Project description:ObjectivesMUTYH glycosylase involved in DNA repair pathways may be associated with the risk of autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Therefore, the association between polymorphisms in the MUTYH gene and RA was evaluated.MethodsWe recruited 192 RA patients and 192 healthy subjects in Taiwan. The 4 MUTYH polymorphisms (rs3219463, rs3219476, rs3219489, and rs3219493) were detected and haplotype analysis was performed using the Bayesian method. The genotype and allelic frequency distributions of the polymorphisms in both RA patients and healthy patients were compared by the chi-square test.ResultsComparison of the genotype/allele frequencies between individuals with RA and the control groups revealed significant differences in 2 MUTYH gene polymorphisms, rs3219463 and rs3219476. After we performed a haplotype-specific analysis, the haplotypes Ht6-GTGC and Ht8-GGCG had lower presenting rates in RA patients than in the control groups. Furthermore, the genotype frequency of rs3219463 G/ was significantly increased among patients with immunoglobulin M rheumatoid factors, whereas that of rs3219476 was not.ConclusionWe demonstrated that the rs3219463 and rs3219476 polymorphisms in RA patients from a Taiwan Chinese population were associated with disease susceptibility. These data indicate that the MUTYH gene may play a role in the progression of RA.

Project description:Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a progressive and common autoimmune disease with multifactorial etiology. Several pieces of research show that genetic factors play a major role in the incidence of RA. Several genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified the tumor necrosis factor alpha inducible protein 3 (TNFAIP3) genes as one of the candidate loci. The TNFAIP3 gene encoding ubiquitin-editing protein A20 witch restricts B cell survival and prevents autoimmunity. Previous studies have indicated that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the TNFAIP3 gene are correlated with several autoimmune disorders. In the present study, we assessed the possible association between SNP rs5029937 (intronic variant) in the TNFAIP3 gene with RA risk in the Iranian population. Methods: A case-control study using 50 RA patients and 50 control subjects was undertaken to evaluate rs5029937 (G>T) genotypes using real-time PCR high resolution melting method (HRM). The SPSS22 was used for statistical analyses and the significance level was set at P<0.05. Results: Logistic regression analysis demonstrates that homozygous TT + heterozygous TG genotypes compared with GG genotype increase the risk of RA (TT+TG vs GG; P= 0.004, OR= 3.46; 95%CI [1.492-8.075]). Also, individuals with allele T were more frequently affected with RA than subjects with G allele (T vs G; P= 0.004, OR= 2.61; 95%CI [1.382-4.919]). Conclusion: Our findings propose a substantial correlation between rs5029937 (G>T) polymorphism and RA risk in Iranian population.

Project description:Interleukin-21 (IL-21) is a cytokine that plays a crucial role in pathogenesis and activity of the rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Meanwhile, genetic polymorphisms in the IL-21 gene may alter its expression. Previous studies have reported conflicting results assessing the association between the IL-21 rs6822844 G/T polymorphism and RA risk. Thus, it's necessary to perform a meta-analysis to definite above relationship. PubMed database was searched for all papers published until October 20, 2019. Nine case-control studies with 9998 cases and 10742 controls were retrieved based on the search criteria at last. Odds ratio (95% confidence interval) was used to calculate the strength of this association. Publication bias was detected using both Begg's and Egger's tests. Overall, the IL-21 rs6822844 G/T polymorphism was found to be significantly associated with decreased RA risk (e.g. T-allele versus G-allele: OR = 0.81, 95% CI = 0.72-0.91, P < 0.001). In addition, decreased RA risk was also detected both in Asians (eg: TT+TG versus GG: OR = 0.42, 95% CI = 0.31-0.56, P < 0.001) and Caucasians (eg: TT+TG versus GG: OR = 0.85, 95% CI = 0.80-0.91, P < 0.001). A similar trend in association was found in the source of the control and genotype method subgroups. Furthermore, subgroup analysis of rheumatoid factor status revealed a protective relationship between the IL-21 rs6822844 G/T polymorphism and RF+/RF- RA risk. A similar relationship was noted in the anti-citrullinated protein antibody status subgroup. The results of the present study suggest that the IL-21 rs6822844 G/T polymorphism was significantly associated with decreased RA susceptibility.

