Associations between the expression patterns of these CYPs and body mass index (BMI) were also investigated.There were considerable individual differences in epidermal <i>CYP1A2</i> mRNA expression levels, and <i>CYP1A2</i> showed a weak positive correlation with <i>CYP3A4</i> mRNA expression levels. In contrast to previous results for other organs, epidermal <i>CYP3A4</i> mRNA expression levels showed a weak positive correlation with BMI.<i>CYP3A4</i> in the epidermis may have been locally enhanced as a defence mechanism against xenobiotics in response to impaired barrier function. These differences in mRNA expression in the skin may affect the transdermal absorption of drugs, such as lidocaine and fentanyl, which are metabolised by multiple overlapping CYPs.Our study provides new insights into drug metabolism in the skin. These results are valuable for predicting drug effects and transdermal drug transfer rates in Japanese patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":23812,"journal":{"name":"Xenobiotica","volume":" ","pages":"226-232"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140864986","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study evaluates canine colonoids as a model to assess the expression and induction of essential intestinal CYP enzymes.Canine colonoids were cultured in expansion medium (EM) with Wnt-3A and in differentiation medium (DM) without Wnt-3A. We assessed the mRNA expression of <i>CYP2B11</i>, <i>CYP2C21</i>, <i>CYP3A12</i>, and <i>CYP3A98</i> using qPCR and examined the effects of rifampicin and phenobarbital as inducers.Our findings show that DM significantly increased the mRNA expression of <i>CYP3A98</i> and <i>CYP2B11</i>, but not <i>CYP3A12</i>, compared to EM. <i>CYP2C21</i>, not typically expressed in the intestine, remained unexpressed in colonoids. Rifampicin induced CYP3A98, aligning with pregnane x receptor (PXR) regulation, while phenobarbital did not, suggesting no constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) involvement. CYP2B11 did not respond to either inducer, suggesting alternative regulatory pathways in canine colonoids.This study is a pioneering effort to establish conditions for studying P450 expression in canine colonoids, confirming significant CYP3A98 expression in the canine intestine. It demonstrated colonoids can induce CYP activity post drug treatments. Further research is needed to enhance species-specific drug metabolism understanding and validate this model for broader applications.</p>","PeriodicalId":23812,"journal":{"name":"Xenobiotica","volume":" ","pages":"217-225"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11178462/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140029127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
