Al-Taie A, Büyük AŞ, Sardas S. Considerations into pharmacogenomics of COVID-19 pharmacotherapy: Hope, hype and reality. Pulm Pharmacol Ther 2022; 77:102172. [PMID: 36265833 PMCID: PMC9576910 DOI: 10.1016/j.pupt.2022.102172] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2022] [Revised: 09/16/2022] [Accepted: 10/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/07/2022]
Abstract
COVID-19 medicines, such as molnupiravir are beginning to emerge for public health and clinical practice. On the other hand, drugs display marked variability in their efficacy and safety. Hence, COVID-19 medicines, as with all drugs, will be subject to the age-old maxim "one size prescription does not fit all". In this context, pharmacogenomics is the study of genome-by-drug interactions and offers insights on mechanisms of patient-to-patient and between-population variations in drug efficacy and safety. Pharmacogenomics information is crucial to tailoring the patients' prescriptions to achieve COVID-19 preventive and therapeutic interventions that take into account the host biology, patients' genome, and variable environmental exposures that collectively influence drug efficacy and safety. This expert review critically evaluates and summarizes the pharmacogenomics and personalized medicine aspects of the emerging COVID-19 drugs, and other selected drug interventions deployed to date. Here, we aim to sort out the hope, hype, and reality and suggest that there are veritable prospects to advance COVID-19 medicines for public health benefits, provided that pharmacogenomics is considered and implemented adequately. Pharmacogenomics is an integral part of rational and evidence-based medical practice. Scientists, health care professionals, pharmacists, pharmacovigilance practitioners, and importantly, patients stand to benefit by expanding the current pandemic response toolbox by the science of pharmacogenomics, and its applications in COVID-19 medicines and clinical trials.

Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease that affects multiple body systems with heterogeneous clinical manifestations. Since gene expression analyses have been accomplished on diverse types of samples to specify SLE-related genes, single-cohort transcriptomics have not produced reliable results. Using an integrated multi-cohort analysis framework, we analyzed whole blood cells from SLE patients from three transcriptomics cohorts (n=1222) and identified a five-gene signature that distinguished SLE patients from controls. We validated the diagnostic performance of this five-gene signature in six independent validation cohorts (n= 469), with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.88 [95% CI 0.7 − 0.96]. This five-gene signature may be associated with the proportion of SLE immune cells, and generalizable across ages and sample types with real diagnostic value for clinical application.

Misra DP, Agarwal V. Th17.1 lymphocytes: emerging players in the orchestra of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases. Clin Rheumatol 2022; 41:2297-2308. [PMID: 35546376 DOI: 10.1007/s10067-022-06202-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2022] [Revised: 05/01/2022] [Accepted: 05/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
It is now well established that Th17 lymphocytes associate with myriad immune-mediated inflammatory diseases. Over the past one and a half decades, a subset of Th17 lymphocytes viz. Th17.1 lymphocytes has been identified in pre-clinical and clinical models of inflammatory rheumatic diseases. These lymphocytes secrete IL-17A (signature cytokine of Th17 lymphocytes) as well as IFN-γ (the signature cytokine of Th1 lymphocytes). They express the chemokine markers for Th1 (CXCR3) as well as Th17 (CCR6) lymphocytes. Th17.1 lymphocytes also express the drug efflux protein p-glycoprotein, which associates with resistance to corticosteroids and other immunosuppressive drugs. This narrative review overviews the evidence regarding Th17.1 lymphocytes in different inflammatory rheumatic diseases. It is now recognized that Th17.1 lymphocytes are increased in the synovial fluid of affected joints in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and associate with poor treatment response to abatacept. Th17.1 lymphocytes from synovial fluid of RA are less responsive to immunosuppression than those from the peripheral blood. In sarcoidosis, Th17.1 lymphocytes are concentrated in mediastinal lymph nodes and alveolar lining. Such Th17.1 lymphocytes in sarcoidosis are the predominant source of IFN-γ in the sarcoid lung. Th17.1 lymphocytes are elevated in lupus and Takayasu arteritis and associate with disease activity. Future studies should evaluate isolated Th17.1 lymphocytes from peripheral blood or sites of pathology such as synovial fluid and assess their modulation with immunosuppressive therapy in vitro. The analysis of gene expression signature of isolated Th17.1 lymphocytes might enable the identification of newer therapeutic strategies specifically targeting these cell populations in inflammatory rheumatic diseases. Key Points • Th17.1 lymphocytes are a subset of Th17 lymphocytes secreting both IFN-γ and IL-17 • Th17.1 lymphocytes drive neutrophilic inflammation, granuloma formation, and corticosteroid resistance • Th17.1 lymphocytes are elevated in rheumatoid arthritis and sarcoidosis at sites of inflammation • Increased circulating Th17.1 lymphocytes have been identified in lupus and Takayasu arteritis and associate with active disease.

