Am J Med Sci 2024:S0002-9629(24)01278-3. [PMID: 38876435 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjms.2024.06.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2023] [Revised: 12/19/2023] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/16/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Despite tacrolimus (TAC) or mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) for alternate approaches, a proportion of patients still required further exploration of other therapeutic options due to uncontrolled autoimmune hepatitis(AIH). The role of cyclophosphamide (CYC) for AIH has been explored in isolated case reports and small series. We present a review of CYC therapy in AIH patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A search for studies with keywords 'autoimmune hepatitis' and 'cyclophosphamide' was performed. Data recorded included gender, age, laboratory parameters and histological findings at the time of AIH diagnosis and before initiation of CYC therapy. RESULTS We identified 13 patients across 7 studies who met criteria for study inclusion, of whom around 69.2% (9/13) were primary refractory; 30.8% (4/13) patients used CYC as rescue therapy due to their coexisting autoimmune complications. The main findings of the study were that CYC appears to have an acceptable safety profile in difficult-to-treat AIH patients, with an overall remission rate of 88.9% (8/9). The other four patients with AIH accompanied by extrahepatic autoimmune disorders also achieved remission of transaminase levels and stability of liver function after the addition of CYC. A positive response to CYC treatment was seen in 12(92.3%) patients and none of them relapsed during the follow-up. CONCLUSIONS We cautiously recommend that CYC could be a conditioning alternative to starting second-line therapy after unsuccessful intensification of first-line treatment. Pharmacogenetic methods may play a role in guiding cyclophosphamide therapy. Given our small sample size, results should be considered preliminary.

Abstract
Background Trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) has been approved worldwide for treating metastatic breast cancer (mBC) in patients who have received first-line therapy, shown disease progression, and are human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive. T-DM1 received approval in China to treat early-stage breast cancer (BC) in 2020 and for mBC in 2021. In March 2023, T-DM1 was included in medical insurance coverage, significantly expanding the eligible population. Materials and methods This post-marketing observational study aimed to assess the safety and effectiveness of T-DM1 in real-world clinical practice in China. This study enrolled 31 individuals with HER2-positive early-stage BC and 70 individuals with HER2-positive advanced BC from 8 study centers in Shandong Province, China. The T-DM1 dosage was 3.6 mg/kg injected intravenously every 3 weeks until the disease advanced or the drug toxicity became uncontrollable, whichever occurred earlier. Additionally, efficacy and safety information on T-DM1 were collected. Results During the 7-month follow-up period, no recurrence or metastases were observed in patients who had early-stage BC. The disease control rate was 31.43% (22/70) in patients with advanced BC. The most common adverse effect of T-DM1 was thrombocytopenia, with an incidence of 69.31% (70/101), and the probability of Grade ≥ 3 thrombocytopenia was 11.88% (12/101). Conclusion This real-world study demonstrated that T-DM1 had good efficacy and was well tolerated by both HER2-positive early-stage BC and mBC patients.

Abstract
This literature review provides a comprehensive overview of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and explores innovative targeted therapies focused on specific hallmarks of cancer cells, aiming to revolutionize breast cancer treatment. TNBC, characterized by its lack of expression of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), presents distinct features, categorizing these invasive breast tumors into various phenotypes delineated by key elements in molecular assays. This article delves into the latest advancements in therapeutic strategies targeting components of the tumor microenvironment and pivotal hallmarks of cancer: deregulating cellular metabolism and the Warburg effect, acidosis and hypoxia, the ability to metastasize and evade the immune system, aiming to enhance treatment efficacy while mitigating systemic toxicity. Insights from in vitro and in vivo studies and clinical trials underscore the promising effectiveness and elucidate the mechanisms of action of these novel therapeutic interventions for TNBC, particularly in cases refractory to conventional treatments. The integration of targeted therapies tailored to the molecular characteristics of TNBC holds significant potential for optimizing clinical outcomes and addressing the pressing need for more effective treatment options for this aggressive subtype of breast cancer.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a widely used antitumor agent; however, its clinical application is limited by dose-related organ damage. Because organic cation/carnitine transporters (OCTN1 and OCTN2), which are critical for DOX uptake, are highly expressed in hepatocytes, we aimed to elucidate the role of these transporters in hepatic DOX uptake. The results indicated that inhibitors and RNA interference both significantly reduced DOX accumulation in HepG2 and HepaRG cells, suggesting that OCTN1/2 contribute substantially to DOX uptake by hepatocytes. To determine whether metformin (MET, an inhibitor of OCTN1 and OCTN2) ameliorates DOX-induced hepatotoxicity, we conducted in vitro and in vivo studies. MET (1-100 μM) inhibited DOX (500 nM) accumulation and cytotoxicity in vitro in a concentration-dependent manner. Furthermore, intravenous MET administration at 250 or 500 mg/kg or by gavage at 50, 100, or 200 mg/kg reduced DOX (8 mg/kg) accumulation in a dose-dependent manner in the mouse liver and attenuated the release of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and carboxylesterase 1. Additionally, MET reduced the distribution of DOX in the heart, liver, and kidney and enhanced the urinary elimination of DOX; however, it did not increase the nephric toxicity of DOX. In conclusion, our study demonstrated that MET alleviates DOX hepatotoxicity by inhibiting OCTN1- and OCTN2-mediated DOX uptake in vitro (mouse hepatocytes and HepaRG or HepG2 cells) and in mice.

Abstract
This study investigates the impact of single nucleotide polymorphisms in genes (SLC22A16 and CBR1) involved in the pharmacokinetics and toxicity of doxorubicin (DOX) in Egyptian female patients with breast cancer.Patients administered DOX (60 mg/m2) for 4 cycles every 3 weeks. The peak DOX plasma concentration was measured using a validated chromatographic method. The genotyping for the selected SNPs, SLC22A16 T > C (rs714368), and CBR1 C > T (rs20572), was performed by RT-PCR. Patients were monitored for hematological and cardiac toxicities.The variant carriers of CBR1 C > T (rs20572) exhibited significantly higher DOX concentration, but no significant association to DOX-induced hematological toxicity. On the other hand, SLC22A16 T > C (rs714368) had no significant influence on DOX plasma concentration, but was significantly correlated with lower risk of neutropenia (OR 0.31, 95% CI 0.12-0.75, p = 0.01) and leukopoenia (OR 0.18, 95% CI 0.07-0.5, p = 0.001). DOX-related cardiotoxicity was correlated with the cumulative dose of DOX (R = 0.238, p = 0.017), but not with any of the two examined SNPs.Genetic polymorphisms in SLC22A16 and CBR1 may explain the inter-individual variations in DOX pharmacokinetics and toxicity. Using pharmacogenetic testing is important to customise drug therapy for cancer patients treated with anthracyclines.

Abstract
The combination of immunotherapy and chemotherapy to ablate tumors has attracted substantial attention due to the ability to simultaneously elicit antitumor immune responses and trigger direct tumor cell death. However, conventional combinational strategies mainly focus on the employment of drug carriers to deliver immunomodulators, chemotherapeutics, or their combinations, always suffering from complicated preparation and carrier-relevant side effects. Here, the fabrication of bacterial flagellum-drug nanoconjugates (FDNCs) for carrier-free immunochemotherapy is described. FDNCs are simply prepared by attaching chemotherapeutics to amine residues of flagellin through an acid-sensitive and traceless cis-aconityl linker. By virtue of native nanofibrous structure and immunogenicity, bacterial flagella not only show long-term tumor retention and highly efficient cell internalization, but also provoke robust systemic antitumor immune responses. Meanwhile, conjugated chemotherapeutics exhibit an acid-mediated release profile and durable intratumoral exposure, which can induce potent tumor cell inhibition via direct killing. More importantly, this combination is able to augment immunoactivation effects associated with chemotherapy-enabled immunogenic tumor cell death to further enhance antitumor efficacy. By leveraging the innate response of the immune system to pathogens, the conjugation of therapeutic agents with self-adjuvant bacterial flagella provides an alternative approach to develop carrier-free nanotherapeutics for tumor immunochemotherapy.

