Application

Application Comment Organism
pharmacology three days infection of GCSh-shRNA and CYP3A4 simultaneously with H4IIE cells decreases the intracellular GSH level by 50-60% without affecting the expression level of CYP3A4. Using this cell-based system sensitive to the cytotoxicity of reactive metabolites, drugs known for their hepatotoxicity are evaluated. Troglitazone, flutamide, and acetaminophen cause significant decreases of cell viability in CYP3A4/GCSh-shRNA group compared to the other groups such as GFP, CYP3A4, GFP/GCSh-shRNA, indicating that reactive metabolites produced by CYP3A4 and subsequently conjugated by GSH are involved in the cytotoxicity Rattus norvegicus

physiological function knockdown of gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase heavy chain subunit by an adenovirus vector with short hairpin RNA against GCSh. Three days infection of GCSh-shRNA and CYP3A4 simultaneously with H4IIE cells decreases the intracellular GSH level by 50-60% without affecting the expression level of CYP3A4. Using this cell-based system sensitive to the cytotoxicity of reactive metabolites, drugs known for their hepatotoxicity are evaluated.
