Heat shock and HSP70 regulate 5-FU-mediated caspase-1 activation in myeloid-derived suppressor cells and tumor growth in mice. J Immunother Cancer 2021; 8:jitc-2019-000478. [PMID: 32385145 PMCID: PMC7228666 DOI: 10.1136/jitc-2019-000478] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 04/14/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background We have previously shown that 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) selectively kills myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and activates NLRP3 (NOD-leucine rich repeat and pyrin containing protein 3) inflammasome. NLRP3 activation leads to caspase-1 activation and production of IL-1β, which in turn favors secondary tumor growth. We decided to explore the effects of either a heat shock (HS) or the deficiency in heat shock protein (HSP) 70, previously shown to respectively inhibit or increase NLRP3 inflammasome activation in macrophages. Methods Caspase-1 activation was detected in vitro in MSC-2 cells by western blot and in vivo or ex vivo in tumor and/or splenic MDSCs by flow cytometry. The effects of HS, HSP70 deficiency and anakinra (an IL-1 inhibitor) on tumor growth and mice survival were studied in C57BL/6 WT or Hsp70−/− tumor-bearing mice. Finally, Th17 polarization was evaluated by qPCR (Il17a, Rorc) and angiogenic markers by qPCR (Pecam1, Eng) and immunohistochemistry (ERG). Results HS inhibits 5-FU-mediated caspase-1 activation in vitro and in vivo without affecting its cytotoxicity on MDSCs. Moreover, it enhances the antitumor effect of 5-FU treatment and favors mice survival. Interestingly, it is associated to a decreased Th17 and angiogenesis markers in tumors. IL-1β injection is able to bypass HS+5-FU antitumor effects. In contrast, in Hsp70−/− MDSCs, 5-FU-mediated caspase-1 activation is increased in vivo and in vitro without effect on 5-FU cytotoxicity. In Hsp70−/− mice, the antitumor effect of 5-FU was impeded, with an increased Th17 and angiogenesis markers in tumors. Finally, the effects of 5-FU on tumor growth can be restored by inhibiting IL-1β, using anakinra. Conclusion This study provides evidence on the role of HSP70 in tuning 5-FU antitumor effect and suggests that HS can be used to improve 5-FU anticancer effect.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a major global public health problem. Infection by this virus involves many pathophysiological processes, such as a "cytokine storm," that is, very aggressive inflammatory response that offers new perspectives for the management and treatment of patients. Here, we analyse relevant mechanism involved in the hyperthermia-mediated heat shock factors (HSFs)/heat shock proteins (HSP)70 pathway which may provide a possible treatment tool.

Abstract
The complex scenario of multiple sclerosis (MS) pathology involves several mechanisms, including oxidative stress response. The heat shock proteins (HSPs) are important for the protection of the cells; however, their role in MS is not clear. The present research is focused on the response of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) to oxidative stress and to the involvement of HSP70-2 (a protein coded by the HSPA1B gene, located in the MHC class III). To this aim, we challenged PBMCs from MS patients and healthy controls with hydrogen peroxide. Specifically, PBMCs mitochondrial activity, HSP70-2 protein expression and the production of intracellular reactive oxygen species were assessed. These parameters were also related to the HSP70-2 rs1061581 polymorphism, which is linked to the risk of developing MS. Moreover, mitochondrial activity and HSP70-2 protein levels were also related to disease severity. Overall, our results indicate that PBMCs, from both MS patients and healthy controls, may display a similar response towards an oxidative insult; within this context, HSP70-2 does not seem to be central in the protection of PBMCs. Nevertheless, the HSP70-2 rs1061581 polymorphism is related to ROS levels and appears to have a role in the different expression of HSP70-2 under oxidative stimulus.

Abstract
Heat shock proteins (HSP) regulate inflammation in many physiological contexts. However, inflammation is a broad process, involving numerous cytokines produced by different molecular pathways with multiple functions. In this review, we focused on the particular role of HSP on the inflammasomes intracellular platforms activated by danger signals and that enable activation of inflammatory caspases, mainly caspase-1, leading to the production of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1β. Interestingly, some members of the HSP family favor inflammasomes activation whereas others inhibit it, suggesting that HSP modulators for therapeutic purposes, must be carefully chosen.

Abstract
Anastomotic fibrosis is highly likely to lead to reoperation in Crohn's disease (CD) patients. Triptolide (TPL) is considered to have anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic effects in a variety of autoimmune diseases, including CD. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of TPL on fibroblasts from strictured ileocolonic anastomosis of patients with CD and its underlying mechanism. Primary fibroblasts were obtained from strictured anastomosis tissue (SAT) samples and matched anastomosis-adjacent normal tissue (NT) samples which were collected from 10 CD patients who underwent reoperation because of anastomotic stricture. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to measure miR-16-1 and heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) levels. Western blotting was conducted to determine expression of HSP70, collagen I (Col-I), collagen III (Col-III) and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) proteins. Agomir-16-1 and antagomir-16-1 were used to up and downregulate the expression of miR-16-1, respectively. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) was employed to inhibit the expression of HSP70. A wound healing assay was performed to measure the migration of fibroblasts. Cell proliferation was evaluated by MTT and 5-bromo-2-deoxyrudidine assays. Cell apoptosis was determined by caspase-3 activity and TUNEL assays. The results demonstrated that the levels of Col-I, Col-III and α-SMA were all significantly upregulated in SAT compared with NT. miR-16-1 levels in the SAT group were significantly compared with the NT group; conversely, the expression levels of HSP70 mRNA and protein in the SAT group were significantly lower compared with the NT group. Next, fibroblasts were treated with TPL to examine its effect on the miR-16-1/HSP70 pathway. The results demonstrated that the elevated expression of miR-16-1 in the SAT group was effectively inhibited by TPL treatment. Compared with the NT group, both the mRNA and protein levels of HSP70 were significantly downregulated in the SAT group cells, while TPL exhibited a strong promoting effect on HSP70 synthesis. Furthermore, upregulation of miR-16-1 reversed the effect of TPL on the miR-16-1/HSP70 pathway in fibroblasts from SAT. Overexpression of miR-16-1 significantly reversed the inhibitory effects of TPL treatment on migration, proliferation and extracellular matrix (ECM)-associated protein expression of fibroblasts from SAT. Finally, downregulation of miR-16-1 caused similar effects to the fibroblasts as the TPL treatment; however, the inhibitory effects on cell biological functions induced by antagomir-16-1 were all significantly reversed by HSP70 silencing. The present findings indicated that TPL may be a potential therapeutic option for postoperative anastomosis fibrosis of patients with CD. The miR-16-1/HSP70 pathway had a substantial role in the inhibitory effects of TPL on migration, proliferation and ECM synthesis rate of fibroblasts from strictured anastomosis tissues.

