Impact of SLCO1B1*5 on Flucloxacillin and Co-Amoxiclav–Related Liver Injury

Background: Idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a serious uncommon disease that may develop as a result of the intake of certain drugs such as the antimicrobials flucloxacillin and co-amoxiclav. The reported cases showed significant associations between DILI and various human leukocyte (HLA) markers. The solute carrier organic anion transporter 1B1 (SLCO1B1), a non-HLA candidate gene, was previously reported as a risk factor for liver injury induced by rifampin and methimazole. This study presumed that SLCO1B1 may play a general role in the DILI susceptibility and therefore investigated the association of rs4149056 (SLCO1B1*5, T521C) polymorphism with flucloxacillin- and co-amoxiclav–induced liver injury.

Methodology: We recruited 155 and 165 DILI cases of white ancestral origin from various European countries but mainly from the United Kingdom owing to flucloxacillin and co-amoxiclav, respectively. Only adult patients (≥18 years) who were diagnosed with liver injury and who showed i) clinical jaundice or bilirubin >2x the upper limit of normal (ULN), ii) alanine aminotransferase (ALT) >5x ULN or iii) alkaline phosphatase (ALP) >2x ULN and bilirubin > ULN were selected. The population reference sample (POPRES), a European control group (n = 282), was used in comparison with the investigated cases. TaqMan SNP genotyping custom assay designed by Applied Biosystems was used to genotype both DILI cohorts for SLCO1B1 polymorphism (rs4149056). Allelic discrimination analysis was performed using a step one real-time PCR machine. Genotype differences between cases and controls were examined using Fisher’s exact test. GraphPad Prism version 5.0 was used to determine the p-value, odds ratio, and 95% confidence interval. Compliance of the control group with Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium was proven using a web-based calculator available at https://wpcalc.com/en/equilibrium-hardy-weinberg/.

Results: A small number of cases failed genotyping in each cohort. Thus, only 149 flucloxacillin and 162 co-amoxiclav DILI cases were analyzed. Genotyping of both DILI cohorts did not show evidence of association with the variant rs4149056 (T521C) (OR = 0.71, 95% CI = 0.46–1.12; p = 0.17 for flucloxacillin cases and OR = 0.87, 95% CI = 0.56–1.33; p = 0.58 for co-amoxiclav), although slightly lower frequency (22.8%) of positive flucloxacillin cases was noticed than that of POPRES controls (29.4%).

Conclusion: Carriage of the examined allele SLCO1B1*5 is not considered a risk factor for flucloxacillin DILI or co-amoxiclav DILI as presumed. Testing a different allele (SLCO1B1*1B) and another family member gene (SLCO1B3) may still be needed to provide a clearer role of SLCO1B drug transporters in DILI development–related to the chosen antimicrobials.

Introduction

Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is an uncommon but serious adverse reaction that may develop upon exposure to several drugs (Andrade et al., 2019). Antibiotics are considered the most commonly implicated drug category in idiosyncratic DILI development (Katarey and Verma, 2016; Björnsson, 2017). Flucloxacillin and co-amoxiclav are well-tolerated beta-lactam penicillins and widely used in clinical practice with an acceptable safety profile; however, they have been reported to cause DILI (Donati et al., 2017; Lindh et al., 2018; Teixeira et al., 2020).

