RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Radiotherapy (RT) is the standard treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). However, due to individual differences in radiosensitivity, biomarkers are needed to tailored radiotherapy to cancer patients. However, comprehensive genome-wide radiogenomic studies on them are still lacking. The aim of this study was to identify genetic variants associated with radiotherapy response in patients with NPC. METHODS: This was a large­scale genome-wide association analysis (GWAS) including a total of 981 patients. 319 individuals in the discovery stage were genotyped for 688,783 SNPs using whole genome-wide screening microarray. Significant loci were further genotyped using MassARRAY system and TaqMan SNP assays in the validation stages of 847 patients. This study used logistic regression analysis and multiple bioinformatics tools such as PLINK, LocusZoom, LDBlockShow, GTEx, Pancan-meQTL and FUMA to examine genetic variants associated with radiotherapy efficacy in NPC. RESULTS: After genome-wide level analysis, 19 SNPs entered the validation stage (P < 1 × 10- 6), and rs11130424 ultimately showed statistical significance among these SNPs. The efficacy was better in minor allele carriers of rs11130424 than in major allele carriers. Further stratified analysis showed that the association existed in patients in the EBV-positive, smoking, and late-stage (III and IV) subgroups and in patients who underwent both concurrent chemoradiotherapy and induction/adjuvant chemotherapy. CONCLUSION: Our study showed that rs11130424 in the CACNA2D3 gene was associated with sensitivity to radiotherapy in NPC patients.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Genetic variants associated with acute side effects of radiotherapy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) remain largely unknown. METHODS: We performed a two-stage genome-wide association analysis including a total of 1084 patients, where 319 individuals in the discovery stage were genotyped for 688,783 SNPs using whole genome-wide screening microarray. Significant variants were then validated in an independent cohort of 765 patients using the MassARRAY system. Gene mapping, linkage disequilibrium, genome-wide association analysis, and polygenic risk score were conducted or calculated using FUMA, LDBlockShow, PLINK, and PRSice software programs, respectively. RESULTS: Five SNPs (rs6711678, rs4848597, rs4848598, rs2091255, and rs584547) showed statistical significance after validation. Radiotherapy toxicity was more serious in mutant minor allele carriers of all five SNPs. Stratified analysis further indicated that rs6711678, rs4848597, rs4848598, and rs2091255 correlated with skin toxicity in patients of EBV positive, late stage (III and IV), receiving both concurrent chemoradiotherapy and induction/adjuvant chemotherapy, and with OR values ranging from 1.92 to 2.66. For rs584547, high occurrence of dysphagia was found in A allele carriers in both the discovery (P = 1.27 × 10- 6, OR = 1.55) and validation (P = 0.002, OR = 4.20) cohorts. Furthermore, prediction models integrating both genetic and clinical factors for skin reaction and dysphagia were established. The area under curve (AUC) value of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were 0.657 (skin reaction) and 0.788 (dysphagia). CONCLUSIONS: Rs6711678, rs4848597, rs4848598, and rs2091255 on chromosome 2q14.2 and rs584547 were found to be novel risk loci for skin toxicity and dysphagia in NPC patients receiving radiotherapy. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Chinese Clinical Trial Register (registration number: ChiCTR-OPC-14005257 and CTXY-140007-2).

