[SNPs associated with adverse effects].

Abstract

In recent years, pharmacogenomics have received much attention from the increased expectations for so-called order-made medicine. It is experientially clear that inter-individual differences exist in the degree of efficacy and occurrence of adverse effects. These inter-individual differences are observed not only among anticancer chemotherapeutics but in almost all drugs. Several studies have revealed that genetic factors are involved in these inter-individual differences. To date, the relationships have been revealed between adverse effects of some anticancer drugs and polymorphisms of drug metabolizing genes. Such relationships include 5-FU and DPYD gene, methotorexate and MTHFR gene, irinotecan and UGT 1A1 gene and 6-MP and TPMT gene. By using information on these polymorphisms, it will be possible to predict the occurrence of adverse effects before using anticancer drugs. In particular, information on polymorphisms related to the possibly adverse effects of irinotecan is now given in its package leaflet. This means that order-made medicine is a step closer. In this review, we discuss the relationships between polymorphisms of genes and the adverse effects of anticancer drugs. Furthermore, we want to suggest the direction of further pharmacogenomic studies with an eye to the realization of order-made medicine.

Deep generative neural network for accurate drug response imputation.

Drug response differs substantially in cancer patients due to inter- and intra-tumor heterogeneity. Particularly, transcriptome context, especially tumor microenvironment, has been shown playing a significant role in shaping the actual treatment outcome. In this study, we develop a deep variational autoencoder (VAE) model to compress thousands of genes into latent vectors in a low-dimensional space. We then demonstrate that these encoded vectors could accurately impute drug response, outperform standard signature-gene based approaches, and appropriately control the overfitting problem. We apply rigorous quality assessment and validation, including assessing the impact of cell line lineage, cross-validation, cross-panel evaluation, and application in independent clinical data sets, to warrant the accuracy of the imputed drug response in both cell lines and cancer samples. Specifically, the expression-regulated component (EReX) of the observed drug response achieves high correlation across panels. Using the well-trained models, we impute drug response of The Cancer Genome Atlas data and investigate the features and signatures associated with the imputed drug response, including cell line origins, somatic mutations and tumor mutation burdens, tumor microenvironment, and confounding factors. In summary, our deep learning method and the results are useful for the study of signatures and markers of drug response.

Favorable response of intraommaya topotecan for leptomeningeal metastasis of neuroblastoma after intravenous route failure.

A 3-year-old male, diagnosed with stage 4 neuroblastoma, developed recurrent leptomeningeal metastasis after multi-modality treatment including multi-agent chemotherapy, surgery, high dose chemotherapy plus stem cell rescue, cis-retinoic acid and intravenous (IV) topotecan. He then received intraommaya (IO) topotecan three times weekly (maximum dose; 0.4 mg). A complete response was achieved by a resolution of malignant cells in cerebrospinal fluid and resolution leptomeningeal enhancement by brain MRI. Treatment toxicities included low-grade fever and minimal headache. The duration of treatment response from IO topotecan was 18 weeks. The survival time from CNS recurrence in this patient was 13 months. We suggest IO topotecan be considered for neoplastic meningitis of tumors with known sensitivity to topotecan.

Mobilization of Ph chromosome-negative peripheral blood stem cells in a child with chronic myeloid leukemia after imatinib-induced complete molecular remission.

Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is rare in the pediatric population. Allogeneic stem cell transplant remains the only curative therapy; however, identifying a fully matched donor is not always possible. Imatinib mesylate has been shown to induce hematologic and cytogenetic response in adults and children with CML. We describe a child who achieved molecular remission with imatinib mesylate. BCR-ABL negative peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) were successfully collected after mobilization with filgrastim.
