CYP3A-status is associated with blood concentration and dose-requirement of tacrolimus in heart transplant recipients

ABSTRACT: High inter-individual variability in tacrolimus clearance is attributed to genetic polymorphisms of CYP3A enzymes. However, due to CYP3A phenoconversion induced by non-genetic factors, continuous changes in tacrolimus-metabolizing capacity entail frequent dose-refinement for optimal immunosuppression. In heart transplant recipients, the contribution of patients’ CYP3A-status (CYP3A5 genotype and CYP3A4 expression) to tacrolimus blood concentration and dose-requirement was evaluated in the early and late post-operative period. In low CYP3A4 expressers carrying CYP3A5*3/*3, the dose-corrected tacrolimus level was significantly higher than in normal CYP3A4 expressers or in those with CYP3A5*1. Modification of the initial tacrolimus dose was required for all patients: dose reduction by 20% for low CYP3A4 expressers, a 40% increase for normal expressers and a 2.4-fold increase for CYP3A5*1 carriers. The perioperative high-dose corticosteroid therapy was assumed to ameliorate the low initial tacrolimus-metabolizing capacity during the first month. The fluctuation of CYP3A4 expression and tacrolimus blood concentration (C0/D) was found to be associated with tapering and cessation of corticosteroid in CYP3A5 non-expressers, but not in those carrying CYP3A5*1. Although monitoring of tacrolimus blood concentration cannot be omitted, assaying recipients’ CYP3A-status can guide optimization of the initial tacrolimus dose, and can facilitate personalized tacrolimus therapy during steroid withdrawal in the late post-operative period.

Composite CYP3A phenotypes influence tacrolimus dose-adjusted concentration in lung transplant recipients.

Project description:ObjectivesInterpatient variability in tacrolimus pharmacokinetics is attributed to metabolism by cytochrome P-450 3A4/5 isoenzymes (encoded by CYP3A4 and CYP3A5). Guidelines for adjusting tacrolimus based on CYP3A5 test results are published; however, CYP3A4 variants also contribute to the variability in tacrolimus pharmacokinetics. The effects of composite phenotypes incorporating CYP3A5 and CYP3A4 increased (*1G, *1B) and decreased (*22) function variants have not been evaluated. The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of both increased and decreased function CYP3A variants on weight and dose-adjusted tacrolimus concentration (C0/D).MethodsWe performed a single-center retrospective cohort study of lung transplant recipients to evaluate the median tacrolimus C0/D by composite CYP3A phenotype groups during the index transplant hospitalization. CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 alleles were used to classify patients into four CYP3A groups from least to most CYP3A activity. Exploratory analyses of ABCB1 and additional candidate genes were also assessed.ResultsOf the 92 included individuals, most (58) were CYP3A Group 2. The median tacrolimus C0/D differed significantly between CYP3A groups (P = 0.0001). CYP3A Group 2 median tacrolimus C0/D was 190.5 (interquartile range: 147.6-267.5) (ng/ml)/(mg/kg/d) and significantly higher than Group 4 [107.9 (90.4-116.1), P = 0.0001)]. Group 2 median tacrolimus C0/D did not significantly differ from Group 1 and Group 3 [373.5 (149.2-490.3) and 81.4 (62.6-184.1), respectively]. No significant differences in tacrolimus C0/D were found for the ABCB1 diplotypes.ConclusionThese data indicate that a composite CYP3A phenotype incorporating both increase and decrease variant information from CYP3A4 in addition to CYP3A5 may significantly influence tacrolimus C0/D during the early postoperative period.

Effects of Wuzhi Capsules on Blood Concentration of Tacrolimus in Renal Transplant Recipients.

