Genetic variants in cellular transport do not affect mesalamine response in ulcerative colitis

چکیده
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Mesalamine is commonly used to treat ulcerative colitis (UC). Although mesalamine acts topically, in vitro data suggest that intracellular transport is required for its beneficial effect. Genetic variants in mucosal transport proteins may affect this uptake, but the clinical relevance of these variants has not been studied. The aim of this study was to determine whether variants in genes involved in cellular transport affect the response to mesalamine in UC. METHODS Subjects with UC from a 6-week clinical trial using multiple doses of mesalamine were genotyped using a genome-wide array that included common exome variants. Analysis focused on cellular transport gene variants with a minor allele frequency >5%. Mesalamine response was defined as improvement in Week 6 Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) and non-response as a lack of improvement in Week 6 PGA. Quality control thresholds included an individual genotyping rate of >90%, SNP genotyping rate of >98%, and exclusion for subjects with cryptic relatedness. All included variants met Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (p>0.001). RESULTS 457 adults with UC were included with 280 responders and 177 non-responders. There were no common variants in transporter genes that were associated with response to mesalamine. The genetic risk score of responders was similar to that of non-responders (p = 0.18). Genome-wide variants demonstrating a trend towards mesalamine response included ST8SIA5 (p = 1x10-5). CONCLUSIONS Common transporter gene variants did not affect response to mesalamine in adult UC. The response to mesalamine may be due to rare genetic events or environmental factors such as the intestinal microbiome.

NAT1 genotypes do not predict response to mesalamine in patients with ulcerative colitis.
BACKGROUND 5- Aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) is metabolised in colonic mucosa by N-acetyltransferase 1 (NAT1). Common genetic polymorphisms in this enzyme result in rapid or slow acetylation. 5-ASA treatment causes side effects in up to 10 % of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). We therefore determined genetic variations of NAT1 in patients with UC and looked for a possible association with th...

56 INTRODUCTION Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a collective term for the two conditions: Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Crohn’s disease is a transmural inflammatory disease that can affect the small intestine only (30%), the colon only (25%), or both the small intestine and the colon at the same time (40%). Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory disease of the colonic mucosa with n...

Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease result from an interaction between genetic and environmental factors. Only one gene, NOD2/CARD15, has been clearly identified; a minority of people with alteration of this gene develop Crohn's disease. The NOD2/CARD15 protein is thought to be involved in defence against intracellular bacteria. This supports the idea that Crohn's disease and ulcerative coli...
