  • Several studies have shown associations between irinotecan toxicity and UGT1A genetic variations in colorectal and lung cancer, but only limited data are available for gastric cancer patients. We evaluated the frequencies of UGT1A polymorphisms and their relationship with clinicopathologic parameters in 382 Korean gastric cancer patients. Polymorphisms of UGT1A1*6, UGT1A1*27, UGT1A1*28, UGT1A1*60, UGT1A7*2, UGT1A7*3, and UGT1A9*22 were genotyped by direct sequencing. In 98 patients treated with irinotecan-containing regimens, toxicity and response were compared according to the genotype. The UGT1A1*6 and UGT1A9*22 genotypes showed a higher prevalence in Korean gastric cancer patients, while the prevalence of the UG1A1*28 polymorphism was lower than in normal Koreans, as has been found in other studies of Asian populations. The incidence of severe diarrhea after irinotecan-containing treatment was more common in patients with the UGT1A1*6, UGT1A7*3 and UGT1A9*22 polymorphisms than in controls. The presence of the UGT1A1*6 allele also showed a significant association with grade III-IV neutropenia. Upon haplotype and diplotype analyses, almost every patient bearing the UGT1A1*6 or UGT1A7*3 variant also had the UGT1A9*22 polymorphism, and all severe manifestations of UGT1A polymorphism-associated toxicity were related to the UGT1A9*22 polymorphism. By genotyping UGT1A9*22 polymorphisms, we could identify high-risk gastric cancer patients receiving irinotecan-containing chemotherapy, who would experience severe toxicity. When treating high-risk patients with the UGT1A9*22 polymorphism, clinicians should closely monitor them for signs of toxicity such as severe diarrhea or neutropenia.

  • UGT1A play important roles in the glucuronidation of a variety of endogenous and exogenous compounds. UGT1A isoforms are expressed tissue specifically. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between UGT1A3 and UGT1A7 mRNA expression and pancreatic cancer. Paired healthy and tumor tissue samples of 43 patients with pancreatic cancer were included in this study. UGT1A3 and UGT1A7 mRNA expressions were analyzed by real time-PCR. In the result of study, UGT1A3 and UGT1A7 mRNA expressions were significantly higher in tumor tissue than normal tissue of pancreatic cancer patients (p<0.05). In addition, high mRNA expression of UGT1A3 and UGT1A7 was significantly associated with larger tumor size (p<0.05). The data suggested that UGT1A3 and UGT1A7 may play roles in the progression of pancreatic cancer. Consequently, UGT1A3 and UGT1A7 are potential prognostic indicators.

  • Approximately 120 UDP-glycosyltransferases (UGTs), which are classified into 14 distinct groups (A to N), have been annotated in the Arabidopsis genome. UGTs catalyze the transfer of sugars to various acceptor molecules including flavonoids. Previously, UGT71C1 was shown to glycosylate the 3-OH of hydroxycinnamates and flavonoids in vitro. Such secondary metabolites are known to play important roles in plant growth and development. To help define the role of UGT71C1 in planta, we investigated its expression patterns, and isolated and characterized a loss-of-function mutation in the UGT71C1 gene (named ugt71c1-1). Our analyses by quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), microarray data mining, and histochemical detection of GUS activity driven by the UGT71C1 promoter region, revealed the tissue-specific expression patterns of UGT71C1 with highest expression in roots. Interestingly, upon treatment with methyl viologen (MV, paraquat), ugt71c1-1 plants displayed enhanced resistance to oxidative stress, and ROS scavenging activity was higher than normal. Metabolite profiling revealed that the levels of two major glycosides of quercetin and kaempferol were reduced in ugt71c1-1 plants. In addition, when exposed to MV-induced oxidative stress, eight representative ROS response genes were expressed at lower levels in ugt71c1-1 plants, indicating that ugt71c1-1 probably has higher non-enzymatic antioxidant activity. Taken together, our results indicate that ugt71c1-1 has increased resistance to oxidative stress, suggesting that UGT71C1 plays a role in some glycosylation pathways affecting secondary metabolites such as flavonoids in response to oxidative stress.

