DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of the K23 application is to develop myself into a successful independent investigator conducting patient-oriented research in transplant pharmacogenomics. As a transplant nephrologist and faculty member of at Vanderbilt University, my background includes an advanced degree in patient-oriented research (Master of Science in Clinical Investigation, MSCI) and formal clinical training in nephrology and kidney transplant. My K23 application builds on this background through a structured mentored program and didactic coursework to provide cross-training in pharmacology, genetics and genetic epidemiology, biostatistics, and clinical research to achieve my immediate and long-term goals. My five-year goal is to become an expert in transplant pharmacogenomics focused on the underlying genetic factors that affect individual variation in tacrolimus disposition and toxicities, particularly in relation to abnormal glucose metabolism and new onset diabetes after transplant (NODAT). My long-term goal is to become an independent physician scientist capable of conducting large patient-oriented research studies and clinical trials to bring personalized medicine into clinical practice in the transplant population. To successfully transition to independent extramural funding, I require continued strong mentorship. In this proposal, we delineate a training and research plan that benefits from dual mentorship through the Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) group and the Pharmacogenomics Research Network (PGRN), as well as the collaborative milieu of Vanderbilt, to provide a comprehensive mentored educational and research experience. My CTSA mentor, Dr. T. Alp Ikizler, is an internationally recognized leader on the metabolic complications of kidney disease and expert in the methodology of patient- based clinical research, serving as the director of the MSCI program and chair of the Scientific Review Committee for the CTSA, with outstanding success in training young investigators. My PGRN mentor, Dr. Dan Roden, leads Vanderbilt's personalized medicine initiative as a world-renowned expert and pioneer in pharmacogenomics and personalized medicine through his work in life-threatening arrhythmias. The research project focuses my efforts on the investigation of genetic factors that affect response to tacrolimus, the most widely used immunosuppressant medication in kidney transplant recipients. Patients require the drug daily to prevent rejection of the transplanted organ, but therapy is complicated by its narrow therapeutic index, need for therapeutic drug monitoring, high inter-individual variability, and associated toxicities. Toxicities include increased risk for hyperglycemia and new onset diabetes after transplant (NODAT). These conditions are clinically important because they are independent risk factors for increased cardiovascular disease in kidney transplant patients, which is the number one cause of death in patients with a functioning transplant. We will test the hypothesis that frequent polymorphisms in ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism and/or elimination) and non-ADME genes confer increased risk for abnormal glucose homeostasis in kidney transplant recipients treated with tacrolimus. The mentoring, career development, and research plans dovetail to maximize my ability to test this hypothesis in a concise manner and provide a framework for future investigations. To test our hypothesis, we will perform genetic association studies using both genome-wide and candidate gene approaches. Aim 1 will identify genetic variants associated with abnormal glucose metabolism in kidney transplant recipients on tacrolimus using Vanderbilt's DNA biobank, BioVU, and its lined de-identified electronic medical record in a genome-wide study. Aim 2 will use the same resources to find whether gene variants associated with abnormal glucose metabolism in kidney transplant recipients are associated with tacrolimus pharmacokinetics. Aim 3 will characterize relationships between candidate genes implicated in tacrolimus disposition and/or action with markers of insulin secretion, insulin sensitivity, adipokines, and inflammation in a prospective study. In completing the proposed training and research plans, I will gain the necessary expertise to design, conduct, and analyze pharmacogenomics studies. This will allow me to compete effectively for future NIH support and propel me to an independent career in patient-oriented research. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: A toxicity of tacrolimus in kidney transplantation is the development of hyperglycemia and new onset diabetes after transplant, clinical conditions which increase the risk of cardiovascular events in these patients. Using genome-wide and candidate gene association studies, we will study the genetic factors associated with abnormal glucose metabolism in kidney transplant patients taking tacrolimus. This may allow modification of immunosuppressive treatment to decrease risk of diabetes and improve long term transplant outcomes.

描述（由申请人提供）：K23申请的目的是将自己发展成为一名成功的独立研究者，在移植药物基因组学方面进行以患者为导向的研究。作为范德比尔特大学（Vanderbilt University）的移植肾病专家和教员，我的背景包括以患者为导向的研究的高级学位（临床研究理学硕士，MSCI）和肾脏学和肾脏移植的正式临床培训。我的K23申请建立在这样的背景下，通过结构化的指导计划和教学课程，提供药理学、遗传学和遗传流行病学、生物统计学和临床研究方面的交叉培训，以实现我的近期和长期目标。我的五年目标是成为一名移植药物基因组学专家，专注于影响他克莫司处置和毒性个体差异的潜在遗传因素，特别是与异常糖代谢和移植后新发糖尿病（NODAT）相关的遗传因素。我的长期目标是成为一名独立的内科科学家，能够进行大规模的以患者为导向的研究和临床试验，将个性化医疗引入移植人群的临床实践。为了成功过渡到独立的校外资助，我需要持续强有力的指导。在本提案中，我们描述了一个培训和研究计划，该计划受益于临床和转化科学奖（CTSA）小组和药物基因组学研究网络（PGRN）的双重指导，以及范德比尔特大学的合作环境，提供全面的指导教育和研究经验。我的CTSA导师T. Alp Ikizler博士是国际公认的肾脏疾病代谢并发症的领导者，也是以患者为基础的临床研究方法的专家，担任MSCI项目主任和CTSA科学审查委员会主席，在培训年轻研究者方面取得了杰出的成功。我的PGRN导师Dan Roden博士，作为药物基因组学和个性化医学领域的世界知名专家和先驱，通过他在危及生命的心律失常方面的工作，领导着范德比尔特的个性化医学计划。该研究项目的重点是研究影响肾移植受者对他克莫司反应的遗传因素，他克莫司是肾移植受者最广泛使用的免疫抑制药物。患者每天都需要使用该药来防止移植器官的排斥反应，但由于其治疗指标狭窄、需要监测治疗药物、个体间差异大以及相关的毒性，治疗变得复杂。毒性包括移植后高血糖和新发糖尿病（NODAT）的风险增加。这些情况在临床上很重要，因为它们是肾移植患者心血管疾病增加的独立危险因素，而心血管疾病是功能移植患者死亡的头号原因。我们将检验ADME（吸收、分布、代谢和/或消除）和非ADME基因的频繁多态性是否会增加他克莫司治疗肾移植受者葡萄糖稳态异常的风险。指导、职业发展和研究计划相吻合，最大限度地提高了我以简洁的方式检验这一假设的能力，并为未来的调查提供了一个框架。为了验证我们的假设，我们将使用全基因组和候选基因方法进行遗传关联研究。目的1将在一项全基因组研究中，利用范德比尔特大学的DNA生物库BioVU及其内衬去识别电子病历，确定与他克莫司肾移植受者糖代谢异常相关的遗传变异。Aim 2将使用相同的资源来发现与肾移植受者糖代谢异常相关的基因变异是否与他克莫司药代动力学相关。目的3将在一项前瞻性研究中描述与他克莫司处置和/或作用相关的候选基因与胰岛素分泌、胰岛素敏感性、脂肪因子和炎症标志物之间的关系。在完成拟议的培训和研究计划后，我将获得设计、实施和分析药物基因组学研究所需的专业知识。这将使我能够有效地竞争未来NIH的支持，并推动我独立从事以患者为导向的研究。
