Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Lei Guo's research focuses on understanding the metabolic pathways and toxicological effects of various chemical compounds, with a particular emphasis on liver toxicity and drug metabolism. Guo has investigated the genotoxicity potential of compounds like luteolin, examining the role of specific cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYP1A1, CYP1A2) in this process. Further work has explored the cellular resistance mechanisms involving drug-metabolizing enzymes such as CYP3A4 and CYP3A5, and their implications for cytostatic resistance.

Guo has also characterized genetically modified HepG2 cells that overexpress cytochrome P450 enzymes. This work aims to create more accurate models for assessing drug and chemical-induced liver toxicity in vitro. Recent studies have examined the in vitro effects and transcriptomic changes induced by cannabidiol in human Sertoli cells, as well as its metabolism and liver toxicity. Additional research includes the impact of urea and fulvic acid solutions on maize carbon and nitrogen metabolism.
