[Genetic factors in degenerative disc disease]. / Rol' geneticheskikh faktorov v razvitii degenerativno-distroficheskogo porazheniya mezhpozvonkovykh diskov.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze available literature data on the role of genetic factors in degenerative disc disease. METHODOLOGY: We reviewed the PubMed, MEDLINE, Cohrane Library, e-Library databases using the following keywords: degenerative spine lesions, intervertebral disc herniation, pathogenesis, genetic regulation. RESULTS: Searching depth was 2002-2022. We reviewed 84 references. Exclusion criteria: duplicate publications, reviews without detailed description of results, opinions. Finally, we included 43 the most significant studies. CONCLUSION: There are literature data on proinflammatory cytokines, growth factors and osteodestructive processes in pathogenesis of degenerative disc disease. However, there is only fragmentary information about the role of genetic regulation of these processes. Some factors, such as microRNA, TGF-b, VEGF, MMP are still poorly understood.

[Analysis of carrying clinically significant allelic variants of TPMT and DPYD genes associated with the response to drug therapy in cancer practice among 9 ethnic groups of the Russian Federation].

AIM: To study the peculiarities of carrying clinically significant allelic variants of TPMT and DPYD genes associated with the response to drug therapy in cancer practice among 9 ethnic groups of the Russian Federation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included 1446 conditionally healthy volunteers from 9 ethnic groups. Carriage of polymorphic TPMT and DPYD gene markers was detected by the Real-Time PCR (polymerase chain reaction) method. RESULTS: In all ethnic groups, the distribution of genotypes and alleles matched the equilibrium of Hardy-Weinberg. TPMT*3A (rs1800460) and TPMT*3C (rs1142345) were observed in heterozygous state in all investigated ethnic groups. In the Kabardinian group (n=204) the frequency of the TPMT*3A minor allele (MAF, %) was 2.94%; Balkars (n=200) 1.25%; Ossetians (n=239) 1.67%; Chuvashes (n=238) 1.89%: Mari (n=206) 1.21%; Tatars (n=141) 1.77%; Russians (n=134) 4.85%. The frequency of the TPMT*3C minor allele (MAF, %) in the Kabardinian group (n=204) MAF was 4.90%; Balkars (n=200) 1. 75%; Buryats (n=114) 0.44%; Ossetians (n=239) 1.88%; Chuvashes (n=238) 1.68%: Mari (n=206) 1.21%; Tatars (n=141) 1.42%; Russians (n=134) 4.48%. The results of the analysis of DPYD*2A polymorphism (rs3918290) demonstrated ethnic peculiarities of distribution. In the heterozygous state it was found only in the groups of Kabardins (n=204, MAF 1.22%), Balkars (n=200, MAF 2.00%), and Ossetians (n=239, MAF 0.63%). CONCLUSION: The results obtained in the study will be useful for developing personalized algorithms of antitumor therapy in cancer practice, including those aimed at increasing the safety of chemotherapy.

CYP2C19*17 May Increase the Risk of Death Among Patients with an Acute Coronary Syndrome and Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation Who Receive Clopidogrel and Rivaroxaban.

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study is to assess the influence of gene CYP2C19, CYP3A4, CYP3A5 and ABCB1 polymorphisms on clopidogrel antiplatelet activity, rivaroxaban concentration equilibrium, and clinical outcomes among patients with acute coronary syndrome and non-valvular atrial fibrillation. METHODS: In the multicenter prospective registry study of the efficacy and safety of a combined antithrombotic therapy 103 patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation both undergoing or not a percutaneous coronary intervention were enrolled. The trial assessed the primary outcomes (major bleeding, in-hospital death, cardiovascular death, stroke\transient ischaemic attack, death/renal insufficiency) and secondary outcomes (platelet reactivity units (PRU), rivaroxaban concentration). RESULTS: For none of the clinical outcomes when combined with other covariates, the carriership of polymorphisms CYP3A5*3 rs776746, CYP2C19*2 rs4244285;*17 rs12248560, ABCB1 3435 C>T, ABCB1 rs4148738 was significant. None of the markers under study (CYP3A5*3 rs776746, CYP2C19*2 rs4244285, *17 rs12248560, ABCB1 3435 C>T, ABCB1 rs4148738) has proven to affect rivaroxaban equilibrium concentration in blood plasma among patients with atrial fibrillation and acute coronary syndrome. CONCLUSION: In situations of double or triple antithrombotic rivaroxaban and clopidogrel therapy among patients with atrial fibrillation and acute coronary syndrome, the genetic factors associated with bleeding complications risk (CYP2C19*17) may prove to be clinically relevant.

