This study evaluated the underlying mechanistic links between genetic variability in vitamin K metabolic pathway genes ( and ) and phylloquinone hydroxylation activity using genotype- and haplotype-based approaches. Specifically, we characterized genetic variability in the locus and compared common single allele genotypes and common haplotypes as predictors of hepatic gene expression, enzyme abundance, and phylloquinone (VK) ω-hydroxylation kinetics. We measured and mRNA levels, CYP4F2 and CYP4F11 protein abundances, and the VK concentration-dependent ω-hydroxylation rate in matched human liver nucleic acid and microsome samples, utilizing a novel population modeling approach. Results indicate that accounting for the allele alone is sufficient to capture most of the genetic-derived variability in the observed phenotypes. Additionally, our findings highlight the important contribution that CYP4F11 makes toward vitamin K metabolism in the human liver.
本研究采用基于基因型和单倍型的方法,评估了维生素K代谢途径基因(和)的遗传变异性与叶绿醌羟基化活性之间潜在的机制联系。具体而言,我们对该基因座的遗传变异性进行了表征,并比较了常见的单等位基因基因型和常见单倍型,将其作为肝脏基因表达、酶丰度和叶绿醌(VK)ω-羟基化动力学的预测指标。我们利用一种新型的群体建模方法,在匹配的人肝脏核酸和微粒体样本中测量了和mRNA水平、CYP4F2和CYP4F11蛋白丰度以及VK浓度依赖性ω-羟基化速率。结果表明,仅考虑等位基因就足以捕捉观察到的表型中大部分遗传衍生的变异性。此外,我们的研究结果突出了CYP4F11对人肝脏中维生素K代谢的重要贡献。
