Int Arch Allergy Immunol 2024:1-11. [PMID: 38830344 DOI: 10.1159/000539043] [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: 12/03/2023] [Accepted: 04/19/2024] [Indexed: 06/05/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Ibuprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), is the most frequent medication to be involved in hypersensitivity drug reactions (HDRs). Other analgesic/anti-inflammatory drugs in the arylpropionic group are also relevant, albeit to a lesser extent. Ibuprofen is widely consumed by people of all ages, both on medical prescription and over the counter; moreover, it is an organic contaminant of surface waters and foods. While numerous drugs cause HDR, ibuprofen's underlying mechanisms are more intricate and involve both specific immunological and non-immunological mediated reactions. SUMMARY we concentrate on immediate responses, including urticaria with or without angioedema, anaphylaxis, and angioedema, classifying reactions according to whether they are caused by single or multiple NSAIDs and based on the mechanisms at play. Both groups may experience anaphylaxis, defined as an immediate, severe systemic reaction involving at least two organs, though the frequency and severity can vary. Following this classification, more clinical manifestations can be identified. Diagnosis is partly based on a detailed clinical history, including information about ibuprofen and/or other arylpropionic derivatives involved, the interval between drug intake and symptoms onset, clinical manifestations, number of episodes, and the patient's tolerance or response to other medications - mainly non-chemically related NSAID - both before and after reactions to ibuprofen and/or other arylpropionic drugs. A drug provocation test is frequently necessary to make a diagnosis. KEY MESSAGE Because ibuprofen is the most widely prescribed NSAID, it is reasonable to assume its role as the leading cause of HDR will only become more important.

Abstract
The development of Pharmacogenetics and Pharmacogenomics in Western Europe is highly relevant in the worldwide scenario. Despite the usually low institutional support, many research groups, composed of basic and clinical researchers, have been actively working for decades in this field. Their contributions made an international impact and paved the way for further studies and pharmacogenomics implementation in clinical practice. In this manuscript, that makes part of the Special Issue entitled Spanish Pharmacology, we present an analysis of the state of the art of Pharmacogenetics and Pharmacogenomics research in Europe, we compare it with the developments in Spain, and we summarize the most salient contributions since 1988 to the present, as well as recent developments in the clinical application of pharmacogenomics knowledge. Finally, we present some considerations on how we could improve translation to clinical practice in this specific scenario.

Abstract
COVID-19 increased global mortality in 2019. Cystitis became a contributing factor in SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 complications. The complex molecular links between cystitis and COVID-19 are unclear. This study investigates COVID-19-associated cystitis (CAC) molecular mechanisms and drug candidates using bioinformatics and systems biology. Obtain the gene expression profiles of IC (GSE11783) and COVID-19 (GSE147507) from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Identified the common differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in both IC and COVID-19, and extracted a number of key genes from this group. Subsequently, conduct Gene Ontology (GO) functional enrichment and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis on the DEGs. Additionally, design a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, a transcription factor gene regulatory network, a TF miRNA regulatory network, and a gene disease association network using the DEGs. Identify and extract hub genes from the PPI network. Then construct Nomogram diagnostic prediction models based on the hub genes. The DSigDB database was used to forecast many potential molecular medicines that are associated with common DEGs. Assess the precision of hub genes and Nomogram models in diagnosing IC and COVID-19 by employing Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves. The IC dataset (GSE57560) and the COVID-19 dataset (GSE171110) were selected to validate the models' diagnostic accuracy. A grand total of 198 DEGs that overlapped were found and chosen for further research. FCER1G, ITGAM, LCP2, LILRB2, MNDA, SPI1, and TYROBP were screened as the hub genes. The Nomogram model, built using the seven hub genes, demonstrates significant utility as a diagnostic prediction model for both IC and COVID-19. Multiple potential molecular medicines associated with common DEGs have been discovered. These pathways, hub genes, and models may provide new perspectives for future research into mechanisms and guide personalised and effective therapeutics for IC patients infected with COVID-19.

