Involvement of the ABCB1 C3435T Variant but Not the MTHFR C677T or MTHFR A1298C Variant in High-Dose Methotrexate-Induced Toxicity in Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Patients in China. Int J Gen Med 2024; 17:1221-1231. [PMID: 38559593 PMCID: PMC10981894 DOI: 10.2147/ijgm.s453394] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2023] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose It remains unclear whether the MTHFR C677T, MTHFR A1298C and ABCB1 C3435T genetic variants are associated with methotrexate (MTX) elimination delay and high-dose MTX (HD-MTX) toxicities in the treatment of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The aim of our study was to analyze the potential predictive role of MTHFR C677T, MTHFR A1298C and ABCB1 C3435T in toxicities and the relationship between these variants and MTX elimination delay during HD-MTX therapy in pediatric ALL patients. Patients and Methods We conducted a retrospective study on ALL patients receiving HD-MTX treatment with available MTHFR C677T, MTHFR A1298C and ABCB1 C3435T genotype and 44-h plasma MTX levels. Logistic regression analyses and chi-square tests were used to assess the relationship between the variants and HD-MTX toxicities and MTX elimination delay. Results Genotype frequencies were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. MTX elimination delay did not significantly differ between MTHFR C677T and MTHFR A1298C or ABCB1 C3435T. Leukopenia (P=0.028), neutropenia (P=0.034) and oral mucositis (P=0.023) were 6.444-fold, 4.978-fold and 9.643-fold increased, respectively, in ABCB1 C3435T homozygous genotype (TT) patients compared to wild-type (CC) patients. No significant association was found between the toxicities investigated and MTHFR C677T or MTHFR A1298C. Conclusion This study showed that the ABCB1 C3435T homozygous allele genotype (TT) is associated with increased MTX-related toxicities (leukopenia, neutropenia and oral mucositis). These results may help to distinguish pediatric ALL patients with a relatively high risk of MTX-related toxicities before HD-MTX infusion and optimize MTX treatment.

Abstract
Polymorphisms in genes coding folate-metabolising enzymes might alter the pharmacokinetics and sensitivity for methotrexate "MTX".The aim of the study aimed to investigate the influence of MTHFR C677T, DHFR19 Ins/del, GGH -401 C > T, and MTR A2756G polymorphisms on MTX toxicity and pharmacokinetics in Egyptian patients with Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) or Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).Fifty adult Egyptian patients with ALL and NHL, treated with high dose MTX, were prospectively enrolled in the study. Clinical and biochemical data was collected objectively from medical records after each cycle of MTX. Plasma concentrations of MTX were measured after 72 h of initiation of infusion. Genotyping was done with a PCR-ARMS and PCR-RFLP assays.The MTHFR C677T T variants significantly increased the risk of leukopoenia, whereas the genotype MTHFR 677 C > T TT significantly associated with lymphocytopenia, thrombocytopenia, and anaemia. The genotype GGH-401 TT was significantly correlated with anaemia. Plasma MTX level was significantly higher in patients with MTR A2756G G variants.MTHFR polymorphism played the main role in MTX toxicities. The pharmacokinetics of MTX was affected by MTR polymorphism. GGH mutation was mainly concerned with anaemia. Pharmacogenetic testing are recommended to optimise MTX therapy.

Abstract
Two hundred and thirty-one acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) children with 1376 high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) courses (3-5 g/m2) were enrolled to analyze the influence of the plasma MTX concentration (CMTX) in ALL. The 24-h target peak CMTX (C24h) was set at 33 μmol/l for low-risk (LR) and 65 μmol/l for intermediate/high-risk (IR/HR) groups. The median C24h was 42.0 μmol/l and 69.7 μmol/l for LR and IR/HR groups, respectively. MTX excretion delay was observed in 14.6% of courses, which was more frequent in IR/HR groups (56.9% vs. LR group 40.2%, p = .014) and T-ALL patients (82.6% vs. B-ALL 47.1%, p = .001). MTX-related toxicities were more common in courses with MTX excretion delay. However, survival between the patients who failed to reach the target C24h or not, with or without MTX excretion delay, was comparable. These findings suggest that, owing to the effectiveness of risk stratification chemotherapy, CMTX does not exert an independent influence on the prognosis of childhood ALL.

Abstract
Methotrexate (MTX), a structurally related substance to folic acid, is an important chemotherapeutic agent used for decades in the treatment of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and other types of cancer as non-Hodgkin lymphomas and osteosarcomas. Despite the successful outcomes observed, the primary drawback is the variability in the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics between patients. The main adverse events related to its use are nephrotoxicity, mucositis, and myelosuppression, especially when used in high doses. The potential adverse reactions and toxicities associated with MTX are a cause for concern and may lead to dose reduction or treatment interruption. Genetic variants in MTX transport genes have been linked to toxicity. Pharmacogenetic studies conducted in the past focused on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the coding and 5'-regulatory regions of genes. Recent studies have demonstrated a significant role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the transport and metabolism of drugs and in the regulation of target genes. In the last few years, the number of annotated miRNAs has continually risen, in addition to the studies of miRNA polymorphisms and MTX toxicity. Therefore, the objective of the present study is to investigate the role of miRNA variants related to MTX adverse effects.

Abstract
Since SLCO1B1 encodes the uptake transporter OATP1B1, which can influence the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles of edoxaban, polymorphisms in SLCO1B1 may affect the edoxaban response. This study aimed to investigate the association between SLCO1B1 gene polymorphisms and the bleeding risk in patients receiving edoxaban. We genotyped 10 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from the SLCO1B1 gene in patients receiving edoxaban. We also analyzed rs3842 of ABCB1 as a confounder. The odds ratio (OR) and adjusted OR (AOR) were calculated from univariate and multivariable analysis, respectively. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) was constructed for the discrimination of the model. A total of 159 patients receiving edoxaban were analyzed. Overdose and rs4149056 showed significant association with bleeding complications by around 11- and 5.5-fold, respectively. Additionally, patients with the rs4149057 variant allele (C) had a 3.9-fold increased bleeding risk compared with wild-type homozygote carriers (TT), whereas rs2306283 variant homozygote (GG) carriers had a 0.27-fold reduced bleeding risk compared with wild-type allele (A) carriers. Patients with the variant-type homozygote (CC) of ABCB1 rs3842 had a higher bleeding risk than T allele carriers (AOR = 5.3 and 5.9). The final models for multivariable analyses were acceptable based on the AUROC values (> 0.70). These findings may help predict bleeding risk in patients taking edoxaban and help personalize treatment.

