Blood level of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) is associated with liver function and immune homeostasis, which suggests it as a potential biomarker for immunosuppressant tacrolimus dose requirement at liver transplantation (LT).Aim.To evaluate diagnostic efficacy of TGF-β1 blood level at determination of individual tacrolimus dose requirement in children at LT.Materials and methods.89 children with end stage liver disease aged from 3 to 73 months were examined. Children underwent living related LT, then the recipients received 2–3 component immunosuppressive therapy, including tacrolimus. Blood concentration of tacrolimus and TGF-β1 was measured by ELISA.Results.TGF-β1 blood level in children before LT was significantly lower than in healthy children: 3.7 (1.3–8.4) and 19.3 (12.6–25.5) ng/ml, p = 0.001. A month after LT, its concentration increased to 8.1 (1.8–15.3) ng/ml (p = 0.02). A year after LT, the cytokine level remained higher than before transplantation: 6.6 (1.9–12.6) ng/ml, p = 0.01. TGF-β1 level did not correlate with tacrolimus blood concentration, determined 12 hours after the last administration of the drug, neither a month, nor a year after transplantation. At the same time, the cytokine level one month after LT was associated with a tacrolimus daily dose one year after the operation (r = –0.23, p = 0.04). In the recipients, who received smaller daily doses (0.4–2.5 mg) of tacrolimus, TGF-β1 level was higher than in those receiving large doses (3.0–6.0 mg) of the drug: 9.1 (2.6–16.2) ng/ml vs. 4.2 (1.3–9.2) ng/ ml, p = 0.04. Evaluation of diagnostic efficacy of the TGF-β1 level as a test for the detection of tacrolimus dose requirement showed that the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.66 ± 0.07; 95% CI [0.53–0.79], the sensitivity and specificity of the test were 60 and 74% at threshold value 6.7 ng/ml. Relative risk of higher tacrolimus dose requirement was 3.14 ± 0.48; 95% CI [1.24–7.96].Conclusion.TGF-β1 blood level in one month after LT less than 6.7 ng/ml is 3 times higher risk factor of tacrolimus dose requirement more than 3.0 mg per day. The likehood of the test is 66%, the sensitivity and specificity – 60 and 74%.

AbstractHigh inter-individual variability in tacrolimus clearance is attributed to genetic polymorphisms of CYP3A enzymes. However, due to CYP3A phenoconversion induced by non-genetic factors, continuous changes in tacrolimus-metabolizing capacity entail frequent dose-refinement for optimal immunosuppression. In heart transplant recipients, the contribution of patients’ CYP3A-status (CYP3A5 genotype and CYP3A4 expression) to tacrolimus blood concentration and dose-requirement was evaluated in the early and late post-operative period. In low CYP3A4 expressers carrying CYP3A5*3/*3, the dose-corrected tacrolimus level was significantly higher than in normal CYP3A4 expressers or in those with CYP3A5*1. Modification of the initial tacrolimus dose was required for all patients: dose reduction by 20% for low CYP3A4 expressers, a 40% increase for normal expressers and a 2.4-fold increase for CYP3A5*1 carriers. The perioperative high-dose corticosteroid therapy was assumed to ameliorate the low initial tacrolimus-metabolizing capacity during the first month. The fluctuation of CYP3A4 expression and tacrolimus blood concentration (C0/D) was found to be associated with tapering and cessation of corticosteroid in CYP3A5 non-expressers, but not in those carrying CYP3A5*1. Although monitoring of tacrolimus blood concentration cannot be omitted, assaying recipients’ CYP3A-status can guide optimization of the initial tacrolimus dose, and can facilitate personalized tacrolimus therapy during steroid withdrawal in the late post-operative period.
