Evaluation of the usefulness of plasma 4β-hydroxycholesterol concentration normalized by 4α-hydroxycholesterol for accurate CYP3A phenotyping. Clin Transl Sci 2024; 17:e13768. [PMID: 38465776 PMCID: PMC10926057 DOI: 10.1111/cts.13768] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2023] [Revised: 02/16/2024] [Accepted: 02/23/2024] [Indexed: 03/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Plasma 4β-hydroxycholesterol (OHC) has drawn attention as an endogenous substrate indicating CYP3A activity. Plasma 4β-OHC is produced by hydroxylation by CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 and by cholesterol autoxidation. Plasma 4α-OHC is produced by cholesterol autoxidation and not affected by CYP3A activity. This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of plasma 4β-OHC concentration minus plasma 4α-OHC concentration (4β-OHC-4α-OHC) compared with plasma 4β-OHC concentration and 4β-OHC/total cholesterol (TC) ratio in cross-sectional evaluation of CYP3A activity. Four hundred sixteen general adults were divided into 191 CYP3A5*1 carriers and 225 non-carriers. Twenty-six patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) with CYP3A5*1 allele were divided into 14 with CKD stage 3 and 12 with stage 4-5D. Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) for the three indices were evaluated for predicting presence or absence of CYP3A5*1 allele in general adults, and for predicting CKD stage 3 or stage 4-5D in patients with CKD. There was no significant difference between AUC of 4β-OHC-4α-OHC and AUC of plasma 4β-OHC concentration in general adults and in patients with CKD. AUC of 4β-OHC-4α-OHC was significantly smaller than that of 4β-OHC/TC ratio in general adults (p = 0.025), but the two indices did not differ in patients with CKD. In conclusion, in the present cross-sectional evaluation of CYP3A activity in general adults and in patients with CKD with CYP3A5*1 allele, the usefulness of 4β-OHC-4α-OHC was not different from plasma 4β-OHC concentration or 4β-OHC/TC ratio. However, because of the limitations in study design and subject selection of this research, these findings require verification in further studies.

Br J Clin Pharmacol 2024; 90:759-768. [PMID: 37864393 PMCID: PMC10922942 DOI: 10.1111/bcp.15938] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2023] [Revised: 10/11/2023] [Accepted: 10/13/2023] [Indexed: 10/22/2023] Open
Abstract
AIMS Previously, retinoids have decreased CYP2D6 mRNA expression in vitro and induced CYP3A4 in vitro and in vivo. This study aimed to determine whether isotretinoin administration changes CYP2D6 and CYP3A activities in patients with severe acne. METHODS Thirty-three patients (22 females and 11 males, 23.5 ± 6.0 years old) expected to receive isotretinoin treatment completed the study. All participants were genotyped for CYP2D6 and CYP3A5. Participants received dextromethorphan (DM) 30 mg orally as a dual-probe substrate of CYP2D6 and CYP3A activity at two study timepoints: pre-isotretinoin treatment and with isotretinoin for at least 1 week. The concentrations of isotretinoin, DM and their metabolites were measured in 2-h postdose plasma samples and in cumulative 0-4-h urine collections using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. RESULTS In CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers, the urinary dextrorphan (DX)/DM metabolic ratio (MR) (CYP2D6 activity marker) was numerically, but not significantly, lower with isotretinoin administration compared to pre-isotretinoin (geometric mean ratio [GMR] [90% confidence interval (CI)] 0.78 [0.55, 1.11]). The urinary 3-hydroxymorphinan (3HM)/DX MR (CYP3A activity marker) was increased (GMR 1.18 [1.03, 1.35]) and the urinary DX-O-glucuronide/DX MR (proposed UGT2B marker) was increased (GMR 1.22 [1.06, 1.39]) with isotretinoin administration compared to pre-isotretinoin. CONCLUSIONS Administration of isotretinoin did not significantly reduce CYP2D6 activity in extensive metabolizers, suggesting that the predicted downregulation of CYP2D6 based on in vitro data does not translate into humans. We observed a modest increase in CYP3A activity (predominantly CYP3A4) with isotretinoin treatment. The data also suggest that DX glucuronidation is increased following isotretinoin administration.

