Intestinal cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) both play a vital role in the metabolism of oral cyclosporine (CsA). We investigated the genetic polymorphisms in CYP3A4(promoter region and exons 5, 7 and 9) and MDR1 (exons 12, 21 and 26) genes and the impact of these polymorphisms on the pharmacokinetics of oral CsA in stable heart transplant patients (n = 14). CYP3A4 polymorphisms were rare in the Asian population and transplant patients. Haplotype analysis revealed 12 haplotypes in the Chinese, eight in the Malays and 10 in the Indians. T-T-T was the most common haplotype in all ethnic groups. The frequency of the homozygous mutant genotype at all three loci (TT-TT-TT) was highest in the Indians (31%) compared to 19% and 15% in the Chinese and Malays, respectively. In heart transplant patients, CsA exposure (AUC(0-4 h), AUC(0-12 h) and C(max)) was high in patients with the T-T-T haplotypes compared to those with C-G-C haplotypes. These findings suggest that haplotypes rather than genotypes influence CsA disposition in transplant patients.
肠道细胞色素P450 3A4(CYP3A4)和P-糖蛋白(P-gp)在口服环孢素(CsA)的代谢中均起着至关重要的作用。我们研究了CYP3A4(启动子区域以及外显子5、7和9)和MDR1(外显子12、21和26)基因的遗传多态性,以及这些多态性对稳定期心脏移植患者(n = 14)口服CsA药代动力学的影响。CYP3A4多态性在亚洲人群和移植患者中较为罕见。单倍型分析显示,中国人中有12种单倍型,马来西亚人中有8种,印度人中有10种。T-T-T是所有种族中最常见的单倍型。在所有三个位点的纯合突变基因型(TT-TT-TT)频率在印度人中最高(31%),而中国人和马来西亚人分别为19%和15%。在心脏移植患者中,与具有C-G-C单倍型的患者相比,具有T-T-T单倍型的患者的CsA暴露量(AUC(0 - 4 h)、AUC(0 - 12 h)和C(max))较高。这些发现表明,单倍型而非基因型影响移植患者体内CsA的处置。
