The elucidation of the individual contributions of the four
CYP3A genes to the overall CYP3A activity has been
hampered by similarities in their sequence and function. We
investigated the expression of CYP3A mRNA species in the liver and in
various other tissues using gene-specific TaqMan probes. CYP3A4
transcripts were the most abundant CYP3A mRNA in each of the 63 white
European livers tested and accounted on average for 95% of the
combined CYP3A mRNA pool. CYP3A5 and CYP3A7 each contributed on average 2%, whereas CYP3A43 contributed 0.3% transcripts to this pool. Fourteen percent of livers exhibited an increased share of CYP3A5 transcripts (range 4-20%). These livers were either heterozygous for
the marker of the CYP3A5 polymorphism, the CYP3A5*1A allele, or
expressed very low levels of CYP3A4 mRNA. The CYP3A7 expression was
bimodal, and it was increased in 15% livers. CYP3A4 was the dominant
CYP3A in the intestine, followed by CYP3A5. CYP3A5 and CYP3A7, but not
CYP3A4, were also expressed in the adrenal gland and in the prostate,
whereas only CYP3A5 was detected in the kidney. These three tissues
were shown to express much lower levels of pregnane X receptor mRNA
than the intestine, indicating possibly a different mode of regulation
of CYP3A expression. Expression of CYP3A genes was undetectable in
peripheral blood lymphocytes. In summary, these assays and results
should aid in our efforts to further dissect the regulation and the
physiological and pharmacological significance of CYP3A isozymes.
