Cytochrome P450 2C19 loss-of-function polymorphism is a major determinant of clopidogrel responsiveness in healthy subjects

The capacity of clopidogrel to inhibit ADP-induced platelet aggregation shows wide intersubject variability. To determine whether frequent functional variants of genes coding for candidate cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoenzymes involved in clopidogrel metabolic activation (CYP2C19*2, CYP2B6*5, CYP1A2*1F, and CYP3A5*3 variants) influence the platelet responsiveness to clopidogrel, we conducted a prospective pharmacogenetic study in 28 healthy white male volunteers treated for 7 days with clopidogrel 75 mg/d. We observed that pharmacodynamic response to clopidogrel was significantly associated with the CYP2C19 genotype. Twenty of the subjects were wild-type CYP2C19 (*1/*1) homozygotes, while the other 8 subjects were heterozygous for the loss-of-function polymorphism CYP2C19*2 (*1/*2). Baseline platelet activity was not influenced by the CYP2C19 genotype. In contrast, platelet aggregation in the presence of 10 muM ADP decreased gradually during treatment with clopidogrel 75 mg once daily in *1/*1 subjects, reaching 48.9% +/- 14.9% on day 7 (P < .001 vs baseline), whereas it did not change in *1/*2 subjects (71.8% +/- 14.6% on day 7, P = .22 vs baseline, and P < .003 vs *1/*1 subjects). Similar results were found with VASP phosphorylation. The CYP2C19*2 loss-of-function allele is associated with a marked decrease in platelet responsiveness to clopidogrel in young healthy male volunteers and may therefore be an important genetic contributor to clopidogrel resistance in the clinical setting.

Abstract：

Objective To investigate the impact of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C19 681G>A polymorphism on long-term prognosis of clopidogrel-treated Chinese patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods Between January 1, 2009 and August 31,2009, 267 patients with coronary heart disease who received PCI and treated with clopidogrel for 12 months were enrolled. CYP2C19*2 was detected by MALDI-TOF MS and patients were grouped into CYP2C19*1/*1(n=130) and CYP2C19*2 carriers group (n=137). Follow-up was 12 months. The primary endpoint was angina recurrence, urgent coronary revascularization, acute myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, death and the combined end points. Results Baseline data were similar between two groups (P>0.05).Urgent coronary revascularization and the combined end points occurred more frequently in CYP2C19*2 carriers than in CYP2C19*1/*1 patients (7.3% vs. 1.5% and 8.0% vs. 2.3% respectively,all P<0.05). But incidence of angina recurrence, acute myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis and death was similar between two groups (all P>0.05).Hazard risk of 1 year cumulative survival of CYP2C19*2 carriers group was significantly higher than CYP2C19*1/*1 group after PCI (HR=3.59, 95%CI: 1.02-12.87, P<0.05). Conclusion CYP2C19 681G>A polymorphism is a determinant of prognosis in coronary heart disease patients receiving chronic clopidogrel treatment after PCI.     

细胞色素P450 2C19*2基因多态性联合钙通道阻滞剂与冠状动脉支架内血栓形成的相关性

目的:探讨经皮冠状动脉介入术(PCI)后接受氯吡格雷治疗的患者中,细胞色素P450 2C19(CYP2C19)*2基因多态性(681A)与支架内血栓形成的相关性,以及服用钙通道阻滞剂(CCBs)与支架内血栓形成的相关性。方法:检测1 738例冠心病PCI术后患者的CYP2C19基因多态性,并将这些患者分为CCBs组和非CCBs组,采用比浊法检测二磷酸腺苷(ADP)途径诱导的血小板最大聚集率(MPAR),比较两组患者MPAR及支架内血栓形成率的差异。结果:19例(2.4%)CYP2C19*2基因型的患者(包括CYP2C19*2/*2或*1/*2)和7例(0.75%)基因型为CYP2C19*1/*1的患者发生了明确的支架内血栓形成;CYP2C19*2基因型患者支架内血栓形成的发生率明显高于CYP2C19野生型纯合子患者(CYP2C19*1/*1)(风险比为4.26,95%可信区间为1.28～9.22,P<0.05);基因型为CYP2C19*1/*1的患者发生支架内血栓形成的风险最低,而基因型为CYP2C19*2/*2的患者支架内血栓形成的风险最高(风险比为0.568,95%可信区间为0.308～2.070,P<0.01);CCBs组和非CCBs组MPAR及支架内血栓形成率差异无统计学意义。结论:PCI术后接受氯吡格雷治疗的冠心病患者中,CYP2C19*2基因型患者支架内血栓形成的风险增加,而服用CCBs不会导致氯吡格雷抗血小板聚集作用减弱以及支架内血栓形成事件增加。     

