Effects of Diminished NADPH:cytochrome P450 Reductase in Human Hepatocytes on Lipid and Bile Acid Homeostasis
NADPH:cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (POR) is the obligate electron donor for microsomal cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of endogenous substances like bile acids and other steroids as well as in the oxidative metabolism of xenobiotics. P450 oxidoreductase also supports oth...

NADPH:cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (POR) is the obligate electron donor for microsomal cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of endogenous substances like bile acids and other steroids as well as in the oxidative metabolism of xenobiotics. P450 oxidoreductase also supports other redox enzymes in fatty acid and cholesterol pathways. Recently, we have established CRISPR/Cas9-mediated POR knockdown in a human hepatic cell model, HepaRG, and demonstrated the differential effects of limited POR expression on CYP activity. The aim of the present work was to systematically investigate the impact of POR knockdown with a focus on the expression of ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion) genes and related regulators. Functional consequences have been assessed using quantitative mass spectrometry for targeted metabolomics covering bile acids, and cholesterol and its precursors, and for untargeted proteomics.
