Abstract
Tacrolimus is a commonly used immunosuppressant after kidney transplantation. It has a narrow therapeutic range and demonstrates wide interindividual variability in pharmacokinetics, leading to potential underimmunosuppression or toxicity. Genetic polymorphism in CYP3A5 enzyme expression contributes to differences in tacrolimus bioavailability between individuals. Individuals carrying one or more copies of the wild-type allele *1 express CYP3A5, which increases tacrolimus clearance. CYP3A5 expressers require 1.5 to 2-fold higher tacrolimus doses compared to usual dosing to achieve therapeutic blood concentrations. Individuals with homozygous *3/*3 genotype are CYP3A5 nonexpressers. CYP3A5 nonexpression is the most frequent phenotype in most ethnic populations, except blacks. Differences between CYP3A5 genotypes in tacrolimus disposition have not translated into differences in clinical outcomes, such as acute rejection and graft survival. Therefore, although genotype-based dosing may improve achievement of therapeutic drug concentrations with empiric dosing, its role in clinical practice is unclear. CYP3A5 genotype may predict differences in absorption of extended-release and immediate-release oral formulations of tacrolimus. Two studies found that CYP3A5 expressers require higher doses of tacrolimus in the extended-release formulation compared to immediate release. CYP3A5 genotype plays a role in determining the impact of interacting drugs, such as fluconazole, on tacrolimus pharmacokinetics. Evidence conflicts regarding the impact of CYP3A5 genotype on risk of nephrotoxicity associated with tacrolimus. Further study is required.

Donor and recipient P450 gene polymorphisms influence individual pharmacological effects of tacrolimus in Chinese liver transplantation patients. Int Immunopharmacol 2018; 57:18-24. [PMID: 29454235 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2018.02.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2017] [Revised: 02/08/2018] [Accepted: 02/09/2018] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
The immunosuppressant drug tacrolimus (Tac) used for the prevention of immunological rejection is a metabolic substrate of cytochrome P450 enzymes. This study was designed to evaluate the short-term and long-term potential influence of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in CYP450 genes of liver transplant (LT) recipients as well as the donors on individual pharmacological effects of Tac and to guide individualized-medication from the perspective of pharmacogenomics. Twenty-one SNPs of the CYP450 gene were genotyped for both recipients and donors in 373 LT patients receiving Tac-based immunosuppressants. The Tac concentration/dosage ratio (C/D) was evaluated from the initial medication until one year after LT. The C/D ratio was significantly higher when the donor and/or recipient genotype of CYP3A5 rs776746 was G/G or rs15524 was T/T or rs4646450 was C/C all through one year after transplantation. Comparing the effect of donor gene variants of rs776746, rs15524, and rs4646450 on Tac C/D ratios with the recipients, statistically significant differences were found between the donor T/T group and the recipient T/T group in rs15524 at 1 month and 6 months, and at 6 months, the donor C/C group differed from the recipient C/C group in rs4646450. In conclusion, rs776746, rs15524, and rs4646450 of CYP3A5 had a significant influence on Tac pharmacological effects for both the initial use and long-term use. The donor liver genotype and the recipient intestine genotype contribute almost equally in the short-term, but the donor genotype had a greater effect than the recipient genotype at 6 months. Personalized Tac treatment after LT should be based on the CYP3A5 genotype.

Abstract
Little is known about the impact of CYP3A5 polymorphisms on transplantation outcomes among African American (AA) kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). To assess this issue, clinical outcomes were compared between AA CYP3A5*1 expressers and nonexpressers. This retrospective cohort study analyzed AA KTRs. Biopsy-proven acute rejection (BPAR), delayed graft function (DGF), glomerular filtration rate (GFR), infections, and tacrolimus dosing requirements were examined in 106 immunologically high-risk AA kidney transplant patients over a 2-year follow-up period. In CYP3A5*1 expressers compared to nonexpressers, the incidence of BPAR was significantly higher in the first 6 months (13% vs 0%; P = .016) compared to 24 months (13% vs 7%; P = .521). Tacrolimus total daily dose at first therapeutic level was significantly higher in CYP3A5*1 expressers (12 mg/day) compared to nonexpressers (8 mg/day; P < .001). Compared to CYP3A5*1 nonexpressers, DGF incidence was significantly higher among CYP3A5*1 expressers (27.6% vs 6.7%; P = .006). By contrast, median GFR was significantly higher in CYP3A5*1 expressers compared to nonexpressers (54.5 mL/min vs 50.0 mL/min; P = .003) at 24 months. The findings from this retrospective study suggest that AAs with CYP3A5*1 expression require 50% more tacrolimus and have an increased incidence of DGF and acute rejection.

A new donors' CYP3A5 and recipients' CYP3A4 cluster predicting tacrolimus disposition, and new-onset hypertension in Chinese liver transplant patients. Oncotarget 2017; 8:70250-70261.

Abstract
AIM The purpose of the current study was to investigate individualized therapy of tacrolimus (Tac), as well as complications after liver transplantation (LT) with the known genetic determinants and clinical factors. METHODS In this retrospective study, two cohorts (n=170) from the China Liver Transplant Registry (CLTR) database from July 2007 to March 2015 were included. RESULTS Both donors' CYP3A5*3 and recipients' CYP3A4*1G had a correlation with Tac pharmacokinetics at four weeks (all P<0.05), except recipients' CYP3A4*1G nearly had an association at week 2 (P=0.055). The model of donors' CYP3A5*3, recipients' CYP3A4*1G, and total bilirubin (TBL), for the prediction of Tac disposition, was better than donors' CYP3A5*3 only at week 1, 2, and 3 (P=0.010, P=0.007, and P=0.010, respectively), but not apparent at week 4 (P=0.297). Besides, when the P value was greater than or equal to 0.6685 after considering the false-positive rate R=10%, the patients were considered to have a faster metabolism, according to the mentioned model. Interestingly, we found that if more than or equal to two alleles A were present in the combination of donors' CYP3A5*3 and recipients' CYP3A4*1G genotype, there was a lower Tac C/D ration at week 1, 2, and 3 (P<0.001, P=0.001, and P<0.001), except at week 4 (P=0.082), and the probability of new-onset hypertension was lesser (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS These data provided a potential basis for a comprehensive approach to predicting the Tac dose requirement in individual patients and provided a strategy for the effective prevention, early diagnosis of new-onset hypertension in Chinese LT recipients.

