Unraveling the relationships between alpha- and beta-adrenergic modulation and the risk of heart failure. Front Cardiovasc Med 2023; 10:1148931.

Abstract
Background The effects of α and ß adrenergic receptor modulation on the risk of developing heart failure (HF) remains uncertain due to a lack of randomized controlled trials. This study aimed to estimate the effects of α and ß adrenergic receptors modulation on the risk of HF and to provide proof of principle for genetic target validation studies in HF. Methods Genetic variants within the cis regions encoding the adrenergic receptors α1A, α2B, ß1, and ß2 associated with blood pressure in a 757,601-participant genome-wide association study (GWAS) were selected as instruments to perform a drug target Mendelian randomization study. Effects of these variants on HF risk were derived from the HERMES GWAS (542,362 controls; 40,805 HF cases). Results Lower α1A or ß1 activity was associated with reduced HF risk: odds ratio (OR) 0.83 (95% CI 0.74-0.93, P = 0.001) and 0.95 (95% CI 0.93-0.97, P = 8 × 10-6). Conversely, lower α2B activity was associated with increased HF risk: OR 1.09 (95% CI 1.05-1.12, P = 3 × 10-7). No evidence of an effect of lower ß2 activity on HF risk was found: OR 0.99 (95% CI 0.92-1.07, P = 0.95). Complementary analyses showed that these effects were consistent with those on left ventricular dimensions and acted independently of any potential effect on coronary artery disease. Conclusions This study provides genetic evidence that α1A or ß1 receptor inhibition will likely decrease HF risk, while lower α2B activity may increase this risk. Genetic variant analysis can assist with drug development for HF prevention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative analgesia is crucial for the early and effective recovery of patients undergoing surgery. Although postoperative multimodal analgesia is widely practiced, opioids such as fentanyl are still one of the best analgesics. The analgesic response of fentanyl varies widely among individuals, probably due to genetic and nongenetic factors. Among genetic factors, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) may influence its analgesic response by altering the structure or function of genes involved in nociceptive, fentanyl pharmacodynamic, and pharmacokinetic pathways. Thus, it is necessary to comprehensively ascertain if the SNPs present in the aforementioned pathways are associated with interindividual differences in fentanyl requirement. In this study, we evaluated the association between 10 candidate SNPs in 9 genes and 24-hour postoperative fentanyl dose (primary outcome) and also with postoperative pain scores and time for first analgesia (secondary outcomes). METHODS A total of 257 South Indian women, aged 18-70 years, with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I-III, undergoing major breast surgery under general anesthesia, were included in the study. Patients were genotyped for candidate SNPs using real-time polymerase chain reaction. All patients received a standardized intravenous fentanyl infusion through a patient-controlled analgesic (PCA) pump, and the 24-hour postoperative fentanyl dose requirement was measured using PCA. RESULTS The median 24-hour postoperative fentanyl requirement was higher in rs1799971 carriers (G/G versus A/A + A/G-620 μg [500-700] vs 460 μg [400-580]) with a geometric mean (GM) ratio of 1.91 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.071-1.327). The median 24-hour pain scores were higher in rs4680 carriers (A/G + A/A versus G/G-34 [30-38] vs 31 [30-38]) with a GM ratio of 1.059 (95% CI, 1.018-1.101) and were lower in rs1045642 carriers (A/A + A/G versus G/G-34 [30-38] vs 30 [30-34]) with a GM ratio of 0.936 (95% CI, 0.889-0.987). The median time for first analgesic was lower in rs734784 carriers [C/C versus T/T + C/T-240 minutes (180-270) vs 240 minutes (210-270)] with a GM ratio of 0.902 (95% CI, 0.837-0.972). Five of 9 clinical factors, namely, history of diabetes, hypertension, hypothyroidism, anesthesia duration, and intraoperative fentanyl requirement were associated with different outcomes individually ( P < .05) and were used to adjust the respective associations. CONCLUSIONS The SNP opioid receptor mu-1 ( OPRM1 ) (rs1799971) was associated with higher postoperative fentanyl requirement in South Indian patients undergoing major breast surgery. Twenty-four hour postoperative pain scores were higher in catechol-O-methyl transferase ( COMT ) (rs4680) carriers and lower in ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 1 ( ABCB1 ) (rs1045642) carriers, whereas time for first analgesic was lower in potassium channel subunit 1 ( KCNS1 ) (rs734784) carriers. However, these exploratory findings must be confirmed in a larger study.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Fentanyl exhibits interindividual variability in its dose requirement due to various nongenetic and genetic factors such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). This study aims to develop and cross-validate robust predictive models for postoperative fentanyl analgesic requirement and other related outcomes in patients undergoing major breast surgery. Data regarding genotypes of 10 candidate SNPs, cold pain test (CPT) scores, pupillary response to fentanyl (PRF), and other common clinical characteristics were recorded from 257 patients undergoing major breast surgery. Predictive models for 24-hour fentanyl requirement, 24-hour pain scores, and time for first analgesic (TFA) in the postoperative period were developed using 4 different algorithms: generalised linear regression model, linear support vector machine learning (SVM-Linear), random forest (RF), and Bayesian regularised neural network. The variant genotype of OPRM1 (rs1799971) and higher CPT scores were associated with higher 24-hour postoperative fentanyl consumption, whereas higher PRF and history of hypertension were associated with lower fentanyl requirement. The variant allele of COMT (rs4680) and higher CPT scores were associated with 24-hour postoperative pain scores. The variant genotype of CTSG (rs2070697), higher intraoperative fentanyl use, and higher CPT scores were associated with significantly lower TFA. The predictive models for 24-hour postoperative fentanyl requirement, pain scores, and TFA had R-squared values of 0.313 (SVM-Linear), 0.434 (SVM-Linear), and 0.532 (RF), respectively. We have developed and cross-validated predictive models for 24-hour postoperative fentanyl requirement, 24-hour postoperative pain scores, and TFA with satisfactory performance characteristics and incorporated them in a novel web application.