Abstract
Anthracyclines remain the cornerstone of numerous chemotherapeutic protocols, with beneficial effects against haematological malignancies and solid tumours. Unfortunately, the clinical usefulness of anthracyclines is compromised by the development of cardiotoxic side effects, leading to dose limitations or treatment discontinuation. There is no absolute linear correlation between the incidence of cardiotoxicity and the threshold dose, suggesting that genetic factors may modify the association between anthracyclines and cardiotoxicity risk. And the majority of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with anthracycline pharmacogenomics were identified in the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) and solute carrier (SLC) transporters, generating increasing interest in the pharmacogenetic implications of their genetic variations for anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (AIC). This review focuses on the influence of SLC and ABC polymorphisms on AIC and highlights the prospects and clinical significance of pharmacogenetics for individualised preventive approaches.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Many studies were conducted to determine the association between genetic polymorphisms in CYP2B6 c.516G>T and cyclophosphamide (CYC) efficacy or toxicity, no studies were focused on both clinical efficacy and toxicity of CYC. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the CYP2B6 c.516G>T polymorphism (rs 3745274) and 17 different parameters related to CYC efficacy and tolerability in Egyptian patients with lupus nephritis (LN). METHODS A prospective cohort study on 142 LN patients with a mean age of 36.26 was conducted at Kasr Al Ainy School of Medicine, Cairo University, Egypt after the exclusion of 14 patients due to receiving an interacting medication with CYC. All clinical parameters related to CYC efficacy or toxicity were recorded and compared between the different genotypes. RESULTS There was a statistically significant difference between different genotypes in 11 out of 13 of the studied efficacy-related parameters. Many of the studied clinical parameters revealed that CYC's efficacy was associated with the presence of the T allele. There was a statistically significant difference between different genotypes in hepatotoxicity, diarrhea, and blood-related toxicities. CONCLUSION To our knowledge, this study is the first study that focused on studying 17 different parameters related to CYC efficacy and tolerability. Our findings paint a picture of the function that CYP2B6 polymorphisms play in Egyptian LN patients. Pre-treatment evaluation of CYP2B6 rs 3745274 may account for some individual differences in treatment response.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) has been widely used to treat various tumors; however, DOX-induced cardiotoxicity limits its utilization. Since high accumulation of DOX in cardiomyocytes/mitochondria is the key reason, we aimed to clarify the mechanisms of DOX uptake and explore whether selectively inhibiting DOX uptake transporters would attenuate DOX accumulation and cardiotoxicity. Our results demonstrated that OCTN1/OCTN2/PMAT (organic cation/carnitine transporter 1/2 or plasma membrane monoamine transporter), especially OCTN2, played crucial roles in DOX uptake in cardiomyocytes, while OCTN2 and OCTN1 contributed to DOX transmembrane transport in mitochondria. Metformin (1-100 μM) concentration-dependently reduced DOX (5 μM for accumulation, 500 nM for cytotoxicity) concentration and toxicity in cardiomyocytes/mitochondria via inhibition of OCTN1-, OCTN2- and PMAT-mediated DOX uptake but did not affect its efflux. Furthermore, metformin (iv: 250 and 500 mg/kg or ig: 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg) could dose-dependently reduce DOX (8 mg/kg) accumulation in mouse myocardium and attenuated its cardiotoxicity. In addition, metformin (1-100 μM) did not impair DOX efficacy in breast cancer or leukemia cells. In conclusion, our study clarified the role of multiple transporters, especially OCTN2, in DOX uptake in cardiomyocytes/mitochondria; metformin alleviated DOX-induced cardiotoxicity without compromising its antitumor efficacy by selective inhibition of multiple transporters mediated DOX accumulation in myocardium/mitochondria.

Abstract
Cyclophosphamide, an oxazaphosphorine prodrug is frequently used in treatment of neuroblastoma, which is one of the most prevalent solid organ malignancies in infants and young children. Cytochrome P450 2B6 (CYP2B6) is the major catalyst and CYP2C19 is the minor enzyme in bioactivation and inactivation pathways of cyclophosphamide. CYP-mediated metabolism may contribute to the variable pharmacokinetics of cyclophosphamide and its toxic byproducts leading to insufficient response to the therapy and development of clinically significant side effects. The aim of the study was to reveal the contribution of pharmacogenetic variability in CYP2B6 and CYP2C19 to the treatment efficacy and cyclophosphamide-induced side effects in pediatric neuroblastoma patients under cyclophosphamide therapy (N = 50). Cyclophosphamide-induced hematologic toxicities were pivotal in all patients, whereas only moderate hepatorenal toxicity was developed. The patients' CYP2B6 metabolizer phenotypes were associated with the occurrence of lymphopenia, thrombocytopenia, and monocytopenia as well as of liver injury, but not with kidney or urinary bladder (hemorrhagic cystitis) toxicities. Furthermore, the patients' age (< 1.5 years, P = 0.03) and female gender (P ≤ 0.02), but not CYP2B6 or CYP2C19 metabolizer phenotypes appeared as significant prognostic factors in treatment outcomes. Our results may contribute to a better understanding of the impact of CYP2B6 variability on cyclophosphamide-induced side effects.

Zheng YZ, Li JY, Ning LW, Xie N. Predictive and Prognostic Value of TRIM58 Protein Expression in Patients with Breast Cancer Receiving Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy. BREAST CANCER (DOVE MEDICAL PRESS) 2022; 14:475-487.

Abstract
Introduction Tripartite motif-containing protein (TRIM) family members play crucial roles in carcinogenesis and chemotherapy resistance. In this study, we aimed to determine whether TRIM58 protein expression is related to patient responses to neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) and their survival outcome. Methods Immunohistochemistry was performed on female breast cancer samples from biopsies before NAT in Shenzhen Second People's Hospital. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression tests were used to analyze the association between TRIM58 protein expression and pathological complete response (pCR). The Cox proportional hazards model was used to calculate the adjusted hazard ratio (HR) with a 95% confidence interval (95% CI). The Kaplan-Meier plotter database was used to analyze the prognostic value of TRIM58. Results High TRIM58 expression was associated with small tumor size in all the patients (n = 58). Multivariate analysis suggested that low TRIM58 expression was an independent predictive factor for higher pCR (odds ratio = 0.06, 95% CI 0.005-0.741, P = 0.028). The Kaplan-Meier Plotter dataset suggested that the TRIM58 high-expression group showed a worse 5-year overall survival than the low-expression group (HR = 1.34, 95% CI 1.07-1.67, P = 0.01). Pathway analysis revealed the potential mechanisms of TRIM58 in chemoresistance. Discussion Our study suggests that TRIM58 is a promising biomarker for both neoadjuvant chemosensitivity and long-term clinical outcomes in breast cancer. It may also help to identify candidate responders and determine treatment strategies.

Pharmacogenetics of Drug Metabolism: The Role of Gene Polymorphism in the Regulation of Doxorubicin Safety and Efficacy. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14215436. [PMID: 36358854 PMCID: PMC9659104 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14215436] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2022] [Revised: 10/27/2022] [Accepted: 11/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary The effectiveness and safety of the anti-cancer agent doxorubicin (anthracycline group medicine) depend on the metabolism and retention of the drug in the human organism. Polymorphism of cytochrome p450 (CYP)-encoding genes and detoxifying enzymes such as CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 were found responsible for variations in the doxorubicin metabolism. Transmembrane transporters such as p-glycoproteins were reported to be involved in cancer tissue retention of doxorubicin. ATP-binding cassette (ABC) family members, including ABCB1 transporters (also known as Multi-Drug Resistance 1 (MDR1)) proteins, were determined to pump out doxorubicin from breast cancer cells, therefore reducing the drug effectiveness. This study critically discusses the latest data about the role of CYP3A4, CYP2D6, and ABCB1 gene polymorphism in the regulation of doxorubicin’s effects in breast cancer patients. The assessment of genetic differences in the expression of doxorubicin metabolizing and transporting enzymes should be explored for the development of personalized medical treatment of breast cancer patients. Abstract Breast cancer (BC) is the prevailing malignancy and major cause of cancer-related death in females. Doxorubicin is a part of BC neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy regimens. The administration of anthracycline derivates, such as doxorubicin, may cause several side effects, including hematological disfunction, gastrointestinal toxicity, hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, and cardiotoxicity. Cardiotoxicity is a major adverse reaction to anthracyclines, and it may vary depending on individual differences in doxorubicin pharmacokinetics. Determination of specific polymorphisms of genes that can alter doxorubicin metabolism was shown to reduce the risk of adverse reactions and improve the safety and efficacy of doxorubicin. Genes which encode cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYP3A4 and CYP2D6), p-glycoproteins (ATP-binding cassette (ABC) family members such as Multi-Drug Resistance 1 (MDR1) protein), and other detoxifying enzymes were shown to control the metabolism and pharmacokinetics of doxorubicin. The effectiveness of doxorubicin is defined by the polymorphism of cytochrome p450 and p-glycoprotein-encoding genes. This study critically discusses the latest data about the role of gene polymorphisms in the regulation of doxorubicin’s anti-BC effects. The correlation of genetic differences with the efficacy and safety of doxorubicin may provide insights for the development of personalized medical treatment for BC patients.