[Genetic and non-genetic factors of laboratory resistance to clopidogrel in patients with ischemic stroke]. / Geneticheskie i negeneticheskie faktory laboratornoi rezistentnosti k klopidogrelu u bol'nykh s ishemicheskim insul'tom.

To identify clinical and pharmacogenetic predictors of the efficacy of clopidogrel in patients with AI based on CYP2C19 and ABCB1 genotyping. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Clinical and laboratory examinations were performed in 121 patients with AI, and CYP2C19 polymorphisms (CYP2C19*2 (G681A, rs4244285), CYP2C19*3 (G363A, rs4986893), CYP2C19*17 (C806T, rs12248560), ABCB1 (C3435T, rs1045642), associated with a disturbance of antiplatelet action of clopidogrel. The carriage of polymorphic markers of the studied genes was determined by the method of polymerase chain reaction in real time. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: In the group with laboratory resistance to clopidogrel, women prevailed (p<0.0001), atherothrombotic subtype was 80% (p=0.0384), the frequency of obesity ischemic stroke was 60% (p<0.0001). Univariate analysis of variance of CYP2C19 polymorphisms CYP2C19 (CYP2C19*2 (G681A, rs4244285), CYP2C19*3 (G363A, rs4986893), CYP2C19*17 (C806T, rs12248560), ABCB1 (C3435T, rs1045642) in patients with ischemic stroke, demonstrated a significant effect of CYP2C19 genotypes on the indicators of residual reactivity of platelets.

Genotyping and phenotyping CYP3A4\CYP3A5: no association with antiplatelet effect of clopidogrel.

The objective of this study was to determine the impact of polymorphism of CYP3A subfamily isoenzymes (allelic variants of CYP3A4*22 and CYP3A5*3) on the efficacy clopidogrel in patients with an acute coronary syndrome (ACS), who have undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Platelet activity was determined on a VerifyNow P2Y12 test system in 81 patients with ACS aged 37-91 who had PCI. The activity of CYP3A4/5 was expressed as the ratio of the concentrations of cortisol and 6ß-hydroxycortisol was performed by using high performance liquid chromatography. Genotyping was performed by using real-time polymerase real-time chain reaction. The frequencies for the CYP3A5 gene, rs 776746, were identified as follows: 77 (95.1%)-CC, 4 (4.9%)-CT; the allele frequencies by loci for the CYP3A4, rs rs35599367, were as follows: 78 (96.3%)-GG, 3 (3.7%)-AG. There was no statistically significant genotype-dependent difference between the presence of a minor T and G alleles and the presence of clopidogrel resistance (OR 3.53; 95% CI 0.46-26.94; p = 0.233 and p = 0.443, respectively). The average level of the metabolic relationship (6ß-hydroxycortisol/cortisol) between the clopidogrel-resistant group and the normal platelet reactivity group was not statistically significantly different: 3.3 ± 2.8 versus 3.2 ± 3.2; p = 0.947. So, the activity of CYP3A4/5 was not related to platelet aggregation rates in this model. Genotyping and phenotyping CYP3A4\CYP3A5 does not predict the antiplatelet effect of clopidogrel. More extensive research is required to establish their clinical relevance.

[Comparative clinical and economic evaluation of pharmacogenetic testing application for dabigatran in patients with atrial fibrillation].

AIM: To evaluate the clinical and economic feasibility of pharmacogenetic testing (PGT) for dabigataran etexilate administration in the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) without valve in comparison with tactics without pharmacogenetic testing. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The pharmacoeconomic model was done using generalized data from published clinical, epidemiological and clinical - economic studies. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Application of PGT on the carrier of allelic variant rs2244613 of CES1 gene for adjustment of dabigatrane etexilate dosage in patients with non - valve AF may be more cost - effective strategy for prevention of thromboembolic complications in patients with non - valve AF. Thus, due to the decrease in the number of undesirable drug reactions in the form of minor and major bleedings, the difference in treatment costs in the group with PGT compared to the group with standard pharmacotherapy tactics per 100 patients was 11 827.65 rubles. The expected cost per patient per year for standard treatment was 36 051.35 rubles, while in the group with PGT it was 35 933.07 rubles. The difference was 1182.76 rubles in favor of the pharmacogenetic approach Conclusion. A PGT approach to correct dabigatrane dosage can reduce the cost of pharmacotherapy by reducing the risk of adverse reactions of minor and major bleeding.

[Micro-RNA as a new biomarker of activity of the cytochrome system P-450: significance for predicting the antiplatelet action of P2Y12 receptor inhibitors].

MicroRNAs are short non - coding RNAs that correlate with the levels of platelet activation which can be utilized as a biomarker when guiding P2Y12 inhibitors therapy. In this literature review, the perspectives of microRNA as a novel biomarker are discussed when guiding P2Y12 inhibitors therapy among the patients with coronary artery disease.
