J Pers Med 2021; 11:jpm11050329. [PMID: 33922216 PMCID: PMC8146671 DOI: 10.3390/jpm11050329] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2020] [Revised: 02/11/2021] [Accepted: 04/20/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Total serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) is elevated in multiple allergic diseases and is considered a good predictor of atopy. Several studies have been performed on the association of IgE levels with the polymorphism of the ADAM33 gene in asthmatic patients. The aim of this study was to determine whether there is an association between IgE levels and the genetic polymorphisms of the ADAM33 gene (T1, T2, T + 1, V4, S1, S2, and Q-1) in both healthy and asthmatic patients among Jordanians. The clinical data were collected for this case–control study from 267 asthmatic patients and 225 control subjects. Seven genetic polymorphisms (T1, T2, T + 1, V4, S1, S2, and Q-1) of the gene ADAM33 were analyzed using the polymerase chain reaction/restriction fragment length polymorphism method. The minor alleles (G) of T1, (A) of T2, T + 1, and (G) of V4 polymorphisms were associated with a significant increase in total serum IgE levels in adults but not children. The V4 genetic polymorphism, however, showed a significant association with IgE levels in both adults and children. The S1 polymorphism was significantly associated with the codominant module only in the adults. The S2 polymorphism showed a significant association (p-value < 0.05) in both codominant and recessive models. However, in the dominant model for both pediatric control and asthmatic patients, the association between the IgE and S2 polymorphism was insignificant (p-value = 0.7271 and 0.5259, respectively). This study found a statistically significant association between multiple ADAM33 genetic polymorphisms and IgE levels. Such findings add to the growing evidence that the ADAM33 gene has a major impact on IgE levels among asthmatic patients of Jordanian origin.

[PMID: 26619918 DOI: 10.1016/j.aller.2015.05.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2015] [Revised: 05/13/2015] [Accepted: 05/26/2015] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND It has been reported that ADAM33 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain 33) polymorphisms might be associated with susceptibility to allergic rhinitis (AR). OBJECTIVE Owing to mixed and inconclusive results, we conducted a meta-analysis to systematically summarise and clarify the association between ADAM33 S2, V4, T1, T2 and T+1 polymorphisms and AR risk. METHODS/RESULTS A systematic search of studies on the association of ADAM33 polymorphisms with susceptibility to AR was conducted in Pubmed and Embase. A total of five case-control studies with 1251 patients and 1634 controls were included. Meta-analysis indicated an association between the ADAM33 S2 and AR in allele comparison (G/C:OR=1.40, 95% CI 1.08-1.82, P=0.012), heterozygote comparison ( CG/CC OR=1.24, 95% CI 1.04-1.48, P=0.015), and dominant comparison (CG+GG/CC:OR=1.39, 95% CI 1.05-1.85, P=0.023). The meta-analysis also revealed an association between the ADAM33 V4 and AR in allele comparison (G/C:OR=1.67, 95% CI 1.01-2.75, P=0.044). However, no association was found between AR and the ADAM33 T1, T2 and T+1 polymorphisms in any gene model comparison. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis demonstrates that the ADAM33 S2 and V4 polymorphisms confer susceptibility to AR. However, these results should be interpreted with caution due to limited sample and heterogeneity. Large-scale and well-designed studies are needed to validate our findings.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to explore the associations of genetic variants in the ADAM33 and TGF-β1 genes with the risk of childhood asthma. A total of 299 asthmatic children and 311 healthy controls were recruited in the hospital-based case-control study. The asthmatic subjects were further divided into mild and severe groups according to disease severity. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) at ADAM33 V4, T2, S2 and T1, and TGF-β1 C-509T and T869C were selected and detected with PCR-RFLP. The associations of the SNPs with asthma risk and severity were analyzed. The associations between the haplotypes of ADAM33 and TGF-β1 were also evaluated. Compared with the GG genotype, the GC and CC genotypes at V4 were associated with an increased asthma risk in children and the ORs were 2.92 and 10.56, respectively. Compared with the CC genotype, the CT/TT genotype at C-509T was associated with an increased asthma risk and the OR was 2.26. Subsequent to stratification by asthma severity, compared with the V4 GG genotype, it was found that the CG and CC genotypes were associated with a mild asthma risk and the ORs were 3.00 and 5.99, respectively. The SNP at C-509T (CT/TT vs. CC) was associated with mild asthma (OR=2.34), whereas a marginally significant association was detected between the SNP (CT/TT vs. CC) and severe asthma risk (OR=2.19). The haplotype analysis revealed that, compared with the GGCA haplotype of ADAM33, significant associations of the haplotypes of CGCG, CGGA, GACA, GACG and GAGA with asthma risk were observed, and the ORs were 31.12, 12.24, 4.73, 30.85 and 4.83, respectively. No significant association was detected between the TGF-β1 haplotypes and asthma risk. The genetic variants at V4 and C-509T had the potential to modify the childhood asthma risk and the associations showed no notable difference with the disease severity. Thus, ADAM33 haplotypes provided more useful information in the prediction of asthma risk.