Abstract
The NOD-leucine rich repeat and pyrin containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is a multi-protein complex, aimed at producing IL-1β in response to danger signals which must be tightly regulated. Here we investigated the importance of the stress sensor, Heat Shock Protein 70 (HSP70) on NLRP3 inflammasome activation. HSP70 deficiency leads to the worsening of NLRP3-dependent peritonitis in mice. HSP70 deficiency also enhances caspase-1 activation and IL-1β production in murine Bone Marrow-Derived Macrophages (BMDMs) under NLRP3 activator treatment in vitro. This observation is associated with an increased number and size of Apoptosis associated Speck-like protein containing a CARD domain (ASC)/NLRP3 specks. Conversely, the overexpression of HSP70 in BMDMs decreases caspase-1 activation and IL-1β production under NLRP3 activator treatment. HSP70 interacts with NLRP3 and this interaction is lost upon NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Heat shock inhibits NLRP3 inflammasome activation in vitro and inhibits peritonitis in mice. Therefore this study provides evidence on the inhibitory role of HSP70 on NLRP3 inflammasome and open the possibility of treating inflammatory diseases via HSP70 induction and/or by hyperthermia.

Abstract
Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are essential mediators of cellular homeostasis by maintaining protein functionality and stability, and activating appropriate immune cells. HSP activity is influenced by a variety of factors including diet, microbial stimuli, environment and host immunity. The overexpression and down-regulation of HSPs is associated with various disease phenotypes, including the inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as Crohn’s disease (CD). While the precise etiology of CD remains unclear, many of the putative triggers also influence HSP activity. The development of different CD phenotypes therefore may be a result of the disease-modifying behavior of the environmentally-regulated HSPs. Understanding the role of bacterial and endogenous HSPs in host homeostasis and disease will help elucidate the complex interplay of factors. Furthermore, discerning the function of HSPs in CD may lead to therapeutic developments that better reflect and respond to the gut environment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Changes in cytokine expression have been frequently found in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Cytokine values outside the normal range may be somewhat related to common polymorphisms within cytokine genes. OBJECTIVE The present study was designed to investigate the possible association between polymorphisms within Interleukin IL-4 and IL-10 genes and susceptibility to and clinical features of IBD. METHODS The study population was composed of 140 healthy controls and 75 patients with IBD (40 patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and 35 patients with ulcerative colitis (UC)). Genotyping was performed using polymerase chain reaction with sequence-specific primers. RESULTS Higher frequencies for the C allele of IL-4-590 polymorphism (P < 0.0001; odds ratio [OR], 5.68; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 3.28-9.83) and for the T allele of IL-4-1098 polymorphism (P = 0.016; OR, 1.83; 95% CI, 1.11-3.02) were observed in the whole group of IBD patients. The IL-4-590 C allele was also significantly overrepresented when IBD patients were subdivided into CD and UC (P < 0.0001; OR, 5.2-6.28). While the IL-4-1098 T allele was present at higher frequencies in patients with UC (P = 0.05; OR, 1.95), but not in CD (P = 0.09). Multiple pairwise comparisons indicated that genotypes of all polymorphisms investigated within IL-4 gene are correlated with IBD, CD, and UC. Haplotype analysis showed that the IL-4-1098/-590 TC haplotype might predispose individuals to IBD, CD, and UC whereas the IL-4-1098/-590 TT and GC haplotypes have a protective effect. On the contrary, neither allele nor genotype frequencies of IL-10 polymorphisms (IL-10-1082 A > G, IL-10-592 A > C, and IL-10-819 T > C) were associated with IBD, CD, or UC. CONCLUSIONS The present study suggests that IL-4 polymorphisms might play a role in susceptibility to IBD and its major subtypes in the Iranian population.