Short Tandem Repeat Variation in the CNR1 Gene Associated With Analgesic Requirements of Opioids in Postoperative Pain Management. Front Genet 2022; 13:815089. [PMID: 35360861 PMCID: PMC8963810 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2022.815089] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2021] [Accepted: 02/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Short tandem repeats (STRs) and variable number of tandem repeats (VNTRs) that have been identified at approximately 0.7 and 0.5 million loci in the human genome, respectively, are highly multi-allelic variations rather than single-nucleotide polymorphisms. The number of repeats of more than a few thousand STRs was associated with the expression of nearby genes, indicating that STRs are influential genetic variations in human traits. Analgesics act on the central nervous system via their intrinsic receptors to produce analgesic effects. In the present study, we focused on STRs and VNTRs in the CNR1, GRIN2A, PENK, and PDYN genes and analyzed two peripheral pain sensation-related traits and seven analgesia-related traits in postoperative pain management. A total of 192 volunteers who underwent the peripheral pain sensation tests and 139 and 252 patients who underwent open abdominal and orthognathic cosmetic surgeries, respectively, were included in the study. None of the four STRs or VNTRs were associated with peripheral pain sensation. Short tandem repeats in the CNR1, GRIN2A, and PENK genes were associated with the frequency of fentanyl use, fentanyl dose, and visual analog scale pain scores 3 h after orthognathic cosmetic surgery (Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient ρ = 0.199, p = 0.002, ρ = 0.174, p = 0.006, and ρ = 0.135, p = 0.033, respectively), analgesic dose, including epidural analgesics after open abdominal surgery (ρ = −0.200, p = 0.018), and visual analog scale pain scores 24 h after orthognathic cosmetic surgery (ρ = 0.143, p = 0.023), respectively. The associations between STRs in the CNR1 gene and the frequency of fentanyl use and fentanyl dose after orthognathic cosmetic surgery were confirmed by Holm’s multiple-testing correction. These findings indicate that STRs in the CNR1 gene influence analgesia in the orofacial region.

Abstract
CONTEXT Recent studies have shown that β-blocker (BB) users have a decreased risk of fracture and higher bone mineral density (BMD) compared to nonusers, likely due to the suppression of adrenergic signaling in osteoblasts, leading to increased BMD. There is also variability in the effect size of BB use on BMD in humans, which may be due to pharmacogenomic effects. OBJECTIVE To investigate potential single-nucleotide variations (SNVs) associated with the effect of BB use on femoral neck BMD, we performed a cross-sectional analysis using clinical data, dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, and genetic data from the Framingham Heart Study's (FHS) Offspring Cohort. We then sought to validate our top 4 genetic findings using data from the Rotterdam Study, the BPROOF Study, the Malta Osteoporosis Fracture Study (MOFS), and the Hertfordshire Cohort Study. METHODS We used sex-stratified linear mixed models to determine SNVs that had a significant interaction effect with BB use on femoral neck (FN) BMD across 11 gene regions. We also evaluated the association of our top SNVs from the FHS with microRNA (miRNA) expression in blood and identified potential miRNA-mediated mechanisms by which these SNVs may affect FN BMD. RESULTS One variation (rs11124190 in HDAC4) was validated in females using data from the Rotterdam Study, while another (rs12414657 in ADRB1) was validated in females using data from the MOFS. We performed an exploratory meta-analysis of all 5 studies for these variations, which further validated our findings. CONCLUSION This analysis provides a starting point for investigating the pharmacogenomic effects of BB use on BMD measures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Both meta-analyses and systematic reviews were used to assess the relationship between purinergic receptor P2X ligand-gated ion channel 7 (P2RX7) rs3751143 polymorphism and the risk of cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS The data used in this research were collected from Google Scholar, Web of Science, CNKI, and Wan Fang Data databases. The final retrieval ended on 22 February 2019. The strength of correlation was assessed using odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. Based on the heterogeneity test results, fixed-effect (Mantel-Haenszel) or random-effects (DerSimonian-Laird) models were selected to summarise the collective effects. RESULTS Eight separate studies containing 1462 cancer cases and 3037 controls were enrolled. Overall, there was no significant association between P2RX7 rs3751143 polymorphism and the risk of cancer in the allelic, homozygous, heterozygous, dominant, or recessive models. CONCLUSIONS Our meta-analysis indicates that there is no significant association between P2RX7 rs3751143 polymorphism and the risk of cancer in the allelic, homozygous, heterozygous, dominant, and recessive models.

