Cytochrome P450 (CYP) monooxygenases catalyze the
oxidation of a large number of endogenous compounds and the majority of ingested environmental chemicals, leading to their elimination and
often to their metabolic activation to toxic products. This enzyme
system therefore provides our primary defense against xenobiotics and
is a major determinant in the therapeutic efficacy of pharmacological agents. To evaluate the importance of hepatic P450s in normal homeostasis, drug pharmacology, and chemical toxicity, we have conditionally deleted the essential electron transfer protein, NADH:ferrihemoprotein reductase (EC 1.6.2.4, cytochrome P450 reductase,
CPR) in the liver, resulting in essentially complete ablation of
hepatic microsomal P450 activity. Hepatic CPR-null mice could no longer
break down cholesterol because of their inability to produce bile
acids, and whereas hepatic lipid levels were significantly increased,
circulating levels of cholesterol and triglycerides were severely
reduced. Loss of hepatic P450 activity resulted in a 5-fold increase in
P450 protein, indicating the existence of a negative feedback pathway
regulating P450 expression. Profound changes in the in vivo
metabolism of pentobarbital and acetaminophen indicated that
extrahepatic metabolism does not play a major role in the disposition
of these compounds. Hepatic CPR-null mice developed normally and
were able to breed, indicating that hepatic microsomal P450-mediated
steroid hormone metabolism is not essential for fertility,
demonstrating that a major evolutionary role for hepatic P450s is to
protect mammals from their environment.
