Pharmacogenetics of tenofovir drug transporters in the context of HBV: Is there an impact? Biomed Pharmacother 2024; 175:116678. [PMID: 38713940 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2024.116678] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2024] [Revised: 04/19/2024] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/09/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Current treatments for chronic hepatitis B management include orally administered nucleos(t)ide analogues, such as tenofovir (TDF), which is an acyclic adenine nucleotide analogue used both in HBV and human immune deficiency virus (HIV). The course of HBV infection is mainly dependent on viral factors, such as HBV genotypes, immunological features and host genetic variables, but a few data are available in the context of HBV, in particular for polymorphisms of genes encoding proteins involved in drug metabolism and elimination. Consequently, the aim of this study was to evaluate the potential impact of genetic variants on TDF plasma and urine concentrations in patients with HBV, considering the role of HBV genotypes. METHODS A retrospective cohort study at the Infectious Disease Unit of Amedeo di Savoia Hospital, Torino, Italy, was performed. Pharmacokinetic analyses were performed through liquidi chromatography, whereas pharmacogenetic analyses through real-time PCR. FINDINGS Sixty - eight patients were analyzed: ABCC4 4976 C>T genetic variant showed an impact on urine TDF drug concentrations (p = 0.014). In addition, SLC22A6 453 AA was retained in the final regression multivariate model considering factors predicting plasma concentrations, while ABCC4 4976 TC/CC was the only predictor of urine concentrations in the univariate model. INTERPRETATION In conclusion, this is the first study showing a potential impact of genetic variants on TDF plasma and urine concentrations in the HBV context, but further studies in different and larger cohorts of patients are required.

Abstract
Aim: We investigated if single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in ATP-binding cassette (ABC) drug transporters alter gene expression and tenofovir disposition in South African women taking Truvada® for HIV prevention. Materials & methods: In 393 women, real-time PCR was used to determine the associations between six SNPs in ABC transporter genes, mRNA expression and circulating-tenofovir. Results: Univariable and multivariable analyses showed that CT and TT relative to CC genotypes for the ABCC4(3463C/T) SNP had significantly higher tenofovir levels. In contrast, the AA genotype for the ABCC4(4976A/G) SNP showed significantly less tenofovir, while mRNA expression was increased. Conclusion: SNPs in the ABCC4 gene may differentially affect gene expression and circulating tenofovir. Their impact may inform on low pre-exposure prophylaxis efficacy and discern effective drugs in clinical trials of African women enriched for certain genotypes.