Abstract
Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) is expressed on the majority of innate immune cells and to a lesser extent on parenchymal cells. Upon activation, TREM-1 can directly amplify an inflammatory response. Although it was initially demonstrated that TREM-1 was predominantly associated with infectious diseases, recent evidences shed new light into its role in sterile inflammatory diseases. Indeed, TREM-1 receptor and its signaling pathways contribute to the pathology of several non-infectious acute and chronic inflammatory diseases, including atherosclerosis, ischemia reperfusion-induced tissue injury, colitis, fibrosis and cancer. This review, aims to give an extensive overview of TREM-1 in non-infectious diseases, with the focus on the therapeutic potential of TREM-1 intervention strategies herein. In addition, we provide the reader with a functional enrichment analysis of TREM-1 signaling pathway and potential TREM-1 ligands in these diseases, obtained via in silico approach. We discuss pre-clinical studies which show that TREM-1 inhibition, via synthetic soluble TREM-1 protein mimickers, is effective in treating (preventing) specific inflammatory disorders, without significant effects on antibacterial response. Further research aimed at identifying specific TREM-1 ligands, in different inflammatory disorders, is required to further unravel the role of this receptor, and explore new avenues to modulate its function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Data on the outcomes of children with perianal Crohn's disease are limited. We aimed to assess phenotypic features at diagnosis and long-term disease-specific outcomes of this phenotype. METHODS The medical records of 296 pediatric onset patients with Crohn's disease, diagnosed from 2001 to 2015, were reviewed retrospectively. Baseline characteristics included age, sex, severity indices, laboratory data, endoscopic findings, and anthropometric measurements. Main outcome measures included time to first flare, hospitalization, surgery, and biological therapy. RESULTS Of the 296 included patients (median age 14.2 years), 70 (24%) had nonfistulizing perianal findings, whereas only 40 (13%) had fistulizing perianal disease at diagnosis. Perianal involvement was associated with female sex (P = 0.01), whereas fistulizing perianal disease resulted in a greater use of immunomodulators (P = 0.01). Time to hospitalization was shorter for both nonfistulizing and fistulizing perianal disease (hazard ratio [HR] 1.66 and 1.34, respectively, P = 0.027) and time to biological therapy (HR 2.1 and 1.7, respectively, P = 0.002). There were no differences in time to first flare or surgery. During a median follow-up of 8.5 years, additional 26 patients (10%) developed fistulizing perianal disease after a median time of 3.5 years. The presence of nonfistulizing disease at diagnosis was a significant risk factor for the development of fistulizing perianal disease (HR 3.4, P = 0.002). At the end of follow-up, complicated disease was more common in patients with any perianal involvement (P = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Pediatric patients with Crohn's disease with both nonfistulizing and fistulizing disease have worse clinical outcomes. Nonfistulizing disease is a risk factor for the development of fistulizing disease over time.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Data on the outcomes of children with perianal Crohn disease (pCD) are limited, although its presence is often used for justifying early use of biologics. We aimed to assess whether pCD in children is associated with more severe outcomes as found in adults. METHODS Data were extracted from the ImageKids database, a prospective, multicenter, longitudinal cohort study. The study enrolled 246 children at disease onset or thereafter. All patients underwent comprehensive clinical, endoscopic, and radiologic evaluation at enrollment; 98 children had repeat evaluation at 18 months. RESULTS Of the 234 included patients (mean age 14.2 ± 2.4 years; 131 [56%] boys), 57 (24%) had perianal findings, whereas only 21 (9%) had fistulizing perianal disease. Children with pCD had reduced weight and height z scores compared with non-pCD patients (-0.9 vs -0.35, P = 0.03 and -0.68 vs -0.23, respectively; P = 0.04), higher weighted pediatric CD activity index (32 [interquartile range 16-50] vs 20 [8-37]; P = 0.004), lower serum albumin (3.6 ± 0.7 vs 4.5 ± 0.8, P = 0.016), and higher magnetic resonance enterography global inflammatory score (P = 0.04). Children with pCD had more rectal (57% vs 38%, P = 0.04), and jejunal involvement (31% vs 11% P = 0.003) and a higher prevalence of granulomas (64% vs 23%, P = 0.0001). Magnetic resonance enterography-based damage scores did not differ between groups. Patients with skin tags/fissures only, had similar clinical, endoscopic, and radiologic characteristics as patients with no perianal findings. CONCLUSIONS Pediatric patients with pCD with fistulizing disease have distinct phenotypic features and a predisposition to a greater inflammatory burden.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), manifesting as Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), is characterized by recurring episodes of inflammation in gastrointestinal tract, in which aberrant production of regulatory cytokine interleukin-10 (IL-10) presumably plays important role. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that affect IL-10 production, such as rs1800896 (G/A) at position -1082 and rs1800871 (C/T) at position -819 in the promoter region of the IL10 gene, have been associated with CD and/or UC, but the results were inconsistent. Another SNP that may alter IL-10 production, rs3024505 (C/T) located immediately downstream of the IL10 gene has been recently identified. T allele of rs3024505 was associated with both UC and CD in Western populations, but the studies from East European countries are lacking. Therefore, our aim was to assess the association of rs3024505, rs1800896 and rs1800871 with Serbian IBD patients. To this end, 107 CD and 99 UC patients and 255 healthy controls were genotyped. As a result, T allele of rs3024505 was associated with CD at allelic, genotypic (GT genotype) and haplotypic (GCCT haplotype) level, suggesting potential role of this variant in susceptibility to CD. In contrast, CD patients carrying C allele of rs3024505 had significantly increased risk of anemia and stricturing/penetrating behavior. No association was observed between rs3024505 and UC or SNPs in IL10 promoter region and any form of IBD. In conclusion, rs3024505 SNP flanking the IL10 gene is associated with susceptibility and severity of disease in Serbian CD patients, further validating its role as a potential biomarker in IBD.

Abstract
The epidemic of metabolic diseases has raised questions about the interplay between the human diet and the gut and its microbiota. The gut has two vital roles: nutrient absorption and intestinal barrier function. Gut barrier defects are involved in many diseases. Excess energy intake disturbs the gut microbiota and favors body entry of microbial compounds that stimulate chronic metabolic inflammation. In this context, the natural defense mechanisms of gut epithelial cells and the potential to boost them nutritionally warrant further study. One such important defense system is the activation of inducible heat-shock proteins (iHSPs) which protect the gut epithelium against oxidative stress and inflammation. Importantly, various microbial components can induce the expression of iHSPs. This review examines gut epithelial iHSPs as the main targets of microbial signals and nutrients and presents data on diseases involving disturbances of gut epithelial iHSPs. In addition, a broad literature analysis of dietary modulation of gut epithelial iHSPs is provided. Future research aims should include the identification of gut microbes that can optimize gut-protective iHSPs and the evaluation of iHSP-mediated health benefits of nutrients and food components.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are expressed by cells in response to various environmental stresses. A single-nucleotide polymorphism A+1267G of the HSPA1B gene affects the expression of HSP70-2, with the A allele being protective against inflammatory conditions. We investigated the relation between the HSP A+1267G polymorphism and the clinical outcomes of Chinese peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. METHODS We studied 347 new PD cases (181 males, age 56.6 ± 13.7 years). Genotyping was done by standard methods. Patients were followed for 40.5 ± 20.7 months for survival analysis. RESULTS For the entire cohort, there was no difference in the 5-year survival between genotype groups. However, there was a significant interaction between HSP polymorphism and diabetic status on the cardiovascular event-free survival. In patients without pre-existing diabetes, 5-year cardiovascular event-free survival of the GG/AG genotype group was significantly better than that of the AA genotype group (57.2 vs. 32.1%, p = 0.011). CONCLUSION The G allele of the HSP70-2 A+1267G polymorphism confers survival advantages in non-diabetic PD patients. The role of HSP in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease in renal failure patients needs further investigation.

