Front Pharmacol 2023; 14:1171353. [PMID: 37719844 PMCID: PMC10501134 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2023.1171353] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2023] [Accepted: 08/21/2023] [Indexed: 09/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Considering the genetic characteristics of people with anti-tuberculosis (TB)-drug-induced liver injury (ATDILI), genetic factors and their consequences for treatment need to be studied. Objective: The correlation between N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) genetic polymorphisms and ATDILI was analysed. Methods: In this study, the liver and coagulation functions of 120 patients with TB were monitored dynamically for at least 3 months. The genetic polymorphisms of patients were detected by pyrosequencing, and the acetylation types of liver damage and the distribution of NAT2 genetic polymorphisms were compared and analysed. Results: The results showed that there were significant differences in the distribution of alleles and acetylation types among different groups (p < 0.05). In patients with grade 4 liver injury (liver failure), any two alleles were included, i.e., *6 and *7. Specifically, patients with fast acetylation genotypes accounted for 42.4% (14/33), those with intermediate acetylated genotypes accounted for 55.2% (32/58), and patients with slow acetylation genotypes accounted for 65.5% (19/29). Conclusion: Patients with slow acetylation genotypes had higher rates of liver failure and liver injury than those with intermediate and fast acetylation genotypes, and patients with slow acetylation genotypes containing any two alleles (*6 and *7) had a higher rate of liver failure than those with other alleles. In summary, the time of liver injury in patients with slow acetylation genotypes was earlier than the total average time, and the time of liver function recovery in patients with fast acetylation genotypes was shorter than the total average time.

Abstract
Background Statins are the most widely used lipid-lowering agents for patients with hyperlipidemia. However, interindividual variations in efficacy and risk of adverse drug reactions to statin treatment have been widely reported. Ethnicity is well known to be one of the contributing factors to this variation, particularly among Asians. Objectives To identify genetic variants associated with statin treatment responses among Asian populations with a focus on four commonly prescribed statins: atorvastatin, rosuvastatin, simvastatin, and pravastatin. Methods A literature search was conducted in Medline and Embase databases. Studies published from 2008 to 2021 were included. The title and abstract of each article were screened by two reviewers and verified by another two reviewers. Data charted include information on authors, year of study, study population, statin studied, gene studied, study findings, and data of significant statistical value. Results A total of 35 articles were included from the 1,939 original studies related to treatment efficacy and 5 articles out of the 284 original studies related to adverse effects. Genetic variants in transmembrane transporters, cytochrome P450 isoenzymes, and apolipoproteins are the most extensively studied among Asian populations, with a main focus on ethnic Chinese. However, Asia consists of genetically different populations, and the results of this review indicated that there is a paucity of studies on other ethnic groups within Asia. Conclusions Considering the ethnicity of patients could provide a potential value to personalized medicine in statin therapy.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze SLCO1B1 and APOE polymorphisms and their clinical significance in the Mongolian and Han populations in Ordos, Inner Mongolia. Methods: Mongolian patients (n = 200) with cardiovascular disease admitted to our hospital from January 2018 to December 2020 were selected as the Mongolian population group. Han patients (n = 200) with cardiovascular diseases admitted during the same period were selected as the Han population group. Mutations in SLCO1B1 and APOE were detected by real-time fluorescence qPCR, and the differences between the two groups were analyzed. Results: The nucleotide polymorphisms of SLCO1B1 and APOE in the Mongolian and Han populations were consistent with the Hardy-Weinberg law. There were significant differences in gender, age, BMI, hypertension, alcohol consumption, dyslipidemia and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels between the two groups. APOE genotypes were classified according to those related to the efficacy of statins and the risk of atherosclerosis, and there was a significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion: There were differences in SLCO1B1 and APOE polymorphisms between the Mongolian and Han populations in Ordos. These may explain the differences in the incidence of cardiovascular diseases and the lipid-lowering efficacy of statins between the two populations.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Members of the solute carrier family of organic anion transporting polypeptides are responsible for the cellular uptake of a broad range of endogenous compounds and xenobiotics in multiple tissues. In particular, the polymorphic transporters OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 are highly expressed in the liver and have been identified as critical regulators of hepatic eliminaton. As these transporters are also expressed in cancer cells, the function alteration of these proteins have important consequences for an individual's susceptibility to certain drug-induced side effects, drug-drug interactions, and treatment efficacy. AREAS COVERED In this mini-review, we provide an update of this rapidly emerging field, with specific emphasis on the direct contribution of genetic variants in OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 to the transport of anticancer drugs, the role of these carriers in regulation of their disposition and toxicity profiles, and recent advances in attempts to integrate information on transport function in patients to derive individualized treatment strategies. EXPERT OPINION Based on currently available data, it appears imperative that different aspects of disease, physiology, and drugs of relevance should be evaluated along with an individual's genetic signature, and that tools such as biomarker levels can be implemented to achieve the most reliable prediction of clinically relevant pharmacodynamic endpoints.

