Low efficacy of recombinant SV40 in Ugt1a1-/- mice with severe inherited hyperbilirubinemia.

ABSTRACT: In contrast to AAV, Simian Virus 40 (rSV40) not inducing neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) allowing re-treatment seems a promising vector for neonatal treatment of inherited liver disorders. Several studies have reported efficacy of rSV40 in animal models for inherited liver diseases. In all studies the ubiquitous endogenous early promoter controlled transgene expression establishing expression in all transduced tissues. Restricting this expression to the target tissues reduces the risk of immune response to the therapeutic gene. In this study a liver specific rSV40 vector was generated by inserting a hepatocyte specific promoter. This increased the specificity of the expression of hUGT1A1 in vitro. However, in vivo the efficacy of rSV40 appeared too low to demonstrate tissue specificity while increasing the vector dose was not possible because of toxicity. In contrast to earlier studies, neutralizing antibodies were induced. Overall, the lack of a platform to produce high titered and pure rSV40 particles and the induction of NAbs, renders it a poor candidate for in vivo gene therapy.

A novel UGT1A1 gene mutation causing severe unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundCrigler-Najjar syndrome (CNs) presents as unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia, as a result of UGT1A1 deficiency, and can be categorized in a severe (type I) and mild (type II) phenotype. CNs type II patients usually benefit from phenobarbital treatment that induces residual UGT1A1 activity.Case presentationHere we present a CNs type II patient that is not responsive to phenobarbital treatment, which can be explained by two heterozygous mutations in the UGT1A1 gene. A 3 nucleotide insertion in the HNF-1α binding site in the proximal promoter previously reported in a Crigler-Najjar patient on one allele and a novel two nucleotide deletion in exon 1, resulting in a frameshift and a premature stop codon.ConclusionIn newly diagnosed CNs patients with unconjugated bilirubin levels consistent with CNs type II but that are unresponsive to phenobarbital treatment, disruption of the HNF-1α binding site in the proximal promoter should be considered as a probable cause. Upon confirming a mutation in the HNF-1α site, phenobarbital treatment should be stopped or at least be reconsidered because of its sedative effects and its teratogenic properties.

Gilbert or Crigler-Najjar syndrome? Neonatal severe unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia with P364L UGT1A1 homozygosity.

Project description:BackgroundSeveral mutations of bilirubin uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyltransferase gene (UGT1A1) have been reported in patients with unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia. Few reports are available about the p.Pro364Leu mutation (P364L, c.1091C > T) in homozygous newborns. We describe the clinical, laboratory and therapeutic approach in two Chinese neonates with severe jaundice, homozygous for the P364L mutation.Case presentationTwo Chinese breastfed female infants presented prolonged unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia at the age of 1 month. Total bilirubin was higher than 15 mg/dl (D < 1). An exhaustive etiological work-up to detect possible causes of hyperbilirubinemia (notably hemolytic ones) was negative. The promoter and coding regions of UGT1A1 were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from genomic DNA isolated from leukocytes. Both patients resulted homozygous for a variant site within the coding region of the gene in the 4 exon, c.1091C > T, p.Pro364Leu. In front of the persistently high level of unconjugated bilirubin, phototherapy was performed without persistent results. A treatment with phenobarbital was then begun and bilirubin level progressively decreased, with a complete and persistent normalization. The therapy was stopped.ConclusionUGT1A1 enzyme activity associated with the P364L mutation has been described as 35.6% of the wild-type enzyme activity. Photo-therapy and phenobarbital can be useful in front of persistently high level of unconjugated bilirubin. Our cases presented high bilirubin values, overlapping between Gilbert syndrome (GS) and Crigler-Najjar syndrome type II (CNS), but the complete normalization of bilirubin makes GS more likely. Homozygous P364L variant can be associated with severe neonatal unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia in Chinese infants, but jaundice can completely resolve in a few months, contrary to what happens in Crigler-Najjar syndrome type II.

