Abstract
OBJECTIVE Several population pharmacokinetic models of tacrolimus in liver transplant patients were built, and their predictability was evaluated in their settings. However, the extrapolation in the prediction was unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the predictive performance of published tacrolimus models in adult liver transplant recipients using data from the Thai population as an external dataset. METHODS The selected published models were systematically searched and evaluated for their quality. The external dataset of patients who underwent the first liver transplant and received immediate-release tacrolimus was used to assess the predictive performance of each selected model. Trough concentrations between 3 and 6 months were retrospectively collected to evaluate the predictability of each model using prediction-based diagnostics, simulation-based diagnostics, and Bayesian forecasting. RESULTS Sixty-seven patients with 360 trough concentrations and eight selected published models were included in this study. None of the models met the predictive precision criteria in prediction-based diagnostics. Meanwhile, four published population pharmacokinetic models showed a normal distribution in NPDE testing. Regarding Bayesian forecasting, all models improved their forecasts with at least one prior information data point. CONCLUSION Bayesian forecasting is more accurate and precise than other testing methods for predicting drug concentrations. However, none of the evaluated models provides satisfactory predictive performance for generalization to Thai liver transplant patients. This underscores the need for future research to develop population PK models tailored to the Thai population. Such efforts should consider the inclusion of nonlinear pharmacokinetics and region-specific factors, including genetic variability, to improve model accuracy and applicability.

Improving prediction of tacrolimus concentration using a combination of population pharmacokinetic modeling and machine learning in chinese renal transplant recipients. Front Pharmacol 2024; 15:1389271.

Abstract
Aims The population pharmacokinetic (PPK) model-based machine learning (ML) approach offers a novel perspective on individual concentration prediction. This study aimed to establish a PPK-based ML model for predicting tacrolimus (TAC) concentrations in Chinese renal transplant recipients. Methods Conventional TAC monitoring data from 127 Chinese renal transplant patients were divided into training (80%) and testing (20%) datasets. A PPK model was developed using the training group data. ML models were then established based on individual pharmacokinetic data derived from the PPK basic model. The prediction performances of the PPK-based ML model and Bayesian forecasting approach were compared using data from the test group. Results The final PPK model, incorporating hematocrit and CYP3A5 genotypes as covariates, was successfully established. Individual predictions of TAC using the PPK basic model, postoperative date, CYP3A5 genotype, and hematocrit showed improved rankings in ML model construction. XGBoost, based on the TAC PPK, exhibited the best prediction performance. Conclusion The PPK-based machine learning approach emerges as a superior option for predicting TAC concentrations in Chinese renal transplant recipients.

Abstract
The gradual evolution of pharmacogenomics has shed light on the genetic basis for inter-individual drug response variations across diverse populations. This study aimed to identify pharmacogenomic variants that differ in Zhuang population compared with other populations and investigate their potential clinical relevance in gene-drug and genotypic-phenotypic associations. A total of 48 variants from 24 genes were genotyped in 200 Zhuang subjects using the Agena MassARRAY platform. The allele frequencies and genotype distribution data of 26 populations were obtained from the 1000 Genomes Project, followed by a comparison and statistical analysis. After Bonferroni correction, significant differences in genotype frequencies were observed of CYP3A5 (rs776746), ACE (rs4291), KCNH2 (rs1805123), and CYP2D6 (rs1065852) between the Zhuang population and the other 26 populations. It was also found that the Chinese Dai in Xishuangbanna, China, Han Chinese in Beijing, China, and Southern Han Chinese, China showed least deviation from the Zhuang population. The Esan in Nigeria, Gambian in Western Division, The Gambia, and Yoruba in Ibadan, Nigeria exhibited the largest differences. This was also proved by structural analysis, Fst analysis and phylogenetic tree. Furthermore, these differential variants may be associated with the pharmacological efficacy and toxicity of Captopril, Amlodipine, Lisinopril, metoclopramide, and alpha-hydroxymetoprolol in the Zhuang population. Our study has filled the gap of pharmacogenomic information in the Zhuang population and has provided a theoretical framework for the secure administration of drugs in the Zhuang population.

Abstract
Tacrolimus is metabolized by cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) and is susceptible to interactions with the CYP3A and P-glycoprotein inducer St. John's Wort (SJW). CYP3A isozymes are predominantly expressed in the small intestine and liver. Prolonged-release tacrolimus (PR-Tac) is largely absorbed in distal intestinal segments and is less susceptible to CYP3A inhibition. The effect of induction by SJW is unknown. In this randomized, crossover trial, 18 healthy volunteers received single oral tacrolimus doses (immediate-release [IR]-Tac or PR-Tac, 5 mg each) alone and during induction by SJW. Concentrations were quantified using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry and non-compartmental pharmacokinetics were evaluated. SJW decreased IR-Tac exposure (area under the concentration-time curve) to 73% (95% confidence interval 60%-88%) and maximum concentration (Cmax ) to 61% (52%-73%), and PR-Tac exposure to 67% (55%-81%) and Cmax to 69% (58%-82%), with no statistical difference between the 2 formulations. The extent of interaction appeared to be less pronounced in volunteers with higher baseline CYP3A4 activity and in CYP3A5 expressors. In contrast to CYP3A inhibition, CYP3A induction by SJW showed a similar extent of interaction with both tacrolimus formulations. A higher metabolic baseline capacity appeared to attenuate the extent of induction by SJW.