[PMID: 37099271 PMCID: PMC10234323 DOI: 10.1097/fpc.0000000000000491] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2022] [Accepted: 11/30/2022] [Indexed: 04/27/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Renal toxicity is more common with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) than with tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (TAF). We investigated whether polymorphisms in genes relevant to tenofovir disposition affect renal toxicity among HIV-positive Southern Africans. METHODS Genetic sub-study of adults randomized to initiate TAF or TDF together with dolutegravir and emtricitabine was conducted. Outcomes were changes from week 4 to 48 in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and from baseline to week 48 in urine retinol-binding protein and urine β2-microglobulin adjusted for urinary creatinine (uRBP/Cr and uB2M/Cr). Primary analyses prioritized 14 polymorphisms previously reported to be associated with tenofovir disposition or renal outcomes, and all polymorphisms in 14 selected genes. We also explored genome-wide associations. RESULTS 336 participants were enrolled. Among 14 polymorphisms of primary interest, the lowest P values for change in eGFR, uRBP/Cr, and uB2M/Cr were ABCC4 rs899494 ( P = 0.022), ABCC10 rs2125739 ( P = 0.07), and ABCC4 rs1059751 ( P = 0.0088); and in genes of interest, the lowest P values were ABCC4 rs4148481 ( P = 0.0013), rs691857 ( P = 0.00039), and PKD2 rs72659631 ( P = 0.0011). However, none of these polymorphisms withstood correction for multiple testing. Genome-wide, the lowest P values were COL27A1 rs1687402 ( P = 3.4 × 10 -9 ), CDH4 rs66494466 ( P = 5.6 × 10 -8 ), and ITGA4 rs3770126 ( P = 6.1 × 10 -7 ). CONCLUSION Two ABCC4 polymorphisms, rs899494 and rs1059751, were nominally associated with change in eGFR and uB2M/Cr, respectively, albeit in the opposite direction of previous reports. COL27A1 polymorphism was genome-wide significantly associated with change in eGFR.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW With the advent of antiretroviral therapy, HIV infection has become a chronic disease in developed countries. RECENT FINDINGS Non-HIV-driven risk factors for kidney disease, such as APOL1 risk variants and other genetic and environmental factors, have been discovered and are better described. Consequently, the field of HIV-associated kidney disease has evolved with greater attention given to traditional risk factors of CKD and antiretroviral treatment's nephrotoxicity. In this review, we explore risk factors of HIV-associated kidney disease, diagnostic tools, kidney pathology in HIV-positive individuals, and antiretroviral therapy-associated nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this case-control study was to verify the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes encoding drug transporters related to tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and proximal renal tubular dysfunction (PRTD), and the association between PRTD and clinical characteristics. METHODS The 'cases' met the diagnostic criteria for PRTD, determined by the presence of two or more of the following abnormalities: non-diabetic glycosuria, metabolic acidosis, increased uric acid and phosphorus excretion, decreased tubular phosphorus reabsorption and β2-microglobulinuria. We analyzed eight SNPs in ABCC2, ABCC4, ABCC10 and SLC28A2 genes. Genotyping was performed using real-time PCR. RESULTS Of the 204 people living with HIV, 38 (18.6%) met the criteria for diagnosis of PRTD and 131 were male (64.2%), with a mean age of 49 years and a history of previous antiretroviral therapy for an average of 5 years. In the multivariate analysis, older individuals, TDF use, protease inhibitor, antihypertensives and anticonvulsants were associated with a risk of developing PRTD. Increased excretion of β2microglobulin was associated with the A/G genotype of rsCC8187710 from ABCC2 ( P = 0.003) and the following genotypes of ABCC4 SNPs: A/G from rs1059751 ( P = 0.023), G/G from rs1059751 ( P = 0.030) and C/C of rs3742106 ( P = 0.041). The increase in the fraction of excreted phosphorus was associated with the C/T genotype of SNCC rsP40037 from ABCC2 ( P = 0.0041). CONCLUSIONS The results indicate an important relationship between SNPs associated with these markers and changes in proximal renal tubule function, and thus support their use as biomarkers for the early detection of PRTD risk.

Abstract
Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) associates with renal tubular dysfunction (RTD) in some people living with HIV (PLWH). We studied clinical and genetic factors associated with RTD in Thai PLWH receiving TDF. RTD was diagnosed in 13 of 65 (20%) patients. The median (interquartile range) age and CD4 cell counts were 43.8 (40.4-50.9) years and 554 (437-716) cells/mm3, respectively. The median duration of TDF use was 46.9 (31.5-54.1) months. Univariate logistic regression demonstrated body mass index (BMI), concomitant use of protease inhibitor (PI), hyperlipidemia, and homozygous C/C SNP rs1059751 of ABCC4 gene as predisposing factors of RTD. In multivariate model, concomitant use of PI [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 11.39; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.59- 81.56; P = 0.015], hyperlipidemia (aOR 8.59; 95% CI, 1.46-50.40; P = 0.017), and BMI (aOR 0.76; 95% CI, 0.59-0.98; P = 0.037) remained associated with RTD in patients receiving TDF. PLWH receiving TDF with the presence of these factors should be closely monitored for RTD.

Abstract
The use of antiretrovirals (ARVs) as oral, topical, or long-acting pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) has emerged as a promising strategy for HIV prevention. Clinical trials testing Truvada® [tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF)/tenofovir (TFV) and emtricitabine (FTC)] as oral or topical PrEP in African women showed mixed results in preventing HIV infections. Since oral and topical PrEP effectiveness is dependent on adequate drug delivery and availability to sites of HIV infection such as the blood and female genital tract (FGT); host biological factors such as drug transporters have been implicated as key regulators of PrEP. Drug transporter expression levels and function have been identified as critical determinants of PrEP efficacy by regulating PrEP pharmacokinetics across various cells and tissues of the blood, renal tissues, FGT mucosal tissues and other immune cells targeted by HIV. In addition, biological factors such as genetic polymorphisms and genital inflammation also influence drug transporter expression levels and functionality. In this review, drug transporters and biological factors modulating drug transporter disposition are used to explain discrepancies observed in PrEP clinical trials. This review also provides insight at a pharmacological level of how these factors further increase the susceptibility of the FGT to HIV infections, subsequently contributing to ineffective PrEP interventions in African women.

