目的 了解中国人群中细胞色素P450 3A5基因CYP3A5的多态性及其基因型与临床功能之间的关联。方法 应用变性高效液相色谱技术对180份样本进行基因变异的检测，并经测序验证；以免疫荧光偏振技术监测12例造血干细胞移植患者环孢素（cyclospofin A，CsA）血浓度，数据经统计学软件分析和处理。结果 180份样本中，共检测出1种等位基因即CYP3A5＊3，其频率为76．1％（274／360）；3种基因型，即纯合子CYP3A5＊1／＊1 10份，占总数的5．6％；杂合子CYP3A5＊1／＊3 66份，占总数的36．7％；纯合子CYP3A5＊3／＊3 104份，占总数的57．8％。12例造血干细胞移植患者中检测出两种基因型，即CYP3A5＊1／＊1 2例和CYP3A5＊l／＊3 10例。CYP3A5＊1／＊ l患者外周血均一化后的CsA浓度与CYP3A5＊1／＊3相比较，前者谷浓度C0较后者低，相差2．3～6．6倍，差异有统计学意义（P〈0．01）；服药后2 h峰值C2亦较后者低，相差1．4～3．8倍，同样差异有统计学意义（P〈0．01）。结论 CYP3A5＊3是中国人群中最主要的多态性，CYP3A5基因型与造血干细胞移植患者血中CsA浓度紧密关联，CYP3A5＊1／＊1比CYP3A5＊1／＊3需要更大剂量的CsA以维持相同的血浓度。应用变性高效液相色谱对CYP3A5进行基因型分型，可以预测患者CYP3A5的功能，进而预测其CsA的需求量，使临床应用CsA更加安全有效和个体化。     

Genotype-Phenotype Analysis of CYP2C19 in Healthy Saudi Individuals and its Potential Clinical Implication in Drug Therapy

CYP2C19 is a cytochrome P450 enzyme, which is involved in the metabolism of some clinically important medications and is encoded by a highly polymorphic gene. There is no available data on the distribution of the CYP2C19 *4 and *17 mutant alleles in the Saudi Arabian population. The aim of the study was to determine different CYP2C19 mutant allele (*2, *4 and *17) frequencies in healthy Saudi subjects and to determine genotype frequencies for these mutations. The CYP2C19 genotypes were then classified into phenotypes. Result: In 201 adults of Saudi ethnicity, the allele frequencies were CYP2C19*1 (62.9%), *17 (25.7%), *2 (11.2%) and *4 (0.2%). The most prevalent genotype combinations were CYP2C19 *1/*1 (40.3%) and *1/*17 (30.4%). The distribution of CYP2C19 phenotypes was divided into extensive metabolizers (EM) 77.6%, intermediate metabolizers (IM) 14.9%, ultra-rapid metabolizers (UM) 7% and poor metabolizers (PM) 0.4%. This finding has important clinical implications for the use of CYP2C19 metabolized medications in the Saudi population and further studies are needed.

In Vitro Inhibitory Activities of the Extract of Hibiscus Sabdariffa L. (Family Malvaceae) on Selected Cytochrome P450 Isoforms

Literature is scanty on the interaction potential of Hibiscus sabdariffa L., plant extract with other drugs and the affected targets. This study was conducted to investigate the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms that are inhibited by the extract of Hibiscus sabdariffa L. in vitro. The inhibition towards the major drug metabolizing CYP isoforms by the plant extract were estimated in human liver microsomal incubations, by monitoring the CYP-specific model reactions through previously validated N-in-one assay method. The ethanolic extract of Hibiscus sabdariffa showed inhibitory activities against nine selected CYP isoforms: CYP1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP2E1 and CYP3A4. The concentrations of the extract which produced 50% inhibition of the CYP isoforms ranged from 306 µg/ml to 1660 µg/ml, and the degree of inhibition based on the IC₅₀ values for each CYP isoform was in the following order: CYP1A2 > CYP2C8 > CYP2D6 > CYP2B6 > CYP2E1 > CYP2C19 > CYP3A4 >> CYP2C9 >> CYP2A6. Ethanolic extract of Hibiscus sabdariffa caused inhibition of CYP isoforms in vitro. These observed inhibitions may not cause clinically significant herb-drug interactions; however, caution may need to be taken in co-administering the water extract of Hibiscus sabdariffa with other drugs until clinical studies are available to further clarify these findings.     

