PACSIN2 as a modulator of autophagy and mercaptopurine cytotoxicity: mechanisms in lymphoid and intestinal cells

Giulia Zudeh et al.

Summary: This study aims to clarify the role of PACSIN2 in autophagy and in thiopurine cytotoxicity in leukemic and intestinal models. The researchers found higher autophagy and lower PACSIN2 levels in inflamed colon biopsies of inflammatory bowel disease pediatric patients, suggesting that PACSIN2 is an inhibitor of autophagy. They also discovered that PACSIN2 modulates mercaptopurine-induced cytotoxicity in intestinal cells, but the mechanisms of PACSIN2's modulation of cellular thiopurine methyltransferase activity are different from its modulation of autophagy.

Association of ITPA gene polymorphisms with adverse effects of AZA/6-MP administration: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Evaggelia Barba et al.

Summary: In this study, a systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to investigate the genetic association of ITPA polymorphisms with adverse effects in patients treated with AZA/6-MP. The results showed that rs1127354 and rs7270101 were associated with neutropenia and other adverse effects in different populations. Stratification analysis also confirmed the association between neutropenia and these two polymorphisms in ALL patients. These findings suggest that ITPA polymorphisms could serve as predictive biomarkers for adverse effects of thiopurine drugs, providing personalized treatment options for ALL patients.

LC-MS/MS Method for Measurement of Thiopurine Nucleotides (TN) in Erythrocytes and Association of TN Concentrations With TPMT Enzyme Activity

Amol O. Bajaj et al.

Summary: We developed an LC-MS/MS method for monitoring the concentrations of 6-TG and 6-MMP and evaluated the stability of thiopurine metabolites. The method showed good agreement with other methods and revealed differences in metabolite concentrations among different TPMT groups and age groups.

Effect of ITPA Polymorphism on Adverse Drug Reactions of 6-Mercaptopurine in Pediatric Patients with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Yeonhong Lee et al.

Summary: A systematic review and meta-analysis found a significant association between the ITPA 94C>A polymorphism and 6-MP-induced neutropenia and hepatotoxicity. However, no significant association was found between the ITPA 94C>A variant and 6-MP-induced leukopenia.

Pharmacogenetic studies of thiopurine methyltransferase genotype-phenotype concordance and effect of methotrexate on thiopurine metabolism

Anna Zimdahl Kahlin et al.

Summary: The discovery and implementation of TPMT pharmacogenetics has reduced serious adverse reactions in childhood leukaemia and inflammatory bowel disease treatment. Gender and age factors affect TPMT enzyme activity, and several different mechanisms can cause a defective TPMT enzyme. Additionally, methotrexate affects the metabolism of thiopurines and interacts with TPMT through various mechanisms.

Summary: The study aimed to determine the maximum tolerated dose of 6MP/MTX in children with ALL. It was found that interruptions in maintenance therapy were common, mainly due to intolerance of dose escalations of MTX and 6MP above 100%.

Quantification of Thioguanine in DNA Using Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry for Routine Thiopurine Drug Monitoring in Patients With Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Rihwa Choi et al.

Summary: A novel assay for measuring DNA-incorporated 6-thioguanine (DNA-TG) was developed and validated in pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia to improve personalized thiopurine treatment. The study demonstrated a strong correlation between DNA-TG and erythrocyte TG nucleotide levels, and a significantly higher DNA-TG/RBC-TGN ratio in patients with specific NUDT15 genotypes.
