[PMID: 36804854 DOI: 10.1016/j.gene.2023.147264] [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: 08/06/2022] [Revised: 12/23/2022] [Accepted: 02/06/2023] [Indexed: 02/18/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Calcium and oxalate are the most abundant metabolites present in the stone matrix. The SPP1 and UMOD gene has specific expression in kidneys and are involved in various stages of stone formation. Therefore, genetic variants in the SPP1 and UMOD genes may enhance the development of renal stone disease. This study has been designed to understand the association of genetic variants of SPP1 and UMOD genes with renal stone disease. MATERIALS AND METHOD A prospective study has been carried out, including 150 renal stone disease patients and 150 healthy individuals. Biochemical parameters were performed, including serum calcium levels, creatinine, parathyroid hormone, and 24-Hour urine metabolites. The genotyping of SPP1 (rs1126616) and UMOD (rs4293393) gene variants were performed using a customized TaqMan probe. T-test was used for continuous biochemical data analysis. The Chi-square test has been applied to assess the risk of a particular genotype associated with renal stone disease. In addition, correlation analysis for biochemical parameters and genetic variants with the renal stone disease has been performed using Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) values calculated with the help of the pycaret library. RESULT Renal stone patients had significantly higher levels of parathyroid hormone (93.37 ± 52.78 pg/ml vs 64.67 ± 31.50 pg/ml, P=<0.0001), serum creatinine (0.94 ± 0.38 mg/dl vs 0.77 ± 0.17 mg/dl, P=<0.0001) and 24hr urine metabolites in comparison to the healthy controls. Heterozygous (CT) variant of SPP1 and homozygous (GG) variant of UMOD genes were significantly associated with an increased risk of developing the renal stone disease (p = 0.0100, OR = 2.06, 95 %CI = 1.13-3.75; p=<0.0001, OR = 5.773, 95 % CI = 2.03-16.38, respectively). Individuals with hyperparathyroidism and CC (SPP1) and GG (UMOD) genotypes have a high risk (P = 0.0055, OR = 2.75, 95 %CI = 1.35-5.67; P = 0.0129, OR = 10.03, 95 %CI = 1.60-110.40, respectively) of developing a renal stone. In addition, individuals with hypercalciuria and TT genotype of SPP1 (P = 0.0112, OR = 2.92, 95 % CI = 1.33-6.35), AG genotype of UMOD (P=<0.0001, OR = 5.45, 95 %CI = 2.24-13.96) and GG genotype of UMOD (P=<0.0001, OR = 10.02, 95 %CI = 3.53-24.63) have high risk of developing renal stones. Moreover, Individuals with hyperoxaluria and AG + GG (UMOD) genotype have a greater risk (P=<0.0001, OR = 7.35, 95 % CI = 3.83-13.68) of developing a renal stone. The renal stone risk was persistent (P=<0.0002, OR = 2.44, 95 % CI = 1.52-3.86) when analyzed for the synergistic effect of risk genotypes of SPP1 (CT) and UMOD (GG) gene. Further, correlation analysis also confirmed the strong association between genetic variants and renal stone development. CONCLUSION Genetic variants of the SPP1 and UMOD genes were associated with renal stone disease. In the presence of risk genotype and hyperparathyroidism, hypercalciuria, and hyperoxaluria, the susceptibility to develop the renal stone disease risk gets modulated.

Abstract
Objective: This study explores associations between recurrent kidney stones and genetic polymorphisms. Methods: Meta-analysis of polymorphisms in renal stone cases versus control groups. Four electronic databases (PubMed, SCOPUS, EMBASE, and Web of Science) were searched up to 30 May 2021, using the keywords: “kidney stone” or “kidney calculi,” or “urolithiasis” or “nephrolithiasis” or “urinary calculi” and “genome” or “genetic” or “mutation” or “single nucleotide polymorphism.” Forrest plots, ORs, 95% CI, Chi-square (χ2)-test, and index of heterogeneity (I2) were calculated. Only studies with Newcastle–Ottawa scale (NOS) ≥ 6 were included for quality control, and Funnel, Begg’s, and Eager’s plots assessed publication bias. PROSPERO: CRD42022250427. Results: Among 7,671 searched articles, 72 were included. Polymorphisms in VDR (OR: 1.20; 95% CI: 1.06–1.36), CASR (OR = 1.24; 95% CI: 1.01–1.52), Osteopontin (OR = 1.38; 95% CI: 1.09–1.74), and Urokinase genes (OR = 1.52; 95% CI: 1.02–2.28) showed a significant association with risk of urinary stone formation, while Klotho gene showed a protective effect (OR = 0.75; 95% CI: 0.57–0.99). The VDR gene polymorphism was frequent in Asians, whereas CASR polymorphism was frequent in European and North American populations. Conclusion: Multifactorial nature of the stone formation, emphasizing the role of environmental factors, might explain contradictory results in the literature. While polymorphisms in VDR, CASR, Osteopontin, and Urokinase genes were associated with urinary stone formation, the Klotho gene showed a protective effect.