Abstract
The resistance development of the combination regimen of corticosteroids (CS) with cyclosporin A (CsA) leads to therapeutic failure of some patients with autoimmune diseases. In the male patients with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease, we have identified RPS4Y1 as an important resistance gene of the regimen and a functional mediator of chlorambucil (CLB). However, it remains unclear what is responsible for the resistance in female patients. In the present study, we performed RNA sequencing, tandem mass tag (TMT) proteomics, gain- and loss-of-function assays and rescue assays to screen and validate potential resistant mediators. The results showed that only Fc epsilon receptor Ig (FCER1G) exhibited significantly differential expression in CD4+ T cells among female CsA & CS resistant, sensitive and CLB & CsA & CS treated patients at transcription and protein levels. Inhibition of FCER1G was demonstrated to modulate CD4+ T cell resistance to CsA & CS in female patients. Importantly, the inhibition was mediated by elevated DNA methylation in the promoter region of the FCER1G gene. Moreover, we found that the salvage effect of CLB on CsA & CS resistance was mediated by an increased FCER1G expression via DNA demethylation in female patients. Taken together, the downregulation of FCER1G due to DNA hypermethylation is responsible for the resistance to CsA & CS and CLB reverses this resistance by inducing FCER1G expression via DNA demethylation in female patients. Modulation of FCER1G would be a promising sensitization strategy in female patients with resistance to CsA & CS.

Abstract
We conducted a multi-ancestry genome-wide association study of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels in 296,754 men (211,342 European ancestry; 58,236 African ancestry; 23,546 Hispanic/Latino; 3,630 Asian ancestry; 96.5% of participants were from the Million Veteran Program). We identified 318 independent genome-wide significant (p≤5e-8) variants, 184 of which were novel. Most demonstrated evidence of replication in an independent cohort (n=95,768). Meta-analyzing discovery and replication (n=392,522) identified 447 variants, of which a further 111 were novel. Out-of-sample variance in PSA explained by our new polygenic risk score reached 16.9% (95% CI=16.1%-17.8%) in European ancestry, 9.5% (95% CI=7.0%-12.2%) in African ancestry, 18.6% (95% CI=15.8%-21.4%) in Hispanic/Latino, and 15.3% (95% CI=12.7%-18.1%) in Asian ancestry, and lower for higher age. Our study highlights how including proportionally more participants from underrepresented populations improves genetic prediction of PSA levels, with potential to personalize prostate cancer screening.

Abstract
Allergic diseases such as allergic rhinitis (AR), allergic asthma (AAS), atopic dermatitis (AD), food allergy (FA), and eczema are systemic diseases caused by an impaired immune system. Accompanied by high recurrence rates, the steadily rising incidence rates of these diseases are attracting increasing attention. The pathogenesis of allergic diseases is complex and involves many factors, including maternal-fetal environment, living environment, genetics, epigenetics, and the body's immune status. The pathogenesis of allergic diseases exhibits a marked heterogeneity, with phenotype and endotype defining visible features and associated molecular mechanisms, respectively. With the rapid development of immunology, molecular biology, and biotechnology, many new biological drugs have been designed for the treatment of allergic diseases, including anti-immunoglobulin E (IgE), anti-interleukin (IL)-5, and anti-thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP)/IL-4, to control symptoms. For doctors and scientists, it is becoming more and more important to understand the influencing factors, pathogenesis, and treatment progress of allergic diseases. This review aimed to assess the epidemiology, pathogenesis, and therapeutic interventions of allergic diseases, including AR, AAS, AD, and FA. We hope to help doctors and scientists understand allergic diseases systematically.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and opioids are widely prescribed for the treatment of mild to severe pain. Wide interindividual variability regarding the analgesic efficacy and adverse reactions to these drugs (ADRs) exist, although the mechanisms responsible for these ADRs are not well understood. AREAS COVERED We provide an overview of the clinical impact of variants in genes related to the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of painkillers, as well as those associated with the susceptibility to ADRs. Also, we discuss the current pharmacogenetic-guided treatment recommendations for the therapeutic use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and opioids. EXPERT OPINION In the light of the data analyzed, common variants in genes involved in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics processes may partially explain the lack of response to painkiller treatment and the occurrence of adverse drug reactions. The implementation of high-throughput sequencing technologies may help to unveil the role of rare variants as considerable contributors to explaining the interindividual variability in drug response. Furthermore, a consensus between the diverse pharmacogenetic guidelines is necessary to extend the implementation of pharmacogenetic-guided prescription in daily clinical practice. Additionally, the physiologically-based pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics modeling techniques may contribute to the improvement of these guidelines and facilitate clinicians drug dose adjustment.