Abstract
The altered activity of drug metabolism enzymes (DMEs) is a hallmark of chemotherapy resistance. Cytochrome P450s (CYPs), mainly CYP3A4, and several oxidoreductases are responsible for Phase I metabolism of doxorubicin (DOX), an anthracycline widely used in breast cancer (BC) treatment. This study aimed to investigate the role of Phase I DMEs involved in the first stages of acquisition of DOX-resistance in BC cells. For this purpose, the expression of 92 DME genes and specific CYP-complex enzymes activities were assessed in either sensitive (MCF-7 parental cells; MCF-7/DOXS) or DOX-resistant (MCF-7/DOXR) cells. The DMEs genes detected to be significantly differentially expressed in MCF-7/DOXR cells (12 CYPs and eight oxidoreductases) were indicated previously to be involved in tumor progression and/or chemotherapy response. The analysis of CYP-mediated activities suggests a putative enhanced CYP3A4-dependent metabolism in MCF-7/DOXR cells. A discrepancy was observed between CYP-enzyme activities and their corresponding levels of mRNA transcripts. This is indicative that the phenotype of DMEs is not linearly correlated with transcription induction responses, confirming the multifactorial complexity of this mechanism. Our results pinpoint the potential role of specific CYPs and oxidoreductases involved in the metabolism of drugs, retinoic and arachidonic acids, in the mechanisms of chemo-resistance to DOX and carcinogenesis of BC.

The effect of ciprofloxacin on doxorubicin cytotoxic activity in the acquired resistance to doxorubicin in DU145 prostate carcinoma cells. MEDICAL ONCOLOGY (NORTHWOOD, LONDON, ENGLAND) 2022; 39:194.

Abstract
The present study aimed to assess the influence of ciprofloxacin (CIP) against the doxorubicin (DOX)-resistant androgen-independent prostate cancer DU145 cells. The DOX-resistant DU145 (DU145/DOX20) cells were established by exposing DU145 cells to the increasing concentrations of DOX. The antiproliferative effect of CIP was examined through employing MTT, colony formation, and 3D culture assays. DU145/DOX20 cells exhibited a twofold higher IC50 value for DOX, an increased ABCB1 transporter activity, and some morphological changes accompanied by a decrease in spheroid size, adhesive and migration potential compared to DU145 cells. CIP (5 and 25 µg mL-1) resulted in a higher reduction in the viability of DU145/DOX20 cells than in DU145 cells. DU145/DOX20 cells were more resistant to CIP in 3D culture compared to the 2D one. No spheroid formation was observed for DU145/DOX20 cells treated with DOX and CIP combination. CIP and DOX, alone or in combination, significantly reduced the growth of DU145 spheroids. CIP in combination with 20 nM DOX prevented the colony formation of DU145 cells. The clonogenicity of DU145/DOX20 cells could not be estimated due to their low adhesive potential. CIP alone caused a significant reduction in the migration of DU145 cells and resulted in a more severe decrease in the wound closure ability of DOX-exposed ones. We identified that CIP enhanced DOX sensitivity in DU145 and DU145/DOX20 cells. This study suggested the co-delivery of low concentrations of CIP and DOX may be a promising strategy in treating the DOX-resistant and -sensitive hormone-refractory prostate cancer.

Abstract
Pathological complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with early breast cancer is correlated with better survival. Meanwhile, an expanding arsenal of post-neoadjuvant treatment strategies have proven beneficial in the absence of pCR, leading to an increased use of neoadjuvant systemic therapy in patients with early breast cancer and the search for predictive biomarkers of response. The better prediction of response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy could enable the escalation or de-escalation of neoadjuvant treatment strategies, with the ultimate goal of improving the clinical management of early breast cancer. Clinico-pathological prognostic factors are currently used to estimate the potential benefit of neoadjuvant systemic treatment but are not accurate enough to allow for personalized response prediction. Other factors have recently been proposed but are not yet implementable in daily clinical practice or remain of limited utility due to the intertumoral heterogeneity of breast cancer. In this review, we describe the current knowledge about predictive factors for response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer patients and highlight the future perspectives that could lead to the better prediction of response, focusing on the current biomarkers used for clinical decision making and the different gene signatures that have recently been proposed for patient stratification and the prediction of response to therapies. We also discuss the intratumoral phenotypic heterogeneity in breast cancers as well as the emerging techniques and relevant pre-clinical models that could integrate this biological factor currently limiting the reliable prediction of response to neoadjuvant systemic therapy.

Abstract
Immunoglobulin A vasculitis (IgAV) nephritis, also known as Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis (HSPN), is a condition in which small blood vessel inflammation and perivascular IgA deposition in the kidney caused by neutrophil activation, which more often leads to chronic kidney disease and accounts for 1%–2% of children with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The treatment principles recommended by the current management guidelines include general drug treatment, support measures and prevention of sequelae, among which the therapeutic drugs include corticosteroids, immunosuppressive agents and angiotensin system inhibitors. However, the concentration range of immunosuppressive therapy is narrow and the individualized difference is large, and the use of corticosteroids does not seem to improve the persistent nephropathy and prognosis of children with IgAV. Therefore, individualized maintenance treatment of the disease and stable renal prognosis are still difficult problems. Genetic information helps to predict drug response in advance. It has been proved that most gene polymorphisms of cytochrome oxidase P450 and drug transporter can affect drug efficacy and adverse reactions (ADR). Drug therapy based on genetics and pharmacogenomics is beneficial to providing safer and more effective treatment for children. Based on the pathogenesis of IgAV, this paper summarizes the current therapeutic drugs, explores potential therapeutic drugs, and focuses on the therapeutic significance of corticosteroids and immunosuppressants in children with IgAV nephritis at the level of pharmacogenomics. In addition, the individualized application of corticosteroids and immunosuppressants in children with different genotypes was analyzed, in order to provide a more comprehensive reference for the individualized treatment of IgAV nephritis in children.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the most frequent cause of cancer death in low- and middle-income countries, in particular among sub-Saharan African women, where response to available anticancer treatment therapy is often limited by the recurrent breast tumours and metastasis, ultimately resulting in decreased overall survival rate. This can also be attributed to African genomes that contain more variation than those from other parts of the world. The purpose of this review is to summarize published evidence on pharmacogenetic and pharmacokinetic aspects related to specific available treatments and the known genetic variabilities associated with metabolism and/or transport of breast cancer drugs, and treatment outcomes when possible. The emphasis is on the African genetic variation and focuses on the genes with the highest strength of evidence, with a close look on CYP2A6, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP3A4/5, CYP19A1, UGT1A4, UGT2B7, UGT2B15, SLC22A16, SLC38A7, FcγR, DPYD, ABCB1, and SULT1A1, which are the genes known to play major roles in the metabolism and/or elimination of the respective anti-breast cancer drugs given to the patients. The genetic variability of their metabolism could be associated with different metabolic phenotypes that may cause reduced patients’ adherence because of toxicity or sub-therapeutic doses. Finally, this knowledge enhances possible personalized treatment approaches, with the possibility of improving survival outcomes in patients with breast cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Escherichia coli is a widely used tool for the over-expression of human proteins for studying structure and function. The toxicity of human proteins for E. coli often hampers the expression. This study aims to find conditions for the expression of a membrane transporter known as the carnitine transporter CT2. The knowledge on this transporter is scarce, thus obtaining the recombinant protein is very important for further studies. METHODS AND RESULTS The cDNAs coding for human CT2 (hCT2) was cloned in the pH6EX3 vector and different transformed E. coli strains were cultured in absence or in presence of glucose. hCT2 expression was obtained. The protein was purified and reconstituted into proteoliposomes in a functionally active state. CONCLUSIONS Using the appropriate IPTG concentration, together with the addition of glucose, hCT2 has been expressed in E. coli. The protein is active and shows capacity to transport carnitine in proteoliposomes. The results have a great interest in basic biochemistry of membrane transporters and applications to human health since hCT2 is involved in human pathology.

