Dexamethasone, which acts on nuclear receptors, is used together with P-gp and
Cyp3a4 substrates at different doses in the treatment of diverse diseases. The aim
of the study is to determine the effect of different doses of dexamethasone on the
expressions and functions of P-gp and Cyp3a4 (mouse homologues of Cyp3a4 are
Cyp3a11 and Cyp3a13). Animals (n=54) were divided into 9 equal groups. The
control group was given only water. (The second group received fexofenadine, the
third group received midazolam, the fourth group received low-dose dexamethasone,
and the fifth group received high-dose dexamethasone. Low dose dexamethasone
was administered to the sixth and seventh groups, and high dose dexamethasone
was administered to the eighth and ninth groups.) 24 hours after these applications,
fexofenadine was administered to the sixth and eighth groups, and midazolam was
administered to the seventh and ninth groups. Synthesis of mdr1a, mdr1b, Cyp3a11
and Cyp3a13 in the small intestine and liver were determined using RT-qPCR.
Plasma concentrations of fexofenadine and midazolam were determined using
HPLC-UV. The effect of dexamethasone on Cyp3a11 expression was determined to
be dose-related, while its effect on P-gp expression was not dose-related. Midazolam,
a CYP3A substrate, did not cause P-gp induction in the small intestine, but did
cause P-gp induction in the liver. Fexofenadine and midazolam reduced the effect
of dexamethasone on Cyp3a11 expression in the small intestine. Dexamethasone
dose-dependently decreased the plasma concentration of midazolam and increased
that of its metabolite. Dexamethasone caused a dose-independent decrease in
plasma concentrations of fexofenadine. The effect of dexamethasone on P-gp
expression is not dose-dependent, but its effect on Cyp3a11 ve Cyp3a13 expression
is dose-dependent. Fexofenadine and midazolam caused a reduction in the effect of
dexamethasone on Cyp3a11 expression in the small intestine.
