Li X, Yang Y, Meng Q, Shen Y. Association of single nucleotide polymorphisms of IL-6 gene with frailty in the Chinese Bai nationality. Medicine (Baltimore) 2023; 102:e35010. [PMID: 37682132 PMCID: PMC10489266 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000035010] [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: 06/20/2023] [Accepted: 08/08/2023] [Indexed: 09/09/2023] Open
Abstract
To investigate the impact of 3 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the interleukin-6 (IL-6) gene and their interaction on susceptibility to frailty in the elderly in rural areas of China Bai nationality. Taking the Bai people in Dali, China as the research object, and according to the frailty phenotype scale, there were 2 groups: frail and non-frail. Basic information about the study participants was gathered using a questionnaire. Clinical biochemical indices were also evaluated and the Sanger method was used to identify the sequences of the IL-6 gene loci at rs1524107, rs1800796, and rs10499563. SHEsis online software was used to analyze the linkage disequilibrium of IL-6 gene sites and the relationship between haploids and frailty. The MDR software was used to analyze the 3 sites and their interactions. Among 231 rural Bai elderly people, 63 (27.3%) were frail and 168 (72.7%) were non-frail. The SNPs of rs1524107, rs1800796, and rs10499563 in the IL-6 gene were not associated with the occurrence of frailty, nor were they associated with clinical indicators such as grip strength and gait speed. After adjusting for age and gender, there was no significant difference in the distribution of the 3 genetic models composed of the 3 SNPs between frail and non-frail populations (all P > .05). The 3 haplotypes were not associated with the occurrence of frailty, and the interaction between the 3 loci was not associated with the susceptibility to frailty. The SNP of rs1524107, rs1800796, and rs10499563 sites of IL-6 gene may not be related to frailty susceptibility in Dali Bai people. Differences in frailty mechanisms among other populations at the gene level, which are of enormous significance for the prevention and treatment of frailty, require further research with larger samples and more gene loci.

Factors of Obesity and Metabolically Healthy Obesity in Asia. Medicina (B Aires) 2022; 58:medicina58091271.

Abstract
The East Asian region (China, Japan, and South Korea) is comprised of almost 1.5 billion people and recent industrialization has brought with it a pandemic of rising obesity, even in children. As these countries are rapidly aging and functioning at sub-replacement birthrates, the burgeoning costs of obesity-related care may threaten socialized healthcare systems and quality of life. However, a condition called metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) has been found to be without immediate cardiopulmonary or diabetic risk. Thus, maintenance of the MHO condition for the obese in East Asia could buffer the burden of long-term obesity care on medical systems and knowledge of the biochemical, genetic, and physiological milieu associated with it could also provide new targets for intervention. Diverse physiological, psychological, environmental, and social factors play a role in obesogenesis and the transition of MHO to a metabolically unhealthy obesity. This review will give a broad survey of the various causes of obesity and MHO, with special emphasis on the East Asian population and studies from that region.

