Tacrolimus is a widely used immunosuppressive drug in organ transplantation. The oral bioavailability of tacrolimus varies greatly between individuals and depends largely on the activity of both the cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) subfamily and P-glycoprotein (P-gp). The possible influence of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of CYP3A subfamily and P-gp (MDR-1) in liver transplant recipients has recently been indicated as one of the most important variables affecting the pharmacokinetics of tacrolimus and the renal injury induced by tacrolimus.Methods
A total of 216 liver transplant recipients were enrolled in this study. The recipients' mean follow-up time was 52 mo (range from 16 to 96 mo). All liver transplant recipients were all in a stable stage with normal serum creatinine (SCr). All liver transplant recipients treated with tacrolimus were genotyped for CYP3A5 (6986A>G), CYP3A4 intron 6 (CYP3A4*22), MDR-1 exon 26 (3435C>T) and exon 12 (1236 C>T) SNPs by HRM analysis (high-resolution melting curve analysis). Recipients were defined as the early renal injury by the elevation of different microproteins in the urine including microalbumin (MA), urine immunoglobulin G (IGU), urine transferrin (TRU) and α1-microglobulin (A1M).Results
The daily dose of tacrolimus was higher for recipients with CYP3A5*1/*1 (AA) genotype than those with CYP3A5*3/*3 (GG) genotype [3.0 (2.0–4.0) versus 2.0 (1.5–2.5) mg/d, P < 0.05]. The concentration/dose ratio of recipients with CYP3A5*1 homozygotes was lowest compared to recipients with CYP3A5*3/*3 and CYP3A5*1/*3 genotypes. Furthermore, the recipients carrying CYP3A5*3 allele were associated with increased risk of early renal glomerular injury compared to the recipients carrying CYP3A5*1 allele (P = 0.01). MDR-1 polymorphisms were not related with tacrolimus pharmacokinetics and early renal injury.Conclusion
CYP3A5 6986A>G genetic polymorphism affected daily dose requirements, concentration and nephrotoxicity of tacrolimus. Screening for this single nucleotide polymorphism before the transplantation might be helpful for the selection of adequate initial daily dose and to achieve the desired immunosuppression outcome. 相似文献2.
Background
Recurrent graft infection limited the effect of LT, early recognition and prophylaxis of HBV recurrence are very important, and interleukin 28B (IL‐28B) gene was reported to be associated with HBV infection.Aims
To explore the association between IL-28B single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and graft re-infection after liver transplantation(LT).Methods
21 recipients with hepatitis B virus(HBV) recurrence and 157 recipients without HBV recurrence were included. We studied three SNPs in the promoter region of IL-28B gene at the positions rs12979860, rs12980275 and rs8099917 by HRM analysis (high-resolution melting curve analysis).Results
Hepatic allograft dysfunction was more likely to be associated with IL-28B SNPs. However, there was no significant difference in the frequencies of IL-28B gene distribution in recipients with or without HBV recurrence.Conclusion
IL-28B gene polymorphism may be associated with the prognosis of LT recipients but it needs more experiments. 相似文献3.

Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a common cause of advanced liver disease, and considered as a major risk factor of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Hepatic cholestasis is a pathophysiological feature observed in all stages of ALD. The farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a member of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily, and plays an essential role in the regulation of bile acid, lipid and glucose homeostasis. However, the role of FXR in the pathogenesis and progression of ALD remains largely unknown. Mice were fed Lieber-DeCarli ethanol diet or an isocaloric control diet. We used a specific agonist of FXR WAY-362450 to study the effect of pharmacological activation of FXR in alcoholic liver disease. In this study, we demonstrated that FXR activity was impaired by chronic ethanol ingestion in a murine model of ALD. Activation of FXR by specific agonist WAY-362450 protected mice from the development of ALD. We also found that WAY-362450 treatment rescued FXR activity, suppressed ethanol-induced Cyp2e1 up-regulation and attenuated oxidative stress in liver. Our results highlight a key role of FXR in the modulation of ALD development, and propose specific FXR agonists for the treatment of ALD patients. 相似文献

