Abstract
Lopinavir and ritonavir are substrates of permeability glycoprotein encoded by ABCB1. The efficacy and safety of these drugs is unknown in COVID-19 patients affected by ABCB1 genetic variability. Patients carrying one or two copies of the ABCB1 C3435T were predictively considered as risk phenotypes. It was predicted that risk phenotypes due to carrying either one or two copies of ABCB1 C3435T were highly prevalent in Europe (76.8%; 95% CI: 75-78), followed by America (67%; 95% CI: 65-69), Asia (63.5%; 95% CI: 62-65) and Africa (41.4%; 95% CI: 37-46), respectively. It is hypothesized that a considerable proportion of COVID-19 patients treated with lopinavir/ritonavir inheriting ABCB1 C3435T genetic polymorphism may be predisposed to either therapeutic failure or toxicity.

MDR1 gene polymorphisms are associated with ulcerative colitis in a cohort of Serbian patients with inflammatory bowel disease. PLoS One 2018; 13:e0194536. [PMID: 29543864 PMCID: PMC5854418 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0194536] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2017] [Accepted: 03/05/2018] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic disease of unknown etiology in which genetic factors contribute to development of disease. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in multidrug resistance 1 (MDR1) gene encoding transporter P-glycoprotein have been associated with IBD, but their role in disease susceptibility remains unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the association of three MDR1 polymorphisms, C1236T (rs1128503), G2677T/A (rs2032582) and C3435T (rs1045642), with Serbian IBD patients. Methods A total of 206 IBD patients, 107 Crohn's disease (CD) and 99 ulcerative colitis (UC), and 255 healthy controls were included in the study. All subjects were genotyped using TaqMan SNP genotyping assays. Comparisons between the groups were performed using the Pearson Chi-square test. False discovery rate according to Benjamini-Hochberg procedure was applied to adjust for multiple comparisons. Results Carriers of T allele of all three MDR1 SNPs were more common in UC patients compared to healthy controls, suggesting predisposing role of T allele of these SNPs in UC pathogenesis. Consistently, TT genotype of C1236T and TTT haplotype were also found more frequently in UC patients. On the other hand, C allele and CC genotype of C1236T and C3435T, as well as G allele and GG genotype of G2677T/A were more frequent in healthy subjects, implying protective role of these variants in UC. Likewise, CGC haplotype and CGC/CGC diplotype were more frequent in controls. Contrary to UC, no statistical difference was observed between CD patients and controls in any of the SNPs analyzed. Conclusion MDR1 gene variants and haplotypes were associated with UC in Serbian IBD patients, further supporting their potential role in susceptibility to UC.

Abstract
Recently, proteomics studies have provided important information on the role of proteins in health and disease. In the domain of inflammatory bowel disease, proteomics has shed important light on the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of inflammation and has contributed to the discovery of some putative clinical biomarkers of disease activity. By being able to obtain a large number of specimens from multiple sites and control for confounding environmental, genetic, and metabolic factors, proteomics studies using animal models of colitis offered an alternative approach to human studies. Our aim is to review the information and lessons acquired so far from the use of proteomics in animal models of colitis. These studies helped understand the importance of different proteins at different stages of the disease and unraveled the different pathways that are activated or inhibited during the inflammatory process. Expressed proteins related to inflammation, cellular structure, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and energy depletion advanced the knowledge about the reaction of intestinal cells to inflammation and repair. The role of mesenteric lymphocytes, exosomes, and the intestinal mucosal barrier was emphasized in the inflammatory process. In addition, studies in animal models revealed mechanisms of the beneficial effects of some therapeutic interventions and foods or food components on intestinal inflammation by monitoring changes in protein expression and paved the way for some new possible inflammatory pathways to target in the future. Advances in proteomics technology will further clarify the interaction between intestinal microbiota and IBD pathogenesis and investigate the gene-environmental axis of IBD etiology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The multi-drug resistance gene (MDR1) has raised increasing interest as a susceptibility gene for Crohn's disease (CD). The role of MDR1 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the predisposition and behavior of CD in the pediatric population is still elusive. Here, we investigated whether SNPs in MDR1 are associated with CD in Algerian pediatric patients. METHODS A case-control study was conducted enrolling 47 pediatric CD patients and 100 controls. All subjects were genotyped for the most common MDR1 SNPs (C3434T, C1236T, and G2677A/T) using PCR-RFLP method. We also explored the association between polymorphisms and clinical sub-phenotypes. RESULTS We have detected no significant association of C3435T SNP and pediatric CD. However, we observed a significantly higher frequency of the risk alleles, 1236T and 2677T/A among the CD patients compared to controls. Moreover, the risk allele 1236T was associated to a higher risk for resective surgery. CONCLUSION Our data suggest that the C1236T and G2677A/T SNPs in the MDR1 gene are associated with CD and the C1236T risk allele with a more severe course of disease in Algerian pediatric patients. Further analysis using larger patients group and functional studies would be interesting to elucidate the role of MDR1 gene in pediatric CD.Pediatric Research (2016); doi:10.1038/pr.2016.163.

