Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune inflammatory arthritis. Despite many treatment advances, achieving remission or low-disease activity in RA remains challenging, often requiring trial and error approaches with numerous medications. Precision medicine, particularly pharmacogenomics, explores how genetic factors influence drug response in individual patients, and incorporates such factors to develop personalized treatments for individual patients. Genetic variations in drug-metabolizing enzymes, transporters, and targets may contribute to inter-individual differences in drug efficacy and toxicity. Advancements in molecular sequencing have allowed rapid identification of such variants, including single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). This review highlights recent major findings in the pharmacogenetics of therapies in RA, focusing on key genes and SNPs to provide insights into current trends and developments in this field.

[PMID: 33632596 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejim.2021.02.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2020] [Revised: 01/15/2021] [Accepted: 02/08/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
UNLABELLED Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a complex autoimmune disease that affects about 1% of the world's population. The conclusions about the relationship between TGF gene polymorphism and the risk of RA are still inconsistent. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to re-evaluate the relationship between TGF-β1 T869C gene polymorphism and the risk of rheumatoid arthritis. METHOD We performed a systematic electronic search in PubMed, Embase, Elsevier, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Medline and China National Knowledge Infrastructure database (up to August 2020). In the subgroup analysis, we divide the research into three groups: Asian, European and Mediterranean, The combined OR and 95%CI of the five models (allele model, homozygous model, heterozygous model, dominant model, recessive model) were calculated, respectively. RESULTS 15 case-control studies (14 articles) were involved in this meta-analysis, including 2103 cases and 2143 healthy controls. In the overall analysis, it showed that there may be an significant association between TGF-β1+869T/C polymorphism and RA sensitivity (allele model, T vs. C: OR=1.444, 95% CI=1.171-1.782, P=0.001; homozygous model, TT vs. CC: OR=1.910, 95% CI=1.322-2.761, P=0.001; heterozygous model, CT vs. CC: OR=1.558, 95% CI=1.179-2.059,P=0.002; dominant model, TT+CT vs. CC: OR= 1.742, 95% CI=1.303-2.329, P=0.001; recessive model, TT vs. CT+CC: OR=1.400, 95% CI= 1.058-1.852, P=0.018).However, the results of ethnic subgroup analysis indicated that rs1982073 was not associated with RA risk in Europeans(allele model, T vs. C: OR=0.993, 95% CI=0.849-1.162, P=0.931, I2 <0.1%, P>0.1). CONCLUSION In summary, our meta-analysis showed that the rs1982073 T allele does not increase RA susceptibility in Europeans.

