Sex-based differences in the pharmacological profiles of many drugs are due in part to the female-predominant expression of CYP3A4, which is the most important CYP isoform responsible for drug metabolism. Transcription factors trigger the sexually dimorphic expression of drug-metabolizing enzymes in response to sex-dependent growth hormone (GH) secretion. We investigated the roles of HNF6, C/EBP alpha, and RXR alpha in the regulation of human female-predominant CYP3A4, mouse female-specific CYP3A41, and rat male-specific CYP3A2 expression by GH secretion patterns using HepG2 cells, growth hormone receptor (GHR) knockout mice as well as rat models of orchiectomy and hypophysectomy. The constitutive expression of HNF6 and RXR alpha. was GH-dependent, and GHR deficiency decreased HNF6/C/EBP alpha complex levels and increased HNF6/RXR alpha complex levels. Feminine GH secretion induced the binding of HNF6 and C/EBP alpha to the CYP3A4 and Cyp3a41 promoters and HNF6/C/EBP alpha complex levels was more efficiently compared with masculine pattern. Additionally, a greater inhibition of the binding of RXR alpha to the CYP3A4 and Cyp3a41 promoters and HNF6/RXR alpha complex levels was observed by feminine GH secretion, but less inhibition was observed by masculine pattern. The binding of HNF6, C/EBP alpha, and RXR alpha to the CYP3A2 promoter was not directly regulated by androgens. RXR alpha completely abolished the synergistic activation of the CYP3A4, Cyp3a41, and CYP3A2 promoters by HNF6 and C/EBP alpha. The results demonstrate that sex-dependent GH secretion patterns affect the expressions and interactions of HNF6, C/EBP alpha, and RXR alpha as well as their binding to CYP3A genes. RXR alpha mediates the sex-dependent influence of GH on CYP3A expression as an important signalling molecule. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