Abstract
Labour is considered to be one of the most painful procedures in human experience. The most effective technique for pain relief during labour is neuraxial labour analgesia which provides analgesia without maternal or fetal sedation. Genetic predisposition may be of importance for pain perception and women experience varying degrees of pain in labour. Genetic variations in opioid receptor (OPR) genes may influence the response to epidural opioid analgesia during labour. The single-nucleotide polymorphism, A118G of the mu opioid receptor gene (oprm1), has been associated with altered pain perception. Targeted drug delivery reduces toxic side effects. Liposomes, nano-particles, nanofibres hydrogel, have been suggested to deliver anaesthetic drugs.

Association between the rs7583431 single nucleotide polymorphism close to the activating transcription factor 2 gene and the analgesic effect of fentanyl in the cold pain test. Neuropsychopharmacol Rep 2018; 38:86-91. [PMID: 30106255 PMCID: PMC7292331 DOI: 10.1002/npr2.12012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2017] [Revised: 01/20/2018] [Accepted: 01/29/2018] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Activating transcription factor 2 (ATF2) is a member of the leucine zipper family of DNA binding proteins and is widely distributed in tissues. Several recent studies have demonstrated that this protein is involved in mechanisms that are related to pain and inflammation. However, unclear is whether polymorphisms of the ATF2 gene, which encodes the human ATF2 protein, influence pain or analgesic sensitivity. This study examined associations between the analgesic effect of fentanyl in the cold pressor‐induced pain test and polymorphisms in the ATF2 gene in 355 Japanese subjects. Results In this study, 33 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were selected, and a total of 2 linkage disequilibrium blocks with 6 Tag SNPs (rs1153702, rs7583431, rs2302663, rs3845744, rs268214, and rs1982235) were observed in the region within and around the ATF2 gene. We further analyzed associations between these Tag SNPs and clinical data. Even after multiple testing with Bonferroni adjustments, an increase in the analgesic effect of fentanyl in the cold pressor‐induced pain test was significantly associated with a greater number of the A allele of the rs7583431 SNP (linear regression, P = .001). Conclusions The present findings may contribute to adequate pain relief in individual patients. Although more research on the genetic factors that influence opioid sensitivity is needed, analgesic requirements may be predicted by analyzing ATF2SNPs, together with other polymorphisms of genes that are reportedly associated with opioid sensitivity, such as CREB1,OPRM1, and GIRK2. In this study, 33 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were selected, and a total of 2 linkage disequilibrium blocks with 6 Tag SNPs (rs1153702, rs7583431, rs2302663, rs3845744, rs268214, and rs1982235) were observed in the region within and around the ATF2 gene. We further analyzed associations between these Tag SNPs and clinical data. Even after multiple testing with Bonferroni adjustments, an increase in the analgesic effect of fentanyl in the cold pressor‐induced pain test was significantly associated with a greater number of the A allele of the rs7583431 SNP (linear regression, P = .001).

Genome-wide association study identifies polymorphisms associated with the analgesic effect of fentanyl in the preoperative cold pressor-induced pain test. J Pharmacol Sci 2018; 136:107-113. [PMID: 29502940 DOI: 10.1016/j.jphs.2018.02.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2017] [Revised: 11/07/2017] [Accepted: 11/10/2017] [Indexed: 02/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Opioid analgesics are widely used for the treatment of moderate to severe pain. The analgesic effects of opioids are well known to vary among individuals. The present study focused on the genetic factors that are associated with interindividual differences in pain and opioid sensitivity. We conducted a multistage genome-wide association study in subjects who were scheduled to undergo mandibular sagittal split ramus osteotomy and were not medicated until they received fentanyl for the induction of anesthesia. We preoperatively conducted the cold pressor-induced pain test before and after fentanyl administration. The rs13093031 and rs12633508 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) near the LOC728432 gene region and rs6961071 SNP in the tcag7.1213 gene region were significantly associated with the analgesic effect of fentanyl, based on differences in pain perception latency before and after fentanyl administration. The associations of these three SNPs that were identified in our exploratory study have not been previously reported. The two polymorphic loci (rs13093031 and rs12633508) were shown to be in strong linkage disequilibrium. Subjects with the G/G genotype of the rs13093031 and rs6961071 SNPs presented lower fentanyl-induced analgesia. Our findings provide a basis for investigating genetics-based analgesic sensitivity and personalized pain control.

