The Role of CD1 Gene Polymorphism in the Genetic Susceptibility to Spondyloarthropathies in the Moroccan Population and the Possible Cross-Link with Celiac Disease. Vaccines (Basel) 2023; 11:vaccines11020237. [PMID: 36851115 PMCID: PMC9963915 DOI: 10.3390/vaccines11020237] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2022] [Revised: 01/16/2023] [Accepted: 01/17/2023] [Indexed: 01/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Spondyloarthropathies (SpA) are a group of chronic inflammatory disorders usually affecting the axial spine and asymmetrical peripheral joints. Strong evidence links genetic and environmental factors to SpA pathogenesis. The HLA-B27 is the most important genetic factor associated with SpA. Nevertheless, the involvement of other HLA and non-HLA loci has been also reported. Some patients with SpA may also manifest features of celiac disease (CeD), thus suggesting a genetic overlap across these autoimmune diseases. Recently, CD1 glycoproteins, a class of molecules able to bind and present non peptidic antigens to T cells, aroused interest for their contribution to the pathogenesis of CeD. Therefore, to evaluate whether functional polymorphisms of CD1A and E genes also influence susceptibility to SpA, we analyzed 86 patients from Morocco affected by SpA and 51 healthy controls, using direct sequencing analysis. An increase of CD1E*01/01 homozygous genotype (p = 0.046) was found in SpA, compared with controls. CD1E*01/01 genotype was associated particularly to patients with sacroiliac joints/spine/peripheral joints pain (p = 0.0068), while a decrease of CD1E*01/02 genotype was evidenced compared to controls (p = 0.0065). Results from haplotypes analysis demonstrated that CD1A*02-E*02 decreased the risk of SpA, while CD1A*02-E*01 increased risk to develop disease. Our data indicate a relationship between CD1 genes and susceptibility to SpA in the Moroccan population and suggest the existence of shared genetic risk loci across SpA and CeD that might be useful to explain common pathogenetic features and define novel therapeutic strategies.

CD1 gene polymorphism and susceptibility to celiac disease: Association of CD1E*02/02 in Moroccans. Hum Immunol 2020; 81:361-365. [PMID: 32467040 DOI: 10.1016/j.humimm.2020.05.005] [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: 01/17/2020] [Revised: 04/26/2020] [Accepted: 05/12/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
CD1 glycoproteins are a class of antigen presenting molecules that bind and present non-peptidic antigens (lipids and glycolipids) for immune recognition. CD1 polymorphisms, although limited, could have a critical role in antimicrobial, anticancer, and autoimmune responses and disease susceptibility. Ethnic differences and interactions between genetic and environmental factors make it attractive the study of these molecules in autoimmune inflammatory disorders, such as celiac disease (CD), in which a strong genetic predisposition (HLA-DQ2/DQ8) and pressure of environmental factors have a central role. CD1A, CD1D and CD1E polymorphisms in exon 2 were assessed in patients from Morocco affected by CD, using direct sequencing analysis, in order to investigate possible associations with the disease in a North African population. Differences in genotype and haplotype distribution of CD1E between celiac patients and controls were found: in particular, an increase of CD1E*02/02 homozygous (OR 2.93, CI 1.30-6.59, p = 0.007) and CD1A*02-E*02 estimated haplotypes in CD, compared with controls. Frequencies of CD1A and CD1D genotypes/alleles were not different between groups. CD1E*02/02, previously suggested as a potential immune protective genotype to malaria susceptibility, could be an additional gene involved in celiac risk in this geographic area.

Abstract
As a marker of neuroaxonal injury, neurofilament light (NFL) in blood is robustly elevated in many neurodegenerative conditions. We aimed to discover single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with longitudinal changes in plasma NFL levels that affect the risk of developing neurodegenerative disease and clinical disease progression. 545 eligible non-Hispanic white participants from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) with longitudinal plasma NFL data were included. Three SNPs (rs16840041, p=4.50×10-8; rs2269714, p=4.50×10-8; rs2269715, p=4.83×10-8) in CD1A were in high linkage disequilibrium (LD) and significantly associated with the increase in plasma NFL levels. We demonstrate a promoting effect of rs16840041-A on clinical disease progression (p = 0.006). Moreover, the minor allele (A) of rs16840041 was significantly associated with accelerated decline in [18F] Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) (estimate -1.6% per year [95% CI -0.6 to -2.6], p=0.0024). CD1A is a gene involved in longitudinal changes in plasma NFL levels and AD-related phenotypes among non-demented elders. Given the potential effects of these variants, CD1A should be further investigated as a gene of interest in neurodegenerative diseases and as a potential target for monitoring disease trajectories and treating disease.

