[PMID: 38215116 PMCID: PMC10783333 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000036817] [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: 07/20/2023] [Accepted: 12/08/2023] [Indexed: 01/14/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is common in clinical practice and imposes both physical and psychological distress on patients. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of fire needle therapy for the treatment of RAS, providing a basis for clinical decision-making. METHODS Eight databases, in both Chinese and English, were searched from their inception until December 2022. All randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that utilized fire needle therapy, either alone or combined with other treatments for RAS, were considered. Data evaluation and extraction were conducted independently by 2 authors. RESULTS The revised Cochrane Risk of Bias Version 2 tool was employed to assess the risk of bias in the included RCTs. A meta-analysis was conducted using Review Manager 5.4 and Stata 15.0. Nine RCTs involving 1469 patients were selected for inclusion. The meta-analysis revealed that, compared to a non-fire-needle control group (primarily utilizing vitamin and transfer factor treatments), fire needle therapy for RAS significantly improved the total effective rate (relative risk = 1.25, 95% confidence interval [CI] [1.14, 1.36], P < .00001), reduced the visual analogue scale score (mean difference = -1.68, 95% CI [-1.82, -1.53], P < .0001), diminished the Traditional Chinese Medicine symptom score (standardized mean difference = -1.20, 95% CI [-1.76, -0.65], P < .0001), and shortened the healing time (mean difference = -1.66, 95% CI [-2.73, -0.59], P = .002). Notably, there was no significant difference in the recurrence rate between the groups (relative risk = -0.18, 95% CI [-0.36, 0.01], P = .06). Further subgroup analysis on total efficacy rate was performed based on variables such as experimental group intervention, control group intervention, and duration of therapy to explore potential sources of heterogeneity. CONCLUSION Fire needle therapy appears to be a clinically effective treatment for RAS, offering benefits such as pain alleviation, symptom improvement based on the Traditional Chinese Medicine parameters, and faster recovery. Nonetheless, the overall quality of the RCTs available raises concerns. Future research, involving high-quality RCTs, is essential to confirm the clinical efficacy and safety of this treatment. Registration number: PROSPERO (CRD42023387973).

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The nod-like receptor pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome regulates the maturation and release of the cytokines as well as the activation of caspase in response to danger signals derived from pathogenic infection, tissue damage, andmetabolic changes that have a role in the pathogenesis of different diseases as periodontitis. Yet, the susceptibility to this illness could be determined by population-based genetic differences. The aim of this study was to determine whether periodontitis in Arab populations from Iraq is correlated with NLRP3 gene polymorphisms and measure clinical periodontal parameters and investigate their association with genetic polymorphisms of the NLRP3. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study sample consisted of 94 participants ranging from 30 to 55 years old, both males and females who fulfilled the study's criteria. The selected participants were divided into two groups: the periodontitis group (62 subjects) and the healthy control group (32 subjects). The examination of clinical periodontal parameters of all participants was carried out, followed by a collection of venous blood for NLRP3 genetic analysis using the polymerase chain reaction-sequencing technique. RESULTS The genetic analysis of NLRP3 genotypes at four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs10925024, rs4612666, rs34777555, and rs10754557), by Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, identified nonsignificant differences in studied groups. The C-T genotype among periodontitis was significantly different from controls, while the C-C genotype among control was significantly different from periodontitis at NLRP3 rs10925024. Overall, there were 35 SNPs in the periodontitis group and 10 SNPs in the control group for rs10925024 with significant differences versus nonsignificant differences of the other SNPs between the studied groups. Clinical attachment loss and NLRP3 rs10925024 additionally demonstrated a significant positive correlation in the periodontitis subjects. CONCLUSION The findings suggested that polymorphisms of the NLRP3 gene may have a role and increasing the genetic susceptibility to periodontal disease in Arabs Iraqi patients.

