    Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium Guideline for CYP2D6, OPRM1, and COMT Genotypes and Select Opioid Therapy
    (Wiley, 2021) Crews, Kristine R.; Monte, Andrew A.; Huddart, Rachel; Caudle, Kelly E.; Kharasch, Evan D.; Gaedigk, Andrea; Dunnenberger, Henry M.; Leeder, J. Steven; Callaghan, John T.; Samer, Caroline Flora; Klein, Teri E.; Haidar, Cyrine E.; Van Driest, Sara L.; Ruano, Gualberto; Sangkuhl, Katrin; Cavallari, Larisa H.; Müller, Daniel J.; Prows, Cynthia A.; Nagy, Mohamed; Somogyi, Andrew A.; Skaar, Todd C.; Medicine, School of Medicine
    Opioids are mainly used to treat both acute and chronic pain. Several opioids are metabolized to some extent by CYP2D6 (codeine, tramadol, hydrocodone, oxycodone and methadone). Polymorphisms in CYP2D6 have been studied for an association with the clinical effect and safety of these drugs. Other genes which have been studied for their association with opioid clinical effect or adverse events include OPRM1 (mu receptor) and COMT (catechol-O-methyltransferase). This guideline updates and expands the 2014 Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) guideline for CYP2D6 genotype and codeine therapy and includes a summation of the evidence describing the impact of CYP2D6, OPRM1 and COMT on opioid analgesia and adverse events. We provide therapeutic recommendations for the use of CYP2D6 genotype results for prescribing codeine and tramadol and describe the limited and/or weak data for CYP2D6 and hydrocodone, oxycodone and methadone and for OPRM1 and COMT for clinical use.

    Effects of oxycodone pharmacogenetics on postoperative analgesia and related clinical outcomes in children: a pilot prospective study
    (Taylor & Francis, 2023) Aruldhas, Blessed W.; Quinney, Sara K.; Packiasabapathy, Senthil; Overholser, Brian R.; Raymond, Olivia; Sivam, Sahana; Sivam, Inesh; Velu, Sanjana; Montelibano, Antoinette; Sadhasivam, Senthilkumar; Medicine, School of Medicine
    Background: Variability in the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of oxycodone in children undergoing surgery could be due to genetic polymorphisms. Materials & methods: The authors studied the association between clinical outcomes and pharmacogenes in children undergoing major surgery. A total of 89 children (35 undergoing pectus excavatum repair and 54 undergoing spinal fusion) were recruited. Results: OPRM1 SNP rs6902403 showed an association with maximum pain score and total morphine equivalent dose (p < 0.05). Other polymorphisms in OPRM1 SNP, PXR, COMT and ABCB1 were also shown to be associated with average morphine equivalent dose, length of hospital stay and maximum surgical pain (p < 0.05). Conclusion: This study demonstrates novel associations between the above pharmacogenes and oxycodone's pharmacokinetics as well as postoperative outcomes in children.

    Microglial knockdown does not affect acute withdrawal but delays analgesic tolerance from oxycodone in male and female C57BL/6J mice
    (Frontiers Media, 2022-12-16) El Jordi, Omar; Fischer, Kathryn D.; Meyer, Timothy B.; Atwood, Brady K.; Oblak, Adrian L.; Pan, Raymond W.; McKinzie, David L.; Pharmacology and Toxicology, School of Medicine
    Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) affects approximately 8%–12% of the population. In dependent individuals, abrupt cessation of opioid taking results in adverse withdrawal symptoms that reinforce drug taking behavior. Considerable unmet clinical need exists for new pharmacotherapies to treat opioid withdrawal as well as improve long-term abstinence. The neuroimmune system has received much scientific attention in recent years as a potential therapeutic target to combat various neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders including addiction. However, the specific contribution of microglia has not been investigated in oxycodone dependence. Chronic daily treatment with the CSF1R inhibitor Pexidartinib (PLX3397) was administered to knockdown microglia expression and evaluate consequences on analgesia and on naloxone induced withdrawal from oxycodone. In vivo results indicated that an approximately 40% reduction in brain IBA1 staining was achieved in the PLX treatment group, which was associated with a delay in the development of analgesic tolerance to oxycodone and maintained antinociceptive efficacy. Acute withdrawal behavioral symptoms, brain astrocyte expression, and levels of many neuroinflammatory markers were not affected by PLX treatment. KC/GRO (also known as CXCL1) was significantly enhanced in the somatosensory cortex in oxycodone‐treated mice receiving PLX. Microglial knock-down did not affect the expression of naloxoneinduced opioid withdrawal but affected antinociceptive responsivity. The consequences of increased KC/GRO expression within the somatosensory cortex due to microglial reduction during opioid dependence are unclear but may be important for neural pathways mediating opioid‐induced analgesia.

    Pharmacogenomics of oxycodone: a narrative literature review
    (Future Science Group, 2021) Umukoro, Nelly N.; Aruldhas, Blessed W.; Rossos, Ryan; Pawale, Dhanashri; Renschler, Janelle S.; Sadhasivam, Senthilkumar; Anesthesia, School of Medicine
    Oxycodone is a semisynthetic μ- and κ-opioid receptor with agonist with a broad scope of use including postoperative analgesia as well as control of neuropathic and cancer pain. Advantages over other opioids include prolonged duration of action, greater potency than morphine and lack of histamine release or ceiling effect. Individual responses to oxycodone can vary due to genetic differences. This review article aims to summarize the oxycodone literature and provide context on its pharmacogenomics and pharmacokinetics. The evidence for clinical effect of genetic polymorphisms on oxycodone is conflicting. There is stronger evidence linking polymorphic genetic enzymes CYP2D6 and CYP3A with therapeutic outcomes. Further, research is needed to discern all of oxycodone's metabolites and their contribution to the overall analgesic effect.

    Two Weeks of Continuous Opioid Treatment in an Adenine-Induced Mouse Model of Chronic Kidney Disease Exacerbates the Bone Inflammatory State and Increases Osteoclasts
    (Springer, 2024) Metzger, Corinne E.; Grecco, Gregory G.; Tak, Landon Y.; Atwood, Brady K.; Allen, Matthew R.; Anatomy, Cell Biology and Physiology, School of Medicine
    Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) report high pain levels, but reduced renal clearance eliminates many analgesic options; therefore, 30-50% of CKD patients have chronic opioid prescriptions. Opioid use in CKD is associated with higher fracture rates. Opioids may directly alter bone turnover directly through effects on bone cells and indirectly via increasing inflammation. We hypothesized that continuous opioid exposure would exacerbate the high bone turnover state of CKD and be associated with elevated measures of inflammation. Male C57Bl/6J mice after 8 weeks of adenine-induced CKD (AD) and non-AD controls (CON) had 14-day osmotic pumps (0.25-µL/hr release) containing either saline or 50-mg/mL oxycodone (OXY) surgically implanted in the subscapular region. After 2 weeks, all AD mice had elevated blood urea nitrogen, parathyroid hormone, and serum markers of bone turnover compared to controls with no effect of OXY. Immunohistochemical staining of the distal femur showed increased numbers of osteocytes positive for the mu opioid and for toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) due to OXY. Osteocyte protein expression of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and RANKL were higher due to both AD and OXY so that AD + OXY mice had the highest values. Trabecular osteoclast-covered surfaces were also significantly higher due to both AD and OXY, resulting in AD + OXY mice having 4.5-fold higher osteoclast-covered surfaces than untreated CON. These data demonstrate that opioids are associated with a pro-inflammatory state in osteocytes which increases the pro-resorptive state of CKD.