Abstract
Crohn's disease (CD) represents a heterogeneous group of chronic inflammatory disorders with various phenotypes. Establishing a definite diagnosis of CD should be based upon a combined assessment of clinical, endoscopic, radiological and pathological features. Although segmental disease distribution, transmural inflammation and non-caseating epithelioid granulomas have been considered as a 'hallmarks' for CD, clear diagnosis of CD in some patients has been challenging, due to overlapping endoscopic, radiographic and histologic features with other inflammatory bowel disease-like conditions. Laboratory markers (serological and genetic tests) may provide additional clues for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of CD. This review focuses on the application of the currently available serological and genomic markers and in diagnosis and differential diagnosis of CD.

Abstract
Potential drug-drug interactions mediated by the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter and solute carrier (SLC) transporter families are of clinical and regulatory concern. However, the endogenous functions of these drug transporters are not well understood. Discussed here is evidence for the roles of ABC and SLC transporters in the handling of diverse substrates, including metabolites, antioxidants, signalling molecules, hormones, nutrients and neurotransmitters. It is suggested that these transporters may be part of a larger system of remote communication ('remote sensing and signalling') between cells, organs, body fluid compartments and perhaps even separate organisms. This broader view may help to clarify disease mechanisms, drug-metabolite interactions and drug effects relevant to diabetes, chronic kidney disease, metabolic syndrome, hypertension, gout, liver disease, neuropsychiatric disorders, inflammatory syndromes and organ injury, as well as prenatal and postnatal development.

