Association of Genetic Polymorphisms in Oxidative Stress and Inflammation Pathways with Glaucoma Risk and Phenotype.

ABSTRACT: Oxidative stress and neuroinflammation are involved in the pathogenesis and progression of glaucoma. Our aim was to evaluate the impact of selected single-nucleotide polymorphisms in inflammation and oxidative stress genes on the risk of glaucoma, the patients' clinical characteristics and the glaucoma phenotype. In total, 307 patients with primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension were enrolled. The control group included 339 healthy Slovenian blood donors. DNA was isolated from peripheral blood. Genotyping was performed for SOD2 rs4880, CAT rs1001179, GPX1 rs1050450, GSTP1 rs1695, GSTM1 gene deletion, GSTT1 gene deletion, IL1B rs1143623, IL1B rs16944, IL6 rs1800795 and TNF rs1800629. We found a nominally significant association of GSTM1 gene deletion with decreased risk of ocular hypertension and a protective role of IL1B rs16944 and IL6 rs1800629 in the risk of glaucoma. The CT and TT genotypes of GPX1 rs1050450 were significantly associated with advanced disease, lower intraocular pressure and a larger vertical cup-disc ratio. In conclusion, genetic variability in IL1B and IL6 may be associated with glaucoma risk, while GPX and TNF may be associated with the glaucoma phenotype. In the future, improved knowledge of these pathways has the potential for new strategies and personalised treatment of glaucoma.

Association of genetic polymorphisms of eNOS with glaucoma.

Project description:PURPOSE: Several studies suggest that vascular dysregulation play a role in the etiology of glaucoma. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the association of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene polymorphisms with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and primary closed angle glaucoma (PCAG). METHODS: There were 102 POAG and 88 PCAG patients, diagnosed on the basis of clinical history, raised intraocular pressure (IOP), cup-to-disc ratio (CDR) and visual field defects, and 120 age- and sex-matched control subjects genotyped for 5 tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; rs743507, rs3793342, rs11771443, rs7830, and rs3918188) of the human eNOS gene. RESULTS: rs3793342, rs743507, rs11771443, rs7830, and rs3918188 were not found to be associated with POAG or with PCAG. In the haplotype-based case-control analysis, the frequency of the C-T haplotype established by rs3793342 and rs11771443 was significantly higher for POAG patients than for control subjects (p<0.001, OR=5.111, 95%CI=1.766~14.788). CONCLUSIONS: The C-T haplotype established by rs3793342 and rs11771443 may be genetic marks of POAG in the Han Chinese population.

Genetic Risk and Phenotype Correlation of Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma Based on Rho-Kinase Gene Polymorphisms.

Project description:Rho-associated coiled-coil kinase (ROCK) signaling can affect glaucoma risk by regulating trabecular meshwork outflow. We investigated the effect of ROCK gene polymorphism on the risks of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and POAG-related phenotypes including intraocular pressure (IOP) in a Korean population. A total of 24 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from ROCK1 and ROCK2 were selected and genotyped for 363 POAG patients and 213 healthy controls. Among the 363 POAG patients, 282 were normal-tension glaucoma (NTG, baseline IOP ≤ 21 mmHg) and 81 were high-tension glaucoma (HTG, baseline IOP > 21 mmHg). The SNPs rs288979, rs1006881, rs35996865, rs10083915, and rs11873284 in ROCK1 (tagged to each other, r2 = 1) were nominally associated with risk of HTG (OR = 0.52, p = 0.045). However, there were no SNPs that were significantly associated with the risk of NTG. In the genotype-phenotype correlation analysis, the SNPs rs2230773 and rs3771106 in ROCK2 were significantly correlated with central corneal thickness (CCT)-adjusted IOP (p = 0.024) and axial length (AXL; p = 0.024), respectively. The present data implicated the role of ROCK in POAG development, and as such, can serve as a good reference for upcoming Rho/ROCK-pathway-related studies on POAG.

Genetic polymorphisms in DNA repair and oxidative stress pathways may modify the association between body size and postmenopausal breast cancer.

Project description:PurposeObesity is associated with increased bioavailability of estrogen, hyperinsulinemia, and chronic inflammation, all of which may promote tumor growth. Given DNA repair and oxidative stress pathways may work together with these mechanisms to influence carcinogenesis, we hypothesized that genetic variation in these pathways may modify the obesity-postmenopausal breast cancer (BC) association.MethodsResources from a population-based case-control study (990 cases and 970 controls) were used to construct logistic regression models. Body mass index (BMI, weight [kilogram]/height [square meter]) was assessed 1 year before reference date. We characterized interactions between BMI and 29 genetic polymorphisms in oxidative stress and DNA repair pathways.ResultsAge-adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for postmenopausal BC were 1.24 (1.00-1.52) and 1.35 (1.09-1.71) for 25 ≥ BMI < 30 and BMI ≥ 30 kg/m(2), respectively. We observed multiplicative interactions (P ≤ .05) for eight gene polymorphisms in DNA repair and oxidative stress pathways. For example, among MPO variant allele carriers, obesity was associated with a twofold increased risk of postmenopausal BC (2.13 [1.35-3.36]); however, in wild-type homozygotes, the relationship was less pronounced (1.33 [0.93-1.89]). Our findings were no longer significant after Bonferroni correction.ConclusionsObesity may be particularly deleterious for postmenopausal BC development in the presence of biologically plausible DNA repair or oxidative stress genotypes.