Abstract
Osteonecrosis (ON) is one of the serious and well recognized complicationscausing severe pain and disability in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and its manifestation and pathogenesis are only partially understood. This review provide an update of the recent progress in etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus related osteonecrosis (SLE-ON). Despite the concomitant use of corticosteroids, alcohol and obesity, the dysregulated immune micro-environment and the complex pathogenesis of SLE synergistically play important roles in the development of ON. Osteonecrosis of femoral head (ONFH) is the most often involved joint in SLE. The current classification and staging system of ONFH is based on imaging techniques, particularly relating to MRI and CT, for the identification and quantification of necrotic lesions. For SLE-ONFH patients, both SLE specific clinical symptoms and ONFH imaging findings should be comprehensively evaluated. Even though advances concerning bone grafting and arthroplasty procedures have resulted in improved clinical outcomes, early pharmacological treatment at the pre-collapse stage may prevent joint collapse and reduce the joint arthroplasty rate, and this needs to be accounted. Although some progress has been made, considerably more research is needed before we fully understand SLE-ONFH. Future treatments of SLE-ONFH may involve genetic or cell-based therapies that target potential biomarkers, and this will lead to effective measures for saving thefunction of hip joint and preventing osteonecrosis.

Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disease that follows an unpredictable disease course and affects multiple organs and tissues. We performed an integrated, multicohort analysis of 7,471 transcriptomic profiles from 40 independent studies to identify robust gene expression changes associated with SLE. We identified a 93-gene signature (SLE MetaSignature) that is differentially expressed in the blood of patients with SLE compared with healthy volunteers; distinguishes SLE from other autoimmune, inflammatory, and infectious diseases; and persists across diverse tissues and cell types. The SLE MetaSignature correlated significantly with disease activity and other clinical measures of inflammation. We prospectively validated the SLE MetaSignature in an independent cohort of pediatric patients with SLE using a microfluidic quantitative PCR (qPCR) array. We found that 14 of the 93 genes in the SLE MetaSignature were independent of IFN-induced and neutrophil-related transcriptional profiles that have previously been associated with SLE. Pathway analysis revealed dysregulation associated with nucleic acid biosynthesis and immunometabolism in SLE. We further refined a neutropoiesis signature and identified underappreciated transcripts related to immune cells and oxidative stress. In our multicohort, transcriptomic analysis has uncovered underappreciated genes and pathways associated with SLE pathogenesis, with the potential to advance clinical diagnosis, biomarker development, and targeted therapeutics for SLE.

