Rapid and sensitive detection of UGT1A1 polymorphisms associated with irinotecan toxicity by a novel DNA microarray.

ABSTRACT: Recent developments in the field of human genomics have greatly enhanced the potential for precision and personalized medicine. We have developed a novel DNA microarray, using a 3-mm square chip coated with diamond-like carbon to enhance the signal-to-background ratio, for use as an in vitro diagnostic tool in precision medicine. To verify the genotyping effectiveness of this newly developed DNA microarray we examined UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) polymorphisms in DNA extracted from patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. It is established that the polymorphisms of UGT1A1*28 and UGT1A1*6 are significantly associated with severe toxicity induced by the anti-cancer drug irinotecan. For each sample, the results obtained with the novel microarray platform were compared with those obtained using other, more established, methods, including direct sequencing and the Invader assay. The polymorphisms tested included a single nucleotide substitution (UGT1A1*6) and a TA-repeat polymorphism (UGT1A1*28), both of which were detected simultaneously and accurately using our method. Moreover, our method required 1.5-fold less time to assay and 20-fold less sample than those required by the Invader assay. In summary, our newly developed DNA microarray is more practical than established methods, and is at least as accurate; this will increase the efficiency of polymorphism detection prior to diagnosis and the commencement of treatment, and can feasibly be applied in precision medicine.

Project description:BackgroundInitial dose adjustment is recommended for patients with known UGT1A1∗28 homozygosity for both conventional irinotecan and liposomal irinotecan (nal-IRI). A recent population pharmacokinetic (PK) study showed that Asian patients had a lower prevalence of UGT1A1∗28 homozygosity but a significantly higher maximum blood concentration of SN-38 (SN-38 Cmax) and a higher incidence of grade ≥3 neutropenia after nal-IRI administration than Caucasian patients. The current study investigated the association of UGT1A1 polymorphisms, including the Asian prevalent UGT1A1∗6, PK and toxicities of nal-IRI-based therapy in the Asian population.Patients and methodsA total of 162 patients with nal-IRI-based therapy and available UGT1A1∗6 and UGT1A1∗28 genotyping were included, with 82 Asian patients from six previous phase I or II studies of nal-IRI (cohort 1) and another 80 patients with nal-IRI + 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin every 2 weeks as real-world practice in a single institute in Taiwan (cohort 2).ResultsThe frequency of UGT1A1∗6 or UGT1A1∗28 homozygosity/compound heterozygosity was 9.3%, with UGT1A1∗6/∗6 in 2.5%, UGT1A1∗28/∗28 in 1.9% and UGT1A1∗6/∗28 in 4.9%. Among the 53 patients in cohort 1 with available PK data, all 7 patients with homozygosity/compound heterozygosity harbored UGT1A1∗6 and had a significantly higher level of median dose-normalized area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) and Cmax of SN-38 than those with single heterozygosity/wild type. Of the entire study population, the incidence of grade ≥3 neutropenia and diarrhea was significantly higher in patients with homozygosity/compound heterozygosity than in those with single heterozygosity/wild type, 73.3% versus 38.1% (P = 0.012, Fisher's exact test) and 33.3% versus 9.5% (P = 0.018, Fisher's exact test), respectively.ConclusionThe results suggest that the recommendation of a lower starting dose of nal-IRI for patients with UGT1A1∗28 homozygosity should be extended to include patients with UGT1A1∗6 homozygosity/compound heterozygosity.

Project description:BackgroundIrinotecan (CPT11) is an important drug for small cell lung cancer (SCLC) chemotherapy (CTx). UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) polymorphisms can influence CPT11-related toxicity. This study aimed to assess prevalence of UGT1A1 polymorphisms and their association with clinical outcomes in patients with SCLC on CPT11-CTx.MethodsAn observational cohort of treatment-naïve patients with SCLC was given CPT11-platinum doublet at a referral center in North India over 3 years. Clinical outcomes assessed were hematological and gastrointestinal toxicity (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 3.0), response rates (RECIST), and overall survival (OS). Peripheral blood was drawn from all enrolled patients just prior to CPT11-CTx initiation, and genomic DNA was isolated. Genotyping was done by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-restriction fragment length polymorphism for UGT1A1*7, UGT1A1*6, and UGT1A1*27 and by PCR-DNA sequencing for UGT1A1*28. Patients were classified as homozygous wild-type (WT/WT), heterozygous mutant (WT/M), or homozygous mutant (M/M) for each polymorphism assessed.ResultsOf 140 patients enrolled, no mutant alleles were found for UGT1A1*27 or UGT1A1*7. Frequency of UGT1A1*6 polymorphisms (n = 111) was 89.2% for WT/WT, 8.1% for WT/M, and 2.7% for M/M. For UGT1A1*28 (n = 102), this was 41.2% for WT/WT, 43.1% for WT/M, and 15.7% for M/M. UGT1A1*6 WT/WT patients tolerated >95% predicted CPT11 dose more frequently (59.6% vs. 25.0% in WT/M-M/M combined group; p = .026). The UGT1A1*6 WT/M-M/M group also experienced severe (grade ≥3) diarrhea (41.7% vs. 17.2% in WT/WT; p = .044) and mucositis (41.7% vs. 8.1% in WT/WT; p = .005) more frequently. On multivariate logistic regression analysis, UGT1A1*6 WT/M-M/M status was the only variable associated with occurrence of both mucositis (odds ratio [OR], 10.4) and severe diarrhea (OR, 4.8). UGT1A1*28 WT/M-M/M patients had better OS (320 days [95% confidence interval, 203-437] vs. 216 days [95% confidence interval, 140-292] in WT/WT group; p = .047). On multivariate Cox proportional hazards analysis, UGT1A1*28 WT/M-M/M status was independently associated with better OS (hazard ratio, 0.35), whereas lack of objective radiological response, moderate/heavy smoking, and increasing age were associated with worse OS.ConclusionUGT1A1*6 and UGT1A1*28 polymorphisms were associated with increased gastrointestinal toxicity and improved OS, respectively, in North Indian patients with SCLC receiving CPT11-CTx.Implications for practiceUGT1A1 gene polymorphisms are known to influence irinotecan-related toxicity. In this prospective cohort study of patients with small cell lung cancer receiving first-line irinotecan-platinum chemotherapy, the prevalence of UGT1A1*6 polymorphisms was found to be 10.8% UGT1A1*6 and 58.8% UGT1A1*28 homo/heterozygous mutant, respectively. UGT1A1*6 homo/heterozygous mutant status was associated with severe diarrhea and mucositis. UGT1A1*28 homo/heterozygous mutant status was independently associated with improved overall survival.