Genetic Polymorphisms in Oxidative Stress and Inflammatory Pathways as Potential Biomarkers in Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia.

Project description:Oxidative stress and neuroinflammation are important processes involved in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Numerous risk factors, including genetic background, can affect the complex interplay between those mechanisms in the aging brain and can also affect typical AD hallmarks: amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. Our aim was to evaluate the association of polymorphisms in oxidative stress- and inflammation-related genes with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarker levels and cognitive test results. The study included 54 AD patients, 14 MCI patients with pathological CSF biomarker levels, 20 MCI patients with normal CSF biomarker levels and 62 controls. Carriers of two polymorphic IL1B rs16944 alleles had higher CSF Aβ1-42 levels (p = 0.025), while carriers of at least one polymorphic NFE2L2 rs35652124 allele had lower CSF Aβ1-42 levels (p = 0.040). Association with IL1B rs16944 remained significant in the AD group (p = 0.029). Additionally, MIR146A rs2910164 was associated with Aβ42/40 ratio (p = 0.043) in AD. Significant associations with cognitive test scores were observed for CAT rs1001179 (p = 0.022), GSTP1 rs1138272 (p = 0.005), KEAP1 rs1048290 and rs9676881 (both p = 0.019), as well as NFE2L2 rs35652124 (p = 0.030). In the AD group, IL1B rs1071676 (p = 0.004), KEAP1 rs1048290 and rs9676881 (both p = 0.035) remained associated with cognitive scores. Polymorphisms in antioxidative and inflammation genes might be associated with CSF biomarkers and cognitive test scores and could serve as additional biomarkers contributing to early diagnosis of dementia.

The causal effect of oxidative stress on the risk of glaucoma.

Project description:Glaucoma is a complex multifactorial disease. Oxidative stress has been implicated in its pathogenesis. However, establishing a causal relationship between oxidative stress and glaucoma is challenging due to confounding and reverse causality. In this study, we performed bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses based on genetic instrumental variables as proxies for 11 biomarkers of oxidative stress injury to investigate the causal relationship between oxidative stress and glaucoma. Eight significant associations were identified. Increased circulating levels of catalase (OR = 0.915, 95 % CI: 0.848-0.987, P = 0.022), retinol (OR = 0.481, 95 % CI: 0.248-0.932, P = 0.044) and superoxide dismutase (OR = 0.779, 95 % CI: 0. 616-0.986, P = 0.038) are associated with a decreased risk of glaucoma, whereas an increased myeloperoxidase level (OR = 2.145, 95 % CI: 1.119-4.111, P = 0.029) is associated with an increased risk of glaucoma. Glaucoma was causally associated with lower levels of total bilirubin (OR = 0.961, 95 % CI: 0.927-0.997, P = 0.039), glutathione peroxidase (OR = 0. 934, 95 % CI: 0.890-0.981, P = 0.006), paraoxonase (OR = 0.883, 95 % CI: 0.810-0.963, P = 0.005) and albumin (OR = 0.988, 95 % CI: 0.978-0.998, P = 0.014). The bidirectional MR analysis revealed a causal relationship between oxidative stress and glaucoma. These findings provide a greater understanding of the underlying mechanisms of glaucomatous neurodegeneration and imply a potential therapeutic approach for glaucoma through targeting oxidative stress pathways.

Association between systemic oxidative stress and visual field damage in open-angle glaucoma.

Project description:Local and systemic oxidative stress in intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation and optic nerve damage may be involved in the pathogenesis of glaucoma. We reported previously that a lower level of systemic antioxidative capacity is associated with IOP elevation in open-angle glaucoma (OAG). We assessed the correlation between the visual field sensitivity value, i.e., mean deviation (MD), and systemic levels of prooxidants and antioxidants by analyzing the blood biochemistry in 202 patients with glaucoma. Serum levels of lipid peroxides, ferric-reducing activity, and thiol antioxidant activity were measured using the diacron reactive oxygen metabolite (dROM), biological antioxidant potential (BAP), and sulfhydryl (SH) tests, respectively, using a free-radical analyzer. Univariate and multivariate analyses suggested a positive correlation between MD and BAP (R?=?0.005 and P?=?0.0442 by a multiple regression model adjusted for seven demographic parameters), but no significant associations between the MD and the dROM (R?=?0.002 and P?=?0.8556) and SH tests (R?=?-0.001 and P?=?0.8280). Use of more antiglaucoma medication and primary OAG rather than normal tension glaucoma also were associated significantly with worse visual field damage. This large and comprehensive assessment of the association between systemic redox status and visual field damage in OAG suggests that lower systemic antioxidant capacity measured by ferric-reducing activity is associated with more severe visual field damage in OAG that partly explained its roles in IOP elevation.

