Abstract

BackgroundPregnane X receptor (PXR) regulates the expression of drug-metabolizing enzymes and transport enzymes. NF-κB not only plays a role in liver homeostasis and injury-healing processes by regulating inflammatory responses but may also regulate the transcription of PXR. Currently, genetic polymorphisms in PXR are associated with adverse drug effects. Because little is known about the association between NF-κB1 genetic polymorphisms and adverse drug reactions, we explored the association between PXR and NF-κB1 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and susceptibility to anti-tuberculosis drug-induced liver injury (ATDILI).Materials and methodsA total of 746 tuberculosis patients (118 with ATDILI and 628 without ATDILI) were prospectively enrolled at West China Hospital between December 2014 and April 2018. Nine selected SNPs (rs3814055, rs13059232, rs7643645 and rs3732360 in PXR and rs78872571, rs4647992, rs60371688, rs1598861 and rs3774959 in NF-κB1) were genotyped with a custom-designed 2x48-plex SNP Scan TM Kit. The frequencies of the alleles, genotypes and genetic models of the variants were compared between patients with or without ATDILI, while joint effect analysis of the SNP-SNP interactions was performed using multiplicative and additive models. The odds ratios (ORs) and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated.ResultsThe T allele of rs3814055 in PXR was associated with a decreased risk for ATDILI (OR 0.61; 95% CI: 0.42–0.89, p = 0.0098). The T alleles of rs78872571 and rs4647992 in NF-κB1 were significantly associated with an increased risk for ATDILI (OR 1.91; 95% CI: 1.06–3.43, p = 0.028 and OR 1.81; 1.06–3.10, p = 0.029, respectively). The allele, genotype and genetic model frequencies were similar in the two groups for the other six SNPs (all P>0.05). There were no multiplicative or additive interactions between the SNPs.ConclusionOur study is the first to reveal that rs3814055 variants in PXR and rs78872571 and rs4647992 variants in NF-κB1 are associated with susceptibility to ATDILI caused by first-line anti-tuberculosis combination treatment in the Han Chinese population.

Summary

Introduction

Tuberculosis remains a serious hazard to human health. In 2017, approximately 1.7 billion people were infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and approximately 1.6 million deaths were caused by tuberculosis worldwide. Effective treatment and the prevention of the development of drug-resistant bacteria are key to block the spread of tuberculosis. The side effects of the combination protocol cannot be ignored, and anti-tuberculosis drug-induced liver injury (ATDILI) is the most common side effect, with an incidence of 2.0–28.0%[2]. The early symptoms of ATDILI are atypical and the diagnostic criteria lack specificity, which can cause a missed diagnosis or misdiagnosis, delaying treatment and resulting in adverse consequences. Genetic polymorphisms in PXR are associated with adverse drug effects. Because little is known about the association between NF-κB1 genetic polymorphisms and adverse drug reactions, we explored the association between PXR and NF-κB1 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and susceptibility to anti-tuberculosis drug-induced liver injury (ATDILI)