Abstract
PURPOSE Metastatic breast cancer (MBC) progressing after endocrine therapy frequently activates PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. The BOLERO-2 trial showed that everolimus-exemestane achieves increased progression free survival (PFS) compared with exemestane. However, there is great inter-patient variability in toxicity and response to exemestane-everolimus treatment. The objective of this study was to perform an exploratory study analyzing the implication of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on outcomes from this treatment through a pharmacogenetic analysis. PATIENTS AND METHODS Blood was collected from 90 postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative MBC treated with exemestane-everolimus following progression after prior treatment with a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor. Everolimus pharmacokinetics was measured in 37 patients. Twelve SNPs in genes involved in everolimus pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics were genotyped and associations assessed with drug plasma levels, clinically relevant toxicities (non-infectious pneumonitis, mucositis, hyperglycemia and hematological toxicities), dose reductions or treatment suspensions due to toxicity, progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival. RESULTS We found that CYP3A4 rs35599367 variant (CYP3A4*22 allele) carriers had higher everolimus blood concentration compared to wild type patients (P = 0.019). ABCB1 rs1045642 was associated with risk of mucositis (P = 0.031), while PIK3R1 rs10515074 and RAPTOR rs9906827 were associated with hyperglycemia and non-infectious pneumonitis (P = 0.016 and 0.024, respectively). Furthermore, RAPTOR rs9906827 was associated with PFS (P = 0.006). CONCLUSIONS CYP3A4*22 allele influenced plasma concentration of everolimus and several SNPs in PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway genes were associated with treatment toxicities and prognosis. These results require replication, but suggest that germline variation could influence everolimus outcomes in MBC.

Abstract
AIMS The CYP3A metric 4β-hydroxycholesterol (4βOHC) has been shown to correlate with tacrolimus steady-state apparent oral clearance (CL/F). Recently, pretransplant 4βOHC was shown not to predict tacrolimus CL/F after transplantation in a cohort of renal recipients (n = 79). The goal of the current study was determine whether these findings could be validated in a substantially larger cohort. METHODS In a retrospective analysis of 279 renal recipients, tacrolimus trough concentrations (C0), daily dose, haematocrit and other relevant covariates were registered every day for the first 14 days after transplantation. 4βOHC and cholesterol were quantified on plasma collected immediately pretransplant using liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry. Patients were genotyped for CYP3A5*1 and CYP3A4*22. RESULTS A total of 3551 tacrolimus C0 concentrations were registered. In a linear mixed model for the 14-day period, determinants of tacrolimus C0 were CYP3A5 genotype, haematocrit, age and weight (overall R2 = 0.179). Determinants of daily dose were CYP3A5 genotype, age, methylprednisolone dose, tacrolimus formulation, ALT and estimated glomerular filtration rate (overall R2 = 0.242). Considering each of the first 5 days separately, 4βOHC had a limited effect on tacrolimus C0 on day 3 only (-1.00 ng ml-1 per ln, P = 0.035) but not on any other day, and no effect on dose or C0/dose. During the first 5 days, haematocrit and age, which were previously established as determinants of tacrolimus disposition under steady-state conditions, never explained more than 17.7% of between-subject variability in tacrolimus C0/dose. CONCLUSIONS The CYP3A metric 4βOHC cannot be used to predict tacrolimus dose requirements in the first days after transplantation.

Abstract
Kidney and pancreas transplantation have helped transform the lives of people with end-stage renal failure and individuals with type 1 diabetes who have poor glycaemic control/severe secondary complications, respectively. Despite an improvement in immunosuppressive regimes, operative techniques and decreased initial rejection rates, there has been little improvement in long-term graft survival rates over the past decade. Whilst limited progress has been made in establishing clinical markers of graft function, several genetic markers of long-term graft function have been identified. These genetic markers have the potential to (i) assist in selecting marginal donor organs for transplantation, (ii) provide better understanding of the mechanisms behind graft loss enabling identification of new, or repurposing, current treatments to extend graft function and (iii) provide a window of opportunity to identify and treat individuals before graft failure has occurred. This review will discuss the different genetic variants screened for a role in predicting transplant longevity, examine their findings and limitations and introduce where the future of genetic research within the transplantation field lies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Polymorphisms in genes encoding for drug-metabolizing enzymes and drug transporters are among multiple factors that modulate the pharmacokinetic variability of tacrolimus (TAC) and sirolimus (SRL). This study aimed to evaluate the influence of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on TAC and SRL dose-adjusted concentrations (C0/D) in stable kidney transplant recipients. METHODS This is an exploratory and prospective study, which includes 46 stable kidney transplant recipients. These patients were monitored from the 3rd to the 24th month after transplantation. The SRL group consisted of 25 patients receiving TAC, prednisone (PRED), and mycophenolate sodium (MPS), which were converted from TAC to SRL at 3rd month after transplantation. The TAC group consisted of 21 patients who underwent treatment with TAC, PRED, and MPS. Both groups were genotyped for CYP3A4 rs2242480 (g.20230G>A), CYP3A5 rs15524 (g.31611C>T), CYP2C8 rs10509681 (c.1196A>G) and ABCB1 rs1045642 (c.3435C>T), rs1128503 (c.1236C>T), and rs2032582 (c.2677G>T/A) polymorphisms. RESULTS In the TAC group, CYP3A4 rs2242480 A allele carriers were associated with lower TAC C0/D. For CYP3A5 rs15524 SNP, C0/D was higher among patients carrying TT genotype when compared with CT and CC genotype carriers in the SRL and, more consistently, in the TAC groups. For ABCB1 rs1045642 SNP, TT genotype was associated with reduced SRL C0/D, but only at month 15. CONCLUSIONS CYP3A4 rs2242480 and CYP3A5 rs15524 SNPs resulted in significant changes in SRL and TAC C0/D at different times after transplantation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Severe obesity has been shown to limit access to renal transplantation in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has been performed in the ESRD population to assist in achieving waitlist and transplant eligibility. Little is known about how LSG impacts the bioequivalence of tacrolimus products and immunosuppression pharmacokinetics. METHODS This was a prospective, open-label, single-dose, crossover, two-period pharmacokinetic (PK) study. The purpose of this study was to assess single-dose PK of immediate-release tacrolimus (IR-TAC), extended-release tacrolimus (ER-TAC), and mycophenolic acid (MPA) in adult ESRD patients post-LSG. RESULTS Twenty-three subjects were included in the 24-hour PK assessments. The ratio of geometric means between ER-TAC and IR-TAC was 103.5% (90% CI; 89.6%-119.6%) for AUC0-24 and 92.5% (90% CI; 80.4%-106.4%) for Cmax . PK parameters were similar between ER-TAC and IR-TAC, except for Cmin (P=.004) and Cmax (P=.04). MPA AUC0-24 was similar when given with either ER-TAC or IR-TAC (P=.32). Patients expressing CYP3A5*1 genotypes had lower tacrolimus AUC0-24 values vs those with CYP3A5*3/*3 (IR-TACP<.001; ER-TACP=.008). Genotype did not impact MPA PK. CONCLUSION Dose modification of immunosuppressants post-LSG may not be necessary aside from standard therapeutic drug monitoring.

Abstract
Sex plays a role in the incidence and progression of a wide variety of diseases and conditions related to transplantation. Additionally, a growing body of clinical and experimental evidence suggests that sex can impact the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of several commonly used immunosuppressive and anti-infective drugs in transplant recipients. A better understanding of these sex differences will facilitate advances in individualizing treatment for patients and improve outcomes of solid organ transplantation. Here, we provide a review of sex-related differences in transplantation and highlight opportunities for future research directions.