Abstract
Cluster of differentiation (CD)1 molecules are a highly conserved family of MCH-like transmembrane glycoproteins that bind lipid and glycolipid antigens and present a diverse range of microbial and self-glycolipids to antigen-specific T cells. The current study aimed to find out the impact of CD1A and CD1D polymorphisms on pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB). This case-control study encompassed 172 PTB patients and 180 healthy subjects. Genotyping of CD1A and CD1D variants was achieved using the polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism method. The results revealed that CD1A rs411089 variant significantly increased the risk of PTB in recessive model [odds ratio (OR)=2.71, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.38-5.57, CC vs. TT+TC, P=0.005]. CD1D rs859009 polymorphism significantly reduced the risk of PTB in heterozygous codominant (OR=0.50, 95% CI=0.29-0.86, P=0.011, GC vs. GG) and dominant (OR=0.53, 95% CI=0.31-0.88, P=0.019, GC+CC vs. GG) inheritance model. The CD1A rs366316, CD1D rs973742 and CD1D rs859010 were not associated with the risk/protection from PTB (P>0.05). The results of the present study suggest that CD1A rs411089 and CD1D rs859009 but not CD1A rs366316, CD1D rs973742 and CD1D rs859010 polymorphisms are associated with PTB in a sample of the Iranian population. Further investigation with different ethnicities and larger sample sizes are necessary to certify the findings of the present study.

Abstract
Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) and Mycobacterium bovis (BCG) have been associated to several human autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS), but there are conflicting evidence on the issue. The objective of this study is to evaluate their role in Japanese patients affected by inflammatory demyelinating disorders of the central nervous system (IDDs). A total of 97 IDDs subjects including 51 MS and 46 neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) patients, and 34 healthy controls (HCs) were tested for the detection of IgG, IgM and IgA against mycobacterial antigens by indirect ELISA. The levels of anti-MAP IgG were higher in MS patients compared to NMOSD patients (AUC = 0.59, p = 0.02) and HCs (AUC = 0.67, p = 0.01), and the anti-MAP antibodies were more prevalent in MS patients treated with interferon-beta (OR = 11.9; p = 0.004). Anti-BCG IgG antibodies were detected in 8% of MS, 32% of NMOSD and 18% of HCs, the difference between MS and NMOSD groups was statistically significant (AUC = 0.66, p = 0.005). Competition experiments showed that nonspecific IgM were elicited by common mycobacterial antigens. Our study provided further evidence for a possible association between MAP and MS, while BCG vaccination seemed to be inversely related to the risk of developing MS.

Abstract
CD1 molecules are specialized in capturing and presenting lipids and glycolipids to distinct subsets of T and NKT cells. Glycolipid presentation could play a significant role in the immune response against microbial infections. There are five closely linked CD1 genes in humans, named CD1A, B, C, D, and E, which all show a limited polymorphism. In this study, exon 2 polymorphisms of CD1A, CD1D and CD1E were investigated and allele, genotype and haplotype frequencies of these loci were reported in a Moroccan population. A comparison with allele, genotype and haplotype frequencies observed in other geographic areas was also performed. Results confirmed the presence of ethnic differences in CD1 polymorphism, mainly in CD1D (in this population two additional CD1D variant alleles, CD1D(∗)03 and CD1D(∗)04, were described) and E genes. These data could be useful to evaluate a possible pathogenetic role of CD1 in diseases. Increasing the knowledge in this field may offer possibilities for the development of new immunotherapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Central nervous system (CNS) myelin, the likely major target of autoimmune attack in multiple sclerosis (MS), contains a number of unique components that are potential targets of the attack. Two classes of molecules that are greatly enriched in CNS myelin compared to other parts of the body are certain types of proteolipids and glycolipids. Due to the hydrophobic nature of both of these classes of molecules, they present challenges for use in immunological assays and have therefore been somewhat neglected in studies of T-cell reactivity in MS compared to more soluble molecules such as the myelin basic proteins and the extracellular domain of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein. This review firstly looks at the makeup of CNS myelin, with an emphasis on proteolipids and glycolipids. Next, a retrospective of what is known of T-cell reactivity directed against proteolipids and glycolipids in patients with MS is presented, and the implications of the findings are discussed. Finally, this review considers the question of what would be required to prove a definite role for autoreactivity against proteolipids and glycolipids in the pathogenesis of MS.

Abstract
Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are childhood psychopathologies characterized by having difficulties in social interaction, verbal and non-verbal communication as well as sensor motor movements. Evidence suggests that in ASDs environmental toxicant exposure, genetic and mitochondrial dysfunction are involved associated with abnormal immune response with allergic problems and elevated serum IgE. ASDs present the major cytokine and chemokine dysfunction in CNS and is mediated by an increase of pro-inflammatory cytokine levels in the brain, such as TNF, IL-1, IFN-γ, IL-6, IL-8 and others. Mast cells, which are also implicated in ASDs, are worsened by stress and produce proinflammatory cytokines and can be stimulated by neurotensin in the brain and gut, contributing also to the inflammatory response. However, the exact etiology of ASDs remains largely unknown.