Abstract
Objective: To understand the distribution characteristics of the relative frequencies of apolipoprotein E (APOE) alleles in Tibetans of Qinghai province, to provide a basis for subsequent research. Method: Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was used to determine the APOE genotypes and analyze the distribution characteristics in 96 indigenous Tibetans randomly selected from the Medical Examination Center of Qinghai Provincial People’s Hospital, and the results of this study were compared with those of other ethnic groups in China. Results: The frequencies of E2, E3, and E4 alleles in the 96 subjects were 1.563%, 89.062%, and 9.375%, respectively, and the genotype frequencies were E2/E2 (0%), E2/E3 (3.125%), E2/E4 (0%), E3/E3 (78.125%), E3/E4 (18.750%), and E4/E4 (0%), respectively. The frequency distribution of the ε2 allele in the Tibetan population was lower than that of the Northern Han, Southern Hakka, Hui, Mongolian, and Dai populations of China. The frequency distribution of the ε4 allele in the Tibetan population was of no significant difference compared with that of the Northern Han, Southern Hakka, Hui, and Mongolian populations, but was higher than that of the Dai population. The frequency distribution of the ε3 allele in the Tibetan population was of no significant difference compared with that of the Northern Han, Mongolian, and Dai populations, but higher than that of the Southern Hakka and Mongolian populations. Conclusion: There are ethnic differences in the frequency distribution of the three common alleles of APOE.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the relationship of Apolipoprotein E (APOE) and solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 1B1 (SLCO1B1) gene polymorphisms with coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS 1,129 CAD patients and 1,014 non-CAD controls were included in the study, and relevant information and medical records were collected. The single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were analyzed, including rs429358, rs7412 in APOE gene and rs2306283, rs4149056 in SLCO1B1 gene. RESULTS The CAD patients' average age was 66.3 ± 10.7 years, while 65.5 ± 12.0 years in controls. The frequencies of APOE allele ɛ3, ɛ4, and ɛ2 were 83.01%, 10.08%, and 6.91% respectively. There were statistically significant differences in genotype ɛ3/ɛ4 (χ2 = 8.077, p = 0.005) in CAD patients compared with the controls. The SLCO1B1 genotype *1b/*1b and haplotype *1b showed the highest frequency in the study sample. Moreover, ε4 carriers had significantly lower HDL-C, Apo-A1 levels than ε3 carriers among CAD patients, while ε2 carriers showed lower LDL-C, Apo-B level, and higher Apo-A1/Apo-B level than ε3 and ε4 carriers. In controls, ε2 carriers showed lower LDL-C and Apo-B level, higher Apo-A1, and Apo-A1/Apo-B level than ε4 carriers. Logistic regression analysis showed that high LDL-C and Apo-B level, low HDL-C level, smoking, and the ε4 allele were risks for the presence of CAD. CONCLUSIONS APOE ε4 allele may be associated with susceptibility to CAD in southern Chinese Hakka population. It indicated that the APOE SNPs rs429358 and rs7412 are associated with CAD, but not SNPs rs2306283 and rs4149056 of SLCO1B1 gene.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the relationship between ApoE gene polymorphism and clinical efficacy of statins on lipidemia. METHODS Peripheral venous blood was obtained from 220 patients with hyperlipidemia who were admitted to the outpatient department of our hospital. The potential relationship between ApoE gene polymorphism and clinical effect of statins was analyzed. RESULTS In the three isomers (E2, E3, E4) of ApoE, expression level of ApoE protein in ApoE4 gene carriers was significantly different from that in E2 or E3 gene carriers (both P<0.05). At the same time, both the decrease rate of total cholesterol (TC) in blood lipid and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and the rise rate of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in ApoE4 carriers after taking statins were much lower than those in non-ApoE4 patients (P<0.05). CONCLUSION ApoE gene polymorphism is associated with hyperlipidemia and has certain influence on the clinical efficacy of statins in treatment of hyperlipidemia.