Abstract
Tacrolimus has a narrow therapeutic window and considerable variability in clinical use. Our goal was to compare the performance of multiple linear regression (MLR) and eight machine learning techniques in pharmacogenetic algorithm-based prediction of tacrolimus stable dose (TSD) in a large Chinese cohort. A total of 1,045 renal transplant patients were recruited, 80% of which were randomly selected as the “derivation cohort” to develop dose-prediction algorithm, while the remaining 20% constituted the “validation cohort” to test the final selected algorithm. MLR, artificial neural network (ANN), regression tree (RT), multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS), boosted regression tree (BRT), support vector regression (SVR), random forest regression (RFR), lasso regression (LAR) and Bayesian additive regression trees (BART) were applied and their performances were compared in this work. Among all the machine learning models, RT performed best in both derivation [0.71 (0.67–0.76)] and validation cohorts [0.73 (0.63–0.82)]. In addition, the ideal rate of RT was 4% higher than that of MLR. To our knowledge, this is the first study to use machine learning models to predict TSD, which will further facilitate personalized medicine in tacrolimus administration in the future.

High tacrolimus blood concentrations early after lung transplantation and the risk of kidney injury. Eur J Clin Pharmacol 2017; 73:573-580. [PMID: 28132082 PMCID: PMC5384949 DOI: 10.1007/s00228-017-2204-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 53] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2016] [Accepted: 01/17/2017] [Indexed: 01/05/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Lung transplant recipients often develop acute kidney injury (AKI) evolving into chronic kidney disease (CKD). The immunosuppressant tacrolimus might be associated with the emergence of AKI. We analyzed the development and recovery of kidney injury after lung transplantation and related AKI to whole-blood tacrolimus trough concentrations and other factors causing kidney injury. METHODS We retrospectively studied kidney injury in 186 lung-transplantation patients at the UMC Utrecht between 2001 and 2011. Kidney function and whole-blood tacrolimus trough concentrations were determined from day 1 to 14 and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postoperative. Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), septic shock, and nephrotoxic medications were evaluated as covariates for AKI. We analyzed liver injury and drug-drug interactions. RESULTS AKI was present in 85 (46%) patients. Tacrolimus concentrations were supra-therapeutic in 135 of 186 patients (73%). AKI in the first week after transplantation was related to supra-therapeutic tacrolimus concentrations (OR 1.55; 95% CI 1.06-2.27), ≥3 other nephrotoxic drugs (OR 1.96; 95% CI 1.02-3.77), infection (OR 2.48; 95% CI 1.31-4.70), and cystic fibrosis (OR 2.17; 95% CI 1.16-4.06). Recovery rate of AKI was lower than expected (19%), and the cumulative incidence of severe CKD at 1 year was 15%. CONCLUSIONS After lung transplantation, AKI is common and often evolves into severe CKD, which is a known cause of morbidity and mortality. Supra-therapeutic whole-blood tacrolimus trough concentrations are related to the early onset of AKI. Conscientious targeting tacrolimus blood concentrations might be vital in the early phase after lung transplantation. What is known about this subject? • Lung transplant recipients often develop acute kidney injury evolving into chronic kidney disease increasing both morbidity and mortality. • To date, the pathophysiology of kidney injury after lung transplantation has not been fully elucidated. • The immunosuppressant tacrolimus is difficult to dose, especially in the unstable clinical setting, and is nephrotoxic. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS • For the first time, supra-therapeutic whole-blood tacrolimus trough concentrations are related to the emergence of acute kidney injury in the first days after lung transplantation. • Supra-therapeutic whole-blood tacrolimus trough concentrations often occur early after lung transplantation. • AKI after lung transplantation shows low recovery rates.

Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics and Pharmacogenomics of Immunosuppressants in Allogeneic Haematopoietic Cell Transplantation: Part I. Clin Pharmacokinet 2016; 55:525-50.

Abstract
Although immunosuppressive treatments and target concentration intervention (TCI) have significantly contributed to the success of allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT), there is currently no consensus on the best immunosuppressive strategies. Compared with solid organ transplantation, alloHCT is unique because of the potential for bidirectional reactions (i.e. host-versus-graft and graft-versus-host). Postgraft immunosuppression typically includes a calcineurin inhibitor (cyclosporine or tacrolimus) and a short course of methotrexate after high-dose myeloablative conditioning, or a calcineurin inhibitor and mycophenolate mofetil after reduced-intensity conditioning. There are evolving roles for the antithymyocyte globulins (ATGs) and sirolimus as postgraft immunosuppression. A review of the pharmacokinetics and TCI of the main postgraft immunosuppressants is presented in this two-part review. All immunosuppressants are characterized by large intra- and interindividual pharmacokinetic variability and by narrow therapeutic indices. It is essential to understand immunosuppressants' pharmacokinetic properties and how to use them for individualized treatment incorporating TCI to improve outcomes. TCI, which is mandatory for the calcineurin inhibitors and sirolimus, has become an integral part of postgraft immunosuppression. TCI is usually based on trough concentration monitoring, but other approaches include measurement of the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) over the dosing interval or limited sampling schedules with maximum a posteriori Bayesian personalization approaches. Interpretation of pharmacodynamic results is hindered by the prevalence of studies enrolling only a small number of patients, variability in the allogeneic graft source and variability in postgraft immunosuppression. Given the curative potential of alloHCT, the pharmacodynamics of these immunosuppressants deserves to be explored in depth. Development of sophisticated systems pharmacology models and improved TCI tools are needed to accurately evaluate patients' exposure to drugs in general and to immunosuppressants in particular. Sequential studies, first without and then with TCI, should be conducted to validate the clinical benefit of TCI in homogenous populations; randomized trials are not feasible, because there are higher-priority research questions in alloHCT. In Part I of this article, we review the alloHCT process to facilitate optimal design of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics studies. We also review the pharmacokinetics and TCI of calcineurin inhibitors and methotrexate.

Abstract
AIMS To assess the efficacy and safety of tacrolimus and cyclosporin A (CsA)-based immunosuppressive regimens in Chinese de novo kidney transplant recipients who are CYP3A5 expressers. METHODS The CYP3A5 (6986 A>G, rs776746) polymorphism of eligible patients was determined before transplantation. De novo kidney transplant recipients enrolled in this study were assigned to tacrolimus (Tac group) or CsA (CsA group) based therapy. The follow-up period was 2 years. The incidence of acute rejection, patient and graft survival rates, renal allograft function and post-transplant complications were compared. The intra-individual variability (IIV) of Tac and CsA blood concentrations was analysed. Medication costs were also compared. The analysis was conducted on the intention-to-treat principle. RESULTS A total of 72 CYP3A5 expressers were enrolled, with 36 patients in each group. AR incidence was higher in the Tac group (11.1% vs. 5.6%), but there was no significant difference (p > 0.05). The 2-year patient and graft survival was comparable, and renal function was comparable in the two groups. Notably, the Tac group presented a significantly higher incidence of BK viremia (22.2% vs. 5.6%, p < 0.05) and BK viruria (38.9% vs. 16.7%, p < 0.05) than the CsA group. The CsA IIV at 1 and 3 months post-transplant was significantly lower than the Tac IIV (p < 0.05). The medical costs of both immunosuppressive drugs and management of complications was significantly lower in the CsA group. CONCLUSIONS Cyclosporin A-based maintenance therapy is safe for Chinese de novo kidney transplant recipients who are CYP3A5 expressers. CsA significantly reduced medication costs and decreased BKV infection, suggesting that it is more beneficial for this specific population.

