Objectives: Osteosarcoma (OS) is one of the aggressive bone tumors commonly diagnosed in adolescents and young adults. The study investigated the effect of 9 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 5 genes on methotrexate (MTX) plasma level and its impact on the patients’ clinical outcomes. Methods: One hundred and thirty-three patients with OS (68 boys and 65 girls with age range 4.00-17.86 years) were enrolled and treated with four weeks of high-dose methotrexate (HDMTX) as neo-adjuvant therapy in children’s cancer hospital (CCHE-57357). Blood samples were collected and genotyped for the studied SNPs (MTHFR rs1801133, SLCO1B1 rs11045879, rs4149081, rs2306283, ABCC3 rs4793665, rs4148412, rs733392 ABCG2 rs2231142, and ABCC2 rs717620 using Taqman® (RT-PCR) assay. Plasma concentrations of MTX were measured using the enzyme multiple immunoassay technique (EMIT®). The clinical outcomes included toxicities that were evaluated based on the common terminology criteria for adverse events - version 5 (CTCAEv5.0.), besides the studying of survival analysis and tumor necrosis (TN %). Results: Older patients experienced increased risk of delayed MTX elimination at 72-hour, OR=1.19 (95% CI=1.09-1.29, p=0.00059). The studied SNPs weren’t associated with MTX elimination. Patients with ABCC2 HW (Homozygous wild) genotype group showed a high statistically significant association with higher grade hyperbilirubinemia, OR= 2.05(95% CI=1.05-4.01, p=0.037). Moreover, the patients with ABCC3 (rs4793665) HV and HT (Homozygous variant and Heterozygous) genotypes had a significant association with severe nephrotoxicity, OR= 0.34(95% CI=1.6-0.72, p=0.005). Conclusions: ABCC2 (rs717620), ABCC3 (rs4793665) genotyping with age and gender could help in predicting patients at risk of toxicities due to HDMTX.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
