Effects of CYP3A4*1G and CYP3A5*3 polymorphisms on pharmacokinetics of tylerdipine hydrochloride in healthy Chinese subjects

Cyp3A4 *1G polymorphism is associated with alcohol drinking: A 5-year retrospective single centered population-based study in China

INTRODUCTION

We investigated the epidemiology of Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 genotype and the relationship between CYP3A4 genotype and alcohol drinking habits.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

A single-centered retrospective study was conducted on 630 patients who underwent CYP3A4*1G genetic testing. Their relevant information on epidemiology and etiology was collected. Laboratory testing, including CYP3A4*1G genotype, liver function tests, and serum lipid measurements were performed. Bi-variate logistic regressions were used to examine the relationship between variables. The relationship between alcohol drinking and CYP3A4*1G genotype was estimated. Demographic and clinical features were analyzed. Participants with drinking history were divided into non-heavy drinking and heavy drinking groups. Liver function and dyslipidemia of participants with drinking histories were compared between CYP3A4*1G mutation (GA+AA) and wild-type (GG) groups.

RESULTS

Participants with CYP3A4*1G mutation(GA+AA) had an increased adjusted odds ratio (AOR) of 2.56 (95% CI, 1.4-4.65; P = 0.00) for alcohol abuse when compared with participants without CYP3A4 mutation (GG). In the subgroup of participants with alcohol abuse, there are no significant differences in liver injury levels and serum lipid levels between CYP3A4*1G mutant and wild-type groups. Patients with CYP3A4*1G mutation had an increased AOR of cardiac-vascular diseases and malignant diseases compared with patients without CYP3A4*1G mutation. The epidemiology had no difference between GA and AA group.

CONCLUSION

The study indicated that there was association between alcohol drinking and CYP3A4*1G genetic mutation. In the subgroup of participants with alcohol abuse, there are no significant differences in liver injury and dyslipidemia between CYP3A4*1G mutant and wild-type groups. CYP3A4*1G mutation was also related to cardiac-vascular diseases and malignant diseases.

The Genetic Polymorphism of CYP3A4 rs2242480 is Associated with Sirolimus Trough Concentrations Among Adult Renal Transplant Recipients

BACKGROUND

The large interindividual variability in the genetic polymorphisms of sirolimus (SIR)- metabolizing enzymes, transporters, and receptors can lead to qualitatively and quantitatively distinct therapeutic responses.

OBJECTIVE

We examined the impact of numerous candidate single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) involved in the trough concentration of SIR-based immunosuppressant regimen.

METHODS

This is a retrospective, long-term cohort study involving 69 renal allograft recipients. Total DNA was isolated from recipient blood samples and trough SIR concentrations were measured by microparticle enzyme immunoassay. Genome sequence reading was targeted based on next-generation sequencing. The association of tagger SNPs to SIR trough concentrations with non-genetic covariate adjusting was analyzed using logistic regression.

RESULTS

A total of 300 SNPs were genotyped in the recipient DNA samples using target sequencing analysis. Only the SNP of CYP3A4 (Ch7: 99361466 C>T, rs2242480) had a significantly higher association with SIR trough concentration as compared to the other 36 tagger SNPs. The mean trough SIR concentration of patients in the CYP3A4 rs2242480-CC group was more significant compared to that of the CYP3A4 rs2242480-TC and TT group, respectively 533.3; 157.4 and 142.5 (ng/ml)/mg/kg, P<0.0001. After adjusting the SNPs, there was no significant association between clinical factors such as age, follow-up period, the incidence of delayed graft function, immunosuppression protocol, and sex with SIR trough concentration.

CONCLUSION

These findings indicated a significant association of polymorphism in the CYP3A4 (Ch7: 99361466 C>T, rs2242480) with SIR trough concentration after 1-year administration in patients who have undergone kidney transplantation.

Impact of CYP3A4*1G Polymorphism on Fentanyl Analgesia Assessed by Analgesia Nociception Index in Chinese Patients Undergoing Hysteroscopy

Background:

The clinical efficacy of fentanyl for pain control differs greatly across individuals. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of CYP3A4*1G polymorphism including wild-type homozygote (CYP3A4*1/*1, GG), mutant heterozygote (CYP3A4*1/*1G, GA), and mutant homozygote (CYP3A4*1G/*1G, AA) on fentanyl analgesia in Chinese patients undergoing hysteroscopy by the assessment of analgesia nociception index (ANI).

Methods:

A total of 200 gynecologic patients scheduled for elective hysteroscopy under general anesthesia at Peking University People's Hospital from May to December in 2017 were enrolled in this study. Venous blood was withdrawn for genotyping of CYP3A4*1G before operation. Fentanyl 1 μg/kg was administered preoperatively followed by target-controlled infusion of propofol for induction and maintenance. Intraoperative analgesic efficacy of fentanyl was assessed by ANI monitoring at T0 (entering room), T1 (cervical dilation), T2 (start of cervical aspiration), and T3 (end of cervical aspiration) time points. The duration of propofol infusion and total dosage of propofol were recorded as well.

Results:

The patients were divided into three groups according to CYP3A4*1G polymorphism, including 143 in GG group, 47 in GA group, and 10 in AA group. There was no significant difference in clinical demographics among three groups. The frequency of CYP3A4*1G variant alleles accounted for 16.8% and the distribution of variant alleles was consistent with Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium. Using a multilevel model, ANI values at T1 (63.81 ± 19.61), T2 (63.63 ± 17.82), and T3 (65.68 ± 17.79) were significantly lower than that at T0 (77.16 ± 12.93) in the study population (F = 23.50, P < 0.001), suggesting that higher levels of pain at T1, T2, and T3 than T0. Patients with GG genotype showed significantly lower ANI than those with GA or AA genotypes during hysteroscopy under the same dose of fentanyl.

Conclusion:

CYP3A4*1G polymorphism associated with the analgesic efficacy of intraoperative fentanyl in the patients undergoing hysteroscopy under general anesthesia.