Pharmacokinetic interactions between tacrolimus and Wuzhi capsule in liver transplant recipients: Genetic polymorphisms affect the drug interaction. Chem Biol Interact 2024; 391:110906. [PMID: 38340974 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbi.2024.110906] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2023] [Revised: 01/21/2024] [Accepted: 02/07/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024]
Abstract
Wuzhi capsule (WZC), a commonly used Chinese patent medicine to treat various types of liver dysfunction in China, increases the exposure of tacrolimus (TAC) in liver transplant recipients. However, this interaction has inter-individual variability, and the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Current research indicates that CYP3A4/5 and drug transporters influence the disposal of both drugs. This study aims to evaluate the association between TAC dose-adjusted trough concentration (C/D) and specific genetic polymorphisms of CYP3A4/5, drug transporters and pregnane x receptor (PXR), and plasma levels of major WZC components, deoxyschisandrin and γ-schisandrin, in liver transplant patients receiving both TAC and WZC. Liquid chromatography-tandem-mass spectrometry was used to detect the plasma levels of deoxyschisandrin and γ-schisandrin, and nine polymorphisms related to metabolic enzymes, transporters and PXR were genotyped by sequencing. A linear mixed model was utilized to assess the impact of the interaction between genetic variations and WZC components on TAC lnC/D. Our results indicate a significant association of TAC lnC/D with the plasma levels of deoxyschisandrin and γ-schisandrin. Univariate analysis demonstrated three polymorphisms in the genes ABCB1 (rs2032582), ABCC2 (rs2273697), ABCC2 (rs3740066), and PXR (rs3842689) interact with both deoxyschisandrin and γ-schisandrin, influencing the TAC lnC/D. In multiple regression model analysis, the interactions between deoxyschisandrin and both ABCB1 (rs2032582) and ABCC2 (rs3740066), post-operative day (β < 0.001, p < 0.001), proton pump inhibitor use (β = -0.152, p = 0.008), body mass index (β = 0.057, p < 0.001), and ABCC2 (rs717620, β = -0.563, p = 0.041), were identified as significant factors of TAC lnC/D, accounting for 47.89% of the inter-individual variation. In summary, this study elucidates the influence of the interaction between ABCB1 and ABCC2 polymorphisms with WZC on TAC lnC/D. These findings offer a scientific basis for their clinical interaction, potentially aiding in the individualized management of TAC therapy in liver transplant patients.

Abstract
This study shows that the distribution of CYP3A5 alleles (*1, *3, *6 and *7) and genotype-predicted CYP3A5 phenotypes vary significantly across Latin American cohorts (Brazilians and the One Thousand Genomes Admixed American superpopulation), as well as among subcohorts comprising individuals with the highest proportions of Native, European or sub-Saharan African ancestry. Differences in biogeographical ancestry across the study groups are the likely explanation for these results. The differential distribution of CYP3A5 phenotypes has major pharmacogenomic implications, affecting the proportion of individuals carrying high risk CYP3A5 phenotypes for the immunosuppressant tacrolimus and the number of patients that would need to be genotyped to prevent acute rejection in kidney transplant recipients under tacrolimus treatment.

Abstract
Bromodomain and extraterminal (BET) proteins are extensively studied in multiple pathologies, including cancer. BET proteins modulate transcription of various genes, including those synonymous with cancer, such as MYC. Thus, BET inhibitors are a major area of drug development efforts. (+)-JQ1 (JQ1) is the prototype inhibitor and is a common tool to probe BET functions. While showing therapeutic promise, JQ1 is not clinically usable, partly due to metabolic instability. Here, we show that JQ1 and the BET-inactive (-)-JQ1 are agonists of pregnane X receptor (PXR), a nuclear receptor that transcriptionally regulates genes encoding drug-metabolizing enzymes such as CYP3A4, which was previously shown to oxidize JQ1. A PXR-JQ1 co-crystal structure identified JQ1's tert-butyl moiety as a PXR anchor and explains binding by (-)-JQ1. Analogs differing at the tert-butyl lost PXR binding, validating our structural findings. Evaluation in liver cell models revealed both PXR-dependent and PXR-independent modulation of CYP3A4 expression by BET inhibitors. We have characterized a non-BET JQ1 target, a mechanism of physiological JQ1 instability, a biological function of (-)-JQ1, and BET-dependent transcriptional regulation of drug metabolism genes.

Composite CYP3A (CYP3A4 and CYP3A5) phenotypes and influence on tacrolimus dose adjusted concentrations in adult heart transplant recipients. THE PHARMACOGENOMICS JOURNAL 2024; 24:4.

