[PMID: 39438936 PMCID: PMC11515775 DOI: 10.1186/s12967-024-05737-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2024] [Accepted: 10/06/2024] [Indexed: 10/25/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Coffee and tea consumption account for most caffeine intake and 2-3 billion cups are taken daily around the world. Caffeine dependence is a widespread but under recognized problem. OBJECTIVES To conduct a systematic review on the genetic susceptibility factors affecting caffeine metabolism and caffeine reward and their association with caffeine intake. METHODOLOGY We conducted PubMed and Embase searches using the terms "caffeine", "reward", "gene", "polymorphism", "addiction", "dependence" and "habit" from inception till 2024. The demographics, genetic and clinical data from included studies were extracted and analyzed. Only case-control studies on habitual caffeine drinkers with at least 100 in each arm were included. RESULTS A total of 2552 studies were screened and 26 studies involving 1,851,428 individuals were included. Several genes that were involved with caffeine metabolism such as CYP1A2, ADORA2A, AHR, POR, ABCG2, CYP2A6, PDSS2 and HECTD4 rs2074356 (A allele specific to East Asians and monomorphic in Europeans, Africans and Americans) were associated with habitual caffeine consumption with effect size difference of 3% to 32% in number of cups of caffeinated drink per day per effect allele. In addition, ALDH2 was linked to the Japanese population. Genes associated with caffeine reward included BDNF, SLC6A4, GCKR, MLXIPL and dopaminergic genes such as DRD2 and DAT1 which had around 2-5% effect size difference in number of cups of caffeinated drink for each allele per day. CONCLUSION Several genes that were involved in caffeine metabolism and reward were associated with up to 30% effect size difference in number of cups of caffeinated drink per day, and some associations were specific to certain ethnicities. Identification of at-risk caffeine dependence individuals can lead to early diagnosis and stratification of at-risk vulnerable individuals such as pregnant women and children, and can potentially lead to development of drug targets for dependence to caffeine.

Abstract
Calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) are the mainstay of immunosuppression in kidney transplantation. Interpatient variability in the disposition of calcineurin inhibitors is a well-researched phenomenon and has a well-established genetic contribution. There is great diversity in the makeup of African genomes, but very little is known about the pharmacogenetics of CNIs and transplant outcomes. This review focuses on genetic variants of calcineurin inhibitors' metabolizing enzymes (CYP3A4, CYP3A5), related molecules (POR, PPARA) and membrane transporters involved in the metabolism of calcineurin inhibitors. Given the genetic diversity across the African continent, it is imperative to generate pharmacogenetic data, especially in the era of personalized medicine and emphasizes the need for studies specific to African populations. The study of allelic variants in populations where they have greater frequencies will help answer questions regarding their impact. We aim to fill the knowledge gaps by reviewing existing research and highlighting areas where African research can contribute.

The polygenic implication of clopidogrel responsiveness: Insights from platelet reactivity analysis and next-generation sequencing. PLoS One 2024; 19:e0306445.

Abstract
Clopidogrel is widely used worldwide as an antiplatelet therapy in patients with acute coronary disease. Genetic factors influence interindividual variability in response. Some studies have explored the polygenic contributions in the drug response, generating pharmacogenomic risk scores (PgxPRS). Importantly, these factors are less explored in underrepresented populations, such as Latin-American countries. Identifying patients at risk of high-on-treatment platelet reactivity (HTPR) is highly valuable in translational medicine. In this study we used a custom next-generation sequencing (NGS) panel composed of 91 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and 28 genes related to clopidogrel metabolism, to analyze 70 patients with platelet reactivity values, assessed through closure time (CT). Our results demonstrated the association of SNPs with HTPR and non-HTPR, revealing the strongest associations with rs2286823 (OR: 5,0; 95% CI: 1,02-24,48; p: 0,03), rs2032582 (OR: 4,41; 95% CI: 1,20-16,12; p: 0,019), and rs1045642 (OR: 3,38; 95% CI: 0,96-11,9; p: 0,05). Bivariate regression analysis demonstrated the significant association of several SNPs with the CT value, a "surrogate" biomarker of clopidogrel response. Exploratory results from the LASSO regression model showed a high discriminatory capacity between HTPR and non-HTPR patients (AUC: 0,955), and the generated PgxPRS demonstrated a significant negative association between the risk score, CT value, and the condition of HTPR and non-HTPR. To our knowledge, our study addresses for the first time the analysis of the polygenic contribution in platelet reactivity using NGS and establishes PgxPRS derived from the LASSO model. Our results demonstrate the polygenic implication of clopidogrel response and offer insights applicable to the translational medicine of antiplatelet therapy in an understudied population.

Abstract
Cyclophosphamide (Cy) is a prodrug that is mainly bioactivated by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2B6 enzyme. Several other enzymes are also involved in its bioactivation and affect its kinetics. Previous studies have shown the effect of the enzymes' genetic polymorphisms on Cy kinetics and its clinical outcome. These results were controversial primarily because of the involvement of several interacting enzymes in the Cy metabolic pathway, which can also be affected by several clinical factors as well as other drug interactions. In this review article, we present the effect of CYP2B6 polymorphisms on Cy kinetics since it is the main bioactivating enzyme, as well as discussing all previously reported enzymes and clinical factors that can alter Cy efficacy. Additionally, we present explanations for key Cy side effects related to the nature and site of its bioactivation. Finally, we discuss the role of busulphan in conditioning regimens in the Cy metabolic pathway as a clinical example of drug-drug interactions involving several enzymes. By the end of this article, our aim is to have provided a comprehensive summary of Cy pharmacogenomics and the effect on its kinetics. The utility of these findings in the development of new strategies for Cy personalized patient dose adjustment will aid in the future optimization of patient specific Cy dosages and ultimately in improving clinical outcomes. In conclusion, CYP2B6 and several other enzyme polymorphisms can alter Cy kinetics and consequently the clinical outcomes. However, the precise quantification of Cy kinetics in any individual patient is complex as it is clearly under multifactorial genetic control. Additionally, other clinical factors such as the patient's age, diagnosis, concomitant medications, and clinical status should also be considered.