Hwang M, Medley S, Shakeel F, Vanderwerff B, Zawistowski M, Kidwell KM, Hertz DL. Lack of association of CYP2B6 pharmacogenetics with cyclophosphamide toxicity in patients with cancer. Support Care Cancer 2022; 30:7355-7363. [PMID: 35606478 DOI: 10.1007/s00520-022-07118-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2022] [Accepted: 04/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Cyclophosphamide is a commonly used cancer agent that is metabolically activated by polymorphic enzymes. This study aims to investigate the association between predicted activity of candidate pharmacogenes with severe toxicity during cyclophosphamide treatment. METHODS Genome-wide genetic data was collected from an institutional genetic data repository for CYP2B6, CYP3A4, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, GSTA1, GSTP1, ALDH1A1, ALDH3A1, ABCC1, ABCB1, and ERCC1. Treatment and toxicity data were retrospectively collected from the patient's medical record. The a priori selected primary hypothesis was that patients who have CYP2B6 reduced metabolizer activity (poor or intermediate (PM/IM) vs. normal (NM) metabolizer) have lower risk of severe toxicity or cyclophosphamide treatment modification due to toxicity. RESULTS In the primary analysis of 510 cyclophosphamide-treated patients with available genetic data, there was no difference in the odds of severe toxicity or treatment modification due to toxicity in CYP2B6 PM/IM vs. NM (odds ratio = 0.97, 95% Confidence Interval: 0.62-1.50, p = 0.88). In an exploratory, statistically uncorrected secondary analysis, carriers of the ALDH1A1 rs8187996 variant had a lower risk of the primary toxicity endpoint compared with wild-type homozygous patients (odds ratio = 0.31, 95% Confidence Interval: 0.09-0.78, p = 0.028). None of the other tested phenotypes or genotypes was associated with the primary or secondary endpoints in unadjusted analysis (all p > 0.05). CONCLUSION The finding that patients who carry ALDH1A1 rs8187996 may have a lower risk of cyclophosphamide toxicity than wild-type patients contradicts a prior finding for this variant and should be viewed with skepticism. We found weak evidence that any of these candidate pharmacogenetic predictors of cyclophosphamide toxicity may be useful to personalize cyclophosphamide dosing to optimize therapeutic outcomes in patients with cancer.

Abstract
Antineoplastic uptake by blast cells in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) could be influenced by influx and efflux transporters, especially solute carriers (SLCs) and ATP-binding cassette family (ABC) pumps. Genetic variability in SLC and ABC could produce interindividual differences in clinical outcomes. A systematic review was performed to evaluate the influence of SLC and ABC polymorphisms and their combinations on efficacy and safety in AML cohorts. Anthracycline intake was especially influenced by SLCO1B1 polymorphisms, associated with lower hepatic uptake, showing higher survival rates and toxicity in AML studies. The variant alleles of ABCB1 were related to anthracycline intracellular accumulation, increasing complete remission, survival and toxicity. Similar findings have been suggested with ABCC1 and ABCG2 polymorphisms. Polymorphisms of SLC29A1, responsible for cytarabine uptake, demonstrated significant associations with survival and response in Asian populations. Promising results were observed with SLC and ABC combinations regarding anthracycline toxicities. Knowledge of the role of transporter pharmacogenetics could explain the differences observed in drug disposition in the blast. Further studies including novel targeted therapies should be performed to determine the influence of genetic variability to individualize chemotherapy schemes.

Abstract
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy based on anthracyclines and ifosfamide for high-risk soft tissue sarcomas (STS) of the extremities and trunk is a controversial treatment option. There are substantial interindividual differences in clinical outcomes in patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate, as biomarkers, polymorphisms in genes encoding drug-metabolizing enzymes, drug transporters, or drug targets and their association with toxicity and survival in STS patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. We analysed variants in genes involved in anthracycline metabolism (ABCB1, ABCC2, NQO1, CBR3, and SLC22A16) and in ifosfamide catabolism (ALDH1A1) in 79 treated patients. Two genes showed significant association after adjusted multivariate analysis: ABCC2 and ALDH1A1. In patients treated with anthracyclines, ABCC2 rs3740066 was associated with risk of febrile neutropenia (p = 0.031), and with decreased overall survival (OS) (p = 0.024). ABCC2 rs2273697 was associated with recurrence-free survival (RFS) (p = 0.024). In patients treated with ifosfamide, ALDH1A1 rs3764435 was associated with RFS (p = 0.046). Our pharmacogenetic study shows for the first time that variants in genes regulating the metabolism of neoadjuvant chemotherapy may be helpful to predict toxicity and survival benefit in high-risk STS treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Further validation studies are needed to establish their clinical utility.

Abstract
The human Solute Carrier 22 family (SLC22), also termed the organic ion transporter family, consists of 28 distinct multi-membrane spanning proteins, which phylogenetically cluster together according to their charge specificity for organic cations (OCTs), organic anions (OATs) and organic zwitterion/cations (OCTNs). Some SLC22 family members are well characterized in terms of their substrates, transport mechanisms and expression patterns, as well as their roles in human physiology and pharmacology, whereas others remain orphans with no known ligands. Pharmacologically, SLC22 family members play major roles as determinants of the absorption and disposition of many prescription drugs, and several including the renal transporters, OCT2, OAT1 and OAT3 are targets for many clinically important drug-drug interactions. In addition, mutations in some of these transporters (SLC22A5 (OCTN2) and SLC22A12 (URAT1) lead to rare monogenic disorders. Genetic polymorphisms in SLC22 transporters have been associated with common human disease, drug response and various phenotypic traits. Three members in this family were deorphaned in very recently: SLC22A14, SLC22A15 and SLC22A24, and found to transport specific compounds such as riboflavin (SLC22A14), anti-oxidant zwitterions (SLC22A15) and steroid conjugates (SLC22A24). Their physiologic and pharmacological roles need further investigation. This review aims to summarize the substrates, expression patterns and transporter mechanisms of individual SLC22 family members and their roles in human disease and drug disposition and response. Gaps in our understanding of SLC22 family members are described. Significance Statement In recent years, three members of the SLC22 family of transporters have been deorphaned and found to play important roles in the transport of diverse solutes. New research has furthered our understanding of the mechanisms, pharmacological roles, and clinical impact of SLC22 transporters. This minireview provides overview of SLC22 family members of their physiologic and pharmacologic roles, the impact of genetic variants in the SLC22 family on disease and drug response, and summary of recent studies deorphaning SLC22 family members.

Pharmacogenomic associations of cyclophosphamide pharmacokinetic candidate genes with event-free survival in intermediate-risk rhabdomyosarcoma: A report from the Children's Oncology Group. Pediatr Blood Cancer 2021; 68:e29203.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In vitro data suggest that the growth of rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) cells is suppressed in a concentration-dependent manner by 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide (4HCY), the principal precursor to the cytotoxic metabolite of cyclophosphamide (CY). Various retrospective studies on the relationship between genes encoding proteins involved in the formation and elimination of 4HCY (i.e., 4HCY pharmacokinetics) and cyclophosphamide (CY) efficacy and toxicity have been conflicting. PROCEDURES We evaluated germline pharmacogenetics in 262 patients with newly diagnosed intermediate-risk RMS who participated in one prospective Children's Oncology Group clinical trial, ARST0531. Patients were treated with either vincristine/actinomycin/cyclophosphamide (VAC) or VAC alternating with vincristine/irinotecan (VAC/VI). We analyzed the associations between event-free survival and 394 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in 14 drug metabolizing enzymes or transporters involved in 4HCY pharmacokinetics. RESULTS Eight SNPs were associated (p-value < .05 by univariate analysis) with 3-year event-free survival; no SNPs survived a false discovery rate < 0.05. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that a pharmacogenomic approach to therapy personalization of cyclophosphamide in intermediate-risk rhabdomyosarcoma is not viable. Other methods to personalize therapy should be explored.