The association of transforming growth factor beta 1 gene polymorphisms with arthritis: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Clin Exp Med 2021; 21:331-340. [PMID: 33417083 DOI: 10.1007/s10238-020-00678-5] [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: 10/10/2020] [Accepted: 12/04/2020] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
The objective of this study was to explore the association between transformation growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) gene polymorphisms and different types of arthritis. PubMed, Medline, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Biosis and four Chinese databases: China Biology Medicine, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang and CQVIP, were searched. Studies that analyzed the association of the TGF-β1 polymorphisms with different types of arthritis were included. OR, 95% confidence interval and P value were calculated in three models including allele, dominant and recessive models, using D + L method. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was used to assess the quality of the included studies. TGF-β1 869T > C polymorphism was significantly associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in allele and recessive models, but not in dominant model (allele model T vs. C: OR = 1.30, 95% CI = 1.13-1.49, P < 0.001; recessive model CC vs. TT + TC: OR = 0.57, 95% CI = 0.43-0.76, P < 0.001; dominant model TT vs. TC + CC: OR = 1.20, 95% CI = 0.99-1.45, P = 0.063). Additionally, allele and recessive models showed that TGF-β1 -509C > T was significantly correlated with RA susceptibility, while dominant model revealed nonsignificant correlation (allele model: C vs. T: OR = 1.51; 95% CI = 1.00-2.28; P = 0.049; recessive model: TT vs. CC + TC: OR = 0.52, 95% CI = 0.37-0.72, P = 0.000; dominant model: CC vs. TT + TC: OR = 1.48; 95% CI = 0.79-2.76; P = 0.223). However, no significant association was found between TGF-β1 polymorphisms and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) or osteoarthritis (OA) risk. This study demonstrated that 869T > C, -509 C > T polymorphisms of TGF-β1 gene were associated with increased susceptibility of RA, while polymorphisms of TGF-β1 gene were not associated with OA and AS. These findings suggest that studying TGF-β1 genotype may be useful in the prevention and management of RA. However, more studies are needed to evaluate the association of TGF-β1 gene polymorphisms with the susceptibility of OA and AS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This meta-analysis was performed to investigate the associations between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the TGF- β and Smad3 genes and arthritis. METHODS A meta-analysis was performed in STATA 14.0, with publication bias and meta-regression analysis. All types of arthritis were included, and subgroup analyses were performed to interpret variations among different types of arthritis. RESULTS Twenty-two qualified studieswere selected to analyze the pooled accuracy, and 4 SNP sites were involved. The analysis of the TGFB1 SNP rs1800470 showed an association with arthritis in allelic (P = 0.011), homozygous (P = 0.034) and recessive (P = 0.021) genetic models. The analysis of the TGFB1 SNP rs1800471 demonstrated a close association with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in homozygous (P = 0.000, 95%) and recessive (P = 0.008) models. The analysis of the SMAD3 SNP rs12901499 revealed a close association with osteoarthritis (OA) in the allelic (P = 0.001) model. CONCLUSION This research showed that genetic variants of the TGF-β pathway impact arthritis. The polymorphisms rs1800470, rs1800471 and rs12901499 were correlated with a higher prevalence of arthritis.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune and progressive disease. Evidence indicates that inflammatory mediators may contribute to the genesis and/or evolution of this clinical condition. Thus, the objective was to evaluate and compare the plasma levels of Interleukin-17 (IL-17), Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha (TNF-α) and Complement 3 (C3) in women with RA and healthy controls (HC), as well as to evaluate the association them with the disease activity. 25 women with RA and 15 HC were recruited. Plasma levels of biomarkers were measured by ELISA. All statistical analyzes were performed with a significance level set at α = 0.05. In the women with RA, the median age was 55 and, in the HC, was 50 years. The median value of DAS-28 was 3.79. The plasma levels of IL-17 (p = .03), TNF-α (p ≤ 0.01) and C3 (p ≤ 0.01) were higher in women with RA. The ROC curve showed that TNF- α has a higher discriminating ability than IL-17 and C3. DAS-28 score correlated significantly with C3 levels in women with RA (r = 0.91; p < .01). These findings reaffirm the participation of the immune system in pathophysiology of RA, suggest that TNF-α levels may be a good biomarker and that elevated C3 levels contribute to the worsening of the disease.

TNF-β +252 A>G (rs909253) polymorphism is independently associated with presence of autoantibodies in rheumatoid arthritis patients. Clin Exp Med 2019; 19:347-356.

Abstract
The TNF-β +252 A>G (rs909253) polymorphism has been associated with a risk of development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and could influence plasma tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) levels. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association between the TNF-β +252 A>G polymorphism with plasma TNF-α levels, the presence of autoantibodies, and the susceptibility for RA. This cross-sectional study included 261 patients with RA and 292 controls. The polymorphism was studied using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Soluble TNF-α and receptors swere measured by multiplex assay. Rheumatoid factor (RF) and anticyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies (anti-CCP) were measured using immunoassay. No differences were observed in allele frequency and genotype distribution among patients and controls. The presence of RF (p = 0.020) and anti-CCP (p = 0.001) increased 4.23-fold and 8.13-fold, respectively, in patients with B1 allele (B1/B2 + B1/B1 genotypes) independently of demographic, clinical, and inflammatory markers. Among patients with B1/B2 + B1/B1 genotypes, higher TNF-α levels were associated with positive RF (p = 0.040), anti-CCP (p = 0.011), or both (p = 0.038). In patients carrying B1 allele, the increased sTNFR1 together with RF or anti-CCP or both explained about 39.0% the variations in TNF-α level. However, in B2/B2 genotype, the presence of those autoantibodies was not associated with TNF-α level. Our findings indicate that the TNF-β +252 A>G polymorphism was not associated with RA susceptibility and TNF-α plasma levels. However, B1 allele was associated with the presence of autoantibodies. In addition, interaction between the presence of B1 allele and autoantibodies was associated with the increase of plasma TNF-α level in RA patients.
