The non-coding RNA of the multidrug resistance-linked vault particle encodes multiple regulatory small RNAs

ABSTRACT: Vault particles are conserved organelles that have been implicated in multidrug resistance and intracellular transport. They are formed by three different proteins and the non-coding vault RNAs (vRNAs). Here we show that human vRNAs produce several small RNAs (svRNAs) by mechanisms different from the canonical microRNA (miRNA) pathway. At least one of these svRNAs, we named svRNAb, associates with Argonaute proteins to guide sequence-specific cleavage and regulate gene expression in a manner similar to miRNAs. We demonstrate that svRNAb downregulates CYP3A4, a key enzyme in drug metabolism. Our findings expand the repertoire of small regulatory RNAs and assign, for the first time, a function to vRNAs that may help explain the observed association between vaults and drug resistance. Keywords: Transcriptome analysis Small RNAs 18-35 nt were isolated from MCF7 cell total RNA and sequenced on the Illumina Genome Analyzer

Project description:In drug development, a system for predicting drug metabolism and drug-induced toxicity is necessary to ensure drug safety. Cytochrome P450 family 3 subfamily A member 4 (CYP3A4) is an important drug-metabolizing enzyme expressed in the liver and small intestine, and predicting CYP3A4-mediated drug metabolism and drug-induced toxicity is essential. We previously developed procedures to differentiate human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells into hepatocyte-like cells (HLCs) or intestinal epithelial-like cells (IECs) with a fetal phenotype as well as a highly efficient genome editing technology that could enhance the homologous recombination efficiency at any locus, including CYP3A4. By using human iPS cells and our genome editing technology, we generated CYP3A4-knockout (KO) iPS cell-derived HLCs and IECs for the evaluation of CYP3A4-mediated drug metabolism and drug-induced toxicity. CYP3A4 deficiency did not affect pluripotency and hepatic and intestinal differentiation capacities, and CYP3A4 activity was entirely eradicated by CYP3A4 KO. Off-target effects (e.g., inhibition of bile acid excretion) were hardly observed in CYP3A4-KO cells but were observed in CYP3A4 inhibitor-treated (e.g., ketoconazole) cells. To evaluate whether drug-induced hepatotoxicity and enterotoxicity could be predicted using our model, we exposed CYP3A4-KO HLCs and IECs to acetaminophen, amiodarone, desipramine, leflunomide, tacrine, and tolcapone and confirmed that these cells could predict CYP3A4-mediated toxicity. Finally, we examined whether the therapeutic effects of an anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) drug metabolized by CYP3A4 would be predicted using our model. CYP3A4-KO HLCs were treated with asunaprevir (antiviral drug metabolized by CYP3A4) after HCV infection, and the anti-viral effect was indeed strengthened by CYP3A4 KO. Conclusion: We succeeded in generating a novel evaluation system for prediction of CYP3A4-mediated drug metabolism and drug-induced toxicity.
