    Abstract Methylmercury (MeHg) and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxin (TCDD) are potent environmental pollutants implicated in the modulation of xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes, particularly the cytochrome P450 1 family (CYP1) which is regulated by the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR). However, the co-exposure to MeHg and TCDD raises concerns about their potential combined effects, necessitating thorough investigation. The primary objective of this study was to investigate the individual and combined effects of MeHg and TCDD on AHR-regulated CYP1 enzymes in mouse extrahepatic tissues. Therefore, C57BL/6 mice were administrated with MeHg (2.5 mg/kg) in the absence and presence of TCDD (15 μg/kg) for 6 and 24 h. The AHR-regulated CYP1 mRNA and protein expression levels were measured in the heart, lung, and kidney, using RT real-time PCR and western blot, respectively. Interestingly, treatment with MeHg exhibited mainly inhibitory effect, particularly, it decreased the basal level of Cyp1a1 and Cyp1a2 mRNA and protein, and that was more evident at the 24 h time point in kidney followed by heart. Similarly, when mice were co-exposed, MeHg was able to reduce the TCDD-induced Cyp1a1 and Cyp1a2 expression, however, MeHg potentiated kidney Cyp1b1 mRNA expression, opposing the observed change on its protein level. Also, MeHg induced antioxidant NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1) mRNA and protein in kidney, while heme-oxygenase (HO-1) mRNA was up-regulated in heart and kidney. In conclusion, this study reveals intricate interplay between MeHg and TCDD on AHR-regulated CYP1 enzymes, with interesting inhibitory effects observed that might be significant for procarcinogen metabolism. Varied responses across tissues highlight the potential implications for environmental health.

    Abstract Inorganic arsenic (iAs) is a natural toxicant which, upon entering the biosphere, undergoes extensive biotransformation and becomes a portal for generating various organic intermediates/products. The chemical diversity of iAs-derived organoarsenicals (oAs) is accompanied by varying degree of toxicity that can be held responsible, at least partly, for the overall health outcome of the originally encountered parent inorganic molecule. Such toxicity may originate from arsenicals ability to modulate cytochrome P450 1A (CYP1A) enzymes, whose activity is critical in activating/detoxifying procarcinogens. In this study, we evaluated the effect of monomethylmonothioarsonic acid (MMMTA

    Abstract Arsenic trioxide (ATO) is a highly toxic arsenical which has been successfully exploited for treating acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). Unfortunately, its therapeutic efficacy is accompanied by serious toxicities with undeciphered mechanisms. Cytochrome P450 1A (CYP1A) enzymes undergo modulation by arsenicals, with ensuing critical consequences regarding drug clearance or procarcinogen activation. Here, we investigated the potential of ATO to alter basal and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD)-induced CYP1A1/1A2 expressions. Mouse-derived hepatoma Hepa-1c1c7 cells were exposed to 0.63, 1.25, and 2.5 μM ATO with or without 1 nM TCDD. ATO increased TCDD-induced CYP1A1/1A2 mRNA, protein, and activity. Constitutively, ATO induced Cyp1a1/1a2 transcripts and CYP1A2 protein. ATO increased AHR nuclear accumulation and subsequently increased XRE-luciferase reporter activity. ATO enhanced CYP1A1 mRNA and protein stabilities. In conclusion, ATO up-regulates CYP1A in Hepa-1c1c7 cells transcriptionally, post-transcriptionally, and post-translationally. Therefore, ATO can be implicated in clearance-related interactions with CYP1A1/1A2 substrates, or in excessive activation of environmental procarcinogens.

    Abstract Arsenic is a naturally occurring hazardous element that is environmentally ubiquitous in various chemical forms. Upon exposure, the human body initiates an elimination pathway of progressive methylation into relatively less bioreactive and more easily excretable pentavalent methylated forms. Given its association with decreasing the internal burden of arsenic with ensuing attenuation of its related toxicities, biomethylation has been applauded for decades as a pure route of arsenic detoxification. However, the emergence of detectable trivalent species with profound toxicity has opened a long-standing debate regarding whether arsenic methylation is a detoxifying or bioactivating mechanism. In this review, we approach the topic of arsenic metabolism from both perspectives to create a complete picture of its potential role in the mitigation or aggravation of various arsenic-related pathologies.

