Long-acting β2-agonists and leukotriene receptor antagonists are two principal agents that can be added to inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) for patients with asthma that is not adequately controlled by ICS alone. The Gly16Arg genotype of the β2-adrenergic receptor (ADRB2) gene may influence the bronchodilator effects of β2-agonists. We hypothesized that differential responses to long-acting β2-agonists or leukotriene receptor antagonists might be determined partly by the Gly16Arg polymorphism in Japanese asthma patients.
This randomized, genotype-stratified, two-period crossover study included 80 patients with mild-to-moderate asthma (35 Arg/Arg and 45 Gly/Gly individuals). The primary study outcome was the difference in peak expiratory flow (ΔPEF) (ΔPEF, l/min) by genotype after 16 weeks of treatment with salmeterol (ΔPEFsal) or montelukast (ΔPEFmon). In addition, multivariate analyses were used to identify independent factors that were predictive of responses to each treatment.
The mean ΔPEFsal-ΔPEFmon was 19.3±46.6 among Arg/Arg individuals and 16.8±51.5 among Gly/Gly individuals, indicating that the Gly16Arg genotype did not influence the differential bronchodilator effect of the two agents. Multivariate analysis showed that higher peripheral eosinophil counts were associated with better response to salmeterol (P<0.05).
The Gly16Arg genotype did not influence the differential bronchodilator effect of salmeterol or montelukast as an add-on therapy to ICS within 16 weeks of follow-up. Higher peripheral eosinophil counts may be associated with better responses to salmeterol in combination with ICS.
长效β2受体激动剂和白三烯受体拮抗剂是两类主要药物,可添加到吸入性糖皮质激素(ICS)中,用于治疗单用ICS无法得到充分控制的哮喘患者。β2肾上腺素能受体(ADRB2)基因的Gly16Arg基因型可能会影响β2受体激动剂的支气管扩张作用。我们推测,日本哮喘患者对长效β2受体激动剂或白三烯受体拮抗剂的不同反应可能部分由Gly16Arg多态性决定。
这项随机、按基因型分层、两阶段交叉研究纳入了80例轻至中度哮喘患者(35例Arg/Arg个体和45例Gly/Gly个体)。主要研究结局是使用沙美特罗(ΔPEFsal)或孟鲁司特(ΔPEFmon)治疗16周后,按基因型分组的呼气峰值流速差异(ΔPEF)(ΔPEF,升/分钟)。此外,采用多变量分析来确定预测每种治疗反应的独立因素。
Arg/Arg个体的平均ΔPEFsal - ΔPEFmon为19.3±46.6,Gly/Gly个体为16.8±51.5,这表明Gly16Arg基因型并未影响这两种药物的支气管扩张差异效应。多变量分析显示,外周血嗜酸性粒细胞计数较高与对沙美特罗的反应较好相关(P<0.05)。
在16周的随访期内,Gly16Arg基因型并未影响沙美特罗或孟鲁司特作为ICS附加治疗的支气管扩张差异效应。外周血嗜酸性粒细胞计数较高可能与沙美特罗联合ICS治疗反应较好相关。
