Abstract
Background: BK virus (BKV) infection is an opportunistic infectious complication and constitutes a risk factor for premature graft failure in kidney transplantation. Our research aimed to identify associations and assess the impact of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on metabolism-related genes in patients who have undergone kidney transplantation with BKV infection.
Material/methods: The DNA samples of 200 eligible kidney transplant recipients from our center, meeting the inclusion criteria, have been collected and extracted. Next-generation sequencing was used to genotype SNPs on metabolism-associated genes (CYP3A4/5/7, UGT1A4/7/8/9, UGT2B7). A general linear model (GLM) was used to identify and eliminate confounding factors that may influence the outcome events. Multiple inheritance models and haplotype analyses were utilized to identify variation loci associated with infection caused by BKV and ascertain haplotypes, respectively.
Results: A total of 141 SNPs located on metabolism-related genes were identified. After Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) and minor allele frequency (MAF) analysis, 21 tagger SNPs were selected for further association analysis. Based on GLM results, no confounding factor was significant in predicting the incidence of BK polyomavirus-associated infection. Then, multiple inheritance model analyses revealed that the risk of BKV infection was significantly associated with rs3732218 and rs4556969. Finally, we detect significant associations between haplotype T-A-C of block 2 (rs4556969, rs3732218, rs12468274) and infection caused by BKV (P = 0.0004).
Conclusion: We found that genetic variants in the UGT1A gene confer BKV infection susceptibility after kidney transplantation.
期刊介绍:
Current Drug Metabolism aims to cover all the latest and outstanding developments in drug metabolism, pharmacokinetics, and drug disposition. The journal serves as an international forum for the publication of full-length/mini review, research articles and guest edited issues in drug metabolism. Current Drug Metabolism is an essential journal for academic, clinical, government and pharmaceutical scientists who wish to be kept informed and up-to-date with the most important developments. The journal covers the following general topic areas: pharmaceutics, pharmacokinetics, toxicology, and most importantly drug metabolism.
More specifically, in vitro and in vivo drug metabolism of phase I and phase II enzymes or metabolic pathways; drug-drug interactions and enzyme kinetics; pharmacokinetics, pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic modeling, and toxicokinetics; interspecies differences in metabolism or pharmacokinetics, species scaling and extrapolations; drug transporters; target organ toxicity and interindividual variability in drug exposure-response; extrahepatic metabolism; bioactivation, reactive metabolites, and developments for the identification of drug metabolites. Preclinical and clinical reviews describing the drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics of marketed drugs or drug classes.
