enantiomers
Warfarin is a commonly prescribed oral anti-coagulant with
narrow therapeutic index. It interferes with vitamin K cycle to
achieve anti-coagulating effects. Warfarin has two enantio-
mers, S(�) and R(1) and undergoes stereoselective metabo-
lism, with the S(�) enantiomer being more effective. We
reported that the intracellular protein profile in HepG2 cells
incubated with S(�) and R(1) warfarin, using iTRAQ-
coupled 2-D LC-MS/MS. In samples incubated with S(�) and
R(1) warfarin alone, the multi-task protein Protein SET
showed significant elevation in cells incubated with S(�)
warfarin but not in those incubated with R(1) warfarin. In
cells incubated with individual enantiomers of warfarin in the
presence of vitamin K, protein disulfide isomerase A3 which
is known as a glucose-regulated protein, in cells incubated
with S(�) warfarin was found to be down-regulated compared
to those incubated with R(1) warfarin. In addition, Protein
DJ-1 and 14-3-3 Proteins were down-regulated in cells incu-
bated with either S(�) or R(1) warfarin regardless of the
presence of vitamin K. Our results indicated that Protein DJ-1
may act as an enzyme for expression of essential enzymes in
vitamin K cycle. Taken together, our findings provided
molecular evidence on a comprehensive protein profile on
warfarin–cell interaction, which may shed new lights on
future improvement of warfarin therapy.ROS level of HepG2 cells incubated with drugs.
