Induction of cytochrome P450 1A1 gene expression by a vitamin K3 analog in mouse hepatoma Hepa-1c1c7 cells.
Nine vitamin K3 analogs were compared with respect to the induction of the cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) expression in mouse hepatoma Hepa-1c1c7 cells. 6-(4-Diethylamino)phenyl-7-chloro-5,8-quinolinedione (EA4) caused a significant induction of the CYP1A1-mediated ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase activity in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. The induction was accompanied by an increase of the Cyp1a1 mRNA transcription. The transient expression of the mouse Cyp1a1-CAT gene into cells showed that EA4 induced CAT activity. However, the aryl hydrocarbon receptor and its nuclear partner, aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator mRNA transcription, were unaffected by the EA4 treatment. When the cells were incubated with EA4 in the presence of 1 nM TCDD, the ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase activity that was induced by TCDD was significantly suppressed by EA4. Inhibition of protein synthesis by cycloheximide strongly enhanced the EA4-dependent Cyp1a1 mRNA expression. Up-regulation of protein kinase C by a 2 h preincubation with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate increased the EA4-dependent expression of the Cyp1a1 gene. In human cells, such as HepG2 (human hepatocarcinoma), MCF-7 (human breast adenocarcinoma cell line), and HL-60 (human promyelocytic cell line), the expression of CYP1A1 mRNA was also induced by EA4 treatment. Moreover, CYP1B1 mRNA was increased by EA4 in MCF-7 cells. These results indicate that EA4 modulates CYP1A1 and CYP1B1 expressions by transcriptional activation. Also, protein kinase C may be involved in the induction mechanism of CYP1A1 by EA4.
