CYP1A2 expression is constitutively high in mouse liver and is well known for metabolizing several drugs and many procarcinogens to reactive intermediates that can cause toxicity or cancer. In the present study, the basal level of hepatic CYP1A2 activity was shown to vary among different inbred mouse strains. The highest methoxyresorufin-O-demethylase activity (261 ± 52 pmol/mg protein/min) was registered in CC57BR and the lowest (82 ± 11 pmol/mg protein/min) in C3H/a. We have tested the hypothesis that possible polymorphisms in regulatory elements in the 5′-upstream region of the mouse CYP1A2 gene could cause the differences in CYP1A2 enzyme activity among different inbred strains. We have performed a study on the CYP1A2 gene by sequencing the regulatory region from −4675 to −4204 where two enhancer elements were recently identified. The absence of mutation prescribing the phenotype in the CYP1A2 gene was found. The region studied seems to be a highly conserved in mice and not to be associated with interstrain differences in constitutive CYP1A2 enzyme activity.