Abstract
Background Tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (TAF) was approved for HBV treatment in China in 2018. Despite higher antiviral efficacy and less impact on renal function and bone mineral density, the pharmacokinetic profiles of TAF are highly variable. The objectives of this study were to investigate the pharmacokinetics of TAF in the Chinese population and explore the associations between TAF and genetic polymorphisms and non-genetic factors. Patients and Methods A total of 64 healthy Chinese subjects aged 18~65 years old were planned to enroll. According to the dietary intake status, the subjects were divided into two groups (n = 32 per group). The concentrations of TAF and tenofovir were measured by HPLC-MS/MS, and the single-nucleotide polymorphisms were analyzed by MALDI-TOF MS. Results All the enrolled participants (18–35 years) completed the clinical trial study. Similar to the results reported in other ethnic populations, the pharmacokinetic profiles of TAF and tenofovir were highly variable in the Chinese people, and the HFHC diet can significantly increase the systemic exposure of TAF. We determined both HFHC diet and rs7311358 (SLCO1B3) genotypes were independently associated with TAF AUC0-t, while HFHC diet, age and rs3740066 (ABCC2) variants were predictive of t1/2 of tenofovir (P < 0.05). The subjects with the AA genotype in rs7311358 had significantly higher TAF AUC0-t values (1.15 times) than those with a G allele, and the t1/2 of tenofovir in the rs3740066 TT genotype group was 1.23 times longer than that of CC genotype group. Furthermore, there was a trend of higher TAF AUC and shorter tenofovir t1/2 for the rs2032582 (ABCB1) T allele and rs3742106 (ABCC4) CC variant, respectively, although not statistically significant in the multiple linear regression analysis. Conclusion This study provided new evidence to suggest a critical link between both genetic and non-genetic factors and TAF pharmacokinetics in the Chinese people.

Abstract
Numerous studies have reported the emergence of antimicrobial resistance during the treatment of common infections. Multidrug resistance (MDR) leads to failure of antimicrobial treatment, prolonged illness, and increased morbidity and mortality. Overexpression of multidrug resistance proteins (MRPs) as drug efflux pumps are one of the main contributions of MDR, especially multidrug resistance protein 4 (MRP4/ABCC4) in the development of antimicrobial resistance. The molecular mechanism of antimicrobial resistance is still under investigation. Various intervention strategies have been developed for overcoming MDR, but the effect is limited. Suppression of MRP4 may be an attractive therapeutic approach for addressing drug resistance. However, there are few reports on the involvement of MRP4 in antimicrobial resistance and inflammatory diseases. In this review, we introduced the function and regulation of MRP4, and then summarized the roles of MRP4 in microbial infections and inflammatory diseases as well as polymorphisms in the gene encoding this transporter. Further studies should be conducted on drug therapy targeting MRP4 to improve the efficacy of antimicrobial therapy. This review can provide useful information on MRP4 for overcoming antimicrobial resistance and anti-inflammatory therapy.

Abstract
The PharmacoScan pharmacogenomics platform screens for variation in genes that affect drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination, immune adverse reactions and targets. Among the 1,191 genes tested on the platform, 12 genes are expressed in the red cell membrane: ABCC1, ABCC4, ABCC5, ABCG2, CFTR, SLC16A1, SLC19A1, SLC29A1, ATP7A, CYP4F3, EPHX1 and FLOT1. These genes represent 5 ATP-binding cassette proteins, 3 solute carrier proteins, 1 ATP transport protein and 3 genes associated with drug metabolism and adverse drug reactions. Only ABCG2 and SLC29A1 encode blood group systems, JR and AUG, respectively. We propose red cells as an ex vivo model system to study the effect of heritable variants in genes encoding the transport proteins on the pharmacokinetics of drugs. Altered pharmacodynamics in red cells could also cause adverse reactions, such as haemolysis, hitherto unexplained by other mechanisms.

