Project description:Although the Hispanic population is continuously growing in the United States, they are underrepresented in pharmacogenetic studies. This review addresses the need for compiling available pharmacogenetic data in US Hispanics, discussing the prevalence of clinically relevant polymorphisms in pharmacogenes encoding for drug-metabolizing enzymes. CYP3A5*3 (0.245-0.867) showed the largest frequency in a US Hispanic population. A higher prevalence of CYP2C9*3, CYP2C19*4, and UGT2B7 IVS1+985 A>G was observed in US Hispanic vs. non-Hispanic populations. We found interethnic and intraethnic variability in frequencies of genetic polymorphisms for metabolizing enzymes, which highlights the need to define the ancestries of participants in pharmacogenetic studies. New approaches should be integrated in experimental designs to gain knowledge about the clinical relevance of the unique combination of genetic variants occurring in this admixed population. Ethnic subgroups in the US Hispanic population may harbor variants that might be part of multiple causative loci or in linkage-disequilibrium with functional variants. Pharmacogenetic studies in Hispanics should not be limited to ascertain commonly studied polymorphisms that were originally identified in their parental populations. The success of the Personalized Medicine paradigm will depend on recognizing genetic diversity between and within US Hispanics and the uniqueness of their genetic backgrounds.

Project description:Detoxication, or 'drug-metabolizing', enzymes and drug transporters exhibit remarkable substrate promiscuity and catalytic promiscuity. In contrast to substrate-specific enzymes that participate in defined metabolic pathways, individual detoxication enzymes must cope with substrates of vast structural diversity, including previously unencountered environmental toxins. Presumably, evolution selects for a balance of 'adequate' kcat /KM values for a wide range of substrates, rather than optimizing kcat /KM for any individual substrate. However, the structural, energetic, and metabolic properties that achieve this balance, and hence optimize detoxication, are not well understood. Two features of detoxication enzymes that are frequently cited as contributions to promiscuity include the exploitation of highly reactive versatile cofactors, or cosubstrates, and a high degree of flexibility within the protein structure. This review examines these intuitive mechanisms in detail and clarifies the contributions of the classic ligand binding models 'induced fit' (IF) and 'conformational selection' (CS) to substrate promiscuity. The available literature data for drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters suggest that IF is exploited by these promiscuous detoxication enzymes, as it is with substrate-specific enzymes, but the detoxication enzymes uniquely exploit 'IFs' to retain a wide range of substrates at their active sites. In contrast, whereas CS provides no catalytic advantage to substrate-specific enzymes, promiscuous enzymes may uniquely exploit it to recruit a wide range of substrates. The combination of CS and IF, for recruitment and retention of substrates, can potentially optimize the promiscuity of drug metabolizing enzymes and drug transporters.

Project description:Phase I and II drug metabolizing enzymes (DME) and drug transporters are involved in the absorption, distribution, metabolism as well as elimination of many therapeutic agents, toxins and various pollutants. Presence of genetic polymorphisms in genes encoding these proteins has been associated with marked inter-individual variability in their activity that could result in variation in drug response, toxicity as well as in disease predisposition. The emergent field pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics (PGx) is a promising discipline, as it predicts disease risk, selection of proper medication with regard to response and toxicity, and appropriate drug dosage guidance based on an individual's genetic make-up. Consequently, genetic variations are essential to understand the ethnic differences in disease occurrence, development, prognosis, therapeutic response and toxicity. For that reason, it is necessary to establish the normative frequency of these genes in a particular population before unraveling the genotype-phenotype associations. Although a fair amount of allele frequency data are available in Indian populations, the existing pharmacogenetic data have not been compiled into a database. This review was intended to compile the normative frequency distribution of the variants of genes encoding DMEs (CYP450s, TPMT, GSTs, COMT, SULT1A1, NAT2 and UGTs) and transporter proteins (MDR1, OCT1 and SLCO1B1) with Indian perspective.

Project description:Background & aim: Genetic variability in drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) genes contributes to the high heterogeneity of drug responses. The present study investigated polymorphisms of ADME genes frequencies and compared the findings with populations from other continents, available in the 1000 Genome Project (1 KGP) and the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) databases. Methodology & results: We conducted a study of 100 patients in Brazil and a total of 2003 SNPs were evaluated by targeted next-generation sequencing in 148 genes, including Phase I enzymes (n = 50), Phase II enzymes (n = 38) and drug transporters (n = 60). Overall, the distribution of minor allele frequency (MAF) suggests that the distribution of 2003 SNPs is similar between Brazilian cohort, 1 KGP and ExAC; however, we found moderate SNP allele-frequency divergence between Brazilian cohort and both 1000 KGP and ExAC. These differences were observed in several relevant genes including CYP3A4, NAT2 and SLCO1B1. Conclusion: We concluded that the Brazilian population needs clinical assessment of drug treatment based on individual genotype rather than ethnicity.