Project description:ObjectivesInflammation and angiogenesis are a significant element of pathogenesis in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The FLT-1- triggering factor for production of proinflammatory cytokines-might contributes to inflammation in patients with RA. Association of the FLT-1 polymorphisms with different "angiogenic diseases" suggests that it may be a novel genetic risk factor also for RA. The aim of the study was to identify FLT-1 genetic variants and their possible association with sFLT-1 levels, susceptibility to and severity of RA.MethodsThe FLT-1 gene polymorphisms were genotyped for 471 RA patients and 684 healthy individuals. Correlation analysis was performed with clinical parameters, cardiovascular disease (CVD) and anti-citrullinated peptide/protein antibody (ACPA) presence. The sFLT-1 serum levels were evaluated.ResultsThe FLT-1 gene polymorphisms showed no significant differences in the proportion of cases and controls. Furthermore, the FLT-1 rs2296188 T/C polymorphism was associated with ACPA-positive RA. Overall, rs9943922 T/C and rs2296283 G/A are in almost completed linkage disequilibrium (LD) with D' = 0.97 and r2 = 0.83. The FLT-1 rs7324510 A allele has shown association with VAS score (p = 0.035), DAS-28 score (p = 0.013) and ExRA presence (p = 0.027). Moreover, other clinical parameters were also higher in RA patients with this allele. In addition, FLT-1 genetic variants conferred higher sFLT-1 levels in RA patients compared to controls.ConclusionFLT-1 rs7324510 C/A variant may be a new genetic risk factor for severity of RA. Examined factor highly predispose to more severe disease activity as well as higher sFLT-1 levels in RA.

Project description:ObjectiveThis study examined the role of SNP rs2858056 of the MPG gene on the incidence and severity of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).MethodsThis cohort study enrolled 365 RA patients and 375 age- and gender-matched healthy controls, all of whom had Han Chinese ethnicity and were from Taiwan. Gene polymorphism of the SNP rs2858056 of MPG was determined from genomic DNA. Allelic frequencies and genotypes were compared among cases and controls. Quantitation of rs2858056 copy number variation (CNV) was determined. Serum samples from RA patients and controls were analyzed to determine serum levels of MPG. The relationship between rs2858056 polymorphism and clinical manifestations of RA was evaluated.ResultsOur results indicated a statistically significant difference in genotype frequency distributions at rs2858056 for RA patients and controls (p = 0.05) and a significant difference in allelic frequency in patients and controls (p = 0.04). Furthermore, there was a significantly greater level of serum MPG protein in patients than controls (p < 0.001). However, the cases and controls had no significant differences in MPG CNV (p = 0.12). We also did not detect any association of the MPG rs2858056 with rheumatoid factor (RF), extraarticular involvement, or bone erosion in the RA patients.ConclusionOur study suggests that RA is associated with a polymorphism in the MPG gene (rs2858056) and increased serum level of the MPG protein.

Project description:Cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) gene polymorphisms may be involved in the risk of Rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, evidence for the association remains controversial. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to confirm the relationship between CTLA-4 gene polymorphisms and RA. The pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to assess the strength of association. Stratified analysis was conducted by ethnicity. In total, 66 case-control studies including 21681 cases and 23457 controls were obtained. For rs3087243 polymorphism, significant association was detected in Asians (A vs. G: OR=0.77, 95%CI=0.65-0.90, P=0.001; AA vs. GG: OR=0.67, 95%CI=0.48-0.94, P=0.02) and Caucasians (A vs. G: OR=0.89, 95%CI=0.86-0.93, P<0.00001; AA vs. GG: OR=0.81, 95%CI=0.75-0.88, P<0.00001). For rs231775 polymorphism, significant association was observed in the overall (G vs. A: OR =1.16, 95%CI=1.08-1.25, P<0.0001; GG vs. AA: OR=1.29, 95%CI=1.12-1.50, P=0.0006), and in Asians (G vs. A: OR=1.27, 95%CI=1.10-1.47, P=0.001; GG vs. AA: OR=1.58, 95%CI=1.24-2.01, P=0.0002), but not in Caucasians. However, there was no association between rs5742909 polymorphism and RA. This meta-analysis confirmed that rs3087243 and rs231775 polymorphism were associated with the risk of RA in both overall population and ethnic-specific analysis, but there was no association between rs5742909 polymorphism and RA risk.

Project description:ObjectivesThe aim of our study was to investigate the association of single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and mRNA expression profile of single immunoglobulin IL-1-related receptor (SIGIRR) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in a Chinese population.MethodsSIGIRR rs7396562 polymorphism was genotyped using TaqMan allelic discrimination assay in 517 RA patients and 601 healthy controls. Simultaneously, the SIGIRR mRNA expression levels of 79 RA patients and 76 healthy controls were examined by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR).ResultsThe frequency of SIGIRR rs7396562 T allele was significantly higher in RA patients compared with healthy controls (T versus G: OR = 1.277, 95%CI = 1.079 - 1.511, P = 0.004). The TT genotype of SIGIRR rs7396562 was more frequent in RA patients than in healthy controls (OR = 1.547, 95%CI = 1.107 - 2.163, P = 0.011). Moreover, we also found a significant difference in the recessive model (TT versus TG+GG: OR = 1.439, 95%CI = 1.122 - 1.847, P = 0.004). However, no significant evidence was observed for the association of the SIGIRR rs7396562 with RA in dominant model (TT+TG versus GG: OR = 1.275, 95%CI = 0.947 - 1.717, P = 0.109). Further analysis showed no association between SIGIRR rs7396562 polymorphism and laboratory parameters of RA patients (all P > 0.05). The mRNA expression of SIGIRR was decreased in PBMCs of patients with RA when compared to healthy controls (Z = -2.459, P = 0.014). No significant differences in SIGIRR mRNA expression levels were observed in patients with RA with different genotypes (P = 0.280).ConclusionsOur findings demonstrated that the dysregulation of SIGIRR might be associated with the pathogenesis of RA, and SIGIRR rs7396562 polymorphism might contribute to RA susceptibility in the Chinese population.