Variation in 100 relevant pharmacogenes among emiratis with insights from understudied populations. Sci Rep 2020; 10:21310. [PMID: 33277594 PMCID: PMC7718919 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-78231-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2020] [Accepted: 11/17/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Genetic variations have an established impact on the pharmacological response. Investigating this variation resulted in a compilation of variants in "pharmacogenes". The emergence of next-generation sequencing facilitated large-scale pharmacogenomic studies and exhibited the extensive variability of pharmacogenes. Some rare and population-specific variants proved to be actionable, suggesting the significance of population pharmacogenomic research. A profound gap exists in the knowledge of pharmacogenomic variants enriched in some populations, including the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The current study aims to explore the landscape of variations in relevant pharmacogenes among healthy Emiratis. Through the resequencing of 100 pharmacogenes for 100 healthy Emiratis, we identified 1243 variants, of which 63% are rare (minor allele frequency ≤ 0.01), and 30% were unique. Filtering the variants according to Pharmacogenomics Knowledge Base (PharmGKB) annotations identified 27 diplotypes and 26 variants with an evident clinical relevance. Comparison with global data illustrated a significant deviation of allele frequencies in the UAE population. Understudied populations display a distinct allelic architecture and various rare and unique variants. We underscored pharmacogenes with the highest variation frequencies and provided investigators with a list of candidate genes for future studies. Population pharmacogenomic studies are imperative during the pursuit of global pharmacogenomics implementation.

Design and methods of the prevalence and pharmacogenomics of tenofovir nephrotoxicity in HIV-positive adults in south-western Nigeria study. BMC Nephrol 2020; 21:436. [PMID: 33066744 PMCID: PMC7565751 DOI: 10.1186/s12882-020-02082-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2020] [Accepted: 09/30/2020] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Individuals of African descent are at higher risk of developing kidney disease than their European counterparts, and HIV infection is associated with increased risk of nephropathy. Despite a safe renal profile in the clinical trials, long-term use of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) has been associated with proximal renal tubulopathy although the underlying mechanisms remain undetermined. We aim to establish the prevalence of and risk factors for TDF-induced kidney tubular dysfunction (KTD) among HIV-I and II individuals treated with TDF in south-west Nigeria. Association between TDF-induced KTD and genetic polymorphisms in renal drug transporter genes and the APOL1 (Apolipoprotein L1) gene will be examined. METHODS This study has two phases. An initial cross-sectional study will screen 3000 individuals attending the HIV clinics in south-west Nigeria for KTD to determine the prevalence and risk factors. This will be followed by a case-control study of 400 KTD cases and 400 matched controls to evaluate single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) associations. Data on socio-demographics, risk factors for kidney dysfunction and HIV history will be collected by questionnaire. Blood and urine samples for measurements of severity of HIV disease (CD4 count, viral load) and renal function (creatinine, eGFR, phosphate, uric acid, glucose) will also be collected. Utility of urinary retinol binding protein (RBP) and N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) levels as surrogate markers of KTD will be evaluated. Genomic DNA will be extracted from whole blood and SNP analyses performed using the rhAMP SNP genotyping assays. Statistical analysis including univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses will be performed to identify factors associated with KTD. DISCUSSION In spite of TDF being the most commonly used antiretroviral agent and a key component of many HIV treatment regimens, it has potential detrimental effects on the kidneys. This study will establish the burden and risk factors for TDF-induced KTD in Nigerians, and explore associations between KTD and polymorphisms in renal transporter genes as well as APOL1 risk variants. This study may potentially engender an approach for prevention as well as stemming the burden of CKD in sub-Saharan Africa where GDP per capita is low and budgetary allocation for health is inadequate.

Abstract
Tenofovir disoproxyl fumarate (TDF) has been associated with renal tubular abnormalities, phosphaturia and proteinuria (retinol binding protein, RBP, loss): vitamin D (VD) and PTH affect these markers. Aim was to understand if some single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were predictors of renal abnormalities in an Italian cohort of HIV-affected patients. DNA was analyzed through real-time PCR, urinary RBP corrected by creatinine (uRBP/Cr). The majority of patients received TDF. Abnormal uRBP/Cr was more frequent in TDF recipients: eGFR <90 mL/min and TDF were predictors in the whole cohort, whereas eGFR <90 mL/min, TDF concentrations and CYP24A1-3999TT in TDF-treated patients. Phosphate levels were higher low VD level patients: age <50 years, CYP27B1 + 2838CC genotype and non-European ancestry were predictors. PTH levels were border-line higher in TDF patients: non-European ancestry, females, TDF, VD levels < 30 ng/mL and SLC28A2-124CT/TT and ABCC2-24CC were predictors. For the first time, SNPs were associated with PTH, phosphate, calcium and tubular dysfunction in HIV-infected patients.

