A New Risk Polymorphism rs10403848 of CARD8 Significantly Associated with Psoriasis Vulgaris in Northeastern China.

ABSTRACT: Caspase recruitment domain family member 8 (CARD8) is an adaptor molecule that negatively regulates nuclear factor-?B (NF-?B) activation, interleukin (IL)-1? secretion, and apoptosis. These play important roles in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. Genetic variants of CARD8 have been associated with an increased risk of several inflammatory diseases and psoriasis in Europe. However, nothing is known about the association of the polymorphisms of CARD8 and psoriasis vulgaris (PsV) in the Han population of northeastern China. To investigate the potential association between them, we designed a case-control study to genotype four selected single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) using the improved multiplex ligation reaction (iMLDR) method. Model-based single SNP frequentist-test and haplotype association studies were performed to assess the association between SNPs and PsV. The results showed that the intron SNP rs10403848 was significantly associated with PsV (additive model p=0.0418, p'=0.0411, and statistical power 0.1902; heterozygous model p=0.0418, p'=0.0164, and statistical power 0.9406). A potential risk locus of nonsynonymous SNP rs2043211 found in the European population did not show a significant association in our study. We found that the polymorphism rs10403848 in CARD8 is significantly associated with PsV risk in the Han population of northeastern China. CARD8 may be involved in PsV in this population, as in the European population, but a different genetic process should be considered for the heterogeneity of risk loci.

Caspase recruitment domain family member 8 (CARD8) is an adaptor molecule that negatively regulates nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activation, interleukin (IL)-1β secretion, and apoptosis. These play important roles in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. Genetic variants of CARD8 have been associated with an increased risk of several inflammatory diseases and psoriasis in Europe. However, nothing is known about the association of the polymorphisms of CARD8 and psoriasis vulgaris (PsV) ...[more]

Project description:BackgroundPsoriasis is an incurable, chronic skin disorder with considerable impact on the quality of life. No drugs are available for treating the disease. Clarifying the progression, exploring the risk factors affecting progression, and finding effective treatments with few side-effects and low recurrence rates is critical. This protocol describes a future study that will analyze psoriasis vulgaris progression risk factors and trends, establish a multicenter clinical registration platform, evaluate clinical evidence for Chinese Medicine (CM) intervention for psoriasis, and evaluate therapeutic effectiveness and recurrence rate advantages of CM.MethodsThe study is a prospective cohort clinical trial planned for October 2019 to September 2021 involving 20 clinics. The trial will enroll 1,500 participants in a psoriasis vulgaris group, and 500 healthy participants in a control group (no intervention). The psoriasis vulgaris group will be divided into three equal-sized subgroups: blood heat syndrome group (BHS), blood stasis syndrome group (BSS), and non-blood heat nor blood stasis syndrome group (NHS) group. Participants will be grouped according to CM syndrome classification and receive oral CM herbal medication (according to the CM syndrome classification, and tailored to the participant's disease progression). Medication will be administered twice every day during the intervention phase (eight weeks of intervention, and eight weeks of follow-up). Exposure measures include demographic variables, risk factors, and intervention factors.DiscussionThe primary outcome measures include improvement in both the psoriasis and severity index scores after eight weeks of intervention. Secondary outcome measures include body surface area affected, Physician Global Assessment scores, Dermatology Life Quality Index, pain-relat ed quality of life, pain on visual analog scale, CM syndromes, and recurrence. Other outcome measures include CM physical scale, personal history, medical expenses, and patient satisfaction. The number, nature, and severity of adverse events will be carefully recorded.Trial registrationThe trial has been registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (ID: NCT03942185).

Project description:Background:Psoriasis vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory and proliferative skin disease, characterized by the formation of itchy, erythematous skin patches or plaques. Patients with psoriasis are at an increased risk of developing metabolic syndrome, including obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and atherosclerosis. Recently, angiotensin II (Ang II) has been reported to be associated with the development of psoriasis. Ang II not only increases the blood pressure but is also a potent proinflammatory modulator and functions through interaction with angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R). Moreover, it is hypothesized that the AT1R gene expression could be correlated with the severity of psoriasis and/or metabolic syndrome. Aim:We examined the association of Ang II type 1 receptor (AT1R) A1166C gene polymorphisms and metabolic syndrome with the severity of psoriasis. Patients and methods:The present case-control study included 25 patients with psoriasis vulgaris and 25 healthy subjects in Egypt. The psoriasis lesions in the patient group were assessed using the psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) score. The AT1R polymorphism A1166C (rs5186) was studied using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of the gene from the whole blood sample in both groups. Serum lipid profile and blood sugar levels were assessed post 12 h and 8 h fasting, respectively, in both groups. The severity of metabolic syndrome was evaluated using the severity score. Results:The results of the present study demonstrated that the AT1R A1166C gene polymorphisms increased the risk of developing psoriasis in the Egyptian population. We found that 70% of patients with AC genotype and 100% of patients CC genotype reported a PASI score >20 and were considered to be severe cases with a statistically significant difference as compared with patients with AA genotype (p=0.003). In addition, a high statistically significant difference (p=0.001) existed among AT1R genotypes with respect to the percentage of metabolic syndrome in psoriasis patients. Similarly, a statistically significant difference (p=0.004) among AT1R genotypes with respect to metabolic score was found, with the highest level of score and percentage observed in patients with CC genotype than in patients with AC genotype. The lowest level was present among those with AA genotype. Conclusion:Patients with psoriasis expressing the C allele of AT1R1166 are susceptible to developing metabolic syndrome and have higher PASI scores as compared with patients carrying the A allele.
