[PMID: 38788448 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2024.112323] [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: 03/06/2024] [Revised: 05/11/2024] [Accepted: 05/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Glucocorticoid (GC) administration has been associated with adverse drug reactions (ADRs) affecting multiple organ systems. While long-term use is widely recognized as a significant independent predictor of ADRs, it is important to note that even short-term use can lead to serious ADRs. The considerable inter-individual variability in ADRs occurrence may be influenced by genetic factors. This study, we present a case of a child who experienced significant weight gain and osteoporosis, following a brief administration of GC. METHODS To comprehensively investigate the underlying mechanisms, we conducted a genomic analysis utilizing the whole exome sequencing (WES) technique. This analysis encompassed the examination of phase I and phase II metabolism, influx transport, efflux transport, and drug targeting. Additionally, a comprehensive analysis was conducted on a cohort of 52,119 children to determine their ABCB1 rs1045642 genotype, and an additional 37,884 children were tested for their CYP3A5 rs776746 genotype. RESULTS The pharmacogenetic analysis unveiled the presence of a high-risk variant in ABCB1 rs1045642 and a slow metabolism variant in CYP3A5 rs776746, both of which have the potential to substantially contribute to ADRs. The findings of this study indicate that the prevalence of ABCB1 rs1045642 CT type among patients was 47.58%, with TT type accounting for 15.69 % and CC type accounting for 36.73 %. Furthermore, the distribution of CYP3A5 rs776746 CC genotype was observed in 50.54 % of individuals, while CT and TT genotypes were present in 41.15 % and 8.31 % of the population respectively. The distribution of ABCB1 and CYP3A5 genotypes among the pediatric population in China displays notable features. Specifically, for the ABCB1 rs1045642 genotype, less than 50 % of children exhibit intermediate metabotypes. Conversely, among children with the CYP3A5 rs776746 genotype, the predominant cause for enzyme activity is the slow metabolic type, accounting for up to 90 % of cases. CONCLUSIONS Consequently, it is imperative to thoroughly evaluate the impact of allele mutation on the effectiveness and safety of glucocorticoid drugs or other medications metabolized by the ABCB1 and CYP3A5, particularly in the context of Chinese pediatric patients.

The potential effect of BMSCs with miR-27a in improving steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head. Sci Rep 2022; 12:21051. [PMID: 36473889 PMCID: PMC9726984 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-25407-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2022] [Accepted: 11/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Steroid induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) frequently leads to femoral head collapse and subsequent hip arthritis. This study aimed to investigate the potential therapeutic mechanism of miR-27a on steroid-induced ONFH. Levels of IL-6, TNF-α, miR-27a, Runx2, PPAR-γ and ApoA5 were first examined in bone marrow tissues from steroid-induced ONFH and controls. Subsequently, we overexpressed or knocked down miR-27a in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and detected cell proliferation, osteogenic differentiation, adipogenic differentiation. In addition, miR-27a mimics and BMSCs were injected into the established steroid-induced ONFH rats, and the osteoprotective effects of both were evaluated. Dual luciferase reporter was used to test the targeting effect of miR-27a-3p and PPARG. miR-27a and Runx2 were lowly expressed in steroid-induced ONFH, PPAR-γ and ApoA5 were highly expressed. Overexpression of miR-27a in BMSCs promoted cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation, inhibited adipogenic differentiation. Furthermore, increasing miR-27a and BMSCs obviously reduced bone loss in steroid induced ONFH rats. The expressions of Runx2 in BMSCs and steroid-induced ONFH rats was significantly up-regulated, while IL-6, TNF-α, PPAR-γ and ApoA5 were down-regulated with miR-27a overexpression. Additionally, PPARG was the target of miR-27a-3p. The results of the present study reveal a role for miR-27a in promoting osteogenesis and may have a synergistic effect with BMSCs.

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
OBJECTIVE To explore the global research trends and hotspots of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (SONFH) through qualitative and quantitative analysis of bibliometrics. METHODS All publications on SONFH published from 1992 to 2021 were extracted from the Web of Science Core Collection database. CiteSpace was used for the visualization analysis of major countries, active institutions, productive authors, and the burst of keywords. VOSviewer was used for coupling analysis of countries/regions, institutions, and authors. Microsoft Excel 2017 was used for statistical analysis, drawing bar charts, pie charts, and cumulative area charts. The software of MapInfo was used to draw the distribution map of the publications. RESULTS A total of 780 publications were included for analyses. The most productive year was 2020 with 98 records. China was the most influential country with 494 publications, an H-index of 59, and total citations of 16820. The most prolific institution was Shanghai Jiaotong University in China with 53 publications and 998 citations. Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research (IF = 4.755, 2021) was the most active journal with 26 articles. The hot keywords were "osteonecrosis", "avascular necrosis", "osteogenic differentiation", "proliferation", "PPAR gamma", "apoptosis", "oxidative stress", "genetic polymorphism" and "mesenchymal stem cells". The keywords like "proliferation", "PPAR gamma" and "genome-wide" have emerged in recent years. CONCLUSION The number of publications in SONFH has increased significantly in the last three decades. The pathologic mechanism of SONFH gathered most research interests. Genomics and cell molecular biology of SONFH are the research frontiers.

Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2022; 13:1016687.

Abstract
Glucocorticoids (GCs) are widely used in various autoimmune diseases. Side effects may occur in patients with long-term or high-dose GC usage. Among them, steroid myopathy and osteonecrosis are two severe forms. We report a patient with pemphigus vulgaris on GC-treatment who developed muscle weakness when a cumulative dose of methylprednisolone reached about 20g (14-80mg/d for 2.5 years). Laboratory tests showed slightly elevated lactate dehydrogenase and hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase. MRI revealed osteonecrosis in the femoral head, distal femur, and proximal tibia of both legs. The biopsy of the right quadriceps revealed atrophy of type II myofiber without leukocyte infiltration, which was suggestive of steroid myopathy. Genotyping of the patient showed 5G/5G genotype of the PAI-1 gene and CC genotype of the ABCB1 gene (C3435T), suggesting she was sensitive to GCs. The patient's lesions were considered to be GC-induced adverse events, which were improved with tapering GC. Therefore, it is important to recognize steroid-induced musculoskeletal side effects and genotyping favors personalized medication.