Abstract
MRP4 is an ABC membrane transporter involved in clinical outcomes as it is located in many tissues that manages the transport and the elimination of many drugs. This review explores the implication of MRP4 in clinical pharmacology and the importance of its genetic variability. Although there is no specific recommendation regarding the study of MRP4 in drug development, it should be considered when drugs are eliminated by the kidney or liver or when drug-drug interactions are expected.

ABCC4 Variants Modify Susceptibility to Kawasaki Disease in a Southern Chinese Population. DISEASE MARKERS 2018; 2018:8638096.

Abstract
A previous family-based linkage study revealed that Kawasaki disease (KD) was associated with variations of the ATP-binding cassette subfamily C member 4 (ABCC4) gene in most European populations. However, significant differences exist among ethnic populations in European and Chinese subjects; therefore, whether ABCC4 variants indicate susceptibility to KD in Chinese children is unclear. The purpose of this research was to evaluate correlations between ABCC4 gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to KD in a Southern Chinese population. We genotyped six polymorphisms (rs7986087, rs868853, rs3765534, rs1751034, rs3742106, and rs9561778) in 775 KD patients and 774 healthy controls. Ninety-five percent confidence intervals (95% CIs) and odds ratios (ORs) were used to assess the strength of each association. We found that the rs7986087 T variant genotype was associated with significantly higher susceptibility to KD (adjusted OR = 1.30, 95% CI = 1.05–1.60 for rs7986087 CT/TT). However, the rs868853 T variant genotype was associated with significantly lower susceptibility to KD (adjusted OR = 0.74, 95% CI = 0.59–0.92 for rs868853 CT/CC). Compared with the patients with 0–4 ABCC4 risk genotypes, the patients with 5-6 ABCC4 risk genotypes had a significantly increased risk of KD (adjusted OR = 1.63, 95% CI = 1.07–2.47), and this risk was more significant in the subgroups of females, subjects aged 12–60 months, and individuals with coronary artery lesions. These results indicate that specific single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the ABCC4 gene may increase susceptibility to KD in a Southern Chinese population.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) reduces viral load to under the limit of detection, successfully decreasing HIV-related morbidity and mortality. Due to viral mutations, complex drug combinations and different patient response, there is an increasing demand for individualized treatment options for patients. AREAS COVERED This review first summarizes the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile of clinical first-line drugs, which serves as guidance for antiretroviral precision medicine. Factors which have influential effects on drug efficacy and thus precision medicine are discussed: patients' pharmacogenetic information, virus mutations, comorbidities, and immune recovery. Furthermore, strategies to improve the application of precision medicine are discussed. EXPERT OPINION Precision medicine for ART requires comprehensive information on the drug, virus, and clinical data from the patients. The clinically available genetic tests are a good starting point. To better apply precision medicine, deeper knowledge of drug concentrations, HIV reservoirs, and efficacy associated genes, such as polymorphisms of drug transporters and metabolizing enzymes, are required. With advanced computer-based prediction systems which integrate more comprehensive information on pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, pharmacogenomics, and the clinically relevant information of the patients, precision medicine will lead to better treatment choices and improved disease outcomes.

Abstract
The association between single nucleotide polymorphisms of genes encoding transport proteins involved in the bio-disposition of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and kidney tubular dysfunction (KTD) in HIV-positive patients was examined in this study. Fifty-eight patients who received TDF were screened for KTD using retinol-binding protein (RBP) concentration in urine. We defined KTD as the top quartile of urinary RBP/creatinine ratio (>17 μg/mmol), regardless of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) or proteinuria. Genotyping of genes encoding transport proteins involved in the disposition of TDF was undertaken using validated Taqman 5' nuclease assays. Patients with KTD (N = 15) had higher current CD4 cell counts, lower eGFR and were less likely to possess the genotype CC at position 24 of the ABBC2 (MRP2, rs717620) gene. In multivariate analysis, genotype CC at position 24 of the ABBC2 gene was significantly associated with KTD (odds ratio =0.05, 95% confidence interval = 0.003-0.7, P = 0.027). Genotype CC at position 24 of the ABBC2 (MRP2 rs717620) gene was significantly associated with a reduced risk of elevated urinary RBP in HIV-positive patients exposed to TDF.