Abstract
Suxiao Jiuxin Pill (SX), a traditional Chinese medicine compound consisting primarily of tetramethylpyrazine and borneol, has been reported to protect against ischemic heart disease. However, the effects of SX on mitochondrial injury and gene expression in various signaling pathways are unclear. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of SX on mitochondrial injury and to screen the expression of genes potentially altered by SX using a cell culture model of ischemic injury. Simulated ischemia was established by culturing HL-1 cardiomyocytes in Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium without glucose or serum in a hypoxic chamber containing 95% N2 and 5% CO2 for 24 h. HL-1 cardiomyocytes were divided into 3 groups: Control, ischemic injury and ischemic injury + SX (100 µg/ml; n=3 wells/group). Mitochondrial membrane potential was detected by staining with JC-1 dye. The mRNA expression levels of adenylyl cyclase (Adcy) 1–9, adrenoceptor β1, Akt1, ATPase Na+/K+ transporting subunit β2, calcium voltage-gated channel auxiliary subunit α2δ (Cacna2d)2, Cacna2d3, calcium channel voltage-dependent γ subunit 8, cytochrome C oxidase subunit 6A2 (Cox6a2), fibroblast growth factor receptor (Fgfr) 4, Fgf8, Fgf12, Gnas complex locus, glycogen synthase kinase 3β (Gsk3b), mitogen-activated protein kinase (Mapk)11-14, Mapk kinase kinase kinase 1 (Map4k1), Mas1, nitric oxide synthase 3 (Nos3), phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit α (Pik3ca), phospholipase A2 group 4A, rap guanine nucleotide exchange factor 4 and ryanodine receptor 2 were detected using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The protein expression levels of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), MAS-1 and phosphorylated-endothelial NOS were also examined by immunofluorescence staining. The decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential in the cell culture model of ischemic injury (P<0.001) was significantly attenuated by SX treatment (P<0.001). Furthermore, increases in the mRNA expression levels of Adcy2 (P<0.05), 3 (P<0.01) and 8 (P<0.05) in the ischemic injury model were significantly attenuated by SX treatment (P<0.01), and SX treatment significantly decreased the mRNA expression levels of Adcy1 (P<0.01) and 6 (P<0.05) in ischemic cells. Decreases in the mRNA expression levels of Cox6a2 (P<0.001), Gsk3b (P<0.01) and Pik3ca (P<0.001) in the ischemic injury model were also significantly attenuated by SX treatment (P<0.05, P<0.01 and P<0.001, respectively). In addition, the decrease in the protein expression of PI3K (P<0.001) was significantly attenuated by SX treatment (P<0.001). The present findings indicate that SX may protect cardiomyocytes against mitochondrial injury and attenuate alterations in the gene expression of Adcy2, 3 and 8, Cox6a2, Gsk3b and Pik3ca during ischemic injury.

Abstract
Studies of physical activity behaviours have increasingly shown the importance of heritable factors such as genetic variation. Nonsynonymous polymorphisms of alpha-actinin 3 (ACTN3) and the β-adrenergic receptors 1 and 3 (ADRB1 and ADRB3) have been previously associated with exercise capacity and cardiometabolic health. We thus hypothesized that these polymorphisms are also related to physical activity behaviours in young adults. To test this hypothesis we examined relationships between ACTN3 (R577X), ARDB1 (Arg389Gly), ADRB3 (Trp64Arg), and physical activity behaviours in university students. We stratified for student enrollment in kinesiology degree programs compared with nonmajors as we previously found this to be a predictor of physical activity. We did not identify novel associations between physical activity and ACTN3. However, the minor alleles of ADRB1 and ADRB3 were significantly underrepresented in kinesiology students compared with nonmajors. Furthermore, carriers of the ADRB1 minor allele reported reduced participation in moderate physical activity and increased afternoon fatigue compared with ancestral allele homozygotes. Together, these findings suggest that the heritability of physical activity behaviours in young adults may be linked to nonsynonymous polymorphisms within β-adrenergic receptors.
