Abstract:
:The pregnane X receptor (PXR/NR1I2) gene is a master regulator for a number of cytochrome P450s (CYPs) and drug transporters. This study aimed to detect the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the PXR gene in Han Chinese (n = 186) and to compare the frequencies of polymorphisms of the PXR gene with those in Caucasian and African Americans reported in the literature. The SNPs of the PXR gene were analyzed using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and direct sequencing analysis. The mutant frequencies of A11156C and T11193C in Han Chinese were 55% (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.49-0.61) and 59% (95% CI: 0.52-0.64), respectively, higher than those of Caucasian Americans (16 and 16%, respectively) and African Americans (33 and 30%, respectively). However, the reported SNPs in exons 2 and 4 (PXR*2,*3,*4,*6,*9,*10,and *11) were not detected in Han Chinese. These results indicate that there are marked differences in the mutant frequencies of A11156C and T11193C of PXR between Han Chinese and other ethnic groups. The mutant frequency in the coding region (exons 2 and 4) of PXR was very low in Han Chinese. Further studies are needed to determine the impact of common SNPs of PXR in Han Chinese and other ethnic populations on the phenotypic activity of cytochrome P450s and drug transporters transactivated by PXR.
