    Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the optimal pH for acyl-glucuronidation formation with carboxylic acid-containing compounds in human and rat liver microsomes to improve the predictability of their hepatic clearance. The optimal pH for acyl-glucuronidation of all 17 compounds was around pH 6.0 in human and rat liver microsomes. Correlation analysis was done with the predicted in vitro intrinsic clearance (CL

    Abstract Felbamate (FBM) is an antiepileptic drug that has minimal toxicity in preclinical toxicological species but has a serious idiosyncratic drug toxicity (IDT) in humans. The formation of reactive metabolites is common among most drugs associated with IDT, and 2-phenylpropenal (2-PP) is believed to be the cause of IDT by FBM. It is important to consider the species difference in susceptibility to IDT between experimental animals and humans. In the present study, we used an in vitro and in vivo model system to reveal species difference in IDT of FBM. Human cytochrome P450 (CYP) and carboxylesterase (CES) expressing microsomes were used to clarify the isozymes involved in the metabolism of FBM. The remaining amount of FBM was significantly reduced in incubation with microsomes expressing human CYP2C8, 2C9, 2E1, and CES1c isozymes. Chimeric mice with humanized liver are expected to predict IDT in humans. Therefore, metabolite profiles in chimeric mice with humanized liver were investigated after administration of FBM. Metabolites after glutathione (GSH) conjugation of 2-phenylpropenal (2-PP), which is the reactive metabolite responsible for FBM-induced IDT, were detected in chimeric mice plasma and liver homogenate. Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) visualizes distribution of FBM and endogenous GSH, and GSH levels in human hepatocyte were decreased after administration of FBM. In this study, we identified CYP and CES isozymes involved in the metabolism of FBM and confirmed reactive metabolite formation and subsequent decrease in GSH using humanized animal model. These results would provide useful information for the susceptibility to IDT between experimental animals and humans.

    Abstract Liver resection is performed to remove tumors in patients with liver cancer, but the procedure's suitability depends on the regenerative ability of the liver. It is important to consider the effects of exogenous factors, such as diets, on liver regeneration for the recovery of function. The evaluation of drug metabolism during liver regeneration is also necessary because liver dysfunction is generally observed after the operation. Here, we investigated the influence of a purified diet (AIN-93G) on liver regeneration and changes in the mRNA expression of several cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms in the liver and small intestine using a two-thirds partial hepatectomy (PH) mouse model fed with a standard diet (MF) and a purified diet. Liver regeneration was significantly delayed in the purified diet group relative to that in the standard diet group. The liver Cyp2c55 and Cyp3a11 expression was increased at 3 day after PH especially in the purified diet group. Bile acid may partly cause the differences in liver regeneration and CYP expression between two types of diets. On the other hand, Cyp3a13 expression in the small intestine was transiently increased at day 1 after PH in both diet groups. The findings suggest that compensatory induction of the CYP expression occurred in the small intestine after attenuation of drug metabolism potential in the liver. The present results highlight the importance of the relationship between liver regeneration, drug metabolism, and exogenous factors for the effective treatment, including surgery and medication, in patients after liver resection or transplantation.

    Abstract Behcet's disease (BD) is a polysymptomatic and recurrent systemic vasculitis with a chronic course and unknown cause. The pathogenesis of BD has not been fully elucidated; however, BD has been considered to be a typical Th1-mediated inflammatory disease, characterized by elevated levels of Th1 cytokines such as IFN-γ, IL-2, and TNF-α. Recently, some studies reported that Th17-associated cytokines were increased in BD; thus, Th17 cells and the IL17/IL23 pathway may play important roles in the pathogenesis of BD. In this chapter, we focus on the pathogenic role of Th17 cells in BD.

    Abstract Objectives: Galectin-3 is involved in various biological activities, including immune activations and fibrosis. Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) are autoimmune diseases of unknown aetiology, often complicated by interstitial lung disease (ILD). The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression of galectin-3 in sera and tissues of patients with IIM and assess the associations of galectin-3 with patient characteristics and disease activity.
    Results: Serum galectin-3 levels were significantly higher in IIM patients than in healthy controls. The serum galectin-3 levels positively correlated with serum levels of inflammatory markers and proinflammatory cytokines/chemokines and the Myositis Intention-to-Treat Activity Index. Stratification analysis revealed that patients with IIM-associated ILD (IIM-ILD) had significantly higher levels of serum galectin-3 than those without IIM-ILD. In addition, patients with acute/subacute interstitial pneumonia had significantly higher levels of serum galectin-3 than those with chronic interstitial pneumonia. Furthermore, serum galectin-3 levels in IIM-ILD patients correlated with the radiological assessments of parenchymal lung involvement and treatment response. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that galectin-3 was expressed in inflammatory cells of myositis and dermatitis sections, whereas in ILD sections, galectin-3 was expressed in interstitial fibrosis and inflammatory cells.
    Conclusion: Galectin-3 may be involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory and fibrotic conditions in IIM and can serve as a potential biomarker of disease activity, especially in patients with IIM-ILD.

    Abstract Xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes (XMEs) expressed in the olfactory epithelium (OE) are known to metabolize odorants. Aldehyde oxidase (AOX) recognizes a wide range of substrates among which are substrates with aldehyde groups. Some of these AOX substrates are odorants, such as benzaldehyde and n-octanal. One of the mouse AOX isoforms, namely AOX2 (mAOX2), was shown to be specifically expressed in mouse OE but its role to metabolize odorants in this tissue remains unexplored. In this study, we investigated the involvement of mouse AOX isoforms in the oxidative metabolism of aldehyde-odorants in the OE. Mouse OE extracts effectively metabolized aromatic and aliphatic aldehyde-odorants. Gene expression analysis revealed that not only mAOX2 but also the mAOX3 isoform is expressed in the OE. Furthermore, evaluation of inhibitory effects using the purified recombinant enzymes led us to identify specific inhibitors of each isoform, namely chlorpromazine, 17β-estradiol, menadione, norharmane, and raloxifene. Using these specific inhibitors, we defined the contribution of mAOX2 and mAOX3 to the metabolism of aldehyde-odorants in the mouse OE. Taken together, these findings demonstrate that mAOX2 and mAOX3 are responsible for the oxidation of aromatic and aliphatic aldehyde-odorants in the mouse OE, implying their involvement in odor perception.