Pazopanib-induced hyperbilirubinemia is associated with Gilbert's syndrome UGT1A1 polymorphism.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Pazopanib has shown clinical activity against multiple tumour types and is generally well tolerated. However, isolated elevations in transaminases and bilirubin have been observed. This study examined polymorphisms in molecules involved in pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic pathways of pazopanib and their association with hepatic dysfunction. METHODS: Twenty-eight polymorphisms in 11 genes were evaluated in pazopanib-treated renal cell carcinoma patients. An exploratory analysis was conducted in 116 patients from a phase II study; a replication study was conducted in 130 patients from a phase III study. RESULTS: No polymorphisms were associated with alanine aminotransferase elevation. The Gilbert's uridine-diphosphoglucuronate glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) TA-repeat polymorphism was significantly associated with pazopanib-induced hyperbilirubinemia in the phase II study. This association was replicated in the phase III study (P<0.01). Patients with TA6/TA6, TA6/TA7, and TA7/TA7 genotypes experienced median bilirubin increases of 0.31, 0.37, and 0.71 x upper limit of the normal range (ULN), respectively. Of the 38 patients with hyperbilirubinemia (> or = 1.5 x ULN), 32 (84%) were either TA7 homozygotes (n=18) or TA7 heterozygotes (n=14). For TA7 homozygotes, the odds ratio (95% CI) for developing hyperbilirubinemia was 13.1 (5.3-32.2) compared with other genotypes. CONCLUSIONS: The UGT1A1 polymorphism is frequently associated with pazopanib-induced hyperbilirubinemia. These data suggest that some instances of isolated hyperbilirubinemia in pazopanib-treated patients are benign manifestations of Gilbert's syndrome, thus supporting continuation of pazopanib monotherapy in this setting.

Reduced expression of UGT1A1 in intestines of humanized UGT1 mice via inactivation of NF-?B leads to hyperbilirubinemia.

Project description:Bilirubin is a natural and potent antioxidant that accumulates in the blood of newborn children and leads to physiological jaundice. Breastfed infants have higher serum levels of bilirubin than formula-fed infants and are at risk for bilirubin-induced neurological dysfunction (BIND). Clearance of bilirubin requires the expression of uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A1; we investigated its role in the association between breast feeding with jaundice in mice.We studied mice in which the original Ugt1 locus was disrupted and replaced with the human UGT1 locus (hUGT1 mice); these mice spontaneously develop neonatal hyperbilirubinemia and BIND. We fed human breast milk or formula to neonatal hUGT1 mice and examined activation of the intestinal xenobiotic receptors pregnane X receptor and constitutive androstane receptor. We also examined inflammatory signaling pathways in mice with disruptions in I?B-kinase-? and I?B kinase-? in the intestinal epithelium.hUGT1 mice that were fed breast milk developed severe hyperbilirubinemia because of suppression of UGT1A1 in the gastrointestinal tract. Formula-fed hUGT1 mice had lower serum levels of bilirubin, which resulted from induction of UGT1A1 in the gastrointestinal tract. hUGT1/Pxr-null mice did not develop severe hyperbilirubinemia, whereas hUGT1/Car-null mice were susceptible to BIND when they were fed breast milk. Breast milk appeared to suppress intestinal I?B kinase ? and ?, resulting in inactivation of nuclear factor-?B and loss of expression of UGT1A1, leading to hyperbilirubinemia.Breast milk reduces expression of intestinal UGT1A1, which leads to hyperbilirubinemia and BIND; suppression of this gene appears to involve inactivation of nuclear factor-?B. Hyperbilirubinemia can be reduced by activation of pregnane X receptor, constitutive androstane receptor, or nuclear factor-?B.

Profiling of UGT1A1*6, UGT1A1*60, UGT1A1*93, and UGT1A1*28 Polymorphisms in Indonesian Neonates With Hyperbilirubinemia Using Multiplex PCR Sequencing.

Project description:Background: Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) variants of the uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) gene have been studied as an important factor in neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (jaundice) severity. Specific ethnicities, including Asians, have certain SNPs that appear more frequently than others. Aim: To identify the most common SNPs in Indonesian neonates and their association with the severity of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. Methods: Eighty-eight inborn and outborn jaundiced infants from three different hospitals (Bengkulu, Jakarta, Biak Papua) across Indonesia were enrolled in this cross-sectional study and their peak total serum bilirubin (TSB) levels assessed. SNP variant analyses of the TATAA box, promoter, and exon 1 regions of UGT1A1 gene from 78 of the 88 infants were carried out using the SNaPshotR Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) System followed by DNA sequencing. Results: We detected SNP variants UGT1A1 * 28, UGT1A1 * 60, UGT1A1 * 93, and UGT1A1 * 6 in our population. Mean total serum bilirubin (TSB) was 14.59 ± 5.57 mg/dL. Bivariate analyses using delivery location, gestational age, birth weight, mother's age, and ethnicity were shown to be associated with moderate-to-severe hyperbilirubinemia (p < 0.05). None of the four SNPs appeared to be associated with moderate-to-severe hyperbilirubinemia. In multivariate analysis, however, only the "other ethnic group" (e.g., Chinese, Bengkulu, Papua, Bima) category showed an association with moderate-to-severe hyperbilirubinemia, with an odds ratio of 6.49 (95% CI 1.01-41.67; p < 0.05). Conclusions: We found that the UGT1A1 * 60 is the most common SNP detected in neonates with hyperbilirubinemia in the Indonesian population. Interestingly, in Indonesia, UGT1A1 polymorphisms do not appear to be associated with differences in the severity of hyperbilirubinemia.