RESUMO

The cellular internal ribosomal entry site (IRES) is one of the most important elements to mediate cap-independent translational initiation, especially under conditions of stress and pathology. However, a high-throughput method to discover IRESs in these conditions is still lacking. Here, a possible way IRES long-read sequencing based on the latest high-throughput technologies is proposed to solve this problem. Based on this design, diversity and integrity of the transcriptome from original samples can be kept. The micro-environment that stimulates or inhibits IRES activity can also be mimicked. By using long read-length sequencing technology, additional experiments that are essential for ruling out the cryptic promoters or splicing events in routine IRES identification processes can be circumvented. It is hoped that this proposed methodology may be adopted for IRES element discovery, hence uncovering the full extent of the role of IRESs in disease, development, and stress.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: COVID-19 is an extremely severe infectious disease. However, few studies have focused on the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of pediatric COVID-19. This study conducted a retrospective review of the epidemiological and clinical features of COVID-19 in children. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted on children with a definite diagnosis of COVID-19 in mainland China using the web crawler technique to collect anonymous COVID-19 updates published by local health authorities. RESULTS: Three hundred forty-one children aged 4 days to 14 years with a median age of 7 years were included. Sixty-six percent of pediatric patients were infected via family members with COVID-19. The median incubation period was 9 days (interquartile range, 6 to 13). Asymptomatic cases accounted for 5.9%, of which 30% had abnormal chest radiologic findings. A majority of pediatric COVID-19 cases showed mild to moderate clinical features, and only a few developed severe or critical diseases (0.6% and 0.3%, respectively). Fever (77.9%) and cough (32.4%) were the predominant presenting symptoms of pediatric COVID-19. The pediatric patients had fewer underlying diseases and complications than adults. The treatment modalities for pediatric COVID-19 patients were not as complex as those of adult COVID-19 patients. The overall prognosis of pediatric COVID-19 was benign with a decent recovery. The median time from onset to cure was 16 days (interquartile range, 13 to 21). CONCLUSIONS: Compared to adults, COVID-19 in children has distinct features of epidemiology and clinical manifestations. The findings from this study might help to guide the development of measures to prevent and treat this ongoing global pandemic.

RESUMO

We assessed the pharmacokinetics and safety of a single oral administration of selatinib to healthy Chinese subjects and evaluated the potential bioavailability advantage of selatinib relative to lapatinib. Healthy subjects aged 18-40 years were enrolled in this two-part study: Part 1, a single ascending dose (50-500 mg), randomized, double-blind, placebo-control study with 64 subjects; and Part 2, an open-label, positive control, randomized, three-treatment, three-period, three-sequence crossover design study, with 6 subjects administered a single 500-mg dose of selatinib tablets (A), selatinib suspension (B), or lapatinib tablets C) per cycle. In part 1, selatinib was well-tolerated up to the planned maximum dose of 500 mg; thus the maximum tolerated dose was not attained. Twenty-two adverse events were observed in 19 (36.5%) of the 52 subjects administered the test drug. The most common drug-related adverse event was diarrhea. The mean selatinib peak plasma concentration was 69.4-494 ng/mL, which was achieved in a median peak time of 3.5-4.5 h, with a mean elimination half-life between 13.8 and 15.8 h. In Part 2, A and B showed similar bioavailability. Plasma exposure to the active drug (selatinib plus the metabolite, lapatinib) after A intake was more than two-fold higher than that of the same dose of C. In the dose range of 50-500 mg, selatinib was safe and well-tolerated by healthy Chinese subjects, and it conformed with linear pharmacokinetics. Active exposure to selatinib was much greater than that to lapatinib, supporting its development as an adjuvant for anticancer treatment.