Despite the increased number of studies to identify genetic risk factors contributed to DILI development, the exact genetic profile for propensity to DILI is not fully understood, with some important exceptions. Several reports demonstrated a strong influence of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes on DILI susceptibility due to flucloxacillin and co-amoxiclav, though the overall effects are small (Donaldson et al., 2008; Daly et al., 2009). Thus, it is likely that the non-HLA markers may also contribute. Drug transporters play an important role in drug absorption, extent of tissue penetration, and excretion. The transporter’s altered function as a result of genetic polymorphism may lead to idiosyncratic toxicity (DeGorter et al., 2012). An example of a drug uptake transporter is the organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B1 (OATP1B1), encoded by solute carrier organic anion-transporting polypeptide 1B1 (SLCO1B1) (Niemi et al., 2011). This gene is exclusively expressed on the liver sinusoidal membrane and functions as a mediator for uptake and clearance of bilirubin, bile acids, and xenobiotic compounds such as statins, penicillins (Yamaguchi et al., 2011), and certain cancer agents, including irinotecan and methotrexate, from blood stream by transporting them into the liver (Niemi et al., 2011). The transporting functions of OATP1B1 can be significantly affected by selected SLCO1B1 variants (Kasai and Ikeda, 2011; Jones et al., 2012; Nies et al., 2013). The variant rs4149056 in SLCO1B1 (SLCO1B1*5) is a non-synonymous mutation that results in an amino acid change from valine (T allele) to alanine (C allele) at codon 174. SLCO1B1*5 was found to be a strong predictor to statin-induced myopathy (Link et al., 2008; Carr et al., 2013). It has also shown to be a risk factor for several other types of adverse drug reactions such as anemia and GI toxicity associated with the administration of regorafenib and methotrexate, respectively (Treviño et al., 2009; Maeda et al., 2017). Moreover, a meta-analysis study revealed a significant influence of SLCO1B1*5 on elevated serum levels of bilirubin and gallstone composition (Johnson et al., 2009; Buch et al., 2010; Srivastava et al., 2011). In a knockout mouse model, animals carrying a mutated SLCO1B2 gene, the closest orthologic gene of the human SLCO1B1 and SLCO1B3, showed lower liver uptake of certain tested drugs (pravastatin, lovastatin, and rifampicin) compared to that of wild-type controls (DeGorter et al., 2012). These results are consistent with previous human studies that emphasized lower hepatic uptake of a variety of statins and rifampicin in patients carrying SLCO1B1 variants (Li et al., 2012; Meyer zu Schwabedissen et al., 2015; Wu et al., 2018). Accumulation of xenobiotics in plasma causes further inhibition in hepatic uptake and excretion of bile acids, which underlies the formation of gallstones and development of liver injury (Kemp et al., 2005; Li et al., 2012). Although both SLCO1B1 and SLCO1B3 transporters may contribute to hepatic penicillin uptake (Yamaguchi et al., 2011), data on functional significance of polymorphisms in SLCO1B3 transporter are limited. Therefore, this study has focused on SLCO1B1 as a candidate gene for flucloxacillin- and co-amoxiclav–related DILI focusing on SLCO1B1*5 (rs4149056, T521C).

Materials and Methods

DILI Cases

A total of 155 flucloxacillin DILI and 165 co-amoxiclav DILI cases were recruited based on the inclusion criteria described below. All cases were white European patients recruited from various European countries including Netherlands, Iceland, Sweden, but the majority were recruited from the United Kingdom. The clinical and biochemical features of the flucloxacillin cases are provided in Table 1, whereas the patient characteristics of co-amoxiclav DILI cases were described in a previous project (Alshabeeb et al., 2020). All data were extracted from two previous studies DILIGEN and iDILIC, which were described in detail by Donaldson et al. (2010), Lucena et al. (2011), Nicoletti et al. (2017), and Cirulli et al. (2019).

Inclusion Criteria and Patient Eligibility

Patients (≥18 years) need to fulfill one of the following three diagnostic criteria to be recruited: 1) clinical jaundice or bilirubin >2x the upper limit of normal (ULN), 2) alanine aminotransferase (ALT) >5x ULN, or 3) alkaline phosphatase (ALP) >2x ULN and bilirubin > ULN. Informed consents of all patients were signed and drug causality by either flucloxacillin or co-amoxiclav was adjudicated by two expert hepatologists (Professor Guruprasad Aithal and Dr Einar Bjornsson) based on the international consensus criteria (RUCAM scoring) (Bénichou, 1990; Aithal et al., 2011).

Control Samples

The population reference sample, POPRES (n = 282) was used as the control group. The United Kingdom individuals from this cohort are described by Nelson et al. (2008). The POPRES group is a resource for population, disease, and pharmacological genetics research that has been shown to be a good genetic match for the flucloxacillin and co-amoxiclav cases included in the GWAS for DILI due to these drugs (Daly et al., 2009; Lucena et al., 2011). The population controls used were not necessarily drug treated since drug histories on the population controls were not available. However, it is widely accepted to use drug non-exposed controls in genetic studies involving comparisons with very rare diseases affecting <1% such as DILI due to the very low likelihood that controls would ever develop the disease (Nelson et al., 2009). Also, recruitment of controls for the study who had been prescribed flucloxacillin and/or co-amoxiclav and following them up would be expensive and time-consuming and was not feasible, given the limited resources and time. Cases and controls were not matched for age and sex as the demographic data for the used control group are not available.

