Polymorphisms within methotrexate pathway genes: Relationship between plasma methotrexate levels, toxicity experienced and outcome in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

ABSTRACT: Objectives:The current study aimed to investigate the relationship of genetic polymorphism and plasma methotrexate (MTX) levels, toxicity experience and event free survival (EFS) in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Materials and Methods:The study included 74 ALL patients. Polymerase chain reaction and genotyping of methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) rs1801133, MTHFR rs1801131, ATP-binding cassette superfamily B1 (ABCB1) rs1045642, ATP-binding cassette superfamily G2 (ABCG2) rs2231142 and solute carrier 19A1 (SLC19A1) rs1051266 genetic variations were performed. The plasma MTX levels were investigated at 48 hr after the first dose of MTX infusion. Results:MTHFR rs1801133 TT genotype, ABCBa1 rs1045642 CT genotype and ABCG2 rs2231142 CA genotype revealed a statistically significant association with the MTX plasma levels (P<0.01, P<0.05, P<0.05, respectively). The MTHFR rs1801133 TT genotype had a statistically significant association with hematopoietic toxicity (P<0.01) and interventions (P<0.05). The MTHFR rs1801131 AC genotype was related to the decreased hepatic toxicity (P<0.05). The SLC19A1 rs 1051266 GA genotype was related to the increased hepatic toxicity (P<0.05). Only the ABCB1 rs1045642 CT and TT genotypes had a statistically significant correlation with EFS (P<0.05, P<0.05, respectively). Conclusion:Our findings showed that genetic polymorphism could be associated with plasma MTX levels, toxicity experienced and EFS in Iranian pediatric ALL.

Project description:ObjectivesIt is well known that transporter and enzyme genes could be regulated by microRNA (miRNA) at the post-transcriptional level, and single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in miRNA, which are involved in the miRNA production and structure, may impact the miRNA expression level and then influence drug transport and metabolism. In this study, we aim to evaluate the association between miRNA polymorphisms and high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) hematological toxicities in Chinese pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).MethodA total of 181 children with ALL were administered with 654 evaluable cycles of HD-MTX. Their hematological toxicities were evaluated according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v5. The association between 15 candidate SNPs of miRNA and hematological toxicities (leukopenia, anemia, and thrombocytopenia) was analyzed using Fisher's exact test. Further multiple backward logistic regression analysis was used to explore the independent risk factors for grade 3/4 hematological toxicities.ResultRs2114358 G>A in pre-hsa-miR-1206 was related to HD-MTX-related grade 3/4 leukopenia after multiple logistic regression [GA + AA vs. GG: odds ratio (OR): 2.308, 95% CI: 1.219-4.372, P = 0.010], and rs56103835 T > C in pre-hsa-mir-323b was associated with HD-MTX-related grade 3/4 anemia (TT + TC vs. CC: OR: 0.360, 95% CI: 0.239-0.541, P = 0.000); none of the SNPs were significantly associated with grade 3/4 thrombocytopenia. Bioinformatics tools predicted that rs2114358 G>A and rs56103835 T>C would impact the secondary structure of pre-miR-1206 and pre-miR-323b, respectively, and then probably influence the expression level of mature miRNAs and their target genes.ConclusionRs2114358 G>A and rs56103835 T>C polymorphism may potentially influence HD-MTX-related hematological toxicities, which may serve as candidate clinical biomarkers to predict grade 3/4 hematological toxicities in pediatric patients with ALL.

Project description:BackgroundAcute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common malignancy in children, and methotrexate (MTX) is the key drug for ALL. Studies on the relationship between High-Dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) toxicity and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T and A1298C genes have drawn different conclusions. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the polymorphism of MTHFR C677T and A1298C genes and the toxicity responses of MTX.MethodsThe MTHFR C677T and A1298C genotypes of 271 children with ALL who received HD-MTX chemotherapy in southern China from September 2017 to June 2021 were analyzed, and the toxicity of HD-MTX was evaluated and analyzed according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) 5.0.ResultsThe MTHFR C677T and A1298C gene polymorphisms were not correlated with the 48-hour MTX blood concentrations (P>0.05). Unconditional logistic regression model analysis also revealed that the risk of liver function impairment [odds ratio (OR) =1.656, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.179-2.324, P<0.05] and mucosal damage (OR =1.508, 95% CI: 1.042-2.183, P<0.05) were 1.656 and 1.508 times higher for the heterozygous mutant (CT), and homozygous mutant (TT) mutant type than for the wild-type (CC), wild-type, respectively. The risk of neutropenia and liver function impairment were 0.498 (OR =0.498, 95% CI: 0.251-0.989, P<0.05) and 6.067 (OR =6.067, 95% CI: 1.183-31.102, P<0.05) times higher in low-risk children with CT+TT mutant genotypes than in those with CC wild genotypes, respectively. Furthermore, the risk of mucosal damage was 1.906 times higher in high-risk children with the CT+TT genotype than in those with the CC genotype (OR =1.906, 95% CI: 1.033-3.518, P<0.05). The MTHFR A1298C genotypes differed in the incidence of liver function damage and gastrointestinal toxic reactions in children with ALL. Nonetheless, no increased risk of liver function impairment nor gastrointestinal reactions in children with the heterozygous mutant (AC)+CC mutation was observed.ConclusionsAdvancements in MTHFR genotype testing in children with ALL and the introduction of personalised treatments based on genotype results during HD-MTX chemotherapy will help to predict, prevent, and reduce the occurrence of adverse MTX-related toxic reactions.