Front Immunol 2023; 14:1229266. [PMID: 37731501 PMCID: PMC10507719 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2023.1229266] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2023] [Accepted: 08/14/2023] [Indexed: 09/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Methotrexate (MTX), utilized as a graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) prophylactic agent in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), has been proven to effectively decrease the occurrence of the peri-engraftment syndrome (Peri-ES) and acute GvHD (aGvHD). Changes in the pharmacodynamics of MTX are closely associated with gene polymorphisms in genes encoding drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters. Nevertheless, the current studies mainly concentrate on leukemia or autoimmune diseases, and limited studies on allo-HSCT were reported. Methods Here, we retrospectively assessed the relationship between MTX-related transporter and metabolizing enzyme gene polymorphisms, clinical characteristics, and outcomes in 57 pediatric patients who received haploid HSCT (haplo-HSCT) with malignant tumors at a single center. Results We discovered all gene polymorphisms were in the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in our cohort. We discovered a significant correlation between platelet recovery time and ABCB1 (1236C>T) (p = 0.042). Compared with patients with SLCO1B1 (1865+4846T>C) TT, patients with SLCO1B1 (1865+4846T>C) TC/CC had an increased incidence of Peri-ES (p = 0.030). Based on the multivariate Cox analysis, we discovered that SLCO1B1 (1865+4846T>C) TT genotype was an independent protective factor for Peri-ES morbidity (hazard ratio (HR) = 0.464, p = 0.031), and the dose of mononuclear cells reinfused was significantly correlated with II-IV aGvHD (HR = 2.604, p = 0.039). Conclusion In summary, our findings prove that the host's genotypes might modify the risk of developing Peri-ES, contribute to a better understanding of the inter-individual difference in efficacy, and facilitate the development of individualized approaches to GvHD prophylaxis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Relative to other pediatric cancers, survival for rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) has not improved in recent decades, suggesting the need to enhance risk stratification. Therefore, we conducted a genome-wide association study for event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) to identify genetic variants associated with outcomes in individuals with RMS. METHODS The study included 920 individuals with newly diagnosed RMS who were enrolled in Children's Oncology Group protocols. To assess the association of each single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) with EFS and OS, we estimated hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using multivariable Cox proportional hazards models, adjusted for clinical covariates. All statistical tests were two sided. We also performed stratified analyses by histological subtype (alveolar and embryonal RMS) and carried out sensitivity analyses of statistically significant SNPs by PAX3/7-FOXO1 fusion status and genetic ancestry group. RESULTS We identified that rs17321084 was associated with worse EFS (HR = 2.01, 95% CI = 1.59 to 2.53, P = 5.39 × 10-9) and rs10094840 was associated with worse OS (HR = 1.84, 95% CI = 1.48 to 2.27, P = 2.13 × 10-8). Using publicly available data, we found that rs17321084 lies in a binding region for transcription factors GATA2 and GATA3, and rs10094840 is associated with SPAG1 and RNF19A expression. We also identified that CTNNA3 rs2135732 (HR = 3.75, 95% CI = 2.34 to 5.99, P = 3.54 × 10-8) and MED31 rs74504320 (HR = 3.21, 95% CI = 2.12 to 4.86, P = 3.60 × 10-8) were associated with worse OS among individuals with alveolar RMS. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrated that common germline variants are associated with EFS and OS among individuals with RMS. Additional replication and investigation of these SNP effects may further support their consideration in risk stratification protocols.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the risk factors associated with high-dose methotrexate (HDMTX) (≥ 1 g/m2) treatment-induced acute kidney injury (AKI). METHODS Patients who received HDMTX from July 2014 to August 2019 in one medical center were enrolled. The patients' demographic, laboratory, and medication data were collected and compared between groups with or without AKI. Risk factors of HDMTX-induced AKI were explored using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Additionally, we searched and summarized previous studies to identify key correlates of AKI in a narrative review. RESULTS We enrolled 59 patients who had received 200 HDMTX courses. The incidence of HDMTX-induced nephrotoxicity was 9.5%. Multivariate logistic regression revealed that male sex (odds ratio [OR], 4.20; P = .037), and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs)/angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) (OR, 5.18; P = .016) were significantly associated with AKI. Diuretics with urinary acidification, such as loop diuretics, were also a key factor in AKI (OR, 4.91; P = .018). Furthermore, a forest plot identified 21 predictors from nine additional cohort studies showing correlations with the development of AKI. CONCLUSION Male sex, ACEIs/ARBs, and diuretics with urinary acidification are associated with AKI. Furthermore, laboratory data should be monitored to assess AKI risk before HDMTX therapy, especially in elderly patients with obesity, diabetes, or acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Abstract
The efficacy and the safety of psoriasis medications have been proved in trials, but unideal responses and side effects are noted in clinical practice. Genetic predisposition is known to contribute to the pathogenesis of psoriasis. Hence, pharmacogenomics gives the hint of predictive treatment response individually. This review highlights the current pharmacogenetic and pharmacogenomic studies of medical therapy in psoriasis. HLA-Cw*06 status remains the most promising predictive treatment response in certain drugs. Numerous genetic variants (such as ABC transporter, DNMT3b, MTHFR, ANKLE1, IL-12B, IL-23R, MALT1, CDKAL1, IL17RA, IL1B, LY96, TLR2, etc.) are also found to be associated with treatment response for methotrexate, cyclosporin, acitretin, anti-TNF, anti-IL-12/23, anti-IL-17, anti-PDE4 agents, and topical therapy. Due to the high throughput sequencing technologies and the dramatic increase in sequencing cost, pharmacogenomic tests prior to treatment by whole exome sequencing or whole genome sequencing may be applied in clinical in the future. Further investigations are necessary to manifest potential genetic markers for psoriasis treatments.

Effects of the SLCO1B1 A388G single nucleotide polymorphism on the development, clinical parameters, treatment, and survival of multiple myeloma cases in a Polish population. Mol Biol Rep 2023; 50:1447-1458. [PMID: 36478296 PMCID: PMC9889417 DOI: 10.1007/s11033-022-08162-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2022] [Accepted: 11/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Multiple myeloma is one of the most common hematological malignancies worldwide. Genetic alterations may lead to the progression from monoclonal gammopathy to multiple myeloma. Additionally, the genetic background of the disease might influence therapy outcomes, including survival time. SLCO1B1, belonging to the OATPs family, is a membrane protein that mediates the uptake of a wide range of endogenous and exogenous (including drugs) compounds. METHODS AND RESULTS In this study, the A388G single nucleotide polymorphism in the SLCO1B1 gene in Polish multiple myeloma patients was determined. This polymorphism affects the amino acid change of the protein, so it may be responsible for treatment effectiveness or risk of disease development. A388G was evaluated by the PCR-RFLP method. The presented study showed a statistically significant association between the GG genotype with longer survival of patients with multiple myeloma with Melphalan-Prednisone therapy compared to other treatment regimens (p = 0.0271). There was no statistically significant association in the frequency of genotypes (p = 0.8211) and alleles: allele A (p = 0.5442); allele G (p = 0.8020) between multiple myeloma patients and a control group. CONCLUSIONS The A388G polymorphism does not seem to affect the increased risk of the development of multiple myeloma. However, the occurrence of the GG genotype may prolong of patients overall survival in the case of Melphalan-Prednisone therapy.

Abstract
Methotrexate is an immunosuppressant and chemotherapeutic agent used in the treatment of a range of autoimmune disorders and cancers. Its main serious adverse effects, bone marrow suppression and gastrointestinal complications, arise from its antimetabolite effect. Nevertheless, hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity are two widely described adverse effects of methotrexate. Its hepatotoxicity has been studied mainly in the low-dose, chronic setting, where patients are at risk of fibrosis/cirrhosis. Studies of acute hepatoxicity of high dose methotrexate, such as during chemotherapy, are scarce. We present the case of a 14-year-old patient who received high-dose methotrexate and subsequently developed acute fulminant liver failure and acute kidney injury. Genotyping of MTHFR (Methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase gene), ABCB1 (codes for P-glycoprotein, intestinal transport and biliary excretion), ABCG2 (codes for BCRP, intestinal transporter and renal excretion) and SLCO1B1 (codes for OATP1B1, hepatic transporter) identified variants in all the genes analysed that predicted a reduced rate of methotrexate elimination and thus may have contributed to the clinical situation of the patient. Precision medicine involving pharmacogenomic testing could potentially avoid such adverse drug effects.