Use of Network Pharmacology and Molecular Docking Technology to Analyze the Mechanism of Action of Velvet Antler in the Treatment of Postmenopausal Osteoporosis. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2021; 2021:7144529. [PMID: 34671409 PMCID: PMC8523247 DOI: 10.1155/2021/7144529] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2021] [Revised: 09/27/2021] [Accepted: 09/29/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Deer velvet antlers are the young horns of male deer that are not ossified and densely overgrown. Velvet antler and its preparations have been widely used in the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) in recent years, although its mechanism of action in the human body remains unclear. To screen the effective ingredients and targets of velvet antler in the treatment of PMOP using network pharmacology and to explore the potential mechanisms of velvet antler action in such treatments, we screened the active ingredients and targets of velvet antler in the BATMAN-TCM database. We also screened the relevant targets of PMOP in the GeneCards and OMIM databases and then compared the targets at the intersection of both velvet antler and PMOP. We used Cytoscape 3.7.2 software to construct a network diagram of "disease-drug-components-targets" and a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network through the STRING database and screened out the core targets; the R language was then used to analyze the shared targets between antler and PMOP for GO-enrichment analysis and KEGG pathway-annotation analysis. Furthermore, we used the professional software Maestro 11.1 to verify the predictive analysis based on network pharmacology. Hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining and micro-CT were used to observe the changes in trabecular bone tissue, further confirming the results of network pharmacological analysis. The potentially effective components of velvet antler principally include 17β-E2, adenosine triphosphate, and oestrone. These components act on key target genes such as AKT1, IL6, MAPK3, TP53, EGFR, SRC, and TNF and regulate the PI3K/Akt-signaling and MAPK-signaling pathways. These molecules participate in a series of processes such as cellular differentiation, apoptosis, metabolism, and inflammation and can ultimately be used to treat PMOP; they reflect the overall regulation, network regulation, and protein interactions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We performed a meta-analysis to determine the effect Interleukin-6 (IL-6) promoter polymorphism (-174 G>C, -572 G>C, and -597 G>A) have on the development rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by ethnicity. MATERIAL AND METHODS PubMed, EBSCO, LILACS, and Scopus databases were searched for studies exploring the association between any IL6 polymorphisms and RA until November 2018. Genotype distributions were extracted and, depending on the level heterogeneity, determined by the ψ2-based Q test and the Inconsistency Index (I2), fixed-effects or random-effects models were used to calculate pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CIs) for the heterozygous, homozygous, dominant, recessive, and allelic genetic models. RESULTS From 708 identified publications, 33 were used in this analysis. For the -174 polymorphism, Asians (ORheterozygous=7.57, 95%CI: 2.28-25.14, ORhomozygous=5.84, 95%CI: 2.06-16.56, ORdominant=7.21, 95%CI: 2.30-22.63, ORrecessive=5.04, 95%CI: 1.78-14.28, ORallelic=6.60, 95%CI: 2.26-19.28, p<.05) and Middle East countries (ORheterozygous=2.30, 95%CI: 1.10-4.81, ORdominant=2.27, 95%CI: 1.22-4.22, ORallelic=2.29, 95%CI: 1.24-4.23, p<.05) were associated with a significant risk of developing RA. Whereas, for Latinos, the C-allele was associated with a benefit (ORhomozygous=0.26, 95%CI: .08-.82, ORrecessive=.25, 95%CI: .08-.80, p<.05). For the -572 polymorphism, Asians demonstrated a significant association for the homozygous and recessive genetic models (8 studies, ORhomozygous=1.56, 95%CI: 1.16-2.09, ORrecessive=1.63, 95%CI: 1.08-2.45, p<.05). For the -597 polymorphism, no association was observed. CONCLUSIONS Here, the -174 G>C polymorphism increased the risk of developing RA in Asians and Middle East populations. Interestingly, for Latinos, the polymorphism was associated with a benefit. For the -572 polymorphism, only the Asian population showed an increased risk of developing RA for the CC genotype.

Shao M, Xie H, Yang H, Xu W, Chen Y, Gao X, Guan S, Xu S, Shuai Z, Pan F. Association of interleukin-6 promoter polymorphism with rheumatoid arthritis: a meta-analysis with trial sequential analysis. Clin Rheumatol 2021; 41:411-419. [PMID: 34494214 DOI: 10.1007/s10067-021-05886-2] [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: 10/15/2020] [Revised: 07/10/2021] [Accepted: 08/10/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The association of interleukin-6 (IL-6) -174G/C (rs1800795) and IL-6 -572G/C (rs1800796) single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) with the risk of acquiring rheumatoid arthritis (RA) was inconsistent among previous studies. This paper aims to investigate the association between IL-6 promoter polymorphism with RA in different ethnics. METHODS Relevant studies were searched using Medline and Google Search engines; STATA software was used to perform the meta-analysis. Pooled odds ratios (OR) were calculated to estimate the potential genetic associations. Subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis were applied to explore the sources of heterogeneity. Lastly, we used TSA (trial sequential analysis) software to verify the reliability of meta-analysis results. RESULTS A total of 18 studies were included, involving 8116 subjects (3820 RA patients and 4296 controls). We found a tendency to associate RA with the IL-6 -174G/C allele in Asians (C vs G: OR = 4.56, 95% CI = 1.85-11.23; P < 0.001); with IL-6 -572G/C genotype or allele frequencies, there was no statistical differences between RA patients and controls (P > 0.05). TSA results indicate that the current meta-analysis can draw conclusions. CONCLUSIONS IL-6-174G/C gene polymorphism were associated with increased risk of RA in Asians, but not in Caucasians. There was no association between IL-6 -572G/C gene polymorphism and the risk of RA. Key Points • Although the association between interleukin-6 (IL-6) promoter polymorphism and rheumatic arthritis (RA) has been discussed in the previous meta-analysis, their conclusions are inconsistent. • In this study, trial sequential analysis (TSA) was introduced into the meta-analysis, and the following two important conclusions were confirmed: (1) IL-6-174G/C gene polymorphism was associated with increased risk of RA in Asians, but not in Caucasians. (2) There was no association between IL-6 -572G/C gene polymorphism and the risk of RA.

