J Gastroenterol Hepatol 2024; 39:305-311. [PMID: 38058101 DOI: 10.1111/jgh.16426] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2023] [Revised: 09/22/2023] [Accepted: 11/05/2023] [Indexed: 12/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM A large genetic effect of a novel gallstone-associated genetic variant, the hepatocyte nuclear factor 4α (HNF4A) rs1800961 polymorphism, has been identified through recent genome-wide association studies. However, this effect has not been validated in Asian populations. We investigated the association between the rs1800961 variant and gallstones among a Taiwanese population. METHODS A total of 20 405 participants aged between 30 and 70 years voluntarily enrolled in the Taiwan Biobank. Self-report questionnaires, physical examinations, biochemical tests, and genotyping were used for analysis. The association of the HNF4A rs1800961 variant and other metabolic risks with gallstone disease was analyzed using multiple logistic regression models. RESULTS The minor T allele of HNF4A rs1800961 was associated with an increased risk of gallstone, and the association remained significant even after adjustment for other risk factors including age, body mass index (BMI), diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and cigarette smoking (adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 1.90, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.31 to 2.75) in male participants. When further stratified by BMI and age, the lithogenic effect was the most significant in male participants with obesity (adjusted OR = 3.55, 95% CI = 1.92 to 6.56) and who were younger (adjusted OR = 2.45, 95% CI = 1.49 to 4.04). CONCLUSION The novel gallstone-associated HNF4A rs1800961 variant was associated with the risk of gallstone in the Taiwanese men. Screening for the rs1800961 polymorphism may be particularly useful in assessing the risk of gallstone formation in younger or obese men.

Wang J, Jia K, Guo Q, Liu J, Cai J, Shen Y, Su G, Chen X, Lin J, Fang D. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Is Associated with Elevated Plasma Cholesterol in Female TT Homozygotes of LDLR rs5925. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24109016. [PMID: 37240367 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24109016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2023] [Revised: 04/20/2023] [Accepted: 05/17/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
To explore the mechanism of inconsistent relationships between plasma lipid profiles and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) reported before, we hypothesized that interplays might exist between PTSD and a variation of rs5925 at low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene on plasma lipid profiles. To test our hypothesis, we analyzed the plasma lipid profiles of 709 high school pupils with various genotypes of LDLR rs5925 and with or without PTSD. The results demonstrated that PTSD prevalence in the C allele carriers was higher than that in the TT homozygotes regardless of gender. The C allele carriers had higher levels of total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), ratios of TC to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TC/HDL-C) and LDL-C/HDL-C than the TT homozygotes in the male controls, and only higher TC in the female controls, but no differences in the male or female PTSD subjects. PTSD increased TC in the female TT homozygotes but not in the female C allele carriers. PTSD increased TC/HDL-C in the male TT homozygotes but not in the C allele carriers. These results suggest interactions between PTSD and LDLR rs5925 on plasma lipid profiles, which may be among the explanations for previously reported inconsistent relationships between LDLR rs5925 or PTSD and plasma lipid profiles, and facilitate the development of precision medicine interferences in hypercholesterolemia in individuals with different genetic backgrounds and psychiatric status. Psychiatric care or drug supplement may particularly be needed by female hypercholesterolemic subjects with the TT genotype of LDLR rs5925 in Chinese adolescents.

The Bidirectional Relationship between Periodontal Disease and Diabetes Mellitus-A Review. Diagnostics (Basel) 2023; 13:diagnostics13040681. [PMID: 36832168 PMCID: PMC9954907 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics13040681] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2023] [Revised: 02/07/2023] [Accepted: 02/09/2023] [Indexed: 02/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by the presence of a bacterial biofilm known as dental plaque. This biofilm affects the supporting apparatus of the teeth, especially the periodontal ligaments and the bone surrounding the teeth. Periodontal disease and diabetes seem to be interrelated and in a bidirectional relationship, and have been increasingly studied in recent decades. For example, diabetes mellitus has a detrimental effect on periodontal disease, increasing its prevalence, extent, and severity. In turn, periodontitis negatively affects glycemic control and the course of diabetes. This review aims to present the most recently discovered factors that contribute to the pathogenesis, therapy, and prophylaxis of these two diseases. Specifically, the article focuses on microvascular complications, oral microbiota, pro- and anti-inflammatory factors in diabetes, and periodontal disease. As presented in this review, these two diseases require specific/ complementary therapeutic solutions when they occur in association, with new clinical trials and epidemiological research being necessary for better control of this interdependent pathogenic topic.