Abstract
Drug-transporter interactions could impact renal drug clearance and should ideally be detected in early stages of drug development to avoid toxicity-related withdrawals in later stages. This requires reliable and robust assays for which current high-throughput screenings have, however, poor predictability. Kidney-on-a-chip platforms have the potential to improve predictability, but often lack compatibility with high-content detection platforms. Here, we combined conditionally immortalized proximal tubule epithelial cells overexpressing organic anion transporter 1 (ciPTEC-OAT1) with the microfluidic titer plate OrganoPlate to develop a screenings assay for renal drug-transporter interactions. In this platform, apical localization of F-actin and intracellular tight-junction protein zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) indicated appropriate cell polarization. Gene expression levels of the drug transporters organic anion transporter 1 (OAT1; SLC22A6), organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2; SLC22A2), P-glycoprotein (P-gp; ABCB1), and multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 and 4 (MRP2/4; ABCC2/4) were similar levels to 2D static cultures. Functionality of the efflux transporters P-gp and MRP2/4 was studied as proof-of-concept for 3D assays using calcein-AM and 5-chloromethylfluorescein-diacetate (CMFDA), respectively. Confocal imaging demonstrated a 4.4 ± 0.2-fold increase in calcein accumulation upon P-gp inhibition using PSC833. For MRP2/4, a 3.0 ± 0.2-fold increased accumulation of glutathione-methylfluorescein (GS-MF) was observed upon inhibition with a combination of PSC833, MK571, and KO143. Semi-quantitative image processing methods for P-gp and MRP2/4 was demonstrated with corresponding Z'-factors of 0.1 ± 0.3 and 0.4 ± 0.1, respectively. In conclusion, we demonstrate a 3D microfluidic PTEC model valuable for screening of drug-transporter interactions that further allows multiplexing of endpoint read-outs for drug-transporter interactions and toxicity.

Correlation of MCT1 and ABCC2 gene polymorphisms with valproic acid resistance in patients with epilepsy on valproic acid monotherapy. Drug Metab Pharmacokinet 2018; 34:165-171.

Abstract
Valproic acid (VPA) is used as one of the first-line antiepileptic drugs to control seizure in epilepsy patients. However, one third of patients do not respond to VPA. This study is to investigate the influence of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in multidrug transporters on VPA responses in Han Chinese epilepsy patients on VPA monotherapy. Twelve SNPs involved in VPA transport pathways, including ABCC2, ABCC4, ABCG2, MCT1, MCT2 and OATP2B1 were genotyped in 153 Han Chinese epilepsy patients. We found that among all the patients, MCT1 rs60844753 CC carriers have higher incidence of VPA-resistance than CG carriers (P = 0.05), and in subgroup of generalized seizure, ABCC2 rs3740066 CC carriers had higher frequency of VPA resistance than TC + TT carriers (P = 0.03). Although other SNPs were not correlated with VPA resistance, significant ethnic difference was found in minor allele frequency of these SNPs, indicating that the influence of these SNPs on VPA efficacy should be broadly investigated in other ethnic populations. This study provides nominal evidence that SNPs of genes involved in the transport of VPA contribute to interpatient variation in VPA response. Although the associations were abolished after Bonferroni correction, the results provide an incentive for further research in sufficiently large samples.

Abstract
To date, antiretroviral therapy is highly effective in HIV-affected patients, but the individualization of such a life-long therapy may be advised. This review briefly summarizes the main factors involved in the potential personalization of antiretroviral treatment. Relevant articles in English were identified by PubMed and recent congresses’ abstracts. Foremost influences concerning pharmacodynamics, therapeutic drug monitoring, pharmacogenetics, comorbidities, immune recovery and viral characteristics affecting the healthcare of HIV-positive patients are listed here. Furthermore, pharmacoeconomic aspects are mentioned. Applying pharmacokinetic and pharmacogenetic knowledge may be informative and guide the better choice of treatment in order to achieve long-term efficacy and avoid adverse events. Randomized investigations of the clinical relevance of tailored antiretroviral regimens are needed in order to obtain a better management of HIV/AIDS-affected patients.

Abstract
Analysis of aging and pharmacogenetics (PGx) on antiretroviral pharmacokinetics (PKs) could inform precision dosing for older human HIV‐infected patients. Seventy‐four participants receiving either atazanavir/ritonavir (ATV/RTV) or efavirenz (EFV) with tenofovir/emtricitabine (TFV/FTC) provided PK and PGx information. Aging‐PGx‐PK association and interaction analyses were conducted using one‐way analysis of variance (ANOVA), multiple linear regression, and Random Forest ensemble methods. Our analyses associated unbound ATV disposition with multidrug resistance protein (MRP)4, RTV with P‐glycoprotein (P‐gp), and EFV with cytochrome P450 (CYP)2B6 and MRP4 genetic variants. The clearance and cellular distribution of TFV were associated with P‐gp, MRP2, and concentrative nucleoside transporters (CNTs), and FTC parameters were associated with organic cation transporters (OCTs) and MRP2 genetic variants. Notably, p16INK4a expression, a cellular aging marker, predicted EFV and FTC PK when genetic factors were adjusted. Both age and p16INK4a expression interacted with PGx on ATV and TFV disposition, implying potential dose adjustment based on aging may depend on genetic background.

