Five genetic markers in the interleukin 1 family in relation to inflammatory bowel disease.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: An imbalance between the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin 1 beta (IL-1 beta) and the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) has been postulated as a pathogenic factor in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). AIMS: To study allelic frequencies of novel polymorphisms in the genes for IL-1 beta and IL-1ra in patients with IBD and to assess the relation between ex vivo cytokine production and allelic variants of the IL-1 beta and IL-1ra genes. SUBJECTS: Two hundred and seventy healthy controls, 74 patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), 72 with Crohn's disease (CD), 40 with primary sclerosing cholangitis for the allelic frequencies, and 60 healthy individuals for the ex vivo stimulation test. METHODS: Genotyping was performed by polymerase chain reaction and subsequent cleavage with specific endonucleases (Mwo1, MspAI1, Alu1, Taq1, BsoF1) for five novel restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) in the genes for IL-1ra and IL-1 beta. RESULTS: No significant differences were found in the allelic frequencies or allele carriage rates of the markers in the IL-1 beta and IL-1ra genes between CD, UC, and healthy controls. No association between the genetic markers and cytokine production levels was observed. Patients with UC carried the combination of both the infrequent allele of the Taq1 RFLP and the Mwo1 RFLP significantly more frequently (35.2% in UC versus 71.1% in controls). CONCLUSIONS: UC is associated with carriage of both infrequent alleles of the Taq1 and Mwo1 RFLPs. However, it could not be confirmed whether the association reflects a pathogenic mechanism underlying UC.

Novel genetic markers in inflammatory bowel disease.

Project description:Genetic factors play a significant role in determining inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) susceptibility. Epidemiologic data support genetic contribution to the pathogenesis of IBD, which include familial aggregation, twin studies, racial and ethnic differences in disease prevalence. Linkage studies have identified several susceptibility genes contained in different genomic regions named IBD1 to IBD9. Nucleotide oligomerization domain (NOD2) and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes are the most extensively studied genetic regions (IBD1 and IBD3 respectively) in IBD. Mutations of the NOD2 gene are associated with Crohn's disease (CD) and several HLA genes are associated with ulcerative colitis (UC) and CD. Toll like receptors (TLRs) have an important role in the innate immune response against infections by mediating recognition of pathogen-associated microbial patterns. Studying single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in molecules involved in bacterial recognition seems to be essential to define genetic backgrounds at risk of IBD. Recently, numerous new genes have been identified to be involved in the genetic susceptibility to IBD: NOD1/Caspase-activation recruitment domains 4 (CARD4), Chemokine ligand 20 (CCL20), IL-11, and IL-18 among others. The characterization of these novel genes potentially will lead to the identification of therapeutic agents and clinical assessment of phenotype and prognosis in patients with IBD.

Immunologic and genetic markers in patients with idiopathic ocular inflammation and a family history of inflammatory bowel disease.

Project description:PurposeTo evaluate the prevalence of immunologic and genetic markers in patients with idiopathic ocular inflammation and a family history of inflammatory bowel disease.DesignMatched case-control study.MethodsPatients with a diagnosis of idiopathic ocular inflammation and family history of inflammatory bowel disease who did not have inflammatory bowel disease themselves were identified and matched to control patients with idiopathic ocular inflammation. Serum was evaluated for immunologic markers using Prometheus IBD Serology 7. Genomic DNA was analyzed for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of the NOD2 gene associated with Crohn disease.ResultsFifteen patients with idiopathic ocular inflammation and family history of inflammatory bowel disease were matched to 15 control patients based on age, sex, and race. Eight of 15 patients (53%) with a family history of inflammatory bowel disease had elevated p-ANCA antibody levels compared to 3 of 15 controls (20%) (1-sided P = .04) with a matched analysis odds ratio of 6.0 (1-sided P = .06). Four of 15 patients (27%) with family history of inflammatory bowel disease tested positive for immunologic markers predicting ulcerative colitis, while no control patients tested positive (1-sided P = .06). Carrier rates of NOD2 SNPs did not differ significantly between the test and control groups.ConclusionsOne-quarter of patients with idiopathic ocular inflammation and a family history of inflammatory bowel disease had immunologic markers predicting bowel disease, and one-half had elevated p-ANCA levels. Prometheus IBD Serology 7 may be useful in the evaluation of selected patients with unexplained uveitis.

Genetic association and epistatic interaction of the interleukin-10 signaling pathway in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease.