Abstract
AIMS We compared the CYP3A4 metrics weight-corrected midazolam apparent oral clearance (MDZ Cl/F/W) and plasma 4β-hydroxycholesterol/cholesterol (4β-OHC/C) as they relate to tacrolimus (TAC) Cl/F/W in renal transplant recipients. METHODS For a cohort of 147 patients, 8 h area under the curve (AUC) values for TAC and oral MDZ were calculated besides measurement of 4β-OHC/C. A subgroup of 70 patients additionally underwent intravenous erythromycin breath test (EBT) and were administered the intravenous MDZ probe. All patients were genotyped for common polymorphisms in CYP3A4, CYP3A5 and P450 oxidoreductase, among others. RESULTS MDZ Cl/F/W, 4β-OHC/C/W, EBT and TAC Cl/F/W were all moderately correlated (r = 0.262-0.505). Neither MDZ Cl/F/W nor 4β-OHC/C/W explained variability in TAC Cl/F/W in CYP3A5 expressors (n = 29). For CYP3A5 non-expressors (n = 118), factors explaining variability in TAC Cl/F/W in a MDZ-based model were MDZ Cl/F/W (R2 = 0.201), haematocrit (R2 = 0.139), TAC formulation (R2 = 0.107) and age (R2 = 0.032; total R2 = 0.479). In the 4β-OHC/C/W-based model, predictors were 4β-OHC/C/W (R2 = 0.196), haematocrit (R2 = 0.059) and age (R2 = 0.057; total R2 = 0.312). When genotype information was ignored, predictors of TAC Cl/F/W in the whole cohort were 4β-OHC/C/W (R2 = 0.167), MDZ Cl/F/W (R2 = 0.045); Tac QD formulation (R2 = 0.036), and haematocrit (R2 = 0.032; total R2 = 0.315). 4β-OHC/C/W, but not MDZ Cl/F/W, was higher in CYP3A5 expressors because it was higher in CYP3A4*1b carriers, which were almost all CYP3A5 expressors. CONCLUSIONS A MDZ-based model explained more variability in TAC clearance in CYP3A5 non-expressors. However, 4β-OHC/C/W was superior in a model in which no genotype information was available, likely because 4β-OHC/C/W was influenced by the CYP3A4*1b polymorphism.

Effect of ABCB1 diplotype on tacrolimus disposition in renal recipients depends on CYP3A5 and CYP3A4 genotype. THE PHARMACOGENOMICS JOURNAL 2016; 17:556-562.

Abstract
The relevance of most genetic polymorphisms beyond CYP3A5*1 on tacrolimus disposition remains unclear. We constructed a predictive mixed model for tacrolimus dose-corrected trough concentration (C0/dose) at months 3, 12 and 24 after transplantation in a retrospective cohort of 766 predominantly Causasian adult renal recipients (n=2042 trough concentrations). All patients were genotyped for 32 single-nucleotide polymorphisms with a proven or possible relevance to tacrolimus disposition based on the previous studies. Of these, ABCB1, ABCC2, OATP1B1, COMT, FMO, PPARA and APOA5 were analyzed as (functional) diplotype groups. Predictors of C0/dose were CYP3A5*1, hematocrit, age, CYP3A4*22, use of concomitant CYP3A4 inhibitor or inducer, ALT, estimated glomerular filtration rate, tacrolimus formulation (once vs twice daily), ABCB1 diplotype and time after transplantation. The effect of ABCB1 diplotype was small but strongly accentuated in CYP3A4*22 carriers and non-existent in CYP3A5 expressors. ABCC2 diplotype had a limited effect on C0/dose that was only statistically significant in CYP3A5 non-expressors.

Abstract
With increasing success in overcoming the immunological and infectious challenges accompanying solid organ transplantation, susceptibility to post-transplant diabetes and cardiovascular disease has assumed increasing importance. Although some guidance is available from diabetes-related literature pertaining to the general population, some aspects are unique to solid organ allograft recipients. Both insulin resistance and β-cell dysfunction are generally agreed to contribute to development and manifestation of post-transplant diabetes, but controversy continues about which is most important and to what extent post-transplant diabetes is a distinct entity or simply a variant of type 2 diabetes with transplant-specific components. The optimum method and timing for detection and diagnosis of post-transplant diabetes remains an area of uncertainty. However, the greatest needs are to: address the absence of contemporary data for incidence and clinical outcomes associated with post-transplant diabetes; establish the role of glycaemic control; and assess the role of new diabetic therapies in prevention and management of post-transplant diabetes. We place the present knowledge base in the context of other advances in transplantation, challenge some existing ideas, and examine the potential role of emerging diabetes therapies. In highlighting existing deficiencies, we hope to provide direction for future research that will ultimately reduce incidence and improve management of post-transplant diabetes.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to determine the impacts of CYP3A5 polymorphism on tacrolimus concentration and the proportion of patients within a target therapeutic range during the first week after transplantation together with the 3-month acute rejection rate in kidney transplant patients receiving a minimized tacrolimus regimen. METHODS A total of 164 patients participated in the study. All received oral tacrolimus twice daily starting on the day of surgery with the target pre-dose (trough) concentration of 4-8 ng/ml for prevention of allograft rejection. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A5 genotypes were determined. The patients were divided into CYP3A5 expressers (CYP3A5*1 allele carriers) and CYP3A5 nonexpressers (homozygous CYP3A5*3). Whole blood tacrolimus concentrations on days 3 and 7 posttransplantation and the incidence of biopsy-proven acute rejection (BPAR) at 3-month posttransplantation were compared between groups. RESULTS On day 3, the median (IQR) dose-and-weight-normalized trough concentration in expressers and nonexpressers were 54.61 (31.98, 78.87) and 91.80 (57.60, 130.20) ng/ml per mg/kg/day, respectively (p < 0.001). Although only 47 and 42% of expressers and nonexpressers were within the target range on day 3, approximately 60% of both groups were within the target range on day 7. Proportions of BPAR among expressers and nonexpressers were 6.0 and 7.4 %, respectively (p = 0.723). The median (IQR) times to the first rejection in CYP3A5 expressers and nonexpressers were 32 (12, 68) and 15 (12, 37) days, respectively (p = 0.410). CONCLUSIONS Although CYP3A5 polymorphism significantly influenced the tacrolimus dose required to achieve the target concentration, the impact of CYP3A5 polymorphism on BPAR was not observed in this study.

Abstract
AIM OF WORK To assess the impact of Cytochrome P450 3A5 (CYP3A5) and multidrug resistance-1 gene (MDR-1) single nucleotide polymorphisms on the dose and blood level of tacrolimus among liver transplanted patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS We enrolled a prospective study of 41 liver transplanted patients. Dose-adjusted trough blood concentration (C/D ratio) was calculated. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism followed by sequencing was done for genotyping of CYP3A5*3 (6986A > G). RESULTS At 1 week, 1 and 3 months C/D ratio were significantly lower in CYP3A5 expressers *1/*1 patients compared to non-expressers *3/*3. CONCLUSION CYP3A5 (6986A > G) genotype, rather than MDR-1 (2677G > A/T) variant, has an impact on tacrolimus pharmacokinetics.

