Effect of Polymorphisms of ABCB1 and MTHFR on Methotrexate-Related Toxicities in Adults With Hematological Malignancies.

ABSTRACT: Study of the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of methotrexate (MTX) pathway genes and MTX-related toxicity in the treatment of hematological malignancies is popular. Here, we studied the association between SNPs of MTHFR and ABCB1 and MTX-related toxicity in 157 adult Chinese patients diagnosed with hematological malignancies. Patients were genotyped for MTHFR rs1801131, MTHFR rs1801133, and ABCB1 rs1045642 by fluorescence in situ hybridization. Patients with MTHFR rs1801133T allele had a significantly higher risk of hematopoietic toxicity compared with those with CC genotype (p=0.003). With respect to MTHFR rs1801131, patients with CC and AC genotypes had significantly lower frequency of hematopoietic toxicity than patients with AA genotype (p=0.044). In conclusion, we identified an important influence of the SNPs of ABCB1 and MTHFR on MTX-related hematopoietic toxicity in adults with hematological malignancies. To optimize high-dose (HD)-MTX therapy and reduce related hematopoietic toxicity, it is necessary to detect the SNPs of MTHFR and ABCB1 before initiating HD-MTX and deciding the optimal dose of MTX and duration of leucovorin rescue, according to genetic tests and disease type in adults with hematological malignancies.

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:Objective: High-dose methotrexate (HDMTX) is a mainstay therapeutic agent for the treatment of diverse hematological malignancies, and it plays a significant role in interindividual variability regarding the pharmacokinetics and toxicity. The genetic association of HDMTX has been widely investigated, but the conflicting results have complicated the clinical utility. Therefore, this systematic review aims to determine the role of gene variants within the HDMTX pathway and to fill the gap between knowledge and clinical practice. Methods: Databases including EMBASE, PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), and the Clinical Trials.gov were searched from inception to November 2020. We included twelve single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the HDMTX pathway, involving RFC1, SLCO1B1, ABCB1, FPGS, GGH, MTHFR, DHFR, TYMS, and ATIC. Meta-analysis was conducted by using Cochrane Collaboration Review Manager software 5.3. The odds ratios (ORs) or hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were analyzed to evaluate the associations between SNPs and clinical outcomes. This study was performed according to the PRISMA guideline. Results: In total, 34 studies with 4102 subjects were identified for the association analysis. Nine SNPs involving MTHFR, RFC1, ABCB1, SLCO1B1, TYMS, FPGS, and ATIC genes were investigated, while none of studies reported the polymorphisms of GGH and DHFR yet. Two SNPs were statistically associated with the increased risk of HDMTX toxicity: MTHFR 677C>T and hepatotoxicity (dominant, OR=1.52, 95% CI=1.03-2.23; recessive, OR=1.68, 95% CI=1.10-2.55; allelic, OR=1.41, 95% CI=1.01-1.97), mucositis (dominant, OR=2.11, 95% CI=1.31-3.41; allelic, OR=1.91, 95% CI=1.28-2.85), and renal toxicity (recessive, OR=3.54, 95% CI=1.81-6.90; allelic, OR=1.89, 95% CI=1.18-3.02); ABCB1 3435C>T and hepatotoxicity (dominant, OR=3.80, 95% CI=1.68-8.61), whereas a tendency toward the decreased risk of HDMTX toxicity was present in three SNPs: TYMS 2R>3R and mucositis (dominant, OR=0.66, 95% CI=0.47-0.94); RFC1 80A>G and hepatotoxicity (recessive, OR=0.35, 95% CI=0.16-0.76); and MTHFR 1298A>C and renal toxicity (allelic, OR=0.41, 95% CI=0.18-0.97). Since the data of prognosis outcomes was substantially lacking, current studies were underpowered to investigate the genetic association. Conclusions: We conclude that genotyping of MTHFR and/or ABCB1 polymorphisms prior to treatment, MTHFR 677C>T particularly, is likely to be potentially useful with the aim of tailoring HDMTX therapy and thus reducing toxicity in patients with hematological malignancies.