Project description:BACKGROUND Tacrolimus is a widely used immunosuppressant in renal transplant recipients. It was demonstrated in rats and healthy volunteers that Wuzhi capsules could inhibit metabolism and maintain blood concentration of tacrolimus. However, there are no clinical studies of Wuzhi capsules in renal transplant recipients. This research aimed to assess the effect of Wuzhi capsules on the blood concentration of tacrolimus in renal transplant recipients. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 158 Chinese renal transplant recipients receiving tacrolimus with or without Wuzhi capsules were included in this retrospective study. The cohort study included 126 recipients, with 86 recipients receiving Wuzhi capsules (WZCs) and the other 40 recipients not receiving WZCs. Another 32 recipients were involved in a self-control study. RESULTS Dose- and body weight-adjusted trough concentrations (C0/D/W) of tacrolimus in the WZC group were found to be significantly higher than that in the non-WZC group (P<0.05). The improvement of C0/D/W by administration of Wuzhi capsules was more significant in CYP3A5 expressers than in non-expressers following subgroup analysis. Furthermore, the WZC group had a remarkably higher proportion of subjects who reached target tacrolimus concentration than in the non-WZC group, both in CYP3A5 expressers (P=0.01) and non-expressers (P<0.001). Multiple linear regression analysis and self-control analysis confirmed the positive impact of Wuzhi capsules on tacrolimus concentration (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Wuzhi capsules can increase tacrolimus trough concentration without adverse effects on allograft function, especially in CYP3A5 expressers. Efficient and convenient immunosuppressive effects on renal transplant recipients can be achieved by treatment including administration of Wuzhi capsules.

Monitoring the tacrolimus concentration in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of kidney transplant recipients.

Project description:AimsTacrolimus is a critical dose drug and to avoid under- and overexposure, therapeutic drug monitoring is standard practice. However, rejection and drug-related toxicity occur despite whole-blood tacrolimus pre-dose concentrations ([Tac]blood ) being on target. Monitoring tacrolimus concentrations at the target site (within peripheral blood mononuclear cells; [Tac]cells ) may better correlate with drug-efficacy. The aim of this study was to (1) investigate the relationship between [Tac]blood and [Tac]cells , (2) identify factors affecting the tacrolimus distribution in cells and whole-blood, and (3) study the relationship between [Tac]cells and clinical outcomes after kidney transplantation.MethodsA total of 175 renal transplant recipients were prospectively followed. [Tac]blood and [Tac]cells were determined at Months 3, 6 and 12 post-transplantation. Patients were genotyped for ABCB1 1199G>A and 3435C>T, CYP3A4 15389C>T, and CYP3A5 6986G>A. Data on rejection and tacrolimus-related nephrotoxicity and post-transplant diabetes mellitus were collected.ResultsCorrelations between [Tac]blood and [Tac]cells were moderate to poor (Spearman's r = 0.31; r = 0.41; r = 0.61 at Months 3, 6 and 12, respectively). The [Tac]cells /[Tac]blood ratio was stable over time in most patients (median intra-patient variability 39.0%; range 3.5%-173.2%). Age, albumin and haematocrit correlated with the [Tac]cells /[Tac]blood ratio. CYP3A5 and CYP3A4 genotype combined affected both dose-corrected [Tac]blood and [Tac]cells . ABCB1 was not significantly related to tacrolimus distribution. Neither [Tac]blood nor [Tac]cells correlated with clinical outcomes.ConclusionsThe correlation between [Tac]blood and [Tac]cells is poor. Age, albumin and haematocrit correlate with the [Tac]cells /[Tac]blood ratio, whereas genetic variation in ABCB1, CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 do not. Neither [Tac]blood nor [Tac]cells correlated with clinical outcomes.

IL-3 and CTLA4 gene polymorphisms may influence the tacrolimus dose requirement in Chinese kidney transplant recipients.

Project description:The highly variable pharmacokinetics and narrow therapeutic window of tacrolimus (TAC) has hampered its clinical use. Genetic polymorphisms may contribute to the variable response, but the evidence is not compelling, and the explanation is unclear. In this study we attempted to find previously unknown genetic factors that may influence the TAC dose requirements. The association of 105 pathway-related single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with TAC dose-adjusted concentrations (C0/D) was examined at 7, 30 and 90 d post-operation in 382 Chinese kidney transplant recipients. In CYP3A5 non-expressers, the patients carrying the IL-3 rs181781 AA genotype showed a significantly higher TAC logC0/D than those with the AG genotype at 30 and 90 d post-operation (AA vs AG, 2.21±0.06 vs 2.01±0.03, P=0.004; and 2.17±0.06 vs 2.03±0.03, P=0.033, respectively), and than those with the GG genotype at 30 d (AA vs GG, 2.21±0.06 vs 2.04±0.03, P =0.011). At 30 d, the TAC logC0/D in the grouped AG+GG genotypes of CTLA4 rs4553808 was significantly lower than that in the AA genotype (P =0.041) in CYP3A5 expressers, but it was higher (P=0.008) in the non-expressers. We further validated the influence of CYP3A5 rs776746, CYP3A4 rs2242480 and rs4646437 on the TAC C0/D; other candidate SNPs were not associated with the differences in TAC C0/D. In conclusion, genetic polymorphisms in the immune genes IL-3 rs181781 and CTLA4 rs4553808 may influence the TAC C0/D. They may, together with CYP3A5 rs776746, CYP3A4 rs2242480 and rs4646437, contribute to the variation in TAC dose requirements. When conducting individualized therapy with tacrolimus, these genetic factors should be taken into account.

