Functional Characterization of 29 Cytochrome P450 4F2 Variants Identified in a Population of 8380 Japanese Subjects and Assessment of Arachidonic Acid ω -Hydroxylation

Cytochrome P450 4F2 (CYP4F2) is an enzyme that is involved in the metabolism of arachidonic acid (AA), vitamin E and K, and xenobiotics including drugs. CYP4F2*3 polymorphism (rs2108622; c.1297G>A; p.Val433Met) has been associated with hypertension, ischemic stroke, and variation in the effective...

Description
Summary:Cytochrome P450 4F2 (CYP4F2) is an enzyme that is involved in the metabolism of arachidonic acid (AA), vitamin E and K, and xenobiotics including drugs. CYP4F2*3 polymorphism (rs2108622; c.1297G>A; p.Val433Met) has been associated with hypertension, ischemic stroke, and variation in the effectiveness of the anticoagulant drug warfarin. In this study, we characterized wild-type CYP4F2 and 28 CYP4F2 variants, including a Val433Met substitution, detected in 8380 Japanese subjects. The CYP4F2 variants were heterologously expressed in 293FT cells to measure the concentrations of CYP4F2 variant holoenzymes using carbon monoxide-reduced difference spectroscopy, where the wild type and 18 holoenzyme variants showed a peak at 450 nm. Kinetic parameters [Vmax , substrate concentration producing half of Vmax (S50 ), and intrinsic clearance (CL int ) as Vmax /S50 ] of AA ω-hydroxylation were determined for the wild type and 21 variants with enzyme activity. Compared with the wild type, two variants showed significantly decreased CL int values for AA ω-hydroxylation. The values for seven variants could not be determined because no enzymatic activity was detected at the highest substrate concentration used. Three-dimensional structural modeling was performed to determine the reason for reduced enzymatic activity of the CYP4F2 variants. Our findings contribute to a better understanding of CYP4F2 variant-associated diseases and possible future therapeutic strategies. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: CYP4F2 is involved in the metabolism of arachidonic acid and vitamin K, and CYP4F2*3 polymorphisms have been associated with hypertension and variation in the effectiveness of the anticoagulant drug warfarin. This study presents a functional analysis of 28 CYP4F2 variants identified in Japanese subjects, demonstrating that seven gene polymorphisms cause loss of CYP4F2 function, and proposes structural changes that lead to altered function.