Clinical and genetic factors associated with kidney tubular dysfunction in a real-life single centre cohort of HIV-positive patients. BMC Infect Dis 2017; 17:396. [PMID: 28583112 PMCID: PMC5460416 DOI: 10.1186/s12879-017-2497-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2017] [Accepted: 05/28/2017] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Tenofovir (TDF) is one of the most widely used antiretroviral drug. Despite the high degree of tolerability a small percentage of patients experienced alteration in tubular function during TDF use. Intracellular TDF disposition is regulated by ATP-binding cassette (ABC) drug efflux transporters and, a reduced transport activity may be implicated in accumulation of TDF into the cells. The aim of our study was to assess the major determinants of TDF associated tubular dysfunction (KTD) in a real-life setting including the usefulness of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) mapping into ABCC2, ABCC4 and ABCC10 genes. Methods We retrospectively analyzed all HIV positive patients who were followed at the Infectious Diseases Unit, DIBIC Luigi Sacco, University of Milan from April 2013 to June 2016. All patients treated with TDF who underwent a genotypization for the functional variants mapping in ABCC2 rs717620 (−24 C > T), ABCC4 rs1751034 (3463 A > G) and ABCC10 rs2125739 (T > C) were evaluated. KTD was defined as the presence of urine phosphate wasting and/or proteinuria at 24 h urine analysis. Results One hundred fifty-eight patients were genotyped, of which 42 (26.6%) experienced signs of KTD. No statistical significant differences were observed among patients with or without KTD regarding age, gender, ethnicity and comorbidities (hypertension and diabetes). The percentage of patients with KTD was higher among those with “GG” genotype at rs1751034 of ABCC4 compared to patients without KTD [6 (14.3%) vs 4 (3.5%), p = 0.01]. No statistical significant differences were observed regarding the distribution of ABCC2 and ABCC10 SNPs. Carriers of “G” allele in homozygous status at rs1751034 of ABCC4 showed a significant association with KTD (Odds Ratio 4.67, 95% CI 1.25–17.46, p = 0.02) in bivariate analysis, but this association was lost in multivariable analysis. A significant association between bone diseases and KTD was observed (Odds Ratio 3.178, 95%CI 1.529–6.603, p = 0.002). Conclusions According to our results ABCC4 rs1751034 could be a genetic determinant of KTD; however validation studies are needed for therapy personalization. Noteworthy, a strong association between bone disease and KTD was also observed.

Evaluating the association of single-nucleotide polymorphisms with tenofovir exposure in a diverse prospective cohort of women living with HIV. THE PHARMACOGENOMICS JOURNAL 2017; 18:245-250. [PMID: 28462920 DOI: 10.1038/tpj.2017.3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2016] [Revised: 12/20/2016] [Accepted: 01/18/2017] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
Higher exposure to tenofovir (TFV) increases the risk for kidney function decline, but the impact of genetic factors on TFV exposure is largely unknown. We investigated whether single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs, n=211) in 12 genes are potentially involved in TFV exposure. Participants (n=91) from the Women's Interagency HIV Study, underwent a 24 h intensive pharmacokinetic sampling of TFV after witnessed dose and TFV area under the time-concentration curves (AUCs) were calculated for each participant. SNPs were assayed using a combination of array genotyping and Sanger sequencing. Linear regression models were applied to logarithmically transformed AUC. Those SNPs that met an a priori threshold of P<0.001 were considered statistically associated with TFV AUC. ABCG2 SNP rs2231142 was associated with TFV AUC with rare allele carriers displaying 1.51-fold increase in TFV AUC (95% confidence interval: 1.26, 1.81; P=1.7 × 10-5). We present evidence of a moderately strong effect of the rs2231142 SNP in ABCG2 on a 24 h TFV AUC.

Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate Is a New Substrate of ATP-Binding Cassette Subfamily C Member 11. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2017; 61:AAC.01725-16.

