A retrospective cohort study based on an updated meta-analysis. Ther Adv Chronic Dis 2020; 11:2040622320916026. [PMID: 32426102 PMCID: PMC7222241 DOI: 10.1177/2040622320916026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2019] [Accepted: 02/27/2020] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Aims: We performed an updated meta-analysis to verify correlations between gene polymorphisms and adverse events in methotrexate (MTX)-treated rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. Then, we conducted a retrospective cohort study of Han Chinese in China. Methods: Relevant studies were collected from the PubMed database and the EMBASE database until December 2017. Pre-allele, dominant, recessive, codominant, and homozygotic models were applied. In addition, a retrospective cohort study enrolling 162 RA patients treated with MTX was conducted. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping was analyzed by PCR and product sequencing. Results: A total of 39 studies were included in 20 meta-analyses; meta-analysis showed a significant association between MTX-related toxicity and 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) 677C>T(rs1801133) polymorphism in East Asian RA patients, and significant associations were observed between MTX-related toxicity and 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide formyltransferase/IMP cyclohydrolase (ATIC) 347C>G (rs2372536), reduced folate carrier 1 (RFC-1) 80G>A (rs1051266), and adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette B1 (ABCB1) 3435C>T(rs1045642) polymorphisms in European RA patients but not in East Asian RA patients. Moreover, in our retrospective cohort study, ATIC 347C>G(rs2372536) and ABCB1 3435C>T(rs1045642) polymorphisms were not associated with MTX-related toxicity. However, a significant association was observed between MTX-related toxicity and RFC-1 80G>A (rs1051266) polymorphism in Chinese Han RA patients. Conclusion: Evidence-based results suggest that the MTHFR 677C>T(rs1801133), ATIC 347C>G(rs2372536), RFC-1 80G>A (rs1051266), ABCB1 3435C>T(rs1045642) polymorphisms are associated with MTX-related toxicity. Larger and more stringent study designs may provide more accurate findings for the effects of these SNPs on MTX-related toxicity, and larger sample-size studies of the Chinese Han population should be conducted for further validation.

Wang S, Zuo S, Liu Z, Ji X, Yao Z, Wang X. Association of MTHFR and RFC1 gene polymorphisms with methotrexate efficacy and toxicity in Chinese Han patients with rheumatoid arthritis. J Int Med Res 2019; 48:300060519879588. [PMID: 31617429 PMCID: PMC7607194 DOI: 10.1177/0300060519879588] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective The objective was to explore the association of methylene tetrahydrofolate
reductase (MTHFR) C667T and A1298C and reduced folate
carrier 1 (RFC-1) A80G single nucleotide polymorphisms
(SNP) with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and efficacy and toxicity of
methotrexate (MTX) treatment in Chinese Han patients in Henan, China. Methods Two hundred ninety-six patients with RA were enrolled (cases) and 120 healthy
individuals served as controls. The genotypes of MTHFR
C667T and A1298C SNP and RFC-1 A80G SNP were detected by
restriction fragment length polymorphism-PCR and compared between cases and
controls. We analyzed correlations of clinical effect, toxicity, and SNPs
after 6 months of MTX treatment. Results We detected no significant differences in MTHFR C677T and
A1298C and RFC-1 A80G SNPs between cases and controls. The
RFC-1 A80G SNP differed between RA patients with good
and poor efficacy after 6 months of MTX, and was an independent factor of
MTX efficacy. The MTHFR C677T SNP was differently
distributed in the adverse drug reaction (ADR) and non-ADR groups and was an
independent factor of MTX toxicity. Conclusions In Chinese Han patients with RA, the MTHFR C667T SNP may
correlate with MTX toxicity, whereas the RFC-1 A80G SNP may
correlate with MTX efficacy rather than toxicity.