Abstract
Methotrexate (MTX) is a folic acid antagonist, the mechanism of action is to inhibit DNA synthesis, repair and cell proliferation by decreasing the activities of several folate-dependent enzymes. It is widely used as a chemotherapy drug for children and adults with malignant tumors. High-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) is an effective treatment for extramedullary infiltration and systemic consolidation in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). However, significant toxicity results in most patients treated with HD-MTX, which limits its use. HD-MTX-induced toxicity is heterogeneous, and this heterogeneity may be related to gene polymorphisms in related enzymes of the MTX intracellular metabolic pathway. To gain a deeper understanding of the differences in toxicity induced by HD-MTX in individuals, the present review examines the correlation between HD-MTX-induced toxicity and the gene polymorphisms of related enzymes in the MTX metabolic pathway in ALL. In this review, we conclude that only the association of SLCO1B1 and ARID5B gene polymorphisms with plasma levels of MTX and MTX-related toxicity is clearly described. These results suggest that SLCO1B1 and ARID5B gene polymorphisms should be evaluated before HD-MTX treatment. In addition, considering factors such as age and race, the other exact predictor of MTX induced toxicity in ALL needs to be further determined.

Abstract
Aim: To evaluate the association between SLCO1B1 polymorphisms and elimination/toxicities of high-dose methotrexate (MTX). Methods: SLCO1B1 rs11045879 and rs4149056 polymorphisms were retrospectively genotyped in 301 children with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia. MTX concentration, doses of leucovorin rescue and toxicities were recorded. Results: SLCO1B1 rs11045879C carriers (CC + CT) had higher plasma MTX levels at 96 hr, and longer MTX elimination time. The number of leucovorin rescue doses in rs4149056C carriers (CC + CT) was more than those in TT ones. Moreover, SLCO1B1 polymorphisms were associated with HDMTX toxicities including thrombocytopenia, renal toxicity and anal mucositis, but not associated with MTX level at other time points or delayed elimination. Conclusions: Our data demonstrate that genotyping of SLCO1B1 might be useful to optimize MTX therapy.

Abstract
High dose methotrexate (HDMTX) is an essential agent in chemotherapeutic regimens used in various hematological malignancies in Egyptian adults. The research for the impact of gene polymorphism on HDMTX induced toxicities and delayed elimination is an important ongoing objective in many studies, variable and conflicting results produced in the past years to clarify that impact. This study aimed to investigate the role of ABCB1 3435 C > T rs1045642 and MTHFR 677 C > T rs1801133 polymorphisms on HDMTX induced toxicity outcomes and delayed elimination in Egyptian adult patients with hematological malignancies. A prospective, observational cohort study was conducted on a total of 62 Egyptian adult patients with hematological malignancies age ≥ 18-years-old. All demographic, medical, and laboratory data were continuously collected from the patients' medical files in an up-to-date follow-up in selected clinics during the period from April 2018 to March 2020. Venous blood samples were collected for the purpose of genotyping, DNA extraction, and measurement of MTX levels. All the relevant data were statistically analyzed. The studied patients' median age was 25 years old with a range of (18-62) years. Forty-six patients were males with about 74%, and 16 were females with about 26%. Eighty-nine percent of the patients diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia 'ALL', 5% of the patients had B cell non-hodgkin lymphoma 'B-NHL' and 3% diagnosed with primary central nervous system lymphoma 'PCNSL' and Burkitt's lymphoma 'BL' Hematological, hepatic, renal and gastrointestinal toxicities observed post-HDMTX were recorded with the hematological toxicities toping on all the others, also patients with delayed elimination at 72 hours post the HDMTX dose were determined. Statistical analysis revealed a significant association between ABCB1 3435 C > T rs1045642 and HDMTX delayed elimination with about 10 times higher risk among the minor allele 'T' carriers (p-value = 0.006) (odds ratio [OR]: 10.470; 95% CI: 1.961-55.904). No significant association observed between the studied gene polymorphisms: MTHFR 677 C > T rs1801133, ABCB1 3435 C > T rs1045642, and different toxicity outcomes. According to our best knowledge, this study is the first to conclude a significant association between ABCB1 3435 C > T rs1045642 gene polymorphism and HDMTX delayed elimination at 72 hours post HDMTX infusion; also, it is the first study to analyze the association between ABCB1 3435 C > T rs1045642 polymorphism with HDMTX toxicity and delayed elimination in adult Egyptian patients with hematological malignancies.

Abstract
A study on 70 acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) children (age ≤16 years) treated with high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) in Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital was conducted. The aim of the study was to establish a risk-scoring model to predict HD-MTX-induced liver injury, considering gene polymorphisms’ effects. Data screening was performed through t-test, chi-square test, and ridge regression, and six predictors were identified: age, MTRR_AA, MTRR_AG, SLCO1B1_11045879_CC, albumin_1 day before MTX administration, and IBIL_1 day before MTX administration (p < 0.1). Then, the risk-scoring model was established by ridge regression and evaluated the prediction performance. In a training cohort (n = 49), the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.76, and metrics including accuracy, precision, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were promising (0.86, 0.81, 0.76, 0.91, 0.81, 0.88, respectively). In a test cohort (n = 21), the AUC was 0.62 and negative predictive value was 0.80; other evaluation metrics were not satisfactory, possibly due to the limited sample size. Ultimately, the risk scores were stratified into three groups based on their distributions: low- (≤48), medium- (49–89), and high-risk (>89) groups. This study could provide knowledge for the prediction of HD-MTX-induced liver injury and reference for the clinical medication.

Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13112837. [PMID: 34200242 PMCID: PMC8201112 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13112837] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2021] [Revised: 05/27/2021] [Accepted: 06/02/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Methotrexate (MTX) is a mainstay therapeutic agent administered at high doses for the treatment of pediatric and adult malignancies, such as acute lymphoblastic leukemia, osteosarcoma, and lymphoma. Despite the vast evidence for clinical efficacy, high-dose MTX displays significant inter-individual pharmacokinetic variability. Delayed MTX clearance can lead to prolonged, elevated exposure, causing increased risks for nephrotoxicity, mucositis, seizures, and neutropenia. Numerous pharmacogenetic studies have investigated the effects of several genes and polymorphisms on MTX clearance in an attempt to better understand the pharmacokinetic variability and improve patient outcomes. To date, several genes and polymorphisms that affect MTX clearance have been identified. However, evidence for select genes have conflicting results or lack the necessary replication and validation needed to confirm their effects on MTX clearance. Therefore, we performed a systematic review to identify and then summarize the pharmacogenetic factors that influence high-dose MTX pharmacokinetics in pediatric malignancies. Using the PRISMA guidelines, we analyzed 58 articles and 24 different genes that were associated with transporter pharmacology or the folate transport pathway. We conclude that there is only one gene that reliably demonstrates an effect on MTX pharmacokinetics: SLCO1B1.

Abstract
Methotrexate (MTX), an antimetabolite for the treatment of leukemia, could cause neutropenia and subsequently fever, which might lead to treatment delay and affect prognosis. Here, we aimed to predict neutropenia and fever related to high-dose MTX using artificial intelligence. This study included 139 pediatric patients newly diagnosed with standard- or intermediate risk B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Fifty-seven SNPs of 16 genes were genotyped. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to select SNPs and clinical covariates for model developing. Five machine learning algorithms combined with four resampling techniques were used to build optimal predictive model. The combination of random forest with adaptive synthetic appeared to be the best model for neutropenia (sensitivity = 0.935, specificity = 0.920, AUC = 0.927) and performed best for fever (sensitivity = 0.818, specificity = 0.924, AUC = 0.870). By machine learning, we have developed and validated comprehensive models to predict the risk of neutropenia and fever. Such models may be helpful for medical oncologists in quick decision-making.

