CYP3A7 is a major P450 isoform in the human fetal liver and is involved in the metabolism of endogenous hormones such as dehydroepiandrosterone 3-sulfate and retinoic acids. This enzyme also bioactivates some carcinogens including aflatoxin B_1. Interestingly, the expression of CYP3A7 in the liver disappears after birth. The aim of this study is to elucidate the molecular mechanism responsible for the fetus-specific expression of the human CYP3A7 gene. By using human hepatoma HepG2 cells with characteristics of fetal hepatocytes and a transgenic mouse carrying EGFP reporter gene driven by the CYP3A7 promoter, we identified a novel enhancer designated as 3A7κB that confered the fetus-specific activation of the CYP3A7 gene. In HepG2 cells, tumor suppresser protein p53 bound to the 3A7κB enhancer and stimulated the CYP3A7 gene transcription. In adult hepatocytes, however, C/EBPα, which is involved in the growth-arrest and the terminal differentiation of hepatocytes, repressed the p53-mediated activation. Thus, we conclude that the fetus-specific expression of the CYP3A7 gene is controlled by the antagonistic action between p53 and C/EBPα.

CYP3A7是人类胎儿肝脏中主要的P450同工型，参与内源性马的代谢，例如3-硫酸盐和视黄酸。这种酶还可以生物活化的某些致癌物，包括黄曲霉毒素B_1。有趣的是，CYP3A7在肝脏中的表达在出生后消失。这项研究的目的是阐明负责人CYP3A7基因胎儿特异性表达的分子机制。通过使用具有胎儿肝细胞特征的人肝癌HEPG2细胞和由CYP3A7启动子驱动的携带EGFP报告基因的转基因小鼠，我们确定了一种指定为3A7κB的新型增强子，该增强子传达了CYP3A7基因的胎儿特异性激活。在HEPG2细胞中，肿瘤补充蛋白p53与3A7κB增强子结合并刺激CYP3A7基因转录。 C/EBPα参与肝细胞的生长和末端分化，抑制了p53介导的激活。这就是我们包括CYP3A7基因的胎儿特异性表达受到p53和C/EBPα之间的拮抗作用的控制。