Abstract
Previous studies have demonstrated the protective role of inducible heat-shock protein (HSP) 70 in intestinal cells. The HSP70-2 gene has a PstI site due to an A-G transition at the 1,267 position and different genotypes are associated with various levels of mRNA expression. The present study aimed to clarify the effect of the HSP70-2 polymorphism on the risk of ulcerative colitis (UC), including its clinical phenotypes. A total of 121 patients with UC and 500 healthy control (HC) subjects participated in the study. To assess the polymorphisms at the 1,267 position of the HSP70-2 gene, restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis was performed. The subjects in the study were classified by disease behavior, severity and extent of disease. Although no significant difference of the HSP70-2 genotype distribution was identified between the HC and UC groups, the BB genotype exhibited a lower risk of the steroid-dependent phenotype [odds ratio (OR), 0.12; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.02-0.95; P=0.02]. The same genotype was also associated with a lower risk of the refractory phenotype (OR, 0.16; 95% CI, 0.04-0.73; P=0.01). There was no direct correlation between the polymorphism of the HSP70-2 gene and UC susceptibility. However, there was an association between a reduced risk of the steroid-dependent and refractory phenotypes of UC and the BB genotype.

Abstract
Genetic and environmental factors contribute to disease Multiple Sclerosis (MS) susceptibility, the most prevalent neurological pathology affecting young individuals in Western countries. We focused our attention on HSP70-2, an inducible chaperon induced under stress conditions. Genotype analysis of HSP70-2 (+1267 A/G) polymorphism revealed a significant association between the minor allele G and presence of MS (OR:1.31, 95% CI: 1.02-1.69, P = 0.039). In addition, Hsp70-2 protein content in vitro from PBMC was significantly lower in MS patients with GG genotype compared to AA genotype, indicating an implication of the G allele of HSP70-2 gene polymorphism in the development of MS.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the association of polymorphisms in the promoter region of the IL-10 gene with the risk of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Fifteen studies (3,693 cases and 4,574 controls) were included in a meta-analysis of association between IL-10 -1082G/A, -819C/T and -592C/A polymorphisms, and IBD, CD and UC using allele contrast and the recessive, dominant, and additive models. Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was confirmed for each study. Heterogeneity and study quality were investigated using stratification analyses and sensitivity analyses. Polymorphism -1082G/A showed significant association with CD, with odds ratios (ORs) for the GG + GA genotype and GG versus AA genotype of 1.278 (1.004-1.627) and 1.238 (1.027-1.492) in all subjects. Significant associations were found in the Caucasian subgroup using the allele contrast, dominant, and additive models. C-allele carriers of the -819C/T polymorphism were at increased risk of IBD (OR 1.093, 95% CI 1.004-1.190). Association with the -819C/T polymorphism was also found in Caucasians with CD (C vs. T: OR 1.104, 95% CI 1.010-1.206; CC + CT vs. TT: OR 1.328, 95% CI 1.006-1.754; CC vs. TT: OR 1.339, 95% CI 1.008-1.778), and with UC (CC vs. CT + TT: OR 1.188, 95% CI 1.019-1.385). No significant association was found between the -592C/A polymorphism and IBD, CD or UC. In conclusion, the meta-analysis demonstrated clear association between the IL-10 polymorphisms -1082G/A and -819C/T and the risk of IBD.

Abstract
AIM To assess the relationship of the Interleukin-10 (IL-10) -1082G/A (rs1800896), -819C/T (rs1800871) and -592C/A (rs1800872) polymorphism with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) by means of meta-analysis. METHODS Published data addressing the association between polymorphism of the IL-10 with Crohn's disease (CD) and Ulcerative colitis (UC) were selected from electronic databases. A total of 17 studies including 4132 cases and 5109 controls were included in this meta-analysis which detected whether -1082G/A, -819C/T and -592C/A polymorphism were associated with CD or UC susceptibility. RESULT The IL-10 -819C/T and -519C/A variant allele observed a significant association with UC (OR 1.16, 95%CI 1.03-1.31 and OR 1.19, 95%CI 1.03-1.38) not CD while there is no significant association between -1082G/A and UC or CD. CONCLUSION The IL-10 -819C/T and -592C/A polymorphisms contribute to susceptibility to UC, but IL-10 -1082G/A polymorphism neither associated with CD nor UC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Crohn's disease (CD) is a multifactorial disorder with a pivotal role of the genetic component. A single nucleotide polymorphism in heat shock protein 70-2 (HSP70-2) has been shown to be associated with a severe clinical course in CD. The purpose of this study was to identify associations between the HSP70-2 polymorphism and the clinical courses of CD in the Chinese population. METHODS One hundred patients with CD and 190 healthy individuals were genotyped for the HSP70-2 PstI polymorphism by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. RESULTS The genotype frequency of the PstI polymorphism did not differ between patients and controls. The A allele was higher in CD patients than in controls (61% vs 52%, P = 0.047, odds ratio [OR] = 1.423, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.004-2.015). Furthermore, this polymorphism was higher in the penetrating or fistula surgery of CD patients than in controls (63% vs 52%, P = 0.049, OR = 1.530, 95% CI: 1.001-2.337; Table ). But there was no significant difference between the penetrating or fistula surgery patients and no surgery patients (P = 0.673, OR = 0.883, 95% CI: 0.495-1.574). We used multivariate analysis to determine the effects of genotypes on sex, disease behavior, disease location, and so on. No significant difference was observed between these parameters and genotype. CONCLUSION This study reported that the allele A of PstI polymorphism was the association between CD and HSP70-2 gene in the Chinese population. It was also association between penetrating or fistula surgery of CD and HSP70-2 gene in the Chinese population.