Evaluation of the INNOVANCE PFA P2Y assay and its association with CYP2C19 genotypes

The purpose of this study was to evaluate associations between INNOVANCE PFA P2Y (PFA P2Y) test results and CYP2C19 genotypes and provide baseline data for PFA P2Y testing to establish a therapeutic monitoring strategy for clopidogrel. A total of 75 new patients with acute coronary syndrome with planned percutaneous coronary intervention were enrolled between June 2012 and September 2012. All patients received clopidogrel at an initial loading dose of 600?mg followed by a 75-mg daily maintenance dose. Blood samples were obtained on the third morning after clopidogrel loading. PFA P2Y, VerifyNow P2Y12 and VASP assays were used to determine platelet inhibition due to clopidogrel, and the Verigene CYP2C19 test was used for CYP2C19 genotyping. The genotype frequency of 75 patients was as follows: CYP2C19 *1/*1 (wild type), 28 (37.3%); *1/*2, 31 (41.3%); *1/*3, 4 (5.3%); *2/*2, 5 (6.7%); *2/*3, 5 (6.7%); *1/*17, 1 (1.3%); and *2/*17, 1 (1.3%). Classified according to CYP2C19 genotypes, there were 29 (38.7%) extensive metabolizers (EM) or ultra rapid metabolizers (UM), 35 (46.7%) intermediate metabolizers (IM), and 10 (13.3%) poor metabolizers (PM). Median (interquartile range) PFA P2Y closure times (seconds) were 119 (101–260), 300 (130–300) and 300 (300–300) in the PM, IM and EM or UM groups, respectively (p?<?0.05). Median (interquartile range) VerifyNow PRUs were 294 (213–297), 215 (165–320) and 189 (118–279); and the VASP platelet reactivity index (%) was 52.7 (33.3–91.9), 59.9 (41.4–72.8) and 38.9 (26.8–62.2) in the PM, IM and EM or UM groups, respectively (p?>?0.05). Compared with non-carriers, carriers of reduced function CYP2C19 alleles tended to have higher platelet reactivity after clopidogrel treatment. The cut-off for PM versus other groups (IM and EM or UM) was ≤141 seconds (AUC 0.704, sensitivity 70%, specificity 76.6%) on the ROC curve. A statistically significant correlation between PFA P2Y (seconds) and VerifyNow (PRU) was found (ρ?=??0.47, p?<?0.0001). In conclusion, the PFA P2Y test showed a statistically significant association with CYP2C19 metabolizer phenotypes based on CYP2C19 genotyping and effectively determined the risk groups resistant to clopidogrel therapy, including PM.