Abstract
The association between ABCB1/MDR1 C3435T polymorphism and colorectal cancer has been evaluated. However, the results of these studies on the association remain inconsistent. To derive a more precise estimation of the relationship, a meta-analysis was performed. A comprehensive search was conducted to identify the eligible studies of ABCB1/MDR1 C3435T polymorphism and colorectal cancer risk. Summary odds ratios (OR) and 95 % confidence interval (CI) for ABCB1/MDR1 C3435T polymorphism and colorectal cancer were calculated. Statistical analysis was performed with the Stata (Version 12.0). Thirteen case-control studies, a total of 11,339 persons including 5,485 cases and 5,854 controls, met the included criteria and thus were selected. Collectively, the results of the present study suggest that there were no significant associations of ABCB1/MDR1 C3435T polymorphism with colorectal cancer observed for all comparison models. In the subgroup analysis, the same results were detected for both Caucasian and Asian populations. The results of this meta-analysis suggest that ABCB1/MDR1 C3435T polymorphism might be not related to colorectal cancer susceptibility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a complex disease with a genetic background. Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are the two main types of IBD. There is indication that variants in the MDR1 gene are associated with development of IBD. However, the 20 published genetic association studies (GAS) for the three most popular variants in the MDR1 gene (C3435T, G2677T/A, and C1236T) have produced inclusive results. METHODS In order to decrease the uncertainty of pooled risk effects and to explore the trend and stability of the risk effects, a meticulous meta-analysis, including cumulative and recursive cumulative meta-analysis, of the GAS related to the MDR1 gene with susceptibility to IBD was conducted. The risk effects were estimated based on the odds ratio (OR) of the allele contrast and the generalized odds ratio (OR(G) ). RESULTS The analysis showed marginal significant association for the C3435T variant in UC: the risk estimate for the allele contrast was OR = 1.11 (1.00-1.22) and OR(G) = 1.12 (1.01-1.27), indicating that a subject with high mutational load has a 12% higher probability of being diseased. The respective cumulative meta-analysis indicated a downward trend of association, as evidence accumulates with the association being significant during the whole published period. The cumulative meta-analysis for the other variants showed lack of any trend of association. However, the recursive cumulative meta-analysis showed that there is no sufficient evidence for denying or claiming an association for all variants. CONCLUSIONS More evidence is needed to draw safe conclusions regarding the association of MDR1 variants and development of IBD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND P-glycoprotein, the product of the MDR1 gene, is a transmembrane active efflux pump for a variety of environmental toxins and xenobiotics. Epidemiological studies have evaluated the association between MDR1 C3435T polymorphism and cancer susceptibility. However, published data are still inconclusive. METHODS To derive a more precise assessment of this relevance, we performed a meta-analysis, up to September 2010, of 5,196 cases with different cancer types and 6,827 controls from 34 published case-control studies. Summary odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for MDR1 C3435T polymorphism and cancer were estimated using fixed- and random-effects models when appropriate. RESULTS The overall results suggested that the variant was associated with a moderately increased cancer risk in all comparison models tested (OR = 1.26, 95% CI: 1.06-1.50 for TT vs. CC; OR = 1.19, 95% CI: 1.04-1.37 for CT vs. CC; OR = 1.15, 95% CI: 1.01-1.32 for recessive model; OR = 1.21, 95% CI: 1.06-1.38 for domain model, and OR = 1.14, 95% CI: 1.04-1.26 for allele contrast). In the subgroup analysis by cancer types, significant associations were found in breast cancer (OR = 1.66, 95% CI: 1.24-2.21 for TT vs. CC; OR = 1.44, 95% CI: 1.14-1.82 for recessive model; OR = 1.41, 95% CI: 1.10-1.81 for domain model; and OR = 1.31, 95% CI: 1.13-1.52 for allele contrast) and renal cancer (OR = 1.99, 95% CI: 1.37-2.90 for TT vs. CC; OR = 1.74, 95% CI: 1.25-2.42 for domain model; OR = 1.43, 95% CI: 1.09-1.88 for recessive model; and OR = 1.40, 95% CI: 1.17-1.68 for allele contrast). However, no significant associations were found in colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, and acute lymphoblastic leukemia for all genetic models. In the ethnicity subgroup analysis, a significant association with cancer among Caucasians was found under the dominant model, homozygote comparison, CT versus CC comparison, and allele comparison. CONCLUSIONS In summary, this meta-analysis suggests that the MDR1 C3435T polymorphism is associated with cancer susceptibility, increasing the risk of breast and renal cancer.

Abstract
Molecular variants of polymorphic drug metabolizing enzymes and drug transporters are attributed to differences in individual's therapeutic response and drug toxicity in different populations. We sought to determine the genotype and allele frequencies of polymorphisms for major phase II drug-metabolizing enzymes (TPMT, UGT1A1) and drug transporter (MDR1) in South Indians. Allelic variants of TPMT (*2,*3A,*3B,*3C & *8), UGT1A1 (TA)6>7 and MDR1 (2677G>T/A & 3435C>T) were evaluated in 450-608 healthy South Indian subjects. Genomic DNA was extracted by phenol-chloroform method and genotype was determined by PCR-RFLP, qRT-PCR, allele specific PCR, direct sequencing and SNaPshot techniques. The frequency distributions of TPMT, UGT1A1 and MDR1 gene polymorphisms were compared between the individual 4 South Indian populations viz., Tamilian, Kannadiga, Andhrite and Keralite. The combined frequency distribution of the South Indian populations together, was also compared with that of other major populations. The allele frequencies of TPMT*3C, UGT1A1 (TA)7, MDR1 2677T, 2677A and 3435T were 1.2, 39.8, 60.3, 3.7, and 61.6% respectively. The other variant alleles such as TPMT*2, *3A, *3B and *8 were not identified in the South Indian population. Sub-population analysis showed that the distribution of UGT1A1 (TA)6>7 and MDR1 allelic variants differed between the four ethnic groups. However, the frequencies of TPMT*3C allele were similar in the four South Indian populations. The distribution of TPMT, UGT1A1 and MDR1 gene polymorphisms of the South Indian population was significantly different from other populations.

