Evaluation of genetic polymorphisms in TNF‑α‑308G/A rs1800629 associated with susceptibility and severity of rheumatoid arthritis: A systematic review and meta‑analysis. Exp Ther Med 2024; 28:279. [PMID: 38800041 PMCID: PMC11117118 DOI: 10.3892/etm.2024.12567] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2023] [Accepted: 04/15/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024] Open
Abstract
To investigate the association of gene polymorphisms of TNF-α-308G/A rs1800629 with the susceptibility and severity of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), literature from PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science and CNKI databases was searched. Two authors screened the literature independently, extracted data and evaluated the risk of bias of the included studies. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, five genetic models were established: The allelic model (A vs. G), dominant model (GA + AA vs. GG), recessive model (AA vs. GG + GA), co-dominant model (AA vs. GG) and super-dominant model (GG + AA vs. GA). Stata 17.0 software was used for the meta-analysis. A total of 34 eligible studies with 12,611 subjects were included, including 6,030 cases in the RA group and 6,581 controls. Meta-analysis calculations revealed that the genetic polymorphisms of TNF-α-308G/A rs1800629 were not significantly associated with susceptibility to RA, with an odds ratio and 95% confidence interval (CI) for each genetic model [A vs. G: 0.937 (0.762-1.152); GA + AA vs. GG: 0.918 (0.733-1.148); AA vs. GG + GA: 1.131 (0.709-1.802); AA vs. GG: 1.097 (0.664-1.813); and GG + AA vs. GA: 1.108 (0.894-1.373)]. For the association between TNF-α-308G/A rs1800629 gene polymorphisms and the severity of RA, the results of subgroup analysis calculations showed that TNF-α-308G/A rs1800629 gene polymorphisms were associated with the severity of RA in European populations, with the gene model and 95% CI [GA + AA vs. GG: 0.503 (0.297-0.853); and GG + AA vs. GA: 2.268 (1.434-3.590)]. When assessing the confidence in the positive results of the present study through the false-positive report probability, the positive results were observed to be reliable. No significant association was observed between genetic polymorphisms in TNF-α-308G/A rs1800629 and susceptibility to RA. However, a significant association exists with the severity of RA in European populations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease with chronic inflammation. Its pathogenesis involves immunological, genetic, and environmental factors. We investigate the association between Tumor Necrosis Factor α Protein 3 (TNFAIP3), Interleukin 10 (IL10), Tumor Necrosis Factor α (TNF α), and Interleukin 17 F (IL17F) polymorphisms with susceptibility to RA. METHODS AND RESULTS 191 patients with RA diagnosed according to the American College of Rheumatology (ACR)/ European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) classification and 190 healthy subjects were recruited. Rheumatoid factor (RF), anti-citrullinated peptide antibodies (ACPA), and C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured. Genotyping of the polymorphisms was performed by real-time PCR. Analysis of the allelic frequencies of TNFAIP3 showed a positive association OR (95% CI) = 1.46 (1.01-2.09); p = 0.04, but failed to meet the criteria of significance after Bonferroni Correction. The genotypic and allelic distribution of the IL10, IL17F, and TNFα showed no significant difference when comparing the RA group with controls. Furthermore, the genotype codominant model shows a moderate positive association in the presence of ACPA (OR (95% CI) = 2.82 (1.22-6.24); p = 0.01. None of the polymorphisms studied was associated with RF and CRP production. CONCLUSION Our results show that there is a tendency for the AG genotype of IL10-1082 to be associated with the production of ACPA in patients with RA. None of the variants studied were associated with RA susceptibility in Algerians.

Abstract
PURPOSE The present study aimed to explore the potential components and mechanisms of Rhodiola rosea-Euonymus alatus drug pair (TY) that ameliorate rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS The main active components, core targets, and important pathways of TY against RA were predicted by network pharmacology analysis. The binding activity between the main active components and the core targets was verified by the molecular docking technique. Collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) rat model and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α-induced fibroblast-like synovial cells in human RA (HFLS-RA) model were established, respectively. The core targets were verified by cell counting kit-8 assay, hematoxylin eosin, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, real-time polymerase chain reaction, and Western blot analysis, and the therapeutic effect of TY was evaluated. RESULTS A total of 18 possible components and 34 core targets were obtained by network pharmacology, among which inflammatory response, phosphatidylinositide 3-kinases (PI3K)-AKT and MAPK pathways were involved in the therapeutic effect of TY on RA. The results of molecular docking showed that kaempferol and quercetin had high binding affinity to interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)9, and TNF-α. In vivo and in vitro experiments showed that TY dose-dependently inhibited the proliferation of HFLS-RA cells induced by TNF-α, and significantly reduced the paw swelling and arthritis scores in CIA rats. At the same time, TY inhibited the production of inflammatory factors in CIA rat serum and TNF-α-induced HFLS-RA cells. It also decreased the expression of PI3K, phospho-protein kinase B, MMP1, MMP3, MMP9, and increased the protein and mRNA levels of tissue inhibitors of MMPs (TIMP)1 in synovial tissue. CONCLUSION TY can inhibit the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and regulate the balance between MMPs and TIMP, thus playing a therapeutic role in RA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is considered to be a complex immune-mediated neuropathy. In the past few years, numerous studies were performed to detect the association between genetic polymorphisms and GBS risk. However, the findings of these studies were controversial. Thus, we conducted this field synopsis and systematic meta-analysis for further evaluating the possible associations between all available genetic polymorphisms and GBS susceptibility. METHODS Relevant studies focusing on the association between all genetic polymorphisms and GBS risk were obtained by a comprehensive literature search. The pooled odds ratios (ORs) as well as 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used for assessing the strength of association. Subgroup analyses stratified by ethnicity and GBS subtype were further performed. Moreover, sensitive analysis and publication bias were conducted for evaluating the reliability of the results. RESULTS Among the initial identified 333 articles, 41 articles reporting on 220 genetic polymorphisms were extracted for conducting this systematic review. Then, we performed 95 primary and 94 subgroup meta-analyses for 59 variants with at least three independent studies available. The results showed significant association between four variants (FcγR IIA rs1801274, TNF-α rs1800629, HLA DRB1*0401 and HLA DRB1*1301) and GBS susceptibility. In the subgroup analysis, three (TNF-α rs1800629, TNF-α rs1800630 and TLR4 rs4986790) and two (FcγR IIA rs1801274, HLA DRB1*14) variants showed association with increased GBS risk in Asian and Caucasian population, respectively. Also, TNF-α rs1800629 was significant associated with AMAN subtypes of GBS. Furthermore, sensitivity analysis, funnel plots and Egger's test displayed robust results, except for FcγR IIA rs1801274. Additionally, for 161 variants with less than three studies, 17 genetic variants have been found to be significantly related with GBS risk in our systematic review. INTERPRETATION In our study, we assessed the association between all available genetic polymorphisms and GBS susceptibility. We hope our findings would be helpful for identifying novel genetic biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets for GBS.