Abstract
CYP3A5 genetic variants are associated with tacrolimus metabolism. Controversy remains on whether CYP3A4 increased [*1B (rs2740574), *1 G (rs2242480)] and decreased function [*22 (rs35599367)] genetic variants provide additional information. This retrospective cohort study aims to address whether tacrolimus dose-adjusted trough concentrations differ between combined CYP3A (CYP3A5 and CYP3A4) phenotype groups. Heart transplanted patients (n = 177, between 2008 and 2020) were included and median age was 54 years old. Significant differences between CYP3A phenotype groups in tacrolimus dose-adjusted trough concentrations were found in the early postoperative period and continued to 6 months post-transplant. In CYP3A5 nonexpressers, carriers of CYP3A4*1B or *1 G variants (Group 3) compared to CYP3A4*1/*1 (Group 2) patients were found to have lower tacrolimus dose-adjusted trough concentrations at 2 months. In addition, significant differences were found among CYP3A phenotype groups in the dose at discharge and time to therapeutic range while time in therapeutic range was not significantly different. A combined CYP3A phenotype interpretation may provide more nuanced genotype-guided TAC dosing in heart transplant recipients.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4), a key enzyme, is pivotal in metabolizing approximately half of the drugs used clinically. The genetic polymorphism of the CYP3A4 gene significantly influences individual variations in drug metabolism, potentially leading to severe adverse drug reactions (ADRs). In this study, we conducted a genetic analysis on CYP3A4 gene in 1163 Chinese Han individuals to identify the genetic variations that might affect their drug metabolism capabilities. For this purpose, a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplicon sequencing technique was developed, enabling us to perform the genotyping of CYP3A4 gene efficiently and economically on a large scale. As a result, a total of 14 CYP3A4 allelic variants were identified, comprising six previously reported alleles and eight new nonsynonymous variants that were nominated as new allelic variants *39-*46 by the PharmVar Association. Further, functional assessments of these novel CYP3A4 variants were undertaken by coexpressing them with cytochromes P450 oxidoreductase (CYPOR) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae microsomes. Immunoblot analysis indicated that with the exception of CYP3A4.40 and CYP3A4.45, the protein expression levels of most new variants were similar to that of the wild-type CYP3A4.1 in yeast cells. To evaluate their catalytic activities, midazolam was used as a probe drug. The results showed that variant CYP3A4.45 had almost no catalytic activity, whereas the other variants exhibited significantly reduced drug metabolism abilities. This suggests that the majority of the CYP3A4 variants identified in the Chinese population possess markedly altered capacities for drug metabolism. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: In this study, we established a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplicon sequencing method and detected the maximum number of new CYP3A4 variants in a single ethnic population. Additionally, we performed the functional characterizations of these eight novel CYP3A4 allele variants in vitro. This study not only contributes to the understanding of CYP3A4 genetic polymorphism in the Chinese Han population but also holds substantial reference value for their potential clinical applications in personalized medicine.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate the association between cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4*22 and cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (POR)*28 variations and the pharmacokinetics of tacrolimus. METHODS Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Web of Science (SCI), MEDLINE, and Embase were systematically searched from inception to August 2022. The outcomes were weight-adjusted daily dose and dose-adjusted trough concentration (C0/Dose). RESULTS The study included 2931 renal transplant recipients from 18 publications. Weight-adjusted daily dose of CYP3A4*1/*1 carriers was 0.04 (WMD = 0.04, 95% CI: 0.02 to 0.06), 0.03 (WMD = 0.03, 95% CI: 0.02 to 0.05), 0.02 (WMD = 0.02, 95% CI: 0.01 to 0.03), or 0.02 mg/kg/day (WMD = 0.02, 95% CI: 0.00 to 0.04) higher than CYP3A4*22 carriers in Caucasians at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, or 12 months post-transplantation. Conversely, C0/Dose was lower for CYP3A4*1/*1 carriers at 3 days (SMD = -0.35, 95% CI: -0.65 to -0.06), 1 month (SMD = -0.67, 95% CI: -1.16 to -0.18), 3 months (SMD = -0.60, 95% CI: -0.89 to -0.31), 6 months (SMD = -0.76, 95% CI: -1.49 to -0.04), or 12 months post-transplantation (SMD = -0.69, 95% CI: -1.37 to 0.00). Furthermore, C0/Dose of POR*1/*1 carriers was 22.64 (WMD = 22.64, 95% CI: 2.54 to 42.74) or 19.41 (ng/ml)/(mg/kg/day) (WMD = 19.41, 95% CI: 9.58 to 29.24) higher than POR*28 carriers in CYP3A5 expressers at 3 days or 7 days post-transplantation, and higher in Asians at 6 months post-transplantation (SMD = 0.96, 95% CI: 0.50 to 1.43). CONCLUSIONS CYP3A4*22 variant in Caucasians restrains the metabolism of tacrolimus, while POR*28 variant in CYP3A5 expressers enhances the metabolism of tacrolimus for renal transplant recipients. However, further well-designed prospective studies are necessary to substantiate these conclusions given some limitations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the combined effect of CYP3A5*3, CYP3A4*22, and POR*28 genetic polymorphisms on tacrolimus and cyclosporine dose requirements. METHODS One hundred thirty renal transplant patients placed on either tacrolimus or cyclosporine were recruited, where the effect of CYP3A5*3, CYP3A4*22, and POR*28 genetic polymorphisms on their dose requirements were studied at days 14, 30, and 90 post-transplantations. RESULTS The POR*28 allele frequency in the studied population was 29.61%. The tacrolimus dose-adjusted trough concentration ratio (C0/D) was significantly lower in the fast metabolizers group ( CYP3A5*1/POR*28(CT/TT ) carriers) than in the poor metabolizers group ( CYP3A5*3/*3/CYP3A4*22 carriers) throughout the study (14, 30, and 90 days) ( P = 0.001, <0.001, and 0.003, respectively). Meanwhile, there was no significant effect of this gene combination on cyclosporine C0/D. CONCLUSION Combining the CYP3A5*3, POR*28 , and CYP3A4*22 genotypes can have a significant effect on early tacrolimus dose requirements determination and adjustments. However, it does not have such influence on cyclosporine dose requirements.

