Relationship of hemoglobin level and plasma coproporphyrin-I concentrations as an endogenous probe for phenotyping OATP1B.


ABSTRACT: Plasma coproporphyrin-I (CP-I) concentration is used as a sensitive and selective endogenous probe for phenotyping organic anion transporting polypeptides 1B (OATP1B) activity in many studies. CP-I is produced in the process of heme synthesis, but the relationship between plasma CP-I concentrations and heme synthesis activity is unknown. In this study, we evaluated the relationship between plasma CP-I concentration and hemoglobin level as a biomarker of heme synthesis activity. The data of 391 subjects selected from the Japanese general population were analyzed. One hundred twenty-six participants had OATP1B1*15 allele, 11 of whom were homozygous (OATP1B1*15/*15). Multiple regression analysis identified hemoglobin level as an independent variable associated with plasma CP-I concentration (p < 0.0001). A significant positive correlation was observed between hemoglobin level and plasma CP-I concentration in participants without OATP1B1*15 allele (n = 265; rs  = 0.35, p < 0.0001) and with OATP1B1*15 allele (n = 126; rs  =0.27, p = 0.0022). However, Kruskal-Wallis test showed no large difference in Kruskal-Wallis statistics between the distribution of plasma CP-I concentrations and that of ratio of plasma CP-I to hemoglobin among six OATP1B1 polymorphism groups. These findings suggest that the hemoglobin level seems to reflect biosynthesis of CP-I. However, correction by hemoglobin level is not required when using basal plasma CP-I concentration for phenotyping OATP1B activity.
