  • Descrição: In nonclinical studies, models that can predict the metabolism of drug candidates by cytochrome P450 (CYP), including Cytochrome P450 family 3 subfamily A member 4 (CYP3A4) are helpful. CYP3A4-overexpressing human cells have been used universally to evaluate whether CYP3A4 metabolizes drug-candidate compounds. However, CYP3A4-overexpressing human cell lines are problematic because their activity levels are lower than that of in vivo human CYP3A4. Heme plays a paramount role in CYP activity. The rate-limiting step in heme biosynthesis is the generation of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA). In this study, we examined whether treatment with 5-ALA to CYP3A4-POR-UGT1A1-CES2 knockin and CES1 knockout (genome-edited) Caco-2 cells enhances CYP3A4 activity. A 7-day 5-ALA treatment increased intracellular heme levels in genome-edited Caco-2 cells without cytotoxicity. Moreover, consistent with the increase in intracellular heme content, 5-ALA treatment increased CYP3A4 activity in genome-edited Caco-2 cells. The results of this research are expected to be applied to pharmacokinetic studies using CYP-overexpressing human cells containing CYP3A4. •5-ALA treatment increased intracellular heme levels in genome-edited Caco-2 cells.•Long-term 5-ALA treatment in genome-edited Caco-2 cells resulted in toxicity.•5-ALA treatment increased CYP3A4 activity in genome-edited Caco-2 cells.