Plasma metabolomic profiling reveals factors associated with dose-adjusted trough concentration of tacrolimus in liver transplant recipients.

Project description:Inter- and intrapatient variability of tacrolimus exposure is a vital prognostic risk factor for the clinical outcome of liver transplantation. New factors or biomarkers characterizing tacrolimus disposition is essential for optimal dose prediction in recipients of liver transplant. The aim of the study was to identify potential plasma metabolites associated with the dose-adjusted trough concentration of tacrolimus in liver transplant recipients by using a global metabolomic approach. A total of 693 plasma samples were collected from 137 liver transplant recipients receiving tacrolimus and regular therapeutic drug monitoring. Untargeted metabolomic analysis was performed by ultraperformance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Univariate and multivariate analyses with a mixed linear model were conducted, and the results showed that the dose-adjusted tacrolimus trough concentration was associated with 31 endogenous metabolites, including medium- and long-chain acylcarnitines such as stearoylcarnitine (β = 0.222, p = 0.001), microbiota-derived uremic retention solutes such as indolelactic acid (β = 0.194, p = 0.007), bile acids such as taurohyodeoxycholic acid (β = -0.056, p = 0.002), and steroid hormones such as testosterone (β = 0.099, p = 0.001). A multiple linear mixed model including 11 metabolites and clinical information was established with a suitable predictive performance (correlation coefficient based on fixed effects = 0.64 and correlation coefficient based on fixed and random effects = 0.78). These data demonstrated that microbiota-derived uremic retention solutes, bile acids, steroid hormones, and medium- and long-chain acylcarnitines were the main metabolites associated with the dose-adjusted trough concentration of tacrolimus in liver transplant recipients.

Monitoring the Intracellular Tacrolimus Concentration in Kidney Transplant Recipients with Stable Graft Function.

Project description:Although monitoring the intracellular concentration of immunosuppressive agents may be a promising approach to individualizing the therapy after organ transplantation, additional studies on this issue are needed prior to its clinical approval. We investigated the relationship between intracellular and whole blood concentrations of tacrolimus (IC-TAC and WB-TAC, respectively), the factors affecting this relationship, and the risk of rejection based upon IC-TAC in stable kidney recipients. Both IC-TAC and WB-TAC were measured simultaneously in 213 kidney recipients with stable graft function using LC-MS/MS. The tacrolimus ratio was defined as IC-TAC per WB-TAC. The genetic polymorphism of ABCB1 gene and flow cytometric analyses were conducted to probe the correlation between tacrolimus concentrations and the immunoreactivity status as a potential risk of rejection, respectively. The correlation between IC-TAC and WB-TAC was relatively linear (r = 0.67; P<0.001). The factors affecting the tacrolimus ratio were sex, hematocrit, and the transplant duration, as follows: a high tacrolimus ratio was noted in female patients, patients with a low hematocrit, and patients with a short transplant period. However, the tacrolimus ratio did not reflect the prior clinical outcomes (e.g., rejection) or the genetic polymorphism of ABCB1. After stimulation with phorbol-12-myristate 13-acetate and ionomycin, the proportion of T cells producing interferon-gamma or interleukin-2 was higher in the low-IC-TAC group than in the high-IC-TAC group. Further studies are required to evaluate the value of the intracellular tacrolimus concentrations in several clinical settings, such as rejection, infection, and drug toxicity.

Influence of ABCB1 gene polymorphism on concentration to dose ratio and adverse effects of tacrolimus in Pakistani liver transplant recipients.

