Up to 30% of patients with pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) do not respond to anti-Tumor Necrosis Factor (anti-TNF) therapy. The aim of this study was to identify pharmacogenomic markers that predict early response to anti-TNF drugs in pediatric patients with IBD.
An observational, longitudinal, prospective cohort study was conducted. The study population comprised 38 patients with IBD aged < 18 years who started treatment with infliximab or adalimumab (29 responders and nine non-responders). Whole gene expression profiles from total RNA isolated from whole blood samples of six responders and six non-responders taken before administration of the biologic and after two weeks of therapy were analyzed using next-generation RNA sequencing. The expression of six selected genes was measured for purposes of validation in all of the 38 patients recruited using qPCR.
Genes were differentially expressed in non-responders and responders (32 before initiation of treatment and 44 after two weeks, Log2FC (Fold change) >0.6 or <-0.6 and value < 0.05). After validation, , , and were overexpressed in non-responders two weeks after initiation of anti-TNF treatment (Log2FC 1.05, 1.21, and 1.08, respectively, value < 0.05).
Expression of the , , and genes is a pharmacogenomic biomarker of early response to anti-TNF agents in pediatric IBD.
高达30%的儿童炎症性肠病(IBD)患者对抗肿瘤坏死因子(anti-TNF)治疗无反应。本研究的目的是确定可预测IBD患儿对anti-TNF药物早期反应的药物基因组学标志物。
进行了一项观察性、纵向、前瞻性队列研究。研究人群包括38例年龄小于18岁开始使用英夫利昔单抗或阿达木单抗治疗的IBD患者(29例反应者和9例无反应者)。使用下一代RNA测序分析了6例反应者和6例无反应者在生物制剂给药前和治疗两周后从全血样本中分离的总RNA的全基因表达谱。为了验证,使用qPCR测量了所有38例招募患者中6个选定基因的表达。
基因在无反应者和反应者中差异表达(治疗开始前32个,两周后44个,Log2FC(倍数变化)>0.6或<-0.6且P值<0.05)。验证后,anti-TNF治疗开始两周后,无反应者中ANKRD30A、SLC11A1和IFI44L基因过表达(Log2FC分别为1.05、1.21和1.08,P值< 0.05)。
ANKRD30A、SLC11A1和IFI44L基因的表达是儿童IBD中anti-TNF药物早期反应的药物基因组学生物标志物。