Abstract
Objective Osteoporosis and osteoarthritis are metabolic skeletal disorders. This study
aimed to identify specific networks of competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) in
osteoporosis that differ from those in osteoarthritis. Methods The dataset GSE74209 was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus, and
differentially expressed microRNAs (DEmiRNAs) in osteoporotic samples and
osteoarthritic samples were identified. After predicting target genes and
linked long noncoding (lnc)RNAs, ceRNA networks of DEmiRNAs were
constructed. The nodes that overlapped between ceRNA networks and the
Comparative Toxicogenomics Database were selected as key candidates. Results Fifteen DEmiRNAs (including 2 downregulated and 13 upregulated miRNAs) were
identified in osteoporotic samples versus osteoarthritic samples; these
targeted 161 genes and linked to 60 lncRNAs. The ceRNA network consisted of
6 DEmiRNAs, 63 target genes, and 53 lncRNAs. After searching the Comparative
Toxicogenomics Database and mining the literature, 2 lncRNAs
(MALAT1 and NEAT1), 2 DEmiRNAs
(hsa-miR-32-3p,
downregulated; and hsa-miR-22-3p, upregulated) and 6 genes
(SP1, PTEN, ESR1,
ERBB3, CSF1R, and
CDK6) that relate to cell death, growth, and
differentiation were identified as key candidates separating osteoporosis
from osteoarthritis. Conclusions Two miRNA–ceRNA networks (including
NEAT1/MALAT1-hsa-miR-32-3p-SP1/FZD6
and
NEAT1/MALAT1-hsa-miR-22-3p-PTEN/ESR1/ERBB3/CSF1R/CDK6)
might have crucial and specific roles in osteoporosis.

INFECTION GENETICS AND EVOLUTION 2021; 91:104778.

