Collagen type XVIII alpha 1 chain (COL18A1) variants affect the risk of anti-tuberculosis drug-induced hepatotoxicity: A prospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The role of collagen type XVIII alpha 1 chain (COL18A1) in anti-tuberculosis drug-induced hepatotoxicity (ATDH) has not been reported. This study aimed to explore the association between of COL18A1 variants and ATDH susceptibility.

Methods

A total of 746 patients were enrolled in our study from December 2016 to April 2018, and all subjects in the study signed an informed consent form. The custom-by-design 2x48-Plex SNPscanTM kit was used to genotype all selected 11 SNPs. Categorical variables were compared by chi-square (?² ) or Fisher's exact test, while continuous variables were compared by Mann-Whitney's U test. Plink was utilized to analyze allelic and genotypic frequencies, and genetic models. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to adjust potential factors. The odds ratios (ORs) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were also calculated.

Results

Among patients with successfully genotyping, there were 114 cases and 612 controls. The mutant A allele of rs12483377 conferred the decreased risk of ATDH (OR = 0.13, 95%CI: 0.02-0.98, P = 0.020), and this significance still existed after adjusting age and gender (P = 0.024). The mutant homozygote AA genotype of rs12483377 was associated with decreased total protein levels (P = 0.018).

Conclusion

Our study first revealed that the A allele of COL18A1 rs12483377 was associated with the decreased risk of ATDH in the Western Chinese Han population, providing new perspective for the molecular prediction, precise diagnosis, and individual treatment of ATDH.

Project description:Collagen XVIII is an evolutionary conserved ubiquitously expressed basement membrane proteoglycan produced in three isoforms via two promoters (P). Here, we assess the function of the N-terminal, domain of unknown function/frizzled-like sequences unique to medium/long collagen XVIII by creating P-specific null mice. P2-null mice, which only produce short collagen XVIII, developed reduced bulk-adiposity, hepatic steatosis, and hypertriglyceridemia. These abnormalities did not develop in P1-null mice, which produce medium/long collagen XVIII. White adipose tissue samples from P2-null mice contain larger reserves of a cell population enriched in early adipocyte progenitors; however, their embryonic fibroblasts had ∼ 50% lower adipocyte differentiation potential. Differentiating 3T3-L1 fibroblasts into mature adipocytes produced striking increases in P2 gene-products and dramatic falls in P1-transcribed mRNA, whereas Wnt3a-induced dedifferentiation of mature adipocytes produced reciprocal changes in P1 and P2 transcript levels. P2-derived gene-products containing frizzled-like sequences bound the potent adipogenic inhibitor, Wnt10b, in vitro. Previously, we have shown that these same sequences bind Wnt3a, inhibiting Wnt3a-mediated signaling. P2-transcript levels in visceral fat were positively correlated with serum free fatty acid levels, suggesting that collagen α1 (XVIII) expression contributes to regulation of adipose tissue metabolism in visceral obesity. Medium/long collagen XVIII is deposited in the Space of Disse, and interaction between hepatic apolipoprotein E and this proteoglycan is lost in P2-null mice. These results describe a previously unidentified extracellular matrix-directed mechanism contributing to the control of the multistep adipogenic program that determines the number of precursors committing to adipocyte differentiation, the maintenance of the differentiated state, and the physiological consequences of its impairment on ectopic fat deposition.