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
Cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (POR) protein is essential for steroidogenesis, and POR gene mutations are frequently associated with P450 Oxidoreductase Deficiency (PORD), a disorder of hormone production. To our knowledge, no previous attempt has been made to identify and analyze the deleterious/pathogenic non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNPs) in the human POR gene through an extensive computational approach. Computational algorithms and tools were employed to identify, characterize, and validate the pathogenic SNPs associated with certain diseases. To begin with, all the high-confidence SNPs were collected, and their structural and functional impacts on the protein structures were explored. The results of various in silico analyses affirm that the A287P and R457H variants of POR could destabilize the interactions between the amino acids and the hydrogen bond networks, resulting in functional deviations of POR. The literature study further confirms that the pathogenic mutations (A287P and R457H) are associated with the onset of PORD. Molecular dynamics simulations (MDS) and essential dynamics (ED) studies characterized the structural consequences of prioritized deleterious mutations, representing the structural destabilization that might disrupt POR biological function. The identified deleterious mutations at the cofactor's binding domains might interfere with the essential interactions between the protein and cofactors, thus inhibiting POR catalytic activity. The consolidated insights from the computational analyses can be used to predict potential deleterious mutants and understand the disease's pathological basis and the molecular mechanism of drug metabolism for the application of personalized medication. HIGHLIGHTSNADPH cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (POR) mutations are associated with a broad spectrum of human diseasesIdentified and analyzed the most deleterious nsSNPs of POR through the sequence and structure-based prediction toolsInvestigated the structural and functional impacts of the most significant mutations (A287P and R457H) associated with PORDMolecular dynamics and PCA-based FEL analysis were utilized to probe the mutation-induced structural alterations in PORCommunicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase delivers electrons required by heme oxygenase, squalene monooxygenase, fatty acid desaturase, and 48 human cytochrome P450 enzymes. While conformational changes supporting reductase intramolecular electron transfer are well defined, intermolecular interactions with these targets are poorly understood, in part because of their transient association. Herein the reductase FMN domain responsible for interacting with targets was fused to the N-terminus of three drug-metabolizing and two steroidogenic cytochrome P450 enzymes to increase the probability of interaction. These artificial fusion enzymes were profiled for their ability to bind their respective substrates and inhibitors and to perform catalysis supported by cumene hydroperoxide. Comparisons with the isolated P450 enzymes revealed that even the oxidized FMN domain causes substantial and diverse effects on P450 function. The FMN domain could increase, decrease, or not affect total ligand binding and/or dissociation constants depending on both P450 enzyme and ligand. As examples, FMN domain fusion has no effect on inhibitor ketoconazole binding to CYP17A1 but substantially altered CYP21A2 binding of the same compound. FMN domain fusion to CYP21A2 resulted in differential effects dependent on whether the ligand was 17α-hydroxyprogesterone versus ketoconazole. Similar enzyme-specific effects were observed on steady-state kinetics. These observations are most consistent with FMN domain interacting with the proximal P450 surface to allosterically impact P450 ligand binding and metabolism separate from electron delivery. The variety of effects on different P450 enzymes and on the same P450 with different ligands suggests intricate and differential allosteric communication between the P450 active site and its proximal reductase-binding surface.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite its advantages over other antipsychotics, for treatment-resistant schizophrenia, clinical use of Clozapine (CLZ) is challenging by its narrow therapeutic index and potentially life-threatening dose-related adverse effects. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS As the potential role in CLZ metabolism is assigned to CYP1A2 enzyme and consequently Cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (POR) their genetic variations might help to determine CLZ levels in schizophrenia patients. For this purpose, 112 schizophrenia patients receiving CLZ were included in the current study. Plasma CLZ and N-desmethylclozapine (DCLZ) levels were analyzed by using HPLC and genetic variations were identified with the PCR-RFLP method. RESULTS The patients' CYP1A2 and POR genotypes seemed to not affect plasma CLZ and DCLZ levels whereas in the subgroup analysis, POR × 28 genotype significantly influenced simple and adjusted plasma CLZ and DLCZ levels concerning smoking habit and caffeine consumption. CONCLUSIONS The findings of the present study highlight the importance of both genetic and non-genetic factors (smoking and caffeine consumption) for the individualization of the CLZ treatment. In addition to that, it suggests that the added utility of not only the CLZ metabolizing enzymes but also POR, which is crucial for proper CYP activity, to guide CLZ dosing might be useful for clinical decision-making.

Abstract
The adrenal is a small, anatomically unimposing structure that escaped scientific notice until 1564 and whose existence was doubted by many until the 18th century. Adrenal functions were inferred from the adrenal insufficiency syndrome described by Addison and from the obesity and virilization that accompanied many adrenal malignancies, but early physiologists sometimes confused the roles of the cortex and medulla. Medullary epinephrine was the first hormone to be isolated (in 1901), and numerous cortical steroids were isolated between 1930 and 1949. The treatment of arthritis, Addison's disease, and congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) with cortisone in the 1950s revolutionized clinical endocrinology and steroid research. Cases of CAH had been reported in the 19th century, but a defect in 21-hydroxylation in CAH was not identified until 1957. Other forms of CAH, including deficiencies of 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, 11β-hydroxylase, and 17α-hydroxylase were defined hormonally in the 1960s. Cytochrome P450 enzymes were described in 1962-1964, and steroid 21-hydroxylation was the first biosynthetic activity associated with a P450. Understanding of the genetic and biochemical bases of these disorders advanced rapidly from 1984 to 2004. The cloning of genes for steroidogenic enzymes and related factors revealed many mutations causing known diseases and facilitated the discovery of new disorders. Genetics and cell biology have replaced steroid chemistry as the key disciplines for understanding and teaching steroidogenesis and its disorders.

Impacts of pregnane X receptor and cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase gene polymorphisms on trough concentrations of apixaban in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. Eur J Clin Pharmacol 2023; 79:127-135. [PMID: 36399204 DOI: 10.1007/s00228-022-03424-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2022] [Accepted: 11/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE We examined the impact of polymorphisms in genes encoding cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A5 (gene code CYP3A5), P-glycoprotein (ABCB1), breast cancer resistance protein (ABCG2), cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (POR), and pregnane X receptor (PXR; NR1I2) on the daily dose-adjusted steady-state trough concentrations (C0h/D) of apixaban. METHODS The analyses included 104 patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) undergoing AF catheter ablation. The CYP3A5*3; ABCG2 421C > A; ABCB1 1236C > T, 2677G > A/T, 3435C > T, and 2482-2236G > A; NR1I2 11156A > C, 11193T > C, and 8055C > T; and POR*28 genotypes were determined. The combination of the noted NR1I2 genotypes determined the PXR*1B haplotype. RESULTS Multiple linear regression analyses demonstrated that decreased creatinine clearance (Ccr) and the PXR*1B/*1B haplotype correlated with increased C0h/D of apixaban, while the presence of the POR*28 allele correlated with decreased C0h/D of apixaban (partial R2 = 0.168, 0.029, and 0.044, all P < 0.05). The mean (95% CI) of estimated marginal means of apixaban C0h/D calculated using Ccr as a covariate was the highest in POR*28 noncarriers with PXR*1B/*1B (23.5 [21.0-25.9] ng/mL/[mg/day]) and lowest in POR*28 carriers with other haplotypes (16.6 [15.5-17.7] ng/mL/[mg/day]). CONCLUSION The PXR*1B haplotype and POR*28 genotype statuses, which involve genes that impact the expression of multiple drug-metabolizing enzymes and drug-transporters, may have modest effects on the C0h/D of apixaban, but these effects were found to be small.

Loss of Protein Stability and Function Caused by P228L Variation in NADPH-Cytochrome P450 Reductase Linked to Lower Testosterone Levels. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms231710141. [PMID: 36077536 PMCID: PMC9456303 DOI: 10.3390/ijms231710141] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2022] [Revised: 08/28/2022] [Accepted: 08/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (POR) is the redox partner of steroid and drug-metabolising cytochromes P450 located in the endoplasmic reticulum. Mutations in POR cause a broad range of metabolic disorders. The POR variant rs17853284 (P228L), identified by genome sequencing, has been linked to lower testosterone levels and reduced P450 activities. We expressed the POR wild type and the P228L variant in bacteria, purified the proteins, and performed protein stability and catalytic functional studies. Variant P228L affected the stability of the protein as evidenced by lower unfolding temperatures and higher sensitivity to urea denaturation. A significant decline in the rate of electron transfer to cytochrome c and thiazolyl blue tetrazolium (MTT) was observed with POR P228L, while activities of CYP3A4 were reduced by 25% and activities of CYP3A5 and CYP2C9 were reduced by more than 40% compared with WT POR. The 17,20 lyase activity of CYP17A1, responsible for the production of the main androgen precursor dehydroepiandrosterone, was reduced to 27% of WT in the presence of the P228L variant of POR. Based on in silico and in vitro studies, we predict that the change of proline to leucine may change the rigidity of the protein, causing conformational changes in POR, leading to altered electron transfer to redox partners. A single amino acid change can affect protein stability and cause a severe reduction in POR activity. Molecular characterisation of individual POR mutations is crucial for a better understanding of the impact on different redox partners of POR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The introduction of tacrolimus (TAC) in clinical practice was essential to the establishment of transplantation as therapy for patients with chronic renal disease. However, the higher interindividual variation of TAC metabolism has been an important limiting factor for its clinical use. Although the relationship between CYP3A5 polymorphisms and TAC pharmacokinetics (PK) is well established, the effects of other genetic variants on TAC metabolism, such as POR*28, still remain uncertain. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact of POR variants on TAC PK in renal transplant patients with different CYP3A5 genotypes (expressers and non-expressers). METHODS A total of 115 patients were included in this study. Genomic DNA was isolated from peripheral blood, and the real-time PCR technique was used to analyze the polymorphism POR rs1057868; C>T. RESULTS During the initial post-transplant period, variant allele carriers (*1/*28 and *28/*28) showed a lower TAC dose requirement than POR wild homozygotes (*1/*1). Regarding the influence of the different polymorphisms of POR within the CYP3A5 expresser and non-expresser groups, no differences were observed in any of the PK parameters analyzed during 12 months after transplantation. CONCLUSION In the studied population, the variant allelic POR*28 was significantly associated with lower TAC dose requirements and higher Co/D ratio in the first-month post-transplant. However, the effects of this polymorphism on the CYP3A5 enzyme activity were not observed.

Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14020261.

Abstract
There are conflicting results regarding the effect of the P450 oxidoreductase (POR) *28 genotype on the tacrolimus (TAC) pharmacokinetics (PKs) during the early post-transplantation period in adult renal transplant recipients. Thus, we characterized the impact of POR*28 on TAC PKs. We conducted a systematic review on the association between POR*28 and PKs of TAC in adult renal transplant recipients. Structured searches were conducted using PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase. TAC standardized trough concentration (ng/mL per mg/kg) data were extracted. Mean differences (MD) and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to identify the differences between the POR*28 genotype and PKs of TAC. The subgroup analysis was conducted according to CYP3A5 expression status. Six studies (n = 1061) were included. TAC standardized trough concentrations were significantly lower in recipients with the POR*28 allele compared to recipients with POR*1/*1 (MD: 8.30 ng/mL per mg/kg; 95% CI: 1.93, 14.67; p = 0.01). In the subgroup analysis, TAC standardized trough concentrations were lower for subjects who were POR*28 carriers than those who were POR*1/*1 in CYP3A5 expressers (MD: 20.21 ng/mL per mg/kg; 95% CI: 16.85, 23.56; p < 0.00001). No significant difference between POR*28 carriers and POR*1/*1 was found in the CYP3A5 non-expressers. The results of our meta-analysis demonstrated a definite correlation between the POR*28 genotype and PKs of TAC. Patients carrying the POR*28 allele may require a higher dose of TAC to achieve target levels compared to those with POR*1/*1, especially in CYP3A5 expressers.

Abstract
Most steroidogenesis disorders are caused by mutations in genes encoding the steroidogenic enzymes, but work in the past 20 years has identified related disorders caused by mutations in the genes encoding the cofactors that transport electrons from NADPH to P450 enzymes. Most P450s are microsomal and require electron donation by P450 oxidoreductase (POR); by contrast, mitochondrial P450s require electron donation via ferredoxin reductase (FdxR) and ferredoxin (Fdx). POR deficiency is the most common and best-described of these new forms of congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Severe POR deficiency is characterized by the Antley-Bixler skeletal malformation syndrome and genital ambiguity in both sexes, and hence is easily recognized, but mild forms may present only with infertility and subtle disorders of steroidogenesis. The common POR polymorphism A503V reduces catalysis by P450c17 (17-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase) and the principal drugmetabolizing P450 enzymes. The 17,20-lyase activity of P450c17 requires the allosteric action of cytochrome b5, which promotes interaction of P450c17 with POR, with consequent electron transfer. Rare b5 mutations are one of several causes of 17,20-lyase deficiency. In addition to their roles with steroidogenic mitochondrial P450s, Fdx and FdxR participate in the synthesis of iron-sulfur clusters used by many enzymes. Disruptions in the assembly of Fe-S clusters is associated with Friedreich ataxia and Parkinson disease. Recent work has identified mutations in FdxR in patients with neuropathic hearing loss and visual impairment, somewhat resembling the global neurologic disorders seen with mitochondrial diseases. Impaired steroidogenesis is to be expected in such individuals, but this has not yet been studied.

Abstract
The function of an enzyme depends on its dynamic structure, and the catalytic mechanism has long been an active focus of research. The principle for interpreting protein selectivity and fidelity stems from optimization of the active site upon protein-substrate complexation, i.e., a lock-and-key configuration, on which most protein-substrate molecule binding recognition, and hence drug discovery, relies. Yet another thought has been to incorporate the protein folding interior tunnels for stereo- and regio-selectivity along the protein-substrate or protein-ligand/inhibitor binding process. Free energy calculations provide valuable information for molecular recognition and protein-ligand binding dynamics and kinetics. In this study, we focused on the kinetics of cytochrome P450 proteins (CYP450s) and the protein interior tunnel structure-dynamics relationship in terms of the substrate binding and leaving mechanism. A case in point is given by the prostaglandin H2 (PGH2) homologous isomerase of prostacyclin synthase. To calculate the reactant and product traversing the tunnels to and from the heme site, the free energy paths and tunnel potentials of mean force are constructed from steered molecular dynamics simulations and adaptive basing force umbrella sampling simulations. We explore the binding tunnels and critical residue lining characteristics for the ligand traverse and the underlying mechanism of CYP450 activity. Our theoretical analysis provides insights into the decisive role of the substrate tunnel binding process of the CYP450 mechanism and may be useful in drug design and protein engineering contexts.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) metabolizes estrogens, melatonin, and other key endogenous signaling molecules critical for embryonic/fetal development. The enzyme has increasing expression during pregnancy, and its inhibition or knockout increases embryonic/fetal lethality and/or developmental problems. Here, we present a virtual screening model for CYP1A1 inhibitors based on the orthosteric and predicted allosteric sites of the enzyme. Using 1001 reference compounds with CYP1A1 activity data, we optimized the decision thresholds of our model and classified the training compounds with 68.3% balanced accuracy (91.0% sensitivity and 45.7% specificity). We applied our final model to 11 known CYP1A1 orthosteric binders and related compounds, and found that our ranking of the known orthosteric binders generally agrees with the relative activity of CYP1A1 in metabolizing these compounds. We also applied the model to 22 new test compounds with unknown/unclear CYP1A1 inhibitory activity, and predicted 16 of them are CYP1A1 inhibitors. The CYP1A1 potency and modes of inhibition of these 22 compounds were experimentally determined. We confirmed that most predicted inhibitors, including drugs contraindicated during pregnancy (amiodarone, bicalutamide, cyproterone acetate, ketoconazole, and tamoxifen) and environmental agents suspected to be endocrine disruptors (bisphenol A, diethyl and dibutyl phthalates, and zearalenone), are indeed potent inhibitors of CYP1A1. Our results suggest that virtual screening may be used as a rapid tier-one method to screen for potential CYP1A1 inhibitors, and flag them out for further experimental evaluations.