RESUMO

AIMS: To determine deficiencies in the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)'s guidance for assessing acarbose bioequivalence (BE) and to explore optimal pharmacodynamic (PD) metrics for better evaluation of acarbose BE. METHODS: Three clinical trials with branded acarbose were conducted in healthy subjects, including a pilot study (Study I, n = 11, 50 and 100 mg), a 2×2 crossover BE study (Study II, n = 36, 100 mg) and a 4×4 Williams study (Study III, n = 16, 50/100/150 mg). Serum glucose concentrations were measured by the glucose oxidase method. RESULTS: In Study I, compared with 50 mg acarbose, only 100 mg acarbose had a significantly lower Cmax0-4h than that of sucrose administration alone (7.96 ± 0.83 mmol/L vs 6.78 ± 1.02 mmol/L, P < .05). In Study II, the geometric mean ratios of the test formulation to the reference formulation (both formulations were the branded drug) for FDA PD metrics, ΔCmax0-4h and ΔAUC0-4h , were 0.903 and 0.776, respectively, and the 90% confidence intervals were 67.44-120.90 and 53.65-112.13, respectively. The geometric mean ratios (confidence interval) for possible optimal evaluation PD metrics (Cmax0-2h and AUC0-2h ) were 1.035 (94.23-112.68) and 0.982 (89.28-107.17), respectively. Further, Cmax0-2h and AUC0-2h also met the sensitivity requirements for BE evaluation in Study III. CONCLUSION: Considering the mechanisms of action of acarbose, the PD effect was shown to be dose independent during the 2-4 hours postadministration of acarbose. Hence PD metrics based on the serum glucose concentration from 0 to 2 hours (Cmax0-2h and AUC0-2h ) are more sensitive than the FDA-recommended PD metrics for acarbose BE evaluation from 0-4 hours (ΔCmax0-4h and ΔAUC0-4h ). The trial has been registered at the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (http://www.chictr.org.cn, ChiCTR1800015795, ChiCTR-IIR-17013918, ChiCTR-IIR-17011903). All subjects provided written informed consent before screening.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: On account of the potential inhibition of OATP1B1 (organic anion transporting polypeptide) by angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) and the effects of SLCO1B1 (solute carrier organic anion transporter family member) polymorphism, the aim of current study is to assess the impact of ARBs on the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of repaglinide in Chinese healthy volunteers with different SLCO1B1 genotypes. METHODS: The in vitro study was conducted on irbesartan, valsartan, olmesartan, and losartan by using HEK293 cells transfected with OATP1B1. Data on drug interactions between repaglinide and irbesartan from 21 healthy Chinese-Han male volunteers were collected and analyzed. RESULTS: IC50 from in vitro study suggested irbesartan was the most potent inhibitor of OATP1B1 transporter. Clinical data from single dose of repaglinide indicated SLCO1B1 c.521 T>C polymorphism influenced the PK and PD of repaglinide in healthy Chinese-Han male volunteers. In subjects with SLCO1B1 c.521 TT genotype, irbesartan comedication increased the exposure of repaglinide. In details, the peak plasma concentration [Cmax] increased 84% (P = 0.003) and the area under the curve of plasma concentration 0-8 h [AUC0-8] increased 34% (P = 0.004), while the minimum blood glucose concentration [Cmin] decreased 33.8% (P = 0.005). No significant change was observed in repaglinide exposure in subjects with SLCO1B1 c.521 TC genotype in presence or absence of irbesartan. CONCLUSION: SLCO1B1 c.521 T>C polymorphism affects the PK of repaglinide in Chinese population. Irbesartan increased repaglinide exposure in subjects with SLCO1B1 c.521 TT genotype, but not SLCO1B1 c.521 TC genotype.

RESUMO

There is considerable inter-individual variabil¬ity in chemoradiotherapy responses in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients receiv¬ing the same or similar treatment protocols. In this study we evaluated the association between the gene polymorphisms in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress pathway and chemoradiation responses in Chinese NPC patients. A total of 150 patients with histopathologically conformed NPC and treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy were enrolled. Genotypes in ER stress pathway genes, including VCP (valosin-containing protein) rs2074549, HSP90B1 rs17034943, CANX (calnexin) rs7566, HSPA5 [heat shock protein family A (Hsp70) member 5] rs430397, CALCR (calcitonin receptor) rs2528521, and XBP1 (X-box binding protein 1) rs2269577 were analyzed by Sequenom MassARRAY system. The short-term effects of primary tumor and lymph node after radiotherapy were assessed based on the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) of WHO. And acute radiation-induced toxic reactions were evaluated according to the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group or European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (RTOG/EORTC). The effects of gene polymorphisms on clinical outcomes of chemoradiotherapy were assessed by chi-square test, univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. We found that CT and CT+CC genotypes of CANX rs7566 was significantly correlated with primary tumor treatment efficacy at 3 months after chemoradiotherapy and with occurrence of radiation-induced myelosuppression in Chinese NPC patients. CT and CT+CC genotypes of CALCR rs2528521 were significantly correlated with cervical lymph node efficacy at 3 months after chemoradiotherapy. And CC and CT+CC genotypes of VCP rs2074549 were significantly associated with occurrence of myelosuppression. In conclusion, SNPs of VCP rs2074549, CANX rs7566 and CALCR rs2528521 in ER stress pathway genes may serve as predictors for clinical outcomes of chemoradiotherapy in Chinese NPC patients.