Cytochrome P4502C9(CYP2C9) gene polymorphism and safety of therapy with warfarin

Aim of the study was to investigate frequency and influence of alleles CYP2C9*2 and CYP2C9*3 on pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and dosing regimen of warfarin and on development of hemorrhagic complications. We included 84 patients (mean age 62,8 +/- 10,5 years). Duration of follow-up varied between 1 month and 1 year. Carriage of allele variants was determined by polymerase chain reaction, measurement of plasma wafarin concentration was carried out with the help of high performance liquid chromatography. Wild type (CYP2C9*1/*1) was found in 68% of patients; overall frequency of 2C9*1/*1, *l/*3, *2/*2, *3/*3, *2/*3 genotypes was 32%. Average maintenance doses of warfarin for patients with allele variants CYP 2C9 *2 and 2C9 *3 were 3.6 and 3.1 mg/day, respectively, what was significantly lower than in wild type homozygotes (6.1 mg/day). Wild type homozygotes (1) had the highest warfarin clearance (3,51 ml/min). In carriers of 2C9 *2(2) and 2C9 *3(3) warfarin clearance was significantly lower (2.42 and 1.82 ml/min; p1 - 2 = 0,05; p1 - 3 = 0,0008). In carriers of allele variants CYP2C9*2, CYP2C9*3 values of international normalized ratio > 3,0 were met more often, especially in carriers of CYP2C9*3 (in 100% of cases) vs. 28% in wild type homozygotes (p=0,02). Carriers of CYP2C9*3 compared with wild type homozygotes had more hemorrhagic complications (67% and 16%, respectively, p=0,0008). Thus cytochrome P450 2C9 gene polymorphism influences frequency of development of hemorrhagic complications, metabolic clearance, and magnitude of warfarin maintenance dose.     

Genetic determinants of on-clopidogrel high platelet reactivity

Clopidogrel has been used (alone or in association with aspirin) to prevent vascular complications in atherothrombotic patients, to prevent stent thrombosis (ST) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and as a long-term prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. Unfortunately, it is important to note that there are a number of patients who, during clopidogrel therapy, show and maintain a high platelet reactivity (PR), similar to that observed before the start of antiplatelet therapy. Clopidogrel pro-drug is absorbed in the intestine and this process is influenced by P-glycoprotein-1 (P-GP). Its conversion into 2-oxo clopidogrel is regulated by cytochromes (CYP) called CYP2C19, CYP2B6 and CYP1A2. Whereas, the final transformation into the active metabolite is regulated by CYP called CYP2C19, CYP2C9, CYP2B6, CYP3A4, CYP3A5 and, as recently emerged, by the glycoprotein paraoxonase-1 (PON1). The genes encoding these enzymes are characterized by several polymorphisms. Some of these are able to modify the activity of proteins, reducing the concentration of active metabolite and the values of on-clopidogrel PR. Only one gene polymorphism (CYP2C19*17) increases the clopidogrel metabolization and so the clopidogrel-induced platelet inhibition. Several studies have clearly associated these gene polymorphisms to both ischemic and bleeding complications in patients receiving dual antiplatelet therapy. The aim of this review is to describe the principal gene polymorphisms influencing on-clopidogrel PR and their relationship with long-term clinical outcome.     

CYP2C19基因多态性与介入治疗后氯吡格雷药物疗效的相关性研究

目的探讨PCI术后CYP2C19基因多态性与不同剂量氯吡格雷药物效果的相关性。方法通过基因芯片检测技术,筛选PCI术后CYP2C19基因突变为CYP2C19*2/*2、CYP2C19*2/*3或CYP2C19*3/*3的患者67例,随机分为常规组22例、2倍组22例和3倍组23例。常规组75 mg氯吡格雷、2倍组150 mg氯吡格雷、3倍组225 mg氯吡格雷,1次/d。分别于PCI术后1、3、6个月通过血栓弹力图检测各组氯吡格雷药物抑制率及再发心血管缺血事件发生率。结果 PCI术后6个月内,2倍组和3倍组患者心血管缺血事件发生率较常规组明显降低(81.8%vs 31.8%vs 21.7%,P<0.01),2倍组与3倍组比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。术后1、3、6个月2倍组和3倍组氯吡格雷药物抑制率较常规组显著升高(P<0.01),2倍组与3倍组比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。3组出血风险比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论 CYP2C19基因变异患者增加氯吡格雷药物服用剂量,可在一定程度上提高血小板的抑制,降低心血管缺血事件发生率,且不增加出血事件的发生率。     

Accelerated platelet inhibition by switching from atorvastatin to a non-CYP3A4-metabolized statin in patients with high platelet reactivity (ACCEL-STATIN) study