Abstract
CONTEXT Mutations in cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (POR) cause a form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). We report a novel R550W mutation in POR identified in a 46,XX patient with signs of aromatase deficiency. OBJECTIVE Analysis of aromatase deficiency from the R550W mutation in POR. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PATIENT Both the child and the mother had signs of virilization. Ultrasound revealed the presence of uterus and ovaries. No defects in CYP19A1 were found, but further analysis with a targeted Disorders of Sexual Development NGS panel (DSDSeq.V1, 111 genes) on a NextSeq (Illumina) platform in Madrid and Barcelona, Spain, revealed compound heterozygous mutations c.73_74delCT/p.L25FfsTer93 and c.1648C > T/p.R550W in POR. Wild-type and R550W POR were produced as recombinant proteins and tested with multiple cytochrome P450 enzymes at University Children's Hospital, Bern, Switzerland. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE AND RESULTS POR-R550W showed 41% of the WT activity in cytochrome c and 7.7% activity for reduction of MTT. Assays of CYP19A1 showed a severe loss of activity, and CYP17A1 as well as CYP21A2 activities were also lost by more than 95%. Loss of CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP3A4 activities was observed for the R550W-POR. Predicted adverse effect on aromatase activity as well as a reduction in binding of NADPH was confirmed. CONCLUSIONS Pathological effects due to POR-R550W were identified, expanding the knowledge of molecular pathways associated with aromatase deficiency. Screening of the POR gene may provide a diagnosis in CAH without defects in genes for steroid metabolizing enzymes.

Mol Genet Genomic Med 2020; 8:e1201. [PMID: 32134573 PMCID: PMC7216797 DOI: 10.1002/mgg3.1201] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2019] [Revised: 02/16/2020] [Accepted: 02/21/2020] [Indexed: 01/26/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of P450 oxidoreductase (POR) genetic polymorphisms on the pharmacokinetic parameters of amlodipine. METHODS After a single 10-mg dose of amlodipine administration, 25 healthy male subjects completed genotyping for 12 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the POR genes, cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A4 g.25343G>A (CYP3A4*1G), and CYP3A5 g.12083G>A (CYP3A5*3). Stratified analysis and in silico analysis to predict the possible effects of given variants on splicing were performed. RESULTS The maximum blood concentration (Cmax ) of amlodipine in carriers of g.57332T>C and g.56551G>A SNPs of the POR gene was statistically significantly different. In addition, T-allele carriers of g.57332T>C had a 21% higher Cmax than those with the CC genotype (p = .007). Subjects who carried the wild-type g.56551G>A allele also had a 1.12-fold significantly higher Cmax than subjects with mutant-type homozygous carriers (p = .033). In stratified analyses, g.57332T>C was significantly associated with a 1.3-fold increase in Cmax value in T-allele carriers compared with subjects with the CC genotype in CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 expressers. POR g.57332T>C increased the score above the threshold in both ESEfinder 3.0 and HSF 3.1. CONCLUSION This study identified a novel SNP of the POR gene, which affected amlodipine metabolism and may reduce interindividual variation in responses to amlodipine.

Variability of voriconazole concentrations in patients with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and hematological malignancies: influence of loading dose, procalcitonin, and pregnane X receptor polymorphisms. Eur J Clin Pharmacol 2020; 76:515-523. [PMID: 31932875 DOI: 10.1007/s00228-020-02831-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2019] [Accepted: 01/08/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
AIMS Voriconazole (VCZ) displays highly variable pharmacokinetics affecting treatment efficacy and safety. We aimed to identify the factors affecting VCZ steady-state trough concentration (Cssmin) to provide evidence for optimizing VCZ treatment regimens. METHODS A total of 510 Cssmin of 172 patients with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and hematologic malignancies and their clinical characteristics and genotypes of FMO, POR, and PXR were included in this study. RESULTS In univariate analysis, the standard loading dose of VCZ significantly increased the Cssmin of VCZ (P < 0.001). The Cssmin of VCZ was significantly correlated with patients' total bilirubin (TB) (P < 0.001) and procalcitonin (PCT) (P < 0.001). FMO3 rs2266780 (P = 0.025), POR rs10954732 (P = 0.015), PXR rs2461817 (P = 0.010), PXR rs7643645 (P = 0.003), PXR rs3732359 (P = 0.014), PXR rs3814057 (P = 0.005), and PXR rs6785049 (P = 0.013) have a significant effect on Cssmin of VCZ. Loading dose, TB, PCT level, and PXRrs3814057 polymorphism were independent influencing factors of VCZ Cssmin in the analysis of multivariate linear regression. And loading dose, PCT, and PXR rs3814057 had significant effects on the probability of the therapeutic window of VCZ. CONCLUSION The high variability of VCZ Cssmin may be partially explained by loading dose, liver function, inflammation, and PXR polymorphisms. This study suggests the VCZ standard loading dose regimen significantly increased Cssmin and probability of the therapeutic window providing treatment benefits. Patients in the high PCT group may be more likely to exceed 5.5 μg/mL, thus suffering from VCZ toxicity.

Abstract
Cytochromes P450 located in the endoplasmic reticulum require NADPH cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (POR) for their catalytic activities. Mutations in POR cause multiple disorders in humans related to the biosynthesis of steroid hormones and also affect drug-metabolizing cytochrome P450 activities. Electron transfer in POR occurs from NADH to FAD to FMN, and the flexible hinge region in POR is essential for domain movements to bring the FAD and FMN close together for electron transfer. We tested the effect of variations in the hinge region of POR to check if the effects would be similar across all redox partners or there will be differences in activities. Here we are reporting the effects of a POR genetic variant P284T located in the hinge region of POR that is necessary for the domain movements and internal electron transfer between co-factors. Human wild-type and P284T mutant of POR and cytochrome P450 proteins were expressed in bacteria, purified, and reconstituted for enzyme assays. We found that for the P284T variant of POR, the cytochrome c reduction activity was reduced to 47% of the WT and MTT reduction was reduced to only 15% of the WT. No impact on ferricyanide reduction activity was observed, indicating intact direct electron transfer from FAD to ferricyanide, but a severe loss of CYP19A1 (aromatase) activity was observed (9% of WT). In the assays of drug-metabolizing cytochrome P450 enzymes, the P284T variant of POR showed 26% activity for CYP2C9, 44% activity for CYP2C19, 23% activity for CYP3A4, and 44% activity in CYP3A5 assays compared to the WT POR. These results indicate a severe effect on several cytochrome P450 activities due to the P284T variation in POR, which suggests a negative impact on both the steroid as well as drug metabolism in the individuals carrying this variation. The negative impact of P284T mutation in the hinge region of POR seems to be due to disruption of FAD to FMN electron transfer. These results further emphasize the importance of hinge region in POR for protein flexibility and electron transfer within POR as well as the interaction of POR with different redox partners.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes are involved in the metabolism of many endogenous and exogenous substances. They need electrons for their activity. CYP mediated oxidation reactions require cytochrome oxidoreductase (POR) as an electron donor. A common genetic variation identified in the coding region of POR gene (POR*28) leads to an alteration in POR activity by causing amino acid change. The current study aimed to determine the allele and genotype frequencies of POR*28 in a healthy Turkish population by using a novel genotyping assay. METHODS A novel PCR-RFLP assay was developed for the detection of POR*28 (rs1057868) polymorphism and the obtained frequencies were compared with the data established in various ethnic groups. RESULTS Genotypic analysis revealed that of 209 healthy, unrelated individuals tested for POR*28 polymorphism, 55.5% of the studied subjects were homozygous for the CC genotype, 34.9% were heterozygous for the CT genotype and 9.6% were homozygous for the TT genotype. The allele frequencies were 0.73 (C) and 0.27 (T). The present results were in accordance with the Hardy- Weinberg equilibrium. The distribution of POR*28 allele varies between populations. The frequency of the T allele among members of the Turkish population was similar to frequencies in Caucasian populations but was lower than in Japanese and Chinese populations. CONCLUSIONS In this study, a novel method was developed, which could be applied easily in every laboratory for the genotyping of POR *28 polymorphism. The developed genotyping method and documented allele frequencies may have potential in understanding and predicting the variations in drug response/adverse reactions in pharmacotherapy and susceptibility to diseases in POR-mediated metabolism reactions.