Abstract
The human microbiome is associated with human health and disease. Exogenous compounds, including pharmaceutical products, are also known to be affected by the microbiome, and this discovery has led to the field of pharmacomicobiomics. The microbiome can also alter drug pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, possibly resulting in side effects, toxicities, and unanticipated disease response. Microbiome-mediated effects are referred to as drug-microbiome interactions (DMI). Rapid advances in the field of pharmacomicrobiomics have been driven by the availability of efficient bacterial genome sequencing methods and new computational and bioinformatics tools. The success of fecal microbiota transplantation for recurrent Clostridioides difficile has fueled enthusiasm and research in the field. This review focuses on the pharmacomicrobiome in transplantation. Alterations in the microbiome in transplant recipients are well documented, largely because of prophylactic antibiotic use, and the potential for DMI is high. There is evidence that the gut microbiome may alter the pharmacokinetic disposition of tacrolimus and result in microbiome-specific tacrolimus metabolites. The gut microbiome also impacts the enterohepatic recirculation of mycophenolate, resulting in substantial changes in pharmacokinetic disposition and systemic exposure. The mechanisms of these DMI and the specific bacteria or communities of bacteria are under investigation. There are little or no human DMI data for cyclosporine A, corticosteroids, and sirolimus. The available evidence in transplantation is limited and driven by small studies of heterogeneous designs. Larger clinical studies are needed, but the potential for future clinical application of the pharmacomicrobiome in avoiding poor outcomes is high.

Abstract
The influence of adaptive evolution on disease susceptibility has drawn attention; however, the extent of the influence, whether favored mutations also influence drug responses, and whether the associations between the three are population-specific remain unknown. Using a reported deep learning network to integrate seven statistical tests for detecting selection signals, we predicted favored mutations in the genomes of 17 human populations and integrated these favored mutations with reported GWAS sites and drug response-related variants into the database PopTradeOff (http://www.gaemons.net/PopFMIntro). The database also contains genome annotation information on the SNP, sequence, gene, and pathway levels. The preliminary data analyses suggest that substantial associations exist between adaptive evolution, disease susceptibility, and drug responses and that the associations are highly population-specific. The database may be valuable for disease studies, drug development, and personalized medicine.

GRWR Correlates with the Metabolism of Tacrolimus after Pediatric Living Donor Liver Transplantation According to Donor CYP3A5 Polymorphism. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 2022:7647754.

Abstract
Objectives. Tacrolimus is characterized by high pharmacokinetic variability in combination with a narrow therapeutic range. However, influence of donor CYP3A5 genotype and graft-to-recipient body weight ratio (GRWR) on tacrolimus’ pharmacokinetics after pediatric living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) remains unclear. Methods. A total of 174 LDLT recipients (<6 y) were grouped according to donor CYP3A5 genotypes (nonexpressor (NEX) or expressor (EX)) and GRWR (<3.0% (SS, small-size) or ≥3.0% (LS, large-size)): SS/NEX (
), SS/EX (
), LS/NEX (
), and LS/EX (
). Pharmacokinetics of tacrolimus and clinical outcomes were analyzed. Results. The relationships between the concentration-dose ratio and donor CYP3A5 genotypes and graft size were examined 3, 7, 14, and 30 days after the transplantation. Tacrolimus C0 levels varied greatly among groups, although recipients started with the same initial dosage. LS/EX recipients had significantly lower C0 levels in comparison with those of other groups. The use of CYP3A5-EX-grafts and a greater GRWR both resulted in significantly higher TAC dose requirements and lower C/D ratios. However, the significance of GRWR no longer exists 3 months after transplantation. The multivariate generalized linear mixed model analysis showed that donor CYP3A5 genotypes (
;
) and GRWR (
;
) were independent impact factors for C/D ratios 3, 7, 14, and 30 days after transplantation. Donor CYP3A5-EX genotype was associated with significantly increasing risks of infectious complications and significantly lower Cylex ATP values. However, no significant difference was observed in acute rejections among 4 groups. Conclusions. Monitoring of C0 levels alone is not reliable to guide tacrolimus administration. Donor CYP3A5 and GRWR both significantly affect tacrolimus pharmacokinetics after pediatric LDLT. The use of Cylex ATP tests would be helpful to avoid overimmunosuppression.

Abstract
AbstractThe objective of this study was to assess the effect of the very low dosage of diltiazem on tacrolimus exposure during the first week post-kidney transplantation, among cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A5 expressers who did not receive diltiazem (EXplb), CYP3A5 expressers who received the very low dose diltiazem (EXdtz), CYP3A5 nonexpressers who did not receive diltiazem (NEplb), and CYP3A5 nonexpressers who received the very low dose diltiazem (NEdtz). Forty kidney recipients who receive tacrolimus-based immunosuppressive regimen were randomly assigned, with stratification on the CYP3A5 genotypes, to receive either diltiazem 30 mg every 12 h or a matched placebo. The observed median dose-adjusted area under the 12-h curve of tacrolimus concentration (AUC/D) at day 7 post-transplantation was lowest in the EXplb group followed by EXdtz, NEplb, and NEdtz at 34.9, 43.6, 49.4, and 71.1 ng*h/mL per mg, respectively. A Kruskal–Wallis test showed a significant difference in the mean ranks of AUC/D among groups. Significant differences between EXplb and NEplb, and between EXplb and NEdtz were demonstrated, whereas no sufficient evidence of significant differences was detected between the other pairs. In conclusion, coadministration of diltiazem 30 mg twice daily may be advantageous for increasing tacrolimus exposure early after kidney transplantation among CYP3A5 expressers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pharmacogenomics has been widely used to study the very important pharmacogenetic (VIP) variants among populations, but information on pharmacogenomics in the Lahu population is limited. The purpose of this study was to determine the differences in the distribution of VIP variants between the Lahu and the other 26 populations. METHODS We genotyped 55 VIP variants of 27 genes in the Lahu population from the PharmGKB database. χ2 test was used to compare the genotype and allele frequencies between the Lahu and the other 26 populations from the 1000 Genomes Project. RESULTS The genotype and allele frequencies of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on rs20417 (PTGS2), rs776746 (CYP3A5), rs2115819 (ALOX5), and rs3093105 (CYP4F2) were considerably different in the Lahu population compared with those in the other 26 populations. Besides, based on the PharmGKB database, we identified several VIP variants that may alter the drug metabolism of aspirin (PTGS2), tacrolimus (CYP3A5), montelukast (ALOX5), and vitamin E (CYP4F2). CONCLUSION The results show that there are significant differences in the genotype frequency distribution between the Lahu and the other 26 populations. Our study supplements the pharmacogenomics information of the Lahu population and provides a theoretical basis for individualized medicine in Lahu.

