Association among cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 gene, rs231775 polymorphism, and recurrent pregnancy loss risk.

ABSTRACT: Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) is expressed constitutively on regulatory T cells. So far, several studies have focused on association between CTLA-4 gene polymorphisms and recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). However, above association between the CTLA-4 gene polymorphism and RPL susceptibility is uncertain. Therefore, we performed a timely meta-analysis of all current publications to clarify this relationship. We located articles from the PubMed and Chinese language (WanFang) databases that were published up until July 25, 2018. Finally, we obtained six case-control studies, containing 2405 total cases and 2607 total controls, based on search criteria for abortion susceptibility related to the CTLA-4 +49 G/A polymorphism. The odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) revealed association strengths. There was significantly decreased association between this polymorphism and whole population risk (e.g. AA vs. GG: OR = 0.56, 95% CI = 0.38-0.81, P=0.002). Additionally, in ethnicity subgroups, similar association was found both in China (e.g. AA vs. GG: OR = 0.49, 95% CI = 0.39-0.63, P=0.002) and non-China (e.g. AG vs. GG: OR = 0.46, 95% CI = 0.34-0.63, P<0.001). Current analysis suggested CTLA-4 +49 G/A polymorphism may weakly decrease RPL risk for women of childbearing age.

Impact of the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated antigen-4 rs231775 A/G polymorphism on cancer risk.

Project description:BackgroundCytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4) is an immunosuppressive checkpoint that is involved in the development and metastasis of cancers. Several studies revealed that CTLA-4 rs231775A/G polymorphism may be associated with the risk of cancer in some populations, but the conclusions of these studies are not consistent.MethodsWe conducted a pooled analysis with eligible studies to explore the association between the CTLA-4 rs231775 variant and cancer risk. Additionally, we used in silico tools to evaluated the expression of CTLA-4 on urinary system cancer. Moreover, we adopted the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) to investigate the effects of CTLA-4 on bladder cancer (BLCA).ResultsIn total, 92 case-control studies involving 29,987 patients with cancer and 36,484 healthy individuals (controls) were included in the pooled analysis. In the stratified analysis based on cancer type, the rs231775 A/G polymorphism was associated with increased bladder cancer risk in the heterozygote contrast model (OR = 1.23, 95% CI = 1.01-1.51, P = 0.040). The race-stratified analysis revealed that East Asians with the GG genotype had a 12% lower risk of developing cancer than those with the GA + AA genotype (95% CI = 0.81-0.95, P = 0.001). The in silico analysis showed that CTLA-4 expression was augmented in patients with BLCA. The ELISA results revealed that CTLA-4 expression was reduced in patients with BLCA carrying the AA genotype. Several signaling pathways, including cytokine-cytokine receptor interactions and T-cell receptor signaling, were associated with CTLA-4 expression.ConclusionThe CTLA-4 rs231775 A/G polymorphism is associated with cancer risk in East Asian population. This polymorphism is especially associated with BLCA.

Association between the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4-318C/T polymorphism and malignant tumor risk.

Project description:The cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) polymorphic loci -318 cytosine/thymine (-318C/T) has been previously implicated in malignant tumor susceptibility. However, there were no precise conclusions about the correlation, the results from published studies were inconclusive. The aim of the current meta-analysis was to investigate the associations between CTLA-4 -318C/T polymorphisms and risk of malignant tumors in Asian population. We conducted a search in PubMed, Embase, the Chinese Journals Full-Text Database, Chinese Biomedical Database, and the Wanfang database. All studies were published up to September 30, 2015. Two reviewers analysed the data independently. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the association. In total, 20 case-controlled studies with 3,539 cases and 4,690 controls were included in the final meta-analysis. The overall estimation demonstrated a significant association between CTLA-4 -318C/T polymorphism and malignant tumor risk in the Asian populations (TT+TC vs. CC: OR, 1.28; 95% CI, 1.07-1.53. TT vs. TC+CC: OR, 1.43; 95% CI, 1.03-1.99; TT vs. CC: OR, 1.51; 95% CI, 1.09-2.10. TC vs. CC: OR, 1.26; 95% CI, 1.06-1.50. T vs. C: OR, 1.25, 95% CI, 1.05-1.47). In the subgroup analysis by countries, we found that the dominant model (TT+TC vs. CC) revealed an increased risk of developing malignant tumors in the Chinese study population (OR, 1.41; 95% CI, 1.13-1.76), but no association was demonstrated in the other countries. The current meta-analysis suggests that CTLA-4 -318C/T polymorphism is significantly associated with the risk of malignance tumors in Asian populations, especially in those from China. Further studies for additional Asian countries are required to further evaluate the association.

Association of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 polymorphisms with recurrent pregnancy loss: A case-control study.