Abstract
Background The ADAM33 gene has been identified as a potentially important asthma candidate gene and polymorphisms in this gene have been shown to be associated with asthma and seasonal allergic rhinitis. Objective To assess whether the ADAM33 polymorphisms are associated with persistent allergic rhinitis (PER) due to house dust mites in a Chinese population. Methods In a hospital-based case-control study of 515 patients with mite-sensitized PER and 495 healthy controls, we genotyped seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in ADAM33. Serum levels of eosinophil cationic protein, total IgE and allergen-specific IgE against Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and Dermatophagoides farinae were measured by the ImmunoCAP assays. Results In the single-locus analysis, three polymorphisms, rs3918392 (F1), rs528557 (S2) and rs2787093, were significantly associated with mite-sensitized PER. SNP S2 was associated with significantly increased risk both of asthmatic and nonasthmatic mite-sensitized PER. In the combined genotypes analysis, individuals with 2–4 risk alleles had a significantly higher risk of mite-sensitized PER (adjusted OR = 1.99, 95% CI = 1.50–2.62) than those with 0–1 risk alleles. Haplotype-based association analysis revealed that the ACAGCCT haplotype might have potential to protect against mite-sensitized PER (adjusted OR = 0.67; 95% CI = 0.49–0.90). Conclusions Polymorphisms in the ADAM33 gene may contribute to susceptibility of mite-sensitized PER in this Chinese population.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION ADAM33 is the candidate gene most commonly associated with asthma and airway hyperreactivity (AHR). AIM The aim of this study was to determine whether level of AHR is associated with certain alleles or haplotypes of the ADAM33 gene in asthmatic children. METHODS One hundred and nine asthmatic children and 46 controls from the general population were examined with spirometry before and after histamine and methacholine inhalation. All subjects were genotyped for single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the ADAM33 gene. Haplotypes were determined according to genotypes of the patient's parents. RESULTS We found the three most frequent ADAM33 haplotypes (a1-3) were associated with the highest level of AHR to methacholine and histamine in 66% of asthmatic children. The paternally transmitted GGGCTTTCGCA haplotype was seen in 73.3% asthmatic children with serious AHR to methacholine challenge (paternal and maternal origin of haplotype 73.3% to 37.5, P=0.046) Significant differences in the relative frequency of paternal haplotypes with high levels of AHR to histamine were found (P=0.013). CONCLUSION ADAM33 haplotypes (a1, a2, a3) are associated with severity of AHR and are significantly more often transmitted in the paternal line.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine whether ADAM33 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain 33) polymorphisms confer susceptibility to asthma in different populations. METHODS We performed a meta-analysis on the association between the ADAM33 S2, ST+4, F+1, S1, and V4 polymorphisms and asthma. RESULTS Thirteen studies in ten reports, which included 4942 patients and 7933 controls, were available for the meta-analysis. Meta-analysis stratified by ethnicity indicated an association between the ADAM33 S2 2 allele and asthma in Europeans (OR=0.912, 95% CI=0.851-0.977, p=0.009). Meta-analysis revealed an association between asthma and the ADAM33 ST+4 2 allele (OR=0.783, 95% CI=0.762-0.999, p=0.048). Stratification by ethnicity indicated an association between the ADAM33 ST+4 polymorphism and asthma in Asians. Stratification by age indicated an association between the ADAM33 ST+4 2 allele and asthma in adults (OR=0.863, 95% CI=0.782-0.964, p=0.008). However, no association was found between asthma and the ADAM33 F+1, S1, and V4 polymorphisms. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis demonstrates that the ADAM33 S2 polymorphism confers susceptibility to asthma in Europeans and the ADAM33 ST+4 polymorphism is associated with asthma in Asians and adults.

