Ma Y, Ma M, Ye S, Liu Y, Zhao X, Wang Y. Association of IL-17 and IL-27 polymorphisms with susceptibility to recurrent pregnancy loss and pre-eclampsia: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Immun Inflamm Dis 2023; 11:e1057. [PMID: 37904702 PMCID: PMC10599280 DOI: 10.1002/iid3.1057] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2023] [Revised: 09/26/2023] [Accepted: 10/09/2023] [Indexed: 11/01/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) and pre-eclampsia (PE) are immune-related pregnancy complications that have been linked to CD4+ T cells and their cytokines, which can be influenced by genetic polymorphisms. This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the relationship between interleukin (IL)-17 and -27 polymorphisms and the susceptibility to RPL and PE. METHODS All eligible case-control studies published up to February 2023 were identified by searching PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. The risk of recurrent pregnancy loss and PE associated with the IL-17 rs2275913, IL-17 rs763780, IL-27 rs153109, and IL-27 rs17855750 polymorphisms were estimated for each study. RESULTS The meta-analysis incorporated a total of 13 studies. The overall analysis indicated that IL-17 rs2275913, IL-17 rs763780, IL-27 rs153109, and IL-27 rs17855750 polymorphisms were not significantly associated with immune-related pregnancy complications, including RPL and PE. However, when the analysis was stratified by disease type, the IL-17 rs2275913 polymorphism was found to be associated with an increased risk of RPL (recessive model AA/GA + GG: OR = 1.68, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.13-2.49, p = .01). CONCLUSIONS The IL-17 rs763780, IL-27 rs153109, and IL-27 rs17855750 polymorphisms were not significantly associated with RPL and PE, whereas the IL-17 rs2275913 polymorphism was associated with the susceptibility to recurrent miscarriage.

Abstract
The early diagnosis of preeclampsia, a key outlook in improving pregnancy outcomes, still remains elusive. The present study aimed to examine the interleukin-13 and interleukin-4 pathway potential in the early detection of preeclampsia as well as the relationship between interleukin-13 rs2069740(T/A) and rs34255686(C/A) polymorphisms and preeclampsia risk to present a combined model. This study utilized raw data from the GSE149440 microarray dataset, and an expression matrix was constructed using the RMA method and affy package. The genes related to the interleukin-13 and interleukin-4 pathway were extracted from the GSEA, and their expression levels were applied to design multilayer perceptron and PPI graph convolutional neural network models. Moreover, genotyping for the rs2069740(T/A) and rs34255686(C/A) polymorphisms of the interleukin-13 gene were tested using the amplification refractory mutation system PCR method. The outcomes revealed that the expression levels of interleukin-4 and interleukin-13 pathway genes could significantly differentiate early preeclampsia from normal pregnancy. Moreover, the present study's data suggested significant differences in the genotype distribution, the allelic frequencies and some of the risk markers of the study, in the position of rs34255686 and rs2069740 polymorphisms between the case and control groups. A combined test of two single nucleotide polymorphisms and an expression-based deep learning model could be designed for future preeclampsia diagnostic purposes.

Medicine (Baltimore) 2023; 102:e33578. [PMID: 37083793 PMCID: PMC10118315 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000033578] [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: 02/18/2023] [Accepted: 03/30/2023] [Indexed: 04/22/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this meta-analysis is to evaluate the association of interleukin-27 gene rs153109 and rs17855750 polymorphisms with preeclampsia susceptibility and severity. METHODS Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, CBM, WanFang Data, CNKI, and VIP database were used for retrieving. After screening with our inclusion and exclusion criteria, data extraction and quantity evaluation were performed by 2 independent authors. Included case-control studies were used for meta-analysis by RevMan 5.4, and sensitivity analysis was carried out through 1-by-1 exclusion procedure. If heterogeneity exists, then random effects model was used; otherwise, fixed effect model was used. Publication bias analysis was performed using Begg test and Egger test. Trial sequential analysis was performed using trial sequential analysis 0.9.5.10 Beta. RESULTS A total of 5 articles were included. The heterogeneity was high across most models during the meta-analysis. Meta-analysis results related to preeclampsia susceptibility showed that P values of all the models were higher than .05, while for meta-analysis results related to preeclampsia severity showed that P values of all the models were higher than .05 except for TT versus TG + GG and TT versus TG models of rs17855750 group. The sensitivity of the meta-analysis was high, and trial sequential analysis showed the possibility of false negative results. No obvious publication bias was found. CONCLUSIONS There is no obvious association between interleukin-27 gene rs153109 and rs17855750 polymorphisms and preeclampsia susceptibility or severity. However, more multi-center and large sample case-control studies are expected to be carried out to verify our conclusion in the future.

