To investigate the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles of volunteers carrying CYP2D6 genotypes with unknow metabolic phenotypes, a total of 22 volunteers were recruited based on the sequencing results. Peripheral blood and urine samples were collected at specific time points after oral administration of metoprolol. A validated high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was used to determine the concentrations of metoprolol and α-hydroxymetoprolol. Blood pressure and electrocardiogram were also monitored. The results showed that the main pharmacokinetic parameters of metoprolol in CYP2D6*1/*34 carriers are similar to those in CYP2D6*1/*1 carriers. However, in individuals carrying the CYP2D6*10/*87, CYP2D6*10/*95, and CYP2D6*97/*97 genotypes, the area under the curve (AUC) and half-life (t1/2) of metoprolol increased by 2-3 times compared to wild type. The urinary metabolic ratio of metoprolol in these genotypes is consistent with the trends observed in plasma samples. Therefore, CYP2D6*1/*34 can be considered as normal metabolizers, while CYP2D6*10/*87, CYP2D6*10/*95, and CYP2D6*97/*97 are intermediate metabolizers. Although the blood concentration of metoprolol has been found to correlate with CYP2D6 genotype, its blood pressure-lowering effect reaches maximum effectiveness at a reduction of 25 mmHg. Furthermore, P-Q interval prolongation and heart rate reduction are not positively correlated with metoprolol blood exposure. Based on the pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic model, this study clarified the properties of metoprolol in subjects with novel CYP2D6 genotypes and provided important fundamental data for the translational medicine of this substrate drug.

Pharmacogenetic variants are associated with clinical outcomes during Calcium Channel Blocker (CCB) treatment, yet whether the effects are modified by genetically predicted clinical risk factors is unknown. We analyzed 32,000 UK Biobank participants treated with dihydropiridine CCBs (mean 5.9 years), including 23 pharmacogenetic variants, and calculated polygenic scores for systolic and diastolic blood pressures, body fat mass, and other patient characteristics. Outcomes included treatment discontinuation and heart failure. Pharmacogenetic variant rs10898815-A (NUMA1) increased discontinuation rates, highest in those with high polygenic scores for fat mass. The RYR3 variant rs877087 T-allele alone modestly increased heart failure risks versus non-carriers (HR:1.13, p = 0.02); in patients with high polygenic scores for fat mass, lean mass, and lipoprotein A, risks were substantially elevated (HR:1.55, p = 4 × 10−5). Incorporating polygenic scores for adiposity and lipoprotein A may improve risk estimates of key clinical outcomes in CCB treatment such as treatment discontinuation and heart failure, compared to pharmacogenetic variants alone.

To investigate factors affecting the efficacy and tolerability of verapamil for migraine prevention using individual pharmacogenomic phenotypes. Verapamil has a wide range of dosing in headache disorders without reliable tools to predict the optimal doses for an individual. This is a retrospective chart review examining adults with existing pharmacogenomic reports at Mayo Clinic who had used verapamil for migraine. Effects of six cytochrome P450 phenotypes on the doses of verapamil for migraine prevention were assessed. Our final analysis included 33 migraine patients (82% with aura). The mean minimum effective and maximum tolerable doses of verapamil were 178.2(20-320) mg and 227.9(20-480) mg. A variety of CYP2C9, CYP2D6, and CYP3A5 phenotypes were found, without significant association with the verapamil doses after adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, and smoking status. We demonstrated a wide range of effective and tolerable verapamil doses used for migraine in a cohort with various pharmacogenomic phenotypes.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health issue. Kidney failure patients may undergo a kidney transplantation (KTX) and prescribed an immunosuppressant medication i.e., tacrolimus. Tacrolimus’ efficacy and toxicity varies among patients. This study investigates the cost-utility of pharmacogenomics (PGx) guided tacrolimus treatment compared to the conventional approach in Austrian patients undergone KTX, participating in the PREPARE UPGx study. Treatment’s effectiveness was determined by mean survival, and utility values were based on a Visual Analog Scale score. Incremental Cost-Effectiveness Ratio was also calculated. PGx-guided treatment arm was found to be cost-effective, resulting in reduced cost (3902 euros less), 6% less hospitalization days and lower risk of adverse drug events compared to the control arm. The PGx-guided arm showed a mean 0.900 QALYs (95% CI: 0.862–0.936) versus 0.851 QALYs (95% CI: 0.814–0.885) in the other arm. In conclusion, PGx-guided tacrolimus treatment represents a cost-saving option in the Austrian healthcare setting.

Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are a significant public health concern and a leading cause of hospitalization; they are estimated to be the fourth leading cause of death and increasing healthcare costs worldwide. Carrying a genetic variant could alter the efficacy and increase the risk of ADRs associated with a drug in a target population for commonly prescribed drugs. The use of pre-emptive pharmacogenetic/omic (PGx) testing can improve drug therapeutic efficacy, safety, and compliance by guiding the selection of drugs and/or dosages. In the present narrative review, we examined the current evidence of pre-emptive PGx testing-based treatment for the prevention of ADRs incidence and hospitalization or emergency department visits due to serious ADRs, thus improving patient safety. We then shared our perspective on the importance of preemptive PGx testing in clinical practice for the safe use of medicines and decreasing healthcare costs.

Tibetan medicine Gaoyuan’an capsule (GYAC) is widely used to prevent pulmonary edema at high altitude, but the specific mechanism has not been explored. In this study, we analyzed the mechanism of GYAC in hypoxia tolerance, and provided a new idea for the prevention and treatment of altitude disease. The effective components and corresponding targets of GYAC were screened out by the Chinese herbal medicine network database, and the key targets of hypoxia tolerance were retrieved by Genecards, OMIM and PubMed database. Cytoscape 3.7.2 was used to construct GYAC ingredient-target-hypoxia tolerance-related target network. GO function annotation and KEGG enrichment analysis were performed to predict the pathways in which target genes may be involved, and molecular docking was used to verify the binding ability of the compound to target genes. In vitro, the above results were further verified by molecular experiment. We found that GYAC can improve hypoxia tolerance by regulating various target genes, including IL6, IFNG, etc. The main regulatory pathways were HIF-1 signaling pathway. Molecular docking showed that the affinity between luteolin and target genes (IL6, IFNG) were better. In vitro, we observed that hypoxia can inhibit cell viability and promote apoptosis of H9C2 cell. And hypoxia can promote the expression of LDH. After the addition of luteolin, the decrease of cell viability, the increase of cell apoptosis, LDH release and the decrease of mitochondrial membrane potential were inhibited. Besides, inflammatory related factors (IL-6, IL-10, IL-2, IFNG and VEGFA) expression were also inhibited hypoxic cell models. The results of network pharmacology and molecular docking showed that luteolin, a monomeric component of GYAC, played a role in hypoxia tolerance through a variety of target genes, such as IL6, IFNG. What’s more, we have discovered that luteolin can reduce the inflammatory response in cardiac myocytes, thereby alleviating mitochondrial damage, and ultimately enhancing the hypoxia tolerance of H9C2 cardiomyocytes.