RESUMO

The purpose of this paper is to assess the relationship between gene polymorphism in angiogenesis-related genes and radiation responses in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients. The genotypes of 180 NPC patients were analyzed by Sequenom MassARRAY. The response evaluation criteria in solid tumours were used for assessing efficacies, and the criteria of the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group or European Organization for Research & Treatment of Cancer were utilized for evaluating acute toxic reactions in response to radiation. Statistical methods included chi-square test, uni- and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Genotypic carriers of rs1800541 GT were at an elevated risk of developing grade 3+ oral mucositis, and a genetic variant of rs5333 was a predictor for a lower occurring risk of grade 2+ radiation-induced xerostomia. EDN1 rs1800541, rs2071942 and rs5370 variants were associated with a significantly higher risk of severe myelosuppression. SNPs in such angiogenesis-related genes as EDN1 rs1800541, rs2071942 & rs5370 and EDNRA rs5333 may serve as useful biomarkers for predicting the outcomes of NPC patients.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: This study aimed to understand the effects of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in UGT1A1, SLCO1B3, ABCB1, ABCC2, ABCG2, and ORM1 on the pharmacokinetics (PK) (plasma concentration) and pharmacodynamics (PD) (blood pressure) of telmisartan in Chinese patients. METHODS: 58 Han Chinese patients (aged 45 - 72 years) with mild to moderate essential hypertension were included and received 80 mg/day telmisartan for 4 weeks. The plasma concentration and genetic variants were determined by LC/MS/MS and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, respectively. Multivariable linear analysis was used to examine the relationships between PK/PD and genetic variants. RESULTS: Females showed a significantly higher AUClast than males (n = 22, 4,879.48 ± 3,449.33 h×ng/mL vs. n = 36, 2,715.59 ± 2,223.77 h×ng/mL, p = 0.047). Amongst all genetic variants investigated, the patients with UGT1A1 rs4124874 AA (n = 11, 1,730.51 ± 1,325.79 h×ng/mL) had a significantly lower AUClast compared with patients with UGT1A1 rs4124874 CC+AC (n = 19 + 28, 4,177.44 ± 3,222.11 h×ng/mL and 3,810.82 ± 2,960.43 h×ng/mL, p = 0.027). None of the SNPs investigated was associated with the PD responses to telmisartan. CONCLUSION: Variation of UGT1A1 (rs4124874) affects PK of telmisartan in Chinese patients, highlighting the value of genetic testing in precision medicine as the telmisartan dose could be adjusted based on UGT1A1 genetic variations.

