PADI2 is significantly associated with rheumatoid arthritis.

ABSTRACT: Citrullination, a posttranslational modification of peptidyl arginine to citrulline, plays an essential role in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Citrullination is catalyzed by a group of peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs) including PADI 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6. Many studies have indicated that the gene encoding PADI4 is a factor in susceptibility to RA. Some studies have detected PADI2 expression in RA synovial tissues, suggesting that PADI2 also plays an important role in the disease. This study evaluated the possible association between the PADI2-encoding gene and RA. Seventeen tag SNPs across the PAD locus were genotyped using a custom-designed Illumina 96-SNP VeraCode microarray. Peripheral blood samples were collected from patients with RA (n?=?267), ankylosing spondylitis (AS, n?=?51) and healthy controls (n?=?160). The results of genotyping were verified using Sequenom MassARRAY in an independent cohort of 307 patients with RA, 324 patients with AS and 509 healthy controls. A western blot analysis was performed using synovial tissue from patients with RA (n?=?7), osteoarthritis (OA, n?=?7) and AS (n?=?5) to determine the levels of expression of PADI2. A microarray analysis revealed a significant association between three selected PADI2 SNPs (rs2235926, rs2057094, rs2076616) and the presence of RA. The increased susceptibility to RA associated with rs2235926 (OR?=?1.706733, 95% CI?=?[1.576366-1.866587], p?=?0.000839) and rs2057094 (OR?=?1.360432, 95% CI?=?[1.065483-1.869482], p?=?0.003291) was further confirmed by the Sequenom MassARRAY. No tag SNPs in the PADI2 locus showed a significant association with AS. Increased expression of PADI2 was detected in RA synovial tissues compared with samples from patients with OA and AS. PADI2 is significantly associated with RA and may be involved in the pathogenesis of the disease.

Project description:The enzymes of the family peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs) have an important role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) due to their association with the anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) production. To evaluate the association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the PADI2 gene and RA susceptibility, related clinical parameters, and the serologic status of autoantibodies in a women population with RA from southern Mexico, a case-control study was conducted (case n=229; control n=333). Sociodemographic characteristics were evaluated, along with clinical parameters, inflammation markers, the levels of ACPAs as anti-cyclic citrullinated peptides (anti-CCPs), anti-modified citrullinated vimentin (anti-MCV), and rheumatoid factor (RF). Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood, and three SNPs of the PADI2 gene (rs1005753, rs2057094, and rs2235926) were performed by qPCR using TaqMan probes. The data analysis reveals that the carriers of the T allele for rs2057094 and rs2235926 presented an earlier onset of the disease (β= -3.26; p = 0.03 and β = -4.13; p = 0.015, respectively) while the carriers of the T allele for rs1005753 presented higher levels of anti-CCPs (β= 68.3; p = 0.015). Additionally, the T allele of rs2235926 was associated with a positive RF (OR = 2.90; p = 0.04), anti-MCV (OR = 2.92; p = 0.05), and with the serologic status anti-CCP+/anti-MCV+ (OR = 3.02; p = 0.03), and anti-CCP+/anti-MCV+/RF+ (OR = 3.79; p = 0.004). The haplotypes GTT (OR =1.52; p = 0.027) and TTT (OR = 1.32; p = 0.025) were associated with the presence of RA. In addition, in this study the haplotype TTT is linked to the presence of radiographic joint damage defined by a Sharp-van der Heijde score (SHS) ≥2 (OR = 1.97; p = 0.0021) and SHS ≥3 (OR = 1.94; p = 0.011). The haplotype TTT of SNPs rs1005753, rs2057094, and rs2235926 of the PADI2 gene confers genetic susceptibility to RA and radiographic joint damage in women from southern Mexico. The evidence reveals that SNPs of the PADI2 gene favors the presence of a positive serologic status in multiple autoantibodies and the clinical manifestations of RA at an early onset age.
