Introduction: Stevens–Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are rare but life-threatening severe cutaneous adverse reactions. Recently, strong associations of HLA-B*1502 HLA-B*5801 with carbamazepine- allopurinol-induced reactions were found in Han Chinese patients, respectively, ethnic differences the have been reported. The objective this study is to clarify involvement Japanese SJS/TEN patients. Methods: HLA-B genotyping was performed on 58 patients between July 2006...

Summary Stevens‐Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are rare but life‐threatening severe cutaneous adverse reactions. Recently, strong associations of HLA‐B*1502 with carbamazepine‐induced SJS/TEN have been found in Han Chinese patients. These confirmed several Asian populations, excluding Japanese. SJS patients carrying HLA‐B*1508, HLA‐B*1511, or HLA‐B*1521, which members the HLA‐B75 type along HLA‐B*1502, were detected studies India Thailand. In current study, we...

Although numerous studies have reported that high frequencies of loss heterozygosity (LOH) at various chromosomal arms been identified in breast cancer, differential LOH the neoplastic epithelial and surrounding stromal compartments has not well examined. Using laser capture microdissection, which enables separation epithelium from stroma, we microdissected each compartment 41 sporadic invasive adenocarcinomas breast. Frequent was both and/or compartments, ranging 25 to 69% cells, 17 61%...

In order to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and haplotype frequencies of CYP3A4 in a Japanese population, the distal enhancer proximal promoter regions, all exons, surrounding introns were sequenced from genomic DNA 416 subjects. We found 24 SNPs, including 17 novel ones: two enhancer, four promoter, one 5′-untranslated region (UTR), seven introns, three 3′-UTR. The most common SNP was c.1026+12G>A (IVS10+12G>A), with 0.249 frequency. Four non-synonymous c.554C>G (p.T185S,...

L1 (LINE-1) is a long interspersed repetitive sequence derived from retrotransposon. Transfection studies using the CAT gene as reporter demonstrated that first 155bp in human contains an element(s) responsible for promoter activity HeLa cells. The transcription was shown to initiate at nucleotide of transgene. Three prominent nuclear protein binding sites were found 5' region by DNaseI footprint analysis. One sites, designated site A located +3 +26, be essential because mutation caused...

Metabolism of administered drugs is determined by expression and activity many drug-metabolizing enzymes, such as the cytochrome P450 (P450s) family members. Pregnane X receptor (PXR) a master transcriptional regulator drug/xenobiotic-metabolizing including P450s drug transporters. In this study, we describe functional analysis four naturally occurring human PXR (hPXR) variants (R98C, R148Q, R381W, I403V) that have recently identified. By reporter gene assay using <i>CYP3A4</i>...

Aim: This preliminary study investigated genomic biomarkers for Stevens–Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), related to three antiepileptic drugs, zonisamide, phenobarbital phenytoin. Patients & methods:HLA class I HLA-DRB1 loci were genotyped Japanese patients with zonisamide-, phenobarbital- or phenytoin-induced SJS/TEN (n = 12, 8 9, respectively) healthy volunteers 2878). Results: Carrier frequencies of HLA-A*02:07 in zonisamide-induced the general population 41.7...

The small intestine plays an important role in all aspects of pharmacokinetics, but there is no system for the comprehensive evaluation small-intestinal including drug metabolism and absorption. In this study, we aimed to construct intestinal pharmacokinetics generate pharmacokinetically functional enterocytes from human induced pluripotent stem cells. Using activin A fibroblast growth factor 2, differentiated these cells into cell–like cells, resulting were a medium containing epidermal...

In this study, we aimed to elucidate the effects and mechanism of action valproic acid on hepatic differentiation from human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived progenitor cells. Human cells were differentiated into endodermal in presence activin A then using dimethyl sulfoxide. Hepatic matured hepatocyte growth factor, oncostatin M, dexamethasone with that was added during maturation process. After 25 days differentiation, expressed marker genes drug-metabolizing enzymes exhibited enzyme...

Aequorin is a monomeric Ca2+-binding protein (Mr, 21,400) that emits light upon reacting with Ca2+. The has three sites, cysteine residues, and noncovalently bound chromophore consists of coelenterazine molecular oxygen. Light emitted via an intramolecular reaction in which oxidized by the After emission, aequorin may be regenerated incubating coelenterazine, dissolved oxygen, EDTA, 2-mercaptoethanol. To understand structure-function relationships this protein, we used technique...

Glucuronidation, catalyzed by UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs), is important in the detoxification and enhanced elimination of a large number endogenous exogenous substrates. The human UGT1A gene complex contains at least nine variations exon 1, common exons 2–5, single 1 splices to 2–5 (1). Of isoforms, UGT1A1 primarily responsible for glucuronidation bilirubin liver can also conjugate phenols, anthraquinones, flavonoids, variety therapeutic drugs their metabolites (e.g., SN-38, an...
