The forkhead box protein P3 gene rs3761548 promoter polymorphism confers a genetic contribution to the risk of preeclampsia: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Cytokine 2023; 164:156164. [PMID: 36842371 DOI: 10.1016/j.cyto.2023.156164] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2021] [Revised: 10/18/2022] [Accepted: 02/06/2023] [Indexed: 02/27/2023]
Abstract
Various studies have investigated the risk of preeclampsia with the forkhead box protein P3 (FOXP3) gene rs2232365 and rs3761548 polymorphisms. However, the results remained contradictory. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using the Cochrane Library, PubMed, and Web of Science (up to Oct 11, 2021). Meta-analysis was carried out in the R language environment for statistical computing and graphics. A fixed-effect or random-effects model was used according to the statistical significance of heterogeneity among included studies. The pooled odds ratios and corresponding 95% confidence intervals were calculated to estimate the strength of the effect. For the rs2232365 polymorphism, statistical significance was detected neither in the overall population nor among the East Asian and West Asian subgroups. However, for rs3761548, the summarized statistics revealed a significant association between the C allele carriage and preeclampsia risk in the homozygote, heterozygote, and dominant models. The further stratified analysis found this effect might be specific to West-South Asian ethnic subgroups. To sum up, this meta-analysis showed that the FOXP3 rs3761548 polymorphism was significantly associated with preeclampsia susceptibility, and it had a deleterious effect especially in the West-South Asian population. In contrast, rs2232365 may serve as neither a protective nor a risk factor for preeclampsia onset.

Impacts of single nucleotide polymorphisms in Fc gamma receptor IIA (rs1801274) on lung transplant outcomes among Japanese lung transplant recipients. Transpl Int 2021; 34:2192-2204. [PMID: 34255889 DOI: 10.1111/tri.13974] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2020] [Revised: 06/17/2021] [Accepted: 07/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
This study aimed to analyze the influences of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in Fc gamma receptor IIA (FCGR2A) on postoperative outcomes after lung transplantation (LTx). We enrolled 191 lung transplant recipients (80 undergoing living-donor lobar lung transplants [LDLLTs] and 111 undergoing deceased-donor lung transplants [DDLTs]) in this study. We identified SNPs in FCGR2A (131 histidine [H] or arginine [R]; rs1801274) and reviewed the infectious complication-free survival after ICU discharge. The SNPs in FCGR2A comprised H/H (n=53), H/R (n=24), and R/R (n=3) in LDLLT, and H/H (n=67), H/R (n=42), and R/R (n=2) in DDLT. Recipients with H/H (H/H group) and those with H/R or R/R (R group) were compared in the analyses of infectious complications. In multivariate analyses, the R group of SNPs in FCGR2A was associated with pneumonia-free survival (HR: 2.52 [95% confidence interval {CI}: 1.35-4.71], p=0.004), fungal infection-free survival (HR: 2.50 [95% CI: 1.07-5.84], p=0.035), and cytomegalovirus infection-free survival (HR: 2.24 [95% CI: 1.07-4.69], p=0.032) in LDLLT but it was not associated with infectious complication-free survival in DDLT. Therefore, in LDLLT, more attention to infectious complications might need to be paid for LTx recipients with H/R or R/R than for those with H/H.

Abstract
FOXP3 X-linked gene has crucial roles in the development and function of regulatory T cells. We investigated the association of FOXP3 rs3761548, rs3761549 and rs2294021 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) susceptibility and response to therapy. Genotyping was performed in 247 patients and 210 healthy subjects. We observed a higher frequency of rs3761548 A carriers and rs2294021 C carriers (p < 0.04) in male patients, and lower frequencies of rs3761548 AC genotype (p = 0.04) and rs2294021 CT genotype (p = 0.01) in female patients compared to controls. ACC (p = 0.04) and ATC haplotypes (p = 0.002) were associated with susceptibility to ALL. There was a significant correlation between the genotypes of rs3761548 and rs2294021 SNPs with event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS). The rs3761548 A genotype in male patients was associated with increased risk of relapse (p < 0.0001), shorter EFS, increased death rate (p = 0.002) and shorter OS compared to C genotype (p = 0.001). Similar significant results were observed for the relation of rs2294021 C genotype with response to therapy in male patients. In females, patients with rs3761548 AC genotype had longer EFS (p = 0.02) and those with rs2294021 CT had longer EFS and OS (p < 0.005). According to haplotype analysis, patients carrying ACC or ATC haplotypes had the highest number of WBCs and shorter EFS or OS, and patients with CCT haplotype had the lowest number of WBCs and longer EFS or OS. These results provided evidence for the impact of these polymorphisms on susceptibility and response to therapy in children with ALL.

