Human CYP3A Expression under Hypertonic Stimuli In Vivo
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We previously showed that human CYP3A expression in vitro is under the transcriptional control mediated by NFAT5, which is a tonicity responsive transcriptional factor. Interestingly, hypertonicity increases CYP3A expression, while hypotonicity decreases it, suggesting constitutive regulation roles of the NFAT5‐CYP3A pathway. In contrast, mouse Cyp3a was unresponsive to ambient hypertonicity in vitro . In the present study, our objective was to show if human CYP3A expression can be induced by hypertonic stimuli in vivo . The humanized CYP3A4–3A7 transgenic mice were subjected to 4 cycles of 24h water deprivation every other day, or to a 7‐day high‐salt diet (8% salt content, HSD), that mimics the dehydration and hypertonic luminal content in the intestine, respectively. In the kidney of mice undergoing the cyclic dehydration, NFAT5‐regulated BGT1 mRNA was significantly increased compared to control (5.9±1.1 fold: M±SEM; p=0.003). Fold‐changes of the CYP3A4 and 3A7 were 2.5±0.5 (p=0.02) and 0.7±0.2 (p=0.13), respectively. In mice after HSD, fold‐induction of the duodenal BGT1, CYP3A4 and 3A7 expressions were 25.2±8.2 (p=0.02), 4.7±0.9 (p=0.01) and 2.0±0.3 (p=0.08), respectively. Our findings suggest that human CYP3A transcription is under the influence of ambient tonicity. Direct involvement of NFAT5 in vivo awaits further studies. CIHR supported

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