Effect of CYP2C9 gene polymorphisms on response to treatment with sulfonylureas in a cohort of Egyptian type 2 diabetes mellitus patients

Oral hypoglycemics are a widely prescribed group of drugs for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Sulfonylureas (SUs) are the cornerstone of type 2 diabetes pharmacotherapy. The enzyme cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) is the main enzyme that catalyzes the biotransformation of SUs. It is encoded by the polymorphic gene CYP2C9 with two allelic variants namely CYP2C9*2 and CYP2C9*3 coding for variant allozymes with reportedly decreased metabolic capacity resulting in decreased SUs clearance and consequently prolonged and exacerbated action. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of genetic polymorphisms of CYP2C9 on the response to glibenclamide, a second-generation sulfonylurea. Hundred type 2 diabetic patients were enrolled in the study. Genotyping was done on the LightCycler 2 by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) hybridization probe assay. The results are the following: 53 patients were carriers of the wild genotype (CYP2C9*1/*1), 20 were heterozygous for the variant CYP2C9*2 allele (CYP2C9*1/*2), 18 were heterozygous for the variant CYP2C9*3 allele (CYP2C9*1/*3), and 9 were double heterozygous for both mutant alleles (CYP2C9*2/*3); of those double mutant genotype patients, two were also homozygous for the mutant CYP2C9*2 allele (CYP2C9*2/*2) and one patient was homozygous for the mutant CYP2C9*3 allele (CYP2C9*3/*3). Although there was no significant difference in drug dosage between the four groups, there was however a significant association of the CYP2C9*2/*3 genotype with better glycemic control. As conclusion, the better glycemic control observed can probably be attributed to slower metabolism of SUs by the carriers of the CYP2C9*2/*3 genotype and consequently longer half-life or exacerbated effect of the SUs administered.     

CYP3A5基因多态性与肾移植后钙调神经蛋白抑制剂慢性肾毒性的相关性

背景：钙调神经蛋白抑制剂是实体器官移植后抗排斥治疗中最重要的一线药物之一,主要通过包括CYP3A5在内的CYP3A亚家族进行代谢。但关于CYP3A5基因多态性与钙调神经蛋白抑制剂慢性肾毒性的相关研究国内外鲜有报道。 目的：观察CYP3A5基因多态性与中国人群中钙调磷酸酶抑制剂慢性肾毒性发生的关系。 方法：分别收集200例肾移植后出现慢性肾毒性的中国人种患者设为肾毒组;200例肾移植至少12个月后没有出现慢性肾毒性的中国人种患者设为对照组,取两组血样和临床数据。采用聚合酶链反应-限制性内切酶片段长度多态性技术分别检测两组的CYP3A5突变位点基因型。通过统计学分析CYP3A5的基因多态性与钙调神经蛋白抑制剂慢性肾毒性之间的关系。 结果与结论：慢性肾毒组中CYP3A5基因型*1/*1+*1/*3(显示CYP3A5活性)和*3/*3(不显示CYP3A5活性)分别占39.5%(79/200)和60.5%(121/200);对照组中CYP3A5基因型*1/*1+*1/*3(显示CYP3A5活性)和*3/*3(不显示CYP3A5活性)分别占28.5%(57/200)和71.5%(143/200)。两组间差异有显著性意义(χ²=9.000,P < 0.05,OR=1.638,95%CI=1.078-2.488)。通过Logistic回归分析CYP3A5*1/*1和CYP3A5*1/*3是显著的引起CNI慢性肾毒性的危险因素(P < 0.05,OR=1.638,95%CI=1.078~2.488)。提示,CYP3A5的基因多态性可能增加肾移植患者慢性肾毒性的遗传易感性;参与钙调神经蛋白抑制剂慢性肾毒性疾病的发生。     