Abstract
Pharmacogenetics is one of the cornerstones of Personalized Precision Medicine that needs to be implemented in the routine of our patients' clinical management in order to tailor their therapies as much as possible, with the aim of maximizing efficacy and minimizing toxicity. This is of great importance, especially in pediatric cancer and even more in complex malignancies such as neuroblastoma, where the rates of therapeutic success are still below those of many other types of tumors. The studies are mainly focused on germline genetic variants and in the present review, state of the art is presented: which are the variants that have a level of evidence high enough to be implemented in the clinic, and how to distinguish them from the ones that still need validation to confirm their utility. Further aspects as relevant characteristics regarding ontogeny and future directions in the research will also be discussed.

Abstract
The cancer genome is characterized by extensive variability, in the form of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) or structural variations such as Copy Number Alterations (CNAs) across wider genomic areas. At the molecular level, most SNPs and/or CNAs reside in non-coding sequences, ultimately affecting the regulation of oncogenes and/or tumor-suppressors in a cancer-specific manner. Notably, inherited non-coding variants can predispose for cancer decades prior to disease onset. Furthermore, accumulation of additional non-coding driver mutations during progression of the disease, gives rise to genomic instability, acting as the driving force of neoplastic development and malignant evolution. Therefore, detection and characterization of such mutations can improve risk assessment for healthy carriers and expand the diagnostic and therapeutic toolbox for the patient. This review focuses on functional variants that reside in transcribed or not transcribed non-coding regions of the cancer genome and presents a collection of appropriate state-of-the-art methodologies to study them.

Abstract
The most common cancer diagnosis in female population is breast cancer, which affects every year about 2.0 million women worldwide. In recent years, significant progress has been made in oncological therapy, in systemic treatment, and in radiotherapy of breast cancer. Unfortunately, the improvement in the effectiveness of oncological treatment and prolonging patients' life span is associated with more frequent occurrence of organ complications, which are side effects of this treatment. Current recommendations suggest a periodic monitoring of the cardiovascular system in course of oncological treatment. The monitoring includes the assessment of occurrence of risk factors for cardiovascular diseases in combination with the evaluation of the left ventricular systolic function using echocardiography and electrocardiography as well as with the analysis of the concentration of cardiac biomarkers. The aim of this review was critical assessment of the breast cancer therapy cardiotoxicity and the analysis of methods its detections. The new cardio-specific biomarkers in serum, the development of modern imaging techniques (Global Longitudinal Strain and Three-Dimensional Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction) and genotyping, and especially their combined use, may become a useful tool for identifying patients at risk of developing cardiotoxicity, who require further cardiovascular monitoring or cardioprotective therapy.

CYP2B6 Functional Variability in Drug Metabolism and Exposure Across Populations-Implication for Drug Safety, Dosing, and Individualized Therapy. Front Genet 2021; 12:692234. [PMID: 34322158 PMCID: PMC8313315 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2021.692234] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2021] [Accepted: 06/14/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. It is well-known that individual genetic make-up is one of the causative factors of ADRs. Approximately 14 million single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are distributed throughout the entire human genome and every patient has a distinct genetic make-up which influences their response to drug therapy. Cytochrome P450 2B6 (CYP2B6) is involved in the metabolism of antiretroviral, antimalarial, anticancer, and antidepressant drugs. These drug classes are commonly in use worldwide and face specific population variability in side effects and dosing. Parts of this variability may be caused by single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the CYP2B6 gene that are associated with altered protein expression and catalytic function. Population variability in the CYP2B6 gene leads to changes in drug metabolism which may result in adverse drug reactions or therapeutic failure. So far more than 30 non-synonymous variants in CYP2B6 gene have been reported. The occurrence of these variants show intra and interpopulation variability, thus affecting drug efficacy at individual and population level. Differences in disease conditions and affordability of drug therapy further explain why some individuals or populations are more exposed to CYP2B6 pharmacogenomics associated ADRs than others. Variabilities in drug efficacy associated with the pharmacogenomics of CYP2B6 have been reported in various populations. The aim of this review is to highlight reports from various ethnicities that emphasize on the relationship between CYP2B6 pharmacogenomics variability and the occurrence of adverse drug reactions. In vitro and in vivo studies evaluating the catalytic activity of CYP2B6 variants using various substrates will also be discussed. While implementation of pharmacogenomic testing for personalized drug therapy has made big progress, less data on pharmacogenetics of drug safety has been gained in terms of CYP2B6 substrates. Therefore, reviewing the existing evidence on population variability in CYP2B6 and ADR risk profiles suggests that, in addition to other factors, the knowledge on pharmacogenomics of CYP2B6 in patient treatment may be useful for the development of personalized medicine with regards to genotype-based prescription.

Abstract
PURPOSE Genetic variation in the activation of the prodrug cyclophosphamide (CP) by cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes has been shown to influence outcomes. However, CYP are also subject to phenoconversion due to either the effects of comedications or cancer associated down-regulation of expression. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between CP bioactivation with CYP2B6 and CYP2C19 genotype, as well as CYP2C19 phenotype, in breast cancer patients. METHODS CP and the active metabolite levels were assessed in breast cancer patients (n = 34) at cycle 1 and cycle 3 of treatment. Patients were genotyped for a series of SNP known to affect CYP2B6 and CYP2C19 function. The activity of CYP2C19 was also assessed using a probe drug. RESULTS We found a significant linear gene-dose relationship with CYP2B6 coding SNP and formation of 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide. A possible association with CYP2C19 null genotype at cycle 1 was obscured at cycle 3 due to the substantial intra-individual change in CP bioactivation on subsequent dosing. CONCLUSION Comedications may be the cause for this inter-occasion variation in bioactivation of cyclophosphamide and the ensuing phenoconversion may account for the conflicting reports in the literature about the relationship between CYP2C19 genotype and CP bioactivation pharmacokinetics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Breast cancer (BC) is known as the most common malignancy in women. Environmental and genetic factors are associated with BC progression. Genetic polymorphisms have been reported as important risk factors of BC prognosis and drug response. Main body: Therefore, in the present review, we have summarized all single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) which have been significantly associated with drug response in BC patients around the world. We have also categorized the reported SNPs based on their related genes functions to clarify the molecular biology of drug responses in BC. CONCLUSION The majority of SNPs were reported in detoxifying enzymes, which introduced such genes as the main genetic risk factors during BC drug responses. This review paves the way for introducing a prognostic panel of SNPs for the BC patients in the world.