Project description:To study the genetic association and epistatic interaction of the interleukin (IL)-10 and IL-10/STAT3 pathways in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).A total of 159 pediatric inflammatory IBD patients (Crohn's disease, n = 136; ulcerative colitis, n = 23) and 129 matched controls were studied for genetic association of selected single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the IL-10 gene and the genes IL10RA, IL10RB, STAT3, and HO1, from the IL-10/STAT3 signaling pathway. As interactions between SNPs from different loci may significantly affect the associated risk for disease, additive (a) and dominant (d) modeling of SNP interactions was also performed to examine high-order epistasis between combinations of the individual SNPs.The results showed that IL-10 rs304496 was associated with pediatric IBD (P = 0.022), but no association was found for two other IL-10 SNPs, rs1800872 and rs2034498, or for SNPs in genes IL10RA, IL10RB, STAT3, and HO1. However, analysis of epistatic interaction among these genes showed significant interactions: (1) between two IL-10 SNPs rs1800872 and rs3024496 (additive-additive P = 0.00015, Bonferroni P value (Bp) = 0.003); (2) between IL-10RB rs2834167 and HO1 rs2071746 (dominant-additive, P = 0.0018, Bp = 0.039); and (3) among IL-10 rs1800872, IL10RB rs2834167, and HO1 rs2071746 (additive-dominant-additive, P = 0.00015, Bp = 0.005), as well as weak interactions among IL-10 rs1800872, IL-10 rs3024496, and IL-10RA (additive-additive-additive, P = 0.003; Bp = 0.099), and among IL10RA, IL10RB, and HO1 genes (additive-dominant-additive, P = 0.008, Bp = 0.287).These results indicate that both the IL-10 gene itself, and through epistatic interaction with genes within the IL-10/STAT3 signaling pathway, contribute to the risk of pediatric IBD.

Expression of Interleukin-26 is upregulated in inflammatory bowel disease.

Project description:AIM:To investigate interleukin (IL)-26 expression in the inflamed mucosa of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and the function of IL-26. METHODS:Human colonic subepithelial myofibroblasts (SEMFs) were isolated from colon tissue surgically resected. The expression of IL-26 protein and its receptor complex was analyzed by immunohistochemistry. The gene expression induced by IL-26 was evaluated by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Intracellular signaling pathways were evaluated by immunoblotting and specific small interfering (si) RNA transfection. RESULTS:The mRNA and protein expression of IL-26 were significantly enhanced in the inflamed mucosa of patients with IBD. IL-26 receptor complex was expressed in colonic SEMFs in vivo and in vitro. IL-26 stimulated the mRNA expression of IL-6 and IL-8 in colonic SEMFs. The inhibitors of mitogen-activated protein kinases and phosphoinositide 3-kinase, and siRNAs for signal transducers and activator of transcription 1/3, nuclear factor-kappa B and activator protein-1 significantly reduced the mRNA expression of IL-6 and IL-8 induced by IL-26. CONCLUSION:These results suggest that IL-26 plays a role in the pathophysiology of IBD through induction of inflammatory mediators.

Inflammatory bowel disease and mutations affecting the interleukin-10 receptor.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The molecular cause of inflammatory bowel disease is largely unknown. METHODS:We performed genetic-linkage analysis and candidate-gene sequencing on samples from two unrelated consanguineous families with children who were affected by early-onset inflammatory bowel disease. We screened six additional patients with early-onset colitis for mutations in two candidate genes and carried out functional assays in patients' peripheral-blood mononuclear cells. We performed an allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation in one patient. RESULTS:In four of nine patients with early-onset colitis, we identified three distinct homozygous mutations in genes IL10RA and IL10RB, encoding the IL10R1 and IL10R2 proteins, respectively, which form a heterotetramer to make up the interleukin-10 receptor. The mutations abrogate interleukin-10-induced signaling, as shown by deficient STAT3 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 3) phosphorylation on stimulation with interleukin-10. Consistent with this observation was the increased secretion of tumor necrosis factor alpha and other proinflammatory cytokines from peripheral-blood mononuclear cells from patients who were deficient in IL10R subunit proteins, suggesting that interleukin-10-dependent "negative feedback" regulation is disrupted in these cells. The allogeneic stem-cell transplantation performed in one patient was successful. CONCLUSIONS:Mutations in genes encoding the IL10R subunit proteins were found in patients with early-onset enterocolitis, involving hyperinflammatory immune responses in the intestine. Allogeneic stem-cell transplantation resulted in disease remission in one patient.

Interleukin (IL)-23 suppresses IL-10 in inflammatory bowel disease.