Abstract
At the outset of solid organ transplantation, genetic variation between donors and recipients was recognized as a major player in mechanisms such as allograft tolerance and rejection. Genome-wide association studies have been very successful in identifying novel variant-trait associations, but have been difficult to perform in the field of solid organ transplantation due to complex covariates, era effects, and poor statistical power for detecting donor-recipient interactions. To overcome a lack of statistical power, consortia such as the International Genetics and Translational Research in Transplantation Network have been established. Studies have focused on the consequences of genetic dissimilarities between donors and recipients and have reported associations between polymorphisms in candidate genes or their regulatory regions with transplantation outcomes. However, knowledge on the exact influence of genetic variation is limited due to a lack of comprehensive characterization and harmonization of recipients' or donors' phenotypes and validation using an experimental approach. Causal research in genetics has evolved from agnostic discovery in genome-wide association studies to functional annotation and clarification of underlying molecular mechanisms in translational studies. In this overview, we summarize how the recent advances and progresses in the field of genetics and genomics have improved the understanding of outcomes after solid organ transplantation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In the era of quality management in clinical laboratories, method validation can be a challenge without appropriate guidelines, such as in the field of pharmacogenetics. The present work describes a method validation for DNA extraction and CYP3A5*3 genotyping, which would meet ISO15189:2012 requirements. METHODS DNA extraction was performed using a QIAamp DSP DNA Blood kit, DNA purity and concentration were determined using a Nanodrop, and the genotyping assay was a real-rime PCR using TaqMan reagents. Validation criteria were similar to those usually verified when validating methods in the analytical field: specificity, sensitivity, cross-over contamination, stability of reagents, robustness, lower and upper limits of detection, and between-run and within-run precisions. A comparison to alternate or reference methods was also performed (i.e. QiAamp kit versus DNA extractor and TaqMan genotyping versus Sanger sequencing). Each validation step is described from the pharmacogenetic point of view, as well as acceptance criteria for both DNA extraction [i.e. concentration relative SD (RSD) below 25%, verified purity, and no DNA in blank samples] and genotyping assay (i.e. specificity and diagnostic sensitivity, RSD of mean threshold cycle below 15%, no amplification in blank samples). RESULTS Concerning CYP3A5 genotyping following a DNA extraction described as an example, validation criteria were met, allowing routine use of this analytical process. Cost estimation of the overall validation procedure was approximately 290 euros, concerning reagents and consumables. CONCLUSION This work aims to provide a reference for method validation for pharmacogenetic analysis using real-time PCR to detect single nucleotide polymorphisms, in accordance with ISO15189:2012.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the influence of genetic polymorphisms of drug-metabolizing enzyme genes, transporter gene, pathological gene (APOE), and non-genetic factors on therapeutic outcomes as well as steady-state plasma concentrations (Cpss) of galantamine in Thai patients with mixed dementia. METHODS Fifty-one Thai patients with mixed dementia who received galantamine for at least 6 months were recruited. CYP2D6, CYP3A5, and ABCB1 polymorphisms were detected by TaqMan® Genotyping Assay. UGT1A1 and APOE polymorphism was detected by direct Sanger sequencing technique and restriction fragment length polymorphism technique. Cpss of galantamine was measured by ultra-performance liquid chromatography. Associations of genetic and non-genetic factors with Cpss and clinical outcomes (change in cognitive function as measured by the Thai Mental State Examination (ΔTMSE) scores) were determined by using univariate and multivariate analysis. RESULTS The multivariate regression model revealed that patients who carried one or more detrimental allelic variant (CYP2D6, CYP3A5, and UGT1A1) showed a tendency toward a higher galantamine adjusted Cpss (B = 34.559, 95% CI = 0.741-68.377, p value = 0.045). Logistic regression analysis also revealed CYP2D6*10 carriers were significantly associated with higher ΔTMSE (B = 5.227, 95% CI = 2.395-8.060, p value = 0.001). UGT1A1 mutant alleles and non-genetic factors including concomitant use of statin drugs and higher education level can attenuate therapeutic outcomes of galantamine. CONCLUSION Pharmacokinetic-related genes including CYP2D6*10 and UGT1A1 mutant alleles were significantly associated with galantamine adjusted Cpss and cognitive function. Determination of Cpss and genotype could be an adjunct examination to provide further explanation in interindividual variability of galantamine therapeutic outcome.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes, such as CYP3A4, and CYP3A5, P450 oxidoreductase (POR), peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha (PPAR-alpha), and drug transporter (ABCB1) were observed to influence concentrations of immunosuppressants (cyclosporine, everolimus, sirolimus, and tacrolimus) and outcomes in renal transplants. We carried out the present study to evaluate the prevalence and impact of these single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in adult renal transplants. SNPs were evaluated using commercial TaqMan® assays. Serum drug concentrations were estimated using immunoassays. One hundred and forty-six patients were recruited. SNPs in CYP3A5*3 were significantly associated with greater dose-adjusted cyclosporine and tacrolimus concentrations. SNPs in POR*28 were observed with significantly lower dose-adjusted concentrations, particularly with cyclosporine and tacrolimus. ABCB1 homozygous polymorphisms were observed with significantly lower time spent in the therapeutic range with cyclosporine and everolimus/sirolimus. Cyclosporine was observed in a significantly greater proportion of patients with elevated GGT, and SNPs in PPAR-alpha were significantly associated with an increased risk of this adverse event. Hypertriglyceridemia with everolimus was significantly associated with POR*28 polymorphisms. There is a need to validate the influence of these SNPs in a prospective study and develop an algorithm predicting the achievement of target concentrations.