Abstract
Background Diabetes-associated periodontal disease is caused by diabetes-enhanced host immune-inflammatory responses to bacterial insult. An increasing number of papers related to diabetes-associated periodontal disease have been published. This study analyzed research on diabetes-associated periodontal disease with bibliometrics methods. The objective of this study was to identify hotspots and frontiers in the diabetes-associated periodontal disease research field. Methods Publications were extracted from the Web of Science core collection database, and the document types included were limited to articles and reviews. The bibliometric analysis software CiteSpace5 was used to analyze the number of articles, research fields, countries/regions, institutions, authors, keywords, and other information. Outcomes were visualized to analyze the hotspots and research frontiers of diabetes-associated periodontal disease. Results A total of 3,572 articles were retrieved. Among the research fields, dentistry, oral surgery, and medicine accounted for the highest proportion of publications, and public, environmental, and occupational health had the highest betweenness centrality. The number of publications from the United States ranked first among all the countries, while Columbia University ranked first among all the institutions. Global cooperation was not frequent. Keyword analysis showed that inflammatory pathways were the hotspots. Burst words analysis indicated that early prevention was a research frontier. Conclusions The bibliometric method helped identify research hotspots and frontiers. Inflammatory pathways were hotspots, and early prevention was a frontier in diabetes-associated periodontal disease.

Exploration of cross-talk and pyroptosis-related gene signatures and molecular mechanisms between periodontitis and diabetes mellitus via peripheral blood mononuclear cell microarray data analysis. Cytokine 2022; 159:156014. [PMID: 36084605 DOI: 10.1016/j.cyto.2022.156014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2022] [Revised: 08/04/2022] [Accepted: 08/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This bioinformatics study is aimed at identifying cross-talk genes, pyroptosis-related genes, and related pathways between periodontitis (PD) and diabetes mellitus (DM), which includes type 1 diabetes (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes (T2DM). METHODS GEO datasets containing peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) data of PD and DM were acquired. After batch correction and normalization, differential expression analysis was performed to identify the differentially expressed genes (DEGs). And cross-talk genes in the PD-T1DM pair and the PD-T2DM pair were identified by overlapping DEGs with the same trend in each pair. The weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA) algorithm helped locate the pyroptosis-related genes that are related to cross-talk genes. Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis confirmed the predictive accuracy of these hub genes in diagnosing PD and DM. The correlation between hub genes and the immune microenvironment of PBMC in these diseases was investigated by Spearman correlation analysis. The experimentally validated protein-protein interaction (PPI) and gene-pathway network were constructed. Subnetwork analysis helped identify the key pathway connecting DM and PD. RESULTS Hub genes in the PD-T1DM pair (HBD, NLRC4, AIM2, NLRP2) and in the PD-T2DM pair (HBD, IL-1Β, AIM2, NLRP2) were identified. The similarity and difference in the immunocytes infiltration levels and immune pathway scores of PD and DM were observed. ROC analysis showed that AIM2 and HBD exhibited pleasant discrimination ability in all diseases, and the subnetwork of these genes indicated that the NOD-like receptor signaling pathway is the most potentially relevant pathway linking PD and DM. CONCLUSION HBD and AIM2 could be the most relevant potential cross-talk and pyroptosis-related genes, and the NOD-like receptor signaling pathway could be the top candidate molecular mechanism linking PD and DM, supporting a potential pathophysiological relationship between PD and DM.
