This study systematically investigated the trans-eQTLs of CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 affecting tacrolimus trough blood concentrations in Chinese renal transplant patients. A total of 103 candidate eQTLs were analyzed, with rs75727207, rs181294422, and rs28522676 showing significant associations with tacrolimus concentrations. Numerous new eQTLs were identified in the liver and small intestine, suggesting potential genetic factors influencing tacrolimus metabolism in this patient population.
This study aimed to systematically investigate trans-eQTLs of CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 affecting tacrolimus trough blood concentrations in Chinese renal transplant patients. We used Plink v1.90 to perform data quality control and linear regression analysis on GTEx v8 data. SNPs with p-value < 0.05 were selected and the GTEx eQTL Calculator was used to further prioritize the eQTLs of CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 in the liver and small intestine. The eQTLs with a p-value < 5 x 10-5 and MAF >= 0.05 in the CHB population were selected as candidate eQTLs. The genotyping of candidate eQTLs was performed using high-resolution melting (HRM) assays and Sanger DNA sequencing. This study included 845 Chinese renal transplant patients who received tacrolimus as an immunosuppressive agent. Association between 103 candidate eQTLs and log-transformed tacrolimus concentration/ dose ratio (log (C0/D)) in this cohort was conducted using the SNPassoc package of R software. In the end, a total of 75,632 liver eQTLs of CYP3A4, 69,558 liver eQTLs of CYP3A5, 48,596 small intestine eQTLs of CYP3A4 and 28,616 small intestine eQTLs of CYP3A5 were obtained using the GTEx v8 eQTL Calculator. Of the 103 candidate eQTLs, rs75727207, rs181294422 and rs28522676 were significantly associated with tacrolimus log(C0/D) in different genetic models. We discovered a substantial number of novel eQTLs of CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 in liver and small intestine, also found that rs75727207, rs181294422 and rs28522676 may affect tacrolimus trough blood concentrations in Chinese renal transplant patients.
