Quantitative Proteomics of Hepatic Drug-Metabolizing Enzymes and Transporters in Patients With Colorectal Cancer Metastasis.

ABSTRACT: The impact of liver cancer metastasis on protein abundance of 22 drug-metabolizing enzymes (DMEs) and 25 transporters was investigated using liquid chromatography-tandem accurate mass spectrometry targeted proteomics. Microsomes were prepared from liver tissue taken from 15 healthy individuals and 18 patients with cancer (2 primary and 16 metastatic). Patient samples included tumors and matching histologically normal tissue. The levels of cytochrome P450 (CYPs 2B6, 2D6, 2E1, 3A4, and 3A5) and uridine 5'-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs 1A1, 1A6, 1A9, 2B15, 2B4, and 2B7) were lower in histologically normal tissue from patients relative to healthy controls (up to 6.6-fold) and decreased further in tumors (up to 21-fold for CYPs and 58-fold for UGTs). BSEP and MRPs were also suppresse