Genetics of osteopontin in patients with chronic kidney disease: The German Chronic Kidney Disease study. PLoS Genet 2022; 18:e1010139. [PMID: 35385482 PMCID: PMC9015153 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pgen.1010139] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2021] [Revised: 04/18/2022] [Accepted: 03/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Osteopontin (OPN), encoded by SPP1, is a phosphorylated glycoprotein predominantly synthesized in kidney tissue. Increased OPN mRNA and protein expression correlates with proteinuria, reduced creatinine clearance, and kidney fibrosis in animal models of kidney disease. But its genetic underpinnings are incompletely understood. We therefore conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of OPN in a European chronic kidney disease (CKD) population. Using data from participants of the German Chronic Kidney Disease (GCKD) study (N = 4,897), a GWAS (minor allele frequency [MAF]≥1%) and aggregated variant testing (AVT, MAF<1%) of ELISA-quantified serum OPN, adjusted for age, sex, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) was conducted. In the project, GCKD participants had a mean age of 60 years (SD 12), median eGFR of 46 mL/min/1.73m2 (p25: 37, p75: 57) and median UACR of 50 mg/g (p25: 9, p75: 383). GWAS revealed 3 loci (p<5.0E-08), two of which replicated in the population-based Young Finns Study (YFS) cohort (p<1.67E-03): rs10011284, upstream of SPP1 encoding the OPN protein and related to OPN production, and rs4253311, mapping into KLKB1 encoding prekallikrein (PK), which is processed to kallikrein (KAL) implicated through the kinin-kallikrein system (KKS) in blood pressure control, inflammation, blood coagulation, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. The SPP1 gene was also identified by AVT (p = 2.5E-8), comprising 7 splice-site and missense variants. Among others, downstream analyses revealed colocalization of the OPN association signal at SPP1 with expression in pancreas tissue, and at KLKB1 with various plasma proteins in trans, and with phenotypes (bone disorder, deep venous thrombosis) in human tissue. In summary, this GWAS of OPN levels revealed two replicated associations. The KLKB1 locus connects the function of OPN with PK, suggestive of possible further post-translation processing of OPN. Further studies are needed to elucidate the complex role of OPN within human (patho)physiology.

BMC MEDICAL GENETICS 2020; 21:172. [PMID: 32842990 PMCID: PMC7446165 DOI: 10.1186/s12881-020-01101-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2020] [Accepted: 08/04/2020] [Indexed: 11/10/2022]
Abstract
Background Urolithiasis is a worldwide urological problem with significant contribution of genetic factors. Pakistan, which resides within the Afro-Asian stone belt, has a high reported prevalence (12%) of urolithiasis. Osteopontin (SPP1) is a urinary macromolecule with a suggested critical role in modulating renal stone formation, genetic polymorphisms of which may determine individual risk of developing urolithiasis. However, results of previous studies regarding SPP1 polymorphisms and susceptibility to urolithiasis have apparent inconsistencies with no data available for local population. Methods A total of 235 urolithiasis patients and 243 healthy controls, all of Pakistani ancestry, underwent genotyping for six SPP1 genetic polymorphisms in an effort to investigate potential association with urolithiasis using indigenous candidate gene association study design. Further, a comprehensive meta-analysis following a systematic literature search was also done to ascertain an evidence based account of any existent association regarding SPP1 promoter polymorphisms and risk of developing urolithiasis. Results Three SPP1 promoter polymorphisms, rs2853744:G > T, rs11730582:T > C and rs11439060:delG>G, were found to be significantly associated with risk of urolithiasis in indigenous genetic association study (OR = 3.14; p = 0.006, OR = 1.78; p = 0.006 and OR = 1.60; p = 0.012, respectively). We also observed a 1.68-fold positive association of a tri-allelic haplotype of these SPP1 promoter polymorphisms (G-C-dG) with risk of urolithiasis (OR = 1.68; p = 0.0079). However, no association was evident when data were stratified according to gender, age at first presentation, stone recurrence, stone multiplicity, parental consanguinity and family history of urolithiasis. The overall results from meta-analysis, which included 4 studies, suggested a significant association of SPP1 rs2853744:G > T polymorphism with susceptibility of urolithiasis (OR = 1.37; p = 0.004), but not for other SPP1 polymorphic variants analyzed. Conclusions In conclusion, we report significant association of 3 SPP1 polymorphisms with urolithiasis for the first time from South Asia, however, this association persisted only for SPP1 rs2853744:G > T polymorphism after meta-analysis of pooled studies. Further studies with a larger sample size will be required to validate this association and assess any potential usefulness in diagnosis and prognosis of renal stone disease.