Testing for variants in CYP2C19: population frequencies and testing experience in a clinical laboratory

PurposeWe sought to determine the genotype frequencies for cytochrome p450 enzyme 2C19 variant alleles both in the US pan–ethnic population and various US ethnic groups and to establish the frequency of clinically actionable genotypes.MethodsAnalytical results were obtained from 1,396 consecutive samples submitted for cytochrome p450 enzyme 2C19 genotyping tests and stored in a proprietary database. This database was queried and genotypes and predicted phenotypes established. Anonymized samples were obtained from specimens submitted for cystic fibrosis genotyping that contained ethnicity information. Samples from 357, 149, and 346 individuals self–identified as white, African American, and Hispanic, respectively, were analyzed. In addition, 342 anonymized samples submitted for Ashkenazi Jewish panel testing were analyzed.ResultsSignificant ethnic differences were observed in the frequencies of the *17 ultrarapid allele among the various groups studied. In the pan–ethnic population, 3.8% of tested patients were classified as ultrarapid metabolizers, 24% as extensive metabolizers heterozygous for a *17 ultrarapid allele, 27% as intermediate metabolizers, and 3.5% as poor metabolizers. Using stringent criteria, 7.3% of individuals would have clinically actionable genotypes. In addition, we detected two individuals with a haplotype of *2/*17 and a single individual with a haplotype of *4/*17 indicating that the *17 hypermetabolic allele can occur on a *1, *2, or *4 background.Genet Med 2012:14(1):95–100.     

Genetic polymorphism of CYP1A2 increases the risk of myocardial infarction

Background: There is growing evidence that DNA damage caused by mutagens found in tobacco smoke may contribute to the development of coronary heart disease (CHD). In order to bind to DNA many mutagens require metabolic activation by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A1 or CYP1A2. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of CYP1A1 and CYP1A2 genotypes on risk of myocardial infarction (MI) and whether smoking interacts with genotype to modify risk.

Methods: Subjects (n = 873) with a first acute non-fatal MI and population based controls (n = 932) living in Costa Rica, matched for age, sex, and area of residence, were genotyped for CYP1A1*2A and CYP1A2*1F by restriction-fragment length polymorphism (RFLP)-PCR, and smoking status was determined by questionnaire.

Results: After adjusting for matching variables and potential confounders, no association was observed between CYP1A1 genotype and risk of MI. Compared to individuals with the high inducibility CYP1A2*1A/*1A genotype, the adjusted odds ratio and 95% confidence intervals for risk of MI were 1.19 (0.97 to 1.47) for the *1A/*1F genotype and 1.55 (1.10 to 2.18) for the *1F/*1F genotype. No significant interactions were observed between smoking and either CYP1A1 or CYP1A2 genotype.

Conclusions: The low inducibility genotype for CYP1A2 was associated with an increased risk of MI. This effect was independent of smoking status and suggests that a substrate of CYP1A2 that is detoxified rather than activated may play a role in CHD.

     