Abstract
Acetaminophen (paracetamol) is a widely used drug that causes adverse drug events that are often dose-dependent and related to plasma drug concentrations. Acetaminophen metabolism strongly depends on UGT1A enzymes. We aimed to investigate putative factors influencing acetaminophen pharmacokinetics. We analyzed acetaminophen pharmacokinetics after intravenous administration in 186 individuals, and we determined the effect of sex; body mass index (BMI); previous and concomitant therapy with UGT1A substrates, inhibitors, and inducers; as well as common variations in the genes coding for UGT1A1, UGT1A6, and UGT1A9. We identified sex and UGT1A6 genetic variants as major factors influencing acetaminophen pharmacokinetics, with women showing lower clearance (p < 0.001) and higher area under the plasma drug concentration-time curve (AUC) values than men (p < 0.001). UGT1A6 genetic variants were related to decreased acetaminophen biodisposition. Individuals who were homozygous or double-heterozygous for variant UGT1A6 alleles showed a 22.5% increase in t1/2 values and a 22.8 increase in drug exposure (p < 0.001, and 0.006, respectively) after correction by sex. The effect is related to the UGT1A6*2 and UGT1A6*4 variant alleles, whereas no effect of UGT1A6*3 and UGT1A9*3 alleles, BMI, or drug−drug interaction was identified in this study. We conclude that sex and UGT1A6 variants determine acetaminophen pharmacokinetics, thus providing evidence to eventually developing pharmacogenomics procedures and recommendations for acetaminophen use.

FCER1G positively relates to macrophage infiltration in clear cell renal cell carcinoma and contributes to unfavorable prognosis by regulating tumor immunity. BMC Cancer 2022; 22:140.

Abstract
Background Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are closely related to unfavorable prognosis of patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). However, the important molecules in the interaction between ccRCC and TAMs are unclear. Methods TCGA-KIRC gene expression data of tumor tissues and normal tissues adjacent to tumor were compared to identify differentially expressed genes in ccRCC. TAMs related genes were discovered by analyzing the correlation between these differentially expressed genes and common macrophage biomarkers. Gene set enrichment analysis was performed to predict functions of TAMs related gene. The findings were further validated using RNA sequencing data obtained from the CheckMate 025 study and immunohistochemical analysis of samples from 350 patients with ccRCC. Kaplan–Meier survival curve, Cox regression analysis and Harrell’s concordance index analysis were used to determine the prognostic significance. Results In this study, we applied bioinformatic analysis to explore TAMs related differentially expressed genes in ccRCC and identified 5 genes strongly correlated with all selected macrophage biomarkers: STAC3, LGALS9, TREM2, FCER1G, and PILRA. Among them, FCER1G was abundantly expressed in tumor tissues and showed prognostic importance in patients with ccRCC who received treatment with Nivolumab; however, it did not exhibit prognostic value in those treated with Everolimus. We also discovered that high expression levels of FCER1G are related to T cell suppression. Moreover, combination of FCER1G and macrophage biomarker CD68 can improve the prognostic stratification of patients with ccRCC from TCGA-KIRC. Based on the immunohistochemical analysis of samples from patients with ccRCC, we further validated that FCER1G and CD68 are both highly expressed in tumor tissue and correlate with each other. Higher expression of CD68 or FCER1G in ccRCC tissue indicates shorter overall survival and progression-free survival; patients with high expression of both CD68 and FCER1G have the worst outcome. Combining CD68 and FCER1G facilitates the screening of patients with a worse prognosis from the same TNM stage group. Conclusions High expression of FCER1G in ccRCC is closely related to TAMs infiltration and suppression of T cell activation and proliferation. Combining the expression levels of FCER1G and macrophage biomarker CD68 may be a promising postoperative prognostic index for patients with ccRCC.

Abstract
Allergy can cause intestinal damage, including through cell apoptosis. In this study, intestinal cell apoptosis was first observed in the β-conglycinin (β-CG) allergy model, and the effect of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) on reducing apoptosis of cells in the intestine and its underlying mechanisms were further investigated. Allergic mice received oral LGG daily, and intestinal tissue apoptotic cells, gut microbiota, and metabolites were evaluated six and nine days after intervention. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) analysis revealed that LGG intervention could reduce the incidence of cell apoptosis more effectively than natural recovery (NR). The results of 16S rRNA analysis indicated that LGG intervention led to an increase in the relative abundance of Bacteroides. Metabolite analysis of intestinal contents indicated that histamine, N-acetylhistamine, N(α)-γ-glutamylhistamine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, arachidonic acid malate, and xanthine were significantly decreased, and deoxycholic acid, lithocholic acid were significantly increased after the LGG intervention on β-CG allergy; the decreases in histamine and N(α)-γ-glutamylhistamine were significant compared with those of NR. In conclusion, LGG reduces apoptosis of cells induced by β-CG allergy, which may be related to regulation of Bacteroides and the bile secretion pathway.

