Cytochrome P450 CYP1A1: wider roles in cancer progression and prevention

Abstract: CYP1A1 is one of the main cytochrome P450 enzymes, examined extensively for its capacity to activate compounds with carcinogenic properties. Continuous exposure to inhalation chemicals and environmental carcinogens is thought to increase the level of CYP1A1 expression in extrahepatic tissues, through the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR). Although the latter has long been recognized as a ligand-induced transcription factor, which is responsible for the xenobiotic activating pathway of several phase I and phase I… Show more

“…The increase in CYP1A1 activity leads to H 2 O 2 production. An increase in cellular levels of H 2 O 2 has been linked to several key alternations in cells leading to cancer including DNA alternation, cell proliferation, apoptosis resistance, metastasis, angiogenesis and hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (Androutsopoulos et al, 2009;Wincent et al, 2012). In current study statistically significant downregulation of GSTP1 was observed in brain tumor samples compared to control samples.…”

“…Cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) is a member of the CYP1 family and participates in the metabolism of a vast number of xenobiotics, as well as endogenous substrates [1]. The metabolism of xenobiotics may well lead to their activation, and in the case of CYP1A1, the activation of benzo[a]pyrene represents a well-studied reaction [1,2].…”

“…Cytochrome P450s are enzymes that catalyze Phase-I metabolism reactions, such as C-, N-and S-oxidation and dealkylation [1]. Cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) is a member of the CYP1 family and participates in the metabolism of a vast number of xenobiotics, as well as endogenous substrates [1].…”

“…CYP1A1 has been studied as the hallmark of AHR-mediated gene induction. CYP1A1 metabolically activates a variety of environmental carcinogens, and furthermore, its overexpression can lead to carcinogenesis (6). Understanding the regulation of CYP1A1 will therefore contribute not only to an understanding of the dysregulation of AHR target genes but also the resulting toxicity of this dysregulation.…”
