RESUMO
Gilbert's syndrome is characterized by mild unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia. The key of this disease is a diminished activity of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1). TA insertion into the TATA box promoter region of the UGT1A1 gene on chromosome 2 is the genetic basis of Gilbert's syndrome (UGT1A1*28). An extra TA insert leads to eight (TA)8 repeats (UGT1A1*37) resulting in a further reduction of glucuronidation activity. A variant lacking one TA repeat (TA)5 (UGT1A1*36) has been identified. (TA)8 repeats (UGT1A1*37) and (TA)5 (UGT1A1*36) have been detected in Africans (frequency up to 0.07 and 0.08 respectively). We present a real time PCR method for genotyping the UGT1A1 (TA)n polymorphism (UGT1A1*28, UGT1A1*36, UGT1A1*37) using Taqman PCR on 7500 and cfx96 Real-Time PCR System. We present a real time PCR method for genotyping the UGT1A1 (TA)n polymorphism (UGT1A1*28, UGT1A1*36, UGT1A1*37) using Taqman PCR. About clinical validation, all 53 samples collected from patients referred for suspected Gilbert's syndrome were analyzed. We found 21 on the 53 patients (39.6%) were homozygotes (UGT1A1-TATA (TA)6) and referred as wild-type, 13 on the 53 patients (24.5%) were homozygotes (UGT1A1-TATA (TA)7) and referred as mutated, 1 on the 53 patients (1.9%) were homozygotes (UGT1A1-TATA (TA)8) and referred as mutated, 1 on the 53 patients (1.9%) were heterozygotes (UGT1A1-TATA (TA)7/8) and referred as mutated, 1 on the 53 patients (1.9%) were heterozygotes (UGT1A1-TATA (TA)5/6) and referred as mutated, and 16 on the 53 patients (30.2%) were heterozygotes (UGT1A1-TATA (TA)6/7). None were homozygotes UGT1A1-TATA (TA)5, homozygotes UGT1A1-TATA (TA)8, or heterozygotes with (TA)5 or (TA)8 alleles. The newly described technique represents a valid alternative method to sequencing, mainly due to its rapidity, easiness, and minor costs.

Severe irinotecan-induced toxicity is associated with UGT1A1 polymorphisms. However, some patients develop side-effects despite harbouring a normal UGT1A1 genotype. As CYP3A4 is also an irinotecan-metabolizing enzyme, our study aimed to elucidate the influence of the CYP3A4*20 loss-of-function allele in the toxicity profile of these patients. Three-hundred and eight metastatic colorectal cancer patients treated with an irinotecan-containing chemotherapy were studied. The presence of CYP3A4*20, UGT1A1*37 and UGT1A1*28 alleles was tested. Associations between these genetic variants and toxicity were evaluated. UGT1A1*28 was significantly associated with severe diarrhoea, neutropenia and asthenia (P = 0.002, P = 0.037 and P = 0.041, respectively). One patient with the UGT1A1*28/*37 genotype presented with grade IV neutropenia and lethal septic shock. One heterozygous UGT1A1 (*1/*28) patient also carried the CYP3A4*20 allele but did not develop toxicity. We confirm that UGT1A1*37 and UGT1A1*28 are associated with severe toxicity and suggest that the CYP3A4*20 allele does not play a role in irinotecan-induced toxicity.

AIMS: Axitinib is a potent and selective second generation inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor receptors 1, 2 and 3 approved for second line treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma. The objectives of this analysis were to assess plasma pharmacokinetics and identify covariates that may explain variability in axitinib disposition following single dose administration in healthy volunteers. METHODS: Plasma concentration-time data from 337 healthy volunteers in 10 phase I studies were analyzed, using non-linear mixed effects modelling (nonmem) to estimate population pharmacokinetic parameters and evaluate relationships between parameters and food, formulation, demographic factors, measures of renal and hepatic function and metabolic genotypes (UGT1A1*28 and CYP2C19). RESULTS: A two compartment structural model with first order absorption and lag time best described axitinib pharmacokinetics. Population estimates for systemic clearance (CL), central volume of distribution (Vc ), absorption rate constant (ka ) and absolute bioavailability (F) were 17.0 l h(-1) , 45.3 l, 0.523 h(-1) and 46.5%, respectively. With axitinib Form IV, ka and F increased in the fasted state by 207% and 33.8%, respectively. For Form XLI (marketed formulation), F was 15% lower compared with Form IV. CL was not significantly influenced by any of the covariates studied. Body weight significantly affected Vc , but the effect was within the estimated interindividual variability for Vc . CONCLUSIONS: The analysis established a model that adequately characterizes axitinib pharmacokinetics in healthy volunteers. Vc was found to increase with body weight. However, no change in plasma exposures is expected with change in body weight; hence no dose adjustment is warranted.