  • Glucuronidation은 NNAL [4-(methylnitrosamno)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol]의 주요 pathway이며, UGT2B의 family인 UGT2B17 (UGT, uridine diphospho-glucuronosyltransferase) 유전자는 발암원의 glucuronidation에 관여 한다. UGT2B17 결손은 NNAL의 감소 수준과 특정 암에 있어 위험도를 증가시킨다. UGT2B17 유전자의 copy 수는 사람에서 개인별로 0~2로 다양하다. 본 연구에서는 UGT2B17 결손이 폐암의 위험도와 연관성을 가지는 가를 알아보기 위해 한국인인 271명의 대조군과 176명의 폐암환자의 샘플로 PCR 방법으로 CNV를 조사하였다. 그 결과, 현재까지 보고된 백인과 흑인에 비해 한국인에서 결실 대립형질이 현저히 높게 나타났다. 백인에서 유전자 두 개 모두가 결실된 0 copy 수가 약 10%를 나타낸 것에 비해, 본 연구의 한국인에서는 0 copy 수가 약 74%를 나타내었다. 더욱이 양 쪽 결실이 여성그룹에서 전반적으로 남성그룹에 비해 높게 나타났다. 그러나 UGT2B17 유전자가 CNV와 폐암과의 연관성은 찾을 수 없었다. 이러한 결과는 UGT2B17 유전자의 결실이 폐암의 감수성과는 연관되어 있지 않으나, UGT2B17 CNV 다형성이 인종간의 진화적 분석의 유용한 마커로 사용이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

  • Genetic polymorphisms of uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyltransferases 1A6 (UGT1A6) and 1A7 (UGT1A7) may lead to genetic instability and colorectal cancer carcinogenesis. Our objective was to measure the interaction between polymorphisms of these repair genes and tobacco smoking in colorectal cancer (CRC). A total of 68 individuals with CRC and 112 non-cancer controls were divided into non-smoker and smoker groups according to pack-years of smoking. Genetic polymorphisms of UGT1A6 and UGT1A7 were examined using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). We found a weak association of UGT1A6 polymorphisms with CRC risk (crude odds ratio [OR], 1.65;95% confidence interval [95% CI], 0.9-3.1, P=0.107; adjusted OR 1.95%, 95% CI 1.0-3.8, P=0.051). The ORs for the UGT1A7 polymorphisms were statistically significant (crude OR: 26.40, 95% CI: 3.5-198.4, P=0.001; adjusted OR: 21.52, 95% CI: 2.8-164.1, P=0.003). The joint effect of tobacco exposure and UGTIA6 polymorphisms was significantly associated with colorectal cancer risk in non-smokers (crude OR, 2.11; 95% CI, 0.9-5.0, P=0.092; adjusted OR 2.63, 95% CI, 1.0-6.7, P=0.042). In conclusion, our findings suggest that UGT1A6 and UGT1A7 gene polymorphisms are associated with CRC risk in the Japanese population. In particualr, UGT1A6 polymorphisms may strongly increase CRC risk through the formation of carcinogens not associated with smoking.

