Abstract
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most commonly diagnosed in men worldwide and one of the most frequent cancers in men in Africa. The heterogeneity of this cancer fosters the need to identify potential genetic risk factors/biomarkers. Omics variations may significantly contribute to early diagnosis and personalized treatment. However, there are few genomic studies of this disease in African populations. This review sheds light on the status of genomics research on PCa in Africa and outlines the common variants identified thus far. The allele frequencies of the most significant SNPs in Afro-native, Afro-descendants, and European populations were compared. We advocate how these few but promising data will aid in understanding, better diagnosing, and precisely treating this cancer and the need for further collaborative research on the genomics of PCa in the African continent.

Functional evaluation of vandetanib metabolism by CYP3A4 variants and potential drug interactions in vitro. Chem Biol Interact 2021; 350:109700. [PMID: 34648813 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbi.2021.109700] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2021] [Revised: 09/30/2021] [Accepted: 10/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
AIM To investigate the enzymatic properties of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) variants and their ability to metabolize vandetanib (VNT) in vitro, and to study potential drug interactions in combination with VNT. METHOD Recombinant CYP3A4 cell microsomes were prepared using a Bac-to-Bac baculovirus expression system. Enzymatic reactions were carried out, and the metabolites were determined by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). RESULTS The activities of 27 CYP3A4 variants were determined to assess the degree of VNT metabolism that occurred. Analysis indicated that there was enhanced intrinsic clearance (Vmax/Km, CLint) for eight variants (CYP3A4.2, 3, 9, 15, 16, 29, 32, and 33), while there was a significant decrease in CYP3A4.5, 7, 8, 10-14, 17-20, 23, 24, 28, 31, and 34. Compared with CYP3A4.1, no significant differences were found for CYP3A4.6 and 30. Furthermore, the relative clearances were compared between VNT and cabozantinib, which were all metabolized by CYP3A4 with the same indications. When combined with ketoconazole, which is a CYP inhibitor, obvious differences were observed in the potency of VNT between different variants, including CYP3A4.2, 15, and 18. CONCLUSION This comprehensive assessment of CYP3A4 variants provides significant insights into the allele-specific metabolism of VNT and drug interactions in vitro. We hope that these comprehensive data will provide references and predictions for the clinical application of VNT.

Distribution of alleles, genotypes and haplotypes of the CYP2B6 (rs3745274; rs2279343) and CYP3A4 (rs2740574) genes in the Malian population: Implication for pharmacogenetics. Medicine (Baltimore) 2021; 100:e26614. [PMID: 34398016 PMCID: PMC8294905 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000026614] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2020] [Accepted: 06/22/2021] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Cytochrome P450 enzymes play a central role in the phase I biotransformation process of a wide range of compounds, including xenobiotics, drugs, hormones and vitamins. It is noteworthy that these enzymes are highly polymorphic and, depending on the genetic makeup, an individual may have impaired enzymatic activity. Therefore, the identification of genetic variants in these genes could facilitate the implementation of pharmacogenetic studies and genetic predisposition to multifactorial diseases. We have established the frequencies of CYP2B6 (rs3745274; rs2279343) and CYP3A4 (rs2740574) alleles and genotypes in 209 healthy Malian subjects using TaqMan drug metabolism genotyping assays for allelic discrimination. Allele frequencies were 37% for CYP2B6 rs3745274; 38% for CYP2B6 rs2279343; and 75% for CYP3A4 rs2740574 respectively. Overall, the frequencies observed in Mali are statistically comparable to those reported across Africa except North Africa. The major haplotypes in CYP2B6 rs3745274 and CYP2B6 rs2279343 were represented by GA (60.24%) followed by TG (35.36%). We noted a strong linkage disequilibrium between CYP2B6 rs3745274 and CYP2B6 rs2279343 with D' = 0.91 and r2 = 0.9. The frequencies of the genotypic combinations were 43.5% (GT/AG), 37.3% (GG/AA) and 11.5% (TT/GG) in the combination of CYP2B6-rs3745274 and CYP2B6-rs2279343; 26.8% (GT/CC), 25.4%, (GT/CT), 17.2% and GG/CT in the combination CYP2B6-rs3745274-CYP3A4-rs2740574; 26.8% (AG/CC), 23.9% (AA/CC), 19.1% (AG/CT), and 11% (AA/CT) in the combination CYP2B6-rs2279343-CYP3A4-rs2740574, respectively. The most common triple genotype was GT/AG/CC with 24.9%, followed by GG/AA/CC with 23.9%, GT/AG/CT with 16.7%, and GG/AA/CT with 10%. Our results provide new insights into the distribution of these pharmacogenetically relevant genes in the Malian population. Moreover, these data will be useful for studies of individual genetic variability to drugs and genetic predisposition to diseases.