Pediatr Rheumatol Online J 2021; 19:51. [PMID: 33794950 PMCID: PMC8017639 DOI: 10.1186/s12969-021-00539-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2020] [Accepted: 03/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Context: Methotrexate (MTX) is a cornerstone in the treatment of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). MTX treatment is commonly associated with nausea. Large inter-individual variation exists in the level of MTX-induced nausea, possibly due to genetic factors. PURPOSE To investigate whether MTX-induced nausea was associated with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes encoding MTX-transporter proteins, a MTX metabolizing enzyme and a nausea receptor. FINDINGS Methods: Children aged ≥9 years treated with MTX for JIA were eligible. MTX-induced nausea was registered by the children's completion of a nausea diary (min. 7 days) and the parents' completion of the MTX intolerance severity score (MISS). The selected SNPs were: SLCO1B1 (rs4149056; rs4149081), SLCO1B3 (rs2117032), SLC19A1 (rs1051266), ABCC2 (rs2273697; rs3740066; rs717620), ABCB1 (rs2032582; rs1045642), MTHFR (rs1801131, rs1801133), HTR3A (rs1062613; rs1985242; rs1176713) and HTR3B (rs1176744). RESULT Enrolled were 121 JIA patients (82 girls: 39 boys) with a median age of 13.3 years (IQR: 11.3-15.1). The median MTX dose was 9.7 mg/m2/week (IQR: 9.0-10.9). The median MTX treatment duration prior to enrolment was 340 days (IQR: 142-766). The SNP analysis was available for 119 patients. MTX intolerance was associated with the genotype distribution of rs1801133 (MTHFR) (p = 0.02). There was no additive effect of the minor alleles for any of the selected SNPs, nor any significant haplotype associations. CONCLUSION Summary: MTX-induced nausea may be influenced by genetic polymorphisms in a MTX metabolizing enzyme (rs1801133; MTHFR). IMPLICATIONS Further analyses involving inclusion of larger cohorts are needed to understand the impact of SNPs on MTX-induced nausea in JIA.

Abstract
High-dose (HD) methotrexate (MTX) is a critical component of treatment for hematologic malignancies in children and young adults. Therapeutic drug monitoring is necessary due to substantial interindividual variation in MTX clearance. Common function-altering polymorphisms in SLCO1B1 (encodes OATP1B1, which transports MTX) may contribute to clearance variability. We performed pharmacokinetic modeling using data for 106 children and young adults treated with HD MTX for hematologic malignancies; of 396 total courses of HD MTX, 360 consisted of 5 g/m2 over 24 hours. We evaluated the contribution of clinical covariates and SLCO1B1 genotype (388A>G and 521T>C) to MTX clearance variability. Of the clinical covariates studied, patient weight improved the pharmacokinetic model most significantly (P < 0.001). The addition of the SLCO1B1 variants individually further improved the model (P < 0.05 for each). An interaction between these variants was suggested when both were included (P = 0.017). SLCO1B1 genotype should be considered in efforts to personalize HD MTX dosing.

Abstract
High-dose methotrexate is a cornerstone agent in the chemotherapeutic treatment of patients with osteosarcoma. However, patients often develop methotrexate-induced toxicities. We aim to identify determinants of methotrexate-induced toxicities in osteosarcoma patients by investigating the relation between drug plasma levels, methotrexate-induced toxicities, and germline variants in genes related to drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination. A cohort of 114 osteosarcoma patients was genotyped for 1,931 variants in 231 genes using the Drug Metabolism Enzymes and Transporters Plus array. Methotrexate plasma levels and laboratory measurements during and after high-dose methotrexate treatment concerning renal function, liver damage, and myelopoiesis to reflect toxicity outcomes were obtained. One hundred and thirteen patients and a subset of 545 variants in 176 genes passed quality control checks. Methotrexate plasma levels showed associations with creatinine, alanine aminotransferase, and hemoglobin. Genetic variant rs3736599 in the 5'-untranslated region of SULT1E1 was associated with lower 48 hour methotrexate plasma levels [coef -0.313 (95% CI -0.459 - -0.167); p = 2.60 × 10-5]. Association with methotrexate-induced decreased thrombocyte counts was found for two intronic variants in CYP2B6 {rs4803418 [coef -0.187 (95% CI -0.275 - -0.099); p = 3.04 × 10-5] and rs4803419 [coef -0.186 (95% CI -0.278 - -0.093); p = 8.80 × 10-5]}. An association with increased thrombocyte counts was identified for the intronic variant rs4808326 in CYP4F8 [coef 0.193 (95% CI 0.099 - 0.287); p = 6.02 × 10-5]. Moreover, a secondary analysis with a binary approach using CTCAE toxicity criteria resulted in a nominal significant associations (p < 0.05) for two out of three variants (rs4803418 and rs4808326). This is the first study to identify genetic variants in SULT1E1, CYP2B6, and CYP4F8 to be associated with methotrexate pharmacokinetics and toxicities. Validation of these variants in an independent cohort and further functional investigation of variants in the identified genes is needed to determine if and how they affect methotrexate plasma levels and the development of methotrexate-induced toxicities.

Abstract
PURPOSE High-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) is commonly used for the treatment of osteosarcoma or for CNS involvement in lymphoproliferative neoplasms. It is often given in the inpatient setting because of monitoring requirements after administration. We conducted a process improvement initiative to change our institutional discharge criteria for HD-MTX from 0.05 µmol/L to ≤ 0.1 µmol/L to reduce cost and length of stay (LOS) for this patient population. METHODS After an assessment of drivers of LOS among patients receiving HD-MTX, we identified discharge criteria as an actionable factor. We developed a workflow to discharge patients with 3 days of oral leucovorin and sodium bicarbonate when the methotrexate level reached ≤ 0.1 µmol/L. Patient demographics, chemotherapy regimen, cycle, dose, and LOS data were collected for a 7-month period before and a 4-month period after the intervention. Cost savings were estimated on the basis of the daily cost of a hospital bed at the institution. RESULTS Mean LOS for the pre-intervention and postintervention group was 4.84 days (n = 49) and 3.67 days (n = 42), respectively, resulting in a 24.4% reduction in LOS, with a mean ratio of 0.756 (95% CI, 0.615 to 0.927; P = .007). Reduced LOS resulted in a decrease in cost of $1,828.73 per admission, with a 4-month savings of $76, 806.56 and projected annualized savings of $230,419.67. No patient experienced complications because of the change in discharge criteria. CONCLUSION Liberalizing discharge criteria for HD-MTX was feasible and safe and reduced cost. Additional efforts to reduce LOS for elective chemotherapy admissions or to safely transition some of these complex regimens to the home setting are currently underway at our institution.

Abstract
The field of pharmacogenomics has made great strides in oncology over the last 20 years and indeed a significant number of pre-emptive genetic tests are now routinely undertaken prior to anticancer drug administration. Many of these gene-drug interactions are the fruits of candidate gene and genome-wide association studies, which have largely focused on common genetic variants (allele frequency>1%). Examples where there is clinical utility include genotyping or phenotyping for G6PD to prevent rasburicase-induced RBC haemolysis, and TPMT to prevent thiopurine-induced bone marrow suppression. Other associations such as CYP2D6 status in determining the efficacy of tamoxifen are more controversial because of contradictory evidence from different sources, which has led to variability in the implementation of testing. As genomic technology becomes ever cheaper and more accessible, we must look to the additional data our genome can provide to explain interindividual variability in anticancer drug response. Clearly genes do not act on their own and it is therefore important to investigate genetic factors in conjunction with clinical factors, interacting concomitant drug therapies and other factors such as the microbiome, which can all affect drug disposition. Taking account of all of these factors, in conjunction with the somatic genome, is more likely to provide better predictive accuracy in determining anticancer drug response, both efficacy and safety. This review summarises the existing knowledge related to the pharmacogenomics of anticancer drugs and discusses areas of opportunity for further advances in personalisation of therapy in order to improve both drug safety and efficacy.

