Determination of IL-23 receptor expression and gene polymorphism (rs1884444) in Iranian patients with ankylosing spondylitis. BMC Rheumatol 2024; 8:14. [PMID: 38605394 PMCID: PMC11007996 DOI: 10.1186/s41927-024-00383-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2023] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 04/13/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Through investigating genetic variations, it has been demonstrated that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the IL-23 receptor (IL23R) gene have a critical role in the pathophysiology of ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Here, we investigated whether the IL23R variant (rs1884444) is associated with AS in the Iranian population. METHODS AND MATERIAL In this research, we analyzed rs1884444 in a group of 425 patients with AS and 400 matched controls. For DNA extraction, the phenol/chloroform technique was utilized. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were obtained from the whole blood of 39 patients and 43 healthy controls and total RNA was extracted. Genotyping was performed by amplification-refractory mutation system (ARMS)-PCR method. Afterward, the expression level of IL23R was analyzed by the real-time quantitative (Q)-PCR method. RESULTS We observed no significant association between the distribution of alleles and genotypes of rs1884444 and susceptibility to AS. In addition, the expression level of IL23R did not differ between PBMCs from AS patients compared to the control group (P = 0.167). Furthermore, the relative expression level of IL23R was positively correlated with the BASDAI (P < 0.01) and BASFI (P < 0.05) scores of the patients. CONCLUSION It appears that IL23R polymorphism (rs1884444) and the level of gene expression might not contribute to the susceptibility to AS in the Iranian population. The correlation of IL23R expression with the level of BASDAI and BASFI scores in patients may be due to the role of the IL-23/IL-23R signaling cascade in inflammation and exert a critical role in the development of AS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Considering the possible roles of interleukin-23 receptor (IL-23R) gene in the pathogenesis of juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus (JSLE), the objective of this study was to elucidate whether polymorphisms of the IL23R are associated with susceptibility to JSLE in an Iranian population. MATERIALS AND METHODS A case-control study on 62 patients with JSLE and 78 healthy controls was performed to investigate the associations of four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in IL-23R gene, namely, rs7517847, rs10489629, rs11209026, and rs1343151, with susceptibility to JSLE, using real-time polymerase chain reaction Taqman genotyping technique. RESULTS Analysis of allele and genotype frequency of four selected SNPs revealed statistically significant positive association between homozygous variant of rs7517847 (TT) (P, 0.02) and T allele at the same position (P, 0.01) with JSLE vulnerability. There was no significant association between other evaluated SNPs and JSLE susceptibility. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that particular IL-23R gene variants could affect individual susceptibility to JSLE.

Abstract
As a key element in the T-helper 17 (Th17) cell-mediated inflammatory process, interleukin-23 receptor (IL-23R) may play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in IL-23R have been studied in several diseases. However, its association with coronary artery disease (CAD) remains unclear. This study examined whether genetic polymorphisms in IL-23R were associated with susceptibility to CAD. Two IL-23R SNPs, rs1884444 and rs6682925, were genotyped in 462 CAD patients and 486 healthy controls. Data showed that percentages of rs6682925TC and CC genotypes were significantly higher in patients than in controls (odds ratio [OR]=1.23, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.04-1.79, p=0.022; OR=2.35, 95% CI: 1.52-3.43, p<0.001, respectively). Frequency of the rs1884444 polymorphism did not reveal any significant differences between patients and healthy donors. Further analyses demonstrated a significantly increased number of rs6682925CC genotype in patients with hypertension. Moreover, we investigated the effect of IL-23R polymorphisms on gene expression by assessing mRNA level of IL-23R in peripheral blood mononucleated cells (PBMCs). Results showed that subjects carrying rs6682925TC and CC genotypes had significantly increased mRNA level of IL-23R in PBMCs than those with TT genotype. These data suggest that IL-23R rs6682925T/C polymorphism may act as a risk factor of CAD.