Association between gene polymorphisms of IL-12, IL-12 receptor and IL-27 and organ involvement in Iranian endometriosis patients. Int J Immunogenet 2023; 50:24-33. [PMID: 36328955 DOI: 10.1111/iji.12606] [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: 08/01/2022] [Revised: 10/07/2022] [Accepted: 10/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
Endometriosis is an inflammatory disease characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue, immune cell dysfunction and abnormal cytokine secretion. In addition to immunological factors, genetic variations that influence endometriosis severity and cytokine expression levels play important roles in the pathogenesis of this disease. Interleukin-12 (IL-12), specifically its p40 subunit encoded by IL-12B gene and the interleukin-12 receptor β1 (IL-12Rβ2) chain of its receptor, as well as interleukin-27 (IL-27) are important in the establishment of endometriosis. So, in this study, we measured IL-12 and IL-27 serum levels and investigated the possible links between IL-12B rs3212227, IL-12Rβ2 rs3790565 and IL-27 rs153109 polymorphisms and the risk of developing endometriosis in a group of Iranian women. In this case-control study, 162 endometriosis patients and 151 healthy women were included and tested for the aforementioned polymorphisms using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method was also used to measure IL-12 and IL-27 serum levels. Although there was no statistically significant association between the genotypes and alleles of the studied polymorphisms and the development of endometriosis in general, the AA genotype of IL-12B rs3212227 showed a significant association with uterine endometriosis when compared to AC+CC genotypes (p = .04, CI = 0.270-0.988, OR = 0.517). Indeed, the AA genotype of the IL-12B rs3212227 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) may be linked with a lower risk of developing uterine endometriosis. There was no significant difference in IL-27 levels between the two studied groups (p = .49), and IL-12 levels were undetectable in both groups. In conclusion, the AA genotype of IL-12B rs3212227 might be associated with a decreased risk of uterine involvement in endometriosis patients.

Abstract
Preeclampsia (PE) is a hypertensive disease that affects pregnant women after 20 weeks of gestation. This disease is associated with an important risk of maternal and fetal mortality. PE is described as a placental pathology because, after delivery, most women recover normal arterial pressure. Poor invasion of the spiral arteries is a phenomenon well described in PE; this leads to a hypoxic uterine bed and imbalance of antiangiogenic and proangiogenic factors in the uteroplacental region, which in turn triggers the disease phenotype. The causes of the pathology are unclear; nevertheless, numerous approaches, including next-generation sequencing, association, and case control and miRNA studies, have shed light on the genetic/molecular basis of PE. These studies help us better understand the disease to advance new treatment strategies.

Abstract
Women live longer than men but experience greater disability and a longer period of illness as they age. Despite clear sex differences in aging, the impact of pregnancy and its complications, such as preeclampsia, on aging is an underexplored area of geroscience. This review summarizes our current knowledge about the complex links between pregnancy and age-related diseases, including evidence from epidemiology, clinical research, and genetics. We discuss the relationship between normal and pathological pregnancy and maternal aging, using preeclampsia as a primary example. We review the results of human genetics studies of preeclampsia, including genome wide association studies (GWAS), and attempted to catalog genes involved in preeclampsia as a gateway to mechanisms underlying an increased risk of later life cardio- and neuro- vascular events. Lastly, we discuss challenges in interpreting the GWAS of preeclampsia and provide a functional genomics framework for future research needed to fully realize the promise of GWAS in identifying targets for geroprotective prevention and therapeutics against preeclampsia.

