- Abstract
Alternative splicing at the human glucuronosyltransferase 1 gene locus (UGT1) produces alternate isoforms UGT1A_i2s that control glucuronidation activity through protein-protein interactions. Here, we hypothesized that UGT1A_i2s function into a complex protein network connecting other metabolic pathways with influence on cancer cell metabolism. This is based on a pathway enrichment analysis of proteomic data that identified several high-confidence candidate interaction proteins of UGT1A_i2 proteins in human tissues, namely the rate-limiting enzyme of glycolysis pyruvate kinase (PKM), which plays a critical role in cancer cell metabolism and tumor growth. The partnership of UGT1A_i2 and PKM2 was confirmed by co-immunoprecipitation in the HT115 colon cancer cells and was supported by a partial co-localization of these two proteins. In support of a functional role for this partnership, depletion of UGT1A_i2 proteins in HT115 cells enforced the Warburg effect with higher glycolytic rate at the expense of mitochondrial respiration, and led to lactate accumulation. Untargeted metabolomics further revealed a significantly altered cellular content of 58 metabolites including many intermediates derived from the glycolysis and TCA cycle pathways. These metabolic changes were associated with a greater migration potential. The potential relevance of our observations is supported by the down-regulation of UGT1A_i2s mRNA in colon tumors compared to normal tissues. Alternate UGT1A variants may thus be part of the expanding compendium of metabolic pathways involved in cancer biology directly contributing to the oncogenic phenotype of colon cancer cells. Findings uncover new aspects of UGT functions diverging from their transferase activity.

- Abstract
Copper (Cu2+) is an essential element that plays important roles in physiological functions of the body. However, high Cu2+ levels can have toxic implications. This study aims to investigate the constitutive response to Cu2+ exposure of xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes in cultured rat liver (H4-II-E) cell lines. Rat cells were exposed to copper sulfate (0-500 mu M) for 24 h. The effects of Cu2+ on the messenger RNA (mRNA) expressions of phase I and II enzymes and regulatory elements were examined using real-time PCR. Metallothionein mRNA expression was induced in a dose-dependent manner after treatment with Cu2+. mRNA expressions of phase I enzymes such as cytochrome P450 1A1 and 1A2 (CYP1A1 and CYP1A2) were slightly induced after exposure to low concentrations of Cu2+; however, CYP1A1 and CYP1A2 mRNA expressions were significantly downregulated at higher Cu2+ concentrations. These effects corresponded with expression of aryl hydrocarbon receptor mRNA. The mRNA expressions of phase II enzymes were reduced upon exposure to Cu2+. In conclusion, phase I and II enzyme expressions were significantly modulated upon Cu2+ exposure. These results indicated that Cu2+ exposure had toxicological implications for cultured H4-II-E cells.

- Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the tissue-specific mRNA expression of different cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms, UDP glucuronsyl transferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) and glutathione-S-transferase (GSTA1) in the different tissues (liver, mammary gland, lungs, spleen, kidney cortex, heart, masseter muscle and tongue) of cattle, using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). CYP1A1-like mRNA was expressed in all of the tissues examined, including the liver, with the highest expression level in the kidney. CYP1A2-, 2E1- and 3A4-like mRNAs were only expressed hepatically. Interestingly, significant expression of CYP2B6-like mRNA was recorded in the lung tissue, while CYP2C9-like mRNA was expressed in the liver and kidney tissues of the cattle examined. UGT1A1- and GSTA1-like mRNAs were expressed in all of the examined tissues, except the mammary glands, and the highest expression levels were recorded in the kidney. The high expression of UGT1A1 in the lung tissue and GSTA1 in the liver tissue was unique to cattle; this has not been reported for rats or mice. The findings of this study strongly suggest that the liver, kidneys and lungs of cattle are the major organs contributing to xenobiotics metabolism.