Stratification by ethnicity indicated an association between this genotype and asthma in Asians (OR = 2.683, 95 % CI = 1.799-4.001, p = 1.31 × 10(-7)), and stratification by age indicated an association between it and asthma in adults (OR = 1.895, 95 % CI = 1.005-3.573, p = 0.048). However, no association was found between asthma and the ADAM33 T2 and ST+7 polymorphisms. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis demonstrates that the ADAM33 T1 polymorphism confers susceptibility to asthma in Asians, but no association was found between the ADAM33 T2 and ST+7 polymorphisms and asthma susceptibility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND ADAM33 and STAT6 belong to the candidate genes that have been commonly associated with asthma, bronchial hyperresponsiveness or IgE levels. Our objective was to assess the association of 11 SNPs of the ADAM33 and 6 of the STAT6 and their haplotypes with IgE levels and asthma. We also evaluated the possible role of parental origin of haplotypes on IgE levels. METHODS We enrolled 109 children with asthma and 45 healthy controls. Genotyping was performed by TaqMan probes and confirmed by sequencing. Haplotype construction was based on the knowledge of parental genotypes and also inferred by using the EM algorithm and Bayes' theorem. RESULTS None of the SNPs were associated with elevated IgE level or asthma. We found that the most frequent STAT6 haplotype ATTCAA (built from rs324012, rs324011, rs841718, rs3024974, rs3024974, rs4559 SNPs, respectively) was associated with elevated total IgE levels (P=0.01) and this haplotype was predominantly transmitted paternally (P<0.001). We compared our results with those of studies performed on German and Australian Caucasian populations and found that rs324011, rs3024974 and rs4559 SNPs in STAT6 should have a major effect on IgE levels. Therefore, we suggest the TCA haplotype alone (built from rs324011, rs3024974 and rs4559 SNPs, respectively) in STAT6 is associated with total IgE elevation. CONCLUSIONS The influence of paternal origin of the STAT6 haplotype on IgE levels is surprising but the exact role of possible paternal imprinting in STAT6 regulation should be investigated and confirmed in future studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Genetic factors contribute to the increasing incidence of childhood asthma. The ADAM33 (a disintegrin and metalloprotease domain-containing protein 33) gene, discovered through positional cloning, is the first to be associated with asthma and bronchial hyperresponsiveness. This case-control study conducted in a Han Chinese population in northern China compared the genotypes of child asthmatic patients to healthy controls for the presence of 6 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the ADAM33 gene. METHODS The study population was composed of 412 children with asthma and 397 healthy controls. We genotyped 6 SNPs (F+1, T+1, T2, T1, V4, and Q-1) of ADAM33 with the PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. Data were statistically analyzed to determine if an association existed between these genotypes and childhood asthma morbidity. RESULTS Three SNPs (T+1, T1, and V4) and 4 haplotypes (H1, H3, H5, and H8) were strongly associated with childhood asthma in children of northern China compared to healthy controls (P<0.05), whereas the other tested SNPs and haplotypes demonstrated no significant relationship. CONCLUSION The ADAM33 gene plays an important role in facilitating susceptibility to childhood asthma in this Han Chinese population.

Abstract
Bcl I in the promoter polymorphism observed within h-GR/NR3C1 gene may play an important role in the development of bronchial asthma and resistance to GCs in the severe bronchial asthma. The aim of the investigation was to study the correlation between this h-GR/NR3C1 gene polymorphism and occurrence of asthma in the population of Polish asthmatics. Peripheral blood was obtained from 70 healthy volunteers and 59 asthma patients. Structuralized anamnesis, spirometry and allergy skin prick tests were performed in all participants. Genotyping was carried out with PCR–RFLP method. In healthy, non-atopic population variants of Bcl I: GG, GC, CC were found with frequency 0.129/0.471/0.400, respectively. In asthma patients Bcl I: GG, GC, CC occurred with respective frequencies of 0.410/0.462/0.128. Chi-square analysis revealed a significantly different (P < 0.05) distribution between cases and controls for the Bcl I polymorphism. The Bcl I polymorphism of h-GR/NR3C1 gene is significantly associated with bronchial asthma, susceptibility to the development of severe form and resistance to GCs in Polish population.

Abstract
Lungs are exposed to the outside environment and therefore to toxic and infectious agents or allergens. This may lead to permanent activation of innate immune response elements. A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinases (ADAMs) and ADAMs with Thrombospondin motifs (ADAMTS) are proteinases closely related to Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs). These multifaceted molecules bear metalloproteinase and disintegrin domains endowing them with features of both proteinases and adhesion molecules. Proteinases of the ADAM family are associated to various physiological and pathological processes and display a wide spectrum of biological effects encompassing cell fusion, cell adhesion, "shedding process", cleavage of various substrates from the extracellular matrix, growth factors or cytokines... This review will focus on the putative roles of ADAM/ADAMTS proteinases in airway diseases such as asthma and COPD.