Rotimi SO, Rotimi OA, Salhia B. A Review of Cancer Genetics and Genomics Studies in Africa. Front Oncol 2021; 10:606400.

Abstract
Cancer is the second leading cause of death globally and is projected to overtake infectious disease as the leading cause of mortality in Africa within the next two decades. Cancer is a group of genomic diseases that presents with intra- and inter-population unique phenotypes, with Black populations having the burden of morbidity and mortality for most types. At large, the prevention and treatment of cancers have been propelled by the understanding of the genetic make-up of the disease of mostly non-African populations. By the same token, there is a wide knowledge gap in understanding the underlying genetic causes of, and genomic alterations associated with, cancer among black Africans. Accordingly, we performed a review of the literature to survey existing studies on cancer genetics/genomics and curated findings pertaining to publications across multiple cancer types conducted on African populations. We used PubMed MeSH terms to retrieve the relevant publications from 1990 to December 2019. The metadata of these publications were extracted using R text mining packages: RISmed and Pubmed.mineR. The data showed that only 0.329% of cancer publications globally were on Africa, and only 0.016% were on cancer genetics/genomics from Africa. Although the most prevalent cancers in Africa are cancers of the breast, cervix, uterus, and prostate, publications representing breast, colorectal, liver, and blood cancers were the most frequent in our review. The most frequently reported cancer genes were BRCA1, BRCA2, and TP53. Next, the genes reported in the reviewed publications’ abstracts were extracted and annotated into three gene ontology classes. Genes in the cellular component class were mostly associated with cell part and organelle part, while those in biological process and molecular function classes were mainly associated with cell process, biological regulation, and binding, and catalytic activity, respectively. Overall, this review highlights the paucity of research on cancer genomics on African populations, identified gaps, and discussed the need for concerted efforts to encourage more research on cancer genomics in Africa.

CYP3A5 Gene-Guided Tacrolimus Treatment of Living-Donor Egyptian Kidney Transplanted Patients. Front Pharmacol 2020; 11:1218. [PMID: 32848803 PMCID: PMC7431691 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2020.01218] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2020] [Accepted: 07/27/2020] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Tacrolimus is an approved first-line immunosuppressive agent for kidney transplantations. Part of interindividual and interethnic differences in the response of patients to tacrolimus is attributed to polymorphisms at CYP3A5 metabolic enzyme. CYP3A5 gene expression status is associated with tacrolimus dose requirement in renal transplant recipients. Materials and Methods In this study, we determined the allelic frequency of CYP3A5*3 in 76 renal transplanted patients of Egyptian descent. Secondly, we evaluated the influence of the CYP3A5 gene variant on tacrolimus doses required for these patients as well on dose-adjusted tacrolimus trough-concentrations. Results The CYP3A5*3 variant was the most frequent allele detected at 85.53%. Additionally, our results showed that, mean tacrolimus daily requirements for heterozygous patients (CYP3A5*1/*3) were significantly higher compared to homozygous patients (CYP3A5*3/*3) during the first year after kidney transplantation. Conclusion This is the first study in Egypt contributing to the individualization of tacrolimus dosing in Egyptian patients, informed by the CYP3A5 genotype.

Abstract
Objective The activities of four cytochrome P3A (CYP3A) subfamily members (CYP3A4, CYP3A5, CYP3A7, and CYP3A43) are well documented in drug metabolism. However, the association between CYP3A subfamily members and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear. This study investigated the prognostic value of CYP3A subfamily mRNA expression levels with HCC prognosis. Materials and methods Data from a total of 360 HCC patients were retrieved from The Cancer Genome Atlas database, and data from 231 HCC patients were retrieved from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Kaplan–Meier analysis and Cox regression models were utilized to determine median survival, overall survival, and recurrence-free survival. Hazard ratios and 95% CI were calculated. Results Low expression of CYP3A4, CYP3A5, and CYP3A43 in the tumor tissue was associated with short median survival (crude p=0.004, 0.001, and 0.001; adjusted p=0.022, 0.005, and 0.013, respectively). Joint-effects combination analysis of CYP3A4, CYP3A5/CYP3A4, CYP3A43/CYP3A5, and CYP3A43 revealed that high expression groups of two genes (group C, group c, group 3) were associated with a reduced risk of death, as compared to low expression of two genes (group A, group a, group 1), and the adjusted p values were 0.001, 0.004, and 0.001, respectively. Joint-effects analysis of CYP3A4, CYP3A5, and CYP3A43 showed that groups III and IV had a reduced risk of death, as compared to group I (adjusted p=0.024 and 0.002, respectively). Conclusion CYP3A4, CYP3A5, and CYP3A43 mRNA expression levels are potential prognostic markers of HCC.
