Study on relationships of MS4A1 gene polymorphism with blood concentration and efficacy of rituximab in patients with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
) polymorphism on the blood concentration and efficacy of rituximab in patients with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
METHODS
2
A prospective observational study was conducted on 160 newly diagnosed non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma patients who received the R-CHOP regimen at the Sun Yat Sen University Cancer Center from January 2016 to December 2020, with a minimum follow-up period of approximately 5 years. The blood concentration of rituximab was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
MS4A1
tagSNPs were selected by Haploview4.2 software, including rs1051461, rs17155034, rs4939364, and rs10501385. The genotype of
MS4A1
was detected by Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Univariate linear regression analysis was employed to examine the correlation between various factors(demographic, clinical, and genotypic variables) in patients and the steady-state trough concentration of rituximab during the first course of treatment, followed by multivariate linear regression analysis. Kaplan-Meier curves were drawn to evaluate progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Using
MS4A1
genotype and tumor stage as independent variables, Cox regression model was employed to evaluate the factors influencing patient prognosis.
RESULTS
2
The blood concentration of rituximab in
MS4A1
rs10501385 CC carriers was 15.20 μg/mL,which was significantly lower than 21.95 μg/mL in AA+AC carriers (
P
<0.05). The multivariate linear regression model incorporating tumor stage and
MS4A1
rs10501385 polymorphism explained 7.3% of the interindividual variability in rituximab concentrations. Compared wi
th
MS4A1
rs1051461 CC carriers, CT+TT carriers had significantly prolonged PFS and OS (
P
<0.05). The Cox proportional hazards regression model showed that the
MS4A1
rs1051461 CC genotype (HR=4.406, 95%CI:1.743-11.137,
P
<0.05) and tumor Ⅲ
&
Ⅳ (HR=3.233, 95%CI: 1.413-7.399,
P
<0.05) were independent risk factors for PFS.
CONCLUSIONS
2
The tumor staging and
MS4A1
rs10501385 polymorphism are key influencing factors for blood concentration of rituximab, and
MS4A1
rs1051461 polymorphism significantly affects PFS in non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma patients.