Repeat polymorphisms underlie top genetic risk loci for glaucoma and colorectal cancer.

Project description:Many regions in the human genome vary in length among individuals due to variable numbers of tandem repeats (VNTRs). To assess the phenotypic impact of VNTRs genome-wide, we applied a statistical imputation approach to estimate the lengths of 9,561 autosomal VNTR loci in 418,136 unrelated UK Biobank participants and 838 GTEx participants. Association and statistical fine-mapping analyses identified 58 VNTRs that appeared to influence a complex trait in UK Biobank, 18 of which also appeared to modulate expression or splicing of a nearby gene. Non-coding VNTRs at TMCO1 and EIF3H appeared to generate the largest known contributions of common human genetic variation to risk of glaucoma and colorectal cancer, respectively. Each of these two VNTRs associated with a >2-fold range of risk across individuals. These results reveal a substantial and previously unappreciated role of non-coding VNTRs in human health and gene regulation.

Genetic polymorphisms in oxidative stress pathway genes and modification of BMI and risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Project description:Being overweight and obese increases oxidative stress in the body. To test the hypothesis that genetic variations in oxidative stress pathway genes modify the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), we conducted a population-based case-control study in Connecticut women.Individuals who were overweight/obese (BMI ? 25) were compared with normal and underweight individuals (BMI < 25), and their risk of NHL stratified assuming a dominant allele model for each oxidative stress pathway single-nucleotide polymorphism.Polymorphisms in AKR1A1, AKR1C1, AKR1C3, CYBA, GPX1, MPO, NCF2, NCF4, NOS1, NOS2A NOS3, OGG1, ATG9B, SOD1, SOD2, SOD3, RAC1, and RAC2 genes after false discovery rate adjustment did not modify the association between BMI and risk of NHL overall and histologic subtypes.The results suggest that common genetic variations in oxidative stress genes do not modify the relationship between BMI and risk of NHL.Studies of BMI and oxidative stress independently may elevate NHL risk, but this study suggests no interaction of the two risk factors. Future studies with larger study populations may reveal interactions.

Genetic polymorphisms modifying oxidative stress are associated with disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis patients.

Project description:Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species are involved in the pathology of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Polymorphisms in genes coding for superoxide dismutases (SOD2 and SOD3), catalase (CAT), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFA) and inducible NO synthase (NOS2A) may influence RA activity. We determined SOD2 Ala-9Val, SOD3 Arg213Gly, CAT C-262T, TNFA G-308A, TNFA C-857T and NOS2A (CCTTT) (n)polymorphisms in 327 RA patients. Carriers of CAT -262T and TNFA -308A allele had lower mean disease activity score of 28 joint count (DAS28) values than patients with CAT -262CC and TNFA -308GG genotypes (p = 0.014 and p = 0.046, respectively). Patients with the combination of CAT -262T and TNFA -308A allele had lower mean DAS28 values and a higher probability for low disease activity than non-carriers (p = 0.003, OR = 3.585, 95% CI = 1.538-8.357). Our results suggest that CAT and TNFA polymorphisms alone and in combination influence the activity of RA.

The Association of Oxidative Stress Status with Open-Angle Glaucoma and Exfoliation Glaucoma: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Project description:PurposeTo systematically evaluate the associations between oxidative stress status and different types of glaucoma.DesignSystematic review and meta-analysis.MethodsWe searched PubMed, EMBASE, and the Web of Science for randomized controlled trials written in the English language between January 1, 1990, and November 30, 2016. A random effects model was used to estimate oxidative stress status along with weighted mean differences and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). A funnel plot analysis and Egger's test were performed to assess potential publication bias.Main outcome measuresOxidative stress status was abnormal and different in patients with OAG (open-angle glaucoma) and EXG (exfoliation glaucoma).ResultsBlood TAS (total antioxidant status) was lower in the OAG group than in the control group, with a mean difference of 0.580?mmol/L (p < 0.0001, 95% CI?=?-0.668 to -0.492). The aqueous humor SOD (superoxide dismutase), GPX (glutathione peroxidase), and CAT (catalase) levels were higher in the OAG group than in the control group, with mean differences of 17.989?U/mL (p < 0.0001, 95% CI?=?14.579-21.298), 12.441?U/mL (p < 0.0001, 95% CI?=?10.423-14.459), and 1.229?fmol/mL (p=0.042, 95% CI?=?0.043-2.414), respectively. Blood TAS was lower in the EXG group than in the control group, with a mean difference of 0.262?mmol/L (p < 0.0001, 95% CI?=?-0.393 to -0.132). However, there were no differences in blood TOS and aqueous humor TOS between the EXG group and the control group.ConclusionsThis meta-analysis indicates that OAG patients had a lower TAS in the blood and higher levels of SOD, GPX, and CAT in the aqueous humor, while EXG patients only had a decreased TAS in the blood.