Project description:ObjectiveTo evaluate the possible association of ABCB1 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) of the ABCB1 gene with tacrolimus dosages, concentration-to-dose ratios (CDR) and adverse effects in Pakistani liver transplant recipients.MethodsThis observational study was conducted at Shifa International Hospital, Shifa Tameer-e-Millat University, Islamabad and Basic Medical Sciences Institute, Karachi from September 2016 to July 2020. Eighty-one liver transplant recipients were included. Demographics, clinical data, tacrolimus trough levels and doses were monitored. Electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA) was used to measure tacrolimus trough levels. Transplant recipients were genotyped for three ABCB1 SNPs (rs1045642, rs2032582 and rs1128503). Acute cellular rejection (ACR), sepsis and other adverse events were monitored.ResultsABCB1 rs1045642 CC genotype showed lower tacrolimus CDR as compared to CT and TT genotype in the first week of the post-transplantation period (p=0.02). There was a significant association of polymorphisms in rs1045642, rs2032582 and rs1128503 with psychosis, sepsis and ACR respectively.ConclusionIdentification of ABCB1 rs1045642 polymorphism may shorten the time to achieve optimum levels of tacrolimus during dose titration. ABCB1 polymorphism rs1045642, rs2032582 and rs1128503 may predict adverse effects in liver transplant recipients receiving tacrolimus.

Donor CYP3A5 Gene Polymorphism Alone Cannot Predict Tacrolimus Intrarenal Concentration in Renal Transplant Recipients.

Project description:CYP3A5 gene polymorphism in recipients plays an important role in tacrolimus blood pharmacokinetics after renal transplantation. Even though CYP3A5 protein is expressed in renal tubular cells, little is known about the influence on the tacrolimus intrarenal exposure and hence graft outcome. The aim of our study was to investigate how the tacrolimus intrarenal concentration (Ctissue) could be predicted based on donor CYP3A5 gene polymorphism in renal transplant recipients. A total of 52 Japanese renal transplant patients receiving tacrolimus were enrolled in this study. Seventy-four renal biopsy specimens were obtained at 3 months and 1 year after transplantation to determine the donor CYP3A5 polymorphism and measure the Ctissue by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS). The tacrolimus Ctissue ranged from 52 to 399 pg/mg tissue (n = 74) and was weak but significantly correlated with tacrolimus trough concentration (C0) at 3 months after transplantation (Spearman, r = 0.3560, p = 0.0096). No significant relationship was observed between the donor CYP3A5 gene polymorphism and Ctissue or Ctissue/C0. These data showed that the tacrolimus systemic level has an impact on tacrolimus renal accumulation after renal transplantation. However, donor CYP3A5 gene polymorphism alone cannot be used to predict tacrolimus intrarenal exposure. This study may be valuable for exploring tacrolimus renal metabolism and toxicology mechanism in renal transplant recipients.

The use of a DNA biobank linked to electronic medical records to characterize pharmacogenomic predictors of tacrolimus dose requirement in kidney transplant recipients.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:Tacrolimus, an immunosuppressive drug widely prescribed in kidney transplantation, requires therapeutic drug monitoring due to its marked interindividual pharmacokinetic variability and narrow therapeutic index. Previous studies have established that CYP3A5 rs776746 is associated with tacrolimus clearance, blood concentration, and dose requirement. The importance of other drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination (ADME) gene variants has not been well characterized. METHODS:We used novel DNA biobank and electronic medical record resources to identify ADME variants associated with tacrolimus dose requirement. Broad ADME genotyping was performed on 446 kidney transplant recipients, who had been dosed to a steady state with tacrolimus. The cohort was obtained from Vanderbilt's DNA biobank, BioVU, which contains linked deidentified electronic medical record data. Genotyping included Affymetrix drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters Plus (1936 polymorphisms), custom Sequenom Massarray iPLEX Gold assay (95 polymorphisms), and ancestry-informative markers. The primary outcome was tacrolimus dose requirement defined as blood concentration to dose ratio. RESULTS:In analyses, which adjusted for race and other clinical factors, we replicated the association of tacrolimus blood concentration to dose ratio with CYP3A5 rs776746 (P=7.15×10), and identified associations with nine variants in linkage disequilibrium with rs776746, including eight CYP3A4 variants. No NR1I2 variants were significantly associated. Age, weight, and hemoglobin were also significantly associated with the outcome. In final models, rs776746 explained 39% of variability in dose requirement and 46% was explained by the model containing clinical covariates. CONCLUSION:This study highlights the utility of DNA biobanks and electronic medical records for tacrolimus pharmacogenomic research.
