Effect of Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction on Gene Expression of CYPs, UGTs and GST sin Liver Tissues of Rats
Objective: To examine the effects of Xuefu Zhuyu decoction (XFZYD) on the expression of cytochrome P450 (CYPs) genes
glutathione S-transferase (GSTs) genes and UDP-glucuronosyl transferase (UGTs) genes in liver tissues of male Sprague-Dawley rats. Method: Twenty-five rats were divided randomly into 5 groups
5 animals each. Three active dose groups
which were administered with XFZYD by gastrogarage for 15 days at the dose of 3.51
7.02 and 14.04 g· kg-1
respectively. The control group and positive group received the same volume of water per kg body weight. From 13th day
the positive group received Phenobarbital sodium at the dose of 80 mg· kg-1 by peritomeal injection for 3 days. About 200 mg livers were removed
the levels of genes expression of CYP1A1
CYP1A2
CYP2B1
CYP2E1
CYP2C11
CYP3A1
CYP3A2
CYP4A1
CYP7A1
CYP17A1
CYP27A1
GSTA2
GSTM1
GSTp1
UGT1A1 and UGT2B1 in liver tissues of rats were examined by Quantitative real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (quantitative real time RT-PCR) assays. Result: Compared with the contro group l
phenobarbital sodium (the positive group) significantly increased mRNA expressions of CYP2B1
CYP3A1
CYP3A2
GSTA2 and UGT2B1 (84.57-fold
5.44-fold
5.11-fold
7.76-fold
13.27-fold
P<0.01
respectively). CYP1A1 (57.92-fold
P<0.01) and GSTA2 (1.54-fold P<0.05) were dramatically induced by XFZYD at the dose of 7.02
3.51 g· kg-1
respectively. While CYP2C11 (55%
P<0.05) was significantly inhibited by XFZYD at the dose of 14.04 g· kg-1
a inhibitory tendency was found on expression of GSTM1 (P<0.05) at the dose of 3.51
7.02
14.04 g· kg-1 (53%
55%
51%
respectively)
however
XFZYD had no significant effect on the expression of CYP1A2
CYP2B1
CYP2E1
CYP3A1
CYP3A2
CYP4A1
CYP7A1
CYP17A1
CYP27A1
GSTp1
UGT1A1 and UGT2B1. Conclusion: XFZYD can significantly induced the expression of CYP1A1 and GSTA2 gene
but significantly inhibited CYP2C11 and GSTM1 genes
which indicated that when XFZYD is administrated with the substrate of CYP1A1 and CYP2C11
more attention should be paid on drug interactions
XFZYD may affect detoxication and excretion of toxicants
acarcinogens and other substances
and may play a role in the occurrence of malignant tumor.
