| Abstract | Purpose. Dietary flavonoids, present in fruits, vegetables and beverages have been demonstrated to be protective in cancer. Recently, we showed that the flavonoid chrysin induced UDP-glucuronosyl- transferase (UGT) activity and expression in the human intestinal cell line Caco-2. In the present study, we determined the specific UGT isoform(s) induced and whether this induction facilitates glucuronidation and potential detoxification of the colon carcinogen 2-hydroxyamino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (N-hydroxy-PhIP). Methods. The induction was studied by immunoblot analysis with UGT isoform-specific antibodies, by Northern blot analysis and using quercetin as an isoform-specific catalytic probe. Glucuronidation of N-hydroxy-PhIP was characterized using both recombinant UGTs and control and chrysin-treated microsomes. Results. Western blot analysis showed that pretreatment of Caco-2 cells with 25 μM chrysin induced UGT1A1 without affecting the expression of UGTs 1A6, 1A9 and 2B7. Northern blot analysis showed markedly increased expression of UGT1A1 mRNA after chrysin treatment. Similarly, glucuronidation of quercetin was greatly increased in a UGT1A1-specific way. The induction of UGT1A1 in the Caco-2 cells resulted in a 10-fold increase in the glucuronidation of N-hydroxy-PhIP. Conclusion. Dietary flavonoid-mediated induction of intestinal UGT1A1 may be important for the glucuronidation and detoxification of colon and other carcinogens as well as for the presystemic metabolism of therapeutic drugs. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