OBJECTIVE: To report a case of systemic irinotecan toxicity following regional transarterial chemoembolization with drug-eluting beads loaded with irinotecan (DEBIRI-TACE) in a patient later found to have a homozygous mutation for UGT1A1*28. CASE SUMMARY: An 80-year-old woman presented with a cecal colon cancer with synchronous metastases to the liver. After resection of the primary tumor, the patient underwent DEBIRI-TACE with 100 mg of irinotecan to treat the residual disease in the liver. A week after this procedure, the patient developed grade 4 neutropenia, and later, alopecia. Eventually, it was found that the patient had a mutation of UDP glucuronosyltransferase 1 family polypeptide A1 (UGT1A1), which provided a reasonable explanation for the observed reaction. DISCUSSION: The toxic effects of irinotecan are well understood. Patients with genetic polymorphisms of the genes encoding for the enzyme UGT1A1 may have increased incidence of irinotecan-associated toxicities because of decreased clearance of the active metabolite SN38 via the glucuronidation pathway. To date, there have been limited publications describing systemic adverse events following TACE or DEBIRI-TACE and, based on a thorough literature search, none following these procedures in patients with UGT1A1 polymorphisms. Based on the scoring results of the Naranjo algorithm (7), we are confident in attributing the observed reaction to the patient's genetic polymorphism. CONCLUSION: Although genetic testing prior to the initiation of irinotecan therapy is not currently recommended, assessment of UGT1A1 polymorphism is warranted when severe adverse events typical of systemic therapy manifest following DEBIRI-TACE.

A new UGT1A1*28 detection method combining PCR and high-resolution agarose gel electrophoresis was developed. The viability of this method was demonstrated on 15 healthy adult volunteers. Subjects included 13 wild type homozygotes (86.7 %), 2 heterozygotes (13.3 %), and no mutant type homozygotes (0 %). The new UGT1A1*28 detection method results were fully consistent with DNA sequencing. PCR and agarose gel electrophoresis are common techniques with high-resolution agarose gels available commercially. These results support the clinical viability of this method potentially reducing UGT1A1*28 diagnosis complexity and cost.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Sacituzumab govitecan (sacituzumab) emerged as an important agent in metastatic and locally recurrent HER2-negative breast cancer treatment. UGT1A1 polymorphisms have also been shown to predict sacituzumab toxicity. METHODS: In this retrospective study, we sought to evaluate the associations between UGT1A1 status, toxicity, and therapeutic outcomes in sacituzumab recipients with advanced breast cancer who underwent genotype testing for UGT1A1 alleles (N = 68). RESULTS: We found 17 (25%) of our patients to be homozygous for UGT1A1*28 and 24 (35.3%) were heterozygous. Of seven African American patients with triple-negative breast cancer, five were homozygous for UGT1A1*28 and two were heterozygous. Patients with a homozygous UGT1A1*28 genotype were significantly more likely to have treatment terminated because of adverse effects. However, the polymorphism was not associated with treatment discontinuation because of disease progression. CONCLUSION: This retrospective, real-world analysis suggests potential clinical utility in UGT1A1 testing for patients receiving sacituzumab, but future trials are needed to confirm the association between genotypes and treatment outcomes.

Aim: To evaluate the association between irinotecan safety and the UGT1A1 gene polymorphism in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients.Materials & methods: The studies were systematically searched and identified from three databases (PubMed, Embase and The Cochrane Library) until 28 February 2023. The relationships were evaluated using pooled odds ratio (OR).Results: A total of 30 studies out of 600 were included, comprising 4471 patients. UGT1A1*28 was associated with a statistically significant increase in the OR for diarrhea (OR: 1.59, 95% CI = 1.24-2.06 in the additive model; OR = 3.24, 95% CI = 2.01-5.21 in the recessive model; and OR = 1.95, 95% CI = 1.42-2.69 in the dominant model) and neutropenia (OR = 1.70, 95% CI = 1.40-2.06 in the additive model; OR = 4.10, 95%CI = 2.69-6.23 in the recessive model; and OR = 1.93, 95% CI = 1.61-2.31 in the dominant model). Subgroup analysis indicated consistent associations in both Asian and non-Asian populations. UGT1A1*6 was associated with a statistically significant elevation in the OR for diarrhea (only in the recessive model, OR = 2.42; 95% CI = 1.14-5.11) and neutropenia (across all genetic models).Conclusion: The UGT1A1*28 and UGT1A1*6 alleles might be a crucial indicator for predicting irinotecan safety in CRC.