RESUMO

AIM: Iloperidone is an atypical antipsychotic drug that is mainly metabolized by CYP2D6, CYP3A4, and cytosolic enzymes. Previous studies show that extensive and poor metabolizers of CYP2D6 exhibit different plasma concentrations of iloperidone and its metabolites. The aim of this study was to develop a parent-metabolite population pharmacokinetic (PPK) model to quantify the effects of CYP2D6*10 allele on the pharmacokinetics of iloperidone and its metabolites in Chinese schizophrenia patients. METHODS: Seventy Chinese schizophrenia patients were enrolled, from whom limited blood samples were collected on d 15 (0 h) and d 28 (0, 4 and 12 h after drug administration). The plasma concentrations of iloperidone and its metabolites M1 (P-88) and M2 (P-95) were simultaneously detected using a validated HPLC-MS assay. CYP2D6*10 (rs1065852) genotyping was performed. A PPK model was developed based on data from the patients using the NONMEM software (version 7.2). A one-compartment model with first-order absorption and elimination was used to describe the pharmacokinetic data related to iloperidone and its metabolites. RESULTS: Patients with the CYP2D6*10 T/T genotype had significantly higher concentrations of iloperidone and M1, and lower concentrations of M2 than the patients with C/C or C/T genotypes. The CYP2D6*10 genotype affected the elimination constants for transformation of iloperidone to the metabolites M1 (K23) and M2 (K24). The K23 value of the patients with T/T genotype was 1.34-fold as great as that of the patients with C/C or C/T genotype. The K24 value of the patients with C/T and T/T genotypes was 0.693- and 0.492-fold, respectively, as low as that of the patients with C/C genotype. CONCLUSION: CYP2D6*10 mutations affect the pharmacokinetics of iloperidone and its metabolites in Chinese schizophrenia patients, suggesting that the clinical doses of iloperidone for patients with CYP2D6*10 mutations need to be optimized.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this study were to construct a population pharmacokinetics model for dexmedetomidine used in Chinese adult patients with spinal anesthesia and to identify the key factors affecting the pharmacokinetics of dexmedetomidine. METHODS: A total of 34 subjects (elderly group: n = 15; young group: n = 19) undergoing spinal anesthesia received dexmedetomidine with a loading dose of 0.5 µg×kg(-1) for 10 minutes, followed by a maintenance dose of 0.5 µg×kg-1×h(-1) for 50 minutes. Blood samples were collected until 10 hours after dosing. Laboratory and respiratory parameters, and dexmedetomidine concentrations were measured. A population pharmacokinetic model for dexmedetomidine was constructed using a nonlinear mixed effects model (NONMEM). RESULTS: Pharmacokinetics of dexmedetomidine can be described by a three-compartment model. The respective typical values for clearance (CL), V1, V2, Q2, Q3, and V3 were 0.883 L×min(-1), 17.6 L, 51.5 L, 2.37 L×min(-1), 0.517 L×min(-1), and 44.00 L. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), age, and body weight were key factors affecting CL, V1, and V2, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: A three-compartment model can be used to describe the pharmacokinetics processing of dexmedetomidine for Chinese adult patients during spinal anesthesia. The population pharmacokinetic of dexmedetomidine was generally in line with results from previous studies.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The application of dexmedetomidine in patient sedation is generally accepted, though its clinical application is limited because of the lack of information detailing the specific properties among diverse populations of patients. The aim of this study was to compare the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics of dexmedetomidine between elderly and young patients during spinal anesthesia. METHODS: 34 subjects (elderly group: n = 15; young group: n = 19) with spinal anesthesia were enrolled in the present study following the inclusion/exclusion criteria detailed below. All subjects received intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine with a loading dose of 0.5 µg x kg⁻¹ for 10 minutes and a maintenance dose of 0.5 µg x kg⁻¹ x h⁻¹ for 50 minutes. Plasma concentrations of dexmedetomidine were detected by the HPLC-MS/MS method and pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated using WinNolin software. RESULTS: There was no significant difference between the elderly and young subjects in major pharmacokinetic parameters. There was a marked gender difference in the Cmax (peak plasma concentration) and tmax (time to reach Cmax) between genders in elderly subjects, though in this cohort the other pharmacokinetic parameters were not significantly different. In the young subjects there were no noteworthy variations between genders in pharmacokinetic parameters. There was no significant difference between the two groups in BISAUC(0-t) (the area under the bispectral index-time curve from time 0 to t hours), BISmin (the minimum value of the bispectral index after drug delivery), and or tmin-BIS (bispectral index for the minimum value of time). SBP (systolic blood pressure), DBP (diastolic blood pressure), HR (heart rate), and SpO2(pulse oxygen saturation) developed substantive differences in a time-dependent manner, but there were no statistically significant differences in these four indicators in the time*group at three time points (1 hour, 2 hours, and 3 hours after drug administration); while SBP was significantly different between the groups, this differential declined in a time-dependent manner, and there were no significant attendant differences in the D-value. The observed values and D-values of DBP and HR were similar in the groups, but the observed value and D-value of SpO2did differ. There were 14 drug-related adverse events in the young group, and 26 drug-related adverse events in the elderly group, a 46% differential. The percentage of patients who requiring intervention during surgery was 68.75% (11/16) in the elderly group and 36.84% (7/19) in the young group, with no significant difference between the two groups once age was factored in (p = 0.06). None of the pharmacodynamic indices, however, correlated with the key pharmacokinetic parameters (Cmax, AUC(0→t), AUC(0→∞)) of dexmedetomidine. CONCLUSIONS: The clearance of dexmedetomidine in elderly patients showed a declining trend compared to young patients. Interventions in the elderly group were more frequent than in the young group, and the elderly group showed significant adverse effects. It is suggested that elderly patients who use dexmedetomidine may benefit from a different dose. However, further research with a larger population size is required to confirm these findings.

