The aim of this study was to determine the influence of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the beta(2)-adrenoceptor gene, on the response to inhaled beta(2)-agonists in children with acute asthma. We hypothesised that children with polymorphisms that generate enhanced receptor downregulation in vitro, Gly16 and Gln27, would have a slower response to beta(2)-agonist therapy during acute asthma. One hundred and forty-eight children with acute asthma were recruited and genotyped for beta(2)Arg16Gly and beta(2)Gln27Glu. For Gln27Glu, individuals Gln27Gln took longest to stretch out to 1, 2 and 4 hourly beta(2)-agonists, followed by heterozygotes who were intermediate and Glu27Glu who responded most rapidly (1 hourly: 2.6 hr vs. 2.0 vs. 1.4, p = 0.02; 2 hourly: 10.6 hr vs. 10.7 vs. 6.8, p = 0.07; 4 hourly: 29.8 hr vs. 28.5 vs. 24.3, p = 0.30). The ability to prospectively identify children who respond less effectively to beta (2)-agonists during an acute asthma attack has the potential to allow the generation of genotype-specific treatment pathways.
本研究的目的是确定β₂肾上腺素能受体基因单核苷酸多态性对急性哮喘患儿吸入β₂激动剂反应的影响。我们假设,在体外产生增强受体下调的多态性儿童,即Gly16和Gln27,在急性哮喘期间对β₂激动剂治疗的反应会较慢。招募了148名急性哮喘患儿,并对其进行β₂Arg16Gly和β₂Gln27Glu基因分型。对于Gln27Glu,Gln27Gln个体对每小时1次、2次和4次β₂激动剂的舒张反应时间最长,其次是杂合子,其反应时间处于中间,而Glu27Glu个体反应最快(每小时1次:2.6小时对2.0小时对1.4小时,p = 0.02;每小时2次:10.6小时对10.7小时对6.8小时,p = 0.07;每小时4次:29.8小时对28.5小时对24.3小时,p = 0.30)。前瞻性识别在急性哮喘发作期间对β₂激动剂反应较差的儿童,有可能产生基因型特异性治疗途径。
