RESUMEN
PURPOSE: We investigated the relationship between imatinib trough concentrations and genetic polymorphisms with efficacy of imatinib in Chinese patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). METHODS: There were 171 eligible patients. Peripheral blood samples were collected from 171 eligible patients between 21 and 27 hours after the last imatinib administration. Complete cytogenetic response (CCyR), major molecular response (MMR) and complete molecular response (CMR) were used as metrics for efficacy. Nine single nucleotide polymorphisms in 5 genes, SLC22A4 (917 T>C, -248 C>G and -538 C>G), SLC22A5 (-945 T>G and -1889 T>C), SLCO1A2 (-361 G>A), SLCO1B3 (334 T>G and 699 G>A) and ABCG2 (421C>A) were selected for genotyping. RESULTS: Patients with CCyR achieve higher trough concentrations than those without CCyR (1478.18±659.83 vs 984.89±454.06 ng mL-1, p<0.001). Patients with MMR and CMR achieve higher trough concentrations than those without MMR and CMR, respectively (1486.40±703.38 vs 1121.17±527.14 ng mL-1, p=0.007; 1528.00±709.98 vs 1112.67±518.35 ng mL-1, p=0.003, respectively). Carriers of A allele in SLCO1A2 -361G>A achieve higher CCyR and MMR rates (p=0.047, OR=4.320, 95% CI: 0.924-20.206; p=0.042, OR=2.825, 95% CI: 1.016-7.853, respectively). Both trough concentrations and SLCO1A2 -361G>A genotypes are independent factors affecting imatinib efficacy. The positive and negative predictive values for CCyR are 71.01% and 68.75%, respectively. The positive and negative predictive values for MMR are 62.86% and 69.70%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Imatinib trough concentrations and SLCO1A2 -361G>A genotypes are associated with imatinib efficacy in Chinese patients with CML.

Background: CircRNA has appeared as a critical molecular in the development of various cancers. However, the cellular function of circRNAs and exosomal circRNAs has not been well explored in Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Methods: Differentially expressed circRNAs were identified by a human circRNA microarray analysis. The expression of hsa_circ_0058493 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and exosomes was verified using quantitative real-time PCR. Short hairpin RNAs against hsa_circ_0058493 were constructed to silence the expression of circ_0058493. CCK8, flow cytometry and EdU assay were performed to investigate the biological functions of circ_0058493. Results: Hsa_circ_0058493 was significantly overexpressed in the PBMCs of CML patients and high level of circ_0058493 was associated with the poor clinical efficacy of imatinib. Silencing the expression of circ_0058493 significantly inhibited the development of imatinib-resistant CML cells. miR-548b-3p was overexpressed in circ_0058493-downregulated CML cells. Bioinformatic analysis revealed that circ_0058493 might exert its regulatory function acting as a "sponge" of miR-548b-3p. Moreover, hsa_circ_0058493 was significantly enriched in the exosomes derived from imatinib-resistant CML cells. Conclusion: Hsa_circ_0058493 in PBMCs could be a promising prognostic biomarker and might provide a therapeutic target for CML treatment.
