An ultra-sensitive and easy-to-use assay for sensing human UGT1A1 activities in biological systems

The human UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1(UGT1A1),one of the most essential conjugative enzymes,is responsible for the metabolism and detoxification of bilirubin and other endogenous substances,as well as many different xenobiotic compounds.Deciphering UGT1A1 relevance to human diseases and characterizing the effects of small molecules on the activities of UGT1A1 requires reliable tools for probing the function of this key enzyme in complex biological matrices.Herein,an easy-to-use assay for highly-selective and sensitive monitoring of UGT1A1 activities in various biological matrices,using liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection(LC-FD),has been developed and validated.The newly developed LC-FD based assay has been confirmed in terms of sensitivity,specificity,precision,quantitative linear range and stability.One of its main advantages is lowering the limits of detection and quantification by about 100-fold in comparison to the previous assay that used the same probe substrate,enabling reliable quantification of lower amounts of active enzyme than any other method.The precision test demonstrated that both intra-and inter-day variations for this assay were less than 5.5%.Furthermore,the newly developed assay has also been successfully used to screen and characterize the regulatory effects of small molecules on the expression level of UGT1A1 in living cells.Ove rall,an easy-to-use LC-FD based assay has been developed for ultra-sensitive UGT1A1 activities measurements in various biological systems,providing an inexpensive and practical approach for exploring the role of UGT1A1 in human diseases,interactions with xenobiotics,and characterization modulatory effects of small molecules on this conjugative enzyme.

Apoptotic effect and mechanisms of AHPN on human skin malignant melanoma cell A375

Objective： To study apoptotic effects of synthetic retinoic acid 6-[3-（1-adamantyl）-4-hydroxyphenyl]-2-naphthalene carboxylic acid（AHPN） on human skin malignant melanoma A375 cells in comparison with the natural ligand all-trans-retinoic acid（ATRA） in vitro and the mechanisms related to the actions of AHPN. Methods：MTT assay was used to determine the anti-proliferative effects of AHPN and ATRA on A375 cells. Flow cytometry was performed to investigate the influence of AHPN and ATRA on cell cycle and cell apoptosis. In addition, transfection and luciferase activity assays were employed to explore the mechanisms of how AHPN executes its proapoptotic function. Results：Firstly, AHPN promoted apoptosis and GI arrest in A375 cells compared with ATRA. Secondly, the activity of NF-K B in A375 cells treated with AHPN increased 2-3 times compared with solvent DMSO treatment. Conclusion：AHPN, in comparison with ATRA, is a more effective alternative for therapy of malignant melanoma. The potentially proapoptotic function of AHPN requires activation of NF-K B.
