critical roles in the metabolism of endogenous and exogenous compounds.
Areas Covered: Through their complex pathways, some subfamilies of these enzymes may contribute to or protect against hyperoxic lung injury.