山东人群华法林稳定剂量预测模型的准确性验证

目的比较5种华法林稳定剂量预测模型以及经验给药方式(2.5 mg/day)对山东人群预测的准确性。方法招募正在或曾经服用华法林并已达到稳定剂量的患者,检测重要的华法林药物代谢基因的型别,收集患者的临床信息,采用预测百分比及绝对误差均值法评价各模型预测的准确性。结果在入组的125例患者中,CYP2C9*1/*1、CYP2C9*1/*3和CYP2C9*1/*2基因型分别占92.00%、7.20%和0.80%。VKORC1-1639 AA、AG、GG基因型分别占82.40%、15.20%、2.40%;CYP4F2*1/*1、*1/*3,*3/*3基因型分别占50.40%、39.20%、10.40%。在其他位点型别固定的情况下,CYP2C9*1/*3和CYP2C9*1/*2基因型个体与CYP2C9*1/*1相比华法林剂量明显降低。VKORC1-1639 AG型与AA型相比华法林稳定剂量增加45%~50%(P<0.05)。CYP4F2*1/*3与CYP4F2*1/*1基因型个体相比,华法林稳定剂量增加约5.9%(P=0.02);CYP4F2*3/*3与CYP4F2*1/*1基因型个体相比华法林剂量增加约13.0%(P=0.129)。预测效果较好的模型包括IWPC(59.20%)、Huang(57.60%)、Ohno(52.80%),绝对误差均值分别为0.35(95%CI:0.11~0.49)、0.15(95%CI:0.10~0.32)、0.39(95%CI:0.12~0.51)。结论CYP2C9、VKORC1、CYP4F2等3个基因的多态性对山东人群的华法林稳定剂量存在影响。IWPC模型更适用于山东人群。     

Association of Polymorphism in Cytochrome P450 2D6 and N-Acetyltransferase-2 with Parkinson’s Disease

The present case-control study was carried out to investigate the association of polymorphism in cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) and N-acteyltransferase-2 (NAT2), that are involved in the metabolism and detoxification of chemicals causing Parkinson disease (PD) like symptoms, with PD. Our data demonstrated increased frequency of CYP2D6*2 (1749G/C and 2938C/T), CYP2D6*4 (1934G/A) and CYP2D6*10A (188C/T) polymorphisms in PD cases when compared to the controls. Statistical analysis revealed the significant association of CYP2D6*4 (1934G/A) and CYP2D6*10A (188C/T) polymorphism with PD. Likewise, increased frequency of NAT2*7 polymorphism that leads to the slow acetylator phenotype was observed in PD patients with more than fivefold increased risk (OR: 5.55; 95%CI: 0.56–54). No change was observed in the frequency of NAT*5 or NAT*6 alleles in the cases. Further, cases carrying combination of heterozygous genotypes of CYP2D6*4 or CYP2D6*10A(188C > T) and NAT2*5 were found to be at significantly higher risk for PD demonstrating the importance of gene-gene interactions in determining susceptibility to PD.     

Monitoring Thiopurine Metabolites in Korean Pediatric Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Purpose

This study aimed to assess the role of thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) and 6-thioguanine nucleotide (6-TGN) as predictors of clinical response and side effects to azathioprine (AZA), and estimate the optimal AZA dose in Korean pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients.

Materials and Methods

One hundred and nine pediatric IBD patients in whom AZA treatment was required were enrolled. Thiopurine metabolites were monitored since September 2010. Among them, 83 patients who had prescribed AZA for at least 3 months prior to September 2010 were enrolled and followed until October 2011 to evaluate optimal AZA dose, adverse effects and disease activity before and after thiopurine metabolite monitoring.

Results

The result of the TPMT genotype was that 102 patients were *1/*1 (wild type), four were *1/*3C, one was *1/*6, one was *1/*16 (heterozygote) and one was *3C/*3C (homozygote). Adverse effects happened in 31 patients pre-metabolite monitoring and in only nine patients post-metabolite monitoring. AZA dose was 1.4±0.31 mg/kg/day before monitoring and 1.1±0.46 mg/kg/day after monitoring (p<0.001). However, there were no statistical differences in disease activity during metabolite monitoring period (p=0.34). Adverse effects noticeably decreased although reduction of the AZA dose since monitoring.

Conclusion

TPMT genotype and thiopurine metabolite monitoring could be helpful to examine TPMT genotypes before administering AZA and to measure 6-TGN concentrations during prescribing AZA in IBD patients.     