Abstract
CONTEXT Urolithiasis has a high prevalence and recurrence rate. Prevention is key to patient management, but risk stratification is challenging. In particular, genetic predisposition for urinary stones is not fully understood. OBJECTIVE To review current evidence of potential causative genes for idiopathic urolithiasis and map their relationships to one another. This evidence is essential for future establishment of molecular targeted therapy. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION A systematic literature review from 2007 to 2017 was performed in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analyses guidelines. The search was restricted to human studies conducted as either case-control or genome-wide association studies, and published in English. We also performed a causal network analysis of candidate genes gained from the systematic review using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA). EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS During the systematic screening of literature, 30 papers were selected for the review. A total of 20 genes with 42 polymorphisms/variants were found to be associated with urolithiasis risk. Their functional roles were mainly categorized as stone matrix, calcium and phosphate regulation, urinary concentration and constitution, and inflammation/oxidative stress. IPA network analysis revealed that these genes connected via signaling pathways and a proinflammatory/oxidative environment. CONCLUSIONS This systematic review provides an updated gene list and novel causal networks for idiopathic urolithiasis risk. Although some genes such as SPP1, CASR, VDR, CLDN14, and SLC34A1 were identified by several studies and recognized by prior reviews, further investigation elucidating their roles in stone formation will be essential for future studies. PATIENT SUMMARY In this review, we summarized recent literature regarding genes responsible for kidney stone risk. Based on a detailed review of 30 articles and computational network analysis, we concluded that disorder of mineral regulation with local inflammation in the kidney may cause kidney stone disease.

Abstract
Osteopontin (OPN) has an important role in urolithiasis. However, few studies have explored the association between OPN genetic variants and urolithiasis risk. In the present study, three single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs28357094, rs11439060 and rs11730582) located on the promoter of OPN were genotyped in a total of 480 individuals, including 230 nephrolithiasis patients and 250 matched healthy controls, and the associations between these SNPs and nephrolithiasis risk in different genetic models was assessed. No significant differences were identified in the genotype and allele frequencies of OPN rs28357094 or rs11730582 (P=0.805 for rs28357094; P=0.577 for rs11730582, respectively). However, carriers with the OPN rs11439060 insertion (ins) types (ins/deletion and ins/ins) were overrepresented in urolithiasis patients compared with the controls [odds ratio (OR), 1.55; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.08-2.22]. In the stratified analysis, the increased risk was more evident among younger subjects (adjusted OR, 1.68; 95% CI, 1.01-2.81), females (2.15; 1.14-4.08), overweight subjects (1.80; 1.07-3.05), normotensive subjects (2.48; 1.02-6.00), abnormal blood sugar subjects (1.58; 1.08-2.30), smokers (1.63; 1.02-2.60), and ever-drinkers (1.98; 1.10-3.60).. These findings revealed that the OPN rs11439060 polymorphism may act as genetic biomarker for the detection of high-risk nephrolithiasis patients.

Roles of osteopontin gene polymorphism (rs1126616), osteopontin levels in urine and serum, and the risk of urolithiasis: a meta-analysis. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2015; 2015:315043. [PMID: 25785266 PMCID: PMC4345067 DOI: 10.1155/2015/315043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2014] [Revised: 01/16/2015] [Accepted: 01/17/2015] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Objective. Previous studies have investigated the relationships between osteopontin gene polymorphism rs1126616 and OPN levels and urolithiasis, but the results were controversial. Our study aimed to clarify such relationships. Methods. A meta-analysis was performed by searching the databases Pubmed, Embase, and Web of Science for relevant studies. Crude odds ratios (ORs) or standardised mean differences with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to evaluate the strength of association. Publication bias was estimated using Begg's funnel plots and Egger's regression test. Results. Overall, a significantly increased risk of urolithiasis was associated with OPN gene polymorphism rs1126616 for all the genetic models except recessive model. When stratified by ethnicity, the results were significant only in Turkish populations. For OPN level association, a low OPN level was detected in the urine of urolithiasis patients in large sample size subgroup. Results also indicated that urolithiasis patients have lower OPN level in serum than normal controls. Conclusion. This meta-analysis revealed that the T allele of OPN gene polymorphism increased susceptibility to urolithiasis. Moreover, significantly lower OPN levels were detected in urine and serum of urolithiasis patients than normal controls, thereby indicating that OPN has important functions in the progression of urolithiasis.

