Establishment of a HepG2 cell line stably expressing CYP3A22 and identification of the metabolic activity of the probe drugs
for the evaluation of the drug metabolic characteristics of CYP3A22. Methods Sus scrofa CYP3A22 gene obtained by PCR was cloned into the eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.1 [The tissue of Bama minipig was amplified by RT-PCR. The gene was subcloned into plasmid pMD18-T (designated as pMD-3A22)
and then the gene amplified by recombinant plasmid was designated as pcDNA-3A22
]
. Then Sus scrofa CYP3A22 gene was
confirmed by sequencing. Next
the confirmed gene was transfected into HepG
2
cells by lipid-media transfection
and the transformant HepG
2
cells were screened by G418 for 10 generations. Expression of CYP3A22 in HepG
2
cells was identified by RT-PCR and Western blot analyses
and the metabolic activity of transformant HepG
2
(HepG
2
-CYP3A22) was verified by nifedipine oxidation. Results The HepG
2
-CYP3A22 line demonstrated a significantly higher oxidative activity as compared with the negative control HepG
2
line. Conclusion HepG
2
cell line stably expressing CYP3A22 was established successfully. The cell line may be useful for the studies of toxicity and pharmacology.