Abstract
Renal transplantation has transformed the life of patients with end-stage renal disease and other chronic kidney disorders by returning endogenous kidney function and enabling patients to cease dialysis. Several clinical indicators of graft outcome and long-term function have been established. Although rising creatinine levels and graft biopsy can be used to determine graft loss, identifying early predictors of graft function will not only improve our ability to predict long-term graft outcome but importantly provide a window of opportunity to therapeutically intervene to preserve graft function before graft failure has occurred. Since understanding the importance of matching genetic variation at the HLA region between donors and recipients and translating this into clinical practise to improve transplant outcome, much focus has been placed on trying to identify additional genetic predictors of transplant outcome/function. This review will focus on how candidate gene studies have identified variants within immunosuppression, immune response, fibrotic pathways, and specific ethnic groups, which correlate with graft outcome. We will also discuss the challenges faced by candidate gene studies, such as differences in donor and recipient selection criteria and use of small data sets, which have led to many genes failing to be consistently associated with transplant outcome. This review will also look at how recent advances in our understanding of and ability to screen the genome are starting to provide new insights into the mechanisms behind long-term graft loss and with it the opportunity to target these pathways therapeutically to ultimately increase graft lifespan and the associated benefits to patients.

A Simple Novel Technique to Estimate Tacrolimus Dosages During the Early Post Kidney Transplantation Period. Transplant Proc 2015; 47:2433-8.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tacrolimus pharmacokinetics prediction by CYP3A5 genotyping is not available in many Asian resource-limited settings. Therefore, an alternative technique is needed to estimate the dose of tacrolimus perioperatively. The 12-hour level after the first dose (C12-0) is an alternative technique for estimating the dose of tacrolimus. This simple and inexpensive calculation technique can be used by any transplantation center. METHODS A prospective study on a cohort of 57 incident post-kidney transplant recipients was conducted. The whole-blood tacrolimus trough level (C12-0) was measured at 12 hours after the first dose (0.1 mg/kg) of orally administered tacrolimus during transplantation. Concomitant medications with CYP3A5 inhibitors/inducers were not allowed. Genotyping for CYP3A5 expression was carried out by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. The dosages and trough levels of tacrolimus at postoperative day 7 and postoperative months 1 to 3 were measured and analyzed for the dose requirements for therapeutic levels (mg/kg/d). RESULTS The doses of tacrolimus were widely diverse, ranging from 0.049 to 0.260 mg/kg/d and 0.031 to 0.298 mg/kg/d at day 7 and months 1 to 3, respectively. There were 9, 28, and 20 patients (15.8%, 49.1%, and 35.1%) with CYP3A5 *1/*1, *1/*3, and *3/*3, respectively. The CYP3A5 genotypes were significantly correlated with the target tacrolimus dose at day 7 (r(2) = 0.307) and the stable dose at months 1 to 3 (r(2) = 0.337). The C12-0 level also was significantly correlated with the dose of tacrolimus at day 7 (r(2) = 0.546) and the stable dose at months 1 to 3 (r(2) = 0.406). CONCLUSIONS There were strong correlations between the C12-0 level and the tacrolimus doses during the perioperative period at day 7 and the stable period at 1 to 3 months. Countries with limited resources for genotype testing can use the C12-0 level as an alternative to estimate the tacrolimus dose.

Abstract
Background The primary goal of this study was to evaluate the influence of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A5 (6986A>G) and ABCB1 (3435C>T) polymorphisms on tacrolimus (TAC) dosage regimen and exposure. Second, we evaluated the influence of TAC dosage regimen and the tested polymorphisms on renal oxidative injury, as well as the urinary activities of tubular ectoenzymes in a long-term period after transplantation. Also, we aimed to determine the association between renal oxidative stress and tubular damage markers in the renal transplant patients. Methods The study included 72 patients who were on TAC based immunosuppression. Allele-specific PCR was used for polymorphism determination. We measured the urinary thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and reactive carbonyl derivates (RCD) in order to evaluate oxidative injury, as well as the urinary activities of ectoenzymes (N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase, aminopeptidase N and dipeptidyl peptidase IV) to evaluate tubular damage. Results The carriers of CYP 3A5*1 allele required statistically higher daily doses of TAC than CYP *3/*3 carriers, as well as the carriers of C allele of ABCB1 gene compared to those with TT genotype. Also, there were no differences in TBARS, RCD and the activities of ectoenzymes between the patients’ genotypes. Our results showed significant correlations between urinary TBARS and RCD and the ectoenzymes’ activities. Conclusions Our findings suggest that CYP 3A5 and ABCB1 3435 polymorphism may affect TAC daily doses, but not the drug’s tubular toxicity. Furthermore, tubular damage may be associated with increased renal oxidative stress.

Abstract
Extrarenal adverse effects (AEs) associated with calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) and mycophenolic acid (MPA) occur frequently but are unpredictable posttransplant complications. AEs may result from intracellular CNI accumulation and low activity of P-glycoprotein, encoded by the ABCB1 gene. Since ABCB1 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and sex influence P-glycoprotein, we investigated haplotypes and extrarenal AEs. A prospective, cross-sectional study evaluated 149 patients receiving tacrolimus and enteric coated mycophenolate sodium or cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil. Immunosuppressive AE assessment determined individual and composite gastrointestinal, neurologic, aesthetic, and cumulative AEs. Lipids were quantitated after 12-hour fast. ABCB1 SNPs: c.1236C>T (rs1128503), c.2677G>T/A (rs2032582), and c.3435C>T (rs1045642) were determined with haplotype associations computed using the THESIAS program, and evaluated by immunosuppression, sex and race using multivariate general linear models. Tacrolimus patients exhibited more frequent and higher gastrointestinal AE scores compared with cyclosporine with association to CTT (P = 0.018) and sex (P = 0.01). Aesthetic AE score was 3 times greater for cyclosporine with TTC haplotype (P = 0.005). Females had higher gastrointestinal (P = 0.022), aesthetic (P < 0.001), neurologic (P = 0.022), and cumulative AE ratios (P < 0.001). Total cholesterol (TCHOL), low-density lipoproteins (LDL), and triglycerides were higher with cyclosporine. The TTC haplotype had higher TCHOL (P < 0.001) and LDL (P = 0.005). Higher triglyceride (P = 0.034) and lower high-density lipoproteins (P = 0.057) were associated with TTT with sex-adjusted analysis. ABCB1 haplotypes and sex were associated with extrarenal AEs. Using haplotypes, certain female patients manifested more AEs regardless of CNI. Haplotype testing may identify patients with greater susceptibility to AEs and facilitate CNI individualization.