Abstract
Patients with prostate cancer (PCa) have a lower docetaxel exposure for both intravenous (1.8-fold) and oral administration (2.4-fold) than patients with other solid cancers, which could influence efficacy and toxicity. An altered metabolism by cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) due to castration status might explain the observed difference in docetaxel pharmacokinetics. In this in vivo phenotyping, pharmacokinetic study, CYP3A activity defined by midazolam clearance (CL) was compared between patients with PCa and male patients with other solid tumors. All patients with solid tumors who did not use CYP3A-modulating drugs were eligible for participation. Patients received 2 mg midazolam orally and 1 mg midazolam intravenously on 2 consecutive days. Plasma concentrations were measured with a validated liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method. Genotyping was performed for CYP3A4 and CYP3A5. Nine patients were included in each group. Oral midazolam CL was 1.26-fold higher in patients with PCa compared to patients with other solid tumors (geometric mean [coefficient of variation], 94.1 [33.5%] L/h vs 74.4 [39.1%] L/h, respectively; P = .08). Intravenous midazolam CL did not significantly differ between the 2 groups (P = .93). Moreover, the metabolic ratio of midazolam to 1'-hydroxy midazolam did not differ between the 2 groups for both oral administration (P = .67) and intravenous administration (P = .26). CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 genotypes did not influence midazolam pharmacokinetics. The observed difference in docetaxel pharmacokinetics between both patient groups therefore appears to be explained neither by a difference in midazolam CL nor by a difference in metabolic conversion rate of midazolam.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 3A4 and 2D6 (EC 1.14.13.97 and 1.14.14.1; CYP3A4 and 2D6) are heme-containing enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of a wide number of xenobiotic and drug substrates and thus broadly impact human biology and pharmacologic therapies. Although their activities are directly proportional to their heme contents, little is known about the cellular heme delivery and insertion processes that enable their maturation to functional form. We investigated the potential involvement of GAPDH and chaperone Hsp90, based on our previous studies linking these proteins to intracellular heme allocation. We studied heme delivery and insertion into CYP3A4 and 2D6 after they were transiently expressed in HEK293T and GlyA CHO cells or when naturally expressed in HEPG2 cells in response to rifampicin, and also investigated their associations with GAPDH and Hsp90 in cells. The results indicate that GAPDH and its heme binding function is involved in delivery of mitochondria-generated heme to apo-CYP3A4 and 2D6, and that cell chaperone Hsp90 is additionally involved in driving their heme insertions. Uncovering how cells allocate heme to CYP3A4 and 2D6 provides new insight on their maturation processes and how this may help to regulate their functions in health and disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tacrolimus is the most frequently used immunosuppressive drug for preventing renal rejection. However, its use is hampered by its narrow therapeutic index and large intra and interpatient variability in pharmacokinetics. The objective of this study was to externally validate a tacrolimus population pharmacokinetic model developed for the Dutch population and adjust the model for the Tunisian population for use in predicting the starting dose requirement after kidney transplantation. METHODS Data on tacrolimus exposure were obtained from kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) during the first 3 months post-transplantation. External validation of the Dutch model and its adjustment for the Tunisian population was performed using nonlinear mixed-effects modeling. RESULTS In total, 1901 whole-blood predose tacrolimus concentrations from 196 adult KTRs were analyzed. According to a visual predictive check, the Dutch model underestimated the starting dose for the Tunisian adult population. The effects of age, together with the CYP3A5*3 and CYP3A4*22 genotypes on tacrolimus clearance were significantly different in the Tunisian population than in the Dutch population. Based on a bodyweight-based dosing, only 21.9% of tacrolimus concentrations were within the target range, whereas this was estimated to be 54.0% with the newly developed model-based dosing. After adjustment, the model was successfully validated internally in a Tunisian population. CONCLUSIONS A starting-dose population pharmacokinetic model of tacrolimus for Tunisian KTRs was developed based on a previously published Dutch model. Using this starting dose could potentially increase the percentage of patients achieving target tacrolimus concentrations after the initial starting dose.

Abstract
AIMS This study aimed to provide up-to-date information on paediatric population pharmacokinetic models of tacrolimus and to identify factors influencing tacrolimus pharmacokinetic variability. METHODS Systematic searches in the Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, Cochrane, EMBASE databases and reference lists of articles were conducted from inception to March 2023. All population pharmacokinetic studies of tacrolimus using nonlinear mixed-effect modelling in paediatric solid organ transplant patients were included. RESULTS Of the 21 studies reviewed, 62% developed from liver transplant recipients and 33% from kidney transplant recipients. Most studies used a 1-compartment model to describe tacrolimus pharmacokinetics. Body weight was a significant predictor for tacrolimus volume of distribution (Vd/F). The estimated Vd/F for 1-compartment models ranged from 20 to 1890 L, whereas the peripheral volume of distribution (Vp/F) for 2-compartment models was between 290 and 1520 L. Body weight, days post-transplant, CYP3A5 genotype or haematocrit were frequently reported as significant predictors of tacrolimus clearance. The estimated apparent clearance values range between 0.12 and 2.18 L/h/kg, with inter-individual variability from 13.5 to 110.0%. Only 29% of the studies assessed the generalizability of the models with external validation. CONCLUSION This review highlights the potential factors, modelling approaches and validation methods that impact tacrolimus pharmacokinetics in a paediatric population. The clinician could predict tacrolimus clearance based on body weight, CYP3A5 genotype, days post-transplant or haematocrit. Further research is required to determine the relationship between pharmacogenetics and tacrolimus pharmacodynamics in paediatric patients and confirm the applicability of nonlinear kinetics in this population.

