1. Despite speculation that the CYP2C19 gene may contain CpG islands, there has been little direct assessment of the role for epigenetics in the regulation of this pharmacogene. The effect of 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5azaDC), a DNA methyltransferase inhibitor, and trichostatin A (TSA), an inhibitor of histone deacetylases, on the expression of CYP2C19 and five of its known transcription factors (TF) has been assessed in cell lines derived from neoplastic liver and intestine. 2. CYP2C19 mRNA was substantially up-regulated (>18-fold) after treatment with 5azaDC despite the fact that the two intronic CpG islands in this gene remained substantially methylated (>50%). The TF NR1I3 was also consistently up-regulated after treatment with 5azaDC. NR1I3 lacks CpG islands in the proximal promoter region and is therefore not likely to be directly regulated by DNA methylation. Therefore, it appears that 5azaDC treatment affects an unidentified upstream regulator of both CYP2C19 and/or NR1I3. This is supported by the fact that the relationships between TF for CYP2C19 and the expression of this target gene in human liver samples only accounted for ∼70% of the variability of CYP2C19 mRNA levels. These data suggest that an yet un-identified 'master regulator' of CYP2C19 transcription could itself be a target of epigenetic control.

D018160 Receptors, Cytoplasmic and Nuclear Intracellular receptors that can be found in the cytoplasm or in the nucleus. They bind to extracellular signaling molecules that migrate through or are transported across the CELL MEMBRANE. Many members of this class of receptors occur in the cytoplasm and are transported to the CELL NUCLEUS upon ligand-binding where they signal via DNA-binding and transcription regulation. Also included in this category are receptors found on INTRACELLULAR MEMBRANES that act via mechanisms similar to CELL SURFACE RECEPTORS.
