[PMID: 38049786 PMCID: PMC10694925 DOI: 10.1186/s12902-023-01514-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2022] [Accepted: 11/15/2023] [Indexed: 12/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies evaluating the association between monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) -2518 A > G (rs1024611) polymorphism and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and diabetic nephropathy (DN) are contradictory. The present study aims to provide a comprehensive assessment and more reliable estimation of the relationship between the MCP-1 rs1024611 polymorphism and T2DM and DN risk. METHODS Eligible articles were retrieved from the PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, Cochrane, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases. The effect summary odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were obtained to calculate the summary effect size. Heterogeneity was analyzed by subgroup analysis and meta-regression. Publication bias was tested using funnel plots and Egger's test. RESULTS In total, sixteen studies were included. Thirteen studies involving 2,363 patients with T2DM and 4,650 healthy controls found no significant association between the MCP-1 rs1024611 polymorphism and T2DM in the overall population. Ethnicity stratification found an association between the GG + GA genotype and decreased T2DM risk in Caucasians (OR = 0.79, 95% CI: 0.66-0.93, P = 0.006; PQ = 0.372). No significant risks were found in the Asian population for any genetic models. Seven studies found an association between the GG + GA genotype and DN risk in the Asian population (OR = 1.37, 95% CI: 1.11-1.71, P = 0.004, PQ = 0.222). No significant risks were found in the Caucasian population with any genetic models. There were no statistically significant differences in genotype distribution between patients with T2DM and DN in Asians or Caucasians. Meta-regression revealed that genotyping method was a major driver of heterogeneity in five genetic models (GG + GA vs. AA: P = 0.032; GG vs. GA + AA: P = 0.028; GG vs. AA: P = 0.035; GG vs. GA: P = 0.041; G vs. A: P = 0.041). CONCLUSION The MCP-1 rs1024611 polymorphism is associated with susceptibility to T2DM in Caucasians and DN in Asians. Larger, well-designed cohort studies are needed in the future to verify this association.

Association of IL-8-251T/A (rs4073) gene polymorphism with Systemic lupus erythematosus in a cohort of Egyptian patients. Int Immunopharmacol 2023; 114:109528. [PMID: 36481529 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2022.109528] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2022] [Revised: 11/27/2022] [Accepted: 11/28/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) susceptibility was found to be correlated with genetic polymorphisms. Therefore, the current study aimed to investigate the association of the IL-8-251 T/A polymorphism with the risk of SLE. METHODS A total of 135 SLE patients and 75 controls were enrolled in our study. The IL-8-251 T/A polymorphism was analysed by PCR-RFLP. Also, the serum concentration of IL-8 was measured using ELISA. Finally, investigate possible IL-8 pathways in SLE pathogenesis by using the STRING database. RESULTS Our results revealed that the risk of having SLE in AA genotype carriers was significantly increased (OR = 1.92, 95 % CI = 1.23-3.10, p = 0.006) when compared with TT genotype carriers. Patients with SLE had a significantly higher frequency of the A allele (OR = 1.37, 95 % CI = 1.09-1.7; P = 0.01) than controls. Serum IL-8 levels were significantly increased in SLE patients (77.81 ± 21.27; p < 0.001) when compared to healthy controls (48.85 ± 7.89). Also, it was found that the serum IL-8 level had significant positive correlations with proteinuria, ESR, ANA, urea and SELADI, and significant negative correlations with RBCs count, C3 and hemoglobin. According to ROC curve analysis, serum IL-8 levels are a good biomarker for the detection of SLE disease, with 87.5 % sensitivity and 85 % specificity. STRING analysis revealed that IL-8 interacts with key SLE signaling pathway members such as TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-10. CONCLUSIONS There was a correlation between the IL-8-251 T/A polymorphism and the risk of SLE. Our findings also suggest that the IL8-251 A allele may be an important risk factor for the development of SLE.

