Endocr Metab Immune Disord Drug Targets 2020; 21:925-931. [PMID: 32811420 DOI: 10.2174/1871530320999200818102731] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2020] [Revised: 07/08/2020] [Accepted: 07/20/2020] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant disease manifested by the clonal proliferation of atypical plasma cells. Macrophage inhibitory factor (MIF) is one of the pleiotropic regulators in various biological and cellular processes. Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is a crucial protein involved in the lectin pathway of the immune system. OBJECTIVE We aimed to assess whether variants of MIF and MBL2 genes are associated with MM among a Turkish population. METHODS We analyzed the MIF-173G/C (rs755622) and MBL2 codon 54A/B (rs1800450) variants in 200 patients with MM and 200 healthy control subjects using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by restriction endonuclease digestion. There was also an evaluation of the patients undergoing autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT) for these variants. RESULTS AA and BB genotypes of MBL2 codon 54A/B increased in the patients as compared to the controls (p=0.008, p=0.001, respectively). The subjects carrying AA and BB genotypes of MBL2 were at high risk of development of susceptibility to MM by 7.377 and 8.812 times, respectively. The distribution of MBL2 codon 54A/B alleles was similar between the groups (p>0 .05). There was no statistical difference between the patients and controls in the genotype and allele frequencies of the MIF- 173G/C variant (p>0 .05). The patients undergoing ASCT, MBL2 codon 54A/B AA and BB genotypes also showed association with increased risk for MM (p=0.004, p=0.001, respectively). CONCLUSION As far as we know, this is the first report of the study on an association between these variants and MM in our population. Our results indicate that the MBL2 codon 54A/B variant may be associated with susceptibility to MM.

Replication and validation of genetic polymorphisms associated with survival after allogeneic blood or marrow transplant. Blood 2017; 130:1585-1596. [PMID: 28811306 DOI: 10.1182/blood-2017-05-784637] [Citation(s) in RCA: 42] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2017] [Accepted: 08/02/2017] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Multiple candidate gene-association studies of non-HLA single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and outcomes after blood or marrow transplant (BMT) have been conducted. We identified 70 publications reporting 45 SNPs in 36 genes significantly associated with disease-related mortality, progression-free survival, transplant-related mortality, and/or overall survival after BMT. Replication and validation of these SNP associations were performed using DISCOVeRY-BMT (Determining the Influence of Susceptibility COnveying Variants Related to one-Year mortality after BMT), a well-powered genome-wide association study consisting of 2 cohorts, totaling 2888 BMT recipients with acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, or myelodysplastic syndrome, and their HLA-matched unrelated donors, reported to the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research. Gene-based tests were used to assess the aggregate effect of SNPs on outcome. None of the previously reported significant SNPs replicated at P < .05 in DISCOVeRY-BMT. Validation analyses showed association with one previously reported donor SNP at P < .05 and survival; more associations would be anticipated by chance alone. No gene-based tests were significant at P < .05. Functional annotation with publicly available data shows these candidate SNPs most likely do not have biochemical function; only 13% of candidate SNPs correlate with gene expression or are predicted to impact transcription factor binding. Of these, half do not impact the candidate gene of interest; the other half correlate with expression of multiple genes. These findings emphasize the peril of pursing candidate approaches and the importance of adequately powered tests of unbiased genome-wide associations with BMT clinical outcomes given the ultimate goal of improving patient outcomes.

Abstract
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common acute leukemia diagnosed in adults. Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that plays a significant role in pathogenesis and autoimmune diseases. The major function of MIF is to promote the cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. The aim of the present study is to identify the association between MIF-173 (rs755662) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and AML in Taiwanese population. DNA samples extracted from 256 AML patients and 256 healthy controls were investigated using polymerase chain reaction followed by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. The association between MIF-173 SNP genotype and AML patients were assessed with SPSS software. The results show that the GC genotype of MIF-173 SNP is significantly higher in AML patients than in the healthy controls (OR 1.58, 95 % CI 1.06, P = 0.034). Carrier genotypes GC and CC may be a causative factor for AML cancer (OR 1.39, 95 % CI 0.95, P = 0.085). White blood cell count (10(3)/µl) were significantly associated with AML MIF-173 polymorphism patients (P = 0.002). Our results in this study provide the first evidence that the MIF-173 polymorphism is associated with AML. MIF is a potential biomarker for development of AML cancer in male adult in Taiwanese population. Further validations in other populations are warranted.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a complex disease resulting from a combination of environmental and genetic factors. We hypothesized that polymorphisms in methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) rs1801133 C/T, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs)-2, tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α, macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) rs755622 G/C and cyclin D1 (CCND1) rs678653 G/C contribute to CAD susceptibility. We examined the association between the five polymorphisms and the risk of CAD in a Chinese population of 435 CAD patients and 480 controls. Genotyping was performed using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization/time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI/TOF MS). When the MTHFR rs1801133 CC homozygote genotype was used as the reference group, the TT or CT/TT genotypes were associated with a significantly increased risk for CAD. The CT heterozygote genotype was not associated with the risk for CAD. Logistic regression analyses revealed that MMP-2 rs243865 C/T, TNF-α rs1800629 A/G, MIF rs755622 G/C and CCND1 rs678653 G/C polymorphisms were not associated with the risk of CAD. These findings suggest that the MTHFR rs1801133 C/T polymorphism is associated with CAD development. Future larger studies with other ethnic populations are required to confirm current findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the highest leading cause of cancer-related mortality in Taiwan. Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) has recently been defined as a novel protumorigenic factor that promotes cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. The aim of the present study is to identify the association between MIF gene polymorphism and CRC. METHODS A case-control study was designed to test the hypothesis. A total of 192 biopsy-diagnosed CRC patients (CRC) and 256 healthy subjects (control) were recruited. Genotyping of four single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs; rs755662, rs11548059, rs1049829, rs1803976) at chromosome positions 755662 (5' UTR), 11548059 (exon2), 1049829 (exon2), 1803976 (exon3) was performed using a Taqman SNP genotyping assay. RESULTS There is a significant difference in genotype frequency distribution of rs755662 polymorphism between CRC patients and controls (P = 0.011). No significant difference was found in the frequency distribution of rs11548059, rs1049829, rs1803976 polymorphism in CRC patients and controls (P = 0.660, P = 0.700, and P = 0.959, respectively). Moreover, the MIF-173 SNP was also significantly associated with young patients (age < 50 years, P = 0.026) late stage (Stage IV, P = 0.038) and poor differentiation group (P = 0.040). Compared to the control group, the MIF-173 SNP also significantly associated with patients with stages III and IV (P = 0.034 and 0.003, respectively). CONCLUSION The presence of MIF-173 (G/C) gene polymorphism (rs755662) was associated with susceptibility, patient age, and stages of CRC in Taiwanese.