Potential Contribution of IL-27 and IL-23 Gene Polymorphisms to Multiple Sclerosis Susceptibility: An Association Analysis at Genotype and Haplotype Level. J Clin Med 2021; 11:jcm11010037. [PMID: 35011777 PMCID: PMC8745323 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11010037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2021] [Revised: 12/17/2021] [Accepted: 12/18/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: interleukin 23 (IL-23) and interleukin 27 (IL-27) modulate the activity of T helper 17 cells (Th17) with critical roles in autoimmune diseases and multiple sclerosis (MS). The genes responsible for cytokine generation are highly influenced by the presence of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in main regions such as regulatory sequences or in promoter regions, contributing to disease susceptibility and evolution. The present study analyzed the associations of IL-23 and IL-27 SNPs with susceptibility to multiple sclerosis. (2) Methods: We performed a case-control study including 252 subjects: 157 patients diagnosed with MS and 95 controls. We used polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) to determine the genotypes for IL-27 T4730C (rs 181206), IL-27 A964G (rs 153109), and IL-23 receptor gene (IL-23R) G1142A (rs 11209026). (3) Results: The IL27-T4730C gene polymorphism was significantly associated with an increased odds of MS under the dominant genetic model (TC + CC variant genotypes, adjusted odds ratio OR = 4.06, 95% CI: 2.14–7.83, p-value = 0.000007, Q-value = 0.000063). Individuals carrying the IL-27 A924G variant (AG + GG) genotype presented higher odds of MS compared to non-carriers under the dominant model (adjusted OR = 1.93, 95% CI: 1.05–3.51, p-value = 0.0324, Q-value = 0.05832) and the allelic genetic model (unadjusted p-value = 0.015, OR = 1.58, 95% CI: 1.09–2.28), while IL-23-R381Q SNP conferred a decreased odds of MS under a codominant model of inheritance (adjusted OR = 0.26, 95% CI: 0.08–0.92, p-value = 0.0276, Q-value = 0.058) and an allelic model (unadjusted p-value = 0.008, OR = 0.23, 95% CI: 0.07–0.75). In an additive model with adjustment for age group (≤40 years vs. >40 years), sex and smoking, patients carrying the G-C (A964G, T4730C) haplotype had a 3.18 increased risk (95% CI: 1.74–5.81, p < 0.001) to develop multiple sclerosis. (4) Conclusions: The results of the current study showed a significant relationship of IL-27-A964G and IL-27-T4730C polymorphisms with increased risk of MS, and also the protective role of the IL-23-R381Q polymorphism. Moreover, the haplotype-based analysis proposed the mutant G-C (A924G, T4730C) as a significant risk haplotype for the development of MS.

Abstract
Preeclampsia (PE) is a complex complication that occurs during pregnancy. Studies indicated that morbidity from PE exhibits marked variations among geographical areas. Disparities in the incidence of PE between China and the US may be due to differences in ethnicity and genetic susceptibility, maternal age, sexual culture, body mass index, diet, exercise, multiple pregnancies and educational background. These epidemiological differences may give rise to differences between the two countries in terms of diagnostic and therapeutic criteria for PE. PE may be largely attributed to susceptibility genes and lifestyles, such as diet, body mass index and cultural norms regarding sexual relationships. The epidemiologic differences of patients with PE between the two countries indicated that appropriate prevention plans for PE require to be developed according to local conditions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cytokine polymorphisms have been associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) pathogenicity. Interleukin 27 (IL-27) is an important one of pro-/anti-inflammatory cytokine. It has been reported in various Th1/Th17-mediated inflammatory disorders, and even in Th2-complexed diseases, such as SLE. In our preliminary study, the aim was to investigate the potential roles of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) -964A/G (rs153109) and + 2905 T/G (rs17855750) in an IL-27p28 gene on susceptibility to SLE. METHODS The 112 Egyptian SLE patients against 101 healthy persons were enrolled in this work. The polymerase chain reaction/restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) is used for genotyping IL-27 SNPs. RESULTS No significant variations were found between patients and control in the genotype and allele frequencies of IL-27p28 (-964A/G). SLE patients have a significant increase in the frequency of IL-27p28 (+ 2905 T/G) TG genotype (P < 0.01) and G allele (P < 0.01) compared to controls. Complete disappearance of GG genotype was demonstrated in both groups. G allele might have considered a disease risk factor with odd ration (OR) = 9.184. From four possible haplotypes, the frequency of AT haplotype elevated in both examined groups. CONCLUSION This was the first study on the Egyptian population for studying the relation between IL-27 SNPs and SLE. Our preliminary study indicated that both TG genotype and G allele of IL-27p28 (+ 2905 T/G) could consider risk factors for SLE. Key Points • This article provides an information about the relation between systemic lupus erythematosus and interleukin-27 cytokine by detection single nucleotide polymorphism.