Abstract
NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR) is the natural redox partner of microsomal cytochrome P450 enzymes. CPR shows a stringent preference for NADPH over the less expensive cofactor, NADH, economically limiting its use as a biocatalyst. The complexity of cofactor-linked CPR protein dynamics and the incomplete understanding of the interaction of CPR with both cofactors and electron acceptors present challenges for the successful rational engineering of a CPR with enhanced activity with NADH. Here, we report a rational evolution approach to enhance the activity of CPR with NADH, in which mutations were introduced into the NADPH-binding flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) domain. Multiple CPR mutants that used NADH more effectively than the wild-type CPR in the reduction of the surrogate electron acceptor, cytochrome c were found. However, most were inactive in supporting P450 activity, arguing against the use of cytochrome c as a surrogate electron acceptor. Unexpectedly, several mutants showed significantly improved activity towards CYP2C9 (mutant 1-014) and/or CYP2A6 (mutants 1-014, 1-015, 1-053 and 1-077) using NADPH, even though the mutations were introduced at locations remote from the putative CPR-P450 interaction face. Therefore, mutations at sites in the FAD domain of CPR may be promising future engineering targets to enhance P450-mediated substrate turnover. ENZYMES: NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase - EC 1.6.2.4; cytochrome P450 - EC 1.14.14.1.

Abstract
Our current study investigates the prognostic values of genetic variants and mRNA expression of cytochrome p450 oxidoreductase (POR) in hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A total of 19 candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in the exons of POR were genotyped using Sanger sequencing from 476 HBV-related HCC patients who underwent hepatectomy between 2003 and 2013. The mRNA expression of POR in 212 patients with HBV-related HCC was obtained from GSE14520 dataset. Survival analysis was performed to investigate the association of POR variants and mRNA expression with overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS). Nomograms were used to predict the prognosis of HBV-related HCC patients. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was used to investigate the mechanism of POR in HBV-related HCC prognosis. The polymorphism POR-rs1057868 was significantly associated with HBV-related HCC OS (CT/TT vs. CC, hazard ratio [HR] = 0.69, 95% confidence interval [CI] = [0.54, 0.88], P = 0.003), but not significantly associated with RFS (CT/TT vs. CC, P = 0.378). POR mRNA expression was also significantly associated with HBV-related HCC OS (high vs. low, HR = 0.61, 95% CI = [0.38, 0.97], P = 0.036), but not significantly associated with the RFS (high vs. low, P = 0.201). Two nomograms were developed to predict the HBV-related HCC OS. Furthermore, GSEA suggests that multiple gene sets were significantly enriched in liver cancer survival and recurrence, as well as POR-related target therapy in the liver. In conclusion, our study suggests that POR-rs1057868 and mRNA expression may serve as a potential postoperative prognosis biomarker in HBV-related HCC.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase deficiency (PORD) is a rare disease exhibiting a variety of clinical manifestations. This condition specifically leads to disordered steroidogenesis, which can affect the development of the reproductive system, skeleton, and other parts of the body. The severe form of PORD is difficult to differentiate with Antley-Bixler syndrome (ABS). The genetic characters and clinical evaluation of PORD are still unclear in China. OBJECTIVE To perform an exome analysis and identify the pathogenic cause in order to assist clinicians to obtain a proper evaluation on the genetic condition. METHODS The proband underwent detailed physical evaluations. DNA of the proband and his parents was isolated and whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed. Variants were analyzed and evaluation according to the ACMG guideline. RESULTS A 1-year-old Chinese boy with midface hypoplasia, choanal stenosis, multiple joint contractures, micropenis and right cryptorchidism was misdiagnosed with Crouzon syndrome. By trio-whole-exome sequencing, we identified an unreported compound heterozygous mutation (c.667C>T, p.R223* and c.1370G>A, p.R457H) in POR in the proband. This mutation was inherited from healthy heterozygous parents, supporting the diagnosis of PORD, which was further confirmed by biochemical characteristics. INTERPRETATION We have identified a pathogenic variant with an unreported compound heterozygous POR mutation, which expands the clinical and genetic spectra of PORD and emphasizes the usefulness of WES for genetic diagnosis.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 enzymes are required for the synthesis of cholesterol and steroid hormones. Cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (POR) donates electrons to microsomal cytochrome P450 enzymes. POR deficiency (PORD) is a rare autosomal recessive disease. In patients with PORD, steroid hormone synthesis is disrupted, which can cause infertility. The objective of this study was to report on a case of in vitro fertilization-frozen embryo transfer (IVF-FET) in a patient with PORD. The patient's hormone (i.e. 17α-hydroxyprogesterone) and electrolyte levels were within normal ranges ordinarily. Upon controlled ovarian stimulation, follicle growth was normal, but serum estrogen and progesterone levels were low and high, respectively. The serum progesterone level was elevated after long-acting gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist treatment, and an endometrial biopsy showed a change in the proliferative phase. Genetic tests detected homozygous mutations (c.976 T > G, p.Y326D) in exon 10 of the POR gene. The frozen embryo was transferred during the administration of hormone replacement therapy. No significant morphological or metabolic abnormalities were observed in the neonate. Our findings suggest that infertile women with normal hormone levels may have metabolic diseases such as PORD. Further studies are needed to determine the cause of these diseases and to assist pregnancy in such women.

Abstract
BackgroundAge-dependent differences in pharmacokinetics exist for metabolically cleared medications. Differential contributions in the cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A), CYP2C, and flavin-containing monooxygenases (FMOs) families have an important role in the metabolic clearance of a large number of drugs administered to children.MethodsUnlike previous semiquantitative characterization of age-dependent changes in the expression of genes and proteins (western blot analysis), this study quantifies both gene and absolute protein expression in the same fetal, pediatric, and adult hepatic tissue. Expression was then correlated with the corresponding functional activities in the same samples.ResultsCYP3A and FMO families showed a distinct switch from fetal (CYP3A7 and FMO1) to adult isoforms (CYP3A4 and FMO3) at birth, whereas CYP2C9 showed a linear maturation from birth into adulthood. In contrast, analysis of CYP2C19 revealed higher expression and catalytic efficiency in pediatric samples compared with that in fetal and adult samples. Further, CYP3A and FMO enzymes exhibited an unexpectedly higher functional activity in fetal samples not entirely explained by protein expression.ConclusionThese surprising findings suggest that CYP and FMO enzymes may encounter development-related differences in their microenvironments that can influence the enzyme activity in addition to protein expression levels.

Abstract
All cytochromes P450s in the endoplasmic reticulum rely on P450 oxidoreductase (POR) for their catalytic activities. Mutations in POR cause metabolic disorders of steroid hormone biosynthesis and affect certain drug metabolizing P450 activities. We studied mutations A115V, T142A, Q153R identified in the flavin mononucleotide (FMN) binding domain of POR that interacts with partner proteins and P284L located in the hinge region that is required for flexibility and domain movements in POR. Human wild-type (WT) and mutant POR as well as CYP3A4 and CYP19A1 proteins in recombinant form were expressed in bacteria, and purified proteins were reconstituted in liposomes for enzyme kinetic assays. Quality of POR protein was checked by cytochrome c reduction assay as well as flavin content measurements. We found that proteins carrying mutations A115V, T142A located close to the FMN binding site had reduced flavin content compared to WT POR and lost almost all activity to metabolize androstenedione via CYP19A1 and showed reduced CYP3A4 activity. The variant P284L identified from apparently normal subjects also had severe loss of both CYP19A1 and CYP3A4 activities, indicating this to be a potentially disease causing mutation. The mutation Q153R initially identified in a patient with disordered steroidogenesis showed remarkably increased activities of both CYP19A1 and CYP3A4 without any significant change in flavin content, indicating improved protein–protein interactions between POR Q153R and some P450 proteins. These results indicate that effects of mutations on activities of individual cytochromes P450 can be variable and a detailed analysis of each variant with different partner proteins is necessary to accurately determine the genotype-phenotype correlations of POR variants.