Eur J Intern Med 2019; 67:97-101. [PMID: 31350129 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejim.2019.07.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2018] [Revised: 07/15/2019] [Accepted: 07/17/2019] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Up to 5% of individuals exposed to low-dose methotrexate (MTX) (i.e., ≤30 mg/week) may develop cytopenia. However, MTX-induced cytopenia have been poorly described. MATERIAL AND METHODS All cases of cytopenia (i.e., anaemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, bi- or pancytopenia) in patients receiving low-dose MTX reported to the French pharmacovigilance database during 2006-2016 were analysed. Three groups were defined: cytopenia due to MTX medication errors (e.g., daily rather than weekly administration), cytopenia in people receiving several medications including MTX, cytopenia in people receiving only MTX. RESULTS 433 cases were analysed. Eighty-four cases (19.4%) were due to medication errors, 180 (41.6%) occurred in individuals exposed both to MTX and other drugs, and 169 (39.0%) occurred in individuals only exposed to MTX. By comparison to other patients, those with cytopenia due to medication errors were older (74 ± 13 vs 69 ± 15 years, p = 0.002), received more frequently MTX orally (92.9% vs 65.3%, p<0.001) and had more frequently pancytopenia (71.4% vs 54.4%, p = 0.005). By comparison to individuals exposed to multiple drugs (n = 180), those exposed only to MTX (n = 169) were older (71 ± 15 vs 67 ± 14, p = 0.02), and had more often pancytopenia (62.7% vs 46.7%, p = 0.001). Among those only exposed to MTX, most cases (n = 140, 82.8%) were considered as toxic rather than idiosyncratic reactions and a trigger (e.g. diarrhoea) was found in 59.3% of those cases. Overall 30 (6.9%) deaths occurred, including 8 in the "medication error" group and 8 in the "MTX only" group. CONCLUSION These data may be useful for defining optimal biological monitoring of patients prescribed low-dose MTX.

Genetic Polymorphisms of TYMS, MTHFR, ATIC, MTR, and MTRR Are Related to the Outcome of Methotrexate Therapy for Rheumatoid Arthritis in a Chinese Population. Front Pharmacol 2018; 9:1390. [PMID: 30546311 PMCID: PMC6279856 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2018.01390] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2018] [Accepted: 11/12/2018] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: Analysis of the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and outcomes of methotrexate (MTX) therapy for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in China. Materials and Methods: TYMS 28 bp VNTR (rs34743033), MTHFR [677C>T (rs1801133) and 1298A>C (rs1801131)], ATIC 347C>G (rs2372536), MTR A2756G (rs1805087), and MTRR 66A>G (rs1801394) enzyme proteins may be related to the outcomes of MTX therapy, according to our previous meta-analysis. A total of 162 patients with RA were included in our study. SNPs were evaluated using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Disease Activity Score 28 (DAS28) was used to evaluate the clinical response, and adverse drug reactions (ADRs) were collected after physical examinations of the patients. Results: The MTHFR 677C>T gene showed a relationship with the ADRs of MTX in the Recessive model [TT vs. (CC+CT)] (p = 0.04, OR = 2.20, 95% CI: 1.01, 4.77). In the Codominant model [CT vs. (CC+TT)], the MTHFR 677C>T gene also showed a trend of association with ADRs (p = 0.08, OR = 0.52, 95% CI: 0.25, 1.08). No significant difference was found between TYMS, MTHFR, ATIC, MTR, and MTRR gene polymorphisms and the RA response or ADRs related to MTX in our study. Conclusion: Our results showed that the MTHFR [677C>T (rs1801133)] TT genotype is associated with ADRs to MTX in Chinese RA patients. Other SNPs, including TYMS 28bp VNTR (rs34743033), MTHFR [677C>T (rs1801133) and 1298A>C (rs1801131)], ATIC 347C>G (rs2372536), MTR A2756G (rs1805087), and MTRR 66A>G (rs1801394) gene polymorphisms, were not associated with MTX treatment outcomes. Further studies are required to validate these findings.
