Genetic susceptibility of common polymorphisms in NIN and SIGLEC5 to chronic periodontitis.

ABSTRACT: Chronic periodontitis (CP) is a common oral disease characterized by the slow progression of alveolar attachment loss and bone destruction. Genetic components have been reported to play an important role in the onset and development of CP. In the present study, we aimed to replicate the association signals of NIN and SIGLEC5 identified in previous genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of samples from Chinese Han individuals. Association signals between clinical severity indicators of CP and relevant single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were also examined. A total of 3,160 study subjects, including 1,076 CP patients and 2,084 healthy controls, were recruited. A total of 32 SNPs, including 22 from NIN and 10 from SIGLEC5, were selected for genotyping. SNPs rs12883458 (OR?=?1.45, P?=?1.22?×?10-5, NIN) and rs4284742 (OR?=?0.75, P?=?1.69?×?10-5, SIGLEC5) were significantly associated with CP disease status. rs4284742 was significantly associated with all 3 clinical severity indicators, including bleeding on probing (BOP), probing depth (PD) and clinical attachment loss (CAL). According to evidence from bioinformatics analyses, both significant SNPs, rs12883458 and rs4284742, are likely surrogates of underlying variants with true effects. In summary, our findings provide direct evidence for the association of NIN and SIGLEC5 with CP susceptibility.

Project description:Periodontitis is a common complex inflammatory disease of the oral cavity. It is characterized by inflammation of gingival tissues and alveolar bone loss. Recently, a genome-wide association study and 2 genome-wide association study meta-analyses found 2 associated regions (haplotype blocks) at the inhibitory immune receptor gene SIGLEC5 to increase the risk for periodontitis. The aims of the current study were the identification of the putative causal variants underlying these associations, characterization of their molecular biological effects, and validation of SIGLEC5 as the target gene. We mapped the associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms to DNA elements with predictive features of regulatory functions and screened the associated alleles for transcription factor (TF) binding sites. Antibody electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSAs) with allele-specific probes were used to identify TF binding and to quantify allele-specific effects on binding affinities. Luciferase reporter assays were used to quantify the effect directions and allele-specific strength of the associated regulatory elements. We used CRISPR-dCas9 gene activation to validate SIGLEC5 as a target of the association. EMSA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells showed that E-26 transformation-specific TF-related gene (ERG) binds at rs11084095, with almost complete loss of binding at the minor A-allele. Allele-specific reporter genes showed enhancer function of the DNA sequence at rs11084095, which was abrogated in the background of the A-allele. EMSA in B lymphocytes showed that TF MAF bZIP (MAFB) binds at the common G-allele of rs4284742, whereas the minor A-allele reduced TF binding by 69%, corresponding to 9-fold reduction of luciferase reporter gene activity by the A-allele. Using CRISPR-dCas9, we showed that the enhancer at rs4284742 strongly activated SIGLEC5 expression, validating this gene as the target gene of the association. We conclude that rs11084095 and rs4284742 are putatively causal for the genome-wide significant associations with periodontitis at SIGLEC5 that impair ERG and MAFB binding, respectively.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:Streptococcus pneumoniae remains a major global health problem and a leading cause of death in children worldwide. The factors that influence development of pneumococcal sepsis remain poorly understood, although increasing evidence points towards a role for genetic variation in the host's immune response. Recent insights from the study of animal models, rare human primary immunodeficiency states, and population-based genetic epidemiology have focused attention on the role of the proinflammatory transcription factor NF-?B in pneumococcal disease pathogenesis. The possible role of genetic variation in the atypical NF-?B inhibitor I?B-R, encoded by NFKBIL2, in susceptibility to invasive pneumococcal disease has not, to our knowledge, previously been reported upon. METHODS:An association study was performed examining the frequencies of nine common NFKBIL2 polymorphisms in two invasive pneumococcal disease case-control groups: European individuals from hospitals in Oxfordshire, UK (275 patients and 733 controls), and African individuals from Kilifi District Hospital, Kenya (687 patients with bacteraemia, of which 173 patients had pneumococcal disease, together with 550 controls). RESULTS:Five polymorphisms significantly associated with invasive pneumococcal disease susceptibility in the European study, of which two polymorphisms also associated with disease in African individuals. Heterozygosity at these loci was associated with protection from invasive pneumococcal disease (rs760477, Mantel-Haenszel 2 × 2 ?(2) = 11.797, P = 0.0006, odds ratio = 0.67, 95% confidence interval = 0.53 to 0.84; rs4925858, Mantel-Haenszel 2 × 2 ?(2) = 9.104, P = 0.003, odds ratio = 0.70, 95% confidence interval = 0.55 to 0.88). Linkage disequilibrium was more extensive in European individuals than in Kenyans. CONCLUSIONS:Common NFKBIL2 polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility to invasive pneumococcal disease in European and African populations. These findings further highlight the importance of control of NF-?B in host defence against pneumococcal disease.