Aims CYP3A4-metabolized statins can influence the pharmacodynamic effect of clopidogrel. We sought to assess the impact of switching to a non-CYP3A4-metabolized statin on platelet function among patients receiving clopidogrel and atorvastatin with high on-treatment platelet reactivity (HPR). Methods and results Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)-treated patients (n= 50) with HPR [20 μM adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-induced maximal platelet aggregation (MPA) >50%] were enrolled during chronic administration of atorvastatin (10 mg/day) and clopidogrel (75 mg/day) (≥6 months). They were randomly assigned to a 15-day therapy with either rosuvastatin 10 mg/day (n= 25) or pravastatin 20 mg/day (n= 25). Platelet function was assessed before and after switching by conventional aggregometry and the VerifyNow P2Y12 assay. Genotyping was performed for CYP2C19*2/*3, CYP3A5*3, and ABCB1 C3435T alleles. The primary endpoint was the absolute change in 20 μM ADP-induced MPA. After switching, MPAs after stimuli with 20 and 5 μM ADP were decreased by 6.6% (95% confidence interval: 3.2-10.1%; P < 0.001), and 6.3% (95% confidence interval: 2.5-10.2%; P = 0.002), respectively. Fifty-two P2Y12 reaction units fell (95% confidence interval: 35-70; P < 0.001) and the prevalence of HPR decreased (24%; P < 0.001). Pharmacodynamic effects were similar after rosuvastatin and pravastatin therapy. In addition to smoking status, the combination of calcium channel blocker usage and ABCB1 C3435T genotype significantly affected the change of 20 μM ADP-induced MPA. Conclusions Among PCI-treated patients with HPR during co-administration of clopidogrel and atorvastatin, switching to a non-CYP3A4-metabolized statin can significantly decrease platelet reactivity and the prevalence of HPR. This switching effect appears similar irrespective of the type of non-CYP3A4-metabolized statin.     

CYP2C19*2 and prognosis after an acute coronary syndrome: Insights from a Portuguese center

BackgroundClopidogrel requires oxidation dependent on the cytochrome P450 enzyme 2C19 (CYP2C19) to form its active metabolite. The importance of loss-of-function alleles (particularly CYP2C19*2, 681G>A) in poor platelet response to clopidogrel is well recognized.ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence and prognostic impact of the CYP2C19*2 allele in a local acute coronary syndrome (ACS) population.MethodsWe performed a prospective, longitudinal study of 95 patients admitted for an ACS between March and October 2009 to a single coronary care unit. Patients aged under 75 who survived hospital stay and for whom clopidogrel was prescribed were included. At discharge, CYP2C19 was genotyped using a commercially available kit. Patients were divided into two groups: Group A (non-carriers, normal metabolizers, CYP2C19*1/*1), n = 69; and Group B (carriers, slow metabolizers, CYP2C19*2/*1 or *2/*2), n = 26. The primary endpoint was a combined outcome of cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction or re-admission for unstable angina; median follow-up was 136.0 (79.0–188.0) days.ResultsThe median age of the population was 62.0 (51.0–68.0) years, and 83.2% were male. The CYP2C19*2 (A) allele had a frequency of 14.2%. There were no differences between the groups with respect to demographic data or history of cardiovascular disease. Coronary anatomy, left ventricular ejection fraction and renal function were also similar. The groups were also homogenous with respect to GRACE risk score (118.0 (95.0–136.5) vs. 115.0 (96.0–133.0), p = 0.68), medical treatment and percutaneous revascularization during hospital stay. Event-free survival was higher for Group A (94.0% vs. 75.0%, log-rank p = 0.010). Three readmissions for MI were documented, all in the slow metabolizers group.ConclusionIn our ACS population, the CYP2C19*2 allele was a medium-term prognostic marker.     