Machine learning-based method for tacrolimus dose predictions in Chinese kidney transplant perioperative patients. J Clin Pharm Ther 2021; 47:600-608. [PMID: 34802160 DOI: 10.1111/jcpt.13579] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2021] [Revised: 10/28/2021] [Accepted: 11/11/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVES Tacrolimus (TAC), a first-line immunosuppressant in solid-organ transplant, has a narrow therapeutic window and large inter-individual variability, which affects its use in clinical practice. Successful predictions using machine learning algorithms have been reported in several fields. However, a comparison of 10 machine learning model-based TAC pharmacogenetic and pharmacokinetic dosing algorithms for kidney transplant perioperative patients of Chinese descent has not been reported. The objective of this study was to screen and establish an appropriate machine learning method to predict the individualized dosages of TAC for perioperative kidney transplant patients. METHODS The records of 2551 patients were collected from three transplant centres, 80% of which were randomly selected as a 'derivation cohort' to develop the dose prediction algorithm, while the remaining 20% constituted a 'validation cohort' to validate the final algorithm selected. Important features were screened according to our previously established population pharmacokinetic model of tacrolimus. The performances of the algorithms were evaluated and compared using R-squared and the mean percentage in the remaining 20% of patients. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION This study identified several factors influencing TAC dosage, including CYP3A5 rs776746, CYP3A4 rs4646437, haematocrit, Wuzhi capsules, TAC daily dose, age, height, weight, post-operative time, nifedipine and the medication history of the patient. According to our results, among the 10 machine learning models, the extra trees regressor (ETR) algorithm showed the best performance in the training set (R-squared: 1, mean percentage within 20%: 100%) and test set (R-squared: 0.85, mean percentage within 20%: 92.77%) of the derivation cohort. The ETR model successfully predicted the ideal TAC dosage in 97.73% of patients, especially in the intermediate dosage range (>5 mg/day to <8 mg/day), whereby the ideal TAC dosage could be successfully predicted in 99% of the patients. WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSION The results indicated that the ETR algorithm, which was chosen to establish the dose prediction model, performed better than the other nine machine learning models. This study is the first to establish ETR algorithms to predict TAC dosage. This study will further promote the individualized medication of TAC in kidney transplant patients in the future, which has great significance in ensuring the safety and effectiveness of drug use.

Trans-eQTLs of the CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 associated with tacrolimus trough blood concentration in Chinese renal transplant patients. Biomed Pharmacother 2021; 145:112407. [PMID: 34781138 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2021.112407] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2021] [Revised: 09/23/2021] [Accepted: 11/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to systematically investigate trans-eQTLs of CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 affecting tacrolimus trough blood concentrations in Chinese renal transplant patients. We used Plink v1.90 to perform data quality control and linear regression analysis on GTEx v8 data. SNPs with p-value < 0.05 were selected and the GTEx eQTL Calculator was used to further prioritize the eQTLs of CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 in the liver and small intestine. The eQTLs with a p-value < 5 × 10-5 and MAF≥ 0.05 in the CHB population were selected as candidate eQTLs. The genotyping of candidate eQTLs was performed using high-resolution melting (HRM) assays and Sanger DNA sequencing. This study included 845 Chinese renal transplant patients who received tacrolimus as an immunosuppressive agent. Association between 103 candidate eQTLs and log-transformed tacrolimus concentration/dose ratio (log (C0/D)) in this cohort was conducted using the SNPassoc package of R software. In the end, a total of 75,632 liver eQTLs of CYP3A4, 69,558 liver eQTLs of CYP3A5, 48,596 small intestine eQTLs of CYP3A4 and 28,616 small intestine eQTLs of CYP3A5 were obtained using the GTEx v8 eQTL Calculator. Of the 103 candidate eQTLs, rs75727207, rs181294422 and rs28522676 were significantly associated with tacrolimus log(C0/D) in different genetic models. We discovered a substantial number of novel eQTLs of CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 in liver and small intestine, also found that rs75727207, rs181294422 and rs28522676 may affect tacrolimus trough blood concentrations in Chinese renal transplant patients.

Functional CYP3A variants affecting tacrolimus trough blood concentrations in Chinese renal transplant recipients. THE PHARMACOGENOMICS JOURNAL 2021; 21:376-389.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to identify novel genetic variants affecting tacrolimus trough blood concentrations. We analyzed the association between 58 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) across the CYP3A gene cluster and the log-transformed tacrolimus concentration/dose ratio (log (C0/D)) in 819 renal transplant recipients (Discovery cohort). Multivariate linear regression was used to test for associations between tacrolimus log (C0/D) and clinical factors. Luciferase reporter gene assays were used to evaluate the functions of select SNPs. Associations of putative functional SNPs with log (C0/D) were further tested in 631 renal transplant recipients (Replication cohort). Nine SNPs were significantly associated with tacrolimus log (C0/D) after adjustment for CYP3A5*3 and clinical factors. Dual luciferase reporter assays indicated that the rs4646450 G allele and rs3823812 T allele were significantly associated with increased normalized luciferase activity ratios (p < 0.01). Moreover, CYP3A7*2 was associated with higher TAC log(C0/D) in the group of CYP3A5 expressers. Age, serum creatinine and hematocrit were significantly associated with tacrolimus log (C0/D). CYP3A7*2, rs4646450, and rs3823812 are proposed as functional SNPs affecting tacrolimus trough blood concentrations in Chinese renal transplant recipients. Clinical factors also significantly affect tacrolimus metabolism.