Project description:BackgroundA large proportion of cases of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) are associated with immunological factors.ObjectiveThis study investigated the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein (CTLA)-4 gene in women with a history of RPL compared to healthy women.Materials and methodsA case-control study was performed on 2 groups consisting of 120 healthy women with no history of abortion and at least one delivery (control) and 120 women with a history of 2 or more primary RPLs (case). In addition, 5 mL of peripheral blood sample was taken from all subjects. The frequencies of CTLA-4 rs3087243 and rs231775 polymorphisms were assayed by restriction fragment length polymorphism polymerase chain reaction and rs5742909 using the high-resolution melting real-time polymerase chain reaction method.ResultsThe mean age of the women in the control and RPL groups were 30.03 ± 4.23 (range 21-37), and 28.64 ± 3.61 yr (range 20-35), respectively. Pregnancy loss numbers ranged between 2-6 in women with a history of RPL, and between 1 and 4 in the successful pregnancy group. Statistical analysis showed a significant difference between the genotypes of GG and AG in the 2 groups in rs3087243 polymorphism (OR 1.00 for GG genotype and OR 2.87 for AG genotype, p = 0.0043). No significant difference was observed in the genotype frequencies of rs231775 and rs5742909 polymorphisms, of the 2 groups (p = 0.37, and p = 0.095), respectively.ConclusionOur findings indicated that CTLA-4 polymorphism, rs3087243, might be associated with a risk of RPL in Iranian women.

Association between rs3087243 and rs231775 polymorphism within the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 gene and Graves' disease: a case/control study combined with meta-analyses.

Project description:We conducted a case/control study to assess the impact of SNP rs3087243 and rs231775 within the CTLA4 gene, on the susceptibility to Graves' disease (GD) in a Chinese Han dataset (271 cases and 298 controls). The frequency of G allele for rs3087243 and rs231775 was observed to be significantly higher in subjects with GD than in control subjects (p = 0.005 and p = 0.000, respectively). After logistic regression analysis, a significant association was detected between SNP rs3087243 and GD in the additive and recessive models. Similarly, association for the SNP rs231775 could also be detected in the additive model, dominant model and recessive model. A meta-analysis, including 27 published datasets along with the current dataset, was performed to further confirm the association. Consistent with our case/control results, rs3087243 and rs231775 showed a significant association with GD in all genetic models. Of note, ethnic stratification revealed that these two SNPs were associated with susceptibility to GD in populations of both Asian and European descent. In conclusion, our data support that the rs3087243 and rs231775 polymorphisms within the CTLA4 gene confer genetic susceptibility to GD.

Association between Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) +49 G>A (rs231775) polymorphism and esophageal cancer: from a case-control study to a meta-analysis.

Project description:The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between CTLA-4 +49 G>A polymorphism and esophageal cancer (EC) susceptibility in a hospital based case-control study and a subsequent meta-analysis. We implemented genotyping analyses for CTLA-4 +49 G>A polymorphism with 629 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cases and 686 controls in a Chinese Han population. Polymerase chain reaction ligase detection reaction (PCR-LDR) method was used to identify genotypes of CTLA-4 +49 G>A polymorphism. We first assessed the association between CTLA-4 +49 G>A polymorphism and EC risk in a hospital based case-control study, and then performed a comprehensive meta-analysis to derive a more precise estimation. Our results demonstrated that CTLA-4 +49 G>A polymorphism was not associated with EC risk. This case-control study and further meta-analysis, failed to identify the association between CTLA-4 +49 G>A polymorphism and EC risk. And additional, further well designed studies with large sample sizes and detailed gene-environment data are required.

Association between cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 +49A/G polymorphism and colorectal cancer risk: a meta-analysis.

Project description:The Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte Antigen-4 (CTLA-4) gene has been implicated in the development of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the results are inconsistent. In this study, we performed a meta-analysis to assess the associations between the CTLA-4 +49A/G polymorphism and risk of CRC. Relevant studies were identified using PubMed, Web of Science, CNKI and WanFang databases up to November 10, 2014. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the strength of the association using the fixed or random effect model. A total of 8 case-control studies, including 1180 cases and 2110 controls, were included. Overall, a significant association between the CTLA-4 +49A/G polymorphism and CRC risk was found (dominant model: OR=1.63, 95% CI: 1.09-2.43; AG vs. AA: OR=1.69, 95% CI: 1.15-2.48). In the subgroup analysis by ethnicity, we observed a significant association in Asian descent (dominant model: OR=2.42, 95% CI: 1.40-4.16; AG vs. AA: OR=2.39, 95% CI: 1.52-3.76), but not among Europeans; when stratified by source of control, no significant association was detected in both population-based and hospital-based populations. This meta-analysis demonstrated that the CTLA-4 +49A/G polymorphism significantly increases the risk of CRC, especially for Asians.

Comprehensive Analysis of 29,464 Cancer Cases and 35,858 Controls to Investigate the Effect of the Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte Antigen 4 Gene rs231775 A/G Polymorphism on Cancer Risk.