TaqMan Assay

TaqMan SNP genotyping custom assay was used to genotype both DILI cohorts for SLCO1B1 polymorphism (rs4149056). It was designed by Applied Biosystems and delivered as 20X single-tube mixtures (188 µl) of forward and reverse primers (900 µM) in addition to two reporter probes (200 µM). The 5′ end of each probe is linked to different fluorescent allele–specific dyes; a fluorescein amidite (FAM) is allele 2 (C)–specific, while VIC is the reporter for allele 1 (T). The 2X TaqMan universal PCR master mix (Applied Biosystems) was used which contains AmpliTaq Gold^® DNA polymerase, dNTP, and passive internal reference based on proprietary ROX dye.

To prepare the reaction mix to amplify 48 samples in 48-well plates, 15 µl of 20X working stock of SNP genotyping assay was added to 285 µl of 2X universal master mix and diluted with 200 µl of distilled water. After vortexing, 10 µl of the mixture was transferred into each well of the 48 reaction plates. Next, 20 ng of wet genomic DNA was added. The plate was sealed and inserted into the one-step Applied Biosystems real-time PCR machine. The PCR temperature was maintained on hold for 10 min at 95°C, then reduced to 92°C for 15 s (denaturation), and further reduced in annealing and extension stages to 60°C for 1 min each for 40 cycles.

Statistical Analysis

Differences between tested cases and control genotypes were examined using Fisher’s exact test. p-value, odds ratio, and 95% confidence interval were calculated using GraphPad Prism version 5.0. Compliance with Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium was calculated for the control group to confirm that they met standard quality criteria using a web-based calculator available at https://wpcalc.com/en/equilibrium-hardy-weinberg/.

Genotyping Results

Six of flucloxacillin cases and three of co-amoxicillin cases failed genotyping; therefore, the remaining analyzed samples were 149 and 162, respectively. Analysis of TaqMan genotyping results of both co-amoxiclav and flucloxacillin DILI cohorts did not show evidence of association with the tested groups (OR = 0.71, 95% CI = 0.46–1.12; p = 0.17) for flucloxacillin cases and OR = 0.87, 95% CI = 0.56–1.33; p = 0.58 for co-amoxiclav, Table 2). Despite the observed slightly lower frequency of positive flucloxacillin cases (22.8%) than that of POPRES controls (29.4%), this difference was not significant. Subgroup analysis of flucloxacillin cases negative (n = 24) and positive for rs2395029 (n = 125), a tag SNP in full linkage disequilibrium (LD) with HLA-B*57:01, which was described as major determinant of flucloxacillin DILI (Daly et al., 2009), was also performed but failed to detect a role for SLCO1B1 in flucloxacillin DILI susceptibility (for negative cases: OR = 0.48, 95% CI = 0.16–1.45; p = 0.24, for positive cases: OR = 0.76, 95% CI = 0.47–1.23; p = 0.28). In addition, we investigated the contribution of SLCO1B1 to DILI in the cases with cholestatic or mixed DILI within the flucloxacillin group, but there was no effect observed (OR = 0.90, 95% CI = 0.57–1.41; p = 0.64).

Discussion

Drug-related adverse hepatic reactions are thought to evolve either due to a direct exposure of hepatocytes to toxic parent drugs or their metabolites (non-immune pathway) or as a result of inflammatory mediator activation (immune-mediated), though the exact mechanisms by which drugs enhance liver toxicity is not clear yet (Kaplowitz and DeLeve, 2013). The immune-mediated DILI is commonly accompanied by the classical allergic reactions including eosinophilia, fever, and rash, although absence of such reactions does not necessarily exclude immune response contribution to DILI as in the case of drug-induced autoimmunity (Uetrecht, 2008). Numerous environmental and genetic factors have been suggested to play a role in the induction of metabolic-related DILI. In patients with SLCO1B1 variants, which inhibit hepatic uptake of drugs and bile acids, the elevated bile salts are predicted to trigger antimicrobial-induced cholestasis and liver inflammation (Li et al., 2012).

