Cytochrome P450 expression in human hepatocytes and hepatoma cell lines: molecular mechanisms that determine lower expression in cultured cells
1 Jan 2002
Abstract excerpt
1. Cultured hepatic cells have reduced cytochrome P450 (CYP) activities in comparison with human liver, but the mechanism(s) that underlies this circumstance is not clear. We investigated the causes of this low CYP activity by analysing the activity, protein, mRNA and heterologous nuclear RNA contents of the most important CYPs involved in drug metabolism (1A1, 1A2, 2A6, 2B6, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, 2E1, 3A4, 3A5) in...