Abstract
Considering epidemiological, genetic and immunological data, we can conclude that the inflammatory bowel diseases are heterogeneous disorders of multifactorial etiology in which hereditability and environment interact to produce the disease. It is probable that patients have a genetic predisposition for the development of the disease coupled with disturbances in immunoregulation. Several genes have been so far related to the diagnosis of Crohn's disease. Those genes are related to innate pattern recognition receptors, to epithelial barrier homeostasis and maintenance of epithelial barrier integrity, to autophagy and to lymphocyte differentiation. So far, the most strong and replicated associations with Crohn's disease have been done with NOD2, IL23R and ATG16L1 genes. Many genes have so far been implicated in prognosis of Crohn's disease and many attempts have been made to classify genetic profiles in Crohn's disease. CARD15 seems not only a susceptibility gene, but also a disease-modifier gene for Crohn's disease. Enriching our understanding on Crohn's disease genetics is important but when combining genetic data with functional data the outcome could be of major importance to clinicians.

Abstract
Recent pharmacogenomic/pharmacogenetic (PGx) studies have disclosed important roles for drug transporters in the human body. Changes in the functions of drug transporters due to drug/food interactions or genetic polymorphisms, for example, are associated with large changes in pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles of substrate drugs, leading to changes in drug response and side effects. This information is extremely useful not only for drug development but also for individualized treatment. Among drug transporters, the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are expressed in most tissues in humans, and play protective roles; reducing drug absorption from the gastrointestinal tract, enhancing drug elimination into bile and urine, and impeding the entry of drugs into the central nervous system and placenta. In addition to PK/pharmacodynamic (PD) issues, ABC transporters are reported as etiologic and prognostic factors (or biomarkers) for genetic disorders. Although a consensus has not yet been reached, clinical studies have demonstrated that the PGx of ABC transporters influences the overall outcome of pharmacotherapy and contributes to the pathogenesis and progression of certain disorders. This review explains the impact of PGx in ABC transporters in terms of PK/PD, focusing on P-glycoprotein and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Corticosteroids (CS) effectively induce remission in patients with moderate to severe Crohn's disease (CD). However, CS dependence in children is a significant clinical problem associated with numerous side effects. Identification of molecular markers of CS dependence is of paramount importance. The ABCB1 gene codes for P-glycoprotein, a transporter involved in the metabolism of CS. We examined whether DNA variation in the ABCB1 gene was associated with CS dependency in children with CD. METHODS A retrospective study was carried out in two Canadian tertiary pediatric gastroenterology centers. Clinical information was abstracted from medical charts of CD patients (N = 260) diagnosed with CD prior to age 18 and administered a first course of CS during the 1 year since diagnosis. Patients were classified as CS-dependent if they relapsed during drug tapering or after the end of therapy. DNA was extracted from blood or saliva. Thirteen tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (tag-SNPs) and a synonymous variation (C3435T) in the ABCB1 gene were genotyped. Allelic, genotype, and haplotype associations were examined using logistic regression and Haploview. RESULTS Tag-SNP rs2032583 was statistically significantly associated with CS dependency. The rare C allele of this SNP (odds ratio [OR] = 0.56, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.34-0.95, P = 0.029) and heterozygous genotype TC (OR = 0.52, 95% CI: 0.28-0.95, P = 0.035) conferred protection from CS dependency. A three-marker haplotype was significantly associated with CS dependence (multiple comparison corrected P-value = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that the ABCB1 gene may be associated with CS dependence in pediatric CD patients.