Usefulness of high clopidogrel maintenance dose according to CYP2C19 genotypes in clopidogrel low responders undergoing coronary stenting for non ST elevation acute coronary syndrome

The cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C19*2 loss-of-function allele has been associated with impaired clopidogrel response and worse prognosis in clopidogrel-treated patients. The benefit of tailored therapy according to platelet function test results remains unclear, and the potential effect of genotypes on this benefit has not been addressed in unstable patients. The present study was designed to evaluate the benefit of tailored therapy with a higher maintenance dose according to CYP2C19 genotypes in patients identified as nonresponders who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention for non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes. Three hundred forty-six consecutive patients were enrolled and received a loading dose of 600 mg, including 86 *2 carriers (13 homozygotes and 73 heterozygotes) and 260 *2 noncarriers. Clopidogrel response, assessed with platelet reactivity index vasoactive-stimulated phosphoprotein, was significantly affected by genotype, with lower clopidogrel response in CYP2C19*2 allele carriers (p = 0.01). Accordingly, the rate of clopidogrel nonresponse was higher in CYP2C19*2 allele carriers (53% vs 41%, p = 0.04). All clopidogrel nonresponders (n = 151), including 105 *2 noncarriers and 46 *2 carriers, received high 150-mg clopidogrel maintenance doses at discharge to overcome initial low response. After 1 month, high maintenance doses overcame clopidogrel low response in only 44% of the whole population and significantly less frequently in *2 carriers than in noncarriers (28% vs 50%, p = 0.01). In conclusion, higher clopidogrel maintenance doses were able to overcome clopidogrel low response in fewer than half of clopidogrel low responders who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention for non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes. The benefit of this tailored therapy was significantly reduced in CYP2C19*2 carriers. Therefore, these patients might require alternative strategies with new P2Y?? blockers.     

Inhibiteurs de la pompe à protons et clopidogrel (Plavix®) : une liaison dangereuse ?

Proton pump inhibitors (PPI) and antiplatelet agents, especially aspirin and clopidogrel, are among the most prescribed medications worldwide. Their co-administration is justified by the increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding related to the antiplatelet therapy. The issue of the interaction between PPI and clopidogrel has been raised with the emergence of the concept of “high on-clopidogrel platelet reactivity” (or “clopidogrel resistance”) together with the discovery of the role of CYP2C19 isoform in the pharmacokinetics of those two medications. Indeed, CYP2C19 is involved in the conversion of the clopidogrel pro-drug into its active metabolite and is involved in the metabolisation of PPI into inactive metabolites, acting as substrates/inhibitors of CYP2C19. Despite their heterogeneity, most pharmacodynamic studies have shown a decreased clopidogrel antiplatelet effect when associated to PPI, especially those with the highest CYP2C19 inhibiting activity (omeprazole, lansoprazole, rabeprazole). On the other hand, clinical studies are inconclusive. Retrospective studies have shown an increased risk of major cardiovascular events or mortality when clopidogrel and PPI are associated in comparison with clopidogrel alone, particularly in the patients with the higher cardiovascular risk. However, the two prospective randomized studies published so far did not find any interaction and confirmed the benefit of PPI on the gastrointestinal bleeding. As a conclusion, as the clinical studies are not conclusive, the French health authorities have recently removed the alert about this interaction. PPI and clopidogrel can thus be co-prescribed.     

A case of subacute thrombosis associated with clopidogrel resistance after implantation of a zotarolimus-eluting stent

A 73-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with anterior acute myocardial infarction due to subacute thrombosis after coronary stenting with a zotarolimus-eluting stent (ZES), which is a newly developed drug-eluting stent that has been widely used since May 2009 in Japan. Five days before, she underwent implantation with a ZES in the left anterior descending artery due to stable angina pectoris. After stenting, the intravascular ultrasonography showed no malapposition from the proximal to the distal edge of the stent. She received aspirin 100 mg/day and clopidogrel 75 mg/day from 2 weeks before the stent was implanted. When we investigated the single nucleotide polymorphisms of CYP2C19 in this patient, both CYP2C19*2 and CYP2C19*3 were detected, and she was classified as a poor metabolizer. This report is the first to describe subacute stent thrombosis following the implantation of a newly developed ZES in a Japanese patient, which may be related to clopidogrel resistance.     