Abstract
Juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus (JSLE) is a multifaceted multifactorial disorder with an unclear etiopathogenesis. Environmental factors, genetic factors, and dysregulated and defective immune system responses are known to have a role in JSLE etiopathogenesis. NLRP3 inflammasome, as an important contributor to immune-mediated inflammatory responses, is assumed to be involved in JSLE etiopathogenesis. To determine whether the NLRP3 genetic variants are altered in patients with JSLE. Fifty-three patients diagnosed with JSLE and 56 healthy sex-matched controls were studied. NLRP3 (C/G rs10754558, C/T rs3806265, C/T rs4612666, A/C rs35829419) gene polymorphisms were evaluated using a TaqMan single-nucleotide polymorphism assay. C allele at position rs3806265 was detected in higher frequencies in patients than in the control group (37.74% vs 23.21%, P-value = .028). At the genotype level at the same position, CT has a significantly higher frequency in patients than the healthy subjects (75.47% vs 46.43%, P-value = .003). The NLRP3 rs3806265 CT genotype was detected at a higher frequency in patients with JSLE than in the healthy control group.

NLRP3, NLRC4 and NLRC5 Gene Polymorphisms Associate with Susceptibility of Pulmonary Aspergillosis in Non-Neutropenic Patients. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11071870. [PMID: 35407478 PMCID: PMC8999807 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11071870] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2022] [Revised: 03/22/2022] [Accepted: 03/25/2022] [Indexed: 01/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Non-neutropenic pulmonary aspergillosis is one of the most common and serious fungal infections. Previous studies have shown that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of pattern recognition receptors genes are associated with susceptibility to aspergillosis. NOD-like receptors (NLRs) play an important role in the immunological response against fungal infection. In this study, we investigated the relationship between polymorphisms of three NLRs and susceptibility to pulmonary aspergillosis disease in non-neutropenic patients. Methods: We included 73 patients with proven pulmonary aspergillosis and 103 healthy controls. A total of sixteen SNPs in the NLRP3, NLRC4, and NLRC5 genes were detected by PCR-direct sequencing. Then, we evaluated the association between these polymorphisms and susceptibility to aspergillosis. Results: Fifteen SNPs were consistent with Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium except for NLRP3 rs7525979. A total of eight SNPs (NLRP3 rs3806265, NLRC4 rs212704 and NLRC5 rs1684579, rs12598522, rs3995817, rs3995818, rs34531240, rs28438857) were observed an association with susceptibility of pulmonary aspergillosis. The CC homozygote of NLRP3 rs3806265, TT homozygote of NLRC5 rs1684579 and T allele of NLRC5 rs12598522 were associated with a higher risk of aspergillosis while TT homozygote of NLRC4 rs212704 was associated with a lower risk of aspergillosis. Especially in the invasive pulmonary aspergillosis subgroup, the TT homozygote of NLRC5 rs1684579 and rs3995817, the CC homozygote of NLRC5 rs34531240 and rs28438857, GG homozygote of NLRC5 rs3995818, the C allele and CC homozygote of NLRP3 rs3806265 were associated with higher susceptibility. Conclusions: This study showed an association between polymorphisms of NLRP3, NLRC4, and NLRC5 and susceptibility to pulmonary aspergillosis for the first time. Further investigations in larger populations are needed, and functional studies are also required to investigate the function of these NLRs in aspergillosis, as well as other fungal infection diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The NLRP3 gene is reportedly associated with several autoimmune diseases. However, in the Chinese Han population, whether NLRP3 polymorphisms are associated with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is unclear. Therefore, this study examined the associations of rs3806265 and rs4612666 of the NLRP3 gene with T1D susceptibility and the clinical characteristics of Chinese Han T1D patients. METHODS In total, 510 classic T1D patients and 531 healthy controls from the Chinese Han population were recruited for a case-control study. rs3806265 and rs4612666 of the NLRP3 gene were genotyped by MassARRAY. Logistic regression analysis and the chi-square test were used to compare the distributions of the alleles and genotypes of rs3806265 and rs4612666. The relationships between rs3806265 and rs4612666 and the clinical characteristics of T1D patients were analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis one-way ANOVA. Student's t test was used to analyze normally distributed data. Bonferroni correction was used for multiple comparisons. RESULTS 1) rs3806265 was associated with glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody (GADA) titers (P = 0.02), and patients with the CC genotype had higher GADA titers than patients with the TT genotype. 2) rs4612666 was also associated with GADA titers (P=0.041). Compared with patients with the CC genotype, patients with the TT genotype had higher GADA titers. 3) rs3806265 and rs4612666 of the NLRP3 gene were not significantly associated with T1D susceptibility under different genetic models. CONCLUSION rs3806265 and rs4612666 of the NLRP3 gene were significantly associated with GADA titers in Chinese Han T1D patients.

