Polymorphisms in the NUDT15 gene may lead to increased DNA-incorporated deoxythioguanosine (dTG) accumulation in lymphocytes, causing cell apoptosis and thiopurine-induced leukopenia in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Background and Aims Polymorphisms in the nucleotide diphosphate-linked moiety X-type motif 15 (NUDT15) gene are associated with thiopurine-induced leukopenia in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). NUDT15-associated subcellular thiopurine metabolism has not been investigated in primary lymphocytes. We hypothesized that NUDT15 mutation increases DNA-incorporated deoxythioguanosine (dTG) and induces apoptosis in lymphocytes. Methods DNA-incorporated dTG in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and 6-thioguanine nucleotides (6-TGN) in red blood cells were measured in patients with IBD undergoing thiopurine treatment. The association of a single nucleotide polymorphism for NUDT15 (rs116855232) with dTG(PBMC) was examined. The pro-apoptotic effect of DNA-incorporated dTG was examined ex vivo in association with NUDT15 genotypes by co-culturing patient-derived peripheral CD4(+) T lymphocytes with 6-thioguanine (6-TG). Results dTG(PBMC) was significantly higher in NUDT15 variants than in non-variants. dTG(PBMC), but not 6-TGN(RBC), negatively correlated with peripheral lymphocyte counts (r = - 0.31 and - 0.12, p = 0.012 and 0.173, respectively). DNA-incorporated dTG significantly accumulated to a greater extent in lymphocytes from NUDT15 variants when co-cultured with 6-TG ex vivo than in those from non-variants and was associated with decreased proliferation and increased apoptosis. Conclusion Increased DNA-incorporated dTG may be responsible for thiopurine-induced leukocytopenia through cell apoptosis in IBD patients with NUDT15 mutation.
