Association of Single Nucleotide Polymorphism rs2228570 with Lumbar Disc Degeneration: A Case-Control Study and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To examine the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs2228570, rs731236, rs7975232, and rs1544410 and lumbar disc degeneration (LDD) predisposition.

Methods

A search strategy was carried out, and the data were extracted after being chosen by the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Pooled odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were calculated to assess the association between the aforementioned SNPs and LDD under allelic, dominant, recessive, heterozygous, and homozygous genetic models. In addition, a case-control study involving 46 LDD cases and 45 controls was also performed in the analysis to verify the result.

Results

A total of 17 studies were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled results did not show any association between vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms and LDD. But, interestingly, in subgroup analysis, the rs2228570 polymorphism was associated with LDD under the allelic (OR = 0.70, 95% CI = 0.56-0.87, p = 0.002), recessive (OR = 0.60, 95% CI = 0.43-0.84, p = 0.003), and homozygous (OR = 0.47, 95% CI= 0.28-0.79, p = 0.004) genetic models in the Asian population. SNPs rs731236 and rs7975232 still did not show any obvious association. We obtained a similar result from the case-control study: rs2228570 had an obvious relationship with LDD under allelic and homozygous genetic models. At the same time, we found that rs2228570 was also associated with the degree of low back pain (visual analogue scale, VAS score) in LDD population.

Conclusion

SNP rs2228570 was significantly associated with LDD predisposition and the degree of low back pain in the Asian population.

Project description:The association between growth differentiation factor 5 (GDF5), single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs143383 and lumbar disc degeneration (LDD) was investigated. A total of 210 patients with LDD (observation group) and 320 patients without lumbar diseases (control group) diagnosed in Shanghai General Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from August 2013 to March 2017 were randomly selected. Then, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) was extracted from the blood of each patient, and Taq-man fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technique was used to detect rs143383 in GFD5 gene. The frequency of different genotypes in observation group and control group was counted, and the associations between different SNP genotypes and the incidence of LDD were analyzed. Good genotyping results were found in both LDD patient group and control group. There were no significant differences in distribution frequency of TT and TC genotypes at site rs143383 between LDD patient group and control group (P>0.05), but the distribution frequency of CC genotype at site rs143383 in LDD patient group had a statistically significant difference from that in control group (P<0.05). In dominant models, odds ratio (OR) of (TC+CC/TT) was 1.195 (P=0.532). In recessive models, OR of (CC/TT+TC) was 4.333 (P=0.028). In co-dominant models, ORs of (TC/TT) and (CC/TT) were 0.967 and 4.43, respectively (P=0.99). The differences in 3 genotypes showed no statistical significance among different pathological grades (Grade I to V) (?2=1.034, P=0.998), and there was no statistically significant difference in T and C (?2=0.012, P=0.999). Pathological grades in dominant models, recessive models and over dominant models were analyzed, and no statistically significant difference was found (P>0.05). In conclusion, CC mutant type at rs143383 in GDF5 gene has a strong association with the incidence of LDD, and a high prevalence risk, but it has no evident correlation with pathological grades.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Considered as one of the major causes of low back pain, Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is caused by several genetic and environmental factors. As inflammation plays an important role in disc degeneration, the genetic changes in both inflammatory and anti-inflammatory genes may play causative roles in IVDD as well. Therefore, the interactions between inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines and also other components of disc matrix would determine the degree of tissue destruction in disc degeneration. However, there is still controversy regarding the exact role of inflammation and disc homeostasis imbalance in pathophysiology of IVDD. Therefore, current study was conducted to investigate the role of IL-10 and TGF-? single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in Iranian IVDD patients. METHODS:Seventy-six IVDD patients and 140 healthy controls were enrolled in this study. Genomic DNA from peripheral leukocytes was tested for 3 SNPs in IL10 (L-10 -1082G/A (rs1800896), IL-10 -819C/T (rs1800871), IL-10 -592A/C (rs1800872)) and 2 SNPs in TGF-? (TGF-? Codon 10 C/T (rs1982037), and TGF-? Codon 25 C/T (rs1800471) genes through PCR-SSP method. The extracted genomic DNA was genotyped for the aforementioned SNPs of interest using specific primers, which were coated in the cytokines KITs and based on the PCR-SSP method for sequencing. RESULTS:The 'T' allele of IL-10 -819C/T and the 'C' allele of IL-10 -592A/C were more prevalent among patients, whereas the 'C' and 'A' alleles of respective SNPs were significantly more frequent in controls. The genotypes including 'CT' of IL-10 -819C/T, 'CA' of IL-10 -592A/C, and 'GA' of IL-10 -1082A/G were more common among patients, while the 'CC' genotype of both IL-10 -819C/T and IL-10 -592A/C SNPs were more frequent in controls. In addition, the IL-10 haplotypes including 'ACC', 'ATA', and 'ACA' were significantly associated with disease. Meanwhile, the 'TC' haplotype of TGF-? was more common among patients as well. CONCLUSIONS:The IL-10 SNPs were significantly associated with IVDD in Iranian population; which proposes that genomic alterations of anti-inflammatory cytokines could lead to homeostasis imbalance in intervertebral discs and degenerative changes.
