From the Human CYP3A enzymes play a pivotal role in the
metabolism of many drugs, and the variability of their expression among
individuals may have a strong impact on the efficacy of drug treatment.
However, the individual contributions of the four CYP3A
genes to total CYP3A activity remain unclear. To elucidate the role of
CYP3A7, we have studied its expression in human liver and
intestine. In both organs, expression of CYP3A7 mRNA
was polymorphic. The recently identified CYP3A7*1C allele
was a consistent marker of increased CYP3A7 expression both
in liver and intestine, whereas the CYP3A7*1B allele was
associated with increased CYP3A7 expression only in liver.
Because of the replacement of part of the CYP3A7 promoter by the corresponding region of CYP3A4, the
CYP3A7*1C allele contains the proximal ER6 motif of
CYP3A4. The pregnane X and constitutively activated
receptors were shown to bind with higher affinity to CYP3A4-ER6 than to
CYP3A7-ER6 motifs and transactivated only promoter constructs
containing CYP3A4-ER6. Furthermore, we identified mutations in
CYP3A7*1C in addition to the ER6 motif that were necessary only for activation by the constitutively activated receptor. We
conclude that the presence of the ER6 motif of CYP3A4
mediates the high expression of CYP3A7 in subjects carrying
CYP3A7*1C.
