Sönmez HE, Bayındır Y, Batu ED. Cardiovascular manifestations of monogenic periodic fever syndromes. Clin Rheumatol 2023; 42:2717-2732. [PMID: 36622520 DOI: 10.1007/s10067-023-06504-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2022] [Revised: 12/23/2022] [Accepted: 01/02/2023] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
Periodic fever syndromes (PFS) are a group of autoinflammatory diseases characterized by repeated febrile episodes and systemic inflammation. The most common monogenic periodic fever syndromes are familial Mediterranean fever, mevalonate kinase deficiency/hyper immunoglobulin D syndrome, cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome, and tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic syndrome. Although fever is the predominant feature of PFS, other systems, including the cardiovascular system, may be involved in the disease process. This review focuses on cardiovascular risks and issues in monogenic PFS. Cardiovascular involvement may occur as a disease manifestation, association, or result of complications or a drug's adverse effects in monogenic PFS. Pericarditis seems to be a feature of PFS. Patients with recurrent pericarditis or pericarditis resistant to conventional treatment should be evaluated for PFS. Amyloidosis is the most severe complication of PFS, increasing the risk of cardiac morbidity. Furthermore, ongoing inflammation may result in early atherosclerosis. Therefore, assessing cardiovascular risks in PFS patients should be considered a part of routine care. Key points • Pericarditis is the most common cardiac involvement of monogenic periodic fever syndromes (PFS), while some forms may present with myocarditