Abstract

DNA microarrays and real time PCR were used to analyze the mechanism of gene induction by CYP1A1 inducers,β-naphthoflavone, and omeprazole, in the human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells. Reproducible and significant inductions were observed in a limited number of genes includingCYP1A1 and CYP1A2. Genes induced by omeprazole included several protein tyrosine kinase targets. This result confirmed that omeprazole could modulate gene expressions through protein tyrosine kinase-mediated pathway. Induction ratios were considerably different from CYP1A1 andCYP1A2 (>10-fold) to other induced genes (<5-fold).α-Naphthoflavone, which is known as an antagonist to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin, inhibited the inductions of heme oxygenase 1, glutamate-cysteine ligase (modifier unit), and thioredoxin reductase byβ-naphthoflavone but not those of CYP1A1 and CYP1A2. It unexpectedly enhanced theβ-naphthoflavone-mediatedCYP1A1 and CYP1A2 induction. These results suggest that theCYP1A1 and CYP1A2 genes, which share their5 enhancer regions, are regulated differently from the other genes.© 2002 Elsevier Science (USA)