Some genetic factors may play a general role for DILI susceptibility rather than being drug-specific (Daly and Day, 2009). The previous reported findings suggested SLCO1B1*15, a haplotype that includes SLCO1B1*5 and SLCO1B1*1B (rs2306283 and A388G), as a risk factor for drug-induced liver injury (DILI) due to rifampin (Li et al., 2012) and methimazole (Jin et al., 2019). In addition, individuals positive for SLCO1B1*15 showed higher risk to develop liver damage when exposed to high levels of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), a compound commonly found in contaminated food (Yang et al., 2017). Moreover, hyperlipidemic patients who are positive for SLCO1B1*15 showed the highest abnormal levels of liver enzymes (ALT and AST) (Wu et al., 2018). Based on the documented associations of SLCO1B1 with DILI, this study intended for the first time to investigate SLCO1B1*5 (rs4149056) as a potential candidate gene to DILI development related to the antimicrobials flucloxacillin and co-amoxiclav. The minimum allele frequency (MAF) was carried by 16.3% of the POPRES white European population control group used in this study, which is consistent to the frequency (17%) reported in a larger study on 1,105 healthy volunteers from 18 different European countries (Mizzi et al., 2016), though inter-ethnic differences related to the tested SLCO1B1 allelic variant were noted among these countries, in particular in Polish, Cypriot, and Lithuanian (MAF = 35%, 7%, and 38%, respectively). The reported allele frequency among South African and Saudi Arabian is higher than the average frequency seen in Europeans of white origin (MAF = 22% and 27% vs. 17%) (Mizzi et al., 2016).

Our findings showed no significant associations between the examined variant and DILI in relation to either flucloxacillin or co-amoxiclav. The most common patterns of DILI are a cholestatic phenotype due to bile duct obstruction and disturbances in bile secretion, a hepatocellular phenotype that is characterized by the elevation of liver enzymes, particularly ALT, or a mixed presentation (Hoofnagle and Björnsson, 2019). The previous reports on flucloxacillin DILI cases emphasized that a stronger genetic association can be detected in patients with cholestatic or mixed (cholestatic and hepatocellular) phenotypes (Russmann et al., 2005; Daly et al., 2009). Subgroup analyses in this study which focused on patients with cholestatic and mixed injury features also did not show any genotype–phenotype associations. Restricting the analysis for the cases positive for the HLA-B*57:01 marker, previously identified as the most important allele that impacted flucloxacillin hepatotoxicity (Daly et al., 2009), was attempted to investigate if a synergy exists between HLA-B*57:01 and SLCO1B1*5. Our results were negative, and the influence of the HLA variant had been suppressed when SLCO1B1*5 was considered.

The SLCO1B1*1B was previously reported as the major determinant of the expression of the OATP1B1 receptor in the liver (Nies et al., 2013); therefore, it is necessary to genotype both alleles (SLCO1B1*5 and SLCO1B1*1B) to determine the impact of the SLCO1B1 haplotype (SLCO1B1*15) on flucloxacillin and co-amoxiclav DILI cases.

Interestingly, in view of the apparently more important role for SLCO1B3 than that of SLCO1B1 in the transport of penicillins and related compounds (Yamaguchi et al., 2011), genotyping for SNPs in this second transporter gene would be worthwhile in the future. SLCO1B1 and 1B3 are both located on chromosome 12p12 and there is linkage disequilibrium between polymorphisms in both genes. In particular, a recent report has shown that the SNP genotypes of rs4149056 (Val174Ala) in SLCO1B1 are in linkage disequilibrium with several SNPs in SLCO1B3 (Nies et al., 2013). Some of these linked SNPs in SLCO1B3 are non-synonymous and associated with impaired transport of the immunosuppressant tacrolimus (Boivin et al., 2013). Common SLCO1B3 variants were found to be risk factors for hyperbilirubinemia in adults (Sanna et al., 2009) and neonates (Alencastro de Azevedo et al., 2012). Hence, studying this gene directly in penicillin-related DILI would still be appropriate.

In conclusion, this study indicated that the previous reported DILI associations with SLCO1B1 are either drug-specific (e.g., rifampin and methimazole) or related to a haplotype, including both SLCO1B1*5 and SLCO1B1*1B, rather than associated to a single marker only. Thus, no associations were detected between neither flucloxacillin DILI nor co-amoxiclav DILI with the tested allele (SLCO1B1*5).