Abstract
Aim: Many studies focus on monitoring response to chemotherapy, adverse effects and prediction of therapeutic effects, which depend on individual gene variability. The amount of various polymorphisms in genes involved in the folate cycle, and other metabolic pathways involved in the metabolism of chemotherapeutic drugs, are an essential topic of such studies. This work focuses on the design and establishment of a pharmacogenetically relevant panel, which could be applied to the rapid genotyping of patients treated with thiopurines, 5-fluorouracil, methotrexate, irinotecan and glucocorticoids. Materials & methods: A total of 97 variations in 36 genes associated with side effects of chemotherapeutic treatment were selected. Of these, 94 SNPs were genotyped by the arrayed primer extension (APEX; Asper Biotech Ltd) microarray method or direct sequencing. Variations of tandem repeats or gene deletions were genotyped by capillary electrophoresis and PCR detection. A total of 300 DNA samples from healthy volunteers were tested to estimate genotype frequencies for a Slovak population. All data were checked for Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium and genetic linkage between variations. Results: We designed an APEX microarray for genotyping pharmacologically relevant polymorphisms in patients undergoing chemotherapy. We estimated genotype frequencies for all 97 polymorphisms testing 300 individuals from the Slovak population, which may also serve as an estimate of central European frequencies. These data also allowed for the testing of genetic linkage between loci. Many of the determined genotype frequencies in this study were in similar ranges found in other European populations but four SNPs, rs11760837 (p = 0.018), rs1801265 (p = 0.0375), rs1801394 (p = 0.0066) and rs182455 (p = 0.0083), demonstrated stronger deviation. Conclusion: Genetic variability in genes involved in metabolic pathways of chemotherapeutic drugs, such as methotrexate, 5-fluorouracil, thiopurines or irinotecan, is responsible for individual therapy response and development of side effects. A comprehensive approach in genotyping of numerous variants is aimed to improve individual access to patients and the selection of appropriate drugs for treatment. The APEX microarray method is a valuable tool for fast, reliable and cost-effective genotyping of variants which can be used for the typing of known variants in patients prior to treatment as well as in studies searching for new genotype–phenotype associations. The opportunity of adding additional variants during the study makes the APEX microarray technology flexible and suitable for such trials.

Abstract
AIM: To investigate the relationship between the JNK (c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase) signal transduction pathway and multidrug resistance 1 (MDR1)/P-glycoprotein (P-gp)-mediated multidrug resistance of human colon carcinoma HCT8/V cells.
METHODS: The sensitivity of multidrug-resistant HCT8/V cells and drug-sensitive HCT8 cells to a variety of antitumor drugs was evaluated by MTT assay. After inhibition of the activation of the JNK signaling pathway, MDR1 promoter transcriptional activity and expression of MDR1 mRNA and P-gp were evaluated by luciferase activity assay, real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RFQ-PCR) and Western blot, respectively.
RESULTS: HCT8/V cells exhibited 10.49-fold higher resistance to vincristine than their parental counterparts. The IC50 value of SP600125 (20 μmol/L) decreased from 191.08 mg/L ± 18.18 mg/L to 50.34 mg/L ± 15.71 mg/L and resistance index (RI) reached 3.80 (P < 0.01). After inhibition of the activation of the JNK signaling pathway with a JNK specific inhibitor, MDR1 promoter transcriptional activity showed a 2.55-fold decrease (0.03647 ± 0.00191 vs 0.01362 ± 0.00196, P < 0.01) and the expression of MDR1/P-gp was significantly down-regulated (0.34275 ± 0.0339 vs 0.13625 ± 0.0196, 0.88132 ± 0.1026 vs 0.56174 ± 0.1014, both P < 0.01) in HCT8/V cells.
CONCLUSION: The JNK signal transduction pathway regulates MDR1/P-glycoprotein-mediated multidrug resistance of HCT8/V cells possibly by up-regulating MDR1/P-gp expression.