Abstract
Lung transplant patients present important variability in immunosuppressant blood concentrations during the first months after transplantation. Pharmacogenetics could explain part of this interindividual variability. We evaluated SNPs in genes that have previously shown correlations in other kinds of solid organ transplantation, namely ABCB1 and CYP3A5 genes with tacrolimus (Tac) and ABCC2, UGT1A9 and SLCO1B1 genes with mycophenolic acid (MPA), during the first six months after lung transplantation (51 patients). The genotype was correlated to the trough blood drug concentrations corrected for dose and body weight (C0/Dc). The ABCB1 variant in rs1045642 was associated with significantly higher Tac concentration, at six months post-transplantation (CT vs. CC). In the MPA analysis, CT patients in ABCC2 rs3740066 presented significantly lower blood concentrations than CC or TT, three months after transplantation. Other tendencies, confirming previously expected results, were found associated with the rest of studied SNPs. An interesting trend was recorded for the incidence of acute rejection according to NOD2/CARD15 rs2066844 (CT: 27.9%; CC: 12.5%). Relevant SNPs related to Tac and MPA in other solid organ transplants also seem to be related to the efficacy and safety of treatment in the complex setting of lung transplantation.

Abstract
Background and Purpose Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) are arachidonic acid metabolites that play a protective role against damaging processes that may occur after re-oxygenation of the graft. We aimed to investigate whether the presence of functional polymorphisms in the gene encoding soluble epoxy hydrolase (EPHX2), which metabolizes EETs to less active compounds, may play a role in the outcome of renal transplantation. Methods In a group of 259 Caucasian renal transplant recipients and 183 deceased donors, we determined the presence of three common EPHX2 SNPs, namely rs41507953 (K55R), rs751141 (R287Q) and rs1042032 A/G. Associations with parameters of graft function and the incidence of acute rejection were retrospectively investigated throughout the first year after grafting by logistic regression adjusting for clinical and demographic variables. Results Carriers of the rs1042032 GG genotype displayed significantly lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (38.15 ± 15.57 vs. 45.99 ± 16.05; p = 0.04) and higher serum creatinine values (1.57 ± 0.58 vs. 1.30 ± 0.47 g/dL; p=0.02) one year after grafting, compared to patients carrying the wildtype A-allele. The same GG genotype was also associated to increased risk of acute rejection. Interestingly, this association was observed for the genotype of both recipients [OR =6.34 (1.35-29.90); p = 0.015] and donors [OR = 5.53 (1.10-27.80); p=0.042]. A statistical model including both genotypes along with other meaningful demographic and clinical variables resulted in an increased significance for the association with the recipients’ genotype [OR=8.28 (1.21-74.27); p=0.031]. Conclusions Our results suggest that genetic variability in the EETs-metabolizing gene, EPHX2, may have a significant impact on the outcome of deceased-donor renal transplantation.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of itraconazole (ITCZ), a potent inhibitor of CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein, on the blood concentration 12 h after tacrolimus administration (C 12h) in relation to CYP3A5 6986A>G and ABCB1 3435C>T genotype status in patients with connective tissue disease (CTD). METHODS Eighty-one CTD patients taking tacrolimus (Prograf®) once daily at night (2100 hours) were enrolled in this study. Whole blood samples were collected 12 h after tacrolimus administration at steady state. RESULTS The dose-adjusted tacrolimus C 12h with or without ITCZ co-administration was significantly higher in patients with CYP3A5*3/*3 than in those with the CYP3A5*1 allele [CYP3A5 *1/*1 vs. *1/*3 vs. *3/*3 = 1.67 vs. 2.70 vs. 4.83 ng/mL/mg (P = 0.003) and 0.68 vs. 0.97 vs. 2.20 ng/mL/mg (P < 0.001), respectively], but differences were not observed for ABCB1 genotypes. However, there was no difference in the increase rate of the dose-adjusted C 12h of tacrolimus between CYP3A5 or ABCB1 genotypes (P = 0.378 and 0.259). On the other hand, reduction of the estimated glomerular filtration rate exhibited a correlation with the C 12h of tacrolimus after ITCZ co-administration (r = -0.482, P = 0.009). CONCLUSIONS In CYP3A5*3/*3 patients, because the metabolic pathway for tacrolimus occurs only through CYP3A4, the combination with ITCZ seems to lead to a higher risk of acute renal dysfunction. Therefore, we suggest that the target blood tacrolimus concentration be set as low as possible through dose-adjustment for patients with the CYP3A5*3/*3 allele.

Abstract
The clinical use of tacrolimus (Tac) is complicated by the large inter-individual variability in its pharmacokinetics as well as by chronic adverse effects on renal function. The main goal of this study was to evaluate the potential influence of cytochrome P450 3A5 (CYP 3A5) and ATP-binding cassette transporter B1 (ABCB1) gene polymorphisms on Tac dose requirements and dose-adjusted concentrations in different long-term periods following renal transplantation. Another aim was to investigate whether these polymorphisms affect renal function in late post-transplant period. A total of 91 renal transplant recipients were enrolled for genotyping analysis, and 53 of these entered into a pharmacokinetic-pharmacogenetic study. Allele-specific polymerase chain reaction was used for CYP 3A5 and ABCB1 polymorphism determination. Pharmacokinetic data (dose, trough concentration and dose-adjusted concentration of Tac) and renal function parameters [creatinine (Cre) clearance and serum Cre level] were analyzed in relation to patient genotype at 6, 12 and 24 months after transplantation. Also, linear regression analysis was performed to evaluate the effect of CYP 3A5 and ABCB1 genotypes on Tac exposure and renal function up to 24 months post-transplant. Individuals carrying the CYP 3A5*1/*3 genotype had higher Tac dose requirements than CYP 3A5*3/*3 carriers at 6, 12 and 24 months after renal transplantation. The results revealed that ABCB1 polymorphism did not influence Tac dose requirements independently. Regression analysis showed that CYP 3A5 influenced the Tac dose-adjusted concentration as well as renal function up to 24 months post-transplant. These findings confirmed that CYP 3A5 polymorphism represents the most important determinant of Tac dose and exposure in the late period following renal transplantation. Furthermore, the obtained results indicate that the decline in renal function may be more pronounced in patients with CYP 3A5*1 in the long-term period after renal transplantation.

Abstract
AIM Determine the effect of the genetic variants beyond CYP3A5*3 on tacrolimus disposition. PATIENTS & METHODS We studied genetic correlates of tacrolimus trough concentrations with POR*28, CYP3A4*22 and ABCC2 haplotypes in a large, ethnically diverse kidney transplant cohort (n = 2008). RESULTS Subjects carrying one or more CYP3A5*1 alleles had lower tacrolimus trough concentrations (p = 9.2 × 10(-75)). The presence of one or two POR*28 alleles was associated with a 4.63% reduction in tacrolimus trough concentrations after adjusting for CYP3A5*1 and clinical factors (p = 0.037). In subset analyses, POR*28 was significant only in CYP3A5*3/*3 carriers (p = 0.03). The CYP3A4*22 variant and the ABBC2 haplotypes were not associated. CONCLUSION This study confirmed that CYP3A5*1 was associated with lower tacrolimus trough concentrations. POR*28 was associated with decreased tacrolimus trough concentrations although the effect was small possibly through enhanced CYP3A4 enzyme activity. CYP3A4*22 and ABCC2 haplotypes did not influence tacrolimus trough concentrations. Original submitted 19 December 2014; Revision submitted 2 April 2015.

