BackgroundMultiple treatment options are available for the management of psoriasis, but clinical response varies among individual patients and no biomarkers are available to facilitate treatment selection for improved patient outcomes.ObjectivesTo utilize retrospective data to conduct a pharmacogenetic study to explore the potential genetic pathways associated with drug response in the treatment of psoriasis.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective pharmacogenetic study using self-evaluated treatment response from 1942 genotyped patients with psoriasis. We examined 6 502 658 genetic markers to model their associations with response to six treatment options using linear regression, adjusting for cohort variables and demographic features. We further utilized an integrative approach incorporating epigenomics, transcriptomics and a longitudinal clinical cohort to provide biological implications for the topmost signals associated with drug response.ResultsTwo novel markers were revealed to be associated with treatment response: rs1991820 (P= 1.30 × 10–6) for anti-tumour necrosis factor (TNF) biologics; and rs62264137 (P= 2.94 × 10–6) for methotrexate, which was also associated with cutaneous mRNA expression levels of two known psoriasis-related genesKLK7(P= 1.0 × 10–12) andCD200(P= 5.4 × 10–6). We demonstrated thatKLK7expression was increased in the psoriatic epidermis, as shown by immunohistochemistry, as well as single-cell RNA sequencing, and its responsiveness to anti-TNF treatment was highlighted. By inhibiting the expression ofKLK7, we further illustrated that keratinocytes have decreased proinflammatory responses to TNF.ConclusionsOur study implicates the genetic regulation of cytokine responses in predicting clinical drug response and supports the association between pharmacogenetic loci and anti-TNF response, as shown here forKLK7.