Variant recurrent risk among stroke patients with different CYP2C19 phenotypes and treated with clopidogrel

Polymorphisms of CYP2C19 have been associated with variant risk of subsequent cardiovascular events in survivors of myocardial infarction (MI) receiving clopidogrel. This study evaluated the impacts of CYP2C19 polymorphisms on stroke recurrence and other vascular events in a cohort of Chinese patients receiving clopidogrel. From Nanjing Stroke Registry Program, 625 consecutive patients with ischemic stroke were enrolled between May 2008 and April 2010. CYP2C19 variants (*2, *3, and *17) were genotyped. Clinical outcomes were determined with three monthly follow-up. The primary endpoint was a composite of vascular death, non-fatal ischemic stroke, and non-fatal MI. The second endpoint was bleeding events. The median exposure to clopidogrel was 13.2 (interquartile range, 8.9–18.0) months. Primary endpoint was observed in 85 (13.6%) patients and secondary endpoint in 13 (2.1%) patients. Frequencies of CYP2C19*1, *2, *3, and *17 alleles were 61.2, 34.0, 3.8, and 1.0%, respectively, in this patient cohort. CYP2C19 loss-of-function allele (*2 and *3, LOF) carriers were observed with higher risk of subsequent vascular events compared with non-carriers (17.2 versus 8.1%, HR?=?2.16, 95% CI: 1.31–3.56, p?=?0.003). After adjusted for age, sex, major cardiovascular risk factors, and drug agent, CYP2C19 LOF carrier was independently associated with primary endpoint (HR?=?2.31, 95% CI: 1.39–3.84, p?=?0.001). No significant association between CYP2C19 gain-of-function (*17, GOF) and clinical events was detected. In Chinese stroke survivors treated with clopidogrel, carriers of CYP2C19 LOF allele may have increased risk of recurrence.     

Pharmacogenetics of acenocoumarol: cytochrome P450 CYP2C9 polymorphisms influence dose requirements and stability of anticoagulation

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Cytochrome P4502C9 (CYP2C9) is the main enzyme implicated in coumarinic metabolism. Variant alleles, CYP2C9*2 and CYP2C9*3, have been related to decreased enzymatic activity, but their clinical relevance in acenocoumarol metabolism has not been established. We investigated CYP2C9 polymorphisms in relation to acenocoumarol dose requirement, stability of anticoagulation and bleeding. DESIGN AND METHODS: CYP2C9 genotyping was performed in 325 acenocoumarol-treated patients (INR target between 2.0 and 3.0) and in an additional group of 84 patients with repeated bleeding. RESULTS: Patients with the wild-type CYP2C9*1/*1 genotype (n=169) required a higher maintenance dose of acenocoumarol (17.1 8.7 mg/week) than did patients with the CYP2C9*2 (14.6 6.4 mg/week, p<0.05, N=97) or the CYP2C9*3 allele (11.2 6.2 mg/week, p<0.001, n=59). Out of 170 patients requiring a low-dose of acenocoumarol (70 years (OR=3.73, 95%CI=2.29-6.08, p<0.001), and the CYP2C9*3 allele (OR=4.75, 95%CI=2.36-9.55, p <0.001). Carriers of CYP2C9*3 spent less time within the therapeutic range (64.7 23.1%) than did patients with the CYP2C9*1/*1 genotype (75.1 22.0%, p<0.01), and more frequently had an INR >4.5 at the initiation of treatment (43.9% vs.11.6%, p<0.001), but did not show repeated bleeding more frequently (19.0% vs.15.5%, p=NS). INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSIONS: CYP2C9*3 is related to lower acenocoumarol dose requirements, a higher frequency of over-anticoagulation at the initiation of therapy and an unstable anticoagulant response.     