Abstract
MCP-1 (Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1), also known as Chemokine (CC-motif) ligand 2 (CCL2), is from family of CC chemokines. It has a vital role in the process of inflammation, where it attracts or enhances the expression of other inflammatory factors/cells. It leads to the advancement of many disorders by this main mechanism of migration and infiltration of inflammatory cells like monocytes/macrophages and other cytokines at the site of inflammation. MCP-1 has been inculpated in the pathogenesis of numerous disease conditions either directly or indirectly like novel corona virus, cancers, neuroinflammatory diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, cardiovascular diseases. The elevated MCP-1 level has been observed in COVID-19 patients and proven to be a biomarker associated with the extremity of disease along with IP-10. This review will focus on involvement and role of MCP-1 in various pathological conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) concentrations are 34% to 47% heritable. Larger -2518 G/A (rs1024611) genotypes differences are reported for: 1) MCP-1 production in stimulated vs. basal cells; and 2) MCP-1 concentrations in diseased (sepsis, brain abscess, hepatitis B virus, Alzheimer's disease, Behcet's disease, and systemic lupus erythematosus) vs. healthy patients. Those results suggest that the -2518 G/A effect size may depend on whether the phenotype is high or low relative to its distribution (quantile-dependent expressivity). METHOD To test whether quantile-dependent expressivity applies more broadly to genetic influences on MCP-1 concentrations, quantile-specific offspring-parent (βOP) and full-sib regression slopes (βFS) were estimated by applying quantile regression to the age- and sex-adjusted serum MCP-1 concentrations of Framingham Heart Study families. Quantile-specific heritabilities were calculated as h2 = 2βOP/(1 + rspouse) and h2={(1 + 8rspouseβFS)0.5-1}/(2rspouse)). RESULTS Heritability (h2 ± SE) of MCP-1 concentrations increased from 0.15 ± 0.05 at the 10th percentile of the MCP-1 distribution, 0.23 ± 0.04 at the 25th, 0.32 ± 0.05 at the 50th, 0.43 ± 0.07 at the 75th, and 0.44 ± 0.07 at the 90th percentile, or an 0.0041 ± 0.0009 increase for each one-percent increment in the MCP-1 distribution (Plinear trend = 2.4 × 10-5) when estimated from βOP, and (Plinear trend = 7.7 × 10-9) when estimated from βFS. Compared to the 10th percentile, βOP-estimated h2 was 3-fold greater at the 90th percentile (Pdifference = 0.0003), and 6.9-fold greater when estimated from βFS (Pdifference = 3.3 × 10-6). Re-analysis of in vivo comparison of MCP-1 concentrations in controls vs. patients with MCP-1-elevating conditions, and in vitro studies of MCP-1 production in basal vs. stimulated cells, show rs1024611 genotypes differences that were consistent with quantile-dependent expressivity. CONCLUSION The heritability of circulating MCP-1 concentrations is quantile-dependent.

Abstract
Chemokines are a group of cytokines with low molecular weight that principally direct chemotaxis of target cells. They have prominent roles in the pathogenesis systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and related complications particularly lupus nephritis. These molecules not only induce autoimmune responses in the organs of patients, but also can amplify the induced inflammatory responses. Although chemokine family has at least 46 identified members, the role of a number of these molecules have been more clarified in SLE patients or animal models of this disorder. In the current paper, we review the role of CCL2, CCL3, CCL4, CCL11, CCL20, CXCL1, CXCL2, CXCL8, CXCL10, CXCL12 and CXCL13 in the pathogenesis of SLE.

The impact of ICAM-1, CCL2 and TGM2 gene polymorphisms on differentiation syndrome in acute promyelocytic leukemia. BMC Cancer 2021; 21:46. [PMID: 33422029 PMCID: PMC7797108 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-021-07783-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2020] [Accepted: 01/02/2021] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Although arsenic trioxide (ATO) and all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) are well-tolerated and effective treatments for Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL), Differentiation Syndrome (DS) is a lethal side effect in some patients. The pathogenesis of DS is complex and not well understood; however, it is considered as an inflammatory response due to cytokines release of differentiated cells. Moreover, adhesion molecules that are widely expressed on the surface of differentiated cells and gene expression changes of transglutaminase2 (TGM2) are mechanisms involved in the development of DS. The purpose of this study was to assess the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-1 (ICAM-1), chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2) and TGM2 as inflammatory factors with differentiation syndrome susceptibility. Methods DNA was extracted from 133 APL patients and 100 normal controls. Assessment according to the PETHEMA criteria revealed that 13.5% of these patients experienced differentiation syndrome. Tetra-ARMS PCR and PCR-RFLP were done to amplify DNA fragments in APL patients with and without DS. Then DNA sequencing was done to validate the results. SNPStats, SPSS and Finch TV were used to analyze the results. Results A significant correlation was found between rs4811528 in the TGM2 gene and differentiation syndrome susceptibility (P = 0.002, 95% CI = 1.74–18.81, OR = 5.72) while rs5498 in ICAM-1, rs1024611 in CCL2, and rs7270785 in TGM2 genes showed no correlation with differentiation syndrome. The G allele of rs7270785 and rs4811528 showed a haplotypic association with differentiation syndrome (P = 0.03, 95% CI = 1.13–13.86, OR = 3.96). Conclusions AA genotype of the TGM2 SNP (rs4811528) may be a risk factor for development of DS in patients with APL following the use of ATRA/ATO.

