Table1_Association of ABCC2 polymorphism with clopidogrel response in Chinese patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.docx

Aim: In this study, we investigated the association between ABCC2 polymorphism and clopidogrel response as well as the associated hypothetical mechanism.Methods: Chinese patients (213) with coronary artery disease (CAD) who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and received clopidogrel were recruited. Thereafter, their ADP-induced platelet inhibition rates (PAIR%) were determined via thromboelastometry. Further, the single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of ABCC2 were genotyped using high-resolution melting curve (HRM)-PCR, while CYP2C19*2 and *3 polymorphisms were genotyped via real-time PCR.Results: The allele frequencies of ABCC2 rs717620 were 74.88 and 25.12% for the C and T alleles, respectively. Further, ABCC2 rs717620 TT carriers exhibited significantly higher PAIR% values (72.60 ± 27.69) than both CT (61.44 ± 23.65) and CC carriers (52.72 ± 21.99) (p = 0.047 and p = 0.001, respectively), and ABCC2 rs717620 CT carriers showed significantly higher mean PAIR% values than ABCC2 rs717620 CC carriers (p = 0.011). However, the PAIR% values corresponding to ABCC2 rs2273697 and ABCC2 rs3740066 carriers were not different. Additionally, CYP2C19*2 AA carriers presented significantly lower PAIR% values than CYP2C19*2 GA (p = 0.015) and GG (p = 0.003) carriers, and CYP2C19*3 GA carriers also presented significantly lower PAIR% values than CYP2C19*3 GG carriers (p = 0.041). In patients with CYP2C19 extensive metabolizers (EM), ABCC2 rs717620 TT carriers showed significantly higher PAIR% values (89.77 ± 9.73) than CT (76.76 ± 26.00) and CC carriers (74.09 ± 25.29) (p = 0.040 and p = 0.009, respectively). In patients with CYP2C19 poor metabolizers (PM), ABCC2 rs717620 CC carriers showed significantly lower PAIR% values (51.72 ± 25.78) than CT carriers (75.37 ± 23.57) (p = 0.043). Furthermore, after adjusting for confounding factors, ABCC2 rs717620 was identified as a strong predictor of clopidogrel hyperreactivity.Conclusion: We proposed a new target, ABCC2 rs717620, in the efflux pathway that affects individual responses to clopidogrel. The TT allele of ABCC2 rs717620 was also identified as an independent risk factor for clopidogrel hyperreactivity, and CYP2C19*2 and *3 showed association with an increased risk for clopidogrel resistance. Additionally, ABCC2 rs717620 may affect individual responses to clopidogrel via post-transcriptional regulation and interaction with CYP2C19. These findings provide new insights that may guide the accurate use of clopidogrel.</p

BackgroundBecause of poor compliance or low sensitivity, existing diagnostic approaches are unable to provide an efficient diagnosis of patients with gastric and colorectal cancer. Here, we developed the ColoCaller test, which simultaneously detects the methylation status of the SDC2, TFPI2, WIF1, and NDRG4 genes in stool DNA, to optimize the screening of gastric and colorectal cancer in high-risk populations.MethodsA total of 217 stool samples from patients with gastrointestinal cancer and from patients with negative endoscopy were prospectively collected, complete with preoperative and postoperative clinical data from patients. The methylation of these samples was detected using ColoCaller, which was designed by selecting CpGs with a two-step screening strategy, and was interpreted using a prediction model built using libSVM to evaluate its clinical value for gastric and colorectal cancer screening.ResultsCompared to pathological diagnosis, the sensitivity and specificity of the ColoCaller test in 217 stool DNA samples were 95.56% and 91.86%, respectively, for colorectal cancer, and 67.5% and 97.81%, respectively, for gastric cancer. The detection limit was as low as 1% in 8 ng of DNA.ConclusionIn this study, we developed and established a new test, ColoCaller, which can be used as a screening tool or as an auxiliary diagnostic approach in high-risk populations with gastric and colorectal cancer to promote timely diagnosis and treatment.</p
