Interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha and receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa ligand are elevated in hypertrophic gastric mucosa of pachydermoperiostosis.

ABSTRACT: Pachydermoperiostosis (PDP) is a rare inherited multisystem disease characterized with digital clubbing, pachydermia and periostosis. Variants in either HPGD or SLCO2A1 that interrupt the prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) pathway have been shown to be involved in PDP. Here, in addition to six confirmed variants in HPGD or SLCO2A1, we identified four novel SLCO2A1 variants in eight PDP patients from seven Chinese Han families. In addition, gastric mucosa hyperplasia was observed in all affected individuals and interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF?) and receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa ligand (RANKL) expression were elevated in hypertrophic gastric mucosa. Two of eight patients who had severe arthralgia were treated with celecoxib. After three months, their arthralgia was partly relieved and IL-6, TNF? and RANKL expression were decreased in accordance with their relieved hypertrophic gastric mucosa. Our study broadens the variation spectrum of SLCO2A1 and suggests that the gastric mucosa hyperplasia might be a common characteristic of PDP. Moreover, celecoxib would be a considerable choice for PDP patients. We also revealed that IL-6, TNF? and RANKL may play important roles in the molecular mechanisms of gastric mucosa hyperplasia in PDP for the first time.

Pachydermoperiostosis (PDP) is a rare inherited multisystem disease characterized with digital clubbing, pachydermia and periostosis. Variants in either HPGD or SLCO2A1 that interrupt the prostaglandin E2 (PGE<sub>2</sub>) pathway have been shown to be involved in PDP. Here, in addition to six confirmed variants in HPGD or SLCO2A1, we identified four novel SLCO2A1 variants in eight PDP patients from seven Chinese Han families.

Project description:BackgroundThe humoral system is activated and various cytokines are released due to infections in tissues and traumatic damage. Nuclear factor-kappa B dimers are encoded by nuclear factor-kappa B genes and regulate transcription of several crucial proteins of inflammation such as tumour necrosis factor-alpha.AimsTo investigate the possible effect of polymorphisms on tumour necrosis factor-alpha serum levels with clinical and prognostic parameters of sepsis by determining the nuclear factor-kappa B-1-94 ins/del ATTG and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (-308 G/A) gene polymorphisms and tumour necrosis factor-alpha serum levels.Study designCase-control study.MethodsSeventy-two patients with sepsis and 104 healthy controls were included in the study. In order to determine the polymorphisms of nuclear factor-kappa B-1-94 ins/del ATTG and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (-308 G/A), polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis was performed and serum tumour necrosis factor-alpha levels were determined using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.ResultsWe observed no significant differences in tumour necrosis factor-alpha serum levels between the study groups. In the patient group, an increase in the tumour necrosis factor-alpha serum levels in patients carrying the tumour necrosis factor-alpha (-308 G/A) A allele compared to those without the A allele was found to be statistically significant. Additionally, an increase in the tumour necrosis factor-alpha serum levels in patients carrying tumour necrosis factor-alpha (-308 G/A) AA genotype compared with patients carrying the AG or GG genotypes was statistically significant. No significant differences were found in these 2 polymorphisms between the patient and control groups (p>0.05).ConclusionOur results showed the AA genotype and the A allele of the tumour necrosis factor-alpha (-308 G/A) polymorphism may be used as a predictor of elevated tumour necrosis factor-alpha levels in patients with sepsis.

Project description:BackgroundIn this study, we investigated the effect of the mechanical loading history on the expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) in MLO-Y4 osteocyte-like cells.MethodsThree hours after MLO-Y4 osteocytes were seeded, a continuous compressive force (CCF) of 31 dynes/cm2 with or without additional CCF (32 dynes/cm2) was loaded onto the osteocytes. After 36 h, the additional CCF (loading history) was removed for a recovery period of 10 h. The expression of RANKL, OPG, RANKL/OPG ratio, cell numbers, viability and morphology were time-dependently examined at 0, 3, 6 and 10 h. Then, the same additional CCF was applied again for 1 h to all osteocytes with or without the gap junction inhibitor to examine the expression of RANKL, OPG, the RANKL/OPG ratio and other genes that essential to characterize the phenotype of MLO-Y4 cells. Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching technique was also applied to test the differences of gap-junctional intercellular communications (GJIC) among MLO-Y4 cells.ResultsThe expression of RANKL and OPG by MLO-Y4 osteocytes without a loading history was dramatically decreased and increased, respectively, in response to the 1-h loading of additional weight. However, the expression of RANKL, OPG and the RANKL/OPG ratio were maintained at the same level as in the control group in the MLO-Y4 osteocytes with a loading history but without gap junction inhibitor treatment. Treatment of loading history significantly changed the capacity of GJIC and protein expression of connexin 43 (Cx43) but not the mRNA expression of Cx43. No significant difference was observed in the cell number or viability between the MLO-Y4 osteocyte-like cells with and without a loading history or among different time checkpoints during the recovery period. The cell morphology showed significant changes and was correlated with the expression of OPG, Gja1 and Dmp1 during the recovery period.ConclusionOur findings indicated that the compressive force-induced changes in the RANKL/OPG expression could be habituated within at least 11 h by 36-h CCF exposure. GJIC and cell morphology may play roles in response to loading history in MLO-Y4 osteocyte-like cells.
