ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the correlation between ABCB1 gene C3435T polymorphism and clinical efficacy of metoprolol,provided a theoretical basis for the precise treatment of hypertension. Methods A total of 120 patients with essential hypertension level 1 or level 2 and a resting heart rate of 80 beats were enrolled in the hospital from October 2016 to October 2017 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Jiamusi University.According to ABCB1 C3435T genotype,all patients were divided into CC group(n=40),CT group(n=57),TT group(n=16)and given oral metoprolol sustained-release tablets 47.5 mg/d.The metoprolol plasma concentration were mea-sured after one week.All subjects followed up to record the mean blood pressure and mean heart rate before and after treatment after four weeks,were compared the changes in blood pressure and heart rate before and after treatment and analyzed the clinical efficacy.Results The standard plasma concentration in group TT[(39.23±6.42)μg/L vs. (45.68±7.43)μg/L],the difference of mean systolic blood pressure before and after treatment in TT group[(18.8± 11.13)mmHg vs.(44±9.05)mmHg],the difference of mean systolic blood pressure before and after treatment in CT group[(26.91±9.33)mmHg vs.(44±9.05)mmHg],the difference of mean diastolic blood pressure before and after treatment in TT group[(11.6 ± 6.59)mmHg vs.(23.75 ± 7.47)mmHg],the difference of mean diastolic blood pressure before and after treatment in CT group[(14.73 ± 6.02)mmHg vs.(23.75 ± 7.47)mmHg]were significantly lower than those in CC group(all P<0.01).After treatment,the antihypertensive effect of CC group was significantly better than TT group(χ2= 6.132,P = 0.013). There was no significant difference in the rate of heart rate among three groups(χ2= 0.484,P = 0.785). There was no significant difference in the mean heart rate among the three groups before and after treatment(F = 1.278,P = 0.293). Conclusions The differences among three groups of genotype patients showed that the different genotypes of ABCB1 gene C3435T were related to the clinical efficacy of metoprolol,which provide a new idea and theoretical basis for the precise treatment of hypertension.
