Higher sensitivity of female cells to ethanol: methylation of DNA lowers Cyp2e1, generating more ROS [PDF]
Background Cells taken from mouse embryos before sex differentiation respond to insults according to their chromosomal sex, a difference traceable to differential methylation.

Cytochrome P2E1 (CYP2E1) Gene Polymorphism as a Potential Prognostic Biomarker in Colorectal Cancer. [PDF]
Colon cancer is the most common type of gastrointestinal cancer. Genetic factors have been shown to have a role in the development of colorectal cancers. The aim of this study was to assess the expression of Cytochrome P2E1 (CYP2E1) gene polymorphism as a potential prognostic biomarker in the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis evaluation of patients ...

Expression of CYP2E1 gene in paint workers occupationally exposed to organic solvents
Benzene (B), toluene (T), ethylbenzene (E) and xylene (X) are used commonly in paint industry, so workers who are a high risk of exposure to organic solvent (VOCs). CYP2E1 gene encodes CYP2E1 which plays an important role in the metabolism and bio-activation of volatile organic compounds. When workers expose to VOCs, their body will have a mechanism to

ADH1B, ADH1B/C and CYP2E1 Gene Polymorphism and the Risk of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. [PDF]
Increasing alcohol consumption by women of childbearing age contributes to more frequent cases of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. The cause of the syndrome is fetal alcohol exposure, particularly what is referred to as high prenatal alcohol exposure.

Association of CYP2E1 gene polymorphisms with bladder cancer risk: A systematic review and meta-analysis. [PDF]
Human cytochrome P450 (CYP) is an enzyme responsible for the metabolic activation of many carcinogens, including nitrosamines. CYP2E1 represents a major CYP isoform and is expressed in the human urothelial cells. Recent studies have investigated the association of CYP2E1 gene polymorphisms with bladder cancer risk but have shown contradictory results ...

CHIN117 is a dual cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 (CYSLTR1) antagonist and G‐protein‐coupled bile acid receptor 1 (GPBAR1) agonist. In the liver, GPBAR1 and CYSLTR1 are coexpressed by liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs), HSCs, circulating monocytes/macrophages, and liver resident macrophages (Kupffer cells).

Transcriptional Control of the Rat Hepatic CYP2E1 Gene [PDF]
The rat hepatic CYP2E1 gene becomes transcriptionally activated within 1 day after birth. This activation can be mimicked by using the 5' end of the gene in a cell-free nuclear extract prepared from hepatocytes taken from rats at different developmental stages.

The incidence of liver injury in Uyghur patients treated for TB in Xinjiang Uyghur autonomous region, China, and its association with hepatic enzyme polymorphisms nat2, cyp2e1, gstm1 and gstt1. [PDF]
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Of three first-line anti-tuberculosis (anti-TB) drugs, isoniazid is most commonly associated with hepatotoxicity. Differences in INH-induced toxicity have been attributed to genetic variability at several loci, NAT2, CYP2E1 ...

Histone modification-mediated CYP2E1 gene expression and apoptosis of HepG2 cells [PDF]
The incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma is rising due to alcohol drinking, hepatitis C viral infection and metabolic syndrome. Differential expression of CYP2E1 may play a pleiotropic role in the multistep process of liver carcinogenesis. Considerable attention has focused on the antitumor effect of trichostatin A (TSA) as well as CYP2E1 expression ...