Abstract
Oral ulcer is a common oral inflammatory lesion accompanied by severe pain but with few effective treatments. Cannabidiol (CBD) is recently emerging for its therapeutic potential in a range of diseases, including inflammatory conditions and cancers. Here we show that CBD oral spray on acid- or trauma-induced oral ulcers on mice tongue inhibits inflammation, relieves pain, and accelerates lesion closure. Notably, the enrichment of genes associated with the NOD, LRR, and NLRP3 pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome pathway is downregulated after CBD treatment. The expression of cleaved-gasdermin D (GSDMD) and the percentage of pyroptotic cells are reduced as well. In addition, CBD decreases the expression of cytidine/uridine monophosphate kinase 2 (CMPK2), which subsequently inhibits the generation of oxidized mitochondria DNA and suppresses inflammasome activation. These immunomodulating effects of CBD are mostly blocked by peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ (PPARγ) antagonist and partially antagonized by CB1 receptor antagonist. Our results demonstrate that CBD accelerates oral ulcer healing by inhibiting CMPK2-mediated NLRP3 inflammasome activation and pyroptosis, which are mediated mostly by PPARγ in the nucleus and partially by CB1 in the plasma membrane.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In this case-control study, we investigated the association between nucleotide oligomerization domain-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs10754558, rs3806265, rs4612666, and rs35829419 and myasthenia gravis (MG). METHODS Samples from MG patients were selected from a previous study conducted in our neuromuscular clinic, which investigated the association between human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II genes and MG. Genetic data of controls were also available from another study. The NLRP3 SNPs genotyping was performed using the TaqMan method. RESULTS A total of 93 blood samples from eligible Iranian patients with MG and 56 samples from healthy controls were obtained. The NLRP3 rs3806265 "C" allele was significantly more frequent in MG patients (P < .001; odd ratio [OR] = 2.33, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.4-4.0) than controls. The "CC" genotype of this SNP was found in 18.27% of patients, but none of the controls (P < .001). The distribution of other SNPs was similar between the groups. DISCUSSION These preliminary results suggest that there might be some associations between the NLRP3 gene polymorphism and MG.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aetiology of recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) remains unknown. Individuals may share features of genetic susceptibility, and there may also be a hereditary component. The aim was to identify patterns of association and segregation for genetic variants and to identify the genes and signalling pathways that determine the risk of developing RAS, through a family-based genome-wide association study (GWAS). SUBJECTS AND METHODS DNA was extracted from buccal swabs of 91 individuals in 16 families and analysed in an Illumina core exome single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array. A family-based association test (dFAM) was used to derive SNP association values across all chromosomes. RESULTS None of the final 288,452 SNPs reached the genome-wide significant threshold of 5 × 10-8 . The most significant pathways were the Ras and PI3K-Akt signalling pathways, pathways in cancer, circadian entrainment and the Rap 1 signalling pathway. CONCLUSIONS This confirms that RAS is not monogenic but results as a consequence of interactions between multiple host genes and possibly also environmental factors. The present approach provides novel insights into the mechanisms underlying RAS and raises the possibility of identifying individuals at risk of acquiring this condition.