UGT1A1 Genetic Variations and a Haplotype Associated with Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia in Indonesian Population.

Project description:Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (NH) is a common finding in newborn babies in Indonesia. Common and rare variants of UGT1A1 have been known to contribute to NH etiology. This study aims to identify UGT1A1 genetic variation and haplotype associated with NH in Indonesian population. DNA was isolated from 116 cases and 115 controls and a targeted-deep sequencing approach was performed on the promoter, UTRs, and exonic regions of UGT1A1. Determining association of common variants and haplotype analysis were performed using PLINK and Haploview. Ten and 4 rare variants were identified in cases and controls, respectively. The UGT1A1 rare variants frequency in cases (5.17%) was higher than that in controls (1.7%). Four of those rare variants in cases (p.Ala61Thr, p.His300Arg, p.Lys407Asn, and p.Tyr514Asn) and three in controls (p.Tyr79X, p.Ala346Val, and p.Thr412Ser) are novel variants. The frequencies of p.Gly71Arg, p.Pro229Gln, and TA7 common variants were not significantly different between cases and controls. A haplotype, consisting of 3 major alleles of 3' UTRs common variants (rs8330C>G, rs10929303C>T, and rs1042640C>G), was associated with NH incidence (p = 0.025) in this population. Using targeted-deep sequencing and haplotype analysis, we identified novel UGT1A1 rare variants and disease-associated haplotype in NH in Indonesian population.

Association of UGT1A1 variants and hyperbilirubinemia in breast-fed full-term Chinese infants.

Project description:A retrospective case control study of breast-fed full-term infants was carried out to determine whether variants in Uridine Diphosphate Glucuronosyl Transferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) and Heme Oxygenase-1 (HMOX1) were associated with neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. Eight genetic variants of UGT1A1 and 3 genetic variants of HMOX1 were genotyped in 170 hyperbilirubinemic newborns and 779 controls. Five significant associations with breast-fed hyperbilirubinemia were detected after adjusting for gender, birth season, birth weight, delivery mode, gestational age and False Discovery Rate (FDR) correction: the dominant effect of rs887829 (c-364t) (Odds Ratio (OR): 0.55; 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 0.34-0.89; p = 0.014), the additive effect of (TA)n repeat (OR: 0.59; 95%CI: 0.38-0.91; p = 0.017), the dominant effect of rs4148323 (Gly71Arg, G211A) (OR: 2.02; 95%CI: 1.44-2.85; p = 5.0×10-5), the recessive effect of rs6717546 (g+914a) (OR: 0.30; 95%CI: 0.11-0.83; p = 0.021) and rs6719561 (t+2558c) (OR: 0.38; 95%CI: 0.20-0.75; p = 0.005). Neonates carrying the minor allele of rs887829 (TA)n repeat had significantly lower peak bilirubin than wild types, while the minor allele carriers of rs4148323 had significantly higher peak bilirubin than wild types. No association was found in HMOX1. Our findings added to the understanding of the significance of UGT1A1 in association with neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in East Asian population. Additional studies were required to investigate the mechanisms of the protective effects.

Hyperbilirubinemia in atazanavir treated HIV-infected patients: the impact of the UGT1A1*28 allele.

Project description:Combination antiretroviral treatment (cART) has significantly improved the life expectancy of people living with HIV. The life-long nature of cART increases the risk of side effects, which in some cases may have been caused by specific genetic characteristics. Patients treated with atazanavir (ATV) boosted with ritonavir (rit), which is a protease inhibitor used for the treatment of HIV, present with elevated bilirubin levels, at high proportions. ATV/rit-related hyperbilirubinemia has been previously associated with genetic characteristics in uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) enzyme. The prevalence of the UGT1A1*28 variant, which is the most frequent polymorphism in the UGT1A1 superfamily, has been found to range between 9% and ~60% with the highest frequency in Africa. Pharmacokinetics for additional HIV drugs, such as the integrase inhibitors Raltegravir and Elvitegravir, has been also shown to be influenced by UGT1A1 polymorphisms. Pharmacogenetics/pharmacogenomics testing can be useful to identify a patient's susceptibility to drug toxicity and therefore to facilitate selection of the optimal long-term suppressive regimen.