Abstract
Ruthenium nitrosyl complexes are actively investigated as antitumor agents. Evaluation of potential interactions between cytochromes P450 (CYPs) with new compounds is carried out regularly during early drug development. In this study we have investigated the cytotoxic and antiproliferative activities of ruthenium nitrosyl complexes with methyl/ethyl esters of nicotinic and isonicotinic acids and γ-picoline against 2D and 3D cultures of human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 and non-cancer human lung fibroblasts MRC-5, assessed their photoinduced activity at λrad = 445 nm, and also evaluated their modulating effect on CYP3A4, CYP2C9, and CYP2C19. The study of cytotoxic and antiproliferative activities against 2D and 3D cell models was performed using phenotypic-based high content screening (HCS). The expression of CYP3A4, CYP2C9, and CYP2C19 mRNAs and CYP3A4 protein was examined using target-based HCS. The results of CYP3A4 mRNA expression were confirmed by real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The ruthenium nitrosyl complexes exhibited a dose-dependent cytotoxic effect against HepG2 and MRC-5 cells. The cytotoxic activity of complexes with ethyl isonicotinate (1) and nicotinate (3, 4) was significantly lower for MRC-5 than for HepG2, for a complex with methyl isonicotinate (2) it was higher for MRC-5 than for HepG2, for a complex with γ-picoline (5) it was comparable for both lines. The antiproliferative effect of complexes 2 and 5 was one order of magnitude higher for MRC-5; for complexes 1, 3, and 4 it was comparable for both lines. The cytotoxic activity of all compounds for 3D HepG2 was lower than for 2D HepG2, with the exception of 4. Photoactivation affected the activity of complex 1 only. Its cytotoxic activity decreased, while the antiproliferative activity increased. The ruthenium nitrosyl complexes 1-4 acted as inducers of CYP3A4 and CYP2C19, while the complex with γ-picoline (5) induced of CYP3A4. Among the studied ruthenium nitrosyl complexes, the most promising potential antitumor compound is the ruthenium compound with methyl nicotinate (4).

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) is the most important and abundant drug-metabolizing enzyme in the human liver. Inter-individual differences in the expression and activity of CYP3A4 affect clinical and precision medicine. Increasing evidence indicates that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play crucial roles in the regulation of CYP3A4 expression. Here, we showed that lncRNA hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 alpha-antisense 1 (HNF1A-AS1) exerted dual functions in regulating CYP3A4 expression in Huh7 and HepG2 cells. Mechanistically, HNF1A-AS1 served as an RNA scaffold to interact with both protein arginine methyltransferase 1 and pregnane X receptor (PXR), thereby facilitating their protein interactions and resulting in the transactivation of PXR and transcriptional alteration of CYP3A4 via histone modifications. Furthermore, HNF1A-AS1 bound to the HNF1A protein, a liver-specific transcription factor, thereby blocking its interaction with the E3 ubiquitin ligase tripartite motif containing 25, ultimately preventing HNF1A ubiquitination and protein degradation, further regulating the expression of CYP3A4. In summary, these results reveal the novel functions of HNF1A-AS1 as the transcriptional and post-translational regulator of CYP3A4; thus, HNF1A-AS1 may serve as a new indicator for establishing or predicting individual differences in CYP3A4 expression.

The effect of genetic variants in the transcription factor TSPYL family on the CYP3A4 mediated cyclosporine metabolism in kidney transplant patients. Clin Transl Sci 2024; 17:e13729.