Background
Variability in MDR1 and PXR has been associated with differences in drug plasma levels and response to antiretroviral therapy. We investigated whether polymorphisms in MDR1 (T-129C, C1236T and C3435T) and PXR (C63396T) affect lopinavir plasma concentration and the virological or immunological response to HAART in HIV-1-infected children.Methods
Genotypes were identified in 100 blood donors and 38 HIV-1-infected children. All children received HAART with lopinavir boosted with ritonavir (LPV/r) at the time of LPV plasma level quantification, before (Ctrough) and between 1 and 2 h after (Cpost-dose) the administration of the next dose of drug. CD4+ T-cell counts and plasma viral load were analyzed before and after the initiation of LPV/r.Results
MDR1 1236T, MDR1 3435T and PXR 63396T alleles showed a frequency of ~ 50% while the MDR1 -129C allele only reached 5%. Children heterozygotes 1236CT showed a significantly lower LPV Cpost-dose than homozygotes 1236TT (median Cpost-dose = 3.04 μg/ml and 6.50 μg/ml, respectively; p = 0.016). Children heterozygotes 1236CT also had a lower decrease of viral load after 36 weeks of LPV/r exposure compared with homozygotes 1236CC (median viral load changes = − 0.50 log10 copies/ml and − 2.08 log10 copies/ml, respectively; p = 0.047). No effect on the immunological response was observed for polymorphisms of MDR1 or PXR.Conclusions
Our results suggest that the MDR1 C1236T SNP significantly reduces LPV plasma concentration affecting the virological response to HAART. Heterozygotes 1236CT might have an altered level of P-gp expression/activity in enterocytes and CD4+ T lymphocytes that limits the absorption of LPV leading to an impaired virological suppression. 相似文献5.
The possible association of angiotensin type 2 receptor (AT2R) − 1332 G:A polymorphism with susceptibility to preeclampsia was studied in 252 women consisted of 155 women with preeclampsia and 97 healthy pregnant women. Also, the interaction of this polymorphism with angiotensin type 1 receptor (AT1R) 1166 A:C, angiotensin converting enzyme insertion/deletion (ACE I/D) and also with matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) − 1562 C:T polymorphism was investigated. The AT2R − 1332 G:A polymorphism was detected using PCR–RFLP method. Significantly higher frequencies of GG+GA genotype and G allele of AT2R were observed in mild (80.2%, p = 0.003 and 47.5%, p = 0.012, respectively) and severe (77.8%, p = 0.034 and 48.1%, p = 0.026, respectively) preeclampsia compared to controls (60.8% and 35.1%, respectively). The presence of G allele was associated with 1.69-fold increased risk of preeclampsia (p = 0.005). In severe preeclamptic women, systolic and diastolic blood pressures in the presence of GG+GA genotype were significantly higher compared to those in the presence of AA genotype. The concomitant presence of both alleles of AT2R G and AT1R C was associated with 1.3 times increased risk of mild preeclampsia (p = 0.03). There was an interaction between AT2R G and ACE D alleles that significantly increased the risk of mild and severe preeclampsia by 1.38- and 1.3-fold, respectively. Also, interaction between MMP-9 T and AT2R G alleles increased the risk of severe preeclampsia 1.39-fold (p = 0.028). Our study demonstrated that the G allele of AT2R − 1332 G:A polymorphism is associated with an increased risk of preeclampsia. Also, epistatic interaction of G allele and each allele of the AT1R C, ACE D and MMP-9 T was associated with the risk of preeclampsia. Our findings suggest that the renin–angiotensin system (RAS) variants and gene–gene interactions affect the risk of preeclampsia. 相似文献

Reduced mitochondrial fatty acid (FA) β-oxidation can cause accumulation of triglyceride in liver, while intake of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) has been recommended as a promising novel therapy to decrease hepatic triglyceride content. However, reduced mitochondrial FA β-oxidation also facilitates accumulation of EPA. To investigate the interplay between EPA administration, mitochondrial activity and hepatic triglyceride accumulation, we investigated the effects of EPA administration to carnitine-deficient mice with impaired mitochondrial FA β-oxidation. C57BL/6J mice received a high-fat diet supplemented or not with 3% EPA in the presence or absence of 500 mg mildronate/kg/day for 10 days. Liver mitochondrial and peroxisomal oxidation, lipid classes and FA composition were determined. Histological staining was performed and mRNA level of genes related to lipid metabolism and inflammation in liver and adipose tissue was determined. Levels of pro-inflammatory eicosanoids and cytokines were measured in plasma. The results showed that mildronate treatment decreased hepatic carnitine concentration and mitochondrial FA β-oxidation and induced severe triglyceride accumulation accompanied by elevated systemic inflammation. Surprisingly, inclusion of EPA in the diet exacerbated the mildronate-induced triglyceride accumulation. This was accompanied by a considerable increase of EPA accumulation while decreased total n-3/n-6 ratio in liver. However, inclusion of EPA in the diet attenuated the mildronate-induced mRNA expression of inflammatory genes in adipose tissue. Taken together, dietary supplementation with EPA exacerbated the triglyceride accumulation induced by impaired mitochondrial FA β-oxidation. Thus, further thorough evaluation of the potential risk of EPA supplementation as a therapy for NAFLD associated with impaired mitochondrial FA oxidation is warranted. 相似文献

