RESUMO
We investigated the effect of pregnane X receptor (PXR) polymorphisms on tacrolimus (FK506) blood trough concentrations and the associated adverse reactions in kidney transplantation recipients (KTRs). Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-restriction fragment length polymorphism was used to detect the genotypes of single nucleotide polymorphism loci in 336 KTRs. The PXR six-base deletion mutation was classified using specific allele PCR, and the FK506 blood trough concentration in the KTRs was measured by chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay. There were significant differences in adverse reactions resulting from FK506 in age, weight, body mass index (BMI) and treatment course (P < 0.05). Logistical regression revealed that the FK506 treatment course and BMI were risk factors for hyperlipidemia, and the risk of hyperlipidemia increased 27.534 times when the BMI was less than 18.5. Moreover, age was also a risk factor leading to hyperglycemia. FK506 blood trough concentration and C0/D value had an impact on adverse reactions induced by hyperglycemia. The KTRs' PXR rs3842689, rs6785049, and rs1523127 mutation frequencies were 26.07, 11.79, and 16.07%, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in the mutation frequency of each locus between the control group and the adverse reaction groups. Therefore, rs3842689, 7635G>A (rs6785049), and 24381C>A (rs1523127) PXR polymorphisms have no obvious impact on FK506; furthermore, the PXR rs3842689 wild-type homozygous WW genotype is a risk factor of FK506 and results in gastrointestinal reactions.

We conducted this case-control study to assess the role of the VEGF -2578C/A, +1612G/A, +936C/T and -634G/C gene polymorphisms in the development of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). A hospital-based case-control study was conducted in a 360 consecutive primary RCC patients and 360 age and gender-matched controls during January 2010 and January 2014. The polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism was used for VEGF -2578C/A, +1612G/A, +936C/T and -634G/C genotyping. Multivariate conditional logistic regression analyses showed that subjects carrying the AA and the CA+AA genotypes of VEGF -2578C/A had significant association with increased risk of RCC compared to those having the CC genotype, and the ORs (95%CI) were 1.77 (1.10-2.85) and 1.37 (1.01-1.86), respectively. Using the conditional logistic regression model, CA+AA genotype of VEGF -2578C/A had a significantly increased risk of RCC in ever cigarette smokers, and individuals with hypertension, and the ORs (95%CI) were 1.93 (1.08-3.45) and 2.57 (1.06-6.57), respectively. In conclusion, our results showed that AA genotype of VEGF -2578C/A genetic variants is associated with increased risk of RCC.