Abstract
Whether plasma MTX concentrations and MTHFR C677T and A1298C polymorphisms could be used as a predictor of occurrence of MTX-related toxicities in Korean paediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) were assessed. HD-MTX related toxicities, MTHFR polymorphisms and MTX plasma concentrations following 337 HD-MTX cycles to 117 children with ALL on maintenance therapy were analyzed. A significantly higher frequency of hyperbilirubinemia (P = 0.0443) and renal toxicity (P = 0.0107) were associated with high MTX concentrations by Fisher's exact test. Moreover, high MTX concentrations at 24 h, 48, and 72 h were significantly associated with increased frequency of vomiting (P < 0.05) and hyperbilirubinemia (P < 0.05) by Mann-Whitney U test. There was a significantly higher frequency of mucositis in patients with the MTHFR 677 TT genotype (P = 0.0273) and a significantly higher frequency of MTX dose reduction in patients with the 677 TT genotype (P = 0.0217), compared to the CC/CT genotype. Independently, plasma MTX concentrations and MTHFR C677T genotype could be useful markers for tailoring MTX dosing and monitoring adverse effects in childhood ALL HD-MTX therapy in Korean patients.

Abstract
Methotrexate (MTX) is one of the staples of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) treatment. MTX targets the folate metabolic pathway (FMP). Abnormal function of the enzymes in FMP, due to genetic aberrations, leads to adverse drug reactions. The aim of this study was to investigate variants in pharmacogenes involved in FMP and their association with MTX pharmacokinetics (MTX elimination profile) and toxicity in the consolidation therapy phase of pediatric ALL patients. Eleven variants in the thymidylate synthetase (TYMS), methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), SLC19A1 and SLCO1B genes were analyzed in 148 patients, using PCR- and sequencing-based methodology. For the Serbian and European control groups, data on allele frequency distribution were extracted from in-house and public databases. Our results show that the A allele of SLC19A1 c.80 variant contributes to slow MTX elimination. Additionally, the AA genotype of the same variant is a predictor of MTX-related hepatotoxicity. Patients homozygous for TYMS 6bp deletion were more likely to experience gastrointestinal toxicity. No allele frequency dissimilarity was found for the analyzed variants between Serbian and European populations. Statistical modelling did not show a joint effect of analyzed variants. Our results indicate that SLC19A1 c.80 variant and TYMS 6bp deletion are the most promising pharmacogenomic markers of MTX response in pediatric ALL patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE High-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) is widely used in the treatment of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), but the pharmacokinetic properties of HD-MTX in Chinese adult patients with NHL have not yet been established through an approach that integrates genetic covariates. The purposes of this study were to identify both physiological and pharmacogenomic covariates that can explain the inter- and intraindividual pharmacokinetic variability of MTX in Chinese adult patients with NHL and to explore a new sampling strategy for predicting delayed MTX elimination. METHODS A total of 852 MTX concentrations from 91 adult patients with NHL were analyzed using the nonlinear mixed-effects modeling method. FPGS, GGH, SLCO1B1, ABCB1 and MTHFR were genotyped using the Sequenom MassARRAY technology platform and were screened as covariates. The ability of different sampling strategies to predict the MTX concentration at 72 h was assessed through maximum a posteriori Bayesian forecasting using a validation dataset (18 patients). RESULTS A two-compartment model adequately described the data, and the estimated mean MTX clearance (CL) was 6.03 L/h (9%). Creatinine clearance (CrCL) was identified as a covariate for CL, whereas the intercompartmental clearance (Q) was significantly affected by the body surface area (BSA). However, none of the genotypes exerted a significant effect on the pharmacokinetic properties of MTX. The percentage of patients with concentrations below 0.2 µmol/L at 72 h decreased from 65.6 to 42.6% when the CrCL decreased from 90 to 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 with a scheduled dosing of 3 g/m2, and the same trend was observed with dose regimens of 1 g/m2 and 2 g/m2. Bayesian forecasting using the MTX concentrations at 24 and 42 h provided the best predictive performance for estimating the MTX concentration at 72 h after dosing. CONCLUSIONS The MTX population pharmacokinetic model developed in this study might provide useful information for establishing personalized therapy involving MTX for the treatment of adult patients with NHL.

Polymorphisms of SLC19A1 80 G>A, MTHFR 677 C>T, and Tandem TS Repeats Influence Pharmacokinetics, Acute Liver Toxicity, and Vomiting in Children With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Treated With High Doses of Methotrexate. Front Pediatr 2020; 8:307. [PMID: 32612964 PMCID: PMC7308427 DOI: 10.3389/fped.2020.00307] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2020] [Accepted: 05/13/2020] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction: High dose methotrexate (HD-Mtx) is highly effective and significantly improves overall acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients survival. The pharmacodynamics of Mtx depends on the polymorphism of genes encoding proteins engaged in the folate metabolism pathway. The aim of the current study is to determine the relationship between variants of folate metabolism-related genes and the frequency of acute toxicities of HD-Mtx. Material and Methods: A group of 133 patients aged 1.5-18.1 years (median: 6.3) was treated in accordance with the ALL-IC-2002 and ALL-IC-2009 protocols. The following polymorphisms were determined: 80 G>A SLC19A1 (solute carrier family 19 member 1; rs1051266) with direct DNA sequencing, as well as 677 C>T MTHFR (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase; rs1801133) and the tandem repeats of the TS (thymidylate synthase) with PCR technique. HD-Mtx organ toxicities were evaluated based on the laboratory tests results and the National Cancer Institute criteria. Results: In patients with genotypes AA for SLC19A1 and CC or CT for MTHFR Mtx steady state concentrations (Css) and AUCinf were distinctly higher. In patients with genotype 3R/3R for TS initial elimination rate constant was significantly higher (P = 0.003). Patients receiving Mtx at the dose of 5 g/m2 had lower clearance (4.35 vs. 8.92 L/h/m2) as compared to the ones receiving 2 g/m2 that indicates non-linear Mtx elimination at the higher dose. Liver impairment was the most frequently observed toxicity. The homozygous genotype was associated with a significantly higher incidence of hepatic toxicity for both the SLC19A1 (P = 0.037) and TS (P = 0.002). Logistic regression analysis indicated an increased risk of vomiting for the 2R/3R genotype of the TS gene (OR 3.20, 95% CI 1.33-7.68, P = 0.009) and for vomiting and hepatic toxicity for the 3R/3R genotype (vomiting: OR 3.39, 95% CI 1.12-10.23, P = 0.031; liver toxicity: OR 2.28, 95% CI 1.05-4.95, P = 0.038). None of the acute toxicities differed between the analyzed dosing groups. Conclusions: Determination of polymorphisms of SLC19A1, MTHFR, and TS genes might allow for a better prior selection of patients with higher risk of elevated Mtx levels. Our study is the first one to report the increased risk of hepatotoxicity and vomiting in patients with TS polymorphisms.

