CRP and SAA1 Haplotypes Are Associated with Both C-Reactive Protein and Serum Amyloid A Levels: Role of Suppression Effects.

ABSTRACT: To test the statistical association of the CRP and SAA1 locus variants with their corresponding circulating levels and metabolic and inflammatory biomarker levels by using mediation analysis, a sample population of 599 Taiwanese subjects was enrolled and five CRP and four SAA1 variants were genotyped. Correlation analysis revealed that C-reactive protein (CRP) and serum amyloid A (SAA) levels were significantly associated with multiple metabolic phenotypes and inflammatory marker levels. Our data further revealed a significant association of CRP and SAA1 variants with both CRP and SAA levels. Mediation analysis revealed that SAA levels suppressed the association between SAA1 genotypes/haplotypes and CRP levels and that CRP levels suppressed the association between CRP haplotypes and SAA levels. In conclusion, genetic variants at the CRP and SAA1 loci independently affect both CRP and SAA levels, and their respective circulating levels act as suppressors. These results provided further evidence of the role of the suppression effect in biological science and may partially explain the missing heritability in genetic association studies.

Serum Amyloid A1 (SAA1) Revisited: Restricted Leukocyte-Activating Properties of Homogeneous SAA1.

Project description:Infection, sterile injury, and chronic inflammation trigger the acute phase response in order to re-establish homeostasis. This response includes production of positive acute phase proteins in the liver, such as members of the serum amyloid A (SAA) family. In humans the major acute phase SAAs comprise a group of closely related variants of SAA1 and SAA2. SAA1 was proven to be chemotactic for several leukocyte subtypes through activation of the G protein-coupled receptor FPRL1/FPR2. Several other biological activities of SAA1, such as cytokine induction, reported to be mediated via TLRs, have been debated recently. Especially commercial SAA1, recombinantly produced in Escherichia coli, was found to be contaminated with bacterial products confounding biological assays performed with this rSAA1. We purified rSAA1 by RP-HPLC to homogeneity, removing contaminants such as lipopolysaccharides, lipoproteins and formylated peptides, and re-assessed several biological activities attributed to SAA1 (chemotaxis, cytokine induction, MMP-9 release, ROS generation, and macrophage differentiation). The homogeneous rSAA1 (hrSAA1) lacked most cell-activating properties, but its leukocyte-recruiting capacity in vivo and it's in vitro synergy with other leukocyte attractants remained preserved. Furthermore, hrSAA1 maintained the ability to promote monocyte survival. This indicates that pure hrSAA1 retains its potential to activate FPR2, whereas TLR-mediated effects seem to be related to traces of bacterial TLR ligands in the E. coli-produced human rSAA1.

Circulating serum amyloid A levels but not SAA1 variants predict long-term outcomes of angiographically confirmed coronary artery disease.

Project description:ObjectivesCirculating serum amyloid A (SAA) levels are strongly associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk and severity. The association between SAA1 genetic variants, SAA levels, inflammatory marker levels, and coronary artery disease (CAD) prognosis has not been fully understood.Materials and methodsIn total, 2199 Taiwan Biobank (TWB) participants were enrolled for a genome-wide association study (GWAS), and the long-term outcomes in 481 patients with CAD were analyzed. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality, and the secondary endpoint was the combination of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, stroke, and hospitalization for heart failure.ResultsThrough GWAS, SAA1 rs11024600 and rs7112278 were independently associated with SAA levels (P = 3.84 × 10-145 and P = 1.05 × 10-29, respectively). SAA levels were positively associated with leukocyte counts and multiple inflammatory marker levels in CAD patients and with body mass index, hemoglobin, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and alanine aminotransferase levels in TWB participants. By stepwise linear regression analysis, SAA1 gene variants contributed to 27.53% and 8.07% of the variation of the SAA levels in TWB and CAD populations, respectively, revealing a stronger influence of these two variants in TWB participants compared to CAD patients. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that SAA levels, but not SAA1 gene variants, were associated with long-term outcomes in patients with CAD. Cox regression analysis also indicated that high circulating SAA levels were an independent predictor of both the primary and secondary endpoints.ConclusionSAA1 genotypes contributed significantly to SAA levels in the general population and in patients with CAD. Circulating SAA levels but not SAA1 genetic variants could predict long-term outcomes in patients with angiographically confirmed CAD.

