Abstract
One of the important genetic factors related to resistance to HIV-1 infection is the presence of the C-C chemokine receptor type 5 delta 32 (CCR5-Δ32) homozygous genotype (Δ32/Δ32). The aim of this study was to evaluate the CCR5-Δ32 mutation among individuals with high-risk behaviors, neonates born to HIV-1-infected mothers in the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) project, HIV-1-infected individuals, and healthy people. The frequency of the CCR5-Δ32 genotype was assessed in a cross-sectional survey carried out from March 2014 to March 2019 among four different groups of the Iranian population. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of 140 Iranian healthy people, 84 neonates born to HIV-1-infected mothers in the PMTCT project, 71 people with high-risk behaviors, and 76 HIV-1-infected individuals. The polymerase chain reaction method was used for the amplification of the CCR5 gene. The CCR5-Δ32 heterozygous deletion was detected in five (6.6%) HIV-1-infected individuals, four (4.7%) neonates born to HIV-1 positive mothers, two (1.4%) healthy people, and also three (4.2%) people with high-risk behaviors whereas the CCR5-Δ32 homozygous deletion was absent in all the groups (Fisher's exact test, P = .0242). The allele of CCR5-Δ32 homozygous was not detected in the four study groups, and no significant difference was seen in the frequency of the CCR5Δ32 heterozygous allele between HIV seropositive and seronegative individuals. Therefore, it seems that this allele alone cannot explain the natural resistance to HIV-1 infection and probably several mechanisms are responsible for these processes and it should be further investigated.

Polymorphisms in PCSK9, LDLR, BCMO1, SLC12A3, and KCNJ1 are Associated with Serum Lipid Profile in Chinese Han Population. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2019; 16:ijerph16173207. [PMID: 31480784 PMCID: PMC6747169 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph16173207] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2019] [Revised: 08/30/2019] [Accepted: 08/31/2019] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Unfavorable serum lipid levels are the most important risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD), cerebral infarction, and other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. This study included 2323 Han Chinese in southern China. We collected medical reports, lifestyle details, and blood samples of individuals and used the polymerase chain reaction-ligase detection reaction method to genotype single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Two SNPs showed a strong evidence of association with total cholesterol (TC): rs1003723 and rs6413504 in the low-density lipoproteins receptor (LDLR). Two SNPs in LDLR showed a strong evidence of association with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), rs1003723 and rs6413504. Two SNPs showed a strong evidence of association with triglycerides (TG), namely, rs662145 in pro-protein convertase subtilisin-kexin type 9 (PCSK9) and rs11643718 in the solute carrier family 12 member 3 (SLC12A3). For the TC, LDL-C, and TG levels, these SNPs generated strong combined effects on these lipid levels. For each additional dangerous gene, TC increased by 0.085 mmol/L (p = 7.00 × 10−6), and LDL-C increased by 0.075 mmol/L (p = 9.00 × 10−6). The TG increased by 0.096 mmol/L (p = 2.90 × 10−5). Compared with those bearing no risk alleles, the risk of hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia, and dyslipidemia increased in those with two or more risk alleles and one risk gene. Polymorphisms of PCSK9, LDLR, and SLC12A3 were associated with the plasma lipid levels in people in southern China. These results provide a theoretical basis for gene screening and the prevention of dyslipidemia.

