Association of HLA-DRB1, HLA-DQB1 Polymorphisms with HPV 16 E6 Variants among Young Cervical Cancer Patients in China.

ABSTRACT: Potential correlation of human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 E6 variants and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II polymorphisms has been suggested in patients with cervical cancer, so far little information is available about the possible interaction between E6 variants and HLA class II variability during the obviously accelerated progression to cervical cancer in young women. In this study, we aimed to explore the association between the HPV16 E6 variants and HLA-DRB1, DQB1 alleles in a Chinese young cervical cancer population. The HLA-DRB1, HLA-DQB1 polymophisms were genotyped by low-resolution polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with sequence-specific primer. HPV16 E6 DNA was tested by Sanger fluorescent dye dideoxy-termination technique. The difference of DRB1, DQB1 polymorphisms between young cervical cancer patients (≤35ys, n=61) and older ones (>35ys, n=85) and the association with E6 variants were analyzed. Results showed that the distribution pattern of HLA-DRB1, DQB1 alleles was different between young cervical cancer patients and older ones. The allele frequency of DQB1*0501 in young patients was significantly lower than older ones (6.6% vs. 23.5%, p<0.05). The HPV16 E6 A4 lineage was the exclusive type observed in young patients, and its prevalence was significantly higher than that of older cases (82.86% vs.41.94%, p<0.05). DRB1*03 was not found in young patients positive for the HPV16 E6 A4 lineage, whereas it was observed in 19.2 % older patients with A4 positive(Pc<0.05). In conclusion, specific association between certain HPV16 E6 variant and genetic polymorphisms of HLA may play a role during the progression of early onset cervical cancer in young patients. Certain HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DQB1 alleles may be related to the A4 lineage among young cervical cancer patients, which was the unique HPV16 E6 variant found in Chinese young patients. Our finding may provide an insight into the pathogenic factors that associated with cervical cancer in young women.

Project description:Multiple sclerosis (MS), a common central nervous system inflammatory disease, has a major heritable component. Susceptibility is associated with the MHC class II region, especially HLA-DRB5*0101-HLA-DRB1*1501-HLA-DQA1*0102-HLA-DQB1*0602 haplotypes(hereafter DR2), which dominate genetic contribution to MS risk. Marked linkage disequilibrium (LD) among these loci makes identification of a specific locus difficult. The once-leading candidate, HLA-DRB1*15, localizes to risk, neutral, and protective haplotypes. HLA-DRB1*15 and HLA-DQB1*0602, nearly always located together on a small ancestral chromosome segment, are strongly MS-associated. One intervening allele on this haplotype, viz. HLA-DQA1*0102, shows no primary MS association. Two Canadian cohorts (n = 830 and n = 438 trios) genotyped for HLA-DRB1, HLA-DQA1 and HLA-DQB1 alleles were tested for association using TDT. To evaluate epistasis involving HLA-DRB1*15, transmissions from HLA-DRB1*15-negative parents were stratified by the presence/absence of HLA-DRB1*15 in affected offspring. All 3 alleles contribute to MS susceptibility through novel epistatic interactions. HLA-DQA1*0102 increased disease risk when combined with HLA-DRB1*1501 in trans, thereby unambiguously implicating HLA-DQ in MS susceptibility. Three-locus haplotypes demonstrated that HLA-DRB1*1501 and HLA-DQB1*0602 each influence risk. Transmissions of rare morcellated DR2 haplotypes showed no interaction with HLA-DQA1*0102. Incomplete haplotypes bearing only HLA-DRB1*1501 or HLA-DQB1*0602 did not predispose to MS. Balanced reciprocal transmission distortion can mask epistatic allelic association. These findings implicate epistasis among HLA class II alleles in human immune responses generally, provide partial explanation for intense linkage disequilibrium in the MHC, have relevance to animal models, and demonstrate key roles for DR2-specific interactions in MS susceptibility. MHC disease associations may be more generally haplotypic or diplotypic.

Project description:Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) was recently demonstrated to be the most frequent form of adult-onset autoimmune diabetes mellitus. Case-control studies have investigated the relationship between human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DQB1 and HLA-DRB1 polymorphisms and LADA risk, but their conclusions are inconsistent. This study aimed to more precisely explore the correlation between these HLA gene variants and LADA development. Eight databases, including PubMed, Embase, and Medline, were systematically searched for relevant studies up to September 15, 2018. We performed this retrospective study using meta-analysis and relative predispositional effect (RPE) methods. The meta-analysis results indicated that DQB1*02 (odds ratio (OR) = 1.685, pc < 0.005) and DQB1*06 (OR = 0.604, pc = 0.010) have opposite effects on susceptibility to LADA, while a significant decrease in LADA risk caused by DQB1*05 (OR = 0.764, pc = 0.100) disappeared upon Bonferroni correction. The RPE method confirmed the roles of DQB1*02 (χ² = 46.475, p < 0.001) and DQB1*06 (χ² = 17.883, p < 0.001) and further suggested protective effects of DQB1*05 (χ² = 16.496, p < 0.001). Additionally, the meta-analysis results showed that DRB1*03 (OR = 2.685, pc < 0.013), DRB1*04 (OR = 1.954, pc < 0.013), and DRB1*09 (OR = 1.346, pc < 0.013) are associated with increased LADA risk, while DRB1*12 (OR = 0.600, pc < 0.013) and DRB1*13 (OR = 0.583, pc < 0.013) carriers have a decreased risk of developing LADA. Furthermore, the RPE method revealed that DRB1*03 (χ² = 98.754, p < 0.001), DRB1*04 (χ² = 94.685, p < 0.001), DRB1*09 (χ² = 40.489, p < 0.001), DRB1*01 (χ² = 12.181, p < 0.001), DRB1*07 (χ² = 10.882, p = 0.001), and DRB1*08 (χ² = 5.000, p = 0.025) play protective roles against LADA. LADA showed a close relationship with genetic polymorphisms of HLA-DQB1 and WHLA-DRB1, which could contribute to a better understanding of disease pathogenesis and the identification of predisposing loci in the diagnosis and treatment of LADA.