Abstract
Metastasis-related genes are deregulated in cancer by aberrant expression or splicing. Here, we analyzed polymorphic sites in the osteopontin promoter as potential contributors to aberrant expression in breast cancers. This study comprised 241 breast cancer specimens, for which DNA from normal surrounding tissue was available for 111, and 65 healthy breast samples. The polymorphic site in position -443 of the promoter was associated with tumor grade. As expected, there was no association between promoter single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and tumor stage or in situ carcinoma versus cancer, as stage and early transformation are determined by the sampling time more than by tumor genetics. In a subset of samples, osteopontin RNA expression levels had previously been obtained. The allelic distribution in positions -443 and -1748 was distinct between high and low expressors, confirming the importance of promoter SNPs. These two sites also form a haplotype. Osteopontin expression has been associated with breast cancer progression, regardless of the histological subtype of the cancer. Remarkably, the polymorphic site at -443, but not -1748 or -1776, showed differences between ER-positive and ER-negative breast cancers and between PR-positive and PR-negative breast cancers, but there was no association with HER2 status. In five cases, the genotype of the tumor was different from the genotype of the host, implying the possibility of somatic mutations in the osteopontin promoter that may affect expression. Our results corroborate that the osteopontin promoter SNPs -443 (rs11730582) and -1748 (rs2728127) are important for gene expression and breast cancer aggressiveness.

Abstract
GOALS To evaluate the significance of osteopontin (OPN) genotypes in the susceptibility to gastric cancer. BACKGROUND The expression of OPN has been correlated with development, invasiveness, metastasis, and survival of gastric cancer, but the role of polymorphisms in the OPN promoter has not been investigated. STUDY We enrolled 146 gastric cancer patients and 128 controls. DNA was extracted from peripheral blood leucocytes. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the OPN promoter (-66, -156, -443, -616, -1748, and -1776) were analyzed by pyrosequencing and direct sequencing methods. Logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate the associations between SNPs and development of gastric cancer. RESULTS SNP -443 C/C and -616 T/T of the OPN promoter were significantly associated with gastric cancer [odds ratio (OR)=2.88; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.16-7.12 and OR=1.95; 95% CI, 1.35-2.82, respectively]. Analysis of the combined effect of OPN promoter SNPs revealed that the combination of SNP -443 (T/C or C/C) and SNP -616 (T/T or T/G) had the most significant association with gastric cancer (OR=3.95; 95% CI, 1.58-9.90). CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that polymorphisms in the OPN promoter are associated with the development of gastric cancer, and the combination of SNP -443 (T/C or C/C) and -616 (T/T or T/G) most significantly increases susceptibility to gastric cancer.

Association between polymorphisms in osteopontin gene (SPP1) and first episode calcium oxalate urolithiasis. Urolithiasis 2013; 41:303-13. [PMID: 23784265 DOI: 10.1007/s00240-013-0582-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2013] [Accepted: 06/03/2013] [Indexed: 10/26/2022]
Abstract
We examined whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in SPP1 gene are associated with risk of calcium oxalate urolithiasis (COU). We genotyped nine known SNPs in SPP1 gene (rs11739060, rs28357094, rs2728127, rs11730582, rs1126772, rs9138, rs2853744, rs4754=p.Asp80Asp, and rs1126616=p.Ala236Ala). Genomic DNA from 1,026 individuals (n = 342 patients with first episode COU, and n = 684 healthy unrelated controls) was analyzed for nine SPP1 SNPs using polymerase chain reaction and melting curve analysis by means of a pair of fluorescence resonance energy transfer probes. Serum and urine osteopontin (OPN) levels were also measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. rs9138 AA genotype was protective (OR 0.62, 95 % CI 0.47-0.81; P = 0.004). rs28357094 TT genotype (OR 2.52, 95 % CI 1.74-3.79; P = 0.021), rs2728127 GG genotype (OR 2.64, 95 % CI 1.42-4.81; P = 0.002), and rs2853744 GG genotype (OR 1.68, 95 % CI 1.22-3.87; P = 0.003) were predisposing. None of the other examined SPP1 SNPs was associated with COU susceptibility. Subjects with protective and predisposing polymorphisms had increased and decreased serum levels of OPN, respectively. Urinary calcium/OPN ratios were higher and lower in subjects with predisposing and protective SNPs of SPP1 gene, respectively. Of 28 constructed haplotypes, 6 demonstrated significant association with COU risk. There was no sex difference in the obtained results. The SPP1 gene polymorphisms are associated with the COU susceptibility.