RESUMO
Irinotecan is a critical anticancer drug used to treat metastatic colorectal cancer and advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma by obstructing topoisomerase 1; however, it can cause minor-to-severe and life-threatening adverse effects. UDP glucuronosyltransferase family 1 member A1 (UGT1A1) polymorphisms increase the risk of irinotecan-induced neutropenia and diarrhea. Hence, screening for UGT1A1 polymorphisms before irinotecan-based chemotherapy is recommended to minimize toxicity, whereas liposomes offer the potential to deliver irinotecan with fewer side effects in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. This review presents a comprehensive overview of the effects of genotype-guided dosing of irinotecan on UGT1A1*28 and UGT1A1*6 variants, incorporating pharmacogenomic research, optimal regimens for metastatic colorectal and pancreatic cancer treatment using irinotecan, guidelines for toxicity reduction, and an evaluation of the cost-effectiveness of UGT1A1 genotype testing.
RESUMO
There have been no case reports of the risk of serious adverse events associated with the administration of irinotecan hydrochloride (CPT-11) in patients with gynecologic cancer who are compound heterozygous for UGT1A1*6 and UGT1A1*28. A 71-year-old patient presented with recurrent stage IIIb cervical cancer. Combined chemotherapy was initiated with CPT-11 (60 mg/m² on days 1 and 8) plus nedaplatin (NDP; 80 mg/m² on day 1), with each cycle lasting for 28 days. The patient was a compound heterozygote for UGT1A1*6 and UGT1A1*28. Hematotoxic adverse events observed during the chemotherapy were grade 4 neutropenia, grade 3 anemia, and grade 4 thrombocytopenia, and the non-hematotoxic adverse events were grade 3 diarrhea and grade 3 fatigue. The findings in this patient indicate that CPT-11 should be administered with great care, even at a dose of 60 mg/m², in patients receiving combined therapy with CPT-11 and NDP who are compound heterozygous for UGT1A1*6 and UGT1A1*28.

OBJECTIVE: The UGT1A1*28 polymorphism reduces UGT1A1 enzymatic activity, which may increase the risk of severe toxicity in patients who receive standard-dose irinotecan, such as severe neutropenia and diarrhea. This real-world study assessed the optimal irinotecan dose in terms of efficacy and toxicity in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients homozygous for the UGT1A1*28 polymorphism and receiving FOLFIRI plus bevacizumab or cetuximab as first-line therapy. METHODS: We analyzed toxicity and treatment outcomes in seven mCRC patients who were homozygous for UGT1A1*28 and received FOLFIRI plus bevacizumab or cetuximab, with an initial irinotecan dose of 120 mg/m2. RESULTS: Six of the seven patients tolerated 120 mg/m2 irinotecan without requiring dose reductions in subsequent cycles. The overall response and disease control rates were 43.0% (3/7) and 71.4% (5/7), respectively. The median progression-free survival and overall survival were 11.0 and 33.0 months, respectively. Only one severe adverse event, grade III neutropenia (2.5%), was observed. CONCLUSIONS: mCRC patients homozygous for the UGT1A1*28 allele can tolerate irinotecan at an initial dose of 120 mg/m2 with favorable oncological outcomes and toxicity profiles. Further prospective studies are warranted to optimize irinotecan-based chemotherapy in these patients.

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between UGT1A1*28 gene polymorphism and the risk of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (NHBI). METHODS: The studies meet certain selection condition which was obtained from databases such as PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library. Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used to evaluate the quality of included studies. Meta-analysis was performed according to criteria such as country. Hardy-Weinberg's equilibrium (HWE) tests were performed on the control group using chi-square test, while the evaluation index was represented by odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Egger's test and sensitivity analysis were used to evaluate the publication bias and reliability, repetitively. RESULTS: Totally, four studies with high overall quality were enrolled in this study. No association was observed between UGT1A1*28 gene polymorphisms and NHBI in allele model (TA7 versus TA6, OR (95% CI) = 2.13 (0.81-5.62), p = .13), codominance models (TA7/6 versus TA6/6, OR (95% CI) = 2.94 (0.90-9.57), p = .07; TA7/7 versus TA6/6, OR (95% CI) = 2.08 (0.37-11.52), p = .40), recessive model (TA7/7 versus TA6/6 + TA7/6, OR (95% CI) = 1.44 (0.41-5.14), p = .57), and dominant model (TA7/7 + TA7/6 versus TA6/6, OR (95% CI) = 2.92 (0.84-10.12), p = .09). Furthermore, there was no publication bias found in current meta-analysis. CONCLUSIONS: Gene polymorphism of UGT1A1*28 might not be associated with the risk of NHBI.