Abstract
The CC chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) is a chemokine receptor which is widely expressed in several immune cells involved in the inflammatory responses. Previous published studies revealed the relation of the CCR5 gene (CCR5-delta32) with the risk of HIV-1 infection, but the results are debatable and inconclusive. Here by meta-analysis, we have systematically evaluated the relation between the CCR5-delta32 polymorphism and the risk of HIV-1 infection. A comprehensive search in PubMed, EMBASE, CNKI, Cochrane Library, and WanFang database was performed up to April 15, 2018. The pooled odds ratio (ORs) along with its 95% credible interval (95%CI) was used to evaluate the relation between the CCR5-delta32 polymorphism and HIV-1 infection risk. The study included 24 case-control studies involving 4,786 HIV-1 infection patients and 6,283 controls. Compared with the wild-type homozygous genotypes, the results showed that the CCR5-delta32 heterozygotes (OR=1.16, 95%CI=1.02-1.32) had an increased susceptibility to HIV-1 and the delta32 homozygous (OR=0.25, 95%CI=0.09-0.68) had significantly reduced the susceptibility to HIV-1 for healthy controls. Moreover, we have found the delta32 allele carriers (OR=0.71, 95%CI=0.54-0.94) had significantly cut down the HIV-1 infection susceptibility when using exposed uninfected (EU) as controls. We also conducted the stratified analysis by ethnicity, and there significant association was detected in Caucasian in delta32 allele carrier genotype. To summarize, our meta-analysis suggests that the CCR5-delta32 homozygous genotype (delta32/delta32) confer possible protection against HIV-1, especially the exposed uninfected groups.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Genetic polymorphism of viral receptors is relevant to risks of HIV-1 infection, while it is still under debated whether the polymorphism of SDF1, a unique ligand for HIV-1 coreceptor CXCR4, is associated with HIV susceptibility and AIDS disease progression. Therefore, we provided an updated quantitative assessment by meta-analysis from 16 case-control and 7 cohort studies. METHODS Articles reporting the relationship between SDF1 polymorphism and HIV susceptibility or AIDS progression were retrieved from PubMed, Embase and Ovid electronic databases up to Apr 2017. Data were pooled by odds ratios (ORs) for HIV-1 infection with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and summary relative hazards (RHs) for AIDS progression with 95% CIs using 1987 Center for Disease Control (CDC) case definition of AIDS (CDC87) and 1993 Center for Disease Control (CDC) case definition of AIDS (CDC93) and death as endpoints. RESULTS As a result, 16 studies regarding susceptibility to HIV-1 infection with 2803 HIV-infected patients and 3697 healthy individuals and 7 studies regarding disease progression with 4239 subjects were included in the meta-analysis. For risks of infection, no evidences indicated SDF1 polymorphism was associated with the risk of HIV-1 infection in all genetic models (recessive model: OR = 0.94, 95% Cl: 0.75-1.17; homozygous model: OR = 0.89, 95% Cl: 0.70-1.15; heterozygous model: OR = 1.06, 95% Cl: 0.83-1.35; allele model: OR = 0.95, 95% Cl: 0.79-1.13), Furthermore, we failed to find an delayed AIDS progression except in some specific cohorts including MACS cohorts (RH = 0.38, 95% Cl: 0.17-0.59 for time to AIDS; RH = 0.27, 95% Cl: 0.07-0.46 for time to death at the study entry). CONCLUSIONS Overall, no significant association was found between SDF1 polymorphism and HIV susceptibility. A protective effect of SDF1 on AIDS progression and death was seen especially in two studies based on the same cohorts. In conclusion, SDF1 polymorphism exerts a moderate protective effect against AIDS disease deterioration in some specific populations.

Polymorphisms in CCR5Δ32 and Risk of HIV-1 Infection in the Southeast of Caspian Sea, Iran. DISEASE MARKERS 2017; 2017:4190107.

Abstract
Prevalence of CCR5Δ32 among blood samples of more than 400 healthy and HIV-1-infected people was investigated in Iran. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) following DNA extraction was used. Desired frequency was analyzed by Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) analysis and SPSS 16.0 software to harvest the results. The prevalence of CCRΔ32 heterozygote genotype was 3% in healthy people and 0.7% in HIV-1–infected individuals. There was no homozygote CCR5Δ32 in both groups, and the allele Δ32 was only observed in 1.5% and 0.36% of healthy and HIV-1–infected participants, respectively. Therefore according to this study, the frequency of the allele CCR5Δ32 indicates no significant difference between either groups (p = 0.18) and it sounds that the mentioned mutation in heterozygote people would not affect their susceptibility against HIV infection. Genotyping trial in Iranians with HIV infection is supposed to be helpful as a matter of prognostic purposes.

The effects of killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) genes on susceptibility to HIV-1 infection in the Polish population. Immunogenetics 2016; 68:327-37. [PMID: 26888639 PMCID: PMC4842214 DOI: 10.1007/s00251-016-0906-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2015] [Accepted: 02/01/2016] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) are the most polymorphic receptors of natural killer (NK) cells. Their activity diversifies the functions of NK cells in the antiviral immune response, so the presence of certain KIR may affect transmission of HIV-1. The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of KIR genes on the susceptibility to HIV-1 infection in the Polish population depending on the route of exposure. We determined the frequencies of activating (2DS1, 2DS2, 2DS3, 2DS4f, 2DS4del, 2DS5, 3DS1) and inhibitory (2DL1, 2DL2, 2DL3, 2DL5, 3DL1) KIRs in HIV-1-positive patients (n = 459), individuals exposed to HIV-1 but uninfected (EU, n = 118) and in uninfected, healthy blood donors (BD, n = 98). Analysis was performed using stepwise logistic regression. Apart from KIRs, CCR5-∆32, and CCR2-64I, alleles were also analyzed, as we knew or suspected that these features could affect susceptibility to HIV infection. The regression confirmed the protective effect of CCR5-∆32 (OR = 0.25, p = 0.006) and CCR2-64I (OR = 0.59, p = 0.032) against HIV infection. Among KIR genes, 2DL3 was found to be a protective factor (OR = 0.30, p = 0.015). A similar effect was seen for 3DS1 but only in intravenous drug users (IDUs) (OR = 0.30, p = 0.019), not in sexually exposed people. 2DL5 was found to be a factor facilitating HIV infection (OR = 2.13, p = 0.013). A similar effect was observed for 2DL2 but only in females (OR = 2.15, p = 0.040), and 2DS1 in IDUs (OR = 3.03, p = 0.022). Our results suggest a beneficial role of KIR3DS1 and 2DL3 supporting resistance to HIV infection and a harmful effect of 2DS1, 2DL5, and 2DL2 genes promoting HIV acquisition.