Abstract
The treatment options for breast cancer include endocrine therapy, targeted therapy and chemotherapy. However, some patients with triple-negative breast cancer cannot benefit from these methods. Therefore, novel therapeutic targets should be developed. The cytochrome P450 enzyme (CYP) is a crucial metabolic oxidase, which is involved in the metabolism of endogenous and exogenous substances in the human body. Some products undergoing the metabolic pathway of the CYP enzyme, such as hydroxylated polychlorinated biphenyls and 4-chlorobiphenyl, are toxic to humans and are considered to be potential carcinogens. As a class of multi-gene superfamily enzymes, the subtypes of CYPs are selectively expressed in breast cancer tissues, especially in the basal-like type. In addition, CYPs are essential for the activation or inactivation of anticancer drugs. The association between CYP expression and cancer risk, tumorigenesis, progression, metastasis and prognosis has been widely reported in basic and clinical studies. The present review describes the current findings regarding the importance of exploring metabolic pathways of CYPs and gene polymorphisms for the development of vital therapeutic targets for breast cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Doxorubicin plays an essential role in the treatment of paediatric cancers. Defining genotypes with a higher risk for developing anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity could help to reduce cardiotoxicity. METHODS Data originated from a phase II study assessing the pharmacokinetics of doxorubicin in 100 children. Studied patients (0-17 years) were treated for solid tumours or leukaemia. Two cycles of doxorubicin were studied. Concentrations of natriuretic peptides proANP, BNP and NT-proBNP and cardiac troponins T and I were measured at five time points before, during and after two cycles of doxorubicin treatment. Genotypes of 17 genetic polymorphisms in genes encoding for anthracycline metabolizing enzymes and drug transporters were determined for each patient. We analysed the influence of genotypes on cardiac biomarker concentrations at different time points by a Kruskal-Wallis test. To perform a pairwise comparison significant genetic polymorphisms with more than two genotypes were analysed by a post hoc test. RESULTS The Kruskal-Wallis tests and the post hoc-tests showed a significant association for seven genetic polymorphisms (ABCB1-rs1128503, ABCB1-rs1045642, ABCC1-rs4148350, CBR3-rs8133052, NQO2-in/del, SLC22A16-rs714368 and SLC22A16-rs6907567) with the concentration of at least one biomarker at one or more time points. We could not identify any polymorphism with a consistent effect on any biomarker over the whole treatment period. CONCLUSIONS In this study of patients treated with doxorubicin for different tumour entities, seven genetic polymorphisms possibly influencing the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of doxorubicin could lead occasionally to differences in the concentration of cardiac biomarkers. Since, the role of cardiac biomarkers for monitoring anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity has not yet been clarified, further trials with a long follow-up time are required to assess the impact of these genetic polymorphisms on chemotherapy-related cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Despite significant advances in treatment strategies over the past decade, selective treatment of breast cancer with limited side-effects still remains a great challenge. The cytochrome P450 (CYP) family of enzymes contribute to cancer cell proliferation, cell signaling and drug metabolism with implications for treatment outcomes. A clearer understanding of CYP expression is important in the pathogenesis of breast cancer as several isoforms play critical roles in metabolising steroid hormones and xenobiotics that contribute to the genesis of breast cancer. The purpose of this review is to provide an update on how the presence of CYPs impacts on standard of care (SoC) drugs used to treat breast cancer as well as discuss opportunities to exploit CYP expression for therapeutic intervention. Finally, we provide our thoughts on future work in CYP research with the aim of supporting ongoing efforts to develop drugs with improved therapeutic index for patient benefit.

Abstract
The anticancer agents of the anthracycline family are commonly associated with the potential to cause severe toxicity to the heart. To solve the question of why particular a patient is predisposed to anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (AIC), researchers have conducted numerous pharmacogenomic studies and identified more than 60 loci associated with AIC. To date, none of these identified loci have been developed into US FDA-approved biomarkers for use in routine clinical practice. With advances in the application of human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes, sequencing technologies and genomic editing techniques, variants associated with AIC can now be validated in a human model. Here, we provide a comprehensive overview of known genetic variants associated with AIC from the perspective of how human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes can be used to help better explain the genomic predilection to AIC.

Abstract
The present study investigated the prevalence of CYP2D6*4, CYP3A5*3 and SULT1A1*2, using PCR-RFLP, in normal and oral cancer (OC) patients that were stratified by OC subtype and gender. The risk of cancer, 5-year cumulative survival and hazard's ratio (HR) with respect to risk factors and clinical factors were estimated using Fisher's exact test, Kaplan-Meier analysis, and Cox proportional hazards models. CYP2D6*4 'GA' lowered the risk of buccal mucosa cancer (BMC) in males (OR = 0.37), whereas, 'G' allele of CYP3A5*3 increased risk of tongue cancer (TC) (OR = 1.67). SULT1A1*2 'GA' increased the risk of TC (OR = 2.36) and BMC (OR = 3.25) in females. The 5-year survival of the patients depended on factors like age, lymphovascular spread (LVS), perinodal spread (PNS), recurrence, tobacco, and alcohol. CYP3A5*3 'AG' and 'GG' had decreased the hazard ratio (HR) for BMC females when inflammatory infiltrate alone or along with other covariates, LVS, PNI, PNS, metastasis, recurrence, and relapse was adjusted. Similarly, CYP3A5*3 'AG' decreased the risk of death (HR = 0.05) when the grade was adjusted. SULT1A1*2 'GA' had decreased HR for TC males (HR = 0.08) after adjusting for inflammatory infiltrate, LVS, perineural invasion (PNI), PNS, metastasis, recurrence, and relapse. Further, our bioinformatics study revealed the presence of a CpG island within the CYP2D6 and a CTCF binding site upstream of CYP2D6. Interestingly, three CpG islands and two CTCF binding sites were also identified near the SULT1A1. In conclusion, the SNPs altered risk and survival of BMC and TC differentially in a gender specified manner, that varied with clinical and risk factors.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although epirubicin has significantly improved outcome in breast cancer (BC) patients, it is responsible for myocardial dysfunction that affects patients' quality of life. The use of 2D global longitudinal strain (GLS) has been reported to detect early myocardial dysfunction. The aim of this study was to evaluate how GLS changes can predict cardiotoxicity. METHODS We conducted a prospective study from March 2018 to March 2020 on 66 patients with no cardiovascular risk factors, who presented with BC and received epirubicin. We measured left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and GLS before chemotherapy, at three months (T3), and at 12 months (T12) from the last epirubicin infusion. Chemotherapy-Related-Cardiac-Dysfunction (CTRCD) was defined as a decrease of 10% in LVEF to a value below 53% according to ASE and EACI 2014 expert consensus. RESULTS The mean age at diagnosis was 47 ± 9 years old. At baseline, median LVEF was 70% and median GLS was -21%. Shortly after chemotherapy completion, two patients presented with symptomatic heart failure while asymptomatic CTRCD was revealed in three other patients at T12. Three months after the last epirubicin infusion, median LVEF was 65%, median GLS was -19%, and median GLS variation was 5%. However, in patients who presented with subsequent CTRCD, median GLS at T3 was -16% and median GLS variation was 19% (p=0.002 and p < 0.001, respectively, when compared to patients who did not develop cardiotoxicity). Persistent GLS decrease at T3 was an independent predictor of CTRCD at T12. Age and left-sided thoracic irradiation did not increase the risk of cardiotoxicity in our study while the cumulative dose of epirubicin significantly affected cardiologic findings (p=0.001). CONCLUSION This was the first North African study that assesses the value of measuring GLS to early detect cardiotoxicity. Patients whose GLS remained decreased after 3 months from anthracyclines-base chemotherapy had an increased risk for developing subsequent CTRCD. Further studies with larger sample size are warranted to identify the best cardioprotective molecules to be initiated in these patients before LVEF declines.

Abstract
Anthracycline uptake could be affected by influx and efflux transporters in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Combinations of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of wild-type genotype of influx transporters (SLC22A16, SLCO1B1) and homozygous variant genotypes of ABC polymorphisms (ABCB1, ABCC1, ABCC2, ABCG2) were evaluated in 225 adult de novo AML patients. No differences in complete remission were reported, but higher induction death was observed with combinations of SLCO1B1 rs4149056 and ABCB1 (triple variant haplotype, rs1128503), previously associated with ABCB1 and SLCO1B1 SNPs. Several combinations of SLCO1B1 and SLC22A16 with ABCB1 SNPs were associated with higher toxicities, including nephrotoxicity and hepatotoxicity, neutropenia, previously related to ABCB1, and a novel correlation with mucositis. Combination of SLC22A16 rs714368 and ABCG2 rs2231142 was related to cardiac toxicity, reproducing previous correlations with ABCG2. This study shows the impact of transporter polymorphisms in AML chemotherapy safety. Further prospective studies with larger populations are needed to validate these associations.

Abstract
Individual cells and epithelia control the chemical exchange with the surrounding environment by the fine-tuned expression, localization, and function of an array of transmembrane proteins that dictate the selective permeability of the lipid bilayer to small molecules, as actual gatekeepers to the interface with the extracellular space. Among the variety of channels, transporters, and pumps that localize to cell membrane, organic cation transporters (OCTs) are considered to be extremely relevant in the transport across the plasma membrane of the majority of the endogenous substances and drugs that are positively charged near or at physiological pH. In humans, the following six organic cation transporters have been characterized in regards to their respective substrates, all belonging to the solute carrier 22 (SLC22) family: the organic cation transporters 1, 2, and 3 (OCT1–3); the organic cation/carnitine transporter novel 1 and 2 (OCTN1 and N2); and the organic cation transporter 6 (OCT6). OCTs are highly expressed on the plasma membrane of polarized epithelia, thus, playing a key role in intestinal absorption and renal reabsorption of nutrients (e.g., choline and carnitine), in the elimination of waste products (e.g., trimethylamine and trimethylamine N-oxide), and in the kinetic profile and therapeutic index of several drugs (e.g., metformin and platinum derivatives). As part of the Special Issue Physiology, Biochemistry, and Pharmacology of Transporters for Organic Cations, this article critically presents the physio-pathological, pharmacological, and toxicological roles of OCTs in the tissues in which they are primarily expressed.