Abstract
Bullous pemphigoid (BP) constitutes the most prevalent disease in the group of bullous dermatoses with the autoimmune background. Some authors suggest that certain cytokines (IL-2, IFN-γ) may be transported by P-glycoprotein (P-gp), the product of the ABCB1 gene. ABCB1 polymorphism might affect not only the effectiveness of treatment with drugs that are P-gp substrates but also contribute to the development of diseases, including BP. In the present work, we resolved to conduct a haplotype analysis of ABCB1 in patients with BP and to answer the question of whether any of the haplotypes are able to affect the incidence of this entity. The study involved 71 patients with BP and 100 healthy volunteers. Determination of polymorphisms 1236C > T and 3435C > T in ABCB1 was carried out with the PCR-RFLP (Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism) method. The 2677G > T/A ABCB1 polymorphism was analyzed with the allele-specific PCR method. It was observed that the 1236T-2677G-3435T haplotype occurred with a statistically significantly lower frequency in patients with BP than in controls (1.4 vs. 10.0%). Carriers of this haplotype were also shown to have had a low relative risk for BP (OR = 0.13, p = 0.003). Haplotype analysis of ABCB1 conducted in patients with BP demonstrated that the 1236T-2677G-3435T haplotype may protect against development of this entity.

Abstract
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) belongs to the group of systemic diseases of the connective tissue, which are characterized by a chronic autoimmune inflammatory process. P-glycoprotein, initially associated with the drug resistance in patients with cancer, becomes more and more often a subject of considerations in terms of its significance in the development of illnesses, including autoimmune diseases. The aim of the study was an attempt to answer the question whether there was a relationship between ABCB1 polymorphisms and morbidity of systemic sclerosis in a Polish population. The study was carried out in 61 patients with SSc and 100 healthy volunteers. Determination of polymorphisms C1236T and C3435T in ABCB1 was carried out with the PCR-RFLP (polymerase chain reaction - restriction fragment length polymorphism) method. The G2677T/A ABCB1 polymorphism was analysed with the allele-specific PCR method. No statistically significant differences were observed in the frequencies of ABCB1 genotypes and alleles between SSc patients and the control group. It was observed that haplotype 1236 C-2677 G-3435 T occurred in the group of patients with SSc statistically more frequently than in the group of healthy volunteers (25% vs. 15%; p = .032). Carriers of the haplotype demonstrated almost a twofold greater risk of SSc (OR = 1.85; p = .032). No statistically significant correlations for the other nine haplotypes were found. Presented results concerning the relationship of ABCB1 polymorphisms with susceptibility to systemic sclerosis are the first ones that were obtained in a Polish population. They imply that single nucleotide polymorphisms do not affect the risk for SSc, but the 1236 C-2677 G-3435 T haplotype might increase this risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Polymorphisms in the P-glycoprotein-encoding ABCB1 gene may affect the intracellular concentration of xenobiotics, and thus contribute to the development of autoimmune diseases, including bullous pemphigoid (BP). The objective of the present study was to investigate whether there is an association between the C3435T and G2677T/A polymorphisms in the ABCB1 gene and the risk of BP in a Polish population. PATIENTS AND METHODS The study included 71 patients with BP and 156 healthy volunteers. Determination of the C3435T polymorphism was carried out using PCR-RFLP; the G2677T/A polymorphism, using allele-specific PCR. RESULTS While there was no correlation between the C3435T polymorphism and the risk of BP, we did find such an association with respect to the G2677T/A polymorphism. The relative risk of BP was more than five times greater in individuals with the 2677TA genotype (OR = 5.52, p = 0.0063), and more than twice as high in carriers of the 2677TT genotype (OR = 2.40, p = 0.0076). At 2.40 (0.000018), the OR in carriers of the 2677T allele was also increased. The greater prevalence of the 2677GG genotype and the 2677G allele in the control group, as well as the OR < 1.0 (0.22 and 0.33, respectively), suggest a protective role of the 2677G allele with respect to the development of BP. CONCLUSIONS The results of the present study indicate that the G2677T/A polymorphism in the ABCB1 gene may affect the risk of developing BP.