Abstract
Hepatic drug transporters are mainly distributed in parenchymal liver cells (hepatocytes), contributing to drug's liver disposition and elimination. According to their functions, hepatic transporters can be roughly divided into influx and efflux transporters, translocating specific molecules from blood into hepatic cytosol and mediating the excretion of drugs and metabolites from hepatic cytosol to blood or bile, respectively. The function of hepatic transport systems can be affected by interspecies differences and inter-individual variability (polymorphism). In addition, some drugs and disease can redistribute transporters from the cell surface to the intracellular compartments, leading to the changes in the expression and function of transporters. Hepatic drug transporters have been associated with the hepatic toxicity of drugs. Gene polymorphism of transporters and altered transporter expressions and functions due to diseases are found to be susceptible factors for drug-induced liver injury (DILI). In this chapter, the localization of hepatic drug transporters, their regulatory factors, physiological roles, and their roles in drug's liver disposition and DILI are reviewed.

Methotrexate Disposition in Pediatric Patients with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: What Have We Learnt From the Genetic Variants of Drug Transporters. Curr Pharm Des 2019; 25:627-634. [PMID: 30931851 DOI: 10.2174/1381612825666190329141003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2019] [Accepted: 03/25/2019] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Background:
Methotrexate (MTX) is one of the leading chemotherapeutic agents with the bestdemonstrated
efficacies against childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Due to the narrow therapeutic
range, significant inter- and intra-patient variabilities of MTX, non-effectiveness and/or toxicity occur abruptly to
cause chemotherapeutic interruption or discontinuation. The relationship between clinical outcome and the systemic
concentration of MTX has been well established, making the monitoring of plasma MTX levels critical in
the treatment of ALL. Besides metabolizing enzymes, multiple transporters are also involved in determining the
intracellular drug levels. In this mini-review, we focused on the genetic polymorphisms of MTX-disposition
related transporters and the potential association between the discussed genetic variants and MTX pharmacokinetics,
efficacy, and toxicity in the context of MTX treatment.
Methods:
We searched PubMed for citations published in English using the terms “methotrexate”, “transporter”,
“acute lymphoblastic leukemia”, “polymorphisms”, and “therapeutic drug monitoring”. The retrieval papers were
critically reviewed and summarized according to the aims of this mini-review.
Results:
Solute carrier (SLC) transporters (SLC19A1, SLCO1A2, SLCO1B1, and SLC22A8) and ATP-binding
cassette (ABC) transporters (ABCB1, ABCC2, ABCC3, ABCC4, ABCC5, and ABCG2) mediate MTX disposition.
Of note, the influences of polymorphisms of SLC19A1, SLCO1B1 and ABCB1 genes on the clinical outcome
of MTX have been extensively studied.
Conclusion:
Overall, the data critically reviewed in this mini-review article confirmed that polymorphisms in the
genes encoding SLC and ABC transporters confer higher sensitivity to altered plasma levels, MTX-induced toxicity,
and therapeutic response in pediatric patients with ALL. Pre-emptive determination may be helpful in individualizing
treatment.

Abstract
Background:In the past two decades, a great body of research has been published regarding the effects of genetic polymorphisms on methotrexate (MTX)-induced toxicity and efficacy. Of particular interest is the role of this compound in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), where it is a pivotal drug in the different treatment protocols, both at low and high doses. MTX acts on a variety of target enzymes in the folates cycle, as well as being transported out and into of the cell by several transmembrane proteins.Methods:We undertook a structured search of bibliographic databases for peer-reviewed research literature using a focused review question.Results:This review has intended to summarize the current knowledge concerning the clinical impact of polymorphisms in enzymes and transporters involved in MTX disposition and mechanism of action on paediatric patients with ALL.Conclusion:In this work, we describe why, in spite of the significant research efforts, pharmacogenetics findings in this setting have not yet found their way into routine clinical practice.

Abstract
Personalized medicine is focused on research disciplines which contribute to the individualization of therapy, like pharmacogenomics and pharmacotranscriptomics. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common malignancy of childhood. It is one of the pediatric malignancies with the highest cure rate, but still a lethal outcome due to therapy accounts for 1%⁻3% of deaths. Further improvement of treatment protocols is needed through the implementation of pharmacogenomics and pharmacotranscriptomics. Emerging high-throughput technologies, including microarrays and next-generation sequencing, have provided an enormous amount of molecular data with the potential to be implemented in childhood ALL treatment protocols. In the current review, we summarized the contribution of these novel technologies to the pharmacogenomics and pharmacotranscriptomics of childhood ALL. We have presented data on molecular markers responsible for the efficacy, side effects, and toxicity of the drugs commonly used for childhood ALL treatment, i.e., glucocorticoids, vincristine, asparaginase, anthracyclines, thiopurines, and methotrexate. Big data was generated using high-throughput technologies, but their implementation in clinical practice is poor. Research efforts should be focused on data analysis and designing prediction models using machine learning algorithms. Bioinformatics tools and the implementation of artificial i Lack of association of the CEP72 rs924607 TT genotype with intelligence are expected to open the door wide for personalized medicine in the clinical practice of childhood ALL.

Abstract
The organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs) are a superfamily of drug transporters involved in the uptake and disposition of a wide array of structurally divergent endogenous and exogenous substrates, including steroid hormones, bile acids, and commonly used drugs, such as anti-infectives, antihypertensives, and cholesterol lowering agents. In the past decade, OATPs, primarily OATP1A2, OATP1B1, and OATP1B3, have emerged as potential mediators of chemotherapy disposition, including drugs such as methotrexate, doxorubicin, paclitaxel, docetaxel, irinotecan and its important metabolite 7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin, and certain tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Furthermore, OATP family members are polymorphic and numerous studies have shown OATP variants to have differential uptake, disposition, and/or pharmacokinetics of numerous drug substrates with important implications for interindividual differences in efficacy and toxicity. Additionally, certain OATPs have been found to be overexpressed in a variety of human solid tumors, including breast, liver, colon, pancreatic, and ovarian cancers, suggesting potential roles for OATPs in tumor development and progression and as novel targets for cancer therapy. This review focuses on the emerging roles for selected OATPs in cancer pharmacology, including preclinical and clinical studies suggesting roles in chemotherapy disposition, the pharmacogenetics of OATPs in cancer therapy, and OATP overexpression in various tumor tissues with implications for OATPs as therapeutic targets.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION High-dose methotrexate (at least 1g/m2) is used to treat haematologic malignancies and osteosarcomas. Acute kidney injury is a well-known adverse-event after high-dose methotrexate and may lead to delayed drug elimination. Besides usual therapeutics (hyperhydration, urine alkalinisation, leucovorin rescue, renal replacement therapy), a costly specific enzymatic treatment (glucarpidase) is now available but its clinical impact remains elusive. PATIENTS AND METHODS We analysed high-dose methotrexate prescription charts in 11 clinical centres during the last 15 years to identify and describe adult patients who developed acute kidney injury (according to KDIGO classification). Glucarpidase use was recorded (French temporary regulatory approval criteria: methotrexate at least 10μmol/L at 48h or at least 3μmol/L at 48h associated with acute kidney injury). RESULTS Seventy-six acute kidney injury cases have been studied. Mean peak creatinine was 206μmol/L after a mean delay of 5.6 days, with 19 cases of stage 1 acute kidney injury (25%), 29 cases of stage 2 (38%) and 27 cases of stage 3 (36%). Anuria (one case) and need for renal replacement therapy (four cases) were unusual whereas fluid overload was often observed (29%). Three months after high-dose methotrexate treatment, mortality-rate was 17%, and 12% of surviving patients developed renal sequelae. CONCLUSION Sixty-one percent of patients received a glucarpidase perfusion during acute kidney injury. Despite a dramatic decrease of methotrexate serum levels, glucarpidase as compared with conservative treatment did not modify acute kidney injury stage, recovery delay, need for renal replacement therapy or the incidence of extrarenal toxicities. Net clinical benefit was not observed even after stratification according to eligibility criteria for glucarpidase use. Glucarpidase has probably no or little effects on methotrexate localized into tubular lumen or proximal tubular cells and that may account for the absence of nephroprotective effect for enzymatic treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Therapy discontinuations and toxicities occur because of significant interindividual variations in 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) and methotrexate (MTX) response during maintenance therapy of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). 6-MP/MTX intolerance in some of the patients cannot be explained by thiopurine S-methyl transferase (TPMT) gene variants. In this study, we aimed to investigate candidate pharmacogenetic determinants of 6-MP and MTX intolerance in Turkish ALL children. METHODS In total, 48 children with ALL who had completed or were receiving maintenance therapy according to Children's Oncology Group (COG) protocols were enrolled. Fifteen single-nucleotide polymorphisms in 8 candidate genes that were related to drug toxicity or had a role in the 6-MP/MTX metabolism (TPMT, ITPA, MTHFR, IMPDH2, PACSIN2, SLCO1B1, ABCC4, and PYGL) were genotyped by competitive allele-specific PCR (KASP). Drug doses during maintenance therapy were modified according to the protocol. RESULTS The median drug dose intensity was 50% (28% to 92%) for 6-MP and 58% (27% to 99%) for MTX in the first year of maintenance therapy, which were lower than that scheduled in all patients. Among the analyzed polymorphisms, variant alleles in SLCO1B1 rs4149056 and rs11045879 were found to be associated with lower 6-MP/MTX tolerance. CONCLUSIONS SLCO1B1 rs4149056 and rs11045879 polymorphisms may be important genetic markers to individualize 6-MP/MTX doses.