Abstract
Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a disorder that occurs only during pregnancy. PE is associated with neonate mortality and morbidity. Overexpression of IL-27 and its receptor have been reported frequently in the trophoblast cells of patients with PE. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between genetic polymorphisms of IL-27 rs153109, and rs17855750 in an Iranian cohort of 170 PE patients and 170 normal pregnant women using the PCR-RFLP method. In the total PE, the frequency of heterozygous and mutant homozygous genotypes of rs153109 was significantly higher, severe, and mild PE groups. The genotypes and alleles frequencies of rs17855750 gene polymorphism were associated with PE susceptibility in total, severe and early-onset sub-group patients. Haplotype analysis of IL-27 rs153109 and rs17855750 polymorphisms revealed that the mutant GG haplotype frequencies significantly increased the risk of preeclampsia in total PE and different sub-group patients, while the wild AT haplotypes were associated with decreased risk of pre-eclampsia in total and sub-group patients. The in-silico analysis showed the transition of allele A to allele G in rs153109 SNP, would lead to create a new binding site and consequently may lead to changes in IL-27 gene expression. We found that rs17855750 A>G polymorphism might be influence the function of IL-27 protein. The data attained in our study propose the incidence of IL-27rs153109 and rs17855750 SNPs might be capable to be utilized as indicators for the genetic susceptibility to PE.

Abstract
Preeclampsia (PE) is a complication of pregnancy characterized by hypertension (HTN-Preg), and often proteinuria. If not managed promptly, PE could lead to eclampsia and seizures. PE could also lead to intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and prematurity at birth. Although PE is a major cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality, the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Also, there is a wide variability in the incidence of PE, ranging between 2 and 8% of pregnancies in the Eastern, Western and Developing world, suggesting regional differences in the risk factors and predictors of the pregnancy-related disorder. Several demographic, genetic, dietary and environmental factors, as well as maternal circulating biomarkers have been associated with PE. Demographic factors such as maternal race and ethnicity could play a role in PE. Specific genetic polymorphisms have been identified in PE. Maternal age, parity, education and socioeconomic status could be involved in PE. Dietary fat, protein, calcium and vitamins, body weight, and environmental factors including climate changes and air pollutants could also play a role in PE. Several circulating cytoactive factors including anti-angiogenic factors and cytokines have also been associated with PE. Traditional midwifery care is a common practice in local maternity care units, while advanced perinatal care and new diagnostic tools such as uterine artery Doppler velocimetry have been useful in predicting early PE in major medical centers. These PE risk factors, early predictors and diagnostic tools vary vastly in different regions of the Eastern, Western and Developing world. Further understanding of the differences in the demographic, genetic, dietary and environmental factors among pregnant women in different world regions should help in designing a region-specific cluster of risk factors and predictors of PE, and in turn provide better guidance for region-specific tools for early detection and management of PE.

