抗结核药物引起的肝毒性(ATDH)是一种严重的药物不良反应,其致病机制仍在很大程度上未知。孕烷X受体(PXR,由NR1I2基因编码)是一种配体依赖性转录因子,利福平是人PXR特异性激活剂。利福平和异烟肼联合治疗通过PXR靶向卟啉生物合成,并导致肝原卟啉IX积累和随后的肝损伤。本研究旨在调查中国东部汉族人群中NR1I2基因多态性与ATDH之间的关联。
使用146例ATDH病例和584例对照进行了1:4匹配的病例对照研究。检测并分析了七个单核苷酸多态性(SNP)。多变量条件逻辑回归分析用于通过比值比(ORs)和95%置信区间(CI)估计基因型与ATDH风险之间的关联。有肝病史,使用肝脏保护剂,吸烟史和饮酒史作为协变量。
携带rs7643645GG基因型的患者患ATDH的风险高于携带AA基因型的患者(OR=1.864,95%CI:1.106-3.141,P=0.020),在隐性模型(P=.029)和加性模型(P=.021)下也存在显著差异。rs2276707多态性的患者在隐性模型下ATDH的风险降低(OR=0.600,95%CI:0.364-0.988,P=0.045)。亚组分析证实了加性模型(rs7643645,OR=1.429,95%CI:1.027-1.988,P=0.034)和隐性模型(rs2276707,OR=0.478,95%CI:0.253-0.902,P=0.023)下轻度肝毒性病例的关系。使用ENCODE数据的功能注释还表明rs2276707和rs7643645位于靶向增强子或启动子(H3K4Me1、H3K4Me3和H3K27Ac)的组蛋白修饰区中。
基于这项病例对照研究,NR1I2中的SNPrs7643645和rs2276707可能有助于中国东部汉族抗结核治疗患者对ATDH的易感性。需要在更大的不同人群中进行进一步的研究来验证我们的发现。
Anti-tuberculosis drug-induced hepatotoxicity (ATDH) is a serious adverse drug reaction, and its pathogenic mechanism is still largely unknown. Pregnane X receptor (PXR, encoded by the NR1I2 gene) is a ligand-dependent transcription factor, and rifampicin is a human PXR-specific activator. Rifampicin and isoniazid co-therapy targets porphyrin biosynthesis via PXR and results in hepatic protoporphyrin IX accumulation and subsequent liver injury. The present study aimed to investigate the associations between genetic polymorphisms in NR1I2 and ATDH in an Eastern Chinese Han population.
A 1:4 matched
case-control study was conducted using 146 ATDH cases and 584 controls. Seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were detected and analysed. Multivariate conditional logistic regression analysis was used to estimate the association between genotypes and risk of ATDH by the odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs), with liver disease history, hepatoprotectant use, smoking history and drinking history as covariates.
Patients carrying the GG genotype of rs7643645 were at a higher risk of ATDH than those carrying the AA genotype (OR = 1.864, 95% CI: 1.106-3.141, P = .020), and significant differences were also found under the recessive model (P = .029) and additive model (P = .021). Patients with a polymorphism at rs2276707 were at a reduced risk of ATDH under the recessive model (OR = 0.600, 95% CI: 0.364-0.988, P = .045). Subgroup analysis confirmed the relationship in mild hepatotoxicity cases under the additive model (rs7643645, OR = 1.429, 95% CI: 1.027-1.988, P = .034) and recessive model (rs2276707, OR = 0.478, 95% CI: 0.253-0.902, P = .023). Functional annotation using ENCODE data also indicated that rs2276707 and rs7643645 were located in the histone modification regions targeting enhancers or promoter (H3K4Me1, H3K4Me3 and H3K27Ac).
Based on this
case-control study, SNPs rs7643645 and rs2276707 in NR1I2 may contribute to susceptibility to ATDH in Eastern Chinese Han anti-TB treatment patients. Further studies in larger varied populations are needed to validate our findings.