Abstract
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a key pro-inflammatory mediator. It plays an important role part in the pathogenesis of several inflammatory and immune diseases. A functional single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of MIF -173 G/C is known to influence MIF promoter activity in T lymphoblast cell lines and is associated with a higher serum MIF level. The CD40 is also crucial for some relevant functions of the immune system and may be related to rheumatoid arthritis (RA). And CD226 is an important cell-surface receptor molecule involved in the adhesion and activation of T-cell. We hypothesized that these polymorphisms may contribute to RA susceptibility. We studied MIF -173 G/C, CD40, and CD226 gene polymorphisms in 214 patients with RA and 478 controls in a Chinese population. Genotyping was done by using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). When the MIF -173 GG homozygote genotype was used as the reference group, the CC genotype was associated with a significantly increased risk for RA. In the recessive model, when the MIF -173 GG/GC genotypes were used as the reference group, the CC homozygote genotype was associated with a significant 1.56-fold increased susceptibility to RA. None of the CD40 rs1883832 C/T and CD226 rs763361 C/T polymorphisms achieved a significant difference in genotype distributions between cases and controls. In the stratification analyzes, a significantly increased risk for RA associated with the MIF -173 CC genotype was evident among CRP-negative patients compared with the MIF -173 GG/GC genotype. For the CD40 rs1883832 C/T variant, the risk effects of CD40 rs1883832 TT versus CD40 rs1883832 CC/CT were significant in men. These findings suggested that the functional SNP MIF -173 G/C variant allele was associated with the development of RA. However, CD40 and CD226 gene polymorphisms may not be associated with RA susceptibility. Due to the limitation of sample size, this study should be considered preliminary.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) -173G/C (rs755622), mannose-binding lectin (MBL2) exon 1 codon 54 (rs1800450) gene polymorphisms and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) susceptibility in ethnically different populations. A meta-analysis was conducted (allelic contrast, the additive model, the dominant model and the recessive model) on the MIF-173G/C polymorphism across five studies (four European and one Asian studies), and the MBL2 codon 54 polymorphism with five studies (four Asian and one European studies), respectively. Meta-analysis indicated an association between the MIF-173G/C in all study subjects in allelic contrast (OR=1.19, 95%CI: 1.05-1.35, P=0.001), the additive model (OR=1.68, 95CI: 1.13-2.49, P=0.001), the dominant model (OR=1.17, 95CI: 1.01-1.35, P=0.003), the recessive model (OR=1.63, 95CI: 1.10-2.42, P=0.001). While stratified by ethnicity with European populations, an association was found in allelic contrast (OR=1.20, 95CI: 1.04-1.38, P=0.002), the additive model (OR=1.85, 95CI: 1.19-2.88, P=0.001), the dominant model (OR=1.20, 95CI: 1.02-1.41, P=0.003). With respect to MBL2 codon 54 polymorphism and RA, no association was found in all study subjects in all comparisons, but there was an association while stratified by ethnicity with Asian populations in the dominant model (OR=1.50, 95CI: 1.01-2.23, P=0.007). In conclusion, the present study suggests that the MIF-173G/C polymorphism is associated with RA susceptibility, but the MBL2 codon 54 polymorphism is not associated with RA.

Abstract
Migration inhibitory factor (MIF) has recently been defined as a novel pro-tumorigenic factor that promotes cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. The MIF -173C allele results in increased MIF promoter activity and is associated with a higher serum MIF level. We hypothesized that this polymorphism may contribute to childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) susceptibility. We genotyped the MIF -173G/C polymorphism (rs755622) in 346 ALL cases and 516 cancer-free controls in a Chinese population and found that the variant genotype GC and the combined genotypes GC/CC were associated with a significantly higher risk of childhood ALL [adjusted odds ratio (OR)=1.39, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.01-1.93 for GC and adjusted OR=1.38, 95% CI=1.01-1.89 for GC/CC]. In addition, we found that the increased risk was more pronounced among high-risk ALL and B-phenotype ALL patients. Our results suggest that the MIF -173G/C polymorphism is involved in the etiology of childhood ALL and is a potential candidate gene for determining cancer susceptibility. Further validations in other populations are warranted.