Project description:Polymorphism in the neuropeptide S receptor gene NPSR1 is associated with asthma and inflammatory bowel disease. NPSR1 is expressed in the brain, where it modulates anxiety and responses to stress, but also in other tissues and cell types including lymphocytes, the lungs, and the intestine, where it appears to be up-regulated in inflammation. We sought to determine whether genetic variability at the NPSR1 locus influences the susceptibility and clinical manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).From the Epidemiological Investigation of Rheumatoid Arthritis (EIRA) case-control study, 1,888 rheumatoid arthritis patients and 888 controls were genotyped for 19 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) spanning the entire NPSR1 gene and 220 KB of DNA on chromosome 7p14. The association between individual genetic markers and their haplotypic combinations, respectively, and diagnosis of RA, presence of autoantibodies to citrullinated proteins (ACPA), and disease activity score based on 28 joints (DAS28) was tested. There was no association between diagnosis of RA and NPSR1 variants. However, several associations of nominal significance were detected concerning susceptibility to ACPA-negative RA and disease activity measures (DAS28). Among these, the association of SNP rs324987 with ACPA-negative RA [(p=0.004, OR=0.674 (95% CI 0.512-0.888)] and that of SNP rs10263447 with DAS28 [p=0.0002, OR=0.380 (95% CI 0.227-0.635)] remained significant after correction for multiple comparisons.NPSR1 polymorphism may be relevant to RA susceptibility and its clinical manifestation. Specific alleles at the NPSR1 locus may represent common risk factors for chronic inflammatory diseases, including RA.

Project description:Controversial results concerning the association between a polymorphism rs6822844 in the interleukin (IL) 21 (IL-21) gene and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have existed. A meta-analysis to confirm above relationships is necessary to be performed immediately. We conducted a search in the PubMed database, covering all papers published up to 20 October 2018. Overall, six case-control studies with 3244 cases and 3431 healthy controls were included. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the strength of this association. Publication bias was assessed with both Egger's and Begg's tests. After calculation, we found that IL-21 rs6822844 polymorphism could decrease RA risk in overall genetic models (allelic contrast: OR = 0.77, 95% CI = 0.62-0.97, P=0.024; TG versus GG: OR = 0.68, 95% CI = 0.50-0.92, P=0.013, and dominant genetic model: OR = 0.72, 95% CI = 0.55-0.94, P=0.016). Similarly, stratified analysis by race, source of control, significantly decreased association was found in Asians, Caucasians and hospital-based (HB) control source. Finally, in the subgroup analysis of rheumatoid factor (RF) and anti-citrullinated protein antibody (ACPA) status, poorly decreased relationship was detected between IL-21 rs6822844 polymorphism and RF negative and ACPA positive RA risk, respectively. No obvious evidence of publication bias was detected in overall analysis. In summary, our study indicated that IL-21 rs6822844 polymorphism was significantly associated with decreased RA susceptibility.

Project description:Several studies addressed the association of autoimmune regulator (AIRE) gene polymorphism with the risk of rheumatoid arthritis (RA); however, their conclusions were inconsistent. For better investigating the effects of this polymorphism on the risk of RA, we conducted this study to evaluate the role of AIRE rs2075786 polymorphism in the risk of RA. Four eligible studies involving 6,755 cases and 7,970 controls were identified by searching the databases of PubMed, CNKI and EMBASE up to February 2017. Our study revealed that AIRE rs2075786 polymorphism was associated with an increased risk of RA under all genetic models. In the subgroup analysis, AIRE rs2075786 polymorphism contributed to RA susceptibility among Asians, but not among Caucasians. To summarize,, this meta-analysis confirms that AIRE rs2075786 polymorphism may play a significant role in increasing the risk of RA. Stratification analysis by ethnicity reveals that AIRE rs2075786 polymorphism is associated with an increased risk of RA among Asians, but not among Caucasians. These findings need further validation in the large multicenter case-control studies.