Dangi A, Natesh NR, Husain I, Ji Z, Barisoni L, Kwun J, Shen X, Thorp EB, Luo X. Single cell transcriptomics of mouse kidney transplants reveals a myeloid cell pathway for transplant rejection. JCI Insight 2020; 5:141321. [PMID: 32970632 PMCID: PMC7605544 DOI: 10.1172/jci.insight.141321] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2020] [Accepted: 09/17/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Myeloid cells are increasingly recognized as major players in transplant rejection. Here, we used a murine kidney transplantation model and single cell transcriptomics to dissect the contribution of myeloid cell subsets and their potential signaling pathways to kidney transplant rejection. Using a variety of bioinformatic techniques, including machine learning, we demonstrate that kidney allograft–infiltrating myeloid cells followed a trajectory of differentiation from monocytes to proinflammatory macrophages, and they exhibited distinct interactions with kidney allograft parenchymal cells. While this process correlated with a unique pattern of myeloid cell transcripts, a top gene identified was Axl, a member of the receptor tyrosine kinase family Tyro3/Axl/Mertk (TAM). Using kidney transplant recipients with Axl gene deficiency, we further demonstrate that Axl augmented intragraft differentiation of proinflammatory macrophages, likely via its effect on the transcription factor Cebpb. This, in turn, promoted intragraft recruitment, differentiation, and proliferation of donor-specific T cells, and it enhanced early allograft inflammation evidenced by histology. We conclude that myeloid cell Axl expression identified by single cell transcriptomics of kidney allografts in our study plays a major role in promoting intragraft myeloid cell and T cell differentiation, and it presents a potentially novel therapeutic target for controlling kidney allograft rejection and improving kidney allograft survival. In a murine model of allogeneic kidney transplantation, single-cell transcriptomics identifies that myeloid cell Axl expression promotes allograft rejection by inducing inflammatory macrophage differentiation.

Application of antidepressants in depression: A systematic review and meta-analysis. J Clin Neurosci 2020; 80:169-181. [PMID: 33099342 DOI: 10.1016/j.jocn.2020.08.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2020] [Accepted: 08/09/2020] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The type and quantities of antidepressants are increasing, but the efficacy and safety of first-line and emerging drugs vary between studies. In this article, we estimated the efficacy and safety of first-line and emerging antidepressants (anti-inflammatory drugs and ketamine). METHOD ystematic search of EMBASE, ERIC, MEDLINE, psycARTICLES, and psycINFO without language restriction for studies on the depression, depressive symptoms, antidepressants, fluoxetine (Prozac), paroxetine, escitalopram, sertraline, fluvoxamine, venlafaxine, duloxetine, NSAIDs, anti-cytokine drugs or pioglitazone published before May 1st, 2019. Information on study characteristics, depression or depressive symptoms, antidepressants and the descriptive statistics (including efficacy and safety of antidepressants) was extracted independently by 2 investigators. Estimates were pooled using random-effects meta-analysis. Differences by study-level characteristics were estimated using stratified meta-analysis and meta-regression. The response and remission of antidepressants were used as clinical evaluation indicators, and the evaluation criteria were clinical depression scales. OR value of antidepressants as assessed by meta-analysis. RESULTS The literature search retrieved 5529 potentially relevant articles of which 49 studies were finally included. We compared the efficacy of antidepressants (seven first-line antidepressants (fluoxetine, paroxetine, escitalopram, sertraline, fluvoxamine, venlafaxine, duloxetine), there kinds of anti-inflammatory drugs(NASIDs, cytokine-inhibitor, pioglitazone) and ketamine) by comparing the OR values. CONCLUSION The three drugs with the highest OR value in response were NASID (OR = 3.62(1.58, 8.32)), venlafaxin (OR = 3.50(1.83, 6.70)) and ketamine (OR = 3.28(1.89, 5.68)), while the highest OR value in remission were NASID (OR = 3.17(1.60, 6.29)), ketamine (OR = 2.99(1.58, 5.67)) and venlafaxin (OR = 2.55(1.72, 3.78)). Through reading the literature, we found 69 SNPs associated with depression. Major depression was a debilitating disorder that could ultimately lead to enormous societal and economical challenge [1]. The number of person which affected by depression was up to 16% of the population worldwide. More than 300 million individuals were estimated to suffer depression these days [1,2]. Therefore, it is apparent that safety and effective treatments for depression are necessary. In the 1930 s, the first drug for schizophrenia was discovered. This finding was a landmark for the emerging of biological psychiatry. In the 1950 s, pharmacologists had stumbled upon the antidepressant effect of imipramine. Since then, every 30 years, the use of antidepressants had made a pulsatile leap. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are the most widely-prescribed psychiatric drugs for the treatment of depression. However, the efficacy was variable and incomplete: 60%-70% of the patients do not experience remission, while 30%-40% do not show a significant response [3,4]. Nevertheless, SSRIs, SNRIs (selective serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, which can block norepinephrine at the same time) and NaSSAs (norepinephrine and selective serotonin receptor agonist), constituted the first-line clinical drugs. Nearly 30 years after the outbreak of SSRIs, antidepressants have ushered in a new chapter. It has been found that anti-inflammatory drugs could also have the small and moderate antidepressant effect and it's widely discussed [5]. More than 40 anti-inflammatory drugs have been certificated to have antidepressant effects in preclinical and clinical studies [6]. The antidepressant that has been approved for use recently is ketamine. There is no comprehensive comparison of the efficacy of all these drugs. In this review, we tried to estimate the efficacy and safety of first-line antidepressants, anti-inflammatory drugs and ketamine. On the other hand, with the development of GWAS, SNPs related to depression have been reported, and the corresponding mechanisms have been elaborated, respectively. However, patients with these SNPs have not been treated with individualized drugs according to the mechanisms. We hope to push this process forward through the summary of this article.