5,6-Dimethylxanthenone-4-acetic acid (DMXAA) is a potent cytokine inducer, with a bioavailability of >70% in the mouse. The aim of this study was to develop and validate HPLC methods for the determination of DMXAA and DMXAA acyl glucuronide (DMXAA-G) in the human intestinal cell line Caco-2 monolayers. The developed HPLC methods were sensitive and reliable, with acceptable accuracy (85-115% of true values) and precision (intra- and inter-assay CV < 15%). The total running time was within 6.8 min, with acceptable separation of the compounds of interest. The limit of quantitation (LOQ) values for DMXAA and DMXAA-G were 14.2 and 24 ng/ml, respectively. The validated HPLC methods were applied to examine the epithelial transport of DMXAA and DMXAA-G by Caco-2 monolayers. The permeability coefficient (Papp) values (overall mean +/- S.D., n = 3-9) of DMXAA over 10-500 microM were independent of concentration for both apical (AP) to basolateral (BL) (4.0 +/- 0.4 x 10(-5)cm/s) and BL-AP (4.3 +/- 0.5 x 10(-5)cm/s) transport, and of similar magnitude in either direction, with net efflux ratio (Rnet) values of 1-1.3. However, the Papp values for the BL to AP transport of DMXAA-G were significantly greater than those for the AP to BL transport, with Rnet values of 17.6, 6.7 and 4.5 at 50, 100 and 200 microM, respectively. Further studies showed that the transport of DMXAA-G was Na+- and energy-dependent, and inhibited by MK-571 [a multidrug resistance associated protein (MRP) 1/2 inhibitor], but not by verapamil and probenecid. These data indicate that the HPLC methods for the determination of DMXAA and DMXAA-G in the transport buffer were simple and reliable, and the methods have been applied to the transport study of both compounds by Caco-2 monolayers. DMXAA across Caco-2 monolayers was through a passive transcellular process, whereas the transport of DMXAA-G was mediated by MRP1/2. 相似文献

Type II citrullinaemia, also known as citrin deficiency, is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder, which is caused by pathogenic mutations in the SLC25A13 gene on chromosome 7q21.3. One of the clinical manifestations of type II citrullinaemia is neonatal intrahepatic cholestatic hepatitis caused by citrin deficiency (NICCD, OMIM# 605814). In this study, a 5-month-old female Chinese neonate diagnosed with type II citrullinaemia was examined. The diagnosis was based on biochemical and clinical findings, including organic acid profiling using a gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS), and the patient's parents were unaffected. Approximately 14 kb of the exon sequences of the SLC25A13 and two relative genes (ASS1 and FAH) from the proband and 100 case-unrelated controls were captured by array-based capture method followed by high-throughput next-generation sequencing. Two single-nucleotide mutations were detected in the proband, including the previous reported c.1177+1G>A mutation and a novel c.754G>A mutation in the SLC25A13 gene. Sanger sequence results showed that the patient was a compound heterozygote for the two mutations. The novel mutation (c.754G>A), which is predicted to affect the normal structure and function of citrin, is a candidate pathogenic mutation. Target sequence capture combined with high-throughput next-generation sequencing technologies is proven to be an effective method for molecular genetic testing of type II citrullinaemia. 相似文献

Nuclear receptors (NRs) represent attractive targets for the treatment of metabolic syndrome-related diseases. In addition, natural products are an interesting pool of potential ligands since they have been refined under evolutionary pressure to interact with proteins or other biological targets.This review aims to briefly summarize current basic knowledge regarding the liver X (LXR) and farnesoid X receptors (FXR) that form permissive heterodimers with retinoid X receptors (RXR). Natural product-based ligands for these receptors are summarized and the potential of LXR, FXR and RXR as targets in precision medicine is discussed. 相似文献