Abstract
A large number of studies have shown that the interleukin-10 (IL-10)-1082A/G polymorphism is implicated in susceptibility to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, the results are inconsistent. We performed this meta-analysis to estimate the association between -1082A/G polymorphism in the IL-10 gene and IBD susceptibility. A total number of 18 case-control studies including 17,585 subjects were identified. No association was found between -1082A/G polymorphism and ulcerative colitis (UC) susceptibility. However, increased risk of Crohn's disease (CD) was associated with -1082A/G polymorphism in the dominant genetic model (GG+GA vs. AA: OR=1.22, 95% CI: 1.02-1.46, P=0.028) and the heterozygote comparison (GA vs. AA: OR=1.28, 95% CI: 1.05-1.55, P=0.015). The results of this meta-analysis provide evidence for the association between IL-10-1082A/G polymorphism and susceptibility of CD. Due to several limitations in the present study, well-designed epidemiological studies with large sample size among different ethnicities should be performed in the future.

Abstract
Background The gene encoding CD14 has been proposed as an IBD-susceptibility gene with its polymorphism C-260T being widely evaluated, yet with conflicting results. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between this polymorphism and IBD by conducting a meta-analysis. Methodology/Principal Findings Seventeen articles met the inclusion criteria, which included a total of 18 case-control studies, including 1900 ulcerative colitis (UC) cases, 2535 Crohn's disease (CD) cases, and 4004 controls. Data were analyzed using STATA software. Overall, association between C-260T polymorphism and increased UC risk was significant in allelic comparison (odds ratio [OR] = 1.21, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.02–1.43; P = 0.027), homozygote model (OR = 1.44, 95% CI: 1.03–2.01; P = 0.033), as well as dominant model (OR = 1.36, 95% CI: 1.06–1.75; P = 0.016). However, there was negative association between this polymorphism and CD risk across all genetic models. Subgroup analyses by ethnicity suggested the risk-conferring profiles of -260T allele and -260 TT genotype with UC in Asians, but not in Caucasians. There was a low probability of publication bias. Conclusions/Significance Expanding previous results of individual studies, our findings demonstrated that CD14 gene C-260T polymorphism might be a promising candidate marker in susceptibility to UC, especially in Asians.

Abstract
Considering epidemiological, genetic and immunological data, we can conclude that the inflammatory bowel diseases are heterogeneous disorders of multifactorial etiology in which hereditability and environment interact to produce the disease. It is probable that patients have a genetic predisposition for the development of the disease coupled with disturbances in immunoregulation. Several genes have been so far related to the diagnosis of Crohn's disease. Those genes are related to innate pattern recognition receptors, to epithelial barrier homeostasis and maintenance of epithelial barrier integrity, to autophagy and to lymphocyte differentiation. So far, the most strong and replicated associations with Crohn's disease have been done with NOD2, IL23R and ATG16L1 genes. Many genes have so far been implicated in prognosis of Crohn's disease and many attempts have been made to classify genetic profiles in Crohn's disease. CARD15 seems not only a susceptibility gene, but also a disease-modifier gene for Crohn's disease. Enriching our understanding on Crohn's disease genetics is important but when combining genetic data with functional data the outcome could be of major importance to clinicians.

Abstract
Considering the epidemiological, genetic and immunological data, we can conclude that the inflammatory bowel diseases are heterogeneous disorders of multifactorial etiology in which hereditability and environment interact to produce the disease. It is probable that patients have a genetic predisposition for the development of the disease coupled with disturbances in immunoregulation. Several genes have so far been related to the diagnosis of Crohn's disease. These genes are related to innate pattern recognition receptors, to epithelial barrier homeostasis and maintenance of epithelial barrier integrity, to autophagy and to lymphocyte differentiation. So far, the strongest and most replicated associations with Crohn's disease have been demonstrated with NOD2, IL23R and ATG16L1 genes. Many genes have so far been implicated in the prognosis of Crohn's disease and many attempts have been made for classification of genetic profiles in Crohn's disease. CARD15 seems to be not only a susceptibility gene, but also a disease-modifier gene for Crohn's disease. Enriching our understanding of Crohn's disease genetics is of value, but when combining genetic data with functional data the outcome could be of major importance to clinicians.

Abstract
Human Elongator complex, which plays a key role in transcript elongation in vitro assay, is incredibly similar in either components or function to its yeast counterpart. However, there are only a few studies focusing on its target gene characterization in vivo. We studied the effect of down-regulation of the human elongation protein 3 (hELP3) on the expression of HSP70 through antisense strategy. Transfecting antisense plasmid p1107 into HeLa cells highly suppressed hELP3 expression, and substantially reduced expression of HSP70 mRNA and protein. Furthermore, chromatin immunoprecipitation assay (ChIP Assay) revealed that hElp3 participates in the transcription elongation of HSPA1A in HeLa cells. Finally, complementation and ChIP Assay in yeast showed that hElp3 can not only complement the growth and slow activation of HSP70 (SSA3) gene transcription, but also directly regulates the transcription of SSA3. On the contrary, these functions are lost when the HAT domain is deleted from hElp3. These data suggest that hElp3 can regulate the transcription of HSP70 gene, and the HAT domain of hElp3 is essential for this function. These findings now provide novel insights and evidence of the functions of hELP3 in human cells.