Abstract
Metabolic flexibility is a peculiar hallmark of cancer cells. A growing number of observations reveal that tumors can utilize a wide range of substrates to sustain cell survival and proliferation. The diversity of carbon sources is indicative of metabolic heterogeneity not only across different types of cancer but also within those sharing a common origin. Apart from the well-assessed alteration in glucose and amino acid metabolisms, there are pieces of evidence that cancer cells display alterations of lipid metabolism as well; indeed, some tumors use fatty acid oxidation (FAO) as the main source of energy and express high levels of FAO enzymes. In this metabolic pathway, the cofactor carnitine is crucial since it serves as a “shuttle-molecule” to allow fatty acid acyl moieties entering the mitochondrial matrix where these molecules are oxidized via the β-oxidation pathway. This role, together with others played by carnitine in cell metabolism, underlies the fine regulation of carnitine traffic among different tissues and, within a cell, among different subcellular compartments. Specific membrane transporters mediate carnitine and carnitine derivatives flux across the cell membranes. Among the SLCs, the plasma membrane transporters OCTN2 (Organic cation transport novel 2 or SLC22A5), CT2 (Carnitine transporter 2 or SLC22A16), MCT9 (Monocarboxylate transporter 9 or SLC16A9) and ATB0, + [Sodium- and chloride-dependent neutral and basic amino acid transporter B(0+) or SLC6A14] together with the mitochondrial membrane transporter CAC (Mitochondrial carnitine/acylcarnitine carrier or SLC25A20) are the most acknowledged to mediate the flux of carnitine. The concerted action of these proteins creates a carnitine network that becomes relevant in the context of cancer metabolic rewiring. Therefore, molecular mechanisms underlying modulation of function and expression of carnitine transporters are dealt with furnishing some perspective for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Pharmacogenomics is an evolving tool of precision medicine. Recently, due to the introduction of next-generation sequencing and projects generating "Big Data", a plethora of new genetic variants in pharmacogenes have been discovered. Cancer resistance is a major complication often preventing successful anticancer treatments. Pharmacogenomics of both somatic mutations in tumor cells and germline variants may help optimize targeted treatments and improve the response to conventional oncological therapy. In addition, integrative approaches combining copy number variations and long noncoding RNA profiling with germline and somatic variations seem to be a promising approach as well. In pharmacology, expression and enzyme activity are traditionally the more studied aspects of ATP-binding cassette transporters and cytochromes P450. In this review, we briefly introduce the field of pharmacogenomics and the advancements driven by next-generation sequencing and outline the possible roles of genetic variation in the two large pharmacogene superfamilies. Although the evidence needs further substantiation, somatic and copy number variants as well as rare variants and common polymorphisms in these genes could all affect response to cancer therapy. Regulation by long noncoding RNAs has also been shown to play a role. However, in all these areas, more comprehensive studies on larger sets of patients are needed.

Acute thrombosis of everolimus-eluting platinum chromium stent caused by impaired prasugrel metabolism due to cytochrome P450 enzyme 2B6*2 (C64T) polymorphism: a case report. Eur Heart J Case Rep 2020; 4:1-7. [PMID: 32974447 PMCID: PMC7501903 DOI: 10.1093/ehjcr/ytaa137] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2019] [Revised: 11/30/2019] [Accepted: 04/30/2020] [Indexed: 11/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and P2Y12 receptor inhibitor is an important option for preventing acute stent thrombosis after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). CASE SUMMARY A 72-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Emergent coronary angiography identified the occlusion in the proximal left anterior descending artery. This lesion was successfully treated by thrombus aspiration and an everolimus-eluting platinum chromium stent implantation with loading of aspirin 200 mg and prasugrel 20 mg. However, acute closure of the stent occurred 1 h after PCI. P2Y12 reaction units (PRU) measured using VerifyNow assay was 282, suggesting high platelet reactivity on prasugrel. After adding cilostazol 200 mg, recanalization was successfully obtained by thrombus aspiration and ballooning under intra-aortic balloon pump. Thereafter, PRU decreased to 266 at 4 h after PCI, and 49 the next day, implying full inhibition of platelet reactivity on prasugrel. Fortunately, no stent thrombosis has recurred since then. Genotype analysis of cytochrome P450 enzyme (CYP) demonstrated CYP2B6*1/*2 polymorphism leading to impaired metabolism of prasugrel. Based on these findings, acute stent thrombosis in the present case might have been caused by delayed expression of prasugrel effects due to CYP2B6*2 (C64T) polymorphism. DISCUSSION In cases of stent thrombosis, we should consider the possibility of poor response to P2Y12 receptor inhibitors due to CYP polymorphism. Assessment of platelet aggregation and CYP genotype may be warranted.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most prevalent types of cancer worldwide with high morbidity and mortality rates. Treatment modalities include systemic therapy, in which chemotherapy is a major component in many cases. Several chemotherapeutic agents are used in combinations or as single agents with many adverse events occurring in variable frequencies. These events can be a significant barrier in completing the treatment regimens. Germline genomic variants are thought of as potential determinants in chemotherapy response and the development of side effects. Some pharmacogenomic studies were designed to explore germline variants that can be used as biomarkers for predicting developing toxicity or adverse events during chemotherapy in BC. In this review, we reassess and summarize the major findings of pharmacogenomic studies of chemotherapy toxicity during BC management. In addition, deficiencies hampering utilizing these findings and the potential targets of future research are emphasized. Main insufficiencies in toxicity pharmacogenomics studies originate from study design, sample limitations, heterogeneity of selected genes, variants, and toxicity definitions. With the advent of high throughput genotyping techniques, researchers are expected to explore the identified as well as the potential genetic biomarkers of toxicity and efficacy to improve BC management. However, to achieve this, the limitations of previous work should be evaluated and avoided to reach more conclusive and translatable evidence for personalizing BC chemotherapy.

