Abstract:Aims: CYP2C19 transgenic mouse expresses the human CYP2C19 gene in the liver and developing brain, and it exhibits altered neurodevelopment associated with impairments in emotionality and locomotion. Because the validation of new animal models is essential for the understanding of the aetiology and pathophysiology of movement disorders, the objective was to characterise motoric phenotype in CYP2C19 transgenic mice and to investigate its validity as a new animal model of ataxia.

“…Overexpression of CYP2C19 in the foetal brain has been linked to smaller hippocampus and cerebellar size, which correlates with an increased susceptibility to depression and anxiety in adulthood. This highlights the intricate connection between CYP function, drug metabolism, and neurological outcomes, emphasizing the importance of understanding these relationships for both medical and developmental considerations (Jukic et al, 2017;Milosavljević et al, 2023). While these effects were observed in mice possessing multiple copies of CYP2C19, analogous distinctions are evident in humans, particularly between those lacking CYP2C19 and those expressing high levels in the liver (Persson et al, 2017;Jukic et al, 2017;Stingl et al, 2021).…”

In the area of drug development and clinical pharmacotherapy, a profound understanding of the pharmacokinetics and potential adverse reactions associated with the drug under investigation is paramount. Essential to this endeavour is a comprehensive understanding about interindividual variations in ADME genetics and the predictive capabilities of in vitro systems, shedding light on metabolite formation and the risk of adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Both the domains of pharmacogenomics and the advancement of in vitro systems are experiencing rapid expansion. Here we present an update on these burgeoning fields, providing an overview of their current status and illuminating potential future directions.
SignificanceThere is a very rapid development in the area of pharmacogenomics and in vitro systems for predicting drug pharmacokinetics and risk for adverse drug reactions. We provide an update of the current status of pharmacogenomics and developed in vitro systems on these aspects aimed to achieve a better personalized pharmacotherapy.

Because the validation of new animal models is essential for the understanding of the aetiology and pathophysiology of movement disorders, the objective was to characterise motoric phenotype in CYP2C19 transgenic mice and to investigate its validity as a new animal model of ataxia.
Methods:The rotarod, paw-print and beam-walking tests were utilised to characterise the motoric phenotype. The volumes of 20 brain regions in CYP2C19 transgenic and wild-type mice were quantified by 9.4T gadolinium-enhanced post-mortem structural neuroimaging. Antioxidative enzymatic activity was quantified biochemically. Dopaminergic alterations were characterised by chromatographic quantification of concentrations of dopamine and its metabolites and by subsequent immunohistochemical analyses. The beam-walking test was repeated after the treatment with dopamine receptor antagonists ecopipam and raclopride.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
