Abstract
Aim: Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a rare disease that produces multisystemic disorders. Everolimus (EVR) is the only immunosuppressive drug approved to control the symptoms and progression of the disease. The aim was to evaluate the genotype-phenotype association to improve the pediatric TSC pharmacotherapeutic outcome. Patients & methods: Ten pediatric TSC patients were recruited. Concomitant treatment and main metabolic enzymes and transporter coding gene variants of EVR were analyzed. Results: Significant associations were found between CYP3A4*22 allele and concomitant treatment with valproic acid (CYP3A4-inhibitor) with a poor metabolizer phenotype and the presence of pneumonia. Conclusion: This is the first pharmacogenetic study of EVR in pediatric TSC patients. The authors propose to consider concomitant treatment and pharmacogenetics due to their multifactorial status.

[PMID: 37109042 PMCID: PMC10145266 DOI: 10.3390/jpm13040656] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2023] [Revised: 03/27/2023] [Accepted: 04/07/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although tacrolimus has been widely used in patients undergoing lung transplantation, few studies have reported the pharmacokinetics of tacrolimus in Chinese patients after lung transplantation. Thus, we aimed to investigate the pharmacokinetics and influential factors in this patient cohort in the early stage after lung transplantation. METHODS We enrolled 14 adult lung transplant recipients who were treated with tacrolimus and then intensively collected blood samples within a 12-h dosing interval. The pharmacokinetic parameters of tacrolimus were calculated using non-compartmental analysis, and the influence of pathophysiological characteristics and CYP3A5*3 and CYP3A4*1G genotypes on the pharmacokinetics of tacrolimus was assessed. Using linear regression analysis, we investigated the correlation between tacrolimus concentration at different sampling points and measured the area under the time-concentration curve (AUC0-12h). RESULTS Geometric mean of apparent clearance (CL/F) was 18.13 ± 1.65 L/h in non-CYP3A5*3/*3 carriers, five times higher than that in CYP3A5*3/*3 carriers (p < 0.001). Furthermore, the tacrolimus concentration 4 h after administration had the strongest correlation with AUC0-12h (R2 = 0.979). CONCLUSION The pharmacokinetics of tacrolimus varied largely between patients during the early stage post-transplantation, which could be partially explained by CYP3A5*3 genetic polymorphisms.

Abstract
Aim: To investigate the influence of CYP3A5 and IL-10 polymorphisms on tarcolimus metabolism and renal function for renal transplantation recipients at a stable period. Methods: CYP3A5 and IL-10 polymorphisms, together with other clinical factors, were collected for 149 renal transplantation patients at postoperative stable period. Statistics analysis was performed to explore key factors affecting tarcolimus metabolism. Results: CYP3A5 6986A >G and IL-10 -819C >T significantly impacted tacrolimus metabolism (p < 0.001). CYP3A5 6986A >G G allele and IL-10 -819C >T T allele were associated with poorer tacrolimus metabolic capability. Patients with various tacrolimus metabolism rates presented little difference in renal functions at stable period. Conclusion: Genotyping of CYP3A5 and IL-10 might benefit the precision dosage of tacrolimus for renal transplantation recipients.

The impact of IL-10 and CYP3A5 gene polymorphisms on dose-adjusted trough blood tacrolimus concentrations in early post-renal transplant recipients. Pharmacol Rep 2021; 73:1418-1426. [PMID: 34089513 DOI: 10.1007/s43440-021-00288-2] [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: 01/11/2021] [Revised: 05/22/2021] [Accepted: 05/26/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The strong inter-individual pharmacokinetic variability and the narrow therapeutic window of tacrolimus (TAC) have hampered the clinical application. Gene polymorphisms play an important role in TAC pharmacokinetics. Here, we investigate the influence of genotypes of IL-10, CYP3A5, CYP2C8, and ABCB1 on dose-adjusted trough blood concentrations (the C0/D ratio) of TAC to reveal unclear genetic factors that may affect TAC dose requirements for renal transplant recipients. METHODS Genetic polymorphisms of IL-10, CYP3A5, CYP2C8, and ABCB1 in 188 renal transplant recipients were determined using Kompetitive Allele Specific PCR (KASP). Statistical analysis was applied to examine the effect of genetic variation on the TAC C0/D at 5, 10, 15, and 30 days after transplantation. RESULTS Recipients carrying the IL-10 -819C > T TT genotype showed a significantly higher TAC C0/D than those with the TC/CC genotype (p < 0.05). Additionally, the TAC C0/D values of recipients with the capacity for low IL-10 activity (-819 TT) engrafted with CYP3A5 non-expressers were higher compared to the intermediate/high activity of IL-10 -819C > T TC or CC carrying CYP3A5 expressers, and the difference was statistically significant at different time points (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Genetic polymorphisms of IL-10 -819C > T and CYP3A5 6986A > G influence the TAC C0/D, which may contribute to variation in TAC dose requirements during the early post-transplantation period. Detecting IL-10 -819C > T and CYP3A5 6986A > G polymorphisms may allow determination of individualized tacrolimus dosage regimens for renal transplant recipients during the early post-transplantation period.

CYP3A5 Genotype as a Potential Pharmacodynamic Biomarker for Tacrolimus Therapy in Ulcerative Colitis in Japanese Patients. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21124347. [PMID: 32570960 PMCID: PMC7352351 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21124347] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2020] [Revised: 06/12/2020] [Accepted: 06/16/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Tacrolimus has been used to induce remission in patients with steroid-refractory ulcerative colitis. It poses a problem of large individual differences in dosage necessary to attain target blood concentration and, often, this leads to drug inefficacy. We examined the difference in mRNA expression levels of ATP binding cassette transporter B1 (ABCB1) between inflamed and non-inflamed tissues, and the influence of CYP3A5 genotype on tacrolimus therapy. The mRNA expression of CYP3A4 in colonic mucosa and that of cytochrome p450 3A5 (CYP3A5) and ABCB1 in inflamed and non-inflamed areas were examined in 14 subjects. The mRNA expression levels of CYP3A5 were higher than that of CYP3A4. The mRNA expression of ABCB1 was lower in the inflamed than in the non-inflamed mucosa, despite that of CYP3A5 mRNA level being not significantly changed. Hence, the deterioration of the disease is related to the reduction of the barrier in the inflamed mucosa. The relationship between CYP3A5 genotype and blood concentration, dose, and concentration/dose (C/D) ratio of tacrolimus in 15 subjects was studied. The tacrolimus dose to maintain equivalent blood concentrations was lower in CYP3A5*3/*3 than in CYP3A5*1 carriers, and the C/D ratio was significantly higher in the latter. Thus, CYP3A5 polymorphism information played a role in determining the initial dose of tacrolimus. Furthermore, since the effect of tacrolimus appears earlier in CYP3A5*3/*3 than in CYP3A5*1/*1 and *1/*3, it seems necessary to change the evaluation time of therapeutic effect by CYP3A5 genotype. Additionally, the relationship between CYP3A5 genotype and C/D ratio of tacrolimus in colonic mucosa was investigated in 10 subjects. Tacrolimus concentration in the mucosa was two-fold higher in CYP3A5*3/*3 than in CYP3A5*1 carriers, although no significant difference in tacrolimus-blood levels was observed. Therefore, the local concentration of tacrolimus affected by CYP3A5 polymorphism might be related to its therapeutic effect.