Abstract
Background Cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase deficiency (PORD) is a rare disease exhibiting a variety of clinical manifestations. It can be difficult to differentiate with other diseases such as 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD), polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and Antley–Bixler syndrome (ABS). Nearly 100 cases of PORD have been reported worldwide. However, the genetic characters and clinical management are still unclear, especially in China. Case presentation In this study, we report a 27-year-old female Chinese patient who first presented with amenorrhea and recurrence of large ovary cyst. She was misdiagnosed with PCOS and non-classical 21-OHD due to ovary cysts and elevated 17-hydroxy-progesterone. The patient’s complaining of a mild difficulty of bending the metacarpophalangeal joints reminded us to consider PORD, which usually presents with skeletal deformities and sexual dysfunction. The diagnosis of PORD was confirmed by genetic analyses, which showed the patient harboring a homozygous missense mutation in the POR gene (R457H) and her parents carrying the heterozygous mutation. The patient was treated with low-dose corticosteroids and estrogen/progesterone sequential therapy, and her ovarian cyst gradually reduced with regular menstruation in the follow-up. Moreover, the clinical and genetic characteristics of 104 previously reported PORD cases were also summarized and analyzed. Conclusions PORD is a very rare disease which can be easily misdiagnosed in mild cases. Clinicians should keep in mind of this disease in patients with sexual dysfunction, especially combined with special skeletal deformities. Our data could provide a consciously understanding of this disease for clinic practicers. Low-dose corticosteroids combined with estrogen/progesterone sequential therapy will be effective in PORD patients with recurrence of large ovary cyst. The fact that the reported PORD patients in China carrying an identical variant R457H in POR gene also give us a viewpoint that R457H mutation in POR gene maybe important in causing PORD in Chinese as same as in Japanese.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 aromatase (CYP19A1), in human placenta metabolizes androgens to estrogens and uses reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate through cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (POR) for the energy requirements of its metabolic activities. Mutations in the human POR lead to congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to loss of activities of several steroid metabolizing enzymatic reactions conducted by the cytochrome P450 proteins located in the endoplasmic reticulum. Effect of POR mutations on different P450 activities depend on individual partner proteins. In this report we have studied the impact of mutations found in the POR on the enzymatic activity of CYP19A1. We expressed wild type as well mutant human POR proteins in bacteria and purified the recombinant proteins, which were then used in an in vitro reconstitution system in combination with CYP19A1 and lipids for enzymatic analysis. We found that several mutations as well as polymorphisms in human POR can cause reduction of CYP19A1 activity. This would affect metabolism of estrogens in people with variations of POR allele. The POR mutants Y181D and R616X were found to have no activity in supporting CYP19A1 reactions. The POR mutations Y607C and delF646 showed a loss of 60-90% activity and two polymorphic forms of POR, R316W and G413S showed similar to WT activity. One POR variant, Q153R had almost double the activity of WT. Loss of CYP19A1 activity may contribute to disordered steroidogenesis in female patients with POR mutations as well as in mothers with POR variants carrying a male child.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (POR) is required for metabolic reactions of steroid and drug metabolizing cytochrome P450 proteins located in endoplasmic reticulum. Mutations in POR cause a complex set of disorders resembling combined deficiencies of multiple steroid metabolizing enzymes. The P450 oxidoreductase deficiency (PORD) was first reported in patients with symptoms of defects in steroidogenic cytochrome P450 enzymes and ambiguous genitalia, and bone malformation features resembling Antley-Bixler syndrome. POR is now classified as a separate and rare form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), which may cause disorder of sexual development (DSD). Since the initial description of PORD in 2004, a large number of POR mutations and polymorphisms have been described. In this report we have performed computational analysis of mutations and polymorphisms in POR linked to metabolism of steroids and xenobiotics and pathology of PORD from the reported cases. The mutations in POR that were identified in patients with disruption of steroidogenesis also have severe effects on cytochrome P450 proteins involved in metabolism of drugs. Different variations in POR show a range of diverse effects on different partner proteins that are often linked to the location of the particular variants. The variations in POR that cause defective binding of co-factors always have damaging effects on all partner proteins, while the mutations causing subtle structural changes may lead to altered interaction with partner proteins and the overall effect may be different for each individual partner. Computational analysis of available sequencing data and mutation analysis shows that Japanese (R457H), Caucasian (A287P) and Turkish (399-401) populations can be linked to unique founder mutations. Other mutations identified so far were identified as rare alleles or in single isolated reports. The common polymorphism of POR is the variant A503V which can be found in about 27% of alleles in general population but there are remarkable differences among different sub populations.

Abstract
AIM Cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (POR) is the only flavoprotein that donates electrons to all microsomal P450 enzymes (CYP), and several POR SNPs have been shown to be important contributors to altered CYP activity or CYP-mediated drug metabolism. In this study we examined the association between 6 POR SNPs and tacrolimus concentrations in Chinese renal transplant recipients. METHODS A total of 154 renal transplant recipients were enrolled. Genotyping of CYP3A5*3 and 6 POR SNPs was performed. All patients received a triple immunosuppressive regimen comprising tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil and prednisone. Dose-adjusted tacrolimus trough concentrations were obtained on d 7 (C0D7/D) after transplantation when steady-state concentration of tacrolimus was achieved (dosage had been unchanged for more than 3 d). RESULTS Tacrolimus C0D7/D in CYP3A5*3/*3/ POR rs1057868-rs2868177 GC-GT diplotype carriers was 1.62- and 2.72-fold higher than those in CYP3A5*3/*3/ POR rs1057868-rs2868177 GC-GT diplotype non-carriers and CYP3A5*1 carriers (220.17±48.09 vs 135.69±6.86 and 80.84±5.27 ng/mL/mg/kg, respectively, P<0.0001). Of CYP3A5*3/*3/ POR rs1057868-rs2868177GC-GT diplotype carriers, 85.71% exceeded the upper limit of the target range (8 ng/mL), which was also significantly higher compared with the latter two groups (14.29% and 0.00%, respectively, P<0.0001). The CYP3A5*3 and POR rs1057868-rs2868177 GC-GT diplotype explained 31.7% and 5.7%, respectively, of the inter-individual variability of tacrolimus C0D7/D, whereas the POR rs1057868-rs2868177 GC-GT diplotype could explain 10.9% of the inter-individual variability of tacrolimus C0D7/D in CYP3A5 non-expressers. CONCLUSION The CYP3A5*3 and POR rs1057868-rs2868177 GC-GT diplotype accounted for the inter-individual variation of tacrolimus C0D7/D. Genotyping of POR rs1057868-rs2868177 diplotypes would help to differentiate initial tacrolimus dose requirements and to achieve early target C0 ranges in Chinese renal transplant recipients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cyclophosphamide is commonly used as an important component in conditioning prior to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, a curative treatment for several hematological diseases. Cyclophosphamide is a prodrug activated mainly by cytochrome P450 2B6 (CYP2B6) in the liver. A high degree of inter- and intra-individual variation in cyclophosphamide kinetics has been reported in several studies. MATERIALS AND METHODS Hydroxylation of cyclophosphamide was investigated in vitro using three microsomal batches of CYP2B6*1 with different ratios of POR/CYP expression levels. Twenty patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation were also included in the study. All patients received an i.v. infusion of cyclophosphamide (60 mg/kg/day, for two days) as a part of their conditioning. Blood samples were collected from each patient before cyclophosphamide infusion, 6 h after the first dose and before and 6 h after the second dose. POR gene expression was measured by mRNA analysis and the pharmacokinetics of cyclophosphamide and its active metabolite were determined. RESULTS A strong correlation between the in vitro intrinsic clearance of cyclophosphamide and the POR/CYP ratio was found. The apparent Km for CYP2B6.1 was almost constant (3-4 mM), while the CLint values were proportional to the POR/CYP ratio (3-34 μL/min/nmol CYP). In patients, the average expression of the POR gene in blood was significantly (P <0.001) up-regulated after cyclophosphamide infusion, with high inter-individual variations and significant correlation with the concentration ratio of the active metabolite 4-hydroxy-cyclophosphamide/cyclophosphamide. Nine patients were carriers for POR*28; four patients had relatively high POR expression. CONCLUSIONS This investigation shows for the first time that POR besides CYP2B6 can influence cyclophosphamide metabolism. Our results indicate that not only CYPs are important, but also POR expression and/or activity may influence cyclophosphamide bioactivation, affecting therapeutic efficacy and treatment related toxicity and hence on clinical outcome. Thus, both POR and CYP genotype and expression levels may have to be taken into account when personalizing treatment schedules to achieve optimal therapeutic drug plasma concentrations of cyclophosphamide.