Novel mutations in the cytochrome P450 2C19 gene: a pitfall of the PCR-RFLP method for identifying a common mutation

CYP2C19 is a clinically important enzyme involved in the metabolism of therapeutic drugs such as (S)-mephenytoin, omeprazole, proguanil, and diazepam. Individuals can be characterized as either extensive metabolizers (EM) or poor metabolizers (PM) on the basis of CYP2C19 enzyme activity. The PM phenotype occurs in 2–5% of Caucasian populations, but at higher frequencies (18–23%) in Asians. CYP2C19*2 and CYP2C19*3, which are single-nucleotide polymorphisms of CYP2C19, are the main cause of PM phenotyping in homozygotes or compound heterozygotes. We report two novel mutations in the CYP2C19 gene identified by direct sequencing and subcloning procedures. One of these mutations was considered to be CYP2C19*3 by polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). This result suggests that mutations classed as CYP2C19*3 might include other mutations. Further studies are needed to clarify the relationship between these novel mutations and enzyme activity.The DDBJ accession number of the novel mutation is AB113829     

湖北地区房颤患者VKORC1、CYP2C9基因多态性及其对华法林用量的影响

肾移植受者CYP3A5基因多态性对他克莫司血药浓度及疗效的影响*

背景：关于欧美人群中CYP3A5基因与他克莫司血药浓度之间关系已有报道,然而这些研究的数据多来自于移植后1个   月~1年,缺乏移植后早期的资料。 目的：探讨CYP3A 基因多态性与肾移植受者他克莫司血药浓度的关系,分析CYP3A5基因型对肾移植后排斥反应和毒性及不良反应的影响。 方法：按CYP3A5基因多态性将45例采用他克莫司+霉酚酸酯+泼尼松三联免疫抑制方案的肾移植患者分为*1/*1型组(11例)、*1/*3型组(15例)和*3/*3型组(19例),他克莫司初始剂量均为0.15 mg/(kg•d),1周后根据目标浓度调整他克莫司剂量。 结果与结论：术后7 d,1个月,3个月* 3/* 3型组他克莫司血药浓度/剂量比显著高于* 1/*3型组和*1/*1型组(P < 0.05) ;3个月内*1/*1型组急性排斥反应的比例显著高于*1/*3型组和*3/*3型组(P < 0.05)。3个月内*3/*3型组高血糖、神经及肾毒性等不良反应显著高于*1/*1型组。结果可见*1/*1基因型患者在肾移植早期难以达到有效目标血药浓度,使该组3个月内的急性排斥反应发生率明显升高,不合适采用目前他克莫司的初始剂量方案作为早期的抗排斥反应方案;*3/*3基因型患者他克莫司血药浓度明显升高,使3个月内毒性及不良反应发生率也明显升高。因此,根据CYP3A5 基因多态性作为他克莫司个体化用药的依据,既能使* 1 /* 1型患者早期急性排斥反应的发生率下降,又能使* 3 /*3型患者的药物不良反应减少,提高肾移植的临床效果。      

Effect of different genetics variants: CYP2C9*2, CYP2C9*3 of cytochrome P-450 CYP2C9 and 1639G>A of the VKORC1 gene; On acenocoumarol requirement in Moroccan patients

Coumarin derivatives such as acenocoumarol represent the therapy of choice for the long-term treatment and prevention of thromboembolic diseases. Many genetics determinants involved in the metabolism of acenocoumarol have been shown to influence the anticoagulant dosage. The aim of this work was to evaluate, for the first time in Maghreb, the allelic frequencies of CYP2C9*2, CYP2C9*3 and VKORC1 -1639G>A mutations, and to establish the role of this polymorphisms in modulating the acenocoumarol requirement in Moroccan patients receiving anticoagulation treatment. Three groups of patients, with low, medium, or high acenocoumarol dose requirements were studied. Genetic analyses of VKORC1 -1639G>A, CYP2C9*2, and CYP2C9*3, were performed in 114 Moroccan patients with stable acenocoumarol dose. The results showed that the allelic frequencies of the three mutations studied was varies, most of patients having CYP2C9*2 and CYP2C9*3 mutations belong to a group with low dose of acenocoumarol, with P-value of 0.0082 and the single patient with CYP2C9*3 on homozygous form belongs to the same group and carried the A allele for VKORC1 gene. In conclusion, the present study confirmed the large interindividual variability in acenocoumarol maintenance dose due to CYP2C9*2, CYP2C9*3 and VKORC1 -1639G>A polymorphisms, and demonstrated that these alleles modulates sensitivity to acenocoumarol, a finding indicating that a reduced initial loading dose of acenocoumarol should be used in carriers of this allele, also, she indicates the usefulness of predictive testing concerning these mutations when an hypocoagulability is installed and not explained by the dose of VKA.     