Rs12218 In SAA1 gene was associated with serum lipid levels.

Project description:BackgroundSerum amyloid A (SAA) is a kind of apolipoprotein. Several studies indicated that SAA genetic polymorphism rs12218 was associated with carotid atherosclerosis, peripheral arterial disease, and serum uric acid levels. However, the relation between rs12218 and lipid levels remains unclear. This study assessed the correlation between SAA1 gene rs12218 polymorphism and lipid levels in a Chinese population.MethodsA total of 823 participants were selected from the subjects for health check in Shanghai Huashan hospital from Jan. 2013 to Mach. 2013. Correlations between rs12218 polymorphism and lipid levels were investigated through the identification of rs12218 genotypes using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP).ResultsWe found that the SNP rs12218 was associated with triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) levels by analyses of a dominant model (P<0.001, P=0.002, P=0.003, respectively), a recessive model (P<0.001, P=0.001, P=0.005, respectively) and an additive model (P<0.001, P=0.001, P=0.002, respectively), and the difference remained significant after the adjustment of sex, age, alcohol intake, and smoking (All P<0.01).ConclusionOur results indicated that the rs12218 in the SAA1gene was associated with lipid levels in a Chinese population.

Effect of serum amyloid A1 (SAA1) on gene expression in primary murine macrophages

Project description:Macrophages are important regulators of the immune system and are critically involved in the pathophysiology of many diseases. Serum amlyoidosis is a protein misfolding disease which can follow chronic inflammatory conditions. Deposition of fibrils formed from serum amyloid A1 (SAA1) protein occurs systemically and can lead to severe or even fatal outcomes. Macrophages play a critical role in the misfolding and deposition of SAA1-derived fibrils and the role of macrophages in this context has been studied extensively. It is known that SAA1 can bind to some surface receptors on macrophages and it is taken up by the macrophages and metabolized in the lysosomes. On the other hand, the effect of SAA1 on macrophage physiology has been much less investigated so far. Therefore, we aim to investigate the effect of SAA1 on macrophage gene expression by gene microarray analysis. To this end, primary peritoneal macrophages from NMRI mice were treated with endotoxin-free recombinantly expressed full-length mSAA1 for 6 and 24 h and gene expression was analyzed.

Polymorphisms within the C-reactive protein (CRP) promoter region are associated with plasma CRP levels.

Project description:Elevated plasma levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), an inflammation-sensitive marker, have emerged as an important predictor of future cardiovascular disease and metabolic abnormalities in apparently healthy men and women. Here, we performed a systematic survey of common nucleotide variation across the genomic region encompassing the CRP gene locus. Of the common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) identified, several in the CRP promoter region are strongly associated with CRP levels in a large cohort study of cardiovascular risk in European American and African American young adults. We also demonstrate the functional importance of these SNPs in vitro.

Serum amyloid A1 (SAA1) gene polymorphisms in Japanese patients with adult-onset Still's disease.

Project description:Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a rare systemic inflammatory disorder in which inflammasome activation plays a pathophysiological role. In view of the inflammatory nature of AOSD, we investigated whether serum amyloid A (SAA) gene polymorphisms affect the susceptibility of patients with AOSD.Eighty-seven Japanese patients with AOSD and 200 healthy Japanese subjects were recruited in this study. The genotypes of the -13C/T SNP in the 5'-flanking region of the SAA1 gene (rs12218) and two SNPs within exon 3 of SAA1 (2995C/T and 3010C/T polymorphisms) were determined using polymerase chain reaction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) assay in all subjects. In AOSD patients, exons 1, 2, 3, and 10 of the MEFV gene were also genotyped by direct sequencing.The frequency of the SAA1.3 allele was increased in AOSD patients compared with that in healthy subjects (43.1% versus 37.5%), but the difference was not significant. The -13T allele was more frequently observed in AOSD patients than in healthy subjects (50.6% versus 41.0%, P = .0336). AOSD patients with the -13T allele had been treated with immunosuppressants more frequently than those without this allele. MEFV mutations were detected in 49 patients with AOSD (49/87, 57.3%). AOSD patients with MEFV variants frequently exhibit macrophage activation syndrome, but the difference was not significant (34.7% versus 18.4%, P = .081). Also, there was no significant difference in SAA1 -13C/T allele frequency between AOSD patients with and without MEFV mutations.Our data shows a significant association between T allele of rs12218 and AOSD in Japanese population.