Project description:In our previous studies, we found that the rs231775 polymorphism of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) is associated with risks of different cancer types; however, the association remains controversial and ambiguous, so we conducted an in-depth meta-analysis to verify the association. A complete search of the PubMed, Google Scholar, Embase, Chinese databases, and Web of Science was conducted without regard to language limitations, covering all publications since November 20, 2021. The search criteria for cancer susceptibility associated with the polymorphism in the CTLA-4 gene rs231775 resulted in 87 case-control studies with 29,464 cases and 35,858 controls. The association strength was analyzed using odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. Overall, we found that the CTLA-4 rs231775 polymorphism may reduce cancer risk. A stratified cancer type analysis showed that CTLA-4 rs231775 polymorphism was a risk factor for colorectal cancer and thyroid cancer; on the other hand, it was a protective factor for breast cancer, liver cancer, cervical cancer, bone cancer, head and neck, and pancreatic cancer. We also classified cancer into five systems and observed an increased association with digestive tract cancer, decreased associations with orthopedic tumors, tumors of the urinary system, and gynecological tumors. In the subgroup based on race, decreased relationships were observed in both Asians and Caucasians. The same decreased association was also shown in the analysis of the source of control analysis. Our present study indicates that the CTLA-4 rs231775 polymorphism contributes to cancer development and aggression.

Association between ANXA5 haplotypes and the risk of recurrent pregnancy loss.

Project description:BackgroundAnnexin A5 (ANXA5) haplotypes can increase the risk of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). This study aimed to investigate the effect of ANXA5 haplotypes on ANXA5 expression in patients with RPL.MethodsFemale subjects with RPL, parous controls (those who intentionally aborted without medical conditions or complications), and population controls (normal delivery) were studied. Real-time polymerase chain reaction was carried out to evaluate ANXA5 expression in the placenta and peripheral blood. Western blotting and immunohistochemistry were used to assess ANXA5 protein expression. The luciferase assay was performed to detect the effect of M1 and M2 haplotypes on transcription efficiency of the ANXA5 promoter.ResultsWe found that the percentage of the M2 carrier was highest in the RPL group. ANXA5 expression in the placenta and peripheral blood in subjects with RPL was significantly inhibited. Furthermore, ANXA5 expression in subjects carrying the M2 haplotype was remarkably suppressed compared with that in carriers of other haplotypes. Finally, the M2 haplotype decreased the transcription efficiency of the ANXA5 promoter.ConclusionOur findings show that ANXA5 expression is decreased in carriers of the M2 haplotype and that M1/M2 haplotypes in the ANXA5 gene are associated with an increased risk of RPL.

Association of progesterone receptor polymorphism with idiopathic recurrent pregnancy loss in Taiwanese Han population.

Project description:PurposeRecurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) could be caused by insufficient progesterone in the luteal phase of menstruation and early pregnancy. Progesterone plays a critical role in oocyte maturation, embryo implantation and placenta maintenance in early gestation. This study was set out to investigate the association between polymorphisms of the progesterone receptor (PGR) gene and idiopathic RPL.MethodsOne hundred twenty-one women with a history of idiopathic recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) and 179 control subjects were enrolled into the study. Six tag SNPs and two functional SNPs [PROGINS (rs1042838), +331 C/T (rs10895068)] of the progesterone receptor gene were genotyped.ResultsWe found that the allele and genotype frequencies of the functional SNP [PROGINS (rs1042838)] were both significantly higher in patients with idiopathic RPL than in the control subjects (both P values = 0.006). In addition, the C-C haplotype, which consists of rs590688C > G and rs11224592T > C, is associated with a decreased risk of RPL (p = 0.004).ConclusionPROGINS polymorphism confers susceptibility to idiopathic recurrent pregnancy loss in Taiwanese Han women.

Association of infertility and recurrent pregnancy loss with the risk of dementia.

Project description:Emerging evidence has shown the association between female reproductive histories (e.g., menarche age, parity, premature and early menopause) and the risk of dementia. However, little attention has been given to infertility and pregnancy loss. To examine the associations of infertility, recurrent miscarriages, and stillbirth with the risk of dementia, this study used data from four cohorts in the International Collaboration for a Life Course Approach to Reproductive Health and Chronic Disease Events. Women with data on at least one of the reproductive exposures of interest, dementia, and all covariates were included. Histories of infertility, miscarriage, and stillbirth were self-reported. Dementia (including Alzheimer's disease) was identified through surveys, aged care, pharmaceutical, hospital, and death registry data. Cause-specific Cox regression models were used to estimate the hazard ratios of dementia, accounting for well-established risk factors of dementia, study variability, and within-study correlation. Overall, 291,055 women were included at a median (interquartile range) age of 55.0 (47.0-62.0) at baseline. During the median (interquartile range) follow-up period of 13.0 (12.0-14.0) years, 3334 (1.2%) women developed dementia. Compared to women without stillbirth, a history of recurrent stillbirths (≥ 2) was associated with 64% higher risk of dementia (adjusted hazard ratio = 1.64, 95% confidence interval: 1.46-1.85). Compared to women without miscarriage, women with recurrent miscarriages (≥ 3) were at 22% higher risk of dementia (adjusted hazard ratio = 1.22, 95% confidence interval: 1.19-1.25). These findings suggest that recurrent stillbirths is a risk factor for dementia and may need to be considered in risk assessment of dementia in women.
