Quantitative assessment of the effect of cytochrome P450 2C9 gene polymorphism and colorectal cancer.

ABSTRACT: CYP2C9 enzyme activity is involved in the metabolism of substances related to colorectal cancer (CRC), and it is functionally linked to a genetic polymorphism. Two allelic variants of the CYP2C9 gene, namely CYP2C9*2 and CYP2C9*3, differ from wild-type CYP2C9*1 by single amino acid substitutions. These mutated alleles encode enzymes with altered properties that are associated with impaired metabolism. In the past decade, a number of case-control studies have been carried out to investigate the relationship between the CYP2C9 polymorphism and CRC susceptibility, but the results were conflicting. To investigate this inconsistency, we performed a meta-analysis of 13 studies involving a total of 20,879 subjects for CYP2C9*2 and *3 polymorphisms to evaluate the effect of CYP2C9 on genetic susceptibility for CRC. Overall, the summary odds ratio of CRC was 0.94 (95%CI: 0.87-1.03, P?=?0.18) and 1.00 (95%CI: 0.86-1.16, P?=?0.99) for CYP2C9 *2 and *3 carriers, respectively. No significant results were observed in heterozygous and homozygous when compared with wild genotype for these polymorphisms. In the stratified analyses according to ethnicity, sample size, diagnostic criterion, HWE status and sex, no evidence of any gene-disease association was obtained. Our result suggest that the *2, *3 polymorphisms of CYP2C9 gene are not associated with CRC susceptibility.

Project description:The human CYP2C9 plays a crucial role in the metabolic clearance of a wide range of clinical therapeutics. The *2 allele is a prevalent genetic variation in CYP2C9 that is found in various populations. A marked reduction of catalytic activity toward many important drug substrates has been demonstrated by CYP2C9*2, which represents an amino acid variation at position 144 from arginine to cysteine. The crystal structure of CYP2C9*2 in complex with an antihypertensive drug losartan was solved using X-ray crystallography at 3.1-Å resolution. The Arg144Cys variation in the *2 complex disrupts the hydrogen-bonding interactions that were observed between the side chain of arginine and neighboring residues in the losartan complex of CYP2C9 and the wild-type (WT) ligand-free structure. The conformation of several secondary structural elements is affected, thereby altering the binding and orientation of drug and important amino acid side chains in the distal active site cavity. The new structure revealed distinct interactions of losartan in the compact active site of CYP2C9*2 and differed in occupancy at the other binding sites previously identified in the WT-losartan complex. Furthermore, the binding studies in solution using losartan illustrated lower activity of the CYP2C9*2 compared with the WT. Together, the findings yield valuable insights into the decreased hydroxylation activity of losartan in patients carrying CYP2C9*2 allele and provide a useful framework to investigate the effect of a single-nucleotide polymorphism that leads to altered metabolism of diverse drug substrates. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: The *2 allele of the human drug-metabolizing enzyme CYP2C9 is found in different populations and results in significantly reduced activity toward various drug substrates. How the CYP2C9*2 variant induces altered drug metabolism is poorly understood given that the Arg144Cys variation is located far away from the active site. This work yield insight into the effect of distal variation using multitude of techniques that include X-ray crystallography, isothermal titration calorimetry, enzymatic characterization, and computational studies.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Cytochrome P450 (CYPs) are heme proteins involved in the metabolism of a variety of endogenous and exogenous substances and play an important role in the carcinogenesis mechanisms of environmental and hereditary factors. The objective of this study was to investigate how polymorphisms of CYPs correlate with lung cancer (LC) susceptibility. METHODS:Six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were genotyped in this study. The chi-square test and unconditional logistic regression model were used to evaluate the correlation between SNPs and LC susceptibility. The expressions and survival data of genes in patients with LC were mined using Oncomine and Kaplan-Meier Plotter database. RESULTS:Four SNPs were found to be significantly associated with the risk of LC development (P < 0.05). The most significant correlation was that the A allele and AA genotype of CYP2D6 rs1065852 were associated with increased risk of LC development (adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 1.35, 95% confidence interval [95%CI] = 1.13-1.60, P = 9.04e-4; OR = 1.83, 95%CI = 1.29-2.59, P = 0.001 respectively). Similar association of this variant was also found in the subgroups of male patients, cases in III-IV stages, positive lymph node, squamous cell carcinomas and adenocarcinomas. Whereas rs1065852 was considered as protective factor in females (adjusted OR = 0.33, 95% CI = 0.16-0.70, P = 0.004). In stratified analyses, the association of CYP24A1 rs2762934, CYP24A1 rs6068816, CYP20A1 rs2043449 polymorphism with LC risk appeared stronger in some subgroups. CYP2D6, CYP24A1 and CYP20A1 are overexpressed in some pathological types of LC (P < 0.05), and high levels of CYP2D6 and CYP20A1 indicate poor and good prognosis of LC, respectively. CONCLUSION:This study revealed that rs1065852, rs2043449, rs2762s934, and rs6068816 of CYPs were associated with LC susceptibility in the Northwestern Chinese Han population; CYP2D6 and CYP20A1 were overexpressed and correlated with prognosis of LC.
