[PMID: 37284064 PMCID: PMC10239837 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2023.1128985] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2022] [Accepted: 05/10/2023] [Indexed: 06/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) affects approximately 400 million people worldwide and is associated with high mortality and morbidity. The effect of EPHX1 and GSTP1 gene polymorphisms on COPD risk has not been fully characterized. Objective: To investigate the association of EPHX1 and GSTP1 gene polymorphisms with COPD risk. Methods: A systematic search was conducted on 9 databases to identify studies published in English and Chinese. The analysis was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses reporting guidelines (PRISMA). The pooled OR and 95% CI were calculated to evaluate the association of EPHX1 and GSTP1 gene polymorphisms with COPD risk. The I2 test, Q test, Egger's test, and Begg's test were conducted to determine the level of heterogeneity and publication bias of the included studies. Results: In total, 857 articles were retrieved, among which 59 met the inclusion criteria. The EPHX1 rs1051740 polymorphism (homozygote, heterozygote, dominant, recessives, and allele model) was significantly associated with high risk of COPD risk. Subgroup analysis revealed that the EPHX1 rs1051740 polymorphism was significantly associated with COPD risk among Asians (homozygote, heterozygote, dominant, and allele model) and Caucasians (homozygote, dominant, recessives, and allele model). The EPHX1 rs2234922 polymorphism (heterozygote, dominant, and allele model) was significantly associated with a low risk of COPD. Subgroup analysis showed that the EPHX1 rs2234922 polymorphism (heterozygote, dominant, and allele model) was significantly associated with COPD risk among Asians. The GSTP1 rs1695 polymorphism (homozygote and recessives model) was significantly associated with COPD risk. Subgroup analysis showed that the GSTP1 rs1695 polymorphism (homozygote and recessives model) was significantly associated with COPD risk among Caucasians. The GSTP1 rs1138272 polymorphism (heterozygote and dominant model) was significantly associated with COPD risk. Subgroup analysis suggested that the GSTP1 rs1138272 polymorphism (heterozygote, dominant, and allele model) was significantly associated with COPD risk among Caucasians. Conclusion: The C allele in EPHX1 rs1051740 among Asians and the CC genotype among Caucasians may be risk factors for COPD. However, the GA genotype in EPHX1 rs2234922 may be a protective factor against COPD in Asians. The GG genotype in GSTP1 rs1695 and the TC genotype in GSTP1 rs1138272 may be risk factors for COPD, especially among Caucasians.

Abstract
Background: Previous studies have reported the association between IL-10 -1082 G > A polymorphism and preeclampsia risk, but the results remained controversial. Therefore, this meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the association of IL-10 -1082 G > A polymorphism with preeclampsia risk.Methods: We searched PubMed, ISI Web of Knowledge and CNKI databases to identify eligible studies up to September 05, 2019.Results: A total of 21 case-control studies with 3,510 cases and 5,874 controls were selected. The results revealed that IL-10 -1082 G > A polymorphism was significantly associated with an increased risk of preeclampsia under the recessive model (AA vs. AG + GG: OR = 1.191, 95% CI = 1.018-1.394, P = 0.029). Stratified analyses by ethnicity revealed a significantly increased risk of preeclampsia in Asian and mixed populations, but not in Caucasians. Moreover, there was a significant association among Chinese and Brazilian.Conclusions: Our results showed that IL-10 -1082 G > A polymorphism was significantly associated with an increased risk of preeclampsia.

Mol Genet Genomic Med 2019; 7:e888. [PMID: 31571432 PMCID: PMC6825845 DOI: 10.1002/mgg3.888] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2018] [Revised: 06/19/2019] [Accepted: 07/01/2019] [Indexed: 01/14/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have generated controversial results about the association of interleukin 10 (IL-10) gene polymorphisms (-1082G/A) in the progression of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Therefore, this study processed a systemic meta-analysis to verify this association. METHODS The publication studies on the IL-10 (-1082G/A) polymorphism and CVDs risk were obtained by searching PubMed and Embase databases. We analyzed the genotype data for meta-analysis. The results were evaluated by odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Meanwhile, our meta-analysis was also performed sensitivity analyses, heterogeneity test, and identification of publication bias. RESULTS The present meta-analysis suggested that the risk with allele G is lower than with allele A for CVD. The G allele of IL-10 (-1082) could increase the risk of CVDs in the 31 case-control studies for all genetic models. (OR = 1.10, 95% CI: 1.04-1.15 for the allele model A vs. G; OR = 0.87, 95% CI: 0.72-1.04 for the dominant model GG+AG vs. AA; OR = 1.03, 95% CI: 1.02-1.05 for the recessive model GG vs. AG + AA; OR = 1.06, 95% CI = 1.03-1.10 for the homozygote comparison model GG vs. AA; and OR = 0.88, 95% CI = 0.73-1.06 for the heterozygote comparison model AG vs. AA). CONCLUSIONS In genetic models, the association between the IL-10 (-1082G/A) polymorphism and CVDs risk was significant. This meta-analysis proposes that the IL-10 (-1082G/A) polymorphism may serve as a risk factor for CVDs.

