Anatomical context of Ephx1

  • This level of induction correlates well with the 5-fold induction in catalytic activity of epoxide hydrolase (using styrene 7,8-oxide as substrate) in microsomes isolated from phenobarbital-treated rats [18].
  • Therefore, we suggest that chronic phenobarbital administration increases the amount of functional epoxide hydrolase in rat liver microsomes by way of an increase in the translatable mRNA level encoding for the enzyme [18].
  • Liver poly(A)+RNA isolated from untreated and phenobarbital-treated rats has been translated in the rabbit reticulocyte cell-fre system in order to determine the level of translationally active epoxide hydrolase (EC 3.3.2.3) mRNA [18].
  • These data further support the observation that hypomethylation of specific gene sequences occurs during chemical carcinogenesis and is correlated with an elevation in the steady state level of epoxide hydrolase mRNA in persistent hepatocyte nodules [19].
  • Hyperplastic nodule and hepatoma cytosol fractions had significant amounts of epoxide hydrolase, but normal liver cytosol fraction had no immunologically detectable hydrolase [2].

Regulatory relationships of Ephx1

  • In contrast to the P-450s, microsomal epoxide hydrolase mRNAs were expressed at relative homogeneous amounts throughout the brain. beta-Naphthoflavone markedly increased the CYP1A1 and CYP1A2 mRNA contents of each brain region investigated, although this agent did not affect levels of epoxide hydrolase [24].
  • Three of four regimens increased epoxide hydrolase activity (150-600% of control) and DT-diaphorase activity (150-200% of control) [25].
  • Evidence was provided through kinetic studies that the epsilon-Gua adducts are formed primarily from 2-haloxiranes; consistent with this view, epoxide hydrolase inhibited the formation of N2,3-epsilon-Gua from vinyl chloride but alcohol dehydrogenase did not [26].