High on-treatment platelet reactivity by ADP and increased risk of MACE in good clopidogrel metabolizers

High on-treatment platelet reactivity (HPR) by ADP, which primarily reflects the effect of thienopyridines, has been found to be an independent predictor of ischemic events in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) on dual antiplatelet therapy. CYP2C19*2 is associated with HPR by ADP. The aim of our study was to evaluate if high on-clopidogrel platelet reactivity (HPR) by ADP is associated with an increased risk of major adverse coronary events (MACE) after ACS independent of CYP2C19*2 allele, i.e. whether genotyping patients for CYP2C19*2 polymorphism is sufficient to identify those to be switched to novel antiplatelets. A total of 1187 patients were included (CYP2C19 *1/*1 n?=?892; *1/*2 n?=?264; *2/*2 n?=?31); 76 MACE (CV death and non-fatal MI) were recorded in non-carriers of CYP2C19*2 (8.5%) and 39 in carriers of CYP2C19*2 (13.2%). At the landmark analysis in the first 6 months, HPR by ADP and CYP2C19*2 allele were both significantly and independently associated with MACE [HPR by ADP: HR?=?2.0 (95% CI 1.2–3.4), p?=?0.01; CYP2C19*2 allele: HR?=?2.3 (95% CI 1.3–3.9), p?=?0.003]. At the land mark analysis from 7 to 12 months, only HPR by ADP remained significantly associated with the risk of MACE [HPR by ADP: HR?=?2.7 (95% CI 1.4–5.3), p?=?0.003; CYP2C19*2: HR?=?0.8 (95% CI 0.2–1.1), p?=?ns]. CYP2C19*2 allele and HPR by ADP are both independently associated with an increased risk of MACE in the first 6 months after ACS. HPR by ADP is associated with an increased risk until 12 months of follow-up. Therefore, both phenotype and genotype are clinically relevant for the evaluation of the antiplatelet effect of clopidogrel and for the prognostic stratification of ACS patients.     

Clinical Impact of Genetically Determined Platelet Reactivity

Dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and clopidogrel dramatically reduced the rate of major adverse cardiac events following percutaneous coronary intervention. Clopidogrel is a prodrug which requires a two-step hepatic biotransformation thanks to the cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzyme system. Genetic polymorphism of CYP450 system (e.g., CYP2C19*2) responsible for altered clopidogrel metabolism is a major cause of high on-treatment platelet reactivity (HTPR), which translates into thrombotic events in stented patients. Studies demonstrated that HTPR could be overcome in poor metabolizers thanks to increased loading doses or maintenance doses of clopidogrel or with the use of more potent antiplatelet agents such as prasugrel. Other genetic polymorphisms have also been correlated with HTPR: ABCB1, ATP2B2, and TIAM2. Large-scale randomized trials with clinical endpoints remain necessary to determine the optimal antiplatelet therapy in patients carrying genetic polymorphism associated with HTPR and thrombotic events.