  • 목 적 : 신생아 황달은 백인에 비해 중국, 일본, 한국 등 동아시아인에서 2배 이상 많이 발생하는 것으로 보아 유전적 연관성이 있을 것으로 생각되어 왔고, 최근 일본인, 타이완 중국인, 한국인에서 UGT1A1 유전자의 Gly71Arg 다형성이 신생아 황달과 연관성이 있다고 보고되었다. 선천적으로 UDP-glucuronosyltransferase(UDPGT)에 결함이 있는 경우에는 부경로(alternative pathway)로 CYP1A2 효소를 자극하여 빌리루빈 대사가 이루어진다. 출생 후 6-14주가 되어야 성인 UDPGT 정상치에 도달하기 때문에 신생아 황달에서 빌리루빈 대사에 CYP1A2 부경로가 중요한 역할을 할 것으로 생각된다. 이에 저자들은 UGT1A1과 CYP1A2 유전자의 다형성이 한국인 신생아 황달의 발생과 어떤 연관성이 있는지 알아보고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법 : 혈중 빌리루빈 수치가 12 mg/dL 이상의 건강하고, 황달의 다른 위험인자가 없는 만삭아 79명과 대조군 68명으로부터 혈액 0.5 cc를 채취하여 DNA을 분리하였다. UGT1A1 유전자는 Polymerase chain reaction(PCR) 후에 염기서열 분석을 통해서 Gly71Arg 유전자 다형성을 확인하였으며, CYP1A2는 제한효소인 MboII를 이용하여 PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism 방법과 염기서열 분석을 통해서 T2698G 유전자 다형성을 확인하였다. 결 과 : UGT1A1 유전자의 Gly71Arg 다형성은 변이형 대립 유전자 분포가 환자군에서 32%로 대조군 11%보다 높았다(P<0.0001). CYP1A2 유전자의 다형성은 변이형 유전형 분포가 환자군에서는 41.8%, 대조군에서 32.3%로 환자군이 높았으며 통계학적으로 유의하였다(P=0.015). 변이형 대립유전자의 빈도는 환자군에서 21%로 대조군 19%보다 높았으나 통계학적 유의성은 없었다(P=0.706). Gly71Arg와 T2698G의 변이형 발생의 연관성은 없었다(P=0.635). 결 론 : 한국인의 신생아 황달에서 체내의 빌리루빈 대사의 주경로와 부경로에 작용하는 효소의 유전자인 UGT1A1과 CYP1A2의 다형성이 확인되었고, UGT1A1 유전자의 Gly71Arg 다형성은 신생아 황달과 연관이 있었으나 CYP1A2 유전자의 T2698G 다형성은 신생아의 황달과 연관이 없었다.

  • Glucuronidation by the uridine diphosphateglucuronosy-ltransferase 1A enzymes (UGT1As) is a major pathway for elimination of particular drugs and endogenous substances, such as bilirubin. We examined the relation of eight single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and haplotypes of the UGT1A gene with their clinical factors. For association analysis, we genotyped the variants by direct sequencing analysis and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in 218 healthy Koreans. The frequency of UGT1A1 polymorphisms, -3279T>G, -3156G>A, -53 $(TA)_{6>7}$, 211G>A, and 686C>A, was 0.26, 0.12, 0.08, 0.15, and 0.01, respectively. The frequency of -118 $(T)_{9>10}$ of UGT1A9 was 0.62, which was significantly higher than that in Caucasians (0.39). Neither the -2152C>T nor the -275T>A polymorphism was observed in Koreans or other Asians in comparison with Caucasians. The -3156G>A and -53 $(TA)_{6>7}$ polymorphisms of UGT1A were significantly associated with platelet count and total bilirubin level (p=0.01, p=0.01, respectively). Additionally, total bilirubin level was positively correlated with occurrence of the UGT1A9-118 $(T)_{9>10}$ rare variant. Common haplotypes encompassing six UGT1A polymorphisms were significantly associated with total bilirubin level (p=0.01). Taken together, we suggest that determination of the UGT1A1 and UGT1A9 genotypes is clinically useful for predicting the efficacy and serious toxicities of particular drugs requiring glucuronidation.