Project description:The majority of phase I- and phase II-dependent drug metabolism is carried out by polymorphic enzymes which can cause abolished, quantitatively or qualitatively decreased or enhanced drug metabolism. Several examples exist where subjects carrying certain alleles do not benefit from drug therapy due to ultrarapid metabolism caused by multiple genes or by induction of gene expression or, alternatively, suffer from adverse effects of the drug treatment due to the presence of defective alleles. It is likely that future predictive genotyping for such enzymes might benefit 15-25% of drug treatments, and thereby allow prevention of adverse drug reactions and causalities, and thus improve the health of a significant fraction of the patients. However, it will take time before this will be a reality within the clinic. We describe some important aspects in the field with emphasis on cytochrome P450 and discuss also polymorphic aspects of foetal expression of CYP3A5 and CYP3A7.

Project description:Interindividual variability in the expression of drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters (DMETs) in human liver may contribute to interindividual differences in drug efficacy and adverse reactions. Published studies that analyzed variability in the expression of DMET genes were limited by sample sizes and the number of genes profiled. We systematically analyzed the expression of 374 DMETs from a microarray data set consisting of gene expression profiles derived from 427 human liver samples. The standard deviation of interindividual expression for DMET genes was much higher than that for non-DMET genes. The 20 DMET genes with the largest variability in the expression provided examples of the interindividual variation. Gene expression data were also analyzed using network analysis methods, which delineates the similarities of biological functionalities and regulation mechanisms for these highly variable DMET genes. Expression variability of human hepatic DMET genes may affect drug-gene interactions and disease susceptibility, with concomitant clinical implications.

Project description:The interindividual genetic variations in drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters influence the efficacy and toxicity of numerous drugs. As a fundamental element in precision medicine, pharmacogenomics, the study of responses of individuals to medication based on their genomic information, enables the evaluation of some specific genetic variants responsible for an individual's particular drug response. In this article, we review the contributions of genetic polymorphisms to major individual variations in drug pharmacotherapy, focusing specifically on the pharmacogenomics of phase-I drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters. Substantial frequency differences in key variants of drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters, as well as their possible functional consequences, have also been discussed across geographic regions. The current effort illustrates the common presence of variability in drug responses among individuals and across all geographic regions. This information will aid health-care professionals in prescribing the most appropriate treatment aimed at achieving the best possible beneficial outcomes while avoiding unwanted effects for a particular patient.

Project description:BackgroundWilson's disease is a genetic disorder inherited in a recessive manner, caused by mutations in the copper-transporter ATP7B. Although it is a well-known disease, currently available treatments are far from satisfactory and their efficacy varies in individual patients. Due to the lack of information about drug-metabolizing enzymes and drug transporters profile in Wilson's disease livers, we aimed to evaluate the mRNA expression and protein abundance of selected enzymes and drug transporters in this liver disorder.MethodsWe analyzed gene expression (qPCR) and protein abundance (LC-MS/MS) of 14 drug-metabolizing enzymes and 16 drug transporters in hepatic tissue from Wilson's disease patients with liver failure (n = 7, Child-Pugh class B and C) and metastatic control livers (n = 20).ResultsIn presented work, we demonstrated a downregulation of majority of CYP450 and UGT enzymes. Gene expression of analyzed enzymes ranged between 18 and 65% compared to control group and significantly lower protein content of CYP1A1, CYP1A2, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 enzymes was observed in Wilson's disease. Moreover, a general decrease in hepatocellular uptake carriers from SLC superfamily (significant at protein level for NTCP and OATP2B1) was observed. As for ABC transporters, the protein abundance of BSEP and MRP2 was significantly lower, while levels of P-gp and MRP4 transporters were significantly higher in Wilson's disease.ConclusionsAltered hepatic expression of drug-metabolizing enzymes and drug transporters in Wilson's disease patients with liver failure may result in changes of drug pharmacokinetics in that group of patients.

Project description:Rasagiline is a selective and irreversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase type B with neuroprotective effect, indicated for the management of Parkinson's disease. The aim of this work was to evaluate the impact of seven CYP1A2 alleles and of 120 additional variants located in other CYP enzymes (e.g., CYP2C19), UGT enzymes (e.g., UGT1A1) or other enzymes (e.g., NAT2), and transporters (e.g., SLCO1B1) on the pharmacokinetic variability and safety of rasagiline. A total of 118 healthy volunteers enrolled in four bioequivalence clinical trials consented to participate in this pharmacogenetic study. CYP1A2 alleles were not associated with the pharmacokinetic variability of rasagiline. Patients with ABCB1 rs1045642 G/A+A/A genotypes presented higher area under the curve adjusted by dose per weight (AUC0-∞/DW) than those with the G/G genotype (p = 0.012) and lower volume of distribution (Vd/F) and clearance (Cl/F) (p = 0.001 and p = 0.012, respectively). Subjects with the ABCC2 rs2273697 A/A genotype presented lower tmax (i.e., the time to reach the maximum concentration, Cmax) compared to those with G/G+G/A genotypes (p = 0.001). Volunteers with the SLC22A1 *1/*5 genotype exhibited lower Cmax/DW and higher tmax (p = 0.003 and p = 0.018, respectively) than subjects with the *1/*1 diplotype. Only one adverse drug reaction was reported: headache. Our results suggest the genetic polymorphism of drug transporters, rather than metabolizing enzymes, conditions the pharmacokinetics of rasagiline.
