Copy number variations and polymorphisms in HSP90AB1 and risk of systemic lupus erythematosus and efficacy of glucocorticoids.

ABSTRACT: The aim of our study was to assess the associations of HSP90AB1 copy number variations (CNVs) with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) risk and glucocorticoids (GCs) efficacy, as well as the relationship between HSP90AB1 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and GCs efficacy. HSP90AB1 CNVs and SLE risk were analysed in 519 patients and 538 controls. Patients treated with GCs were followed up for 12 weeks and were divided into sensitive and insensitive groups to investigate the effects of CNVs (419 patients) and SNPs (457 patients) on the efficacy of GCs. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) was also measured by SF-36 at baseline and week 12 to explore the relationship between CNVs/SNPs and HRQoL improvements in Chinese SLE patients. Our results indicated a statistically significant association between HSP90AB1 CNVs and SLE (PBH = 0.039), and this association was more pronounced in the female subgroup (PBH = 0.039). However, we did not detect association of HSP90AB1 CNVs/SNPs with efficacy of GCs. But we found a marginal association between SNP rs13296 and improvement in Role-emotional, while this association was not strong enough to survive in the multiple testing corrections. Collectively, our findings suggest that the copy number of HSP90AB1 is associated with SLE susceptibility. But copy number and polymorphisms of HSP90AB1 may not be associated with efficacy of GCs.

Project description:ObjectiveTo determine whether copy number variations (CNVs) in FCGR3A and FCGR3B are associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in Taiwanese individuals.MethodsFCGR3A and FCGR3B CNV genotypes were determined in 846 patients with SLE, 948 patients with RA, and 1,420 healthy control subjects, using custom TaqMan CNV assays. The FCGR3A and FCGR3B CNV genotypes were compared between healthy control subjects and patients and among patients stratified according to clinical characteristics.ResultsA low (<2) FCGR3A copy number was significantly associated with SLE (for <2 copies versus 2 copies, P = 5.06 × 10(-4) , false discovery rate-corrected P [PFDR ] = 0.001, odds ratio [OR] 3.26, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 1.68-6.35) and RA (for <2 copies versus 2 copies, P = 5.83 × 10(-4) , PFDR = 0.0012, OR 2.82, 95% CI 1.56-5.1). A low FCGR3B copy number was also significantly associated with SLE (for <2 copies versus 2 copies, P = 0.0032, PFDR = 0.0032, OR 1.59, 95% CI 1.17-2.18). Notably, a high (>2) FCGR3A copy number was also associated with SLE (for >2 copies versus 2 copies, P = 0.003, PFDR = 0.0061, OR 1.6, 95% CI 1.17-2.18). Additionally, the FCGR3A low copy number genotype was significantly enriched in subsets of patients with SLE (those with ulcer, arthritis, rash, discoid rash, photosensitivity, nephritis, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, depressed complement levels, and autoantibody positivity) and patients with RA (those positive for rheumatoid factor) compared with healthy control subjects. The FCGR3B low copy number genotype was also significantly enriched in SLE patients with ulcer, rash, discoid rash, photosensitivity, ascites, nephritis, complement level depression, and anti-double-stranded DNA antibody positivity compared with control subjects. However, FCGR3B CNVs were not associated with RA susceptibility (for <2 copy numbers versus 2 copy numbers, P = 0.3584, OR 1.15, 95% CI 0.85-1.55) and clinical characteristics.ConclusionIn Taiwanese individuals, a low FCGR3A copy number is a common risk factor for SLE and RA, while a low FCGR3B copy number confers a risk of SLE but not RA.

Project description:Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the associations between HSP90B1 gene polymorphisms and the efficacy of glucocorticoids (GCs) and the improvement of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in Anhui patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Method: A total of 305 patients with SLE were recruited to the study. These patients were treated with GCs for 12 weeks and classified into two groups (sensitivity and insensitivity) according to the response to GCs measured by the scores on SLE disease activity index (SLEDAI). The HRQoL of SLE patients were evaluated by 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) at baseline and 12 weeks respectively. HapMap database and Haploview software were used to select HSP90B1 gene tag single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Benjamini & Hochberg (BH) method based on false discovery rate (FDR) was used for multiple testing correction. Results: A total of 291 patients were included in final data analysis with 14 patients excluded due to loss to follow-up. Among these patients, 160 patients were sensitive to GCs and 131 patients were insensitive to GCs. Twelve tag SNPs of HSP90B1 gene were selected. The rs12426382 polymorphism was associated with the efficacy of GCs (dominant model: crude OR=0.514, 95% CI=0.321-0.824, P=0.006; adjusted OR=0.513, 95% CI=0.317-0.831, P=0.007). After BH correction, there was no association between rs12426382 polymorphism and efficacy of GCs (PBH =0.084). In haplotype analysis, the haplotype CCCGAACATCCC (OR=2.273, 95% CI=1.248-4.139, P=0.006) and CTGGGACGTTC (OR=0.436, 95% CI=0.208-0.916, P=0.025) showed significant associations with the efficacy of GCs. After corrected by BH method, CCCGAACATCCC was still associated with the efficacy of GCs (PBH =0.048). The rs3794241, rs1165681, rs2722188, rs3794240 and rs10861147 polymorphisms were associated with the improvement of HRQoL among SLE patients (P < 0.05). But no association existed after the correction of BH method (P > 0.05). Conclusions: The results of this study demonstrated that HSP90B1 genetic polymorphisms might be associated with the efficacy of GCs, but not associated with the improvement of HRQoL in Anhui population with SLE.

Project description:Human complement C4 is complex, with multiple layers of diversity. The aims of this study were to elucidate the copy number variations (CNVs) of C4A and C4B in relation to disease risk in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and to compare the basis of race-specific C4A deficiency between East Asians and individuals of European descent.The East Asian study population included 999 SLE patients and 1,347 healthy subjects. Variations in gene copy numbers (GCNs) of total C4, C4A, and C4B, as well as C4-Long and C4-Short genes, were determined and validated using independent genotyping technologies. Genomic regions with C4B96 were investigated to determine the basis of the most basic C4B protein occurring concurrently with C4A deficiency.In East Asians, high GCNs of total C4 and C4A were strongly protective against SLE, whereas low and medium GCNs of total C4 and C4A, and the absence of C4-Short genes, were risk factors for SLE. Homozygous C4A deficiency was infrequent in East Asian subjects, but had an odds ratio (OR) of 12.4 (P?=?0.0015) for SLE disease susceptibility. Low serum complement levels were strongly associated with low GCNs of total C4 (OR 3.19, P?=?7.3?×?10(-7) ) and C4B (OR 2.53, P?=?2.5?×?10(-5) ). Patients with low serum complement levels had high frequencies of anti-double-stranded DNA antibodies (OR 4.96, P?=?9.7?×?10(-17) ), hemolytic anemia (OR 3.89, P?=?3.6?×?10(-10) ), and renal disease (OR 2.18, P?=?8.5?×?10(-6) ). The monomodular-Short haplotype found to be prevalent in European Americans with C4A deficiency, which was in linkage disequilibrium with HLA-DRB1*0301, was scarce in East Asians. Instead, most East Asian subjects with C4A deficiency were found to have a recombinant haplotype with bimodular C4-Long and C4-Short genes, encoding C4B1 and C4B96, which was linked to HLA-DRB1*1501. DNA sequencing revealed an E920K polymorphism in C4B96.C4 CNVs and deficiency of C4A both play an important role in the risk and manifestations of SLE in East Asian and European populations.