Abstract
Aim: Studying the possible influence of SNPs on efficacy and safety of calcineurin inhibitors upon heart transplantation. Materials & methods: In 60 heart transplant patients treated with tacrolimus or cyclosporine, we studied a panel of 36 SNPs correlated with a series of clinical parameters during the first post-transplantation year. Results: The presence of serious infections was correlated to ABCB1 rs1128503 (p = 0.012), CC genotype reduced the probability of infections being also associated with lower blood cyclosporine concentrations. Lower renal function levels were found in patients with rs9282564 AG (p = 0.003), related to higher blood cyclosporine blood levels. A tendency toward increased graft rejection (p = 0.05) was correlated to rs2066844 CC in NOD2/CARD15, a gene related to lymphocyte activation. Conclusion: Pharmacogenetics can help identify patients at increased risk of clinical complications. Original submitted 30 January 2015; revision submitted 27 March 2015

Potential role of tacrolimus in erythrocytes' antioxidative capacity in long-term period after renal transplantation. Eur J Pharm Sci 2015; 70:132-9.

Abstract
The main goal of this study was to evaluate the influence of tacrolimus daily dose (TDD) as well as cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A5 6986A>G and ABCB1 3435C>T polymorphisms on the erythrocytes' oxidative stress parameters in long-term period after renal transplantation (Tx). Secondly, we investigated whether tacrolimus and/or oxidative injury might have affected renal function or it was independent from both. In order to evaluate erythrocytes' oxidative stress status in 72 renal transplant recipients and 62 healthy volunteers, we measured the levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and reduced glutathione (GSH) and the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPX) and glutathione reductase (GR) as well. Also, we performed allele-specific PCR to determine CYP 3A5 and ABCB1 polymorphisms. Erythrocytes' TBARS positively correlated with SOD, GPX and negatively with GFR. Tested polymorphisms affected TDD, but not oxidative stress parameters. TDD positively correlated with GSH and negatively with GFR. Additionally, tacrolimus dose-adjusted trough concentrations positively correlated with GFR and negatively with GPX and GSH. Furthermore, regression analysis showed that TBARS and TDD independently and negatively affected GFR in long term period after Tx. Our findings suggest that tacrolimus may increase erythrocytes' antioxidative capacity. Regardless, it may be involved in renal function decline in a long-term period after Tx, which seems to be independent from oxidative stress mediated reduction in renal function.

Abstract
Aim: The activity of several key enzymes involved in the metabolism of many drugs is subject to change closely related to the age of patients. This possibility must also be considered in the case of tacrolimus, the most important calcineurins inhibitor, which is widely used in pediatric kidney transplantation. As well as in the liver and intestine, some of the enzymes involved in the metabolism of tacrolimus were also isolated in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), where also appear to play an important regulatory action. Therefore, the influence of some external factors on the expression of specific mRNA can be determined noninvasively. Patients & methods: The correlation between the levels of mRNA specific for key enzymes SXR, CYP3A and ABCB1 involved in the metabolism of tacrolimus was evaluated in PBMCs obtained from a selected population of 29 young kidney transplant recipients. A possible correlation between the expression of these specific mRNAs and tacrolimus pharmacokinetics was also investigated. Results: The patients’ age and their blood concentrations of SXR mRNA were directly correlated with the expression of CYP3A4, CYP3A5 mRNAs, but not of ABCB1 mRNA in the PBMCs. tacrolimus-normalized daily dose was strongly correlated with patient's age and multivariable regression indicates the CYP3A4-specific mRNA as the sole independent variable influencing tacrolimus concentration-to-dose ratio. Conclusion: Aging and SXR mRNA significantly affect the expression of CYP3A4- and CYP3A5-specific mRNA as measured by their concentration in PBMC.

Kidney transplant recipients carrying the CYP3A4*22 allelic variant have reduced tacrolimus clearance and often reach supratherapeutic tacrolimus concentrations. Am J Transplant 2015; 15:800-5.

Abstract
CYP3A4*22 is an allelic variant of the cytochrome P450 3A4 associated with a decreased activity. Carriers of this polymorphism may require reduced tacrolimus (Tac) doses to reach the target residual concentrations (Co). We tested this hypothesis in a population of kidney transplant recipients extracted from a multicenter, prospective and randomized study. Among the 186 kidney transplant recipients included, 9.3% (18 patients) were heterozygous for the CYP3A4*22 genotype and none were homozygous (allele frequency of 4.8%). Ten days after transplantation (3 days after starting treatment with Tac), 11% of the CYP3A4*22 carriers were within the target range of Tac Co (10-15 ng/mL), whereas among the CYP3A4*1/*1 carriers, 40% were within the target range (p = 0.02, OR = 0.19 [0.03; 0.69]). The mean Tac Co at day 10 in the CYP3A4*1/*22 group was 23.5 ng/mL (16.6-30.9) compared with 15.1 ng/mL (14-16.3) in the CYP3A4*1/*1 group, p < 0.001. The Tac Co/dose significantly depended on the CYP3A4 genotype during the follow-up (random effects model, p < 0.001) with the corresponding equivalent dose for patients heterozygous for CYP3A4*22 being 0.67 [0.54; 0.84] times the dose for CYP3A4*1/*1 carriers. In conclusion, the CYP3A4*22 allelic variant is associated with a significantly altered Tac metabolism and carriers of this polymorphism often reach supratherapeutic concentrations.

Abstract
Pharmacogenetics has generated many expectations for its potential to individualize therapy proactively and improve medical care. However, despite the huge amount of reported genetic associations with either pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics of drugs, the translation into patient care is still slow. In fact, strong evidence for a substantial clinical benefit of pharmacogenetic testing is still limited, with a few exceptions. In kidney transplantation, established pharmacogenetic discoveries are being investigated for application in the clinic to improve efficacy and to limit toxicity associated with the use of immunosuppressive drugs, especially the frequently used calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) tacrolimus and ciclosporin. The purpose of the present review is to picture the current status of CNI pharmacogenetics and to discuss the most promising leads that have been followed so far.

Abstract
Over 35 years of use has demonstrated the revolutionary therapeutic benefits of calcineurin inhibitors (CNI) in not only preventing transplant rejection, but also the renal and nonrenal toxicity of CNI. Acute reversible and insidious irreversible forms of CNI nephrotoxicity have been identified, with ischemia from an imbalance between vasoconstrictors and vasodilators playing an important role. The ongoing search to define toxicity pathways has been enriched by ‘Omics’ studies. Changes in proteins including those involved in activation of pro-inflammatory responses, oxidative stress, ER stress and the unfolded protein response have been identified, and these may serve as biomarkers of toxicity. However, the current standard of CNI toxicity, histology, lacks specificity, which creates challenges for biomarker validation. This review focuses on progress in nephrotoxic pathway identification of CNI and biomarker validation.