Haplotype Analysis of Candidate Genes Involved in Inflammation and Oxidative Stress and the Susceptibility to Preeclampsia. J Immunol Res 2020; 2020:4683798. [PMID: 32185238 PMCID: PMC7061132 DOI: 10.1155/2020/4683798] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2018] [Revised: 12/26/2019] [Accepted: 01/28/2020] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Unbalanced inflammatory reactions and oxidative stress are inseparably interconnected, and both may play crucial roles in the pathophysiological mechanisms of preeclampsia (PE). In the published previous studies, we have genotyped for SNPs that related to inflammation (rs2227485, rs153109, rs17855750, rs2027432, rs2275913, rs763780, rs4819554, and rs13015714) and oxidative stress (rs1695, rs4680, rs1800566, rs4807542, rs713041, rs7579, rs230813, rs1004467, rs3824755, and rs9932581) to investigate whether these polymorphisms were associated with susceptibility to PE in a Chinese Han population. In this present study, we collected these data of experimental and clinical from above studies for haplotype analysis of inflammation-related SNPs in 631 PE patients and 720 normal pregnancy and oxidative stress-related SNPs in 342 PE patients and 457 normal pregnancies for susceptibility to PE. The data of genotype distribution and allele frequency comparisons after correction for multiple comparisons (P/8 or P/10) showed 2 among the 8 candidate inflammation-related SNPs have significant differences (rs2027432 genotype χ2 = 407.377, p < 0.001, p < 0.00625). Moreover, the minor alleles of rs2027432 T (minor allele χ2 = 450.923, p < 0.001, p < 0.00625; OR = 21.439, 95%CI = 15.181‐30.278) and rs4819554 G (minor allele χ2 = 163.465, p < 0.001, p < 0.00625; OR = 5.814, 95%CI = 4.380‐7.719) were confirmed as risk allele of PE, respectively. Our analysis revealed rs2027432 (TT) of NLRP3 and rs4819554 (GG) of IL-17RA are risk factors for PE. However, no significant difference was found at the oxidative stress-related SNPs. In the candidate loci for oxidative stress, we also identified 3 SNP matches (rs4807542 and rs713041, rs230813 and rs75799, rs1004467 and rs3824755) that had high linkage disequilibrium (LD) with each other and were selected as a block (r2 = 0.98, r2 = 0.97, r2 = 0.97, r2 > 0.9), and the GT and GC haplotypes of rs4807542 and rs713041 in GPX4 showed significant differences between the PE and control groups (χ2 = 5.143, p = 0.0233, p < 0.05; χ2 = 6.373, p = 0.0116, p < 0.05). So, we inferred that polymorphisms of NLRP3 rs2027432 and IL-17RA rs4819554, which are related to inflammation, and the rs713041 variant of GPX4, which is related to oxidative stress, were associated with susceptibility to PE. The GT and GC haplotypes of rs4807542 and rs713041 in GPX4 may increase the risk of PE in the Chinese Han population.

Abstract
Preeclampsia is a multi-system hypertensive disorder of pregnancy, with significant rates of maternal and neonatal morbidity. It represents a major cause of preterm birth, as definitive treatment demands fetal delivery. Although its pathophysiology is complicated, placental hypoxia and endothelial dysfunction constitute established pathogenetic steps of the disease. Inflammation is considered to be a crucial mediator of preeclampsia process, as an imbalance between TH 1, TH 2, and TH 17 immune responses is observed. The present review accumulates current knowledge about the contribution of interleukins in preeclampsia, summarizing the pathways through which each interleukin exerts its function in the disease. Also, the role of genetic polymorphisms is explored and the predictive efficacy of maternal serum interleukin levels is evaluated. Finally, recommendations about the safe interpretation of the outcomes, as well as guidance for future research, are provided.

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.

Combination of Genetic Markers and Age Effectively Facilitates the Identification of People with High Risk of Preeclampsia in the Han Chinese Population. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2018; 2018:4808046. [PMID: 30112393 PMCID: PMC6077688 DOI: 10.1155/2018/4808046] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2018] [Revised: 05/15/2018] [Accepted: 06/11/2018] [Indexed: 01/03/2023]
Abstract
Objective This study aimed to analyze the possible association between known genetic risks and preeclampsia in a Han Chinese population. Methods A total of 156 patients with preeclampsia and 286 healthy Han Chinese women were enrolled and genotyped for 27 genetic alleles associated with preeclampsia in different populations. The association between the genotypes of the individual alleles and preeclampsia and the possible interaction among the alleles were analyzed. Finally logistic models were trained with the genotypes of possible alleles contributing to preeclampsia. Results Seven alleles were significantly or marginally significantly associated with preeclampsia, which involved six genes (rs4762 in AGT, rs1800896 in IL-10, rs1800629 and rs1799724 in TNFα, rs2070744 in NOS3, rs7412 in APOE, and rs2549782 in ERAP2). A multilocus interaction analysis further disclosed an interaction among seven alleles. A logistic model showing individual or synergetic contribution to preeclampsia could reach ~0.67 preeclampsia prediction accuracy in the Han Chinese population, while integration of age information could improve the performance to ~0.75 accuracy using a fivefold training-testing evaluation strategy. Conclusions The genetic factors were closely associated with preeclampsia in the Han Chinese population despite large ethnicity heterogeneity. The genotypes of different alleles also had synergetic interactions.