RESUMO

Organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B1 (OATP1B1) is the most important transporter in the organic anion transporting polypeptide family. OATP1B1 plays an important role in the hepatic uptake of many endogenous compounds and xenobiotics, including many clinical drugs. At present, the combinational usage of Chinese traditional herbal medicines and conventional chemical pharmaceuticals may affect the activity of enzymes and transporters activity and cause absorption of their substrates and metabolic changes. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of schisandrin A, schisandrin B and tanshinone IIA, which were extracted from medicinal plants, on OATP1B1 activity. HepG2 cells are used as in vitro models for OATP1B1 activity studies. A combination of 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyl-tertazolium bromide (MTT) assays, real-time RT-PCR, and transporter activity analysis were employed. We found that schisandrin A and B increased OATP1B1 mRNA levels by 1.81-fold (p < 0.01) and 1.87-fold (p < 0.01) at concentration of 10 µM, respectively. Schisandrin A of 1 µM and 10 µM and schisandrin B of 10 µM significantly increased the uptake of [3H] estrone-3-sulfate (p < 0.05 or p < 0.01). Tanshinone IIA had no effect on the mRNA expression and transport activity of OATP1B1 at nontoxic concentrations. Our study suggests that schisandrin A and B induced OATP1B1 expression and increased its transporter activity in HepG2 cells.

RESUMO

It has recently been found that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) m6A modifications can affect viral replication and function. However, no studies to date have shown a correlation between SARS-CoV-2 m6A modifications and viral pathogenicity. In this study, we analyzed m6A modification in 2,190,667 SARS-CoV-2 genomic RNAs. m6A modifications of SARS-CoV-2 from different lineages, causing mild or severe COVID-19 and showing breakthrough for different vaccines were analyzed to explore correlations with viral pathogenicity. The results suggested that the presence of more m6A modifications in the SARS-CoV-2 N region (positive strand) correlates with weaker pathogenicity. In addition, we identified three m6A modification sites correlating with weak pathogenicity (924 in ORF1ab, 15,659 in ORF1ab, 28,288 in N, 28,633 in N and 29,385 in N, 29,707 in 3'UTR) and one with strong pathogenicity (74 in 5'UTR). These results provide new information for understanding the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 and controlling the virus.

RESUMO

The extracellular matrix (ECM) governs a wide spectrum of cellular fate processes, with a particular emphasis on anoikis, an integrin-dependent form of cell death. Currently, anoikis is defined as an intrinsic apoptosis. In contrast to traditional apoptosis and necroptosis, integrin correlates ECM signaling with intracellular signaling cascades, describing the full process of anoikis. However, anoikis is frequently overlooked in physiological and pathological processes as well as traditional in vitro research models. In this review, we summarized the role of anoikis in physiological and pathological processes, spanning embryonic development, organ development, tissue repair, inflammatory responses, cardiovascular diseases, tumor metastasis, and so on. Similarly, in the realm of stem cell research focused on the functional evolution of cells, anoikis offers a potential solution to various challenges, including in vitro cell culture models, stem cell therapy, cell transplantation, and engineering applications, which are largely based on the regulation of cell fate by anoikis. More importantly, the regulatory mechanisms of anoikis based on molecular processes and ECM signaling will provide new strategies for therapeutic interventions (drug therapy and cell-based therapy) in disease. In summary, this review provides a systematic elaboration of anoikis, thus shedding light on its future research.

