Cardiac side effects associated with anthracycline-based treatment may seriously compromise the prognosis of patients with breast cancer (BC). Evidence shows that genes that operate in drug metabolism can influence the risk of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (AIC). ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters could serve as one of the potential biomarkers for AIC risk stratification. We aimed to determine the link between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in several genes ( rs1045642, rs4148350, rs3743527) and cardiotoxicity.
The study included 71 patients with BC, who were treated with doxorubicin-based chemotherapy. Two-dimensional echocardiography and speckle-tracking echocardiography were performed. AIC was defined as a new decrease of 10 percentage points in the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). SNPs in and genes were evaluated using real-time PCR.
After a cumulative dose of 236.70 mg/m of doxorubicin, 28.2% patients met the criteria of AIC. Patients who developed AIC had a larger impairment in left ventricular systolic function compared to those who did not develop AIC (LVEF: 50.20 ± 2.38% vs. 55.41 ± 1.13%, < 0.001; global longitudinal strain: -17.03 ± 0.52% vs. -18.40 ± 0.88%, < 0.001). The rs4148350 TG genotype was associated with higher rates of cardiotoxicity (TG vs. GG OR = 8.000, 95% CI = 1.405-45.547, = 0.019).
The study showed that rs4148350 is associated with AIC and could be a potential biomarker to assess the risk of treatment side effects in patients with BC.
基于蒽环类药物的治疗相关的心脏副作用可能会严重影响乳腺癌(BC)患者的预后。有证据表明,参与药物代谢的基因可影响蒽环类药物诱导的心脏毒性(AIC)风险。ATP结合盒(ABC)转运蛋白可作为AIC风险分层的潜在生物标志物之一。我们旨在确定几个基因(rs1045642、rs4148350、rs3743527)中的单核苷酸多态性(SNP)与心脏毒性之间的联系。
该研究纳入了71例接受基于多柔比星化疗的BC患者。进行了二维超声心动图和斑点追踪超声心动图检查。AIC定义为左心室射血分数(LVEF)新下降10个百分点。使用实时PCR评估和基因中的SNP。
在累积剂量为236.70mg/m的多柔比星后,28.2%的患者符合AIC标准。发生AIC的患者与未发生AIC的患者相比,左心室收缩功能受损更大(LVEF:50.20±2.38%对55.41±1.13%,<0.001;整体纵向应变:-17.03±0.52%对-18.40±0.88%,<0.001)。rs4148350 TG基因型与更高的心脏毒性发生率相关(TG对GG OR = 8.000,95%CI = 1.405 - 45.547,= 0.019)。
该研究表明rs4148350与AIC相关,可能是评估BC患者治疗副作用风险的潜在生物标志物。
