Paraoxonase (PON1 and PON3) Polymorphisms: Impact on Liver Expression and Atorvastatin-Lactone Hydrolysis.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Atorvastatin ?-lactone, a major, pharmacologically inactive metabolite, has been associated with toxicity. In a previous study we showed that polymorphisms of UGT1A3 influence atorvastatin ?-lactone formation. Here we investigated the reverse reaction, atorvastatin ?-lactone hydrolysis, in a human liver bank. Screening of microarray data revealed paraoxonases PON1 and PON3 among 17 candidate esterases. Microsomal ?-lactone hydrolysis was significantly correlated to PON1 and PON3 protein (r(s)?=?0.60; r(s)?=?0.62, respectively; P??C, -832G?>?A, -1741G?>?A) and a tightly linked group of PON3 polymorphisms (-4984A?>?G, -4105G?>?A, -1091A?>?G, -746C?>?T, and F21F) to be associated with changes in atorvastatin ?-lactone hydrolysis and expression of PON1 but not PON3. However, carriers of the common PON1 polymorphisms L55M or Q192R showed no difference in ?-lactone hydrolysis or PON expression. Haplotype analysis revealed decreased ?-lactone hydrolysis in carriers of the most common haplotype *1 compared to carriers of haplotypes *2, *3, *4, and *7. Analysis of non-genetic factors showed association of hepatocellular and cholangiocellular carcinoma with decreased PON1 and PON3 expression, respectively. Increased C-reactive protein and ?-glutamyl transferase levels were associated with decreased protein expression of both enzymes, and increased bilirubin levels, cholestasis, and presurgical exposure to omeprazole or pantoprazole were related to decreased PON3 protein. In conclusion, PON-locus polymorphisms affect PON1 expression whereas non-genetic factors have an effect on PON1 and PON3 expression. This may influence response to therapy or adverse events in statin treatment.
