Abstract/OtherAbstract:
To validate the induction of blood lymphocyte cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) expression in alcoholic liver cirrhosis and mRNA and protein expression of CYP2E1 in freshly prepared blood lymphocytes of alcoholic liver cirrhotic (ACP), nonalcoholic cirrhotic patients (NACP), alcoholic controls (ACs), and nonalcoholic controls (NACs) were investigated. Registered ACP and NACP patients at Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Science, Lucknow, India along with NACs and ACs were included in the study. Real time polymerase chain reaction, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and CYP2E1-dependent enzyme activity were determined in blood lymphocytes isolated from cases and controls. Significant increases in CYP2E1 mRNA and protein expression were observed in freshly prepared blood lymphocytes isolated from ACs and ACP patients as compared with respective NACs or NACP patients. A concomitant increase in N-nitrosodimethyamine demethylase activity was evident in the blood lymphocytes of ACs and ACP patients. Interestingly, the comparative increase observed in CYP2E1 expression was of greater magnitude in the blood lymphocytes isolated from ACP patients, although they abstained from alcohol drinking. Findings suggest that significant increase in the CYP2E1 mRNA and protein expression in the blood lymphocytes, isolated from early stage ACP patients, can be used to predict alcohol-induced toxicity.
