Abstract excerpt
UGT1A1 is induced by phenobarbital. We investigated whether three common UGT1A1 variants are associated with the variability in UGT1A1 inducibility. Human hepatocytes were incubated with 2 mM phenobarbital for 2 and 6 days followed by 5 microM SN-38 (1 h), a UGT1A1 probe. SN-38 glucuronidation in the cell media was measured by high-performance liquid chromatography. Three UGT1A1 promoter variants [-53(TA)(6>7),...