Abstract
CYP3A4 activity shows considerable interindividual variability. Although studies indicate 60%-80% is heritable, common single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in CYP3A4 together only explain ~10%. Transcriptional factors, such as the testis-specific Y-encoded-like proteins (TSPYLs) family, have been reported to regulate the expression of CYP enzymes including CYP3A4 in vitro. Here, we investigated the effect of genetic variants in TSPYL on CYP3A4 activity using data from a clinical study and a human liver bank. Five SNVs (rs3828743, rs10223646, rs6909133, rs1204807, and rs1204811) in TSPYL were selected because of a reported effect on CYP3A4 expression in vitro or suggested clinical effect. For the clinical study, whole blood concentrations, clinical data, and DNA were available from 295 kidney transplant recipients participating in the prospective MECANO study. A multivariate pharmacokinetic model adjusted for body weight, steroid treatment, and CYP3A4 genotype was used to assess the effect of the genetic variants on cyclosporine clearance. In multivariate analysis, homozygous carriers of rs3828743 had a 18% lower cyclosporin clearance compared to the wild-type and heterozygous patients (28.72 vs. 35.03 L/h, p = 0.018) indicating a lower CYP3A4 activity and an opposite direction of effect compared to the previously reported increased CYP3A4 expression. To validate, we tested associations between rs3828743 and CYP3A4 mRNA and protein expression as well as enzyme activity with data from a liver bank (n = 150). No association with any of these end points was observed. In conclusion, the totality of evidence is not in support of a significant role for TSPYL SNV rs3828743 in explaining variability in CYP3A4 activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Whole-blood therapeutic drug monitoring of tacrolimus is conducted to maintain tacrolimus concentrations within a safe and effective range. Changes in hematocrit cause variability in blood concentrations of tacrolimus because it is highly bound to erythrocytes. Measuring plasma concentrations may eliminate this variability; however, current methods have limitations owing to the use of cross-reactive immunoassays, plasma separation at nonbiological temperatures, and lack of clinical validation. This study aimed to develop and validate a clinically applicable method to measure plasma tacrolimus concentrations in renal transplant recipients and to examine the concentration differences between genotypic CYP3A5 expressors and nonexpressors. METHODS Plasma tacrolimus concentrations were measured in 9 stable renal transplant recipients who were genotypic CYP3A5 expressors or nonexpressors. Tacrolimus was extracted from plasma using solid-phase extraction, and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was used for detection and quantitation. RESULTS This assay was sensitive, selective, and linear between 100 and 5000 ng/L, with intraassay and interassay imprecision and inaccuracy <10% and <5% respectively. The extraction recovery of tacrolimus and ascomycin was 74%. Matrix ion suppression effects were 31.5% and 35% with overall recovery of 50.6% and 48.3% for tacrolimus and ascomycin, respectively. Whole-blood concentrations accounted for approximately 46% of the variation in plasma concentrations in CYP3A5 expressors and nonexpressors. No difference in dose-adjusted whole-blood and plasma concentrations was observed between CYP3A5 expressors and nonexpressors. CONCLUSIONS This assay is clinically applicable with excellent performance and demonstrated that tacrolimus plasma concentrations highly correlated with whole-blood concentrations.

Abstract
First pass metabolism by phase I and phase II enzymes in the intestines and liver is a major determinant of the oral bioavailability of many drugs. Several studies analyzed expressions of major drug-metabolizing enzymes (DMEs), such as CYP3A4 and UGT1A1 in the human gut and liver. However, there is still a lack of knowledge regarding other DMEs (i.e., "minor" DMEs), although several clinically relevant drugs are affected by those enzymes. Moreover, there is very limited intra-subject data on hepatic and intestinal expression levels of minor DMEs. To fill this gap of knowledge, we analyzed gene expression (quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction) and protein abundance (targeted proteomics) of 24 clinically relevant DMEs, that is, carboxylesterases (CES), UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGT), and cytochrome P450 (CYP)-enzymes. We performed our analysis using jejunum and liver tissue specimens from the same 11 healthy organ donors (8 men and 3 women, aged 19-60 years). Protein amounts of all investigated DMEs, with the exception of CYP4A11, were detected in human liver samples. CES2, CYP2C18, CYP3A4, and UGT2B17 protein abundance was similar or even higher in the jejunum, and all other DMEs were found in higher amounts in the liver. Significant correlations between gene expression and protein levels were observed only for 2 of 15 jejunal, but 13 of 23 hepatic DMEs. Intestinal and hepatic protein amounts only significantly correlated for CYP3A4 and UGT1A3. Our results demonstrated a notable variability between the individuals, which was even higher in the intestines than in the liver. Our intrasubject analysis of DMEs in the jejunum and liver from healthy donors, may be useful for physiologically-based pharmacokinetic-based modeling and prediction in order to improve efficacy and safety of oral drug therapy.

Abstract
Our study is the first study to investigate the effect of SNPs in CYP3A5, CYP3A4, ABCB1 and POR genes on the incidence of tremors, nephrotoxicity, and diabetes mellitus. A total of 223 renal transplant patients receiving tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) were recruited. Both adults and children patients participated in the study. Genotyping was performed using PROFLEX-PCR followed by RFLP. MPA and tacrolimus plasma concentrations were measured by immunoassay. The AUC0-12h of MMF was estimated by a Bayesian method. We found a statistically significant association between the CYP3A5*3 and CYP3A4*1B genotypes and the tacrolimus exposure. We found a lower occurrence of nephrotoxicity (p = 0.03), tremor (p = 0.01), and new-onset diabetes (p = 0.002) associated with CYP3A5*1 allele. The CYP3A4*1B allele was significantly associated with a lower occurrence of new-onset diabetes (p = 0.026). The CYP3A5*1 allele was significantly associated with an increased risk of acute and chronic rejection (p = 0.03 and p < 0.001, respectively). Our results support the usefulness of tacrolimus pharmacokinetics in pre-kidney transplant assessments.

