UGT1A1 is induced by phenobarbital. We investigated whether three common UGT1A1 variants are associated with the variability in UGT1A1 inducibility. Human hepatocytes were incubated with 2mM phenobarbital for 2 and 6 days followed by 5 mu M SN-38 (1 h), a UGT1A1 probe. SN-38 glucuronidation in the cell media was measured by high-performance liquid chromatography. Three UGT1A1 promoter variants [-53(TA) (6 > 7), - 3156G > A and - 3279T > G] were genotyped. Significant induction of UGT1A1 catalytic activity was observed in 82% and 100% of the cultures treated with phenobarbital for 2 days (median fold-induction = 1.6, range 1.3 - 2.8; n= 28) and 6 days (median fold-induction = 2.8, range 1.6 - 6.4; n= 16), respectively. After 2 days of treatment, a negative correlation was observed between the UGT1A1 basal activities and the fold-induction (Spearman r= - 0.52, P < 0.005). By contrast, the UGT1A1 activities in the basal and induced states were highly correlated (Spearman r = 0.95, P < 0.0001). Similar results were observed after 6 days of treatment. The allele frequencies were not significantly different between induced (n= 22) and non-induced preparations (n= 6) (P > 0.05). The fold-induction was not associated with any variants (P > 0.05). The basal and induced activities were correlated with - 53( TA) (6 > 7) (and with - 3156G > A due to almost complete linkage with the - 53 indel) (P= 0.001). No association was found with the - 3279T > G single nucleotide polymorphism (P > 0.05). The indel at - 53 affects the basal phenotype and appears to limit the hepatocyte capability of maximal induction after phenobarbital. However, variants at - 53, - 3156 and - 3279 are not associated with variability in UGT1A1 inducibility.
