Macrophage migration inhibitory factor-794 CATT microsatellite polymorphism and risk of tuberculosis: a meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic infectious disease that has been threatening public health for many years. Several studies have shown the relationship between the macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF)-794 CATT (MIF-794 CATT) microsatellite polymorphism and susceptibility to TB. However, the results remain inconclusive. Therefore, we aim to find out the impact of MIF-794 CATT microsatellite polymorphism on risk of TB by a comprehensive meta-analysis. We conducted a systematic study search in PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) up to October 2017. Five studies involving 836 cases and 678 controls were included in the current meta-analysis. We calculated the pooled odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to estimate the association between the MIF-794 CATT microsatellite polymorphism and risk of TB. The reliability of the results were evaluated with trial sequential analysis (TSA). The results suggested that the MIF-794 CATT microsatellite polymorphism was significantly associated with the susceptibility of TB in all comparisons for allele (7 + 8 compared with 5 + 6, OR = 1.56, 95% CI = 1.31-1.87, P<0.00001) and genotype (7/X + 8/X compared with 5/X + 6/X, OR = 1.81, 95% CI = 1.39-2.36, P<0.0001). Therefore, the meta-analysis indicated the MIF-794 allele CATT7 and CATT8 may be a risk factor to increase the susceptibility of TB, which was confirmed by TSA.

Project description:Human macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a cytokine that plays a role in several metabolic and inflammatory processes. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) -173 G/C (rs755622) on MIF gene has been associated with numerous diseases, such as arthritis and cancer. However, most of the reports concerning the association of MIF with these and other pathologies are inconsistent and remain quite controversial. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis from 96 case-control studies on -173 G/C MIF SNP and stratified the data according to the subjects geographic localization or the disease pathophysiology, in order to determine a more meaningful significance to this SNP. The polymorphism was strongly associated with an increased risk in autoimmune-inflammatory, infectious and age-related diseases on the dominant (OR: 0.74 [0.58-0.93], P < 0.01; OR: 0.81 [0.74-0.89], P < 0.0001; and OR: 0.81 [0.76-0.87], P < 0.0001, respectively) and the recessive models (OR: 0.74 [0.57-0.095], P < 0.01; OR: 0.66 [0.48-0.92], P < 0.0154; and OR: 0.70 [0.60-0.82], P < 0.0001, respectively). Also, significant association was found in the geographic localization setting for Asia, Europe and Latin America subdivisions in the dominant (OR: 0.76 [0.69-0.84], P < 0.0001; OR: 0.77 [0.72-0.83], P < 0.0001; OR: 0.61 [0.44-0.83], P-value: 0.0017, respectively) and overdominant models (OR: 0.85 [0.77-0.94], P < 0.0001; OR: 0.80 [0.75-0.86], P < 0.0001; OR: 0.73 [0.63-0.85], P-value: 0.0017, respectively). Afterwards, we implemented a network meta-analysis to compare the association of the polymorphism for two different subdivisions. We found a stronger association for autoimmune than for age-related or autoimmune-inflammatory diseases, and stronger association for infectious than for autoimmune-inflammatory diseases. We report for the first time a meta-analysis of rs755622 polymorphism with a variety of stratified diseases and populations. The study reveals a strong association of the polymorphism with autoimmune and infectious diseases. These results may help direct future research on MIF-173 G/C in diseases in which the relation is clearer and thus assist the search for more plausible applications.

Project description:Background: Studies have identified that MIF -173 G>C gene polymorphism is associated with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS) susceptibility and steroid resistance, but the results remain inconclusive. Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science for relevant studies published before 31 March 2021. Pooled data were reported as odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI). Noteworthiness of significant OR was estimated by the false positive report probability (FPRP) test. Trial sequential analysis (TSA) was used to control type I and type II errors. Results: We selected seven case-control studies that included 1,026 INS children (362 were steroid-resistant NS and 564 were steroid-sensitive NS) and 870 controls. The results showed that MIF -173 G>C polymorphism was significantly associated with INS susceptibility in allelic, heterozygous and dominant genetic models (C vs. G: OR = 1.325, 95% CI: 1.011-1.738; GC vs. GG: OR = 1.540, 95% CI: 1.249-1.899; CC + GC vs. GG: OR = 1.507, 95% CI: 1.231-1.845), and FPRP test and TSA indicated that the associations were true in heterozygous and dominant models. The pooled results also revealed that MIF -173 G>C polymorphism was significantly associated with steroid resistance in allelic, homozygous and recessive models (C vs. G: OR = 1.707, 95% CI: 1.013-2.876; CC vs. GG: OR = 4.789, 95% CI: 2.109-10.877; CC vs. GC + GG: OR = 4.188, 95% CI: 1.831-9.578), but FPRP test indicated that all these associations were not noteworthy. Furthermore, TSA revealed that the non-significant associations between MIF -173 G>C polymorphism and steroid resistance in heterozygous and dominant models were potential false negative. Conclusions: This meta-analysis could draw a firm conclusion that MIF -173 G>C polymorphism was significantly associated with increased INS risk in heterozygous and dominant genetic models. MIF -173 G>C polymorphism was not likely to affect steroid responsiveness, but more studies were needed to confirm.