Abstract
Preventing rejection is a major challenge in transplantation medicine, even when using pluripotent stem cell-derived grafts. In iPS cell (iPSC)-based transplantation, to reduce the risk of rejection, it is thought to be optimal that preparing the cells from donors whose human leukocyte antigen-haplotype are homozygous. Generally, this approach is referred to as major histocompatibility complex (MHC) homo-to-hetero transplantation, which is MHC-matched but minor antigen-mismatched. To investigate the immune response in the MHC homo-to-hetero transplantation, we established a murine experimental system in which MHC-matched but minor antigen-mismatched tissue (skin) grafts were transplanted into MHC-heterozygous recipients. Unexpectedly, only minor antigen-mismatched grafts were rejected at the same time points as rejection of fully allogeneic grafts. A vigorous anti-donor type T cell response was detected in vitro and conventional immunosuppressants targeting T cell activation had limited effects on controlling rejection. However, anti-donor antibodies were not detected only in the minor antigen-mismatched transplantation. This murine transplantation model can be used to further analyze immunological subjects for MHC homo-to-hetero iPSC-based transplantation.

Abstract
AIMS Although cytochromeP450(CYP)3A5 gene polymorphism affects personalized tacrolimus doses, there is no consensus as to whether CYP3A5 genotypes should be determined to adjust the doses. The aims were to compare the therapeutic ranges and clinical outcomes between the conventional and genotype-guided tacrolimus doses. METHODS This randomized controlled study compared 63 cases of the conventional tacrolimus dose group (0.1 mg/kg/day) with 62 cases of the genotype-guided doses group of 0.125, 0.1 and 0.08 mg/kg for CYP3A5*1/*1, *1/*3, and *3/*3 genotypes for the initial 3 days of kidney transplantation. After day 3, dose adjustment occurred in both groups to achieve therapeutic concentrations. RESULTS The genotype-guided group had an increased proportion of patients with tacrolimus concentrations in the therapeutic range at the steady state on day 3 (40.3 vs 23.8%, P = .048). A lower proportion of over-therapeutic concentration patients was noted in the genotype-guided group in the CYP3A5*3/*3 genotype (9.7 vs 27%, P = .013). Unexpectedly, more delayed graft functions (DGFs) were in the genotype-guided group (41.9 vs 22.2%, P = .018) especially in the CYP3A5*1/*1 participants who might have had an aggravated DGF by a longer ischaemic time and higher serum donor creatinine levels than in the control group. There were no significant differences of glomerular filtration rates or graft or patient survivals over a median 37-month follow-up period. CONCLUSIONS Determination of the CYP3A5 genotype improved therapeutic range achievement. CYP3A5*1/*1 patients who have high risks of DGF should be closely monitored because of an increased risk of DGF and reduced glomerular filtration rate with high tacrolimus doses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tacrolimus, a critical dose drug, is widely used in transplantation. Knowing the contribution of genetic factors, which significantly influence tacrolimus variability, is beneficial in the personalization of its starting dose. The significant impact of CYP3A5*3 polymorphisms on tacrolimus exposure has been reported. Conflicting results of the additional influence of POR*28 polymorphisms on tacrolimus pharmacokinetic interindividual variability have been observed among different populations. The objective of this study was to explore the interaction between POR*28 and CYP3A5*3 polymorphisms and their main effects on tacrolimus trough concentration to dose ratios on day 7 after kidney transplantation. METHODS Two hundred sixteen adult kidney transplant recipients participated in this retrospective study. All participants received a twice daily tacrolimus regimen. Blood samples and data were collected on day 7 after transplantation. A 2-way analysis of covariance was performed. Tested covariates were age, hemoglobin, serum albumin, and prednisolone dose. RESULTS A 2 × 2 analysis of covariance revealed that the interaction between CYP3A5 polymorphisms (CYP3A5 expresser and CYP3A5 nonexpresser) and POR polymorphisms (POR*28 carrier and POR*28 noncarrier) was not significant (F(1, 209) = 2.473, P = 0.117, (Equation is included in full-text article.)= 0.012). The predicted main effect of CYP3A5 and POR polymorphisms was significant (F(1, 209) = 105.565, P < 0.001, (Equation is included in full-text article.)= 0.336 and F(1, 209) = 4.007, P = 0.047, (Equation is included in full-text article.)= 0.019, respectively). Hemoglobin, age, and steroid dose influenced log C0/dose of tacrolimus (F(1, 209) = 20.612, P < 0.001, (Equation is included in full-text article.)= 0.090; F(1, 209) = 14.360, P < 0.001, (Equation is included in full-text article.)= 0.064; and F(1, 209) = 5.512, P = 0.020, (Equation is included in full-text article.)= 0.026, respectively). CONCLUSIONS After adjusting for the influences of hemoglobin, age, and prednisolone dose, significant impacts of the CYP3A5 and POR polymorphisms on tacrolimus exposure were found. The effect of POR*28 and CYP3A5*3 polymorphisms during the very early period after kidney transplantation is independent of each other.