ABSTRACT
Great changes in drug metabolizing enzyme (DME) expression occur in the fetus and child during development. Individual hepatic DME ontogeny can be categorized into one of three groups based on developmental trajectories.Some enzymes such as CYP3A7,are expressed at highest level in the fetus dur-ing the first trimester and either remain elevated or slightly de-crease during gestation,but are silenced or reduced to relatively low levels within one to two years after birth.SULT1 A1 is an ex-ample of the second group of DME.These enzymes are ex-pressed at relatively constant levels throughout gestation and into adulthood.CYP3A4 belongs to the third DME group .These en-zymes are expressed at negligible or low levels in the fetus.Sig-nificant increases in enzyme levels are exhibited within the first one to two years after birth.The epigenetic regulation refers to genomic modifications that do not involve changes in DNA se-quence and include DNA methylation,histone modifications, and non-coding RNAs.The epigenetic regulation mechanisms are responsible for the developmental expression of DME genes dur-ing liver maturation.This review will provide a summary of DME developmental expression profiles and reveal epigenetic mecha-nisms underlying variable drug metabolism and drug response. Thus,knowledge regarding DME ontogeny has permitted im-proved capability to predict drug disposition in pediatric pa-tients,which is crucial for improving drug dosing leading to opti-mal safety and efficacy in children.