RESUMO

AIM: To investigate the effect of quercetin on organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B1 (OATP1B1) activities in vitro and on the pharmacokinetics of pravastatin, a typical substrate for OATP1B1 in healthy Chinese-Han male subjects. METHODS: Using human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells stably expressing OATP1B1, we observed the effect of quercetin on OATP1B1-mediated uptake of estrone-3-sulphate (E3S) and pravastatin. The influence of quercetin on the pharmacokinetics of pravastatin was measured in 16 healthy Chinese-Han male volunteers receiving a single dose of pravastatin (40 mg orally) after co-administration of placebo or 500 mg quercetin capsules (once daily orally for 14 days). RESULTS: Quercetin competitively inhibited OATP1B1-mediated E3S uptake with a K(i) value of 17.9 ± 4.6 µm and also inhibited OATP1B1-mediated pravastatin uptake in a concentration dependent manner (IC(50) , 15.9 ± 1.4 µm). In healthy Chinese-Han male subjects, quercetin increased the pravastatin area under the plasma concentration - time curve (AUC(0,10 h) and the peak plasma drug concentration (C(max)) to 24% (95% CI 15, 32%, P < 0.001) and 31% (95% CI 20, 42%, P < 0.001), respectively. After administration of quercetin, the elimination half-life (t(1/2) ) of pravastatin was prolonged by 14% (95% CI 4, 24%, P = 0.027), with no change in the time to reach C(max) (t(max) ). Moreover, quercetin decreased the apparent clearance (CL/F) of pravastatin by 18% (95% CI 75, 89%, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that quercetin inhibits the OATP1B1-mediated transport of E3S and pravastatin in vitro and also has a modest inhibitory influence on the pharmacokinetics of pravastatin in healthy Chinese-Han male volunteers. The effects of quercetin on other OATP1B1 substrate drugs deserve further investigation.

RESUMO

AIM: To evaluate retrospectively the association of cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) and ATP-binding cassette sub-family B member 1 (ABCB1) gene polymorphisms with the pharmacokinetics of cyclosporine A (CsA) in Chinese renal transplant patients. METHODS: One hundred and twenty-six renal transplant patients were recruited. Blood samples were collected, and corresponding clinical indices were recorded on the seventh day after the procedure. The patients were genotyped for CYP3A4*1G, CYP3A5*3C, ABCB1 1236 C>T, ABCB1 2677 G>T/A, and ABCB1 3435 C>T polymorphisms. Whole blood trough concentrations of CsA at time zero (C(0)) were measured before the drug administration. A multiple regression model was developed to analyze the effects of genetic factors on the CsA dose-adjusted C(0) (C(0)/dose) based on several clinical indices. RESULTS: The CYP3A5*3C polymorphism influenced the C(0) and C(0)/dose of CsA, which were significantly higher in patients with the GG genotype than in patients with the AA or GA genotypes. No significant differences were detected for other SNPs (CYP3A4*1G, ABCB1 1236 C>T, ABCB1 2677 G>T/A, and ABCB1 3435 C>T). In a univariate analysis using Pearson's correlation test, age, hemoglobin, blood urea nitrogen and blood creatinine levels were significantly correlated with the log-transformed CsA C(0)/dose. In the multiple regression model, CYP3A5*3C, age, hemoglobin and blood creatinine level were associated with the log-transformed CsA C(0)/dose. CONCLUSION: CYP3A5*3C correlates with the C(0)/dose of CsA on the seventh day after renal transplantation. The allele is a putative indicator for the optimal CsA dosage in the early phase of renal transplantation in the Chinese population.

RESUMO

In this study, the effects of 136 naturally occurring products, which have been reported to play important roles in modification of Cytochrome P450 (CYP450) activities, on the uptake of estrone-3-sulfate (E3S), a typical OATP1B1 substrate, were evaluated using human embryonic kidney 293 cells stably expressing OATP1B1. At a concentration of 100 µM, 42 natural products inhibited OATP1B1-mediated [(3)H]E3S uptake by more than 50%, and five of them significantly inhibited OATP1B1-mediated [(3)H]E3S by more than 80% with the following rank order of potency: quercetin > astragaloside IV > icariin > glycyrrhizic acid > ginsenoside Rc. Inhibitory effects of these natural products on OATP1B1 activity were in a concentration-dependent manner. 11 natural compounds were found exhibiting greater than 50% inhibition at 30 µM with IC(50) values ranging from 14.6 ± 3.3 to 28.5 ± 3.0 µM. In conclusion, our data suggest that modification of OATP1B1 transport activity by these natural occurring products may be a mechanism for natural product-drug interactions in humans.
