WARFARIN DOSE REQUIREMENT AND POLYMORPHISMS IN MICRORNA AND NUCLEAR RECEPTOR GENES
Canadian journal of cardiology(2016)
Abstract
The marked inter-individual variability in warfarin dose requirement is mainly attributed to the variants of the main target genes across the warfarin pharmacological pathway, i.e. cytochrome P-450 (CYP) 2C9, CYP3A4, ABCB1, vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit 1 (VKORC1) and epoxide hydrolase 1 (EPHX1). The expression of these genes is primarily regulated by a complex network of nuclear receptors (NR) which are encoded, in turn, by polymorphic genes. Furthermore, microRNAs (miRNA) can reduce the expression of both warfarin target genes and the genes encoding NRs. We investigated whether the variants of genes encoding i) warfarin targets, ii) NRs involved in the regulation of the targets and iii) miRNA involved in the regulation of NRs and the targets, are associated with warfarin dose requirements.