Serum lipopolysaccharide-binding protein and soluble CD14 are markers of disease activity in patients with Crohn's disease. Inflamm Bowel Dis 2011; 17:767-77. [PMID: 20865702 DOI: 10.1002/ibd.21402] [Citation(s) in RCA: 59] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2010] [Accepted: 05/26/2010] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND In inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), enhanced inflammatory activity in the gut is thought to increase the risk of bacterial translocation and endotoxemia. In the present study we investigated the association between serum level of lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP), soluble CD14 (sCD14), and clinical disease activity, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), antimicrobial serology profile, NOD2/CARD15 status, and clinical phenotype in a large cohort of Hungarian Crohn's disease (CD) patients. METHODS In all, 214 well-characterized, unrelated, consecutive CD patients (male/female ratio: 95/119; age: 35.6 ± 13.1 years; duration:8.3 ± 7.5 years) and 110 healthy controls were investigated. Sera were assayed for LBP, sCD14, hs-CRP, ASCA IgG/IgA, anti-OMP IgA, and pANCA antibodies. NOD2/CARD15 and TLR4 variants were tested. Detailed clinical phenotypes were determined by reviewing the patients' medical charts. RESULTS Serum LBP level was significantly higher (P < 0.0001 for both), while sCD14 was lower (P < 0.0001) in both active and inactive CD compared to the controls. The accuracy of hs-CRP (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.66), sCD14 (AUC = 0.70), and LBP (AUC = 0.58) was comparable for identifying patients with active disease. There was a significant correlation between LBP (P < 0.001), sCD14 (P = 0.015), and hs-CRP levels but not with antimicrobial seroreactivity or NOD2/CARD15 genotype. In inactive CD, LBP was associated with penetrating disease. In a Kaplan-Meier analysis and a proportional Cox-regression analysis, LBP (P = 0.006), sCD14 (P = 0.007), and previous relapse frequency (P = 0.023) were independently associated with time to clinical relapse during a 12-month follow-up period. CONCLUSIONS Serum LBP and sCD14 are markers of disease activity in CD with a similar accuracy as hs-CRP. In addition, LBP, sCD14, and a high frequency of previous relapses were independent predictors for 1-year clinical flare-up. (Inflamm Bowel Dis 2011).

Oxidative stress, redox homeostasis and cellular stress response in Ménière's disease: role of vitagenes. Neurochem Res 2010; 35:2208-17.

Abstract
Ménière's disease (MD) is characterized by the triad of fluctuating hearing loss, episodic vertigo and tinnitus, and by endolymphatic hydrops found on post-mortem examination. Increasing evidence suggests that oxidative stress is involved in the development of endolymphatic hydrops and that cellular damage and apoptotic cell death might contribute to the sensorineural hearing loss found in later stages of MD. While excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) are toxic, regulated ROS, however, play an important role in cellular signaling. The ability of a cell to counteract stressful conditions, known as cellular stress response, requires the activation of pro-survival pathways and the production of molecules with anti-oxidant, anti-apoptotic or pro-apoptotic activities. Among the cellular pathways conferring protection against oxidative stress, a key role is played by vitagenes, which include heat shock proteins (Hsps) as well as the thioredoxin/thioredoxin reductase system. In this study we tested the hypothesis that in MD patients measurable increases in markers of cellular stress response and oxidative stress in peripheral blood are present. This study also explores the hypothesis that changes in the redox status of glutathione, the major endogenous antioxidant, associated with abnormal expression and activity of carbonic anhydrase can contribute to increase oxidative stress and to disruption of systemic redox homeostasis which can be associated to possible alterations on vulnerable neurons such as spiral ganglion neurons and consequent cellular degeneration. We therefore evaluated systemic oxidative stress and cellular stress response in patients suffering from Meniere's disease (MD) and in age-matched healthy subjects. Systemic oxidative stress was estimated by measuring protein oxidation, such as protein carbonyls (PC) and 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE) in lymphocytes of MD patients, as well as ultraweak luminescence (UCL) as end-stable products of lipid oxidation in MD plasma and lymphocytes, as compared to age-matched controls, whereas heat shock proteins Hsp70 and thioredoxin (Trx) expression were measured in lymphocytes to evaluate the systemic cellular stress response. Increased levels of PC (P < 0.01) and HNE (P < 0.05) have been found in lymphocytes from MD patients with respect to control group. This was paralleled by a significant induction of Hsp70, and a decreased expression of Trx (P < 0.01), whereas a significant decrease in both plasma and lymphocyte ratio reduced glutathione GSH) vs. oxidized glutathione (GSSG) (P < 0.05) were also observed. In conclusion, patients affected by MD are under condition of systemic oxidative stress and the induction of vitagenes Hsp70 is a maintained response in counteracting the intracellular pro-oxidant status generated by decreased content of GSH as well as expression of Trx. The search for novel and more potent inducers of vitagenes will facilitate the development of pharmacological strategies to increase the intrinsic capacity of vulnerable ganglion cells to maximize antidegenerative mechanisms, such as stress response and thus cytoprotection.

Abstract
RUNX3 was recently found to be associated with ulcerative colitis. In this study, downstream target genes of RUNX3 were identified by chromatin immunoprecipitation and promoter sequence microarray chips. Polymorphisms of RUNX3 and its 2 putative downstream (OCTN1 and PPAR-gamma) target genes were genotyped by PCR-SSP and sequencing in 144 Chinese UC patients and 151 healthy controls. Expression of RUNX3 in colonic mucosa of UC patients was detected by immunohistochemical staining. Twelve genes involved in IBD were identified as the downstream target genes of RUNX3. The RUNX3 rs2236851 CT genotype was associated significantly with UC susceptibility and risk of early onset in Chinese population. No association of OCTN1 and PPAR-gamma with UC susceptibility or subphenotypes was identified. RUNX3 expression was significantly increased in UC mucosa. Therefore, RUNX3 might be involved in UC pathogenesis by regulating the expression of genes related with immune response.

Abstract
Heat shock proteins act as molecular chaperones, assist in peptide maturation, and transport nascent peptides across membranes. One commonly studied single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) for one of the proteins is HSPA1B (+A1538G). However, several studies of this polymorphism have failed to achieve Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) for their sample. We compared various published procedures for analyzing the HSPA1B +A1538G SNP and report reasons for HWE discrepancies. Samples from 141 apparently healthy, physically active, volunteers (99 men and 42 women) were analyzed. The first protocol, initially described by Schröder et al., resulted in a genotypic distribution of 22 GG (15.6%), 119 AG (84.4%), and 0 AA; results were confirmed by reanalysis and sequencing. Two other published protocols, one described by Klausz et al. and another by Fekete et al., were used to confirm these results: both resulted in 22 GG (15.6%), 46 AA (32.6%), and 73 AG (51.7%). Additionally, the results were within HWE and confirmed by sequence analysis. Of the original 119 subjects genotyped as AG by the Schröder protocol, 46 of those were confirmed as AA with the Klausz and Fekete methods. Mixing primers from the Schröder and Klausz protocol resulted in 100% concordance with the data generated by the Klausz and Fekete protocols. Some published data on HSP genotyping deviate from HWE; thus, primers used for analyzing these highly homologous genes must be carefully considered. Our results highlight the importance of reinvestigating data when HWE is not achieved for the HSPA1B, or another, polymorphism.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), consisting of Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), poses a great threat to human health. It results from an inappropriate immune response, in genetically susceptible individuals, to microbial antigens of commensal microorganisms. This paper reviews abnormal glucose, lipid and protein metabolism in patients with CD and highlights the application of metabonomics in biomarker revelation for CD.