Abstract
Statins can cause muscle symptoms resulting in poor adherence to therapy and increased cardiovascular risk. We hypothesize that combinations of potentially functional SNPs (pfSNPs), rather than individual SNPs, better predict myalgia in patients on atorvastatin. This study assesses the value of potentially functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (pfSNPs) and employs six machine learning algorithms to identify the combination of SNPs that best predict myalgia. Methods: Whole genome sequencing of 183 Chinese, Malay and Indian patients from Singapore was conducted to identify genetic variants associated with atorvastatin induced myalgia. To adjust for confounding factors, demographic and clinical characteristics were also examined for their association with myalgia. The top factor, sex, was then used as a covariate in the whole genome association analyses. Variants that were highly associated with myalgia from this and previous studies were extracted, assessed for potential functionality (pfSNPs) and incorporated into six machine learning models. Predictive performance of a combination of different models and inputs were compared using the average cross validation area under ROC curve (AUC). The minimum combination of SNPs to achieve maximum sensitivity and specificity as determined by AUC, that predict atorvastatin-induced myalgia in most, if not all the six machine learning models was determined. Results: Through whole genome association analyses using sex as a covariate, a larger proportion of pfSNPs compared to non-pf SNPs were found to be highly associated with myalgia. Although none of the individual SNPs achieved genome wide significance in univariate analyses, machine learning models identified a combination of 15 SNPs that predict myalgia with good predictive performance (AUC >0.9). SNPs within genes identified in this study significantly outperformed SNPs within genes previously reported to be associated with myalgia. pfSNPs were found to be more robust in predicting myalgia, outperforming non-pf SNPs in the majority of machine learning models tested. Conclusion: Combinations of pfSNPs that were consistently identified by different machine learning models to have high predictive performance have good potential to be clinically useful for predicting atorvastatin-induced myalgia once validated against an independent cohort of patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The variation of serum lipid levels can be part-related to certain genes. One such gene, SLCO1B1, encodes a transporter that may have a role in lipid metabolism. We hypothesised that differences in certain SLCO1B1 genotypes are related to levels of serum lipids. MATERIALS AND METHODS We recruited 636 subjects who were genotyped for SLCO1B1 variants *1a, *1b, *5 and *15. Routine liver function tests, renal function tests and routine lipid indices were measured by standard techniques. RESULTS The most frequent genotypes were *1b/*1b (29.3%), *1b/*15 (27.5%), *1a/*1b (21.1%), *1a/*15 and *1b/*5 (10.2%) and *1a/*1a (8.5%). There were significant differences in levels of triglycerides and HDL in the four SLCO1B1 genotypes *1a/*1a, *1b/*1b, *1a/*1b and *1b/*15 (all p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The genotypes *1a/*1a and *1a/*1b indicate a high risk of cardiovascular disease, while the *1b/*1b group may have a relatively low risk. SLCO1B1 may be involved in the metabolism of triglycerides and HDL. We have provided a tool for identifying potentially high-risk groups that could be helpful for early diagnosis and prevention, individualized drug therapy and even gene therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Statins are the most widely used lipid-lowering drugs, which have a significant effect on the inhibition of cardiovascular disease. The efficacy and side effects of statins are associated with the polymorphisms of SLCO1B1 and APOE genes. The purpose of this study was to analyze the SLCO1B1 and APOE gene polymorphisms in the Hakka population of southern China. METHODS A total of 3249 subjects including 2019 males and 1230 females participated in this study. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-fluorescence probe technique for polymorphisms analysis and analyzed the genotypes frequencies of SLCO1B1 and APOE genes. RESULTS The frequencies of SLCO1B1 521T>C between men and women were statistically significant (SLCO1B1 521TT, χ2 = 8.431, P = .004; SLCO1B1 521TC, χ2 = 7.436, P = .007). The frequencies of haplotypes *1b/*1b (40.07%) and *1a/*1b (32.56%) of SLCO1B1 gene accounted for 72.63%, followed by *1b/*15(14.40%), *1a/*1a (5.82%), *1a/*15 (5.57%), *15/*15 (1.45%), and *1a/*5 (0.12%). The frequencies of haplotypes *1a/*15 and *1b/*1b of SLCO1B1 gene between men and women were statistically significant (*1a/*15, χ2 = 6.789, P = .009; *1b/*1b, χ2 = 3.998, P = .004). In this study, genotype ɛ3/ɛ3 accounted for 69.04%, followed by ɛ3/ɛ4 (16.19%), ɛ2/ɛ3 (11.60%), ɛ2/ɛ4 (1.35%), ɛ4/ɛ4 (1.08%), and ɛ2/ɛ2 (0.74%) in all subjects, in which ɛ3 had the greatest allele frequency (82.93%), followed by ɛ4 (9.85%) and ɛ2 (7.22%). We found that 47 subjects carrying the SLCO1B1 521 (CC) polymorphism who had not any myopathy caused by statins. CONCLUSIONS We analyzed the SLCO1B1 and APOE gene polymorphisms in the Hakka population of southern China. This study provides a reference for the individualized meditation for Hakka population in this area.