Abstract
The study describes a relationship between the 3′UTR variants, clinicopathological parameters and response to chemotherapy. We analyzed 33 germline polymorphisms in 3′UTRs of ADME genes in 305 breast cancer women treated with FAC regime. Clinical endpoints of this study were: overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall response defined as treatment failure-free survival (TFFS). The shortened OS was connected with the presence of NR1/2 rs3732359 AA, SLC22A16 rs7756222 CC, as well as SLC22A16 rs9487402 allele G and clinical factors belonging to TNM classification: tumor size >1 cm, nodal involvement and presence of metastases. PFS was related to two polymorphisms PGR rs1824125 GG, PGR rs12224560 CC and SLC22A16 rs7756222 CC as well as preexisting metastases. The RFS was shortened due to the DPYD rs291593 CC, AKR1C3 rs3209896 AG and negative expression of PGR. The presence of ALDH5A1 rs1054899 allele A, lack of pre-chemotherapy surgery and negative status of PGR correlated with worse treatment response. The germline variants commonly present in the population are important factors determining the response to treatment. We observed the effect of the accumulation of genetic and clinical factors on poor survival prognosis and overall treatment response.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Management of patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy is complicated by a very high rate of adverse drug reactions which is even more challenging in developing countries like Ethiopia where the toxicity profile of chemotherapy is lacking. The present study aimed at evaluating the toxicity profile of Doxorubicin-Cyclophosphamide (AC) and Doxorubicin-Cyclophosphamide→Paclitaxel (AC→T) regimens among 146 patients with breast cancer in Ethiopia. METHODS This prospective cohort study, with the median of six months' follow-up, was conducted from January 1 to September 30, 2017 GC at the only nationwide oncology center, Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital (TASH), Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Seventy-one patients received AC, while 75 received AC-T regimen. The toxicity with the highest grade during any cycle was considered as the toxicity grade for that patient. SPSS version 22 was used for analysis. RESULTS The overall frequent non-hematological adverse drug reactions reported for both regimens were fatigue 144 (98.7%), dysgeusia 142 (97.3%), skin hyperpigmentation 141 (96.6%), nausea 136 (93.2%), vomiting 129 (88.4%), gastritis 122 (83.6%), peripheral neuropathy 108 (74%), and myalgia/arthralgia 110 (75.3%). Neutropenia 107 (73.3%), leukopenia 102 (69.9%), and anemia 51 (34.9%) were the most frequent overall grade hematological toxicities reported. However, those received AC regimen suffered more from grade 2 and above leukopenia (35.2% vs. 17.3%, P = 0.014), anemia (16.9% vs. 2.7%, P = 0.004), and alkaline phosphatase increment (11.3% vs. 2.7%, P = 0.039) than AC-T regimen. On the contrary, those received AC-T regimen suffered more from severe arthralgia/myalgia (2.8% vs. 2%, P = 0.001), peripheral neuropathy (1.4% vs. 36%, P = 0.000), and gastritis (14.1% vs. 29.3%, P = 0.026) than AC regimen. Pretreatment blood cell counts, having stage IV breast tumor, older age, and lower body surface area were significant predictors of grade 2 to above hematological toxicities. Older age, arthralgia/myalgia, and skin hyperpigmentation occurred during the cohort were significant predictors of grade 2 to above oral mucositis, peripheral neuropathy, and fatigue, respectively. CONCLUSION Patients who received the AC regimen suffered more from hematological abnormalities, while those on the AC-T regimen experienced more of non-hematological toxicities. Overall, we report high incidences of AC and AC-T regimens-induced toxicities in Ethiopian women with breast cancer, and they may require prior support based on pretreatment blood counts, age and body surface area, and close follow-up during chemotherapy.

Abstract
The fruition, commercialisation and clinical application combining nano-engineering, nanomedicine and material science for utilisation in drug delivery is becoming a reality. The successful integration of nanomaterial in nanotherapeutics requires their critical development to ensure physiological and biological compatibility. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) are attractive nanocarriers due to their biodegradable, biocompatible, and relative malleable porous frameworks that can be functionalized for enhanced targeting and delivery in a variety of disease models. The optimal formulation of an MSN with polyethylene glycol (2% and 5%) and chitosan was undertaken, to produce sterically stabilized, hydrophilic MSNs, capable of efficient loading and delivery of the hydrophobic anti-neoplastic drug, doxorubicin (DOX). The pH-sensitive release kinetics of DOX, together with the anticancer, apoptosis and cell-cycle activities of DOX-loaded MSNs in selected cancer cell lines were evaluated. MSNs of 36-60 nm in size, with a pore diameter of 9.8 nm, and a cumulative surface area of 710.36 m²/g were produced. The 2% pegylated MSN formulation (PCMSN) had the highest DOX loading capacity (0.98 mgdox/mgmsn), and a sustained release profile over 72 h. Pegylated-drug nanoconjugates were effective at a concentration range between 20-50 μg/mL, inducing apoptosis in cancer cells, and affirming their potential as effective drug delivery vehicles.

Abstract
Doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide are used to treat breast cancer, but they also cause infertility through off-target cytotoxicity towards proliferating granulosa cells that surround eggs. Each chemotherapeutic generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) but the effects of the combination, or the antioxidants alpha (αToc) and gamma tocopherol (γToc) on ROS in breast cancer or ovarian cells are unknown. Human breast cancer (MCF7, T47D) and ovarian cancer (OVCAR, COV434) cells were loaded with DCDFA and exposed (1, 2, 3, 24 h) to the MCF7-derived EC25 values of individual agents, or to combinations of these. ROS were quantified and viable cells enumerated using crystal violet or DAPI. Each chemotherapeutic killed ~25% of MCF7, T47D and OVCAR cells, but 57 ± 2% (doxorubicin) and 66 ± 2% (cyclophosphamide) of the COV434 granulosa cells. The combined chemotherapeutics decreased COV434 cell viability to 34 ± 5% of control whereas doxorubicin + cyclophosphamide + γToc reduced ROS within 3 h (p < 0.01) and reduced cytotoxicity to 54 ± 4% (p < 0.05). αToc was not cytotoxic, whereas γToc killed ~25% of the breast cancer but none of the ovarian cells. Adding γToc to the combined chemotherapeutics did not change ROS or cytotoxicity in MCF7, T47D or OVCAR cells. The protection γToc afforded COV434 granulosa cells against chemotherapy-induced ROS and cytotoxicity suggests potential for fertility preservation.

Abstract
As a widely used alkylating agent, cyclophosphamide often leads to various toxicities. Severe hepatotoxicity has been rarely reported in breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy containing cyclophosphamide. Differences in cyclophosphamide metabolism may contribute to variability in adverse events of patients. Here, we report on a case of a 68-year-old Chinese female with breast cancer who experienced severe and prolonged hepatotoxicity induced by cyclophosphamide. Pharmacogenetic tests showed that she was a carrier of CYP2B6*7 allele and this is the first case of a CYP2B6*7 variant in the Han Chinese population so far reported. In addition, the patient was also a carrier of an ALDH3A1*2 variant potentially contributing to the occurrence of hepatotoxicity. CYP2B6 and ALDH3A1 genotyping may play a role in guiding cyclophosphamide therapy.

In addition, perturbation of SLC transporter function underlies numerous human diseases, which renders SLC transporters attractive drug targets. Common genetic polymorphisms in SLC genes have been associated with inter-individual differences in drug efficacy and toxicity. However, despite their tremendous clinical relevance, epidemiological data of these variants are mostly derived from heterogeneous cohorts of small sample size and the genetic SLC landscape beyond these common variants has not been comprehensively assessed. In this study, we analyzed Next-Generation Sequencing data from 141,456 individuals from seven major human populations to evaluate genetic variability, its functional consequences, and ethnogeographic patterns across the entire SLC superfamily of transporters. Importantly, of the 204,287 exonic single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) which we identified, 99.8% were present in less than 1% of analyzed alleles. Comprehensive computational analyses using 13 partially orthogonal algorithms that predict the functional impact of genetic variations based on sequence information, evolutionary conservation, structural considerations, and functional genomics data revealed that each individual genome harbors 29.7 variants with putative functional effects, of which rare variants account for 18%. Inter-ethnic variability was found to be extensive, and 83% of deleterious SLC variants were only identified in a single population. Interestingly, population-specific carrier frequencies of loss-of-function variants in SLC genes associated with recessive Mendelian disease recapitulated the ethnogeographic variation of the corresponding disorders, including cystinuria in Jewish individuals, type II citrullinemia in East Asians, and lysinuric protein intolerance in Finns, thus providing a powerful resource for clinical geneticists to inform about population-specific prevalence and allelic composition of Mendelian SLC diseases. In summary, we present the most comprehensive data set of SLC variability published to date, which can provide insights into inter-individual differences in SLC transporter function and guide the optimization of population-specific genotyping strategies in the bourgeoning fields of personalized medicine and precision public health.

Abstract
Motivation Network propagation has been widely used to aggregate and amplify the effects of tumor mutations using knowledge of molecular interaction networks. However, propagating mutations through interactions irrelevant to cancer leads to erosion of pathway signals and complicates the identification of cancer subtypes. Results To address this problem we introduce a propagation algorithm, Network-Based Supervised Stratification (NBS2), which learns the mutated subnetworks underlying tumor subtypes using a supervised approach. Given an annotated molecular network and reference tumor mutation profiles for which subtypes have been predefined, NBS2 is trained by adjusting the weights on interaction features such that network propagation best recovers the provided subtypes. After training, weights are fixed such that mutation profiles of new tumors can be accurately classified. We evaluate NBS2 on breast and glioblastoma tumors, demonstrating that it outperforms the best network-based approaches in classifying tumors to known subtypes for these diseases. By interpreting the interaction weights, we highlight characteristic molecular pathways driving selected subtypes. Availability and implementation The NBS2 package is freely available at: https://github.com/wzhang1984/NBSS. Supplementary information Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