Abstract
Purpose of article: This review examines studies published between May 2012 and 2017 with a specific interest in potential recurrent aphthous ulceration (RAU) etiologies and treatment modalities/efficacy, including topical treatments, systemic regimens, vitamin repletion, and laser therapy, among others. MATERIALS AND METHODS PubMed MEDLINE and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews were searched using various combinations of: 'aphthous', 'ulcer', and 'treatment'. The titles and abstracts from the initial literature search were appraised to identify articles for full review and reference sections from each article were searched manually for relevant publications. Both randomized controlled trials and observational reports were included in this review, as some treatment types have not been formally examined in randomized trials. Relevant studies were reviewed, compared, and summarized. RESULTS RAU can result from systemic disease and trauma, but recent studies have shown a variety of potential etiologies, ranging from vitamin deficiencies, oral microbiota derangements, hematological considerations, stress, genetic polymorphisms to oxidant-antioxidant imbalances, among others. Many modalities of therapy are available and have proven efficacious. CONCLUSIONS As the exact etiology of RAU is still unknown, therapy is based on symptomatic relief.

Zhao S, Chen H, Wu G, Zhao C. The association of NLRP3 and TNFRSF1A polymorphisms with risk of ankylosing spondylitis and treatment efficacy of etanercept. J Clin Lab Anal 2017; 31. [PMID: 28116820 DOI: 10.1002/jcla.22138] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2016] [Accepted: 12/13/2016] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND To discover how NLRP3 and TNFRSF1A polymorphisms affect the efficacy of traditional medicine and etanercept for ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients. METHODS Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and haplotype analyses were conducted based on determined NLRP3 and TNFRSF1A among AS patients. We subsequently analyzed the relationship between relevant clinical indexes and polymorphisms of NLRP3 and TNFRSF1A. RESULTS The 4 SNP loci on NLRP3 and 3 SNP loci on TNFRSF1A showed significant linkage disequilibrium, respectively. The T allele of NLRP3 rs4612666 and the T allele of TFRSF1A rs4149570 are both associated with AS (P<.05). The T-A-C-T haplotype of NLRP3 as well as the G-C-C, T-C-C, T-C-T, and T-T-T haplotypes of TFRSF1A are associated with AS (P<.05). The morning stiffness time, BASDAI scoring, and ESR of patients receiving etanercept were significantly higher than those receiving traditional medicine. T allele of NLRP3 rs4612666 had a significantly greater negative impact on the ASAS20 improvement than C allele. Whereas the A allele of NLRP3 rs3806268 had a significantly greater positive impact on the ASAS20 improvement than G allele. There is no significant association between SNP and efficacy of traditional medicine in the treatment of AS. CONCLUSION NLRP3 and TFRSF1A (rs4149570) are associated with AS susceptibility. There is a significant association between NLRP3 polymorphisms and treatment of etanercept.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study determined whether NLRP3 polymorphisms rs35829419 C/A and rs10754558 C/G were associated with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. METHODS An association between the NLRP3 rs35829419 C/A and rs10754558 C/G polymorphisms and autoimmune and inflammatory diseases was determined by performing a meta-analysis by using (1) allele contrast, (2) recessive, (3) dominant, and (4) co-dominant models. RESULTS Thirty comparative studies involving 8069 patients and 8824 controls were included in the meta-analysis. No association was observed between autoimmune and inflammatory diseases and NLRP3 rs35829419 C allele (OR = 1.020, 95% CI = 0.804-1.295, p = 0.869). Stratification by ethnicity showed no association between the NLRP3 rs35829419 C allele and autoimmune and inflammatory diseases in European, Latin American, and Polynesian populations. Stratification by disease type showed no association between the NLRP3 rs35829419 C allele and gout, SLE, RA, celiac disease, and Crohn's disease. Moreover, no association was observed between autoimmune and inflammatory diseases and the NLRP3 rs10754558 C allele (OR = 1.057, 95% CI = 0.950-1.177, p = 0.310). However, stratification by ethnicity showed an association between the NLRP3 rs10754558 C allele and autoimmune and inflammatory diseases in the Latin American (OR = 1.399, 95% CI = 1.201-1.630, p = 1.6 × 10-6) but not in European and Asian populations. Further, stratification by disease type showed a significant association of the NLRP3 rs10754558 C allele with SLE (OR = 1.465 95% CI = 1.144-1.875, p = 0.002) but not with gout and celiac disease. The same pattern was observed for the NLRP3 rs10754558 C allele in the recessive model. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicated that the NLRP3 rs10754558 C/G polymorphism was associated with susceptibility to SLE and with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases in Latin American individuals.