Abstract
Genetic susceptibility is an important contributor to the pathogenesis of Crohn's disease (CD). We investigated multiple CD susceptibility genes in an Australian paediatric onset CD cohort. Newly diagnosed paediatric onset CD patients (n = 72) and controls (n = 98) were genotyped for 34 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 18 genetic loci. Gene-gene interaction analysis, gene-disease phenotype analysis and genetic risk profiling were performed for all SNPs and all genes. Of the 34 SNPs analysed, four polymorphisms on three genes (NOD2, IL23R, and region 3p21) were significantly associated with CD status (p<0.05). All three CD specific paediatric polymorphisms on PSMG1 and TNFRSF6B showed a trend of association with p<0.1. An additive gene-gene interaction involving TLR4, PSMG1, TNFRSF6B and IRGM was identified with CD. Genes involved in microbial processing (TLR4, PSMG1, NOD2) were significantly associated either at the individual level or in gene-gene interactive roles. Colonic disease was significantly associated with disease SNP rs7517847 (IL23R) (p<0.05) and colonic and ileal/colonic disease was significantly associated with disease SNP rs125221868 (IBD5) and SLC22A4 & SLC22A4/5 variants (p<0.05). We were able to demonstrate genetic association of several genes to CD in a paediatric onset cohort. Several of the observed associations have not been reported previously in association with paediatric CD patients. Our findings demonstrate that CD genetic susceptibility in paediatric patients presents as a complex interaction between numerous genes.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) comprise a heterogeneous group of distinct intestinal disorders. Here, we discuss the concept of childhood-onset IBD as separate disease forms within a larger multifactorial disease category. RECENT FINDINGS There are excellent epidemiological data indicating that the incidence of pediatric IBD, mainly Crohn's disease, is still increasing over the last decades, with indicators of more extensive and more severe disease presentations in children compared to adults, also reflected by higher levels of humoral immune responses. Recent genetic scans allowed to identify particular susceptibility genes for pediatric IBD forms, such as IL27 or probably DcR3. Early postnatal onset forms of IBD might reflect monogenetic causes, as suggested with the finding of IL10 signaling defects that may define a new form of IBD. SUMMARY There are good epidemiological, genetic and clinical data to distinguish different forms of IBD, particularly forms starting early in life. Profound insights in the molecular basis of immune dysregulation in IBD have been gained over the last few years. These recent discoveries will nourish and substantially stimulate the future search for precise cause(s) responsible for life-long intestinal inflammation and it will help to explain the still ongoing rise in incidence in childhood IBD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent genome-wide association studies based on adult and paediatric populations have implicated >30 genes/loci as susceptibility loci for Crohn's disease (CD). AIMS To investigate whether reported genes/loci were also associated with CD in Canadian children. DESIGN AND METHODS A case-control design was implemented at three paediatric gastroenterology clinics in Canada. Children < or =18 years of age with a confirmed diagnosis of CD were recruited along with controls. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in five genome-wide association studies reported genes/loci were genotyped. Associations between individual SNPs and CD were examined. RESULTS A total of 406 cases and 415 controls were studied. The mean (+/-s.d.) age of the cases was 12.3 (+/-3.2) years. Most cases were male (56.6%), had ileo-colonic disease (L3 +/- L4, 52.0%) and inflammatory behaviour (B1 +/- p, 86.9%) at diagnosis. Allelic association analysis (two-tailed) showed that three of the five targeted SNPs were significantly associated with overall susceptibility for CD (ZNF365, r10995271, P = 0.001; PTPN2, rs1893217, P = 0.005; STAT3, rs744166, P = 0.01). Associations with SNP rs4613763 in the PTGER4 locus were marginally nonsignificant (P = 0.07). The ZNF365 and STAT3 SNPs were predominantly associated with ileal disease with or without colonic involvement. CONCLUSION The identified susceptibility genes/loci for adult-onset CD also confer risk for paediatric-onset CD.