Abstract
High-dose methotrexate (HDMTX) plays an important role in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) although there is great inter-patient variability in the efficacy and toxicity of MTX. The relationship between polymorphisms in genes encoding MTX transporters and MTX response is controversial. In the present study, 322 Chinese children with standard- and intermediate-risk ALL were genotyped for 12 polymorphisms. SLCO1B1 rs10841753 showed a significant association with plasma MTX levels at 48 h (P = 0.017). Patients who had the ABCB1 rs1128503 C allele had longer duration of hospitalization than did those with the TT genotype (P = 0.006). No association was found between oral mucositis and any polymorphism. Long-term outcome was worse in patients with the SLCO1B1 rs4149056 CC genotype than in patients with TT or TC (5-year event-free survival [EFS] 33.3 ± 19.2% vs. 90.5 ± 1.7%, P < 0.001), and was worse in patients with the SCL19A1 rs2838958 AA genotype than in patients with AG or GG (5-year EFS 78.5 ± 4.6% vs. 92.2 ± 1.8%, P = 0.008). Multiple Cox regression analyses revealed associations of minimal residual disease (MRD) at day 33 (hazard ratio 3.458; P = 0.002), MRD at day 78 (hazard ratio 6.330; P = 0.001), SLCO1B1 rs4149056 (hazard ratio 12.242; P < 0.001), and SCL19A1 rs2838958 (hazard ratio 2.324; P = 0.019) with EFS. Our findings show that polymorphisms in genes encoding MTX transporters substantially influence the kinetics and response to HDMTX therapy in childhood ALL.

Abstract
Many paediatric patients with cancer experience significant chemotherapy side effects. Predisposition to drug reactions is governed by single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). We performed a systematic review of the literature from 2006 through 2016. Outcomes of interest included patient characteristics, cancer type drug of interest, genes investigated, toxicity identified and genetic polymorphisms implicated. The primary toxicities studied were neurotoxicity cardiotoxicity, osteonecrosis, and thromboembolism and hypersensitivity reactions. The retrieved studies were grouped according to toxicity reported and SNP associations. This review highlights the discoveries to date in pharmacogenomics and paediatric oncology along with highlighting some of the important limitations in the area.

Abstract
The U.S. President Barack Obama has announced, in his State of the Union address on January 20, 2015, the Precision Medicine Initiative, a US$215-million program. For global precision medicine to become a reality, however, biological and environmental "variome" in previously understudied populations ought to be mapped and catalogued. Chief among the molecular targets that warrant global mapping is the organic anion-transporting polypeptide 1B1 (OATP1B1), encoded by solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 1B1 (SLCO1B1), a hepatic uptake transporter predominantly expressed in the basolateral side of hepatocytes. Human OATP1B1 plays a crucial role in the transport of a wide variety of substrates. This includes endogenous compounds such as bile salts as well as medicines, including benzylpenicillin, methotrexate, pravastatin, and rifampicin, and natural toxins microcystin and phalloidin. Genetic variations observed in the SLCO1B1 gene have been associated with altered in vitro and in vivo OATP1B1 transport activity, and consequently influencing patients' response to medicines, toxins, and susceptibility to common complex diseases. Well-characterized haplotypes, *5 (RS4149056C) and *15 (RS4149056T), have been associated with a strikingly reduced uptake of multiple OATP1B1 substrates, including estrone-3-sulfate, estradiol-17β-d-glucuronide, atorvastatin, cerivastatin, pravastatin, and rifampicin. In particular, RS4149056C is observed in 60% of the Cape admixed (CA) population and is associated with increased plasma concentrations of many statins as well as fexofenadine and repaglinide. We designed and optimized a SNaPshot minisequencing panel to characterize the variants of relevance for precision medicine in the clinic. We report here the first study on allele and genotype frequencies for 10 nonsynonymous, 4 synonymous, and 6 intronic single-nucleotide polymorphisms of SLCO1B1 in the Zulu and CA populations of South Africa. These variants are further contextualized here, in relation to their potential clinical relevance. These observations collectively contribute to current efforts to advance global precision medicine in understudied populations and resource-limited regions of the world.

Abstract
Childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia survival rates have increased remarkably during last decades due, in part, to intensive treatment protocols. However, therapy resistance and toxicity are still two important barriers to survival. In this context, pharmacoepigenetics arises as a tool to identify new predictive markers, required to guide clinicians on risk stratification and dose individualization. The present study reviews current evidence about miRNA implication on childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia therapy resistance and toxicity. A total of 12 studies analyzing differential miRNA expression in relation to drug resistance and six studies exploring the association between miRNAs-related SNPs and drug-induced toxicities were identified. We pointed out to miR-125b together with miR-99a and/or miR-100 overexpression as markers of vincristine resistance and rs2114358 in mir-1206 as mucositis marker as the most promising results.

Endogenous Metabolites-Mediated Communication Between OAT1/OAT3 and OATP1B1 May Explain the Association Between SLCO1B1 SNPs and Methotrexate Toxicity. Clin Pharmacol Ther 2018; 104:687-698.

Abstract
Although OATP1B1 is not expressed in the kidney, polymorphisms in SLCO1B1 have been associated with methotrexate clearance or toxicity. This unexpected pharmacogenetic association may reflect remote communication between liver and kidney transporters. This study confirms the pharmacogenetic association with methotrexate toxicity in adult patients with hematological malignancies. Using a targeted urinary metabolomics approach, we identified 38 and 34 metabolites which were differentially excreted between wildtype and carriers of the c.388A>G or c.521T>C variant alleles, respectively, half of them being associated with methotrexate toxicity. These metabolites mainly consisted of fatty acid derivatives and microbiota catabolites, including glycine conjugates and other uremic toxins, all known OATs substrates. These results suggest that dysfunction of a transporter affects the excretion profile of endogenous or exogenous substrates, possibly through metabolite-mediated interactions involving other transport systems, even in distant organs. This opens the way for better comprehension of complex pharmacokinetics and transporter-mediated drug-drug or nutrient-drug interactions.