Abstract
AIM In a cohort of 298 de-novo renal recipients treated with a standard tacrolimus loading dose of 0.2 mg/kg, the combined effects of the CYP3A5*1, POR*28, and CYP3A4*22 genotypes on early tacrolimus exposure (C0), dose requirements, and achievement of the therapeutic target, C0, were examined. The incidence of clinical events (e.g. acute rejection, diabetes mellitus) was compared between genotypes. RESULTS Fast metabolizers (CYP3A5*1/POR*28T carriers) had two-fold to three-fold higher tacrolimus dose requirements compared with slow metabolizers (CYP3A5*3/*3/CYP3A4*22 carriers) and needed significantly more time to achieve the target tacrolimus C0 of a minimum 10 ng/ml (3.3±1.7 vs. 1.34±0.75 days; P<0.0001). No differences in acute rejection incidence and time to first rejection were observed. Slow metabolizers more frequently had tacrolimus C0 above the target range early after transplantation (70 vs. 13% on day 3); however, this did not translate into a higher incidence of post-transplantation diabetes mellitus or graft dysfunction. Multivariate analyses identified the CYP3A5*1/POR*28/CYP3A4*22 genotype combination as the single strongest determinant of tacrolimus dose requirements throughout the first year, explaining between 24-40% of its variability, whereas recipient age, hematocrit, and delayed graft function were additional nongenetic determinants of tacrolimus dose. CONCLUSION Combining the CYP3A5*1, POR*28 and CYP3A4*22 genotypes allows partial differentiation of early tacrolimus dose requirements and the time to reach therapeutic target concentrations after transplantation, but without obvious clinical implications. Larger prospective studies need to address the clinical relevance of early combined genotype-based tacrolimus dosing in de-novo renal recipients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In children and adolescents with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) pharmacotherapy with statins is the cornerstone in the current regimen to reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLc) and premature coronary heart disease risk. There is, however, a great interindividual variation in response to therapy, partially attributed to genetic factors. The polymorphic enzyme POR transfers electrons from NADPH to CYP450 enzymes including CYP3A, which metabolize atorvastatin. POR*28 polymorphism is associated with increased CYP3A enzyme activity. We analyzed the association of POR*28 allele with response to atorvastatin. MATERIALS & METHODS One hundred and five FH children and adolescents treated with atorvastatin at doses 10-40 mg were included in the study. Total cholesterol (TChol) and LDLc were measured at baseline and after 6 months of treatment. POR*28 allele was analyzed with TaqMan assay. CYP3A4*22, CYP3A5*3 and SLCO1B1 521T>C and 388A>G genotypes were also determined with TaqMan or PCR-RFLP methods. RESULTS POR*28 carriers had significantly lower percent mean reduction of TChol (33.1% in *1/*1, 29.8% in *1/*28 and 25.9% in *28/*28 individuals, p = 0.045) and of LDLc (43.9% in *1/*1, 40.9% in *1/*28 and 30.8% in *28/*28 individuals, p = 0.013). In multivariable linear regression adjusted for confounding factors, POR*28 genotypes, additionally to baseline cholesterol level, accounted for an estimated 8.3% and 7.3% of overall variability in % TChol and LDLc reduction (β: 4.05; 95% CI: 1.73-6.37; p = 0.001 and β: 5.08; 95% CI: 1.62-8.54; p = 0.004, respectively). CYP3A4*22, CYP3A5*3 and SLCO1B1 521T>C and 388A>G polymorphisms were not associated with lipid reductions and did not modify the effect of POR*28 on atorvastatin response. CONCLUSION In children with FH, carriage of POR*28 allele is associated with reduced effect of atorvastatin on TChol and LDLc and therefore identifies FH children that may require higher atorvastatin doses to achieve full therapeutic benefits. Additional studies in different populations are needed to replicate this association.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (POR) is a 2-flavin protein that transfers electrons from NADPH via its FAD and FMN moieties to all microsomal cytochrome P450 enzymes, including steroidogenic and drug-metabolizing P450s. Defects in the POR gene can cause POR deficiency (PORD), manifested clinically by disordered steroidogenesis, genital anomalies and skeletal malformations. We examined the POR mutant A287P, which is the most frequent cause of PORD in patients of European ancestry and partially disrupts most P450 activities in vitro. Flavin content analysis showed that A287P is deficient in FAD and FMN binding, although the mutation site is distant from the binding sites of both flavins. Externally added flavin partially restored the cytochrome c reductase activity of A287P, suggesting that flavin therapy may be useful for this frequent form of PORD. Transient kinetic dissection of the reaction of POR with NADPH and the reduction in cytochrome c by POR using stopped-flow techniques revealed defects in individual electron transfer steps mediated by A287P. A287P had impaired ability to accept electrons from NADPH, but was capable of a fast FMN → cytochrome c electron donation reaction. Thus the reduced rates of P450 activities with A287P may be due to deficient flavin and impaired electron transfer from NADPH.

Abstract
Spanning over 2000 years, the Jewish population has a long history of migration, population bottlenecks, expansions, and geographical isolation, which has resulted in a unique genetic architecture among the Jewish people. As such, many Mendelian disease genes and founder mutations for autosomal recessive diseases have been discovered in several Jewish groups, which have prompted recent genomic studies in the Jewish population on common disease susceptibility and other complex traits. Although few studies on the genetic determinants of drug response variability have been reported in the Jewish population, a number of unique pharmacogenetic variants have been discovered that are more common in Jewish populations than in other major racial groups. Notable examples identified in the Ashkenazi Jewish (AJ) population include the vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit 1 (VKORC1) c.106G>T (p.D36Y) variant associated with high warfarin dosing requirements and the recently reported cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) allele, CYP2C19*4B, that harbors both loss-of-function [*4 (c.1A>G)] and increased-function [*17 (c.-806C>T)] variants on the same haplotype. These data are encouraging in that like other ethnicities and subpopulations, the Jewish population likely harbors numerous pharmacogenetic variants that are uncommon or absent in other larger racial groups and ethnicities. In addition to unique variants, common multi-ethnic variants in key drug metabolism genes (e.g., ABCB1, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, NAT2) have also been detected in the AJ and other Jewish groups. This review aims to summarize the currently available pharmacogenetics literature and discuss future directions for related research with this unique population.

