The SERPINA4 rs2070777 AA Genotype is Associated with an Increased Risk of Recurrent Miscarriage in a Southern Chinese Population.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Many inflammation-related gene polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility to recurrent miscarriage. SERPINA4 is involved in inflammation and is associated with susceptibility to a variety of diseases, but its relevance in recurrent miscarriage is unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between SERPINA4 gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to recurrent spontaneous abortion.

Methods

Two SERPINA4 polymorphisms were genotyped in 631 patients with recurrent miscarriage and 771 controls by TaqMan real-time polymerase chain reaction, and the strength of each association was evaluated through 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and odds ratios (ORs).

Results

The results showed that SERPINA4 rs2070777 AA genotypes were associated with an increased risk of recurrent miscarriage (AA vs AT/TT adjusted OR=1.409, 95% CI=1.032-1.924, P=0.0309), and we also found a significant association between the rs910352 T allele in the SERPINA4 gene and susceptibility to recurrent miscarriage (CT vs CC adjusted OR=1.579, 95% CI=1.252-1.992, P=0.0001; TT vs CC adjusted OR=1.524, 95% CI=1.134-2.049, P=0.0052). The combined analysis of two SNPs of the SERPINA4 gene revealed that carriers with one to two unfavorable genotypes were associated with a higher risk for recurrent miscarriage compared with individuals with no unfavorable genotypes (adjusted OR=1.257, 95% CI=1.019-1.550). Moreover, our study indicates that having one to two unfavorable genotypes is associated with an increased risk of recurrent miscarriage in women 35-40 years of age.

Conclusion

Our study suggests that SERPINA4 rs2070777AA genotypes might contribute to an increased risk of recurrent miscarriage in a southern Chinese population.

Project description:Nuclear factor ?B (NF?B) plays a key role in the regulation of apoptosis. The function of NF?B is inhibited by binding to NF?B inhibitor (I?B), and disruption of the balance of NF?B and I?B is related to the development of many diseases, including tumors. Therefore, we hypothesized that the NF?B1 (-94del/insATTG) and NF?BIA (2758 A>G) polymorphisms were associated with colorectal cancer (CRC) susceptibility.In a hospital-based case-control study of 1001 CRC patients and 1005 cancer-free controls frequency matched by age and sex, we genotyped polymorphisms using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method and performed luciferase assays and Western blotting analysis to identify whether genetic variants in NF?BIA alter its gene expressions and functions and thus cancer risk.We found that both NF?B1-94 ins/delATTG and NF?BIA 2758 A>G polymorphisms were correlated with CRC risk (OR?=?1.47; 95%CI?=?1.14-1.86, and OR?=?1.38; 95% CI?=?1.14-1.66, respectively). Furthermore, when evaluated these two polymorphisms together, the combined genotypes with 2 variant (risk) alleles (2758GG and -94ins/ins+del/ins) were associated with an increased risk of CRC (OR?=?1.71; 95% CI?=?1.23-2.38) compared to 0 variant, and the significant trend for 2 variant (risk) alleles were more pronounced among subgroups of aged <60 years, women, never drinkers, never smokers, persons with a normal BMI and those with a family history of cancer(P(trend)<0.01). Moreover, luciferase assays showed that the G allele in the 3'UTR significantly decreased NF?BIA mRNA stability and the A allele regulation by miRNA449a in vitro and that the NF?BIA protein expression levels of the AA+AG variant carriers were significantly higher in peritumoral tissues than those of the 2758GG genotype.NF?B1 and NF?BIA polymorphisms appear to jointly contribute to risk of CRC. These two variants may be a genetic modifier for CRC susceptibility in this southern Chinese population.
