- Abstract
trans-Resveratrol (3,5,4'-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene) has been reported to confer chemoprotection against 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced carcinogenicity in a murine model. A potential mechanism for this effect by trans-resveratrol is inhibition of DMBA-bioactivating cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes such as CYP1B1, CYP1A1, and CYP1A2. In the present study, we examined in detail the in vitro inhibitory effects of trans-resveratrol on these three human CYP enzymes. trans-Resveratrol decreased 7-ethoxyresorufin O-dealkylation activity catalyzed by human recombinant CYP1B1, CYP1A1, and CYP1A2 in a concentration-dependent manner and by a mixed type of inhibition. This direct inhibition was enzyme-selective, as judged by the differences in the apparent K(i) values (0.8 +/- 0.1 microM, 1.2 +/- 0.1 microM, and 15.5 +/- 1.1 microM for CYP1B1, CYP1A1, and CYP1A2, respectively). Preincubating recombinant CYP1A2 or human liver microsomes with trans-resveratrol and NADPH prior to the initiation of substrate oxidation resulted in a time- and concentration-dependent decrease in catalytic activity. The inactivation of liver microsomal CYP1A2 by trans-resveratrol required NADPH, was not reversible by dialysis, and was not affected by the trapping agents glutathione, N-acetylcysteine, catalase, or superoxide dismutase, but was attenuated by a CYP1A2 substrate, imipramine. Analysis of a panel of individual human liver microsomes showed intersample differences in the response to the in vitro inactivation by trans-resveratrol. In contrast to CYP1A2, CYP1B1 was not subject to inactivation by this compound and the reduction in CYP1A1 activity was time- but not concentration-dependent. In summary, trans-resveratrol differentially inhibited human CYP1 enzymes and this occurred by two distinct mechanisms: direct inhibition (mainly CYP1B1 and CYP1A1) and mechanism-based inactivation (CYP1A2).