Abstract
Morphine, first characterized in opium from the poppy Papaver somniferum, is one of the strongest known analgesics. Endogenous morphine has been identified in several mammalian cells and tissues. The synthetic pathway of morphine in the opium poppy has been elucidated. The presence of common intermediates in plants and mammals suggests that biosynthesis occurs through similar pathways (beginning with the amino acid L-tyrosine), and the pathway has been completely delineated in plants. Some of the enzymes in the mammalian pathway have been identified and characterized. Two of the latter steps in the morphine biosynthesis pathway are demethylation of thebaine at the O(3)- and the O(6)-positions, the latter of which has been difficult to demonstrate. The plant enzymes responsible for both the O(3)-demethylation and the O(6)-demethylation are members of the Fe(II)/α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase family. Previous studies showed that human cytochrome P450 (P450) 2D6 can catalyze thebaine O(3)-demethylation. We report that demethylation of thebaine at the O(6)-position is selectively catalyzed by human P450s 3A4 and 3A5, with the latter being more efficient, and rat P450 3A2. Our results do not support O(6)-demethylation of thebaine by an Fe(II)/α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase. In rat brain microsomes, O(6)-demethylation was inhibited by ketoconazole, but not sulfaphenazole, suggesting that P450 3A enzymes are responsible for this activity in the brain. An alternate pathway to morphine, oripavine O(6)-demethylation, was not detected. The major enzymatic steps in mammalian morphine synthesis have now been identified.

Abstract
Human cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (POR) plays important roles in the metabolism of exogenous carcinogens and endogenous sterol hormones. However, few studies have explored the association between POR variants and the risk of bladder cancer. In this study, we first sequenced all 16 POR exons among 50 randomly selected controls, and found three variants, rs1135612, rs1057868 (A503V) and rs2228104, which were then assessed the relation to risk of bladder cancer in a case-control study of 1,050 bladder cancer cases and 1,404 cancer-free controls in a Chinese population. People with A503V TT genotype have a decreased risk of bladder cancer in a recessive model (TT vs. CC/CT, OR = 0.73, 95% CI = 0.57–0.93), which was more pronounced among elderly male, non-smoking, subjects. Especially, A503V TT genotype showed a protective effect in the invasive tumor stage. Functional analysis revealed that A503V activity decreased in cytochrome c reduction (50.5 units/mg vs. 135.4 units/mg), mitomycin C clearance (38.3% vs. 96.8%), and mitomycin C-induced colony formation (78.0 vs 34.3 colonies per dish). The results suggested that POR A503V might decrease the risk of bladder cancer by reducing its metabolic activity, and should be a potential biomarker for predicting the susceptibility to human bladder cancer.

Abstract
A single enzyme, microsomal P450c17, catalyzes the 17α-hydroxylase activity needed to make cortisol and the subsequent 17,20 lyase activity needed to produce the 19-carbon precursors of sex steroids. The biochemical decision concerning whether P450c17 stops after 17α-hydroxylation or proceeds to 17,20 lyase activity is largely dependent on three post-translational factors. First, 17,20 lyase activity is especially sensitive to the molar abundance of the electron-transfer protein P450 oxidoreductase (POR). Second, cytochrome b5 strongly promotes 17,20 lyase activity, principally by acting as an allosteric factor promoting the interaction of P450c17 with POR, although a minor role as an alternative electron-transfer protein has not been wholly excluded. Third, the serine/threonine phosphorylation of P450c17 itself promotes 17,20 lyase activity, again apparently by promoting the interaction of P450c17 with POR. The principal kinase that phosphorylates P450c17 to confer 17,20 lyase activity appears to be p38α (MAPK14), which increases the maximum velocity of the 17,20 lyase reaction, while having no effect on the Michaelis constant for 17,20 lyase or any detectable effect on the 17α-hydroxylase reaction. Other kinases can also phosphorylate P450c17, but only p38α has been shown to affect its enzymology. Understanding the mechanisms regulating 17,20 lyase activity is essential for the understanding of hyperandrogenic disorders such as premature, exaggerated adrenarche and the polycystic ovary syndrome, and also for the design of selective 17,20 lyase inhibitors for use in hyperandrogenic states and in sex-steroid dependent cancers.

Abstract
AIM Estimating polymorphic allele frequencies of the NADPH-CYP450 oxidoreductase (POR) gene in a Czech Slavic population. METHODS The POR gene was analyzed in 322 individuals from a control cohort by sequencing and high resolution melting analysis. RESULTS We identified seven unreported SNP genetic variations, including two SNPs in the 5' flanking region (g.4965C>T and g.4994G>T), one intronic variant (c.1899-20C>T), one synonymous SNP (p.20Ala=) and three nonsynonymous SNPs (p.Thr29Ser, p.Pro384Leu and p.Thr529Met). The p.Pro384Leu variant exhibited reduced enzymatic activities compared with wild-type. CONCLUSION New POR variant identification indicates the number of uncommon variants might be specific for each subpopulation being investigated, particularly germane to the singular role that POR plays in providing reducing equivalents to all CYP450s in the endoplasmic reticulum.

P450 oxidoreductase *28 (POR*28) and tacrolimus disposition in pediatric kidney transplant recipients--a pilot study. Ther Drug Monit 2015; 36:152-8.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Both age and CYP3A5 genotype are important determinants of tacrolimus disposition in pediatric kidney transplant recipients. In a recent study in adults, POR*28 was associated with increased dosing requirements early after transplant of CYP3A5-expressing kidney transplant recipients. The authors aimed to evaluate the additional contribution of POR*28 to early tacrolimus disposition in pediatric kidney transplant recipients. METHODS Retrospective data of 43 pediatric kidney transplant recipients up to 14 days posttransplant were evaluated on tacrolimus dose and tacrolimus predose blood concentrations. Recipient POR*28 and CYP3A5 genotype were determined. RESULTS CYP3A5 expressers carrying at least 1 POR*28 allele had on average 18.3% lower tacrolimus predose concentrations and 20.2% lower concentration/dose ratios compared with CYP3A5 expressers with POR*1/*1 genotype (P = 0.002 and P = 0.001, respectively). In CYP3A5 nonexpressers, tacrolimus disposition did not significantly differ between POR genotypes. CONCLUSIONS In this small cohort of pediatric kidney transplant recipients, POR*28 genotype seems to explain part of the variability found in tacrolimus disposition, in addition to age and CYP3A5 genotype. This finding should be validated in a larger population, and it would be worthwhile to evaluate the clinical impact of this genotype.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to explore the effects of common genetic polymorphisms of cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A4, CYP3A5, cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (POR) and multidrug resistance protein 1 (MDR1) on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of amlodipine in primary hypertensive patients. The mild-to-moderate essential hypertension patients were recruited to complete the genotyping of CYP3A4, CYP3A5, POR and MDR1 by sequencing. After a 1-week placebo washout period, the subjects received 5 mg oral amlodipine daily for 4 weeks. Serial blood samples were collected prior to the last dosing, and 2, 6 and 24 h post-dosing. Blood pressures were measured prior and subsequent to dosing, and the demographical data were also collected. The blood samples were collected for laboratory testing. The plasma concentrations of amlodipine were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry. A total of 60 patients, including 31 males and 29 females, completed the 4-week treatment. The plasma concentration of amlodipine in females at each time point was significantly higher compared to males (P<0.05). However, no significant gender differences existed in antihypertensive efficacy. The genetic polymorphisms of MDR1 C3435T had a certain impact on the plasma concentration of amlodipine, but did not affect its antihypertensive efficacy (P>0.05). The genetic polymorphisms of CYP3A4*1G, CYP3A5*3 and POR A503V showed no impact on plasma concentration and efficacy of amlodipine (P>0.05). Gender and MDR1 gene polymorphism may affect the plasma concentration of amlodipine in hypertensive patients. However, there was no impact on the efficacy of amlodipine.