Abstract
Tacrolimus (TAC) is the backbone of an immunosuppressive drug used in most solid organ transplant recipients. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at position 6986G>A in CYP3A5 has been notably involved in the pharmacokinetic variability of TAC. It is hypothesized that CYP3A5 genotyping in patients may provide a guideline for TAC therapeutic regimen. To further evaluate the impact of CYP3A5 variants in donors and recipients, ABCB1 and ACE SNPs in recipients on TAC disposition, clinical and laboratory data were retrospectively reviewed from 90 pediatric patients with liver transplantation and their corresponding donors after 1 year of transplantation. The recipients with CYP3A5 *1/*1 or *1/*3 required more time to achieve TAC therapeutic range during the induction phase, and needed more upward dose during the late induction and the maintained phases, with lower C/D ratio, compared with those with CYP3A5 *3/*3. And donor CYP3A5 genotypes were found to impact on TAC trough concentrations after liver transplantation. No association between ABCB1 or ACE genotypes and TAC disposition post-transplantation was found. These results strongly suggest that CYP3A5 genotyping both in recipient and donor, not ABCB1 or ACE is necessary for establishing a personalized TAC dosage regimen in pediatric liver transplant patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The P450 oxidoreductase (POR)*28 variant allele has been associated with altered cytochrome P450 3A enzyme activities. Both CYP3A5 and CYP3A4 are involved in the metabolism of calcineurin inhibitors and recent data show that POR*28 may explain part of the variability observed in tacrolimus (Tac) pharmacokinetics. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of the POR*28 allele on Tac and cyclosporine A (CsA) immunosuppressive therapies. METHODS Kidney transplant recipients receiving either Tac (n = 184) or CsA (n = 174), participating in a prospective multicenter trial, were genotyped for POR*28, CYP3A4*22, and CYP3A5*3. RESULTS CYP3A5 expressers that were carriers of at least 1 POR*28 allele had a 16.9% decrease in dose-adjusted predose concentrations when compared CYP3A5 expressers that carried the POR*1/*1 genotype (P = 0.03), indicating an increased CYP3A5 activity for POR*28 carriers. In CYP3A5, nonexpressers carrying 2 POR*28 alleles, a 24.1% (confidence interval95% = -39.4% to -4.9%; P = 0.02) decrease in dose-adjusted predose concentrations was observed for Tac, suggesting higher CYP3A4 activity. For CsA, POR*28/*28 patients not expressing CYP3A5 and not carrying the CYP3A4*22 decrease-of-function allele showed 15% lower CsA dose-adjusted predose concentrations (P = 0.01), indicating also increased CYP3A4 activity. In both cohorts (ie, Tac and CsA), the POR*28 allele was neither associated with the incidence of delayed graft function nor with biopsy-proven acute rejection. These results were further confirmed in 2 independent cohorts. CONCLUSIONS Our results show that the POR*28 allele is associated with increased in vivo CYP3A5 activity for Tac in CYP3A5 expressers, whereas POR*28 homozygosity was associated with a significant higher CYP3A4 activity in CYP3A5 nonexpressers for both Tac and CsA.

Abstract
Hypertension is a common side effect of calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs), which are drugs used to prevent rejection after transplantation. Hypertension after kidney transplantation has been associated with earlier graft failure and higher cardiovascular mortality in the recipient. Recent data indicate that enzymes and transporters involved in CNI pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, including CYP3A5, ABCB1, WNK4 and SPAK, are also associated with salt-sensitive hypertension. These insights raise the question whether polymorphisms in the genes encoding these proteins increase the risk of CNI-induced hypertension. Predicting who is at risk for CNI-induced hypertension may be useful for when selecting specific interventions, including dietary salt restriction, thiazide diuretics or a CNI-free immunosuppressive regimen. This review aims to explore the pharmacogenetics of CNI-induced hypertension, highlighting the knowns and unknowns.

Alloway RR, Eckhoff DE, Washburn WK, Teperman LW. Conversion from twice daily tacrolimus capsules to once daily extended-release tacrolimus (LCP-Tacro): phase 2 trial of stable liver transplant recipients. Liver Transpl 2014; 20:564-75. [PMID: 24493215 DOI: 10.1002/lt.23844] [Citation(s) in RCA: 45] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2013] [Accepted: 01/21/2014] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
LCP-Tacro is an extended-release formulation of tacrolimus designed for once-daily dosing. Studies in renal transplantation demonstrate greater bioavailability with similar safety and efficacy vs. twice-daily tacrolimus capsules. In this phase 2 study, adult stable liver transplant patients on tacrolimus capsules (Prograf) twice-daily were converted to tacrolimus tablets (LCP-Tacro) once-daily; patients continued on LCP-Tacro once-daily for days 8-21; target trough levels were 5-15 ng/mL; 24-hour pharmacokinetic (PK) assessments were done on days 7 (baseline pre-switch), 14, and 21. A 6 month extension study phase evaluated PK and safety following a total of 52 weeks of LCP-Tacro. Fifty-seven patients completed LCP-Tacro dosing in the core study; 43 completed the extension phase. The mean conversion ratio was 0.71 (Prograf:LCP-Tacro). PK data demonstrated consistent exposure (AUC) at the lower conversion dose. Cmax , Cmax /Cmin ratio, percent fluctuation and swing were significantly (P<0.001) lower and Tmax significantly (P<0.001) longer for LCP-Tacro vs. Prograf. AUC24 and Cmin correlation coefficients after 7 and 14 days of therapy were ≥0.93. There were no significant differences in PK parameters at week 26 vs. 14. One patient experienced an unrelated serious adverse event (SAE) during the core study and discontinued. There were six unrelated SAEs in the extension and 1 possibly related (rejection) that resolved; there were 3 discontinuations due to AEs during the extension. In this study, patients were safely converted from Prograf twice-daily to LCP-Tacro. The greater bioavailability of LCP-Tacro allowed for once-daily dosing and similar (AUC) exposure at a dose approximately 30% less than the total daily dose of Prograf. LCP-Tacro displayed significantly lower peak and peak-trough fluctuations. LCP-Tacro administered over one year was well tolerated with no new safety concerns.

Evaluation of molecular profiles in calcineurin inhibitor toxicity post-kidney transplant: input to chronic allograft dysfunction. Am J Transplant 2014; 14:1152-1163. [PMID: 24698514 PMCID: PMC4377109 DOI: 10.1111/ajt.12696] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2013] [Revised: 01/21/2014] [Accepted: 01/28/2014] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
The molecular basis of calcineurin inhibitor toxicity (CNIT) in kidney transplantation (KT) and its contribution to chronic allograft dysfunction (CAD) with interstitial fibrosis (IF) and tubular atrophy (TA) were evaluated by: (1) identifying specific CNIT molecular pathways that associate with allograft injury (cross-sectional study) and (2) assessing the contribution of the identified CNIT signature in the progression to CAD with IF/TA (longitudinal study). Kidney biopsies from well-selected transplant recipients with histological diagnosis of CNIT (n = 14), acute rejection (n = 13) and CAD with IF/TA (n = 10) were evaluated. Normal allografts (n = 18) were used as controls. To test CNIT contribution to CAD progression, an independent set of biopsies (n = 122) from 61 KT patients collected at 3 and ~12 months post-KT (range = 9-18) were evaluated. Patients were classified based on 2-year post-KT graft function and histological findings as progressors (n = 30) or nonprogressors to CAD (n = 31). Molecular signatures characterizing CNIT samples were identified. Patients classified as progressors showed an overlap of 7% and 22% with the CNIT signature at 3 and at ~12 months post-KT, respectively, while the overlap was <1% and 1% in nonprogressor patients, showing CNIT at the molecular level as a nonimmunological factor involved in the progression to CAD.