Project description:Interleukin (IL)-10 plays an important role in immune regulation in the intestine. Immune deregulation is suggested in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This study aims to elucidate the role of IL-23 in the suppression of IL-10 in the IBD intestinal mucosa. Surgically removed colon specimens were obtained from 16 IBD patients. The expressions of IL-10, IL-23, and IgA in the specimens were examined at the protein and gene transcriptional levels. The gene transcription of IL-10 was assessed by chromatin immunoprecipitation assay and promoter accessibility assay. The levels of IgA and IL-10 were significantly lower, whereas the levels of IL-23 were higher, in IBD specimens than in normal controls. The levels of IgA and IL-10 were negatively correlated with the infiltration of inflammatory cells in the IBD mucosa. The production of IL-10 by lamina propria mononuclear cells was lower in the IBD group than in the control group, and these levels could be enhanced by blocking IL-23. The gene transcription of IL-10 was significantly suppressed in CD4(+) T cells of IBD mucosa; this phenomenon could be replicated in vitro by adding IL-23 in the culture of polarized Th2 cells. Overexpression of IL-23 in the intestinal mucosa suppresses the production of IL-10, which weakens the defensive barrier by reducing the production of IgA in the gut.

The anti-inflammatory and protective role of interleukin-38 in inflammatory bowel disease.

Project description:Interleukin (IL)-38 exerts an anti-inflammatory function by binding to several cytokine receptors, including the IL-36 receptor. In this study, we evaluated IL-38 expression in the inflamed mucosa of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and investigated its functions. IL-38 mRNA expression in endoscopic biopsy samples was evaluated using quantitative PCR. IL-38 protein expression was analyzed using immunohistochemical technique. Dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis was induced in C57BL/6 background IL-38KO mice. The IL-38 mRNA and protein expression were enhanced in the active mucosa of ulcerative colitis, but not in Crohn's disease. The ratio of IL-36γ to IL-38 mRNA expression was significantly elevated in the active mucosa of UC patients. Immunofluorescence staining revealed that B cells are the major cellular source of IL-38 in the colonic mucosa. IL-38 dose-dependently suppressed the IL-36γ-induced mRNA expression of CXC chemokines (CXCL1, CXCL2, and CXCL8) in HT-29 and T84 cells. IL-38 inhibited the IL-36γ-induced activation of nuclear-factor kappa B (NF-κB) and mitogen-activated protein kinases in HT-29 cells. DSS-colitis was significantly exacerbated in IL-38KO mice compared to wild type mice. In conclusion, IL-38 may play an anti-inflammatory and protective role in the pathophysiology of IBD, in particular ulcerative colitis, through the suppression of IL-36-induced inflammatory responses.

MAGI2 genetic variation and inflammatory bowel disease.

Project description:BackgroundDespite recent advances the majority of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) susceptibility 'genes' remain undiscovered. Recent data suggest that autoimmune conditions may 'share' susceptibility loci. Epidemiological evidence indicates an association between celiac disease and IBD and both conditions demonstrate increased gut permeability. MAGI2, recently implicated in ulcerative colitis (UC) and celiac disease, encodes a scaffolding protein involved in epithelial integrity. Our aim was to test MAGI2 variants for association with IBD and also their role in determining intermediate hereditary phenotypes defined by antibody production to microbial antigens.MethodsWe genotyped 113 MAGI2 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 681 cases of Crohn's disease (CD), 259 UC cases, and 195 controls.ResultsThe most significant IBD association was in intron 6 (rs2160322, P = 0.009) and both UC (P = 0.006) and CD (P = 0.03) contributed to this association. The most significant CD association was with an intron 2 haplotype (rs7785088/rs323149/rs13246026, P = 0.002). We observed highly significant associations with UC in intron 6 (rs7803276/rs7803705, P = 0.002) and also significant associations in introns 2, 6, and 20. Significant associations were seen with: immunoglobulin G (IgG) anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibodies (ASCA)-positive CD in intron 3 (P = 0.003), intron 6 (P = 0.003), and intron 20 (P = 0.001); anti-CBir1-positive CD in intron 3 (P = 0.0001) and intron 6 (P = 0.008); and anti-outer membrane porin C (OmpC)-positive CD in intron 3 (P = 0.0009), and intron 9 (P = 0.007). Quantitative antibody levels were also associated with variants in intron 4 (anti-IgA ASCA, P = 0.0003 and anti-IgG ASCA, P = 0.0002).ConclusionsThese findings support the significance of the epithelial barrier in IBD pathogenesis.