    Abstract Arsenic is a hazardous heavy metalloid that imposes threats to human health globally. It is widely spread throughout the environment in various forms. Arsenic-based compounds are either inorganic compounds (iAs) or organoarsenicals (oAs), where the latter are biotically generated from the former. Exposure to arsenic-based compounds results in varying biochemical derangements in living systems, leading eventually to toxic consequences. One important target for arsenic in biosystems is the network of metabolic enzymes, especially the superfamily of cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs) because of their prominent role in both endobiotic and xenobiotic metabolism. Therefore, the alteration of the CYPs by different arsenicals has been actively studied in the last few decades. We have previously summarized the findings of former studies investigating arsenic associated modulation of different CYPs in human experimental models. In this review, we focus on non-human models to get a complete picture about possible CYPs alterations in response to arsenic exposure.

    Abstract Arsenic trioxide (ATO) has evolved from an environmental threat to a successful therapy for acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) and probably for solid tumors in the future. However, its efficacy comes at a cost of multi-organ toxicity whose mechanism remains unresolved. Arsenicals have been reported to modulate cytochrome P450 1A (CYP1A) enzymes, thus modifying activation/detoxification of drugs/procarcinogens. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the possible effects of ATO on CYP1A1 and CYP1A2, in absence and presence of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) using in vivo and in vitro models. For this purpose, C57BL/6 mice were intraperitoneally injected with 8 mg/kg ATO with or without 15 μg/kg TCDD for 6 and 24 h. Furthermore, HepG2 cells were treated with ATO (1, 5, and 10 μM) with or without 1 nM TCDD for 6 and 24 h. ATO significantly inhibited TCDD-mediated induction of CYP1A1/1A2 mRNA, protein, and activity in both models. ATO differentially modulated CYP1A1/1A2 basal levels in vivo. We also demonstrated that ATO downregulates CYP1A through inhibiting the transcriptional activation of its regulatory element at both basal and inducible levels. Additionally, ATO significantly induced mRNA and protein of heme oxygenase 1 (HMOX1) in vivo and in vitro. In HepG2 cells, inhibition of HMOX1 by tin (IV) mesoporphyrin (IX) (SnMP) resulted in a partial restoration of the TCDD-mediated induction of CYP1A1 activity that was inhibited by ATO co-exposure. Our findings show that ATO alters both constitutive and inducible CYP1A1/1A2 expressions through transcriptional and HMOX1-mediated post-translational mechanisms. This implies the possible involvement of ATO in clearance-related consequences for the substrates of these enzymes such as drug-drug interactions or suboptimal toxicant elimination.

    Abstract The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) functions as a vital ligand-activated transcription factor, governing both physiological and pathophysiological processes. Notably, it responds to xenobiotics, leading to a diverse array of outcomes. In the context of drug repurposing, we present here a combined approach of utilizing structure-based virtual screening and molecular dynamics simulations. This approach aims to identify potential AhR modulators from Drugbank repository of clinically approved drugs. By focusing on the AhR PAS-B binding pocket, our screening protocol included binding affinities calculations, complex stability, and interactions within the binding site as a filtering method. Comprehensive evaluations of all DrugBank small molecule database revealed ten promising hits. This included flibanserin, butoconazole, luliconazole, naftifine, triclabendazole, rosiglitazone, empagliflozin, benperidol, nebivolol, and zucapsaicin. Each exhibiting diverse binding behaviors and remarkably very low binding free energy. Experimental studies further illuminated their modulation of AhR signaling, and showing that they are consistently reducing AhR activity, except for luliconazole, which intriguingly enhances the AhR activity. This work demonstrates the possibility of using computational modelling as a quick screening tool to predict new AhR modulators from extensive drug libraries. Importantly, these findings hold immense therapeutic potential for addressing AhR-associated disorders. Consequently, it offers compelling prospects for innovative interventions through drug repurposing.