Abstract
The increase of CC chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2) is associated with multiple sclerosis (MS), but the relationship between gene promoter region 2518A/G and the pathogenesis of MS is still not obvious. Collected 54 cases of relapsing-remitting MS patients and 54 healthy controls. By detecting the CCL2-2518A/G polymorphism of MS patients and analyzing the plasma CCL2 level. High levels of A/A genotype and A allele frequency in serum CCL2 and PBMC were found in MS patients. The serum CCL2 of MS patients with A/A genotype is higher than other genotypes. Lipopolysaccharide stimulated PBMC, CCL2 levels in the supernatant of all genotypes were higher, and the A/A genotype levels of MS patients were the highest. Finally, CCL2-2518A/G polymorphism is related to the pathogenesis of MS.

Abstract
Background We assessed the potential association between monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1) variants (rs1024611 and rs3760396) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) susceptibility among Chinese Han people. Material/Methods Our research included 129 AMD patients and 131 healthy controls. Genotyping for MCP-1 variants was performed in the 2 groups, and genotype and allele distributions were checked between groups by χ2 analysis. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) reflected the potential association between MCP-1 variants and AMD risk. The linkage disequilibrium of polymorphisms was detected using Haploview. Results Significant differences in rs1024611 genotype distributions were detected between the 2 groups, and homozygous carriers with GG genotype had higher AMD incidence (P<0.05, OR=2.650, 95% CI=1.127–6.231). The rs1024611 G allele frequency was significantly higher in AMD patients, suggesting that the G allele promotes AMD onset (P<0.05, OR=1.447, 95% CI=1.013–2.068). Strong linkage disequilibrium was found between rs1024611 and rs3760396, and haplotype Ars1024611–Crs3760396 was significantly associated with decreased risk of AMD (P=0.001, OR=0.502, 95% CI=0.335–0.752). Conclusions MCP-1 rs1024611 variant appears to contribute to risk of AMD in the Chinese Han population, and the interaction of MCP-1 polymorphisms may also influence individual susceptibility to AMD.

Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by multiple system involvement and positive serum autoantibodies. Lupus nephritis (LN) is the most common and serious complication of SLE, and it is the main cause of death in patients with SLE. Abnormalities in the immune system lead to LN and involve a variety of cells (T cells, B cells, macrophages, NK cells, etc.), cytokines (interleukin, tumor necrosis factor α, etc.) and their related pathways. Previous studies have shown that the interactions of genetic, epigenetic and environmental factors contribute to the pathogenesis and development of LN. In recent years, one genome-wide association study (GWAS) and a number of gene association studies have explored the susceptibility genes of LN, including immunization-, inflammation-, adhesion- and other pathway-related genes. These genes participate in or suggest the pathogenesis and progression of LN. In this review, we summarize the genetic susceptibility of LN and discuss the possible mechanism underlying the susceptibility genes of LN.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to assess IL-24 levels and their association with clinical manifestations in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). METHODS There were 75 patients with SLE and 58 healthy controls recruited in this study. Serum levels of IL-24 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, and mRNA levels of IL-24 were tested by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction . The area under the curve of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used for diagnostic ability of the inflammatory cytokine. RESULTS Serum IL-24 levels were significantly higher in SLE patients than that in healthy controls. SLE patients with nephritis had higher IL-24 levels than those without nephritis. Active SLE patients showed higher expression of IL-24 as compared to less active disease patients. The mRNA levels of IL-24 were much higher in SLE patients. Correlation analysis showed significant correlation between serum IL-24 levels and SLE disease activity index. In addition, ROC analysis may suggest good ability of serum IL-24 in differentiating SLE. CONCLUSION The inflammatory cytokine correlated with SLE disease activity, and may be involved in this disease pathogenesis.

Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease with unknown etiology. Nowadays, several long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been reported as molecular alterations involved in SLE. This study aimed to reveal the function of TNF-related and HNRNPL-related immunoregulatory lncRNA (THRIL) in SLE. Human epithelial HK-2 cells were exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to mimic an in vitro SLE model. Then, the functions of THRIL, miR-34a, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), as well as their correlations were detected. LncRNA THRIL was highly expressed in the LPS-stimulated cells, and THRIL overexpression aggravated LPS-induced cell damage as cell viability was decreased, and apoptosis and the release of proinflammatory cytokines were increased. THRIL worked as a sponge of microRNA-34a (miR-34a) and it could directly target MCP-1. Furthermore, MCP-1-activated JNK and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways. In conclusion, this study suggested that lncRNA THRIL might be a key regulator participating in LPS-induced injury in HK-2 cells. THRIL overexpression aggravated LPS-induced injury possibly via sponging miR-34a, and thus preventing MCP-1 from degradation by miR-34a. The THRIL/miR-34a/MCP-1 axis might play critical roles in SLE.

Abstract
Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) is involved in the pathogenesis of chronic kidney diseases (CKD). MCP-1 2518 A>G gene polymorphism is associated with MCP-1 status. We performed a meta-analysis to assess the association between MCP-1 2518 A>G gene polymorphism and CKD risk. The eligible studies regarding the relationship between MCP-1 2518 A>G gene polymorphism and CKD risk were searched through electronic databases. The pooled odds ratios (ORs) and its 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated by using a fixed-effects model, or in the presence of heterogeneity, a random-effects model. A total of 2415 cases and 2011 controls were recruited in our investigation. A allele/GG genotype was not associated with CKD risk in overall populations, Asians, Caucasians, and Africans. AA/AG genotype was not associated with the risk of CKD in overall populations, Asians, Caucasians, and Africans. AA genotype was associated with a lower risk of CKD in Caucasians (OR 0.816, 95% CI 0.703-0.947). AG genotype was associated with a higher risk of CKD in Caucasians (OR 1.230, 95% CI 1.042-1.452). There was no marked publication bias. In conclusion, AA genotype may be a protective factor against CKD susceptibility in Caucasians. AG genotype may be a risk factor for CKD risk in Caucasians. However, more studies are needed in the future.

Shi X, Zhang Y, Li B, Peng M, Yuan Y, Wang X, Li X, Yu D, Li Y, Qin D. NOTCH4 is a possible novel susceptibility gene for dilated cardiomyopathy in the Chinese population: A case-control study. J Clin Lab Anal 2018; 32:e22436. [PMID: 29577422 DOI: 10.1002/jcla.22436] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2017] [Accepted: 02/27/2018] [Indexed: 11/07/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) has increased in recent years, and many studies have sought to further improve the general understanding of this condition. Previous studies have demonstrated that some single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with systemic lupus erythematosus also affect susceptibility to DCM, suggesting that immune-related diseases may share similar genetic susceptibility. Recent large-scale and genome-wide association studies have identified NCR3, NOTCH4, CYP1A2, ITGA1, OPRM1, ST8SIA2, and LINC00704 as genetic risk factors associated with cardiac manifestations of neonatal lupus. Here, we aimed to determine whether these SNPs conferred susceptibility to DCM in the Chinese Han population. METHODS We investigated the relationship between these polymorphisms and DCM risk in 273 patients with DCM and 548 healthy controls. Genotyping was performed using MassArray iPLEX system. RESULTS Logistic regression analysis indicated that the T allele of rs3134942 in NOTCH4 gene increased the risk of DCM by 61% compared with the G allele (Pa = 6.57 × 10-3 ). The SNP rs3134942 was also significantly associated with increased DCM risk in the additive (Pa = 6.57 × 10-3 ) and dominant models (Pa = 1.01 × 10-2 ). Additionally, rs2472299 in CYP1A2 gene showed suggestive association with reduced risk of DCM in the dominant model (Pa = 4.24 × 10-2 ) and was correlated with smoking status in patients with DCM (Pa = 1.56 × 10-2 ). CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggested that rs3134942 in NOTCH4 may be involved in DCM risk. Further, studies in larger and ethnically diverse populations are required to confirm the results reported in this study.
