1 Occupational toluene exposure induces cytochrome P450 2E1 mRNA expression in peripheral lymphocytes. Toluene cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily E member 1 Homo sapiens
2 Toluene induces expression of cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1), an enzyme involved in its own metabolism and that of other protoxicants, including some procarcinogens. Toluene cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily E member 1 Homo sapiens
3 Toluene induces expression of cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1), an enzyme involved in its own metabolism and that of other protoxicants, including some procarcinogens. Toluene cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily E member 1 Homo sapiens
4 Therefore, we investigated the association between toluene exposure and the CYP2E1 response, as assessed by mRNA content in peripheral lymphocytes or the 6-hydroxychlorzoxazone (6OH-CHZ)/chlorzoxazone (CHZ) quotient (known as CHZ metabolic ratio) in plasma, and the role of genotype (5 -flanking region RsaI/PstI polymorphic sites) in 97 male print workers. Toluene cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily E member 1 Homo sapiens
5 However, the average CYP2E1 mRNA level in peripheral lymphocytes was 1.07 (0.30-3.08), and CYP2E1 mRNA levels within subjects correlated with the toluene exposure ratio (environmental toluene concentration:urinary hippuric acid concentration) (p = 0.014).

6 However, the average CYP2E1 mRNA level in peripheral lymphocytes was 1.07 (0.30-3.08), and CYP2E1 mRNA levels within subjects correlated with the toluene exposure ratio (environmental toluene concentration:urinary hippuric acid concentration) (p = 0.014). Toluene cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily E member 1 Homo sapiens
7 In summary, with further validation, CYP2E1 mRNA content in peripheral lymphocytes could be a sensitive and noninvasive biomarker for the continuous monitoring of toluene effects in exposed persons. Toluene cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily E member 1 Homo sapiens