ULTRASOUND IN OBSTETRICS & GYNECOLOGY : THE OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF ULTRASOUND IN OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY 2019; 54:16-27. [PMID: 30267475 DOI: 10.1002/uog.20117] [Citation(s) in RCA: 52] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2017] [Revised: 08/23/2018] [Accepted: 08/26/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Primary studies and systematic reviews provide estimates of varying accuracy for different factors in the prediction of pre-eclampsia. The aim of this study was to review published systematic reviews to collate evidence on the ability of available tests to predict pre-eclampsia, to identify high-value avenues for future research and to minimize future research waste in this field. METHODS MEDLINE, EMBASE and The Cochrane Library including DARE (Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects) databases, from database inception to March 2017, and bibliographies of relevant articles were searched, without language restrictions, for systematic reviews and meta-analyses on the prediction of pre-eclampsia. The quality of the included reviews was assessed using the AMSTAR tool and a modified version of the QUIPS tool. We evaluated the comprehensiveness of search, sample size, tests and outcomes evaluated, data synthesis methods, predictive ability estimates, risk of bias related to the population studied, measurement of predictors and outcomes, study attrition and adjustment for confounding. RESULTS From 2444 citations identified, 126 reviews were included, reporting on over 90 predictors and 52 prediction models for pre-eclampsia. Around a third (n = 37 (29.4%)) of all reviews investigated solely biochemical markers for predicting pre-eclampsia, 31 (24.6%) investigated genetic associations with pre-eclampsia, 46 (36.5%) reported on clinical characteristics, four (3.2%) evaluated only ultrasound markers and six (4.8%) studied a combination of tests; two (1.6%) additional reviews evaluated primary studies investigating any screening test for pre-eclampsia. Reviews included between two and 265 primary studies, including up to 25 356 688 women in the largest review. Only approximately half (n = 67 (53.2%)) of the reviews assessed the quality of the included studies. There was a high risk of bias in many of the included reviews, particularly in relation to population representativeness and study attrition. Over 80% (n = 106 (84.1%)) summarized the findings using meta-analysis. Thirty-two (25.4%) studies lacked a formal statement on funding. The predictors with the best test performance were body mass index (BMI) > 35 kg/m2 , with a specificity of 92% (95% CI, 89-95%) and a sensitivity of 21% (95% CI, 12-31%); BMI > 25 kg/m2 , with a specificity of 73% (95% CI, 64-83%) and a sensitivity of 47% (95% CI, 33-61%); first-trimester uterine artery pulsatility index or resistance index > 90th centile (specificity 93% (95% CI, 90-96%) and sensitivity 26% (95% CI, 23-31%)); placental growth factor (specificity 89% (95% CI, 89-89%) and sensitivity 65% (95% CI, 63-67%)); and placental protein 13 (specificity 88% (95% CI, 87-89%) and sensitivity 37% (95% CI, 33-41%)). No single marker had a test performance suitable for routine clinical use. Models combining markers showed promise, but none had undergone external validation. CONCLUSIONS This review of reviews calls into question the need for further aggregate meta-analysis in this area given the large number of published reviews subject to the common limitations of primary predictive studies. Prospective, well-designed studies of predictive markers, preferably randomized intervention studies, and combined through individual-patient data meta-analysis are needed to develop and validate new prediction models to facilitate the prediction of pre-eclampsia and minimize further research waste in this field.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Regardless of the familial linkage reported in pre-eclampsia development, understanding the polymorphic genes associated with pre-eclampsia remains limited. Hence, this review aims to outline the main genetic factors that have been investigated in respect to pre-eclampsia development. RECENT FINDINGS It is apparent that different genes show significance in varying populations. Notably, it is reported that apolipoprotein-1 gene polymorphisms are associated with pre-eclampsia development in an African-American population, which may be worthwhile to investigate in a Black South African cohort. Despite the research attention that is focused on this surreptitious syndrome, a definitive cause eludes scientists and physicians, alike. Genetic studies can fulfil a dual purpose of suggesting novel hypotheses through genome-wide screening and testing these hypotheses via candidate gene studies. However, publications to date have only presented inconsistent and conflicting results regarding candidate gene analysis.