BACKGROUND: UGT1A1 *28 and *6 polymorphism is associated with reduced enzyme activity and severe toxicities of irinotecan, especially in patients with homozygous or heterozygous for UGT1A1*28 or *6 polymorphism for both UGT1A1*28 and *6 (double-variant-type of UGT1A1 polymorphism, UGT1A1-DV). FOLFIRINOX is one of the standard treatments for metastatic pancreatic cancer (PC). The optimal dose of irinotecan as a component of the FOLFIRINOX has not been established yet for patients with UGT1A1-DV. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Advanced PC patients with UGT1A1-DV who had received at least one cycle of FOLFIRINOX from December 2013 to March 2016 were collected retrospectively conducted at multicenter in Japan. We evaluated the patient characteristics, efficacy and safety of FOLFIRINOX and investigate the optimal initial dose of irinotecan in Japanese advanced PC patients with UGT1A1-DV. RESULTS: A total of 31 patients were enrolled. Grade 4 neutropenia was seen more frequently (67%; 4/6) in patients who had received irinotecan at an initial dose of ≥ 150 mg/m2 than in those who had received the drug at an initial dose of ≤ 120 mg/m2 (20%; 5/24). The response rate (RR) and progression-free survival (PFS) in patients given irinotecan of ≤ 120 mg/m2 were 21.4% and 8.1 months, respectively, which were consistent with previous report for patients without UGT1A1-DV. CONCLUSION: Based on our findings, we recommend that in Japanese advanced PC patients with UGT1A1- DV treated with FOLFIRINOX, irinotecan be administered at an initial dose of ≤ 120 mg/m2.

Colorectal cancer, one of the most frequent types of cancer worldwide, has a high mortality rate. Irinotecan (CPT-11) has been approved for the treatment of advanced or metastatic disease either as a single agent or, more commonly, as part of combined chemotherapeutic regimens. Treatment with irinotecan is often accompanied by severe toxicity (e.g. neutropenia and diarrhea) that can result in treatment interruption or cessation, thus jeopardizing the patient's prognosis and quality of life. Irinotecan is bioactivated into its metabolite SN-38, which is subsequently detoxified by uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyl transferases (mainly UGT1A1). Further, ABC transporters (i.e. ABCB1, ABCC1-ABCC6, and ABCG2) are responsible for drug efflux into bile and urine whereas OATP transporters (SLCO1B1) enable its influx from blood into hepatocytes. Genetic polymorphisms in these enzymes/pumps may result in increased systemic SN-38 level, directly correlating with toxicity. Contemporary research is focused on the clinical implementation of genetic screenings for validated gene variations prior to treatment onset, allowing tailored individual doses or treatment regimens.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effects of UGT1A1*6 and UGT1A1*28 polymorphisms on the safety and efficacy of metronomic irinotecan-based chemotherapy (IBC) in Chinese patients with pulmonary neuroendocrine tumours (PNTs). METHODS: Sixty-eight PNT patients who received metronomic IBC were observed. The quantitative fluorescent polymerase chain reaction was used to detect UGT1A1*6 and UGT1A1*28 polymorphisms. The follow-up data were collected to investigate the relationship between different genotypes and adverse drug reactions. The clinical outcomes of metronomic IBC were also evaluated. KEY FINDINGS: In the genotype-toxicity association analysis, patients with homozygous UGT1A1*6 had the highest incidence of grade 3-4 diarrhoea (P = 0.010). Compared to other groups, patients with the haplotype of UGT1A1*28 showed a trend towards an increased incidence of grade 4 neutropaenia (P = 0.047). A higher incidence of grade 3-4 leucopaenia was found in groups with UGT1A1*1/*28 (P = 0.023) and UGT1A1*28/*28 (P = 0.022). Grade 1 total bilirubin elevation was associated with the homozygous UGT1A1*6 mutation (P = 0.027) or any UGT1A1*6 variants (P = 0.047). However, neither UGTA1A*28 nor UGT1A1*6 showed any significant association with tumour response or clinical outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: The impact of UGT1A1 polymorphisms varies in different irinotecan-based chemotherapies. UGT1A1*6 and UGTA1A*28 were useful for the prediction of irinotecan-related severe toxicity in Chinese PNT patients treated with metronomic IBC.