Abstract
Methotrexate (MTX) is an antifolate agent used in the treatment of numerous types of cancer, and eliminated by active tubular secretion via organic anion transporter 3 (OAT3). Gastric antisecretory drugs, such as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and histamine H2 receptor antagonists, are widely used among patients with cancer in clinical practice. The aim of the present study was to analyse the potential drug-drug interactions between MTX and gastric antisecretory drugs in high-dose MTX (HD-MTX) therapy. The impact of PPIs on the plasma MTX concentration on 73 cycles of HD-MTX therapy was analysed retrospectively in 43 patients. Also investigated was the involvement of OAT3 in PPI-MTX drug interaction in an in vitro study using human OAT3 expressing HEK293 cells. In a retrospective study, patients who received a PPI had significantly higher MTX levels at 48 h (0.38 vs. 0.15 μmol l-1 , respectively, p = 0.000018) and 72 h (0.13 vs. 0.05 μmol l-1 , respectively, p = 0.0002) compared with patients who did not receive a PPI (but received famotidine). Moreover, in vitro experiments demonstrated that PPIs (esomeprazole, lansoprazole, omeprazole and rabeprazole) inhibited hOAT3-mediated uptake of MTX in a concentration-dependent manner (IC50 values of 0.40-5.5 μ m), with a rank order of lansoprazole > esomeprazole > rabeprazole > omeprazole. In contrast to PPIs, famotidine showed little inhibitory effect on hOAT3-mediated MTX uptake. These results demonstrated that co-administration of PPI, but not famotidine, could result in a pharmacokinetic interaction that increases the plasma MTX levels, at least in part, via hOAT3 inhibition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The pharmacokinetics and therapeutic response to methotrexate (MTX) display large variability in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The aim of the present study was to investigate the association of two microRNA (miRNA) binding site polymorphisms (rs3737966 G > A and rs35134728 DEL/TTC) in the 3'-untranslated region of MTHFR with serum MTX concentrations, in a Chinese pediatric population with ALL. METHODS Genotyping for MTHFR rs3737966 and rs35134728 in 144 children with ALL was performed using the Sequenom MassArray system (Sequenom, San Diego, CA, USA). Serum MTX concentrations were measured by a fluorescence polarization immunoassay 24 h (C24h ) and 42 h (C42h ) after administration. The effects of the polymorphisms on concentration-to-dose (C/D) ratios of MTX were assessed. RESULTS Complete linkage disequilibrium between rs3737966 and rs35134728 polymorphisms (r2 = 1) was found in the study population. The minor allele frequency observed in the present study (17.4%) was significantly lower than those in European and African samples reported in the 1000 Genomes Project (42.9% and 63.9%, respectively; p < 0.01). The C/D ratios of MTX at 24 and 42 h for the TTC/TTC-A/A haplotype carriers (11.74 and 0.07 μmol/l per g/m2 , respectively) were significantly lower than those in DEL/DEL-G/G or DEL/TTC-G/G haplotype carriers (12.49 and 0.09 μmol/l per g/m2 , respectively; p < 0.05). Computational predictions suggested that the two polymorphisms overlapped with putative binding sites of several miRNAs. CONCLUSIONS The rs3737966 and rs35134728 polymorphisms in MTHFR were associated with serum MTX concentrations. The findings of the present study indicate that miRNAs might be involved in the post-transcriptional regulation of MTHFR.

Rodieux F, Gotta V, Pfister M, van den Anker JN. Causes and Consequences of Variability in Drug Transporter Activity in Pediatric Drug Therapy. J Clin Pharmacol 2017; 56 Suppl 7:S173-92. [PMID: 27385174 DOI: 10.1002/jcph.721] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2015] [Revised: 01/26/2016] [Accepted: 02/11/2016] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
Drug transporters play a key role in mediating the uptake of endo- and exogenous substances into cells as well as their efflux. Therefore, variability in drug transporter activity can influence pharmaco- and toxicokinetics and be a determinant of drug safety and efficacy. In children, particularly in neonates and young infants, the contribution of tissue-specific drug transporters to drug absorption, distribution, and excretion may differ from that in adults. In this review 5 major factors and their interdependence that may influence drug transporter activity in children are discussed: developmental differences, genetic polymorphisms, pediatric comorbidities, interacting comedication, and environmental factors. Even if data are sparse, altered drug transporter activity due to those factors have been associated with clinically relevant differences in drug disposition, efficacy, and safety in pediatric patients. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in drug transporter-encoding genes were the most studied source of drug transporter variability in children. However, in the age group where drug transporter activity has been reported to differ from that in adults, namely neonates and young infants, hardly any studies have been performed. Longitudinal studies in this young population are required to investigate the age- and disease-dependent genotype-phenotype relationships and relevance of drug transporter drug-drug interactions. Physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling approaches can integrate drug- and patient-specific parameters, including drug transporter ontogeny, and may further improve in silico predictions of pediatric-specific pharmacokinetics.

Relationship Between Polymorphisms in Methotrexate Pathway Genes and Outcome of Methotrexate Treatment in a Cohort of 119 Patients with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis. J Rheumatol 2017; 44:1216-1223. [PMID: 28572465 DOI: 10.3899/jrheum.160950] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 04/05/2017] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify clinical and pharmacogenetic determinants of efficacy and toxicity of methotrexate (MTX) in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) over time. METHODS A cohort of 119 consecutive patients with JIA treated with MTX was reviewed. The Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score including 71 joints was used to measure disease activity. Nonresponders were patients who did not reach a minimum of 30% improvement after 6 months of treatment or were switched to biologic drugs in the first 6 months because of inefficacy. All adverse events (AE) were noted. Genotyping of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the genes coding for MTX transporters, folate pathway, and adenosine pathway was performed using real-time PCR methods. Univariate and multivariable penalized logistic and Cox regression were used to analyze data. RESULTS Thirty patients (25.8%) were defined as nonresponders and 55 (47.2%) were switched to biologics during the followup. Sixty-five patients (54.5%) reported AE in a total of 405 patient-years, and 10 patients (8.4%) discontinued MTX because of AE. AMPD1 rs17602729 and MTHFD1 rs2236225 were associated with gastrointestinal AE while the latter together with MTRR rs1801394 also demonstrated associations with developing hepatoxicity. MTHFR rs1801131, ABCG2 rs2231137, wild-type of MTR rs1805087, and wild-type of ABCC2 rs2273697 were identified as potential markers for discontinuing MTX treatment because of AE. MTHFR rs1801133, MTRR rs1801394, and ABCC2 rs2273697 were associated with switching to biologics. CONCLUSION SNP in different MTX metabolic pathways influence treatment with MTX. Genetic variability is a better marker for toxicity than efficacy.

Abstract
Despite the significant advances achieved in pediatric acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) treatment, adverse side effects of drugs remain a challenging issue. Numerous ALL pharmacogenomic studies have been conducted to elucidate the predisposing genetic factors for their development. Plausible pharmacogenomic data are available for the osteonecrosis associated with glucocorticoids, the neurotoxicity associated with vincristine and the cardiotoxicity related to anthracyclines. However, these data have not been fully translated into the clinic due to several limitations, most importantly the lack of reliable evidence. The most robust pharmacogenomics data are those for thiopurines and methotrexate use, with evidence-based preemptive testing recommendations for the former. Pharmacogenomics has a significant potential utility in pediatric ALL treatment regimens. In this review, gaps and limitations in this field are emphasized, which may provide a useful guide for future research design.