  • 목 적 : 신생아 황달은 중국, 일본, 한국인 등 동양인에서 서양인에 비해 많이 발생하여 유전적인 요인이 있을 것으로 생각되며 빌리루빈 대사의 주된 효소인 Uridine diphosphate glucuronosyl transferase 유전자의 다형성이 관여한다고 보고되고 있다. 저자들은 빌리루빈 대사의 핵심 효소인 UGT1A1 유전자의 다형성이 한국인 신생아 황달과 어떤 연관성이 있는지 알아 보고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법 : 혈중 빌리루빈 수치가 12 mg/dL 이상의 건강하고, 위험인자가 없는 만삭아 중 신생아 황달 환아 80명과, 대조군 164명으로부터 혈액을 0.5 cc를 채취하여 DNA을 분리하였다. UGT1A1 유전자를 PCR로 증폭하여, 염기서열 분석 방법을 통해 UGT1A1 유전자 untranslated region의 1828G>A(rs 10929303) 단일염기다형성을 확인하였다. 결 과 : UGT1A1 유전자 3' untranslated region의 guanine에서 adenine으로의 1828G>A 단일염기다형성이 신생아 고빌리루빈군 중 총 혈청 빌리루빈이 12 mg/dL 이상인 80명 중 67명(83.8%)이 GG 유전형을 보였고 10명(12.5%)이 GA 이종접합, 3명(3.7%)이 AA 유전형을 나타냈다. 대조군 164명에서는 135명(82.3%)이 GG 유전형을 보였고, GA 이종접합은 16명(9.8%), AA 유전형은 13명(7.9%)으로 나타났다. 변이형 대립유전자 빈도는 고빌리루빈혈증군에서 10.0%로 대조군 12.8%와 비슷하였다(P=0.3687). 결 론 : 한국인 신생아 황달에서 UGT1A1 유전자의 1828G>A 다형성을 확인하였으나, 이는 고빌리루빈혈증군에서 대조군에서와 비슷한 빈도로 관찰되어 한국인 신생아 황달의 발생과 연관이 없을 것으로 생각된다.

  • Background: Severe toxicity is commonly observed in cancer patients receiving irinotecan (CPT-11) UDPglucuronosyltransferase1A1 (UGT1A1) catalyzes the glucuronidation of the active metabolite SN-38 but the relationship between UGT1A1 and severe toxicity remains unclear. Our study aimed to assess this point to guide clinical use of CPT-11. Materials and Methods: 89 cancer patients with advanced disease received CPT-11-based chemotherapy for at least two cycles. Toxicity, including GI and hematologic toxicity was recorded in detail and UGT1A1 variants were genotyped. Regression analysis was used to analyse relationships between these variables and tumor response. Results: The prevalence of grade III-IV diarrhea was 10.1%, this being more common in patients with the TA 6/7 genotype (5 of 22 patients, 22.7%) (p<0.05). The prevalence of grade III-IV neutropenia was 13.4%and also highest in patients with the TA 6/7 genotype (4 of 22 patients; 18.2%) but without significance (p>0.05). The retreatment total bilirubin levels were significantly higher in TA6/7 patients (mean, $12.75{\mu}mol/L$) with compared to TA6/6 (mean, $9.92{\mu}mol/L$) with p<0.05. Conclusions: Our study support the conclusion that patients with a $UGT1A1^*28$ allele (s) will suffer an increased risk of severe irinotecan-induced diarrhea, whether with mid-or low-dosage. However, the $UGT1A1^*28$ allele (s) did not increase severe neutropenia. Higher serum total bilirubin is an indication that patients UGT1A1 genotype is not wild-type, with significance for clinic usage of CPT-11.

  • Previous in vitro studies have demonstrated that ginsenoside Rc inhibits UGT1A9, but there are no available data to indicate that ginsenoside Rc inhibits UGT1A9 in vivo. The effect of single and repeated intravenous injection of ginsenoside Rc was evaluated on the pharmacokinetics of mycophenolic acid. After injection of ginsenoside Rc (5 mg/kg for one day or 3 mg/kg for five days), 2-mg mycophenolic acid was intravenously injected, and the pharmacokinetics of mycophenolic acid and mycophenolic acid-β-glucuronide were determined. Concentrations of mycophenolic acid and its metabolite from rat plasma were analyzed using a liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry. Single or repeated pretreatment with ginsenoside Rc had no significant effects on the pharmacokinetics of mycophenolic acid (P > 0.05): The mean difference in maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUCinf) were within 0.83- and 0.62-fold, respectively, compared with those in the absence of the ginsenoside Rc. These results indicate that ginsenoside Rc has a negligible effect on the disposition of mycophenolic acid in vivo despite in vitro findings indicating that ginsenoside Rc is a selective UGT1A9 inhibitor. As a result, ginsenoside Rc has little possibility of interacting with drugs that are metabolized by UGT1A9, including mycophenolic acid.