Abstract
Infants who are born premature can have persistent apnea beyond term gestation, reemergence of apnea associated with inflammation during infancy, increased risk of sudden unexplained death, and sleep disorder breathing during infancy and childhood. The autonomic nervous system, particularly the central neural networks that control breathing and peripheral and central chemoreceptors and mechanoreceptors that modulate the activity of the central respiratory network, are rapidly developing during the last trimester (22-37 weeks gestation) of fetal life. With advances in neonatology, in well-resourced, developed countries, infants born as young as 23 weeks gestation can survive. Thus, a substantial part of maturation of central and peripheral systems that control breathing occurs ex-utero in infants born at the limit of viability. The balance of excitatory and inhibitory influences dictates the ultimate output from the central respiratory network. We propose in this review that simply being born early in the last trimester can trigger homeostatic plasticity within the respiratory network tipping the balance toward inhibition that persists in infancy. We discuss the intersection of premature birth, homeostatic plasticity and biological mechanisms leading to respiratory depression during inflammation in former premature infants.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) plays an important role in
autoimmune diseases. Previous studies have investigated the association of
TNF-α-238G/A (rs361525) and -308G/A
(rs1800629) polymorphisms with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus
erythematosus (SLE). However, no agreed conclusion had been made. Therefore,
this meta-analysis was conducted to assess the associations of
TNF-α-238G/A and -308G/A polymorphisms
with RA and SLE risk. A systematic search was conducted in commonly used
databases. Meta-analysis was performed by STATA12.0. A total of 43 studies were
included. In the overall population, the TNF-α-238A allele was
observed to be a protective factor for RA (A vs G: OR=0.75,
95%CI=0.57–0.99, P=0.040) and the TNF-α-308A allele was found
to be a risk factor for SLE (A vs G: OR=1.78, 95%CI=1.45–2.19,
P<0.001). However, no evidence of association was found between
TNF-α-238 G/A polymorphism and SLE nor between -308G/A and
RA. In the subgroup analysis, TNF-α-308A allele played a
pathogenic role for RA in Latin Americans (A vs G: OR=1.46,
95%CI=1.15–1.84, P=0.002) and for SLE in Latin Americans (A vs
G: OR=2.12, 95%CI=1.32–3.41, P=0.002) and Europeans (A vs G:
OR=2.03, 95%CI=1.56–2.63, P<0.001), while it played a protective role for RA
in Asians (A vs G: OR=0.54, 95%CI=0.32–0.90, P=0.017). No
significant association was found between TNF-α-308G/A and SLE
susceptibility in Africans and Asians. This meta-analysis demonstrated that
TNF-α-238A was associated with decreased risk of RA rather
than SLE, while -308G/A polymorphism was associated with SLE
rather than RA. Stratification analysis indicated that different ethnicities
would have different risk alleles.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology. IL-10 stimulates B cell survival and is involved in antibody isotype switching. The serum IL-10 levels are increased in RA patients. Ethnicity influences polymorphisms in cytokine genes. Therefore, this study was designed to explore possible association, if any, between polymorphism of IL10-1082 A/G, serum cytokine levels, inflammatory markers and gene expression in RA patients of North India. METHODOLOGY A total of 187 RA patients classified according to American college of rheumatology 2010 criteria and 214 controls were included in the study. Levels of serum IL-10 and inflammatory markers were estimated by ELISA. PCR-RFLP was used to analyze IL10-1082 A/G polymorphism. Quantitative real time PCR was used to measure the mRNA expression of IL-10 gene. RESULTS The serum inflammatory markers were significantly higher in RA patients. Circulating IL-10 levels were positively and significantly correlated with RF (r = 0.28), anti-CCP (r = 0.26), CRP (r = 0.17) and mRNA expression levels (r = 0.59) among RA patients. Homozygous mutant variant (GG) and heterozygous mutant variant (AG) were associated with patients of RA (OR = 2.87 and 1.55, p < 0.05) as compared to controls. The association still persisted when the heterozygous and homozygous mutants (AG + GG) were clubbed together (OR = 1.67, p < 0.05). The mRNA expression of IL-10 was found to be 3.63 folds higher (housekeeping gene, β-actin) and 2.42 folds higher (housekeeping gene, 18S rRNA) in RA patients as compared to controls. CONCLUSION The results indicate that IL10-1082 A/G polymorphism is associated with genetic susceptibility/predisposition to RA in North Indian population.