Abstract
The liver exhibits intrinsic immune regulatory properties that maintain tolerance to endogenous and exogenous antigens, and provide protection against pathogens. Such an immune privilege contributes to susceptibility to spontaneous acceptance despite major histocompatibility complex mismatch when transplanted in animal models. Furthermore, the presence of a liver allograft can suppress the rejection of other solid tissue/organ grafts from the same donor. Despite this immune privilege of the livers, to control the undesired alloimmune responses in humans, most liver transplant recipients require long-term treatment with immune-suppressive drugs that predispose to cardiometabolic side effects and renal insufficiency. Understanding the mechanism of liver transplant tolerance and crosstalk between a variety of hepatic immune cells, such as dendritic cells, Kupffer cells, liver sinusoidas endothelial cells, hepatic stellate cells and so on, and alloreactive T cells would lead to the development of strategies for deliberate induction of more specific immune tolerance in a clinical setting. In this review article, we focus on results derived from basic studies that have attempted to elucidate the immune modulatory mechanisms of liver constituent cells and clinical trials that induced immune tolerance after liver transplantation by utilizing the immune-privilege potential of the liver.

Abstract
Although, liver transplantation serves as the only curative treatment for patients with end-stage liver diseases, it is burdened with complications, which affect survival rates. In addition to clinical risk factors, contribution of recipient and donor genetic prognostic markers has been extensively studied in order to reduce the burden and improve the outcomes. Determination of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) is one of the most important tools in development of personalized transplant approach. To provide a better insight in recent developments, we review the studies published in the last three years that investigated an association of recipient or donor SNPs with most common issues in liver transplantation: Acute cellular rejection, development of new-onset diabetes mellitus and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence, and tacrolimus concentration variability. Reviewed studies confirmed previously established SNP prognostic factors, such as PNPLA3 rs738409 for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease development, or the role of CYP3A5 rs776746 in tacrolimus concentration variability. They also identified several novel SNPs, with a reasonably strong association, which have the potential to become useful predictors of post-transplant complications. However, as the studies were typically conducted in one center on relatively low-to-moderate number of patients, verification of the results in other centers is warranted to resolve these limitations. Furthermore, of 29 reviewed studies, 28 used gene candidate approach and only one implemented a genome wide association approach. Genome wide association multicentric studies are needed to facilitate the development of personalized transplant medicine.

Abstract
The single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs4794067, rs2275806, rs2232365, and rs3761548 map in the genes of TBX21, GATA3, and FOXP3 involved in mediating acute cellular rejection. We investigated whether these SNPs are associated with acute cellular liver transplant rejection. The SNPs were analyzed in recipients with early acute cellular rejection (n = 97), recipients with late acute cellular rejection (n = 49), and recipients without rejection (n = 149). There was no association between acute cellular rejection and SNPs rs4794067, rs2275806, and rs2232365. In contrast, the allele -3279A of FOXP3 SNP rs3761548 exhibited a higher frequency in recipients with late acute cellular rejection as compared with recipients without rejection. This result indicates that the allele -3279A of the SNP rs3761548 may predispose to the development of late acute cellular rejection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND IL-35 modulates immune and inflammatory responses during infections. Here, we investigated IL-35 levels and a single nucleotide polymorphism, rs3761548, in FOXP3 gene in Helicobacter pylori-infected patients with peptic ulcer (PU), to clarify possible associations. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study includes 100 H. pylori-infected PU patients, 100 H. pylori-infected asymptomatic subjects (AS), and 100 noninfected healthy subjects (NHSs). Serum IL-35 levels and the genotyping were determined using ELISA and RFLP-PCR methods, respectively. RESULTS In PU patients, the IL-35 levels were lower than AS and NHS groups (P < .001). The IL-35 levels in CagA+ H. pylori-infected participants from PU and AS groups were lower than individuals infected with CagA- strains (P < .02 and P < .04, respectively). Women had higher IL-35 levels than men among PU, AS, and NHS groups (P < .0001). In PU patients, AA genotype and A allele at rs3761548 were more frequent than total healthy subjects (AS + NHS groups) and associated with an increased PU risk (AA genotype: OR = 5.51, P < .0001; A allele: OR = 3.857, P < .002). In PU and AS groups, IL-35 levels were lower in subjects displaying AA genotype or A allele than subjects displaying CC genotype or C allele, respectively (P < .0001 and P < .03 for PU patients; P < .001 and P < .02 for AS group, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Decreased IL-35 levels could be involved in PU development in H. pylori-infected individuals. IL-35 levels are affected by CagA status of H. pylori, participants gender, and genetic variations at rs3761548. The AA genotype and A allele at rs3761548 could represent a risk factor for PU development.