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The pathophysiology of preeclampsia is complex and not entirely understood. A key feature in preeclampsia development is an immunological imbalance that shifts the maternal immune response from one of tolerance towards one promoting chronic inflammation and endothelial dysfunction. As a key regulator of immunity, IL-10 not only has immunomodulatory activity, but also directly benefits vasculature and promotes successful cellular interactions at the maternal-fetal interface. Here we focus on the mechanisms by which the dysregulation of IL-10 may contribute to the pathophysiology of preeclampsia. RECENT FINDINGS Dysregulation of IL-10 has been demonstrated in various animal models of preeclampsia. Decreased IL-10 production in both placenta and peripheral blood mononuclear cells has been reported in human studies, but with inconsistent results. The significance of IL-10 in preeclampsia has shifted from a key biomarker to one with therapeutic potential. As such, a better understanding of the role of this cytokine in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia is of paramount importance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is implicated in several aspects of pregnancy. As genetic predisposition can be involved in the development of preeclampsia, the association between IL-10's promoter region polymorphisms and this pathology has been investigated, although with conflicting results. To date, only a small cohort study (total n = 40) has evaluated this association in the African continent, and none have been conducted in Tunisia. Hence, we evaluated the association between these polymorphisms and the risk of preeclampsia in a large Tunisian cohort. STUDY DESIGN 345 preeclampsia patients and 300 controls were genotyped for the IL-10 promoter region variants -1082A/G, -819C/T and -592A/C using real-time PCR. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Differences in means were determined by Student's t-test, while intergroup significance was assessed by Pearson χ2 or 2-way ANOVA. Genotypes were tested for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) in the control and cases. Logistic regression analysis was performed in order to determine the odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals associated with the linkage disequilibrium risk. RESULTS An increased frequency of the -819 T (minor) allele and the -819 T/T genotype was seen in preeclampsia cases. Also, three-locus haplotype (-1082AG/-819CT/-592AC) analysis identified the ATA haplotype as having a higher incidence in women with preeclampsia (OR = 1.48, 95% CI: 1.03-2.11) and this was confirmed by multivariate regression analysis (OR = 1.65, 95% CI: 1.13-2.43) after controlling for covariates. CONCLUSIONS We suggest that the IL-10 -819 T/T variant and the ATA haplotype, which are associated with low production of IL 10, represent genetic risk factors for preeclampsia in Tunisian women.

Abstract
Background This meta-analysis enabled us to obtain a precise estimation of the association between gene polymorphisms on chromosome 1 (MTHFR, AGT, F5, IL-10, LEPR) and the susceptibility to pre-eclampsia (PE) in order to reach a uniform conclusion. Material/Methods Web of Science, PubMed, EMBASE, Cochran Library (CENTRAL), and Chinese databases (Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure-CNKI and Wan Fang) were electronically searched to select relevant studies for this meta-analysis. We selected 95 case-control studies investigating 5 genes (MTHFR, AGT, F5, IL-10, and LEPR) with 8 SNPs. Odds ratios (OR) with their 95% confidence intervals (CI) were used for estimating the association. Results A total of 16 646 PE patients and 28 901 normal-pregnancy patients were included in this meta-analysis. The overall results suggested that rs1801133 of MTHFR (OR=1.17, 95% CI: 1.05–1.13) and rs6025 of F5 (OR=1.53, 95%CI: 1.07–2.20) are significantly associated with PE, whereas rs1801131 of MTHFR, rs699 and rs4762 of AGT, rs1800896 and rs1800871 of IL-10, and rs1137101 of LEPR have no significant association with PE. Subgroup analysis by ethnicity revealed that, except for MTHFR rs1801133 and F5 rs6025 in Caucasians, which were significantly associated with an increased risk of PE, none of these SNPs were significantly associated with PE. As suggested by a symmetric funnel plot in conjunction with the Egger’s test, there was no significant publication bias in MTHFR rs1801133 (P=0.318) and rs1801131 (P=0.204), F5 rs6025 (P=0.511), LEPR rs1137101 (P=0.511), AGT rs4762 (P=0.215) and rs699 (P=0.482), IL-10 rs1800871 (P=0.955), and rs1800896 (P=0.144). Conclusions This meta-analysis provides evidence that MTHFR rs1801133 and F5 rs6025 are associated with an increased risk of PE, especially in Caucasians. However, we do not have sufficient evidence to conclude there is a significant association between other gene polymorphisms and PE.