Abstract
The multidrug resistance 1 gene (MDR1) encodes for P-glycoprotein (P-gp), which plays a pathophysiological role in the development of autoimmune diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Herein, we aimed to investigate the relationship between MDR1 gene polymorphisms and SLE susceptibility in the Chinese Guangxi population. The genotypes of rs1128503 and rs1045642 in MDR1 gene were analyzed using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method in 283 SLE patients and 247 healthy controls from Guangxi. Direct sequencing method was used to verify the results. Binary logistic regression analyses adjusting for gender and age indicated that subjects carrying the rs1128503 T-allele and TT genotype were at increased risk of SLE when compared to carriers of the C allele and CC genotype, with adjusted ORs of 1.36 (95% CI 1.07-1.74; P = 0.014) and 1.77 (95% CI 1.08-2.88; P = 0.022), respectively. In addition, the risk allele T had a recessive effect (OR 1.49, 95% CI 1.04-2.14, P = 0.029). Subgroup analyses revealed effect modification by age for the presence of the rs1128503 T allele, yielding a significant positive association with SLE in older (≥40 years) subjects (T vs. C allele: OR 1.41, 95% CI 1.01-1.96; P = 0.041; TT vs. CC genotype: OR 1.74, 95% CI 1.07-2.79; P = 0.021). For the first time, we demonstrated that MDR1 rs1128503 polymorphisms were associated with SLE susceptibility in Chinese Guangxi population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Etanercept was highly recommended for patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), as its efficacy has been confirmed in AS, while genetic polymorphisms, by affecting drug metabolism or drug receptor, lead to interindividual variability in drug disposition and efficacy. Therefore, this study aims to investigate whether ABCB1 gene polymorphisms can predict therapeutic response to etanercept in patients with AS. METHODS A total of 185 patients with AS in our hospital were recruited into our study from December 2012 to May 2015. The frequency distributions of genotype and allele of rs2032582, rs1128503, and rs1045642 were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and electrophoresis verification enzyme products method. AS patients received etanercept treatment for 12 weeks, followed by this would be evaluated by the bath AS disease activity index (BASDAI) score improvement and the assessment of spondyloArthritis international society 20/50/70 (ASAS20/50/70) score improvements to explore the relationship between genotype of ABCB1 gene polymorphisms and therapeutic response to etanercept in patients with AS. RESULTS After 12 weeks, the BASDAI score mean improvement value of rs2032582 A/A genotype was 2.87 ± 0.52. The ratios of patients with rs2032582 A/A genotype reaching the BASDAI50 and ASAS20 evaluation criteria were 64.29% and 92.86%, respectively. The results indicated that efficacy of etanercept was promoted in rs2032582 A/A genotype. The BASDAI score mean improvement value of rs1128503 C/C genotype was 2.79 ± 0.54 after 12 weeks. The ratios of patients with rs1128503 C/C genotype reaching the BASDAI50 and ASAS20 evaluation criteria were 66.67% and 93.94%, respectively. The results indicated that efficacy of etanercept was promoted in rs1128503 C/C genotype. However, no significant associations were observed between rs1045642 and therapeutic response to etanercept in AS patients. CONCLUSION ABCB1 gene rs2032582 and rs1128503 polymorphisms may be associated with the efficacy of etanercept in AS patients. ABCB1 gene polymorphisms can act as biological indicators of etanercept efficacy.

Abstract
Sheng-ma-bie-jia-tang (SMBJT) is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) formula that is widely used for the treatment of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) in China. However, molecular mechanism behind this formula remains unknown. Here, we systematically analyzed targets of the ingredients in SMBJT to evaluate its potential molecular mechanism. First, we collected 1,267 targets from our previously published database, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Integrated Database (TCMID). Next, we conducted gene ontology and pathway enrichment analyses for these targets and determined that they were enriched in metabolism (amino acids, fatty acids, etc.) and signaling pathways (chemokines, Toll-like receptors, adipocytokines, etc.). 96 targets, which are known SLE disease proteins, were identified as essential targets and the rest 1,171 targets were defined as common targets of this formula. The essential targets directly interacted with SLE disease proteins. Besides, some common targets also had essential connections to both key targets and SLE disease proteins in enriched signaling pathway, e.g. toll-like receptor signaling pathway. We also found distinct function of essential and common targets in immune system processes. This multi-level approach to deciphering the underlying mechanism of SMBJT treatment of SLE details a new perspective that will further our understanding of TCM formulas.

