Identification and functional characterization of genetic variants of human organic cation transporters in a Korean population.

چکیده
Genetic variants of three human organic cation transporter genes (hOCTs) were extensively explored in a Korean population. The functional changes of hOCT2 variants were evaluated in vitro, and those genetic polymorphisms of hOCTs were compared among different ethnic populations. From direct DNA sequencing, 7 of 13 coding variants were nonsynonymous single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), including four variants from hOCT1 (F160L, P283L, P341L, and M408V) and three from hOCT2 (T199I, T201M, and A270S), whereas 6 were synonymous SNPs. The linkage disequilibrium analysis presented for three independent LD blocks for each hOCT gene showed no significant linkage among all three hOCT genes. The transporter activities of MDCK cells that overexpress the hOCT2-T199I, -T201M, and -A270S variants showed significantly decreased uptake of [(3)H]methyl-4-phenylpyridinium acetate (MPP(+)) or [(14)C]tetraethylammonium compared with those cells that overexpress wild-type hOCT2, and the estimated kinetic parameters of these variants for [(3)H]MPP(+) uptake in oocytes showed a 2- to 5-fold increase in K(m) values and a 10- to 20-fold decrease in V(max) values. The allele frequencies of the five functional variants hOCT1-P283L, -P341L, and hOCT2-T199I, -T201M, and -A270S were 1.3, 17, 0.7, 0.7, and 11%, respectively, in a Korean population; the frequency distributions of these variants were not significantly different from those of Chinese and Vietnamese populations. These findings suggest that genetic variants of hOCTs are not linked among three genes in a Korean population, and several of the hOCT genetic variants cause decreased transport activity in vitro compared with the wild type, although the clinical relevance of these variants remains to be evaluated.

Identification and Functional Characterization of Novel Genetic Variations in the OCTN1 Promoter
Human organic cation/carnitine transporter 1 (OCTN1) plays an important role in the transport of drugs and endogenous substances. It is known that a missense variant of OCTN1 is significantly associated with Crohn's disease susceptibility. This study was performed to identify genetic variants of the OCTN1 promoter in Korean individuals and to determine their functional effects. First, the promo...

ABSTRACT Background: It is well recognized that different patients respond in different ways to medications. The inter-individual variations are greater than the intera- individual variations, a finding consistent with the notion that inheritance is a determinant of drug responses. The recent identification of genetic polymorphisms in drug-metabolizing enzymes and drug transporters led to the ...