Abstract
The association of polymorphisms in genes responsible for immunological mediators with dengue allows the identification of certain genetic alterations that increase or decrease the development risk of the disease. A few number of studies that correlate the interleukin 6-174 G > C (IL6-174 G > C) polymorphism (rs1800795) with dengue. However, there is an inconsistency on the polymorphism influence on the disease which motivated this meta-analysis. So, this study aimed to evaluate the rs1800795 polymorphism with protection or susceptibility for development of dengue. A search of the literature was performed for studies published before 05 September 2020 in various databases. Calculations of Odds Ratio (OR) with 95% of Confidence Intervals (CI) and heterogeneity (I2) were assessed and publication bias was done by Begg' and Egger's test. The value of P < 0.05 was considered as significant. As results, five case-control studies were identified and included in the results. The analysis showed that the heterozygous genotype has a protective role against dengue without warning signs (DWOS) (OR = 0.57, p = 0.001), as well as the polymorphic C allele (OR = 0.77, p = 0.04). When unifying the data from the included studies, the GG genotype was more prevalent among individuals with dengue with warning signs (DWWS) when compared to the control group (p = 0.0221). GC genotype was more prevalent in the control group than in the DWWS group (p = 0.0119). Therefore, in our study we observed that the GC genotype and the C allele have a protective role against DWOS. Since this polymorphism is associated with low IL-6 expression, thus it is expected that there will be a decreased pro-inflammatory response. However, more studies regarding this thematic are necessary to have a consensus about this polymorphism and dengue.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the influence of education level in the peri-menopausal symptoms and quality of life (QoL) among Chinese women.Methods: We carried out a cross-sectional study of 1632 peri-menopausal women (age 40-60 y) who visited Hangzhou Women's Hospital from November 2018 to November 2019. The menopausal symptoms were evaluated by modified Kupperman index (KI). World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF) questionnaire was used to evaluate the QoL.Result: In total, 1501 women were included in the analysis. The mean age of natural menopause was 49.63 years in China. The five most frequent symptoms in menopausal women were Hot flash (75.53%), sexual problems (72.62%), insomnia (67.29%), fatigue (65.56%), and irritability (61.89%). Natural menopausal age, parity, BMI, bone mineral density, depression, skin formication, total score of KI, and the score of WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire were different in different educational background women (p < .05).Conclusions: The results of the study suggest that education level is associated with the age of natural menopause and menopausal symptoms. A high educational level is correlated with a better score of WHOQOL-BREF in peri-menopause women.

Whereas, for Latinos, the C-allele was associated with a benefit (ORhomozygous=0.26, 95%CI: .08-.82, ORrecessive=.25, 95%CI: .08-.80, p<.05). For the -572 polymorphism, Asians demonstrated a significant association for the homozygous and recessive genetic models (8 studies, ORhomozygous=1.56, 95%CI: 1.16-2.09, ORrecessive=1.63, 95%CI: 1.08-2.45, p<.05). For the -597 polymorphism, no association was observed. CONCLUSIONS Here, the -174 G>C polymorphism increased the risk of developing RA in Asians and Middle East populations. Interestingly, for Latinos, the polymorphism was associated with a benefit. For the -572 polymorphism, only the Asian population showed an increased risk of developing RA for the CC genotype.

Chen B, Li HZ. Association of IL-6 174G/C (rs1800795) and 572C/G (rs1800796) polymorphisms with risk of osteoporosis: a meta-analysis. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2020; 21:330. [PMID: 32466786 PMCID: PMC7257244 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-020-03334-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2020] [Accepted: 05/07/2020] [Indexed: 01/21/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Several studies have been performed to investigate association between IL-6 174G/C (rs1800795) and 572C/G (rs1800796) gene polymorphisms and osteoporosis predisposition. However, the results were conflicting. So, we performed a meta-analysis designed to provide more reliable results for the association between IL-6 gene polymorphisms and osteoporosis. Methods Studies were searched using PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library and Wanfang electronic databases. The odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to evaluate the association between IL-6 174G/C (rs1800795) and 572C/G (rs1800796) gene polymorphisms and osteoporosis risk. The false-positive report probabilities (FPRP) test and the venice criteria were used to assess the credibility of statistically significant associations. Results A total of 9 studies with 1891 osteoporosis patients and 2027 healthy controls were included in current meta-analysis. Overall, The IL-6 174G/C (rs1800795) gene polymorphism was insignificantly associated with osteoporosis vulnerability. For IL-6 572C/G (rs1800796), statistically significant elevated osteoporosis vulnerability was found in IL-6 572C/G additive model (OR = 2.25, 95% CI: 1.55–3.26), dominant model (OR = 1.42, 95% CI: 0.78–2.56) and recessive model (OR = 1.96, 95% CI: 1.36–2.83). However, the IL-6 572C/G C allele was found to be associated with reduced susceptibility to osteoporosis (OR = 0.76, 95% CI: 0.56–1.04). When excluding studies that did not conform to HWE, the results did not change significantly. Further, when we evaluated the credibility of the positive results of the current meta-analysis, we identified less credible positive results in IL-6 572C/G recessive and additive model. Conclusion In conclusion, IL-6 572C/G GG genotype may be associated with increased risk of osteoporosis.