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Genetic polymorphism is an important factor that influences tacrolimus concentrations and has the potential to predict the optimal dosage of tacrolimus in personalized medicine. Tacrolimus, a drug of narrow therapeutic index, is used in renal transplant recipients as an immunosuppressant agent. It is a substrate of cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) and has highly variable pharmacokinetic parameters. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to identify the proportion of CYP3A5 gene polymorphism in Myanmar kidney transplant recipients and to determine the impact of CYP3A5 gene polymorphisms on tacrolimus level in CYP3A5 expressors and nonexpressors. METHODS This study included 41 adult Myanmar post-renal transplant patients. Tacrolimus trough blood levels were determined and CYP3A5 genotype analysis was conducted by using polymerase chain reaction amplification of target followed by detection by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. RESULTS The CYP3A5 nonexpressors and expressors were detected in 25 (60.97%) and 16 (39.02%) of the 41 renal transplant recipients, respectively. The tacrolimus concentration/dose ratio in the CYP3A5 expressor group was lower than in the CYP3A5 nonexpressor group (1.49 ± 0.69 vs 3.49 ± 3.08 [P = .003] at 1 month; and 1.54 ± 0.9 vs 7.88 ± 8.25 [P = .0001] at 3 months). CONCLUSIONS The findings of the present study revealed that more than one half of the study population were carrying the mutant allele CYP3A5*3(A6986G). CYP3A5 genetic polymorphism is one of the important factors in determining daily requirements for tacrolimus and in adjusting tacrolimus trough concentrations.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Tacrolimus is an immunosuppressive medication for organ transplantation. FOXP3(+) T regulatory cells (Tregs) play roles in suppression of rejection and induction of graft tolerance. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between the polymorphism of FOXP3 and the blood level of tacrolimus in renal transplant recipients. METHODS This retrospective study included 100 renal transplant recipients receiving tacrolimus treatment and 100 healthy control subjects. Genotyping for FOXP3 rs3761547 AA, AG, GG, rs3761548 AA, AC, CC and rs223236 AA, AG, GG was performed. Concentrations of tacrolimus, creatinine, and urea nitrogen levels in blood were measured. RESULTS Frequencies of genotypes of FOXP3 rs3761548 AA, AC, and CC, rs3761547 AA, AG, GG and rs 223236 AA, AG, GG in renal transplant recipients were similar to those in normal people. The blood level of tacrolimus in recipients with rs3761548 CC was significantly higher than that in recipients with rs3761548 AA and AC (P < .001). No difference in the blood level of tacrolimus was found in recipients with different genotypes of rs3761547 and rs223236. Compared to rs3761548 AA and AC groups, there was no difference of Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) glomerular filtration rate and the level of blood urea nitrogen before transplantation; however, these 2 parameters were significantly improved after transplantation in the rs3761548 CC group. The level of tacrolimus was correlated positively with MDRD glomerular filtration rate and negatively with the blood urea nitrogen level in recipients with rs3761548 CC genotype after transplantation. CONCLUSIONS Our study identified a new relationship between FOXP3 rs3761548 and the blood level of tacrolimus. These results suggest that the polymorphism of FOXP3 may affect tacrolimus pharmacokinetics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study is to analyze concentration changes of the prolonged-release and shorter-acting formulation of tacrolimus in patients with different CYP3A5 genotypes after kidney transplantation. METHODS A single-factor retrospective analysis was performed in patients underwent allogeneic kidney transplantation with postoperative administration of Advagraf or Prograf in our hospital from May 2013 to June 2014. The CYP3A5 genotypes were determined, and tacrolimus trough concentrations in whole blood were measured within 28days after transplantation. The rates of acute rejection rate, chronic rejection and infection were recorded and compared after one year follow-up after surgery. RESULTS The study included 106 patients administered Advagraf (45 cases) or Prograf (61 cases). The low expression genotype of CYP3A5 was detected in 40 (37.7%) patients. A higher dose of Advagraf was required to increase the tacrolimus trough concentrations within 21days after transplantation. Moreover, a higher dose for Advagraf than Prograf was required to increase the tacrolimus trough concentrations in low expression patients. In the low expression patients, Prograf more frequently achieved the target tacrolimus trough concentrations within seven days after transplantation (five days: 7.14% vs. 84%, P=0.001; seven days: 33.33% vs. 77.78%, P=0.001). The patient and kidney graft survival rates one year after transplantation both were 100%. The estimated glomerular filtration rate showed no significant difference between different CYP3A5 phenotypes or formulations of tacrolimus (P>0.05). However, the incidence of infections was higher in the Advagraf group in low expression patients (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Tacrolimus of different formulations had different impact on patients with different CYP3A5 genotypes after kidney transplantation.