Abstract
Corticosteroids (CS) are the mainstay of treatment in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients. However, some patients have poor response to CS treatment. Among the multiple mechanisms of CS resistance, overexpression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) on peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) may be one of them as this result in efflux of CS from lymphocytes. Thus, we evaluated the role of P-gp protein on PBLs in patients with SLE in its response to CS therapy. SLE patients (n = 42) (fulfilling ACR revised criteria) who were naïve to CS and immunosuppressive drugs were enrolled. Disease activity was assessed using SLE disease activity index (SLEDAI) and expression, and function of P-gp was evaluated by flow cytometry at baseline and after 3 months of therapy with CS. At 3 months, patients with SLEDAI >4 and SLEDAI ≤4 were grouped as nonresponders and responders, respectively. P-gp expression was significantly increased on PBLs of SLE patients as compared to healthy controls (p < 0.001). P-gp expression and function correlated with SLEDAI (r = 0.49, p = 0.005; and r = 0.49, p = 0.001, respectively). P-gp expression and function were not different in responders and nonresponders at baseline. However, at 3 months of CS therapy, P-gp expression and function decreased in responders (p < 0.001 and p < 0.005, respectively), whereas in nonresponders, it remained unchanged. Persistent overexpression and activity of P-gp are associated with poor response to CS in CS naïve patients of SLE.

Abstract
P-glycoprotein (Pgp) is a transmembrane protein of 170 kD encoded by the multidrug resistance 1 (MDR-1) gene, localized on chromosome 7. More than 50 polymorphisms of the MDR-1 gene have been described; a subset of these has been shown to play a pathophysiological role in the development of inflammatory bowel disease, femoral head osteonecrosis induced by steroids, lung cancer and renal epithelial tumors. Polymorphisms that have a protective effect on the development of conditions such as Parkinson disease have also been identified. P-glycoprotein belongs to the adenosine triphosphate binding cassette transporter superfamily and its structure comprises a chain of approximately 1280 aminoacid residues with an N-C terminal structure, arranged as 2 homologous halves, each of which has 6 transmembrane segments, with a total of 12 segments with 2 cytoplasmic nucleotide binding domains. Many cytokines like interleukin 2 and tumor necrosis factor alpha increase Pgp expression and activity. Pgp functions as an efflux pump for a variety of toxins in order to protect particular organs and tissues as the central nervous system. Pgp transports a variety of substrates including glucocorticoids while other drugs such as tacrolimus and cyclosporine A act as modulators of this protein. The most widely used method to measure Pgp activity is flow cytometry using naturally fluorescent substrates such as anthracyclines or rhodamine 123. The study of drug resistance and its association to Pgp began with the study of resistance to chemotherapy in the treatment of cancer and antiretroviral therapy for human immunodeficiency virus; however, the role of Pgp in the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis has been a focus of study lately and has emerged as an important mechanism by which treatment failure occurs. The present review analyzes the role of Pgp in these autoimmune diseases.

Abstract
Recent pharmacogenomic/pharmacogenetic (PGx) studies have disclosed important roles for drug transporters in the human body. Changes in the functions of drug transporters due to drug/food interactions or genetic polymorphisms, for example, are associated with large changes in pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles of substrate drugs, leading to changes in drug response and side effects. This information is extremely useful not only for drug development but also for individualized treatment. Among drug transporters, the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are expressed in most tissues in humans, and play protective roles; reducing drug absorption from the gastrointestinal tract, enhancing drug elimination into bile and urine, and impeding the entry of drugs into the central nervous system and placenta. In addition to PK/pharmacodynamic (PD) issues, ABC transporters are reported as etiologic and prognostic factors (or biomarkers) for genetic disorders. Although a consensus has not yet been reached, clinical studies have demonstrated that the PGx of ABC transporters influences the overall outcome of pharmacotherapy and contributes to the pathogenesis and progression of certain disorders. This review explains the impact of PGx in ABC transporters in terms of PK/PD, focusing on P-glycoprotein and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP).