Abstract
Despite repeated exposures to HIV-1, some individuals remain uninfected, suggesting that genetic factors confer host resistance to HIV-1 acquisition. The chemokine receptors CCR5, CXCR4 and the principal ligand SDF1 of CXCR4 play an important role for the entry of HIV-1 to target cells. To explore the relationship between genetic variants and HIV-1 infection, 11 common SNPs in CCR5, CXCR4 and SDF1 were genotyped in 921 male intravenous drug users (IDUs), of which 263 individuals were HIV-1-exposed seropositive (HESP) and 658 were HIV-1-exposed seronegative (HESN). According to the situation of syringe-sharing, the whole cohort was divided into two subgroups: syringe-sharing (SS) and syringe-not-sharing (SNS). We found that in the SNS subgroup rs17540465 of SDF1 showed significant difference of allele and genotype frequencies between HESP IDUs and HESN IDUs, but not in the SS subgroup. HESP with SNS carried significantly less allele A compared with HESN with SNS, indicating a protective role of allele A against HIV-1 infection. Syringe-sharing IDUs are supposed to be exposed highly to HIV-1 infection risk due to the direct transfer of HIV-1 infected blood to another. For syringe-not-sharing IDUs, sexual contact may be the major route of HIV-1 transmission. Considering the different route of HIV-1 transfection between two subgroups, we speculate that SDF1 may contribute susceptibility to HIV-1 infection in the route of sexual intercourse.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The genotypic polymorphisms of CCR5, CCR2, and SDF1 were analyzed to determine their impact as potential confounders with regard to disease progression because of the role that host genetic factors appear to be involved in determining rates of disease progression. METHODS Genomic DNA was extracted from Ethylenediaminetetraacetate whole blood using Qiagen DNA extraction kit. The amplification of CCR5, CCR2, and SDF1 genes was performed by PCR. RESULTS Two hundred and twenty-one samples were genotyped for the CCR5, CCR2, and SDF1 mutation. Among these, all (100%) were identified as wild type for CCR5. All were then investigated considering the impact on CD4+ T-cell counts. Samples were divided into two groups based on the CD4+ T-cell numbers. It revealed that in the group of CD4+ T-cell counts ≥200 cells/μl, 15 were found for the homozygous for SDF1 gene (3'A/3'A) whereas one was found in the group of CD4+ T-cell counts <200 cells/μl. Homozygosity for the CCR2 polymorphisms (64I/64I) were five in the group of CD4+ T-cell counts ≥200 cells/μl and none were found in the group of CD4+ T-cell counts <200 cells/μl. These results demonstrated that there was a significant association between CD4+ T-cell numbers and CCR2 and SDF1 polymorphisms (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The mutation of CCR2 and SDF1 genes showed a significant difference in the distribution of CD4+ T-cell numbers (P < 0.001) whereas mutation of chemokine coreceptor CCR5 was not appeared to be associated with the impact of CD4+ T-cell counts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND So far, many studies have investigated the distribution of CCR5 genotype between HIV-1 infected patients and uninfected people. However, no definite results have been put forward about whether heterozygosity for a 32-basepair deletion in CCR5 gene (CCR5-Δ32) can affect HIV-1 susceptibility. METHODS We performed a meta-analysis of 18 studies including more than 12000 subjects for whom the CCR5-Δ32 polymorphism was genotyped. Odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) were employed to assess the association of CCR5-Δ32 polymorphism with HIV-1 susceptibility. RESULTS Compared with the wild-type CCR5 homozygotes, the pooled OR for CCR5-Δ32 heterozygotes was 1.02 (95%CI, 0.88-1.19) for healthy controls (HC) and 0.95 (95%CI, 0.71-1.26) for exposed uninfected (EU) controls. Similar results were found in stratified analysis by ethnicity, sample size and method of CCR5-Δ32 genotyping. CONCLUSIONS The meta-analysis indicated that HIV-1 susceptibility is not significantly affected by heterozygosity for CCR5-Δ32.

Abstract
The chemokine CXCL12 and its receptor CXCR4 have been found to be important in tumor progression. A single-nucleotide polymorphism of CXCL12 G801A has been described and investigated in human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) infection and in the susceptibility to several cancers. Here, we investigated the association between the CXCL12 G801A polymorphism and susceptibility to benign and malignant salivary gland tumors (SGTs) by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) in 102 Chinese SGT patients and 101 healthy controls. The frequencies of the AG (P = 0.001; odds ratio (OR), 3.764) and AA (P = 0.004; OR, 6.852) genotypes of CXCL12 were significantly higher in patients with benign SGTs than in the healthy controls. The frequency of the A allele of CXCL12 was also significantly higher in benign SGTs (P = 0.00; OR, 1.395) compared with the healthy controls. However, the AG (P = 0.171; OR, 3.163) and AA (P = 0.854; OR, 0.667) genotypes did not increase the risk of malignant SGTs significantly. The frequency of the CXCL12 A allele was also not found to be higher in malignant SGTs (P = 0.267; OR, 1.917) compared with the controls. Taken together, our results suggested that the CXCL12 G801A polymorphism is associated with an increased risk of benign SGTs, but not malignant SGTs, in the Chinese population.
