The changes of CYP450s in various liver diseases.

Disease typeOrganismChange of CYP450s compared to controlReference

Hepatocellular carcinomaHumanThe CYP2C9, CYP2D6, and CYP2E1 are increased. The CYP1A2, CYP2C8, and CYP2C19 activity decreased. And CYP2A6, CYP2B6, and CYP3A4/5 activity were unchanged.[10]
Non-alcoholic fatty liver diseaseHumanHepatic CYP2E1 expression increased, and its activity was also up-regulated in the context of obesity and NAFLD[11]
Viral hepatitisHumanLevels of the CYPs were generally lower in CYP1A2, CYP2C19, and CYP2E1.[12]
Liver cirrhosisHumanThe CYP1A and CYP3A levels and related enzyme activities are usually reduced. However, CYP2C, CYP2A, and CYP2B are mostly unaltered[13, 14]
CCl4-induced liver injuryMiceThe expression of CYP2E1 is significant decreased.[15]
CCl4-induced liver injuryRatThe expression of CYP3A (CYP3A2) is decreased.[16, 17]
CCl4-induced liver fibrosisRatThe mRNA level of CYP2E1 showed a significantly decreased.[18]
CCl4-induced severe liver cirrhosisRatThe inducibility of CYP1A enzymes is well maintained in compensated cirrhosis, but it is markedly reduced when liver dysfunction becomes severe[19]
Thioacetamide-induced liver cirrhosisRatThe hepatic protein expressions of CYP1A2, CYP2C6, CYP2E1, and CYP3A2 are dramatically reduced.[20]
N-dimethyl nitrosamine-induced liver cirrhosisRatThe expression of CYP1A, 2B1/2, 2C11, 2D and 3A was significantly decreased,[21, 22]
