Gene-gene interactions between TGF-?/Smad3 signalling pathway polymorphisms affect susceptibility to knee osteoarthritis.

ABSTRACT: Transforming growth factor/Smad family member 3 (TGF)-?/Smad3 signalling is essential for maintaining articular cartilage. A relationship between the genetic variants of TGF-? itself, TGF-? signalling and binding molecules, and osteoarthritis (OA) has been reported. Although variants of candidate genes have become prime targets for genetic analysis, their detailed interplay has not been documented. Our goal was to establish whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of TGF-?1, TGF-?RI, Smad3 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 3 (TIMP3), and their interactions, are associated with knee OA.We performed a case-control association study and genotyped 518 knee patients with OA and 468 healthy controls. All participants were genotyped for TGF-?1 (rs1800469C/T), TGF-?RI (rs1590A/G), Smad3 (rs12901499A/G and rs6494629T/C), and TIMP3 (rs715572G/A and rs1962223G/C) polymorphisms by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. Multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) was used to identify gene-gene interactions.Significant associations were observed for TIMP3 rs715572G/A polymorphisms in knee patients with OA and healthy individuals. The GA heterozygote in TIMP3 (rs715572G/A) was significantly associated with OA (p=0.007). Patient stratification using the Kellgren-Lawrence grading scale showed significant differences in TIMP3 rs715572G/A genotypes between grade 4 knee OA and controls. By MDR analysis, a two-locus model (Smad3 rs6494629T/C and TIMP3 rs715572G/A) of gene-gene interaction was the best for predicting knee OA risk, and its maximum testing accuracy was 57.55% and maximum cross-validation consistency was 10/10.TIMP3 rs715572G/A is a candidate protective gene for severe knee OA. Gene-gene interactions between Smad3 rs6494629T/C and TIMP3 rs715572G/A polymorphisms may play more important protective roles in knee OA.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:The role of genetic factors influencing osteoarthritis (OA) susceptibility is well documented and several candidate genes have been identified to be associated with it. Among these genes are Bone Morphogenetic Protein 5 (BMP5) and Smad family member 3 (SMAD3), all involved in Transforming Growth Factor (TGF) signaling pathway. The knee is the commonly affected joint, and knee OA has an especially high prevalence in Asian population. AIM:To investigate associations between Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) rs12901499 in SMAD3 and rs921126 in the BMP5 gene with knee OA susceptibility in and around Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India. MATERIALS AND METHODS:SNPs rs12901499 in SMAD3 and rs921126 in BMP5 were genotyped in patients with knee OA and age- sex matched OA-free controls from our population. A total of 450 patients with knee OA and 458 controls were enrolled in the study. Venous blood samples were obtained from all cases as well as controls for PCR-RFLP (Polymerase Chain Reaction- Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism). Data was collected and entered in excel sheets. Statistical analyses of the data were performed using statistical software package SPSS version 16.0. Chi-square, Student's t-test and logistic regression tests were used to analyse the data. RESULTS:GA and GG genotypes of both SNPs (rs12901499 and rs921126), and variant G, were associated with a significantly increased risk of knee OA. A significantly increased risk of knee OA was associated with the genotype GG and GA of rs12901499 (p < 0.03 and p <0.004 respectively) and rs921126 (p< 0.0001 and p<0.001 respectively) compared with the AA genotype. In addition, those bearing at least one G allele (GG + GA) had a significantly increased risk of knee OA compared with those without the G allele (AA) in rs921126 (p< 0.0001). However, in rs12901499, significant association with the risk of knee OA was not found (p<0.4). On age and gender based stratification, the association between the risk of OA and rs921126 GG mutant compared with AA homozygotes was strong in both gender (adjusted OR= 2.93 for male and 2.25 for female) and in those aged >55 years (adjusted OR= 3.4), similarly in rs12901499, GG mutant compared with AA homozygote was strong in female (adjusted OR= 1.5) and in those aged >55 years (adjusted OR= 1.5). CONCLUSION:The results showed that both in SMAD3 rs12901499 and BMP5 921126, G allele is significantly associated with knee OA. A to G change and variant G genotype may contribute to knee OA risk in our study population of Lucknow.