On detection of periodicity in C-reactive protein (CRP) levels.

Project description:C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute-phase plasma protein that can be used as a biomarker for activation of the immune system. A spectral analysis of CRP level over time for patients with gynaecological tumours has been reported by Madondo et al., using a periodogram method, suggesting that there is no significant periodicity in the data. In our study, we investigate the impact of low sample number on periodogram analysis, for non-uniform sampling intervals-we conclude that data of Madondo et al. cannot rule out periodic behaviour. The search for patterns (periodic or otherwise) in the CRP time-series is of interest for providing a cue for the optimal times at which cancer therapies are best administered. In this paper we show (i) there is no evidence to rule out periodicity in CRP levels, and (ii) we provide a prescription for the minimum data sample rate required in future experiments for improved testing of a periodic CRP signal hypothesis. The analysis we provide may be used for establishing periodicity in any short time-series signal that is observed without a priori information.

Differential plasma clearance of murine acute-phase serum amyloid A proteins SAA1 and SAA2.

Project description:Serum amyloid A (SAA) proteins SAA1 and SAA2 are prominent acute-phase reactants which circulate in association with the high-density-lipoprotein (HDL) fraction of plasma. Plasma levels of SAA1 and SAA2 increase dramatically, by as much as 1000-fold, within 24 h of tissue injury and then rapidly decrease with cessation of the inflammatory stimulus, suggesting that SAA clearance and/or catabolism is important to the re-establishment of homoeostasis. In this context, aberrant SAA catabolism has long been considered a potential factor in the pathogenesis of reactive amyloidosis. To initiate studies aimed at understanding the differential regulation of SAA metabolism, we have produced 35S-labelled murine SAA1 and SAA2 in Escherichia coli, bound them individually to HDL, and then compared the plasma-clearance characteristics of SAA1 and SAA2 under normal and acute-phase conditions. When bound to normal HDL, SAA2 [half-life (t1/2) = 30 min] was cleared significantly faster than SAA1 (t1/2 = 75 min). Clearance of SAA1 and SAA2 was significantly slower when each was bound to acute-phase HDL as opposed to normal HDL, when clearance rates were determined in acute-phase mice versus normal mice, and when normal HDL was remodelled to contain both recombinant isotypes rather than just one of the isotypes. Thus it appears that an increased amount of SAA on HDL, or possibly the combined presence of both isotypes on HDL, is associated with a prolongation in the plasma half-life of SAA.

Role of C reactive protein (CRP) in leptin resistance.

Project description:Increased plasma levels of both leptin and C reactive protein (CRP) have been reported in a number of conditions, including obesity, and have been linked to cardiovascular pathophysiological processes and increased cardiovascular risk; interestingly these two biomarkers appear to be able to reciprocally regulate their bioavailability, through complex mechanisms that have not been completely clarified yet. Here we first review clinical evidence suggesting not only that the circulatory levels of CRP and leptin show an independent correlation, but also that assessing them in tandem may result in an increased ability to predict cardiovascular disease. We summarize also molecular studies showing that leptin is able to promote CRP production from hepatocytes and endothelial cells in vitro and discuss the studies addressing the possibility that in vivo leptin administration may be able to modulate plasma CRP levels. Furthermore, we describe two studies demonstrating that CRP directly binds leptin in extra-cellular settings, thus impairing its biological actions. Finally we report genetic evidence that common variations at the leptin receptor locus are associated with CRP blood levels. Overall, the data reviewed here show that the chronic elevation of CRP observed in obese subjects may worsen leptin resistance, contributing to the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease, and highlight a potential link between conditions, such as leptin resistance and endothelial dysfunction, that may be amenable of pharmacological treatment targeted to the disruption of leptin-CRP interaction.