Abstract
CONCLUSIONS The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) 190 G/C in HSP70-1 (HSPA1A) was found to be a factor associated with Meniere's disease (MD). It is suggested that SNP 190 G/C could be scientific evidence to prove the relation between MD and stress as a trigger factor. OBJECTIVE Although it is widely known that MD might be caused by psychological stress, definitive scientific evidence has not been established. To understand an association between stress and MD, we analyzed the SNP of HSP70-1 (HSPA1A) in patients with MD. SUBJECTS AND METHODS We enrolled 49 patients given a diagnosis MD, consisting of 20 men and 29 women. Controls were 100 normal subjects. We isolated genomic DNA from peripheral leukocytes with the PAX gene Blood DNA kit (Qiagen), and determined the SNP of HSPA1A. All subjects were investigated as regards hearing level and vertigo attacks, and were evaluated as to the profile of mood states (POMS) concerning psychological stress. RESULTS A SNP located on position 190 was found within a regulatory region in HSPA1A, and the frequency of having at least one 190C allele was significantly higher in the MD patients than the controls (p < 0.001).

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Genotype assessment has been suggested to be a tool for predicting disease severity in acute pancreatitis (AP). To study this hypothesis, we performed genotype analysis of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) -308 A/G, CD14 -159C/T, and HSPA1B +1267 A/G polymorphisms. METHODS This is a case-control association study of 397 patients with AP (214 of whom had an alcohol-induced AP) and 300 controls. The control group comprised 218 subjects with detailed data of alcohol consumption, 70 of whom were heavy drinkers (daily alcohol intake >40 g), and 92 blood donors. The severity of AP was determined according to the Atlanta classification. Genotyping was performed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry-assisted genotyping method. RESULTS Major allele frequency in TNF gene was 0.87 for patients with AP and 0.86 for controls. For CD14, the gene major allele frequency was 0.60 for patients and 0.63 for controls. For HSPA1B, the major allele frequencies were 0.52 for patients and 0.49 for controls, respectively. The allele frequencies did not differ significantly between AP patients with organ failure and those with mild disease, patients with alcohol-induced AP, or those with biliary AP. The patients with septic infectious complications (n = 47) had genotype distribution no different from those with mild, uncomplicated disease (n = 245). CONCLUSIONS The TNF, CD14, and HSPA1B polymorphisms studied seem not to play a role in determining the severity of AP or the risk of alcohol-induced AP and thus do not serve as a tool for predicting disease severity.

Abstract
Alcoholic chronic pancreatitis (ACP) develops in only a small number of alcoholics. Monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) and heat-shock protein 70-2 (HSP70-2) polymorphisms have been reported to be associated with the severity of acute pancreatitis. However, their role in pathogenesis of ACP has not been investigated. A genetic association study for susceptibility and severity was performed on 79 male Korean ACP patients and 82 male controls. MCP-1 and HSP70-2 genotypes were determined using a fluorescence polarization detection method. The genotypes and G allele frequencies were no different in patients and controls. However, MCP-1 G allele had an effect on the development of severe ACP, when its frequency was compared in mild to moderate and severe ACP (29.6 vs. 56.0%, P = 0.02). The MCP-1 and HSP70-2 polymorphisms do not play a major role in the development of ACP in Koreans. However, MCP-1 polymorphism may be associated with the severity of ACP.

Abstract
The course of every infection is different. The same pathogen can lead to subclinical, mild, severe or lethal infections in individuals. But is this just chance or determined by individual differences--on the side of the host as well as on the side of the pathogen? If so, we might need to consider these variations for treatment decisions. Indeed, we now understand that genetic polymorphisms and health status represent inborn and acquired risk factors. Similarly, pathogens impress with an increasing number of already identified virulence factors and host response modifiers. The emerging, more complex, view of the factors determining course and outcome of infections promises to enable more tailored and thus, hopefully, more effective treatment decisions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Circulating heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) is present in the circulation of healthy individuals and in patients with various disorders, including chronic heart failure (CHF). However, the source and routes of release of Hsp70 is only partially characterised in clinical samples. AIMS The purpose of this study was to study the clinical and biological correlates of Hsp70 in a CHF population and, for the first time, to investigate the association of HspA1B (also known as Hsp70-2) +1267 alleles with serum Hsp70 levels. METHODS A total of 167 patients (123 men, 44 women) with <45% left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were enrolled; serum Hsp70 level was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and HspA1B +1267 polymorphism by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. RESULTS Increased Hsp70 levels were present in patients with severe CHF (NYHA III-IV) as compared to the group of NYHA I-II (p = 0.003). Hsp70 levels correlated with LVEF, NT-proBNP, serum bilirubin, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, gammaGT (p < 0.05) concentrations in patients with severe CHF, although no correlation was observed between Hsp70 and CRP, TNF-alpha, or IL-6. HspA1B allele G was associated with higher Hsp70 levels (p = 0.001) in patients in NYHA IV class as compared to carriers of allele A. CONCLUSIONS Serum Hsp70 levels were associated with disease severity in heart failure patients. An interaction with the presence of HspA1B +1267 allele G was observed for Hsp70 concentrations. Hsp70 correlates with markers of heart function and hepatic injury, but not with signs of inflammation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM A single nucleotide polymorphism in heat shock protein 70-2 (HSP70-2) has been shown to be associated with a severe clinical course in Crohn's disease (CD), but it is not known if such a relationship exists in ulcerative colitis (UC). The aim of the present study was to identify associations between the HSP70-2 polymorphism and the clinical courses of CD and UC in Koreans. METHODS Restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis was performed for HSP70-2 polymorphisms using the PstI-cleavage site present in the B allele but not in the A allele of the DNA obtained from 101 patients with CD, 144 patients with UC, and 245 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Study subjects were classified by disease behavior, severity and extent of disease. RESULTS In CD, multivariate analysis showed that the AA genotype of HSP70-2 polymorphisms was associated with non-perforating disease (OR 10.10, 95% CI 1.66-15.38) and male sex (OR 3.56, 95% CI 1.04-12.23), and that the BB genotype was associated with severe CD (OR 12.03, 95% CI 1.60-101.56). In contrast, multivariate analysis for UC showed that the AA genotype was associated with severe UC (OR 2.02, 95% CI 1.34-3.03). CONCLUSIONS CD patients with BB genotype of HSP70-2 polymorphism tend to experience a more severe clinical course and allele A is associated with more severe UC. HSP70-2 polymorphism may be used to predict CD and UC phenotypes, which can illuminate immunological differences in CD and UC.