Abstract
Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), a nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor, after conversion to tenofovir (TFV), is mainly eliminated by glomerular filtration and active tubular secretion. The major adverse effect of tenofovir is nephrotoxicity; however, the exact mechanism remains poorly understood. In this study, the ATP-binding cassette subfamily C member 11 (ABCC11; multidrug resistance protein 8 [MRP8]) transporter, which is abundant in proximal tubular cells, was demonstrated to act as an efflux transporter of tenofovir. Real-time PCR (RT-PCR) and indirect immunofluorescence assays were used to determine MRP8 overexpression in a continuous cell line. Tenofovir accumulations were assessed by cytotoxicity, cellular transport, and vesicular uptake assays. Substrate specificity was confirmed using MK-571, an MRP-specific inhibitor, and methotrexate, which served as a known substrate. Intracellular and intravesicular concentrations of tenofovir were determined by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The 50% cytotoxic concentration (CC50) of TDF in MRP8-overexpressing cells was 4.78 times higher than that of parental cells. Transport assays also showed that the intracellular accumulation of tenofovir in MRP8-overexpressing cells was 55 times lower than that in parental cells and was partly reversed by MK-571. Similarly, an "inside-out" vesicular uptake assay, using Sf9 inverted membrane vesicles to allow measuring of accumulation of the substrates into the vesicles, demonstrated a higher intravesicular concentration of tenofovir in MRP8-overexpressing vesicles than in Sf9 insect control vesicles. These effects were effectively reversed by increasing concentrations of the specific inhibitor MK-571. In conclusion, tenofovir is a new substrate of the MRP8 transporter. An alteration in the activity of this efflux pump may increase the intracellular accumulation of tenofovir in proximal renal tubular cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is widely used in the treatment or prevention of HIV and hepatitis B infection. TDF may cause renal tubulopathy in a small proportion of recipients. We aimed to study the risk factors for developing severe renal tubulopathy. METHODS We conducted an observational cohort study with retrospective identification of cases of treatment-limiting tubulopathy during TDF exposure. We used multivariate Poisson regression analysis to identify risk factors for tubulopathy, and mixed effects models to analyse adjusted estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) slopes. RESULTS Between October 2002 and June 2013, 60 (0.4%) of 15,983 patients who had received TDF developed tubulopathy after a median exposure of 44.1 (IQR 20.4, 64.4) months. Tubulopathy cases were predominantly male (92%), of white ethnicity (93%), and exposed to antiretroviral regimens that contained boosted protease inhibitors (PI, 90%). In multivariate analysis, age, ethnicity, CD4 cell count and use of didanosine or PI were significantly associated with tubulopathy. Tubulopathy cases experienced significantly greater eGFR decline while receiving TDF than the comparator group (-6.60 [-7.70, -5.50] vs. -0.34 [-0.43, -0.26] mL/min/1.73 m2/year, p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Older age, white ethnicity, immunodeficiency and co-administration of ddI and PI were risk factors for tubulopathy in patients who received TDF-containing antiretroviral therapy. The presence of rapid eGFR decline identified TDF recipients at increased risk of tubulopathy.

Abstract
Neurological complications associated with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are a matter of great concern. While antiretroviral (ARV) drugs are the cornerstone of HIV treatment and typically produce neurological benefit, some ARV drugs have limited CNS penetration while others have been associated with neurotoxicity. CNS penetration is a function of several factors including sieving role of blood-brain and blood-CSF barriers and activity of innate drug transporters. Other factors are related to pharmacokinetics and pharmacogenetics of the specific ARV agent or mediated by drug interactions, local inflammation, and blood flow. In this review, we provide an overview of the various factors influencing CNS penetration of ARV drugs with an emphasis on those commonly used in sub-Saharan Africa. We also summarize some key associations between ARV drug penetration, CNS efficacy, and neurotoxicity.

Abstract
Renal disease is a common complication of HIV-infected patients, associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events, progression to AIDS, AIDS-defining illness, and mortality. Early and accurate identification of renal disease is therefore crucial to improve patient outcomes. The use of serum creatinine, along with proteinuria, to detect renal involvement is essentially to screen for markers of glomerular disease and may not be effective in detecting earlier stages of renal injury. Therefore, more sensitive and specific markers are needed in order to early identify HIV-infected patients at risk of renal disease. This review article summarizes some new and important urinary markers of tubular injury in HIV-infected patients and their clinical usefulness in the renal safety follow-up of TDF-treated patients.