Abstract
Introduction: Several reports suggest a possible association between polymorphisms in the cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) gene and the risk for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-related adverse gastrointestinal events, including gastrointestinal bleeding. Because findings were controversial, a systematic review and a meta-analysis of eligible studies on this putative association was conducted.Areas covered: The authors have revised the relationship between CYP2C9 polymorphisms and the risk of developing NSAID-related gastrointestinal bleeding, as well as other adverse gastrointestinal events, and performed meta-analyzes. The bias effect and potential sources of heterogeneity between studies was analyzed.Expert opinion: Individuals classified as poor metabolizers after CYP2C9 genotyping (activity scores equal to 0 or 0.5) have an increased risk of developing NSAID-related gastrointestinal adverse events with an odds ratio (OR) = 1.86, (p = 0.004) and the OR for subjects with gastrointestinal bleeding is = 1.90, (p = 0.003). Gene-dose effect for variant CYP2C9 alleles (p = 0.005 for all gastrointestinal adverse events, and p = 0.0001 for bleeding patients) was observed. Also, there is an allele-specific effect in the association: CYP2C9*2 is a poor risk predictor, whereas CYP2C9*3 is a highly significant predictor of gastrointestinal adverse events (p = 0.006) and gastrointestinal bleeding (p = 0.0007).

GATA2 and PU.1 Collaborate To Activate the Expression of the Mouse Ms4a2 Gene, Encoding FcεRIβ, through Distinct Mechanisms. Mol Cell Biol 2019; 39:MCB.00314-19.

Abstract
GATA factors GATA1 and GATA2 and ETS factor PU.1 are known to function antagonistically during hematopoietic development. In mouse mast cells, however, these factors are coexpressed and activate the expression of the Ms4a2 gene encoding the β chain of the high-affinity IgE receptor (FcεRI). The present study showed that these factors cooperatively regulate Ms4a2 gene expression through distinct mechanisms. Although GATA2 and PU.1 contributed almost equally to Ms4a2 gene expression, gene ablation experiments revealed that simultaneous knockdown of both factors showed neither a synergistic nor an additive effect. A chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis showed that they shared DNA binding to the +10.4-kbp region downstream of the Ms4a2 gene with chromatin looping factor LDB1, whereas the proximal -60-bp region was exclusively bound by GATA2 in a mast cell-specific manner. Ablation of PU.1 significantly reduced the level of GATA2 binding to both the +10.4-kbp and -60-bp regions. Surprisingly, the deletion of the +10.4-kbp region by genome editing completely abolished the Ms4a2 gene expression as well as the cell surface expression of FcεRI. These results suggest that PU.1 and LDB1 play central roles in the formation of active chromatin structure whereas GATA2 directly activates the Ms4a2 promoter.

