| Abstract: | Thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) is an important enzyme involved in the deactivation of thiopurines and represents a major determinant of thiopurine-related toxicities. Despite its well-known importance in thiopurine metabolism, the understanding of its endogenous role is lacking. In the present study, we aimed to gain insight into the molecular processes involving TPMT by applying a data fusion approach to analyze whole-genome expression data. The RNA profiling was done on whole blood samples from 1017 adult male and female donors to the Estonian biobank using Illumina HTv3 arrays. Our results suggest that TPMT is closely related to genes involved in oxidoreductive processes. The in vitro experiments on different cell models confirmed that TPMT influences redox capacity of the cell by altering S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) consumption and consequently glutathione (GSH) synthesis. Furthermore, by comparing gene networks of subgroups of individuals, we identified genes, which could have a role in regulating TPMT activity. The biological relevance of identified genes and pathways will have to be further evaluated in molecular studies. |