Abstract
Renal transplantation is the treatment of choice for the patients with end-stage renal failure. Genetic factors, among others, can influence variability in response to immunosuppressive drugs. Nowadays, due to restrictive health resources, the question arises whether routine pharmacogenetic analyses should be done in the renal transplant recipients or not. The aim of this literature review was to present the up-to-date information considering the economic feasibility of pharmacogenetic testing in patients subjected to renal transplantation. The organization United Network for Organ Sharing in the US estimated that total costs per renal transplant concerning these analyses were $334,300 in 2014. Pharmacogenetic testing prior to treatment initiation could be helpful to predict and assess treatment response and the risks for adverse drug reactions. This kind of testing before treatment initiation seems to be one of the most promising applications of pharmacokinetics. Although pharmacogenetic tests were found to be a cost-effective or cost-saving strategy in many cases, some authors represent another opinion. However, if the real costs of renal transplantation are recognized, the application of these tests in the standard daily practice could be considered more realistic, which additionally emphasizes the importance of future studies assessing their cost effectiveness.

Which Genetic Determinants Should be Considered for Tacrolimus Dose Optimization in Kidney Transplantation? A Combined Analysis of Genes Affecting the CYP3A Locus. Ther Drug Monit 2016; 37:288-95.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tacrolimus is established as immunosuppressant after kidney transplantation. Polymorphism of the cytochrome P450 3A5 (CYP3A5) gene contributes significantly to tacrolimus dose requirements. Recently, CYP3A4*22 was reported to additionally affect tacrolimus pharmacokinetics (PK). In addition, there are further polymorphic genes, possibly influencing CYP3A activity [pregnane x receptor NR1I2, P450 oxidoreductase (POR), and peroxisome proliferator-activator receptor alpha (PPARA)]. We aimed to investigate combined effects of these gene variants on tacrolimus maintenance dose and PK in patients with stable kidney transplantation of 2 study centers. METHODS A total of 223 white patients (German cohort, 136; Danish cohort, 87) was included and genotyped for CYP3A5 (rs776746), CYP3A4 (rs35599367), NR1I2 (rs2276707), POR (rs1057868), and PPARA (rs4253728). Dosage and trough concentration/dose ratios were considered separately. A subset was investigated for comprehensive PK parameters. RESULTS Tacrolimus dose, trough concentration, and trough concentration/dose ratio did not differ between the German and Danish cohort. CYP3A5*3 and CYP3A4*22 contributed to dose requirements only in the German and in the total cohort. Homozygous carriers of both variants required 4.8 ± 3.1 mg, whereas carriers of the wild types required 165% higher mean tacrolimus doses (12.5 ± 7.7 mg, P = 1.4 × 10). The PK investigation revealed only nonsignificant impact of CYP3A4 genotypes on AUC12h in CYP3A5 nonexpressers (P = 0.079, power = 57%). For the entire sample, the final multiple linear regression model for trough concentration/dose ratio included CYP3A5, CYP3A4, and age. It explained 18.3% of the interindividual variability of tacrolimus trough concentration/dose ratios (P = 8.8 × 10). CONCLUSIONS Therapeutic drug monitoring remains essential in clinical care of patients with kidney transplantation. Genotyping of CYP3A5 and CYP3A4, however, could facilitate rapid dose finding to adapt the appropriate immunosuppressant dose, whereas other genetic factors had only little or no effect.

Abstract
Tacrolimus is dependent on CYP3A5 enzyme for metabolism. Expression of the CYP3A5 enzyme is controlled by several alleles including CYP3A5*1, CYP3A5*3, CYP3A5*6 and CYP3A5*7. African Americans (AAs) have on average higher tacrolimus dose requirements than Caucasians; however, some have requirements similar to Caucasians. Studies in AAs have primarily evaluated the CYP3A5*3 variant; however, there are other common nonfunctional variants in AAs (CYP3A5*6 and CYP3A5*7) that do not occur in Caucasians. These variants are associated with lower dose requirements and may explain why some AAs are metabolically similar to Caucasians. We created a tacrolimus clearance model in 354 AAs using a development and validation cohort. Time after transplant, steroid and antiviral use, age and CYP3A5*1, *3, *6 and *7 alleles were significant toward clearance. This study is the first to develop an AA-specific genotype-guided tacrolimus dosing model to personalize therapy.

Abstract
AIM The present study investigated in Tunisian renal transplant patients, genetic polymorphisms of CYP3A4 -392A>G and CYP3A5 6986A>G and their influence on tacrolimus (Tac) pharmacokinetics during early and late post-transplant (PT) phases and established customized ranges of Tac doses matching the C0 target levels according to CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 genotype combination and the PT phase. PATIENTS & METHODS We included adult Tunisian patients having received Tac for de novo kidney grafts and undergone a therapeutic drug monitoring of Tac by morning C0 monitoring during early (1 to 90 days) and late (over 90 days) PT phases. The genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood mononuclear cells using a salting-out procedure. CYP3A4 promoter (rs2740574; -392A>G) and CYP3A5 (rs776746; 6986A>G) SNP genotyping was analyzed using PCR-RFLP. RESULTS Fifty-two patients were enrolled in the study. During the early PT phase, the CYP3A5 polymorphism but not that of CYP3A4, correlates significantly with Tac dose-normalized C0 (C0/D ratio). During the late PT phase, the effect of CYP3A4 polymorphism becomes significant and that of CYP3A5 becomes nonsignificant on Tac C0/D Tac. The mean daily doses (mg/kg) matching therapeutic C0, regardless of the CYP3A genotypes, were 0.16 ± 0.05 and 0.10 ± 0.05 during early and late PT phase, respectively. Carriers of the CYP3A4*1B allele require higher doses to maintain the C0 in the therapeutic range during the two PT phases. However, patients carrying the CYP3A5*1 require significant higher Tac doses, only during the early phase. CONCLUSION Our data support a critical role of the CYP3A5 6986A>G and CYP3A4 -392A>G polymorphisms on the variation of Tac exposure during the early and the late PT phase, respectively. The establishment of customized Tac doses, according to CYP3A4/CYP3A5 genotype combination and the PT time, may allow preventing graft rejection and improving the safety profile of this drug. Further studies are needed to investigate this issue.

Abstract
Tacrolimus is prescribed to prevent allograft rejection in pediatric liver transplant recipients; however, its metabolism through the cytochrome P-450 enzyme system presents a multitude of challenges in regard to drug interactions. Here, we describe four children (ages 1.4-8.7 yr) who acutely developed supra-therapeutic serum tacrolimus trough concentrations, despite standard dosing, while on concomitant nicardipine therapy following liver transplantation. Even though tacrolimus regimens were altered (dosage reductions and held doses), serum tacrolimus concentrations remained elevated. Resolution of high tacrolimus concentrations was achieved only after the discontinuation of nicardipine. Following the termination of nicardipine, all children eventually required dosage increases in their tacrolimus regimens to re-achieve target serum concentrations. We conclude that concomitant use of tacrolimus and nicardipine can result in high tacrolimus concentrations due to the inhibition of cytochrome p450 enzymes responsible for the metabolism of tacrolimus. We encourage clinicians to consider alternative antihypertensive options in children on tacrolimus therapy. If nicardipine therapy is necessary, we recommend a 50% reduction in tacrolimus dose and daily serum concentration monitoring.