Objectives The uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1)*28 allele in HIV-positive patients receiving atazanavir (ATV) might be associated with the risk of hyperbilirubinemia. Owing to mixed and inconclusive results, a meta-analysis was conducted to systematically summarize and clarify this association.Methods Based on a comprehensive search of PubMed, Embase and Web of Science databases, studies investigating the association between UGT1A1 alleles and hyperbilirubinemia was retrieved. We evaluated the strength of this relationship using odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Sensitivity analysis was performed by removing each study one at a time and calculating the pooled ORs of the remaining studies to test the robustness of the meta-analysis results. The Q statistic and the I2 index statistic were used to assess heterogeneity. Publication bias was evaluated using Orwin's fail-safe N test.Results A total of six individual studies were included in this meta-analysis. A significantly increased risk of hyperbilirubinemia was observed in HIV-positive patients receiving ATV with the UGT1A1*1/*28 or UGT1A1*28/*28 genotype, and the risk was higher with the UGT1A1*28/*28 genotype than with the UGT1A1*1/*28 genotype. (UGT1A1*28/*28 versus UGT1A1*1/*28: OR = 3.69, 95%CI = 1.82-7.49; UGT1A1*1/*28 versus UGT1A1*1/*1: OR = 3.50, 95%CI = 1.35-9.08; UGT1A1*28/*28 versus UGT1A1*1/*1: OR = 10.07, 95%CI = 4.39-23.10). All of the pooled ORs were not significantly affected by the remaining studies and different modeling methods, indicating robust results.Conclusions This meta-analysis suggests that the UGT1A1*28 allele represents a biomarker for an increased risk of hyperbilirubinemia in HIV-positive patients receiving ATV.

BACKGROUND: In our previous dose-escalation study, we uncovered the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of weekly irinotecan was escalated to 80 mg/m2 and 65 mg/m2 for UDP glucuronosyltransferase family 1 member A1 (UGT1A1) *1*1 and *1*28 rectal cancer patients in neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT). This is an expansion study for *1*1 patients. METHODS: Patients with clinical stage T3-4, N0-2 rectal cancer eligible for preoperative chemoradiotherapy were screened for the UGT1A1*28 genotype. A total of 52 patients with the *1*1 genotype were enrolled. Whole-pelvic intensity-modulated radiation therapy was given in 50 Gy/25 fractions. Concurrently, irinotecan of 80 mg/m2 and capecitabine of 625 mg/m2 twice daily from Monday to Friday were administered weekly. Primary endpoint was toxicities; secondary endpoints included pathological complete response (pCR), tumour-regression grading, treatment compliance, overall survival, local recurrence and disease-free survival. RESULTS: All patients completed capecitabine-based radiotherapy as scheduled, and 42 (81%) patients completed more than three cycles of weekly irinotecan. Overall, grade 3/4 toxicities were observed in 20 cases, including 11 leucopenia, 10 neutropenia and 12 diarrhoea. Forty-three patients (83%) underwent a radical surgery, and 12 were evaluated as pCR. Another four patients accepted a watch-and-wait strategy because of clinical complete response (CCR). CONCLUSIONS: Our data demonstrated manageable toxicities and an encouraging CCR rate for UGT1A1 *1*1 genotype in an enhanced neoadjuvant therapy. A phase III trial is ongoing to evaluate the value of irinotecan in neoadjuvant therapy (CinClare) [ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02605265].
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: The transcriptional activity of the UGT1A1 gene is modulated by a variable number of repetitions of the dinucleotide (TA) within its promoter region. By comparison to the most common allele (TA)6 (UGT1A1*1), decreased activity is observed with increasing TA repetitions. The aim of this study was to determine whether the presence of the variant allele UGT1A1*28, harbouring seven TA repetitions, (TA)7, in the homozygous state, is associated with precancerous colonic lesions and/or with specific colorectal cancer characteristics. MATERIAL AND METHODS: All patients treated for colorectal cancer in a tertiary care centre, between January 2009 and December 2013, who had routine UGT1A1 genotyping for irinotecan dose-adjustment were included. Data were retrospectively collected. RESULTS: 292 patients were enrolled, including 23 UGT1A1*28/*28 homozygous (7.9%), 137 wild type homozygous (46.9%) and 132 heterozygous (45.2%). There were no significant differences in phenotypic colonic characteristics between homozygous and heterozygous patients carrying the UGT1A1*28 allele as compared to *1/*1 homozygous. Patients treated with aspirin were significantly more common in the UGT1A1*28/*28 homozygous group than in the other groups (7/23 (30.4%) compared to 22/269 (8.2%), pâ¯=â¯0.001). CONCLUSION: Dinucleotide polymorphism in the promoter region of the UGT1A1 gene is not associated with a specific colonic phenotype in patients with sporadic colorectal cancer.