Anticoagulants are potent therapeutics widely used in medical and surgical settings, and the amount spent on anticoagulation is rising. Although warfarin remains a widely prescribed oral anticoagulant, prescriptions of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have increased rapidly. Heparin-based parenteral anticoagulants include both unfractionated and low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs). In clinical practice, anticoagulants are generally well tolerated, although interindividual variability in response is apparent. This variability in anticoagulant response can lead to serious incident thrombosis, haemorrhage and off-target adverse reactions such as heparin-induced thrombocytopaenia (HIT). This review seeks to highlight the genetic, environmental and clinical factors associated with variability in anticoagulant response, and review the current evidence base for tailoring the drug, dose, and/or monitoring decisions to identified patient subgroups to improve anticoagulant safety. Areas that would benefit from further research are also identified. Validated variants in VKORC1, CYP2C9 and CYP4F2 constitute biomarkers for differential warfarin response and genotype-informed warfarin dosing has been shown to reduce adverse clinical events. Polymorphisms in CES1 appear relevant to dabigatran exposure but the genetic studies focusing on clinical outcomes such as bleeding are sparse. The influence of body weight on LMWH response merits further attention, as does the relationship between anti-Xa levels and clinical outcomes. Ultimately, safe and effective anticoagulation requires both a deeper parsing of factors contributing to variable response, and further prospective studies to determine optimal therapeutic strategies in identified higher risk subgroups.
抗凝剂是广泛应用于内科和外科的强效治疗药物,用于抗凝的费用也在不断增加。虽然华法林仍是广泛使用的口服抗凝药,但直接口服抗凝药(DOAC)的处方量也在迅速增加。以肝素为基础的肠外抗凝剂包括非分数肝素和低分子量肝素(LMWHs)。在临床实践中,抗凝剂的耐受性一般都很好,但个体间的反应差异明显。抗凝剂反应的这种变异性可导致严重的血栓形成、出血和非目标不良反应,如肝素诱导的血小板减少症(HIT)。本综述旨在强调与抗凝剂反应变异相关的遗传、环境和临床因素,并审查当前的证据基础,以便根据已确定的患者亚群调整药物、剂量和/或监测决策,从而提高抗凝剂的安全性。此外,还确定了可从进一步研究中获益的领域。VKORC1、CYP2C9 和 CYP4F2 中已验证的变异构成了不同华法林反应的生物标志物,而根据基因型确定华法林剂量已被证明可减少不良临床事件的发生。CES1 的多态性似乎与达比加群的暴露有关,但侧重于出血等临床结果的基因研究却很少。体重对 LMWH 反应的影响以及抗 Xa 水平与临床结果之间的关系值得进一步关注。归根结底,安全有效的抗凝治疗需要对导致不同反应的因素进行更深入的解析,还需要进一步的前瞻性研究来确定已识别的高风险亚组的最佳治疗策略。

The objective of this study was to discover clinical and pharmacogenetic factors associated with bevacizumab-related gastrointestinal hemorrhage in Cancer and Leukemia Group B (Alliance) 90401. Patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer received docetaxel and prednisone ± bevacizumab. Patients were genotyped using Illumina HumanHap610-Quad and assessed using cause-specific risk for association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and gastrointestinal hemorrhage. In 1008 patients, grade 2 or higher gastrointestinal hemorrhage occurred in 9.5% and 3.8% of bevacizumab (n = 503) and placebo (n = 505) treated patients, respectively. Bevacizumab (P < 0.001) and age (P = 0.002) were associated with gastrointestinal hemorrhage. In 616 genetically estimated Europeans (n = 314 bevacizumab and n = 302 placebo treated patients), grade 2 or higher gastrointestinal hemorrhage occurred in 9.6% and 2.0% of patients, respectively. One SNP (rs1478947; HR 6.26; 95% CI 3.19–12.28; P = 9.40 × 10−8) surpassed Bonferroni-corrected significance. Grade 2 or higher gastrointestinal hemorrhage rate was 33.3% and 6.2% in bevacizumab-treated patients with the AA/AG and GG genotypes, versus 2.9% and 1.9% in the placebo arm, respectively. Prospective validation of these findings and functional analyses are needed to better understand the genetic contribution to treatment-related gastrointestinal hemorrhage.

Patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer received docetaxel and prednisone ± bevacizumab. Patients were genotyped using Illumina HumanHap610-Quad and assessed using cause-specific risk for association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and gastrointestinal hemorrhage. In 1008 patients, grade 2 or higher gastrointestinal hemorrhage occurred in 9.5% and 3.8% of bevacizumab (n = 503) and placebo (n = 505) treated patients, respectively. Bevacizumab (P < 0.001) and age (P = 0.002) were associated with gastrointestinal hemorrhage. In 616 genetically estimated Europeans (n = 314 bevacizumab and n = 302 placebo treated patients), grade 2 or higher gastrointestinal hemorrhage occurred in 9.6% and 2.0% of patients, respectively. One SNP (rs1478947; HR 6.26; 95% CI 3.19–12.28; P = 9.40 × 10−8) surpassed Bonferroni-corrected significance. Grade 2 or higher gastrointestinal hemorrhage rate was 33.3% and 6.2% in bevacizumab-treated patients with the AA/AG and GG genotypes, versus 2.9% and 1.9% in the placebo arm, respectively. Prospective validation of these findings and functional analyses are needed to better understand the genetic contribution to treatment-related gastrointestinal hemorrhage.","PeriodicalId":54624,"journal":{"name":"Pharmacogenomics Journal","volume":"24 2","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10912014/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140029613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To explore the role of p300 in the context of paclitaxel (PTX) resistance in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells, focusing on its interaction with the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1 (PCK1)/adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway. The expression of p300 and PCK1 at the messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) level was detected using a quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The GeneCards and GEPIA databases were used to investigate the relationship between p300 and PCK1. The MDA-MB-231/PTX cell line, known for its PTX resistance, was chosen to understand the specific role of p300 in such cells. The Lipofectamine™ 3000 reagent was used to transfer the p300 small interfering RNA and the overexpression of PCK1 plasmid into MDA-MB-231/PTX. The expression levels of p300, PCK1, 5′AMPK and phosphorylated AMPK (p-AMPK) were determined using the western blot test. In TNBC cancer tissue, the expression of p300 was increased compared with TNBC paracancerous tissue (P < 0.05). In the MDA-MB-231 cell line of TNBC, the expression of p300 was lower than in the PTX-resistant TNBC cells (MDA-MB-231/PTX) (P < 0.05). The PCK1 expression was decreased in the TNBC cancer tissue compared with TNBC paracancerous tissue, and the PCK1 expression was reduced in MDA-MB-231/PTX than in MDA-MB-231 (P < 0.05) indicating that PCK1 was involved in the resistance function. Additionally, p-AMPK was decreased in MDA-MB-231/PTX compared with MDA-MB-231 (P < 0.05). The adenosine triphosphate (ATP) level was also detected and was significantly lower in MDA-MB-231/PTX than in MDA-MB-231 (P < 0.05). Additionally, cell proliferation increased significantly in MDA-MB-231/PTX at 48 and 72 h (P < 0.05) suggesting that MDA-MB-231/PTX cells obtained the resistance function which was associated with AMPK and ATP level. When p300 was inhibited, p-AMPK and ATP levels elevated in MDA-MB-231/PTX (P < 0.05). When PCK1 was suppressed, the ATP consumption rate decreased, and cell proliferation increased (P < 0.05). However, there were no changes in p300. In MDA-MB-231/PTX, p300 can inhibit p-AMPK and ATP levels by inhibiting PCK1 expression. Our findings suggest that targeting p300 could modulate the PCK1/AMPK axis, offering a potential therapeutic avenue for overcoming PTX resistance in TNBC.

CYP3A5 genetic variants are associated with tacrolimus metabolism. Controversy remains on whether CYP3A4 increased [*1B (rs2740574), *1 G (rs2242480)] and decreased function [*22 (rs35599367)] genetic variants provide additional information. This retrospective cohort study aims to address whether tacrolimus dose-adjusted trough concentrations differ between combined CYP3A (CYP3A5 and CYP3A4) phenotype groups. Heart transplanted patients (n = 177, between 2008 and 2020) were included and median age was 54 years old. Significant differences between CYP3A phenotype groups in tacrolimus dose-adjusted trough concentrations were found in the early postoperative period and continued to 6 months post-transplant. In CYP3A5 nonexpressers, carriers of CYP3A4*1B or *1 G variants (Group 3) compared to CYP3A4*1/*1 (Group 2) patients were found to have lower tacrolimus dose-adjusted trough concentrations at 2 months. In addition, significant differences were found among CYP3A phenotype groups in the dose at discharge and time to therapeutic range while time in therapeutic range was not significantly different. A combined CYP3A phenotype interpretation may provide more nuanced genotype-guided TAC dosing in heart transplant recipients.
