Inosine 5′-monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) is a target of the immunosuppressive drug, mycophenolic acid (MPA). A twelve hour clinical pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic study was conducted to study the effects of diabetes on IMPDH type I and -II gene expression, protein level and enzymatic activity. The effects were studied on nondiabetic (ND, n=11) and diabetic (D, n=9) kidney transplant recipients as well as on non-transplant nondiabetic (n=10) and diabetic (n=10) volunteers. Diabetes significantly reduced the gene expression using area under the effect curve of IMPDH-I [ND: 22.1 (13.8-31.3) vs. D: 4.5 (2.3-6.5), P<0.001] and IMPDH-II [ND: 15.3 (11.0-21.7) vs. D: 6.1 (4.6-8.6), P<0.001], protein level [IMPDH-I, ND: 1.0 (0.5-1.3) vs. 0.5 (0.4-0.7), P=0.002; IMPDH-II, ND: 1.0 (0.6-1.6) vs. D: 0.7 (0.6-0.8) P<0.001] and enzymatic activity [ND: 180 (105-245) vs. D: 29.9 (15.3-35.6) μmol/s/mol adenosine monophosphate, P<0.001] in transplant recipients. Similar results were observed in non-transplanted volunteers. Kinetic studies of mycophenolic acid-mediated suppression of IMPDH activity in non-transplanted individuals revealed an approximately 2.5-fold lower half-maximum effective concentration (EC50) for diabetic as compared with nondiabetic [ND: 50.2 (49.8-50.7) vs. D: 15.8 (15.6-16.3) nmol/l, P=0.004] volunteers. The lower IMPDH gene expression or activity in diabetic patients could not be explained by the difference in IMPDH gene polymorphism. This study clearly indicates a significant downregulation effect of IMPDH gene expression, protein level as well as activity in diabetic patients. Further clinical studies in a larger number of patients are warranted to verify whether MPA dosing require to be optimized for kidney transplant recipients with diabetes mellitus.