Abstract
Urokinase is involved in the processes of initiating urinary stones. Several published case-control studies have examined the relationship of urokinase gene 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) T/C polymorphism and urolithiasis, but yielded inconsistent findings. In this study, a comprehensive meta-analysis was conducted by pooling relevant studies to obtain reliable conclusions. Studies focusing on the association between urokinase gene 3'-UTR T/C polymorphism and urolithiasis were retrieved through PubMed, Medline, Web of Science and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure platform without any limit on language, until October 2012. Four independent articles were eventually identified as eligible for the final meta-analysis, involving 1,195 subjects. Crude odds ratios (ORs), as well as 95% confidence intervals (CIs), were assessed for the association by either fixed- or random-effects models using RevMan 5.0 software. Significant associations were noted in the 'TC vs. CC' codominant model for total population (OR=2.53; 95% CI, 1.43-4.46; P=0.001), Asian population (OR=2.46; 95% CI, 1.38-4.40; P=0.002), male (OR=2.98; 95% CI, 1.43-6.21; P=0.004), Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) (OR=2.46; 95% CI, 1.38-4.40; P=0.002) and recurrence (OR=2.66; 95% CI, 1.51-4.67; P=0.00). Statistically significant associations were also observed in the 'TT+TC vs. CC' dominant model for the Asian, male, HWE and recurrence population (P<0.05). Additionally, a significant difference was detected in the 'T vs. C' allele model for HWE. However, there were no associations in either the 'TT vs. CC' codominant model or 'TT vs. TC+CC' recessive model. In conclusion, the present meta-analysis suggests that urokinase gene T allele may increase the susceptibility of urolithiasis.

Abstract
Urinary stones consist of two phases-an inorganic (mineral) phase and an organic (matrix) phase. Studies on the organic components of kidney stones have been undertaken later than those on the inorganic components. After osteopontin was identified as one of the matrix components, the biomolecular mechanism of urinary stone formation became clearer. It also triggered the development of new preventive treatments. Osteopontin expression is sporadically observed in normal distal tubular cells and is markedly increased in stone-forming kidneys. Calcium oxalate crystals adhering to renal tubular cells are incorporated into cells by the involvement of osteopontin. Stimulation of crystal-cell adhesion impairs the opening of mitochondrial permeability transition pores (mPTP) in tubular cells and produces oxidative stress, apoptosis, and osteopontin expression. Macrophages phagocytose and digest a small amount of crystals, but many crystals aggregate into a mass containing osteopontin and epithelial cell debris and are excreted into the renal tubular lumen, becoming nuclei of urinary stones. This biomolecular mechanism is similar to atherosclerotic calcification. Based on these findings, new preventive treatments have been developed. Dietary control such as low-cholesterol intake and the ingestion of antioxidative foods and vegetables have successfully reduced the 5-year recurrence rate. Osteopontin antibodies and cyclosporine A, which blocks the opening of mPTP, have markedly inhibited the expression of osteopontin and urinary stone formation in animal models.

Abstract
Urolithiasis affects approximately 10% of individuals in Western societies by the seventh decade of life. The most common form, idiopathic calcium oxalate urolithiasis, results from the interaction of multiple genes and their interplay with dietary and environmental factors. To date, considerable progress has been made in identifying the metabolic risk factors that predispose to this complex trait, among which hypercalciuria predominates. The specific genetic and epigenetic factors involved in urolithiasis have remained less clear, partly owing to the candidate gene and linkage methods that have been available until now, being inherently low in their power of resolution and in assessing modest effects in complex traits. However, together with investigations of rare, Mendelian forms of urolithiasis associated with various metabolic risk factors, these methods have afforded insights into biological pathways that seem to underlie the development of stones in the urinary tract. Monogenic diseases account for a greater proportion of stone formers in children and adolescents than in adults. Early diagnosis of monogenic forms of urolithiasis is of importance owing to associated renal injury and other potentially treatable disease manifestations, but diagnosis is often delayed because of a lack of familiarity with these rare disorders. In this Review, we will discuss advances in the understanding of the genetics underlying polygenic and monogenic forms of urolithiasis.