Vincristine Disposition and Neurotoxicity Are Unchanged in Humanized CYP3A5 Mice. Drug Metab Dispos 2024; 52:80-85. [PMID: 38071551 PMCID: PMC10801630 DOI: 10.1124/dmd.123.001466] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2023] [Revised: 11/14/2023] [Accepted: 12/06/2023] [Indexed: 12/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Previous studies have suggested that the incidence of vincristine-induced peripheral neuropathy (VIPN) is potentially linked with cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A5, a polymorphic enzyme that metabolizes vincristine in vitro, and with concurrent use of azole antifungals such as ketoconazole. The assumed mechanism for these interactions is through modulation of CYP3A-mediated metabolism, leading to decreased vincristine clearance and increased susceptibility to VIPN. Given the controversy surrounding the contribution of these mechanisms, we directly tested these hypotheses in genetically engineered mouse models with a deficiency of the entire murine Cyp3a locus [Cyp3a(-/-) mice] and in humanized transgenic animals with hepatic expression of functional and nonfunctional human CYP3A5 variants. Compared with wild-type mice, the systemic exposure to vincristine was increased by only 1.15-fold (95% confidence interval, 0.84-1.58) in Cyp3a(-/-) mice, suggesting that the clearance of vincristine in mice is largely independent of hepatic Cyp3a function. In line with these observations, we found that Cyp3a deficiency or pretreatment with the CYP3A inhibitors ketoconazole or nilotinib did not influence the severity and time course of VIPN and that exposure to vincristine was not substantially altered in humanized CYP3A5*3 mice or humanized CYP3A5*1 mice compared with Cyp3a(-/-) mice. Our study suggests that the contribution of CYP3A5-mediated metabolism to vincristine elimination and the associated drug-drug interaction potential is limited and that plasma levels of vincristine are unlikely to be strongly predictive of VIPN. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: The current study suggests that CYP3A5 genotype status does not substantially influence vincristine disposition and neurotoxicity in translationally relevant murine models. These findings raise concerns about the causality of previously reported relationships between variant CYP3A5 genotypes or concomitant azole use with the incidence of vincristine neurotoxicity.

Abstract
Cytochromes P450 (CYP450) are hemoproteins generally involved in the detoxification of the body of xenobiotic molecules. They participate in the metabolism of many drugs and genetic polymorphisms in humans have been found to impact drug responses and metabolic functions. In this study, we investigate the genetic diversity of CYP450 genes. We found that two clusters, CYP3A and CYP4F, are notably differentiated across human populations with evidence for selective pressures acting on both clusters: we found signals of recent positive selection in CYP3A and CYP4F genes and signals of balancing selection in CYP4F genes. Furthermore, an extensive amount of unusual linkage disequilibrium is detected in this latter cluster, indicating co-evolution signatures among CYP4F genes. Several of the selective signals uncovered co-localize with expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL), which could suggest epistasis acting on co-regulation in these gene families. In particular, we detected a potential co-regulation event between CYP3A5 and CYP3A43, a gene whose function remains poorly characterized. We further identified a causal relationship between CYP3A5 expression and reticulocyte count through Mendelian randomization analyses, potentially involving a regulatory region displaying a selective signal specific to African populations. Our findings linking natural selection and gene expression in CYP3A and CYP4F subfamilies are of importance in understanding population differences in metabolism of nutrients and drugs.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) gene polymorphism and drug interaction on the metabolism of blonanserin. Human recombinant CYP3A4 was prepared using the Bac-to-Bac baculovirus expression system. A microsomal enzyme reaction system was established, and drug-drug interactions were evaluated using Sprague-Dawley rats. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was used to detect the concentrations of blonanserin and its metabolite. Compared with wild type CYP34A, the relative clearance of blonanserin by CYP3A4.29 significantly increased to 251.3%, while it decreased notably with CYP3A4.4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 23, 24, 28, 31, 33, and 34, ranging from 6.09% to 63.34%. Among 153 tested drugs, nimodipine, felodipine, and amlodipine were found to potently inhibit the metabolism of blonanserin. Moreover, the inhibitory potency of nimodipine, felodipine, and amlodipine varied with different CYP3A4 variants. The half-maximal inhibitory concentration and enzymatic kinetics assay demonstrated that the metabolism of blonanserin was noncompetitively inhibited by nimodipine in rat liver microsomes and was inhibited in a mixed manner by felodipine and amlodipine in both rat liver microsomes and human liver microsomes. When nimodipine and felodipine were coadministered with blonanserin, the area under the blood concentration-time curve (AUC)(0-t), AUC(0-∞), and C max of blonanserin increased. When amlodipine and blonanserin were combined, the C max of blonanserin C increased remarkably. The vast majority of CYP3A4 variants have a low ability to catalyze blonanserin. With combined administration of nimodipine, felodipine, and amlodipine, the elimination of blonanserin was inhibited. This study provides the basis for individualized clinical use of blonanserin. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: The enzyme kinetics of novel CYP3A4 enzymes for metabolizing blonanserin were investigated. Clearance of blonanserin by CYP3A4.4, 5, 7-10, 12-14, 16-18, 23-24, 28, 31, 33, and 34 decreased notably, but increased with CYP3A4.29. Additionally, we established a drug interaction spectrum for blonanserin, in which nimodipine, felodipine, and amlodipine kinetics exhibited mixed inhibition. Moreover, their inhibitory potencies decreased with CYP3A4.4 and 5 compared to CYP3A4.1. This study provides essential data for personalized clinical use of blonanserin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sufentanil and ropivacaine when used as epidural anesthetics effectively reduce maternal pain during labor. From previous reports, rs2242480 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) can alter sufentanil metabolism, which affects analgesic efficacy. METHODS We randomly divided 573 eligible mothers into groups A and B (in a 1 : 3 ratio). The control group (group A) was given sufentanil at the usual 0.5 mg/L-1 dose + 0.15% ropivacaine hydrochloride mixture in 10 ml. The sufentanil dose given to the intervention group (group B) was determined by genotype: the GA and AA genotype group (group B1) was given 87.6% (design based on previous study results) of the usual sufentanil clinical dose (0.438 mg/L-1 sufentanil + 0.15% ropivacaine hydrochloride mixture in 10 ml) and the GG genotype group (group B2) was given the same dose as group A. Efficacy indicators consisting of maternal vital signs, obstetric transfer, neonatal prognostic indicators, and adverse effects were recorded before and after analgesia across groups. RESULTS Visual analog scale scores after analgesia across groups were significantly different from scores before analgesia, showing that analgesic effects across groups were effective. No significant differences were observed in efficacy, obstetric transfer, and neonatal prognosis indicators between groups. In comparison to groups B1 and B2, group A showed more markedly suppressed cardiovascular and respiratory effects, and also a higher incidence of negative side effects such as vomiting and urinary retention. CONCLUSION We confirmed that individualizing sufentanil doses based on maternal genotypes increased safety and success rates for women during childbirth.

