Abstract

Sexual differences and the composition/function of the gut microbiome are not considered the most important players in the drug metabolism field; however, from the recent data it is obvious that they may significantly affect the response of the patient to therapy. Here, we evaluated the effect of microbial colonization and sex differences on mRNA expression and the enzymatic activity of hepatic cytochromes P450 (CYPs) in germ-free (GF) mice, lacking the intestinal flora, and control specific-pathogen-free (SPF) mice. We observed a significant increase in the expression of in female SPF mice compared to the male group. However, the sex differences were erased in GF mice, and the expression of was about the same in both sexes. We have also found higher gene expression in female mice compared to male mice in both the SPF and GF groups. Moreover, these changes were confirmed at the level of enzymatic activity, where the female mice exhibit higher levels of functional CYP2C than males in both groups. Interestingly, we observed the same trend as with CYP3A enzymes: a diminished difference between the sexes in GF mice. The presented data indicate that the mouse gut microbiome plays an important role in sustaining sexual dimorphism in terms of hepatic gene expression and metabolism.

摘要

性别差异以及肠道微生物群的组成/功能在药物代谢领域并非被视为最重要的因素;然而,从最近的数据来看,它们显然可能会显著影响患者对治疗的反应。在此,我们评估了微生物定植和性别差异对无菌(GF)小鼠(缺乏肠道菌群)和对照无特定病原体(SPF)小鼠肝脏细胞色素P450(CYPs)的mRNA表达和酶活性的影响。我们观察到,与雄性组相比,雌性SPF小鼠中 的表达显著增加。然而,在GF小鼠中性别差异消失了,两性中 的表达大致相同。我们还发现,在SPF组和GF组中,雌性小鼠的 基因表达均高于雄性小鼠。此外,这些变化在酶活性水平上得到了证实,在这两个组中,雌性小鼠的功能性CYP2C水平均高于雄性。有趣的是,我们观察到与CYP3A酶相同的趋势:GF小鼠中两性之间的差异减小。所呈现的数据表明,小鼠肠道微生物群在维持肝脏基因表达和代谢方面的性别二态性方面发挥着重要作用。