Abstract
The prevalence of allergic diseases and drug hypersensitivity reactions (DHRs) during recent years is increasing. Both, allergic diseases and DHRs seem to be related to an interplay between environmental factors and genetic susceptibility. In recent years, a large effort in the elucidation of the genetic mechanisms involved in these disorders has been made, mostly based on case-control studies, and typically focusing on isolated SNPs. These studies provide a limited amount of information, which now can be greatly expanded by the complete coverage that Next Generation Sequencing techniques offer. In this study, we analyzed the promoters of sixteen genes related to the Vitamin D pathway and the high-affinity IgE receptor, including FCER1A, MS4A2, FCER1G, VDR, GC, CYP2R1, CYP27A1, CYP27B1, CYP24A1, RXRA, RXRB, RXRG, IL4, IL4R, IL13, and IL13RA1. The study group was composed of patients with allergic rhinitis plus asthma (AR+A), patients with hypersensitivity to beta-lactams (BLs), to NSAIDs including selective hypersensitivity (SH) and cross-reactivity (CR), and healthy controls without antecedents of atopy or adverse drug reactions. We identified 148 gene variations, 43 of which were novel. Multinomial analyses revealed that three SNPs corresponding to the genes FCER1G (rs36233990 and rs2070901), and GC (rs3733359), displayed significant associations and, therefore, were selected for a combined dataset study in a cohort of 2,476 individuals. The strongest association was found with the promoter FCER1G rs36233990 SNP that alters a transcription factor binding site. This SNP was over-represented among AR+A patients and among patients with IgE-mediated diseases, as compared with control individuals or with the rest of patients in this study. Classification models based on the above-mentioned SNPs were able to predict correct clinical group allocations in patients with DHRs, and patients with IgE-mediated DHRs. Our findings reveal gene promoter SNPs that are significant predictors of drug hypersensitivity, thus reinforcing the hypothesis of a genetic predisposition for these diseases.

Abstract
Anaphylatoxin C3a and adenosine receptors (AR) are implicated in the inflammatory process associated with allergic rhinitis and asthma by modifying mast cell (MC) responses. Possible interactions between these G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) pathways in MCs have not yet been demonstrated. LAD2 human MC were stimulated with C3a in the presence or absence of AR agonists and antagonists and their adhesion, chemotaxis and mediator release were measured. The pan-specific AR agonist, 5'-N-Ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (NECA) inhibited C3a-induced LAD2 cell migration, adhesion, degranulation, production of CCL2, and ERK1/2 phosphorylation. The selective A2A receptor agonist CGS 21680 inhibited C3a-mediated degranulation, while the A2B and A3 receptor agonists BAY 60-6583 and IB-MECA, respectively, had no effect. Moreover, an A2A receptor antagonist SCH 58261 blocked the inhibitory effect of NECA on C3a-induced degranulation, suggesting that inhibition of degranulation was mediated through the A2A receptor. NECA increased intracellular cAMP in C3a-activated mast cells, suggesting that Gαs protein signals are required for adenosine-induced inhibition of C3a-mediated human mast cell activation. The adenylyl cyclase inhibitor SQ 22536 attenuated the inhibitory effect of NECA on C3a-activated degranulation, and the A2A agonist CSG 21680 potentiated the inhibition of mast cell activation mediated by the A2A receptor. Our results suggest that adenosine inhibits C3a-mediated activation of human mast cells, possibly through a Gαs protein-dependent pathway.

Abstract
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are the medications most frequently involved in hypersensitivity reactions to drugs. These can be induced by specific immunological and nonimmunological mechanisms, being the latter the most frequent. The nonimmunological mechanism is related to an imbalance of inflammatory mediators, which is aggravated by the cyclooxygenase inhibition. Genetic studies suggest that multiples genes and additional mechanisms might be involved. The proposals of this review is summarize the contribution of variations in genes involved in the arachidonic acid, inflammatory and immune pathways as well as the recent genome-wide association studies findings related to cross-intolerant nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs hypersensitivity reactions. In addition, using integration of different genetic studies, we propose new target genes. This will help to understand the underlying mechanism of these reactions.