Abstract
In our previous study, Bush Sophora Root polysaccharide (BSRPS) and its sulfate (sBSRPS) exhibited anti-duck virus hepatitis (DVH) abilities as well as anti-oxidative and immuno-enhancement effects. The aim of this paper was to ulteriorly investigate the exact anti-DVH mechanisms of BSRPS and sBSRPS by intervention experiments. Hinokitiol and FK506 were used as the pro-oxidant and immunosuppressant, respectively. The dynamic deaths, oxidative and immune evaluation indexes and hepatic pathological change scores were detected. When was intervened by hinokitiol, sBSRPS still possessed therapeutic effect while BSPRS was useless. Under the condition of immunosuppression, BSRPS lost a part role in treating DVH; however such a role of sBSRPS completely exhausted. These results suggested both anti-oxidative and immuno-enhancement effects of BSRPS played roles in healing DVH, and the former was more crucial; unlike BSRPS, only immuno-enhancement ability of sBSRPS was imperative for its curative effect on DVH.

Capability of utilizing CYP3A5 polymorphisms to predict therapeutic dosage of tacrolimus at early stage post-renal transplantation. Int J Mol Sci 2015; 16:1840-54. [PMID: 25594874 PMCID: PMC4307337 DOI: 10.3390/ijms16011840] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2014] [Accepted: 01/06/2015] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
While CYP3A5 polymorphisms are used to predict the initial dosage of tacrolimus therapy, the predictive capability of genetic information for dosing at early stage post-renal transplantation is unknown. We investigated the influence of polymorphisms over time. An initial oral dose of modified-release once-daily tacrolimus formulation (0.20 mg/kg) was administered to 50 Japanese renal transplant patients every 24 h. Stepwise multiple linear regression analysis for tacrolimus dosing was performed each week to determine the effect of patient clinical characteristics. The dose-adjusted trough concentration was approximately 70% higher for patients with the CYP3A5*3/*3 than patients with the CYP3A5*1 allele before the second pre-transplantation tacrolimus dose (0.97 (0.78–1.17) vs. 0.59 (0.45–0.87) ng/mL/mg; p < 0.001). The contribution of genetic factors (CYP3A5*1 or *3) for tacrolimus dosing showed increased variation from Day 14 to Day 28 after transplantation: 7.2%, 18.4% and 19.5% on Days 14, 21 and 28, respectively. The influence of CYP3A5 polymorphisms on the tacrolimus maintenance dosage became evident after Day 14 post-transplantation, although the tacrolimus dosage was determined based only on patient body weight for the first three days after surgery. Tacrolimus dosage starting with the initial administration should be individualized using the CYP3A5 genotype information.

Abstract
Purpose Tacrolimus (Tac) and cyclosporine (CsA) are mainly metabolized by CYP3A4 and CYP3A5. Several studies have demonstrated an association between the CYP3A5 genotype and Tac dose requirements. Recently, CYP3A4, PPARA, and POR gene variants have been shown to influence CYP3A metabolism. The present study investigated potential associations between CYP3A5*3, CYP3A4*22, PPARA c.209-1003G>A and c.208 + 3819A>G, and POR*28 alleles and dose-adjusted concentrations (C/D) of Tac and CsA in 177 renal transplant patients early post-transplant. Methods All patients (n = 177) were genotyped for CYP3A4*22, CYP3A5*3, POR*28, PPARA c.209-1003G>A, and PPARA c.208 + 3819A>G using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and melting curve analysis with allele-specific hybridization probes or PCR restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP) methods. Drug concentrations and administered doses were retrospectively collected from patient charts at Oslo University Hospital, Rikshospitalet, Norway. One steady-state concentration was collected for each patient. Results We confirmed a significant impact of the CYP3A5*3 allele on Tac exposure. Patients with POR*28 and PPARA variant alleles demonstrated 15 % lower (P = 0.04) and 19 % higher (P = 0.01) Tac C0/D respectively. CsA C2/D was 53 % higher among CYP3A4*22 carriers (P = 0.03). Conclusion The results support the use of pre-transplant CYP3A5 genotyping to improve initial dosing of Tac, and suggest that Tac dosing may be further individualized by additional POR and PPARA genotyping. Furthermore, initial CsA dosing may be improved by pre-transplant CYP3A4*22 determination.

Personalized tacrolimus dose requirement by CYP3A5 but not ABCB1 or ACE genotyping in both recipient and donor after pediatric liver transplantation. PLoS One 2014; 9:e109464. [PMID: 25310192 PMCID: PMC4195667 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0109464] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2014] [Accepted: 09/10/2014] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Tacrolimus (TAC) is the backbone of an immunosuppressive drug used in most solid organ transplant recipients. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at position 6986G>A in CYP3A5 has been notably involved in the pharmacokinetic variability of TAC. It is hypothesized that CYP3A5 genotyping in patients may provide a guideline for TAC therapeutic regimen. To further evaluate the impact of CYP3A5 variants in donors and recipients, ABCB1 and ACE SNPs in recipients on TAC disposition, clinical and laboratory data were retrospectively reviewed from 90 pediatric patients with liver transplantation and their corresponding donors after 1 year of transplantation. The recipients with CYP3A5 *1/*1 or *1/*3 required more time to achieve TAC therapeutic range during the induction phase, and needed more upward dose during the late induction and the maintained phases, with lower C/D ratio, compared with those with CYP3A5 *3/*3. And donor CYP3A5 genotypes were found to impact on TAC trough concentrations after liver transplantation. No association between ABCB1 or ACE genotypes and TAC disposition post-transplantation was found. These results strongly suggest that CYP3A5 genotyping both in recipient and donor, not ABCB1 or ACE is necessary for establishing a personalized TAC dosage regimen in pediatric liver transplant patients.