Abstract
The human Elongator complex is remarkably similar to its yeast counterpart in several aspects. In a previous study, we analyzed the functions of the human elongation protein 3 (hELP3) subunit of the human Elongator by using an in vivo yeast complementation system. However, direct evidence for hELP3 functions in regulating gene expression in human cells was not obtained. In this study, we used hELP3 antisense oligonucleotide inhibitors to knock down hELP3 gene expression to investigate its function in human 293T cells. The results showed that specific reduction of hELP3 mRNA and protein caused a significant suppression of HSP70-2 gene expression, and this was accompanied by histone H3 hypoacetylation and decreased RNA polymerase II density at the HSP70-2 gene. Moreover, the data also showed that hELP3 exerted the transcriptional regulatory function directly through its presence on the HSP70-2 gene. Data presented in this report provide further insight and direct evidence of the functions of hELP3 in HSP70-2 gene transcriptional elongation in human cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Crohn's disease is a multifactorial disorder with a pivotal role of the genetic component. HSP70-2 gene, located in IBD3 region, has a PstI polymorphic site associated recently with Crohn's disease especially with a perforating form. In this study, we sought to determine whether this polymorphism was associated with Crohn's disease in the Tunisian population and its correlation with clinical manifestation of the disease. METHODS In all, 148 patients with Crohn's disease and 81 healthy individuals were genotyped for the HSP70-2 PstI polymorphism by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. RESULTS The allele and genotype frequency of the PstI polymorphism did not differ between patients and controls. Furthermore, this polymorphism was not associated with specific disease behavior. CONCLUSION This study reported the absence of association between Crohn's disease and HSP70-2 gene in the Tunisian population. The allele A of PstI polymorphism was not associated with phenotype of the disease.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Immune responses to commensal bacteria and resulting chronic inflammation are hallmarks of inflammatory bowel disease. Considerable evidence has accumulated to suggest that innate immune defense mechanisms interact with pro-inflammatory pathways and exacerbate or perhaps even initiate development of inflammatory bowel disease. RECENT FINDINGS Recent cellular and mouse studies now show Toll-like receptor responses in intestinal epithelial cells are polarized and their activation by commensal bacteria plays an essential role in maintaining colonic homeostasis and controlling tolerance in the gut. Recent data also implicate signaling by Toll-like receptors and the common adaptor molecule MyD88 in intestinal epithelial homeostasis as well as the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease, establishing a key link between the innate and adaptive immune defenses. SUMMARY We review recent progresses in the understanding of the role of Toll-like receptors and other pattern recognition receptors in the host defense against gastrointestinal pathogens and maintenance of immune tolerance to commensal bacteria, highlighting areas that should provide fertile ground for future studies aimed at a more comprehensive understanding of the interplay between innate and adaptive immune defense mechanisms and inflammatory bowel disease.

Abstract
Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), also known as inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), are characterized by chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. IBD is among the few complex diseases for which several genomic regions and specific genes have been identified and confirmed in multiple replication studies. We will review the different loci implicated in disease risk in the context of three proposed mechanisms leading to chronic inflammation of the gut mucosa: 1) deregulation of the innate immune response to enteric microflora or pathogens; 2) increased permeability across the epithelial barrier; and 3) defective regulation of the adaptive immune system. As our knowledge of genetic variation, analytical approaches and technology improves, additional genetic risk factors are expected to be identified. With the identification of novel risk variants, additional pathophysiological mechanisms are likely to emerge. The resulting discoveries will further our molecular understanding of IBD, potentially leading to improved disease classification and rational drug design. Moreover, these approaches and tools can be applied in the context of variable drug response with the goal of providing more personalized clinical management of patients with IBD.

Association of a maternal CD14 -159 gene polymorphism with preterm premature rupture of membranes and spontaneous preterm birth in multi-fetal pregnancies. J Reprod Immunol 2006; 70:109-17.

Abstract
CD14, the major receptor for bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as well as other microbial antigens, is a component of the innate immune system. We hypothesized that a single nucleotide C>T polymorphism at position -159 in the CD14 gene that results in elevated CD14 production would influence susceptibility to preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) and spontaneous preterm birth (SPTB) in multi-fetal pregnancies. DNA from 107 mother-twin and three mother-triplet pairs was analyzed. Pregnancy outcomes were obtained after completion of testing. CD14*T homozygosity was present in 39.3% of 28 women whose pregnancies ended with PPROM, as opposed to 18.1% of 72 pregnancies without a SPTB (P=0.03). There was no relation between the fetal CD14 genotype and PPROM. The likelihood ratio (LR) for PPROM was 2.2 for women homozygous for CD14*T. The LR increased to 3.3 and 3.6 if the CD14 polymorphism was present in combination with previously determined maternal polymorphisms in the genes coding for the inducible 70kDa heat shock protein (hsp70-2) and the interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL1RN), respectively. Thus, an enhanced maternal pro-inflammatory immune response to LPS may increase susceptibility to PPROM in multi-fetal pregnancies.