Detection and identification of cytochrome P-450 2C9 alleles *1, *2, and *3 by high-resolution melting curve analysis of PCR amplicons

High-resolution melting curve analysis using a fluorescent DNA binding dye can detect sequence variations in a closed-tube system without labeled primers or probes. We developed and verified a melting analysis assay for common single nucleotide polymorphisms of cytochrome P-450 (CYP) 2C9 that affect warfarin metabolism. We used this method to genotype 84 patients receiving warfarin. For wild-type, *1/*1, 50% fluorescence corresponded to a mean+/-SD of 87.17+/-0.05 degrees C, whereas *2/*2 was 0.4 degrees C lower. The *1/*2 melting curve was easily distinguished from *1/*1 and *2/*2 based on transition temperature and shape. Exon 7 showed a more complex melting curve; however, genotypes *1/*1, *1/*3, and *3/*3 were easily distinguishable. Melting curves were highly reproducible (SD of temperature for multiple fluorescence values 0.04 degrees C-0.11 degrees C; mean, 0.06 degrees C). Heterozygotes (*1/*2 or *1/*3) required significantly lower mean maintenance warfarin doses compared with wild-type (30.67 and 29.56 vs 42.81 mg/wk; P<.05). High-resolution melting analysis provides a simple and accurate method for genotyping of CYP2C9.     

Human leukocyte antigen-DRB1*1501 and DQB1*0602 alleles are cervical cancer protective factors among Uighur and Han people in Xinjiang,China

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a major risk factor for cervical cancer. However, only some high risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV)-infected women progress to cervical cancer, host immunogenetic factors human leukocyte antigen (HLA) may account for viral antigens presenting individually or together in the progression to cervical cancer. This study examined the association between the development of invasive cervical cancer (ICC) and the determinant factors including HLA-DRB1*1501 and DQB1*0602, HR-HPV infection among Chinese Uighur and Han populations. Blood samples, cervical swabs and biopsies were obtained from 287 patients with ICC (192 Uighurs and 95 Hans) and 312 healthy controls (218 Uighurs and 94 Hans). HPV DNA was detected by PCR and HLA-DRB1*1501 and DQB1*0602 alleles were performed using PCR-SSP method. HPV16 infection rates was significantly higher among Uighur and Han with ICC as compared to healthy controls (OR = 58.317; 95% CI: 39.663-85.744; OR = 33.778; 95% CI: 12.581-90.691; P < 0.05 for all). HLA-DRB1*1501 (OR = 0.305; 95% CI: 0.115-0.813; P < 0.05) and HLA-DRB1*1501-DQB1*0602 haplotype frequencies (OR = 0.274; 95% CI: 0.086-0.874; P < 0.05) were significantly reduced in Han ICC. The HLA-DQB1*0602 frequency significantly decreased among Uighur women with ICC (OR = 0.482; 95% CI: 0.325-0.716; P < 0.05). Similar tendencies were observed for DQB1*0602 with HPV16-positive ICC (OR = 0.550; 95% CI: 0.362-0.837; P < 0.05). This study suggests that HLA-DRB1*1501 and DQB1*0602 alleles may influence the immune response to HPV16 infection and decrease the risk of ICC among Uighurs and Hans in Xinjiang, China.
