Genetic variability of the μ-opioid receptor influences intrathecal fentanyl analgesia requirements in laboring women
چکیده انگلیسی
Labor initiates one of the most intensely painful episodes in a woman's life. Opioids are used to provide analgesia with substantial interindividual variability in efficacy. μ-Opioid receptor (μOR, OPRM1) genetic variants may explain differences in response to opioid analgesia. We hypothesized that OPRM1 304A/G polymorphism influences the median effective dose (ED50) of intrathecal fentanyl via combined spinal-epidural for labor analgesia. Nulliparous women were prospectively recruited around 35 weeks gestation (n = 224), and genotyped for 304A/G polymorphism. Those requesting neuraxial labor analgesia were enrolled in one of the two double-blinded trials: up-down sequential allocation (SA, n = 50) and a separate confirmatory random-dose allocation trial (RA, n = 97). Effective analgesia from intrathecal fentanyl was defined by ⩾60 min analgesia with verbal rating score ⩽1 (scale 0-10) and was compared between μOR 304A homozygotes (Group A) and women carrying at least one 304G allele (Group G). OPRM1 304G allele frequency f(−) was 0.18. Using SA, intrathecal fentanyl ED50 was 26.8 μg (95% CI 22.7-30.9) in Group A and 17.7 μg (95% CI 13.4-21.9) in Group G (p < 0.001; 304A homozygosity increased the ED50 1.5-fold). RA confirmed that 304A homozygosity significantly increases intrathecal fentanyl ED50 (27.4 μg in Group A and 12.8 μg in Group G [p < 0.002; 2.1-fold]). We demonstrate for the first time that the μOR 304G variant significantly reduces intrathecal fentanyl ED50 for labor analgesia, suggesting women with the G variant may be more responsive to opioids and require less analgesic drugs. These findings for intrathecal fentanyl pharmacogenetics may have implications for patients receiving opioids in other settings.