Abstract
AIMS Abiraterone acetate, a prodrug of abiraterone (ABI), provides an efficient therapeutic option for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer patients. ABI undergoes extensive metabolism in vivo and is transformed into active metabolites Δ4 -abiraterone and 3-keto-5α-abiraterone as well as inactive metabolites abiraterone sulfate and abiraterone N-oxide sulfate. We aimed to examine the effect of polymorphisms in SLCO2B1, CYP3A4 and UGT1A4 on the pharmacokinetics of ABI and its metabolites. METHODS In this study, 81 healthy Chinese subjects were enrolled and divided into 2 groups for fasted (n = 45) and fed (n = 36) studies. Plasma samples were collected after administering a 250 mg abiraterone acetate tablet followed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis. Genotyping was performed on a MassARRAY system. The association between SLCO2B1, CYP3A4, UGT1A4 genotype and pharmacokinetic parameters of ABI and its metabolites was assessed. RESULTS Food effect study demonstrated high fat meal remarkedly increased systemic exposure of ABI and its metabolites. The geometric mean ratio and 90% confidence interval of area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to the time of the last quantifiable concentration (AUC0-t ) and maximum plasma concentration (Cmax ) of ABI in fed state vs. fasted state were 351.64% (286.86%-431.04%) and 478.45% (390.01%-586.94%), respectively, while the corresponding results were ranging from 145.11% to 269.42% and 150.10% to 478.45% for AUC0-t and Cmax of ABI metabolites in fed state vs. fasted state, respectively. The SLCO2B1 rs1077858 had a significant influence on AUC0-t and Cmax , while 7 other SLCO2B1 variants prolonged half-life of ABI under both fasted and fed conditions. As for ABI metabolites, the systemic exposure of Δ4 -abiraterone, abiraterone sulfate and abiraterone N-oxide sulfate as well as the elimination of 3-keto-5α-abiraterone were significantly affected by SLCO2B1 polymorphisms. Polymorphisms in CYP3A4 and UGT1A4 did not significantly affect pharmacokinetics of ABI and its metabolites. CONCLUSION Polymorphisms in SLCO2B1 were significantly related to the pharmacokinetic variability of ABI and its metabolites under both fasted and fed conditions.

Abstract
Aim: Successful treatment with tacrolimus to prevent graft versus host disease (GVHD) and minimize tacrolimus-related toxicities among allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) recipients is contingent upon quickly achieving and maintaining concentrations within a narrow therapeutic range. The primary objective was to investigate associations between CYP3A4, CYP3A5 or ABCB1 genotype and the proportion of patients that attained an initial tacrolimus goal concentration following initiation of intravenous (iv.) and conversion to oral administration. Materials & methods: We retrospectively evaluated 86 patients who underwent HLA-matched (8/8) related donor alloHCT and were prescribed a tacrolimus-based regimen for GVHD prophylaxis. Results & conclusion: The findings of the present study suggests that CYP3A5 genotype may impact attainment of initial therapeutic tacrolimus concentrations with oral administration in alloHCT recipients.
