Gene-environment interaction between body mass index and transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF?1) gene in knee and hip osteoarthritis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The objective was to investigate potential gene-environment interaction between body mass index (BMI) and each of eight TGF?1 polymorphisms in knee and hip osteoarthritis (OA).

Methods

We conducted a case-control study of Caucasian men and women aged 45 to 86 years from Nottingham, United Kingdom (Genetics of OA and Lifestyle (GOAL) study). Cases had clinically severe symptoms and radiographic knee or hip OA; controls had no symptoms and no radiographic knee/hip OA. We used logistic regression to investigate the association of TGF?1 polymorphisms and OA when stratifying by BMI. Knee and hip OA were analyzed separately with adjustment for potential confounders. Additive and multiplicative interactions were examined.

Results

2,048 cases (1,042 knee OA, 1,006 hip OA) and 967 controls were studied. For hip OA, the highest risk was in overweight (BMI ? 25 kg/m2) individuals with the variant allele of single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs1800468 (odds ratio (OR) 2.21, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.55, 3.15). Evaluation of gene-environment interaction indicated significant synergetic interaction (relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI) = 0.93, synergy index (SI) = 4.33) with an attributable proportion due to interaction (AP) of 42% (AP = 0.42; 95% CI 0.16, 0.68). Multiplicative interaction was also significant (OR for interaction (ORINT) = 2.27, P = 0.015). For knee OA, the highest risk was in overweight individuals with homozygous genotype 11 of SNP rs2278422 (OR = 6.95, P <0.001). In contrast, the variant allele indicated slightly lower risks (OR = 4.72, P <0.001), a significant antagonistic interaction (RERI = -2.66, SI = 0.59), AP = -0.56 (95%CI -0.94, -0.17) and a significant multiplicative interaction (ORINT = 0.47, P = 0.013).

Conclusion

TGF?1 gene polymorphisms interact with being overweight to influence the risk of large joint OA.

Project description:BackgroundIncrease body mass index (BMI) is often accompanied by metabolic diseases such as diabetes, which will increase the uncertainty of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) efficacy and the risk of postoperative complications. The present study was to study the relationship between increase BMI and clinical efficacy of knee arthroplasty in patients with knee osteoarthritis.MethodsA total of 97 patients (36 males and 61 females) with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) who underwent TKA surgery were selected. According to the preoperative body mass index (BMI), the patients were divided into a normal group (n=42), overweight group (n=35), and obese group (n=20). All patients received TKA after admission. Seven days after surgery, the American Knee Society (AKS) and the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) scales were used to evaluate the recovery of knee function. The recovery was poor if the scores of AKS and HSS were less than 70.ResultsSeven days after TKA, the scores of AKS and HSS in different BMI groups were significantly different, and decreased with the increase of BMI (P<0.05). Age, increased BMI, diabetes, preoperative range of motion (ROM), intraoperative blood loss, postoperative C-reactive protein (CRP), postoperative posterior slope angle (PSA), postoperative infection, and postoperative deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of lower extremities were related to AKS score <70 (P<0.05). Diabetes, preoperative ROM, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative CRP, postoperative PSA, and postoperative infection were related to HSS score <70 (P<0.05). Increased BMI, diabetes, postoperative CRP, postoperative infection, and postoperative DVT were independent risk factors for AKS score <70 (HR =3.458, 1.152, 2.960, 1.023, 3.589, P<0.05). Increased BMI, diabetes, postoperative CRP, and postoperative infection were independent risk factors for HSS score <70 (HR =6.891, 1.263, 1.967, 1.235, P<1.235). The area under the curve (AUC) (95% CI) of BMI in diagnosing AKS <70 was 0.740 (0.641-0.839). The AUC (95% CI) of BMI in diagnosing HSS <70 was 0.809 (0.723-0.894).ConclusionsThe increase of BMI is an independent risk factor for the poor recovery of knee function after TKA in patients with KOA.

Project description:BackgroundDietary fiber reduces body weight and inflammation in clinical trials. It is unclear whether body mass index (BMI) and inflammation might explain the observed association between higher fiber intake and the lower risk of symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (SXKOA).ObjectivesWe quantified the extent to which BMI and inflammation influenced the relation between dietary fiber and SXKOA.MethodsWe used longitudinal data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI) and the Framingham Offspring Osteoarthritis Study. At baseline of each study, men and women (mean age: 61 y) with or at risk of knee osteoarthritis were followed for 48 mo in the OAI. Adults (mean age: 53 y) were followed for 9.5 y in the Framingham study. Dietary fiber intake was estimated using a validated food-frequency questionnaire. Measured weight and height were used to calculate BMI. Serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP) was measured in the Framingham study only. Incident SXKOA was defined as new onset of a combination of knee pain and radiographic osteoarthritis. We applied marginal structural models to quantify the mediation through BMI in the OAI and the sequential mediation through BMI and CRP in the Framingham study.ResultsIncident SXKOA occurred in 861 knees among 2876 persons in the OAI and in 143 knees among 971 persons in the Framingham study. In persons whose fiber intake was ≥21 g/d compared with those with intakes <21 g/d, the OR (95% CI) was 0.70 (0.53, 0.91) for the overall association with SXKOA and was 0.93 (0.92, 0.95) for the mediation via BMI (per kg/m2) in the OAI. In the Framingham study, the overall association was 0.57 (0.30, 1.09), the mediation through BMI (via BMI and the influence of BMI on CRP) was 0.94 (0.85, 1.02), and the mediation through CRP (per milligram per liter) was 0.99 (0.84, 1.19).ConclusionOur findings suggest that the inverse association of fiber intake and the risk of incident symptomatic knee osteoarthritis is partially mediated by BMI.
