Immune gene polymorphisms associated with poor response to platelet transfusion and recombinant factor VII administration in Glanzmann thrombasthenia. Haemophilia 2024; 30:752-764. [PMID: 38439143 DOI: 10.1111/hae.14971] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2023] [Revised: 01/14/2024] [Accepted: 01/17/2024] [Indexed: 03/06/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Poor response to platelet and recombinant factor VII administration is a major problem in patients with Glanzmann Thrombasthenia (GT). The risk factors associated with poor response to treatment in these patients are unknown. Some genetic variations of cytokines may contribute to therapy resistance. AIMS We evaluated, for the first time, whether genetic polymorphisms on cytokine genes are related to poor treatment response in GT patients. METHODS We enrolled 30 patients with GT (15 resistant and 15 non-resistant) and 100 healthy controls. Gene polymorphisms of IL-10 and TNF-α were analysed using TaqMan Realtime PCR, and IL-1, IL-1R1 and IL-1RN were investigated with the RFLP method. In-silico analyses were performed to predict the potential impact of these polymorphisms. RESULTS In the resistant group, all patients had a variant of the IL-10 gene at the -1082 position (rs1800896), with a GG genotype that was significantly more frequent than the non-resistant group. Analysis between healthy controls and GT patients revealed a probable correlation between rs3783550, rs3783553, rs3917356 and rs2234463 and GT. The In-silico study indicated that TNF-α rs1800629 and IL-10 rs1800896 polymorphisms result in different allelic expressions which may contribute to poor response to therapy. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that polymorphisms in the IL-10 and IL-1 receptor antagonist genes may play a role in poor therapy response in GT patients. In addition, some polymorphisms in IL-1α, IL1-β, IL-1R1 and IL-R antagonists might be involved in the GT progression.

Abstract
Background Scientific evidence support that imbalance between inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines play a critical role in preeclampsia (PE). Objective To investigate the relationship between the maternal serum level of interleukin (IL)-23, a pro-inflammatory cytokine, PE and its severity risk was investigated. Materials and Methods The case-control study included a total of 145 women counting 75 PE cases, 35 healthy pregnant and 35 healthy non-pregnant controls from Zahedan, southeast of Iran. The maternal levels of IL-23 in circulation were determined via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results The maternal serum levels of IL-23 were increased in PE and its 2 subgroups severe PE and mild PE, so that these increases were significant in PE and severe PE, but not in mild PE compared with the controls (p < 0.001 and p < 0.001, p = 0.08, respectively). Besides, the maternal IL-23 serum level was statically significant in the early onset PE, but not in the late onset-PE group compared to healthy pregnant controls (p < 0.001, p = 0.46 respectively). Conclusion The results of our study showed a positive association between IL-23 level and PE, especially in severe type and early onset PE, which suggests that IL-23 may be involved in the pathogenesis of this systemic syndrome.

Abstract
It is well-known that functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in IL-12B gene might intensely change the protein expression level, or modify its functions, which might result in immune disorders. The association between common IL-12B SNPs with preeclampsia (PE) risk has remained unclear yet. In a case-control study, 253 PE patients and 250 healthy subjects were genotyped for SNPs in IL-12B rs3212227 by PCR-RFLP and in IL-12B rs6887695 by AS-PCR. Novel in-silico analysis were performed to predict the potential functions of these polymorphisms, as well. The rs3212227 variation in IL12B gene showed an association with susceptibility to PE. The AC and CC genotypes and also C allele of this SNP were more frequent in patients. Likewise, they were frequent in early onset and late onset PE. The G allele and GC and CC genotype of rs6887695 SNP correlated negatively with PE development and it shown protective effect on PE risk. In addition, the AG and CC haplotypes of IL-12B were more prevalent in PE patients. Then, IL12B AC haplotype was less frequent in PE compare to healthy pregnant women. In-silico analysis of IL-12B rs3212227 gene polymorphism might not have significant impact on the mRNA structure and transcription of IL-12B. The results of our study revealed a significant relationship between rs3212227A/C and rs6887695G/C polymorphisms in IL-12B gene and the risk of PE in the Iranian population.

Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the link between two variants (rs4705342 and rs4705343) in the promoter of the miR-143/145 cluster with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) risk. Methods:A total of 1200 subjects were genotyped using the ARMS-PCR method. Results: The rs4705342 variant enhanced the risk of T2DM under codominant CC (OR = 3.24; 95% CI: 1.89-5.60), recessive TT+TC (OR = 3.02; 95% CI: 1.77-5.17), and dominant TC+CC (OR = 1.35; 95% CI: 1.08-1.71) genetic models. Individuals carrying the C allele of rs4705342 conferred a 1.43 fold increased risk of T2DM. As regards rs4705343, decreased risk of T2DM was observed under codominant TC (OR = 0.53; 95% CI: 0.42-0.67), over-dominant TT+CC (OR = 0.51; 95% CI: 0.40-0.64), and dominant TC+CC (OR = 0.59; 95% CI: 0.48-0.75) models. Haplotype analysis of the variants showed a 1.941-fold increased risk of T2DM regarding the C T combination. Significant associations were noticed between different haplotypes and lipid indices of T2DM patients. There were no notable changes in p-values after adjustment for BMI. Computational analysis revealed that miR143 and/or miR145 target important genes involved in glucose and lipid metabolism. Conclusions: Functional miR-143/145 variants might influence the risk of T2DM. Hence, clarifying the precise regulatory mechanisms of gene expression in the development of T2DM will significantly guide researchers to find a novel target for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
PURPOSE Converging evidence has recently established the significance of γ-aminobutyric acid neurotransmitter (GABA) system in the development of schizophrenia (SCZ). We aimed to determine the association of two markers of the GABAA receptor β2 subunit gene (GABRB2), rs12187676 G/C and rs1816072 T/C, with the risk of SCZ in Iranian population. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this case-control study, 190 patients with SCZ and 200 healthy controls were recruited from December 2018 to February 2020. Genotyping was done using the Tetra-ARMS-PCR technique. In silico analyses were performed to determine the potential effects of the variants. RESULTS The C allele and genotypes of codominant CC vs.TT and CT vs.TT, dominant TT vs. TC + CC, recessive TT + TC vs. CC of rs1816072 polymorphism, as well as codominant CC vs. GG and recessive GG + GC vs. CC genetic models of rs12187676 polymorphism were significantly associated with SCZ susceptibility. Compared to the TC/GC model, we have found that the TC/CC combination significantly increased the risk of SCZ by 4.32 fold while the TT/GG combination conferred a protective role against SCZ. Haplotypes analysis indicated that GABRB2 polymorphisms are in weak linkage disequilibrium with each other (LD = 0.1). However, bioinformatics analyses predicted that these polymorphisms do not have significant effects on the secondary structure and the splicing of GABRB2-mRNA. CONCLUSIONS We found that intronic GABRB2 polymorphisms were associated with SCZ risk in a sample of the Iranian population. These findings provided proof of concept for the involvement of the GABAergic neurotransmission system in SCZ development. These observations should be validated across other ethnicities and clinical subtypes.

Abstract
Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a disorder that occurs only during pregnancy. PE is associated with neonate mortality and morbidity. Overexpression of IL-27 and its receptor have been reported frequently in the trophoblast cells of patients with PE. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between genetic polymorphisms of IL-27 rs153109, and rs17855750 in an Iranian cohort of 170 PE patients and 170 normal pregnant women using the PCR-RFLP method. In the total PE, the frequency of heterozygous and mutant homozygous genotypes of rs153109 was significantly higher, severe, and mild PE groups. The genotypes and alleles frequencies of rs17855750 gene polymorphism were associated with PE susceptibility in total, severe and early-onset sub-group patients. Haplotype analysis of IL-27 rs153109 and rs17855750 polymorphisms revealed that the mutant GG haplotype frequencies significantly increased the risk of preeclampsia in total PE and different sub-group patients, while the wild AT haplotypes were associated with decreased risk of pre-eclampsia in total and sub-group patients. The in-silico analysis showed the transition of allele A to allele G in rs153109 SNP, would lead to create a new binding site and consequently may lead to changes in IL-27 gene expression. We found that rs17855750 A>G polymorphism might be influence the function of IL-27 protein. The data attained in our study propose the incidence of IL-27rs153109 and rs17855750 SNPs might be capable to be utilized as indicators for the genetic susceptibility to PE.

The effects of placental long noncoding RNA H19 polymorphisms and promoter methylation on H19 expression in association with preeclampsia susceptibility. IUBMB Life 2019; 72:413-425. [PMID: 31769935 DOI: 10.1002/iub.2199] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2019] [Accepted: 10/28/2019] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
The effect of DNA methylation on gene expression triggered it as a susceptibility factor in various diseases including preeclampsia (PE). The pathogenesis of PE is closely associated with the methylation status and genetic variants of relevant genes. Therefore, the aim of the study was to investigate the possible impacts of the placental DNA methylation and rs3741219, rs217727, and rs2107425 polymorphisms of the H19 gene on the PE susceptibility as well as the its mRNA expression. Moreover, eight haplotypes of three loci in the H19 gene were analyzed. In this case-control study, the placentas of 107 preeclamptic and 113 non-preeclamptic women were collected after delivery. The methylation status was assessed by methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The H19 polymorphisms were genotyped using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism or amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction methods. The quantitative real time PCR was used for mRNA expression assay. The placental H19 rs3741219 and rs2107425 polymorphisms were not associated with PE. However, H19 rs217727CT and TT genotypes might be associated with a 9.2- and 17.7-fold increased risk of PE, respectively. The Trs3741219 Crs217727 Crs2107425 and Trs3741219 Crs217727 Trs2107425 haplotypes were significantly lower, whereas the Trs3741219 Trs217727 Crs2107425 and Crs3741219 Trs217727 Crs2107425 haplotypes were significantly higher in PE women. Promoter but not upstream region hypermethylation of H19 gene could be led to decreased risk of PE (MM vs. UM + UU). No significant difference was observed in the placental mRNA expression between two groups. The H19 expression was significantly higher in women with unmethylated (UU), compared to methylated promoter (MM). The H19 expression was 17- and 15-fold higher in H19-rs2107425 CC and CT genotypes in PE women. In conclusion, the H19 rs2107425 polymorphism was associated with a higher risk of PE and increased H19 mRNA expression. The promoter hypermethylation of H19 gene was associated with a lower risk of PE and decreased H19 mRNA expression.