Inherited variations in UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) are associated with an increased breast cancer risk in women of African ancestry. The UGT1A1*28 promoter polymorphism is characterized by the presence of 7 TA repeats in the TATA box sequence and results in reduced UGT1A1 gene expression and enzymatic activity. In this study, we investigated associations between the UGT1A1*28 polymorphism and breast cancer risk among African American (AA) women in Memphis, Tennessee, a city with increased breast cancer mortality rates among AA women. Saliva was collected from 352 AA women, including breast cancer cases (n=82) and controls (n=270) between June 2016 to June 2017. DNA was isolated and sequenced for the UGT1A1*28 polymorphism. The odds ratio for cases with the low UGT1A1 activity alleles (TA)7/8 repeat genotypes versus 5/5, 5/6, and 6/6 genotypes was 1.46 [95% CI, 0.65-3.31; P = 0.36] in premenopausal women and 1.10 (95% CI, 0.52-2.38; P = 0.79) in postmenopausal women. Further analysis of TCGA RNA-seq data showed that UGT1A1 mRNA was significantly lower among estrogen receptor (ER)-negative breast cancers from AA as compared to non-Hispanic white women with ER-negative breast cancer. Larger epidemiological studies are needed to determine the functional consequence of the UGT1A1*28 polymorphism on breast cancer risk in AA women.
RESUMO
Biotransformation is an enzyme-catalyzed process in which the body converts endogenous compounds, xenobiotics and toxic substances into harmless or easily excreted metabolites. The biotransformation reactions are classified as phase I and II reactions. Uridine 5'-diphospho (UDP)-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) are a superfamily of phase II enzymes which have roles in the conjugation of xenobiotics or endogenous compounds, including drugs and bilirubin, with glucuronic acid to make them easier to excrete. The method the human body uses to achieve glucuronidation may be affected by a large interindividual variation due to changes in the sequences of the genes encoding these enzymes. In the last five years, the study of the genetic variants of the UGTs at a molecular level has become important due to its association with several diseases and the ability to predict adverse events due to drug metabolism. In the present review, the structure and the prominent genetic variants of the UGT1A subfamily and their metabolic and clinical implications are described.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Previous articles explored the role of UGT1A1 polymorphism on predicting irinotecan-induced toxicity, but the conclusions were still inconsistent and not comprehensive. We performed this meta-analysis to investigate the association between UGT1A1 polymorphism and irinotecan-induced toxicity. METHODS: PubMed and Web of Science were searched for articles before July 2017. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were set to select eligible articles, and corresponding data were extracted from those articles. Subgroup analyses based on different cancer categories, doses and races were carried out to achieve comprehensive results. Statistical analyses were conducted using STATA 11.0. RESULTS: A total of 38 studies with 6742 cases were included after reading full text. Both UGT1A1*6 and UGT1A1*28 polymorphism are significantly associated with severe irinotecan-induced toxicity. Both Asian and Caucasian cancer patients with UGT1A1*28 variant had an increased risk. Compared with heterozygous variant, patients with homozygous variant suffered from a higher risk of toxicity. The effect of UGT1A1*28 polymorphism on diarrhea was less than on neutropenia. Subgroup analysis exhibited that for UGT1A1*6 polymorphism, patients treated with low-dose irinotecan were at a notable risk of toxicity. Moreover, the association between UGT1A1*6 polymorphism and irinotecan-induced toxicity was found in patients suffering from respiratory system cancers. CONCLUSIONS: Both UGT1A1*6 and UGT1A1*28 polymorphisms can be considered as predictors of irinotecan-induced toxicity, with effect varying by race, cancer type and irinotecan dose.