目的探讨细胞色素（cytochrome,CYP）2C19基因多态性对老年人联用质子泵抑制剂（proton pump inhibitator,PPI）与氯吡格雷的抑酸和抗血小板效果的影响。 方法选取2014年3月至2015年1月复旦大学附属华山医院老年病科收治的住院患者100例,均规律服用标准剂量PPI和（或）氯吡格雷。采用生物芯片法检测患者外周血CYP2C19基因型,根据基因型的不同代谢程度分组（强、中、弱代谢型组）,测定并比较不同代谢型组及各组内使用不同药物患者的胃液pH值、血小板抑制率（采用血栓弹力图检测）、PAG（M）（采用光学比浊法测定）。采用χ²检验分析CYP2C19基因型是否符合Hardy-Weinberg平衡;多组间比较应用单因素方差分析,进一步多重比较采用t检验;两组间的比较采用t检验。 结果强、中、弱代谢型组分别为42、46、12例;其中强代谢型组中单用PPI、单用氯吡格雷及PPI+氯吡格雷患者分别为16、14、12例,中代谢型组分别为22、10、14例,弱代谢型组分别为4、4、4例。CYP2C19等位基因的分布符合Hardy-Weinberg遗传平衡（χ²=0.49,P>0.05）。强、中、弱代谢型组间年龄、性别、血常规、肝肾功能、电解质、proBNP、血糖的差异均无统计学意义（均P>0.05）。强、中、弱代谢组中单用PPI患者血小板抑制率分别为（76.3±13.1）%、（55.9±19.1）%、（29.9%±6.1）%,差异有统计学意义（F=14.82,P<0.05）;单用氯吡格雷患者血小板抑制率分别为（76.3±13.1）%、（55.9±19.1）%、（29.9%±6.1）%,PAG（M）分别为（33.2±12.1）%、（35.2±13.8）%、（65.4±8.3）%,差异均有统计学意义（F=14.82、10.02,P<0.05或0.01）;PPI+氯吡格雷联用患者胃液pH值分别为3.66±0.7、4.5±0.5、5.0±0.7,血小板抑制率分别为（67.3±12.7）%、（40.6±25.8）%、（3.9±4.3）%,PAG（M）分别为（36.3±11.3）%、（56.2±24.0）%、（75.5%±12.3）%,差异均有统计学意义（F=9.33、15.46、7.08,P<0.05或0.01）。强代谢型组内,PPI+氯吡格雷与单用PPI患者胃液pH值的差异,以及PPI+氯吡格雷与单用氯吡格雷患者血小板抑制率及PAG（M）的差异均无统计学意义（t=-0.15、-1.70、0.67,均P>0.05）;中代谢型组内,PPI+氯吡格雷组与单用PPI患者胃液pH值的差异及PPI+氯吡格雷与单用氯吡格雷患者血小板抑制率的差异均无统计学意义（t=0.41、-1.05,P>0.05）,仅PPI+氯吡格雷与单用氯吡格雷患者PAG（M）的差异均有统计学意义[（56.2±24.0）%;（35.2±13.8）%;t=2.38,P<0.05]。弱代谢型组内,PPI+氯吡格雷与单用PPI患者胃液pH值的差异及PPI+氯吡格雷与单用氯吡格雷患者PAG（M）的差异无统计学意义（t=-0.13、1.18,均P>0.05）,仅PPI+氯吡格雷与单用氯吡格雷患者血小板抑制率的差异有统计学意义[（3.9±4.3）%,（29.9±6.1）%;t=-6.06,P<0.05]。应用经CYP450代谢药、CYP450酶抑制剂、不经CYP450酶代谢药患者胃液pH值分别为4.2±0.8、4.9±0.7、3.9±0.9,差异有统计学意义（F=3.12,P<0.05）。 结论CYP2C19基因多态性对老年人使用PPI的抑酸效果、氯吡格雷的抗血小板活性均有影响,PPI与氯吡格雷联合使用时可能相互减弱疗效,联用肝CYP450酶抑制剂会降低PPI的疗效。     

Esomeprazole with aspirin versus clopidogrel for prevention of recurrent gastrointestinal ulcer complications.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The role of clopidogrel in patients at risk for gastrointestinal complications is uncertain, although it has been recommended for patients who have gastrointestinal intolerance to aspirin. We tested the hypothesis that clopidogrel is as effective as esomeprazole and aspirin in preventing recurrences of ulcer complications. METHODS: This was a prospective, double-blind, randomized, controlled study of 170 patients who developed ulcer bleeding after the use of low-dose aspirin between November 2002 and January 2005. After healing of ulcers and eradication of Helicobacter pylori, if present, patients were assigned randomly to treatment with esomeprazole 20 mg/day and aspirin 100 mg/day (n = 86) or clopidogrel 75 mg/day (n = 84) for 52 weeks. The primary end point was recurrent ulcer complications. RESULTS: During a median follow-up period of 52 weeks, no patient in the esomeprazole group, as compared with 9 patients in the clopidogrel group, developed recurrent ulcer complications. The cumulative incidences of recurrent ulcer complications were 0% in patients receiving esomeprazole and aspirin and 13.6% in patients receiving clopidogrel (absolute difference, 13.6%; 95% confidence interval for the difference, 6.3-20.9; log-rank test, P = .0019). CONCLUSIONS: The combination of esomeprazole and aspirin is superior to clopidogrel in preventing ulcer complications in patients who have a past history of aspirin-related peptic ulcer bleeding.
