Cytochrome P450 1B1 (CYP1B1) is a member of the cytochrome p450 family of enzymes that catalyze mono-oxygenase reactions. Although constitutive Cyp1b1 expression is limited in hepatocytes, its expression and function in liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSEC) remains unknown. Here we determined the impact of Cyp1b1 expression on LSEC properties prepared from  Cyp1b1+/+  and  Cyp1b1-/-  mice. LSEC expressed PECAM-1, VE-cadherin, and B4 lectin similar to EC from other mouse tissues.  Cyp1b1  +/+ LSEC constitutively expressed significant levels of Cyp1b1, while  Cyp1b1-/-  LSEC lacked Cyp1b1 expression. LSEC also expressed VEGFR3, PROX-1, and LYVE-1, VEGFR1 and VEGFR2, as well as other cell adhesion molecules including ICAM-1, ICAM-2, VCAM-1, and thrombospondin-1 (TSP1) receptors, CD36 and CD47. However, the expression of PV-1 and stabilin (fenestration markers), and endoglin were limited in these cells. The  Cyp1b1-/-  LSEC showed limited fenestration, and decreased levels of VEGF and BMP6.  Cyp1b1-/-  LSEC also showed a decrease in the levels of VE-cadherin and ZO-1 impacting adherens and gap junction formation.  Cyp1b1-/-  LSEC were significantly more apoptotic, proliferated at a faster rate, and were less adherent and more migratory. These changes were attributed, in part, to decreased amounts of TSP1 and increased AKT and ERK activation. The expressions of integrins were also altered by the lack of  Cyp1b1 , but the ability of these cells to undergo capillary morphogenesis was minimally affected. Furthermore,  Cyp1b1-/-  LSEC expressed lower levels of inflammatory mediators MCP-1 and TNF-α. Thus,  Cyp1b1  expression has a significant impact on LSEC angiogenic and inflammatory functions.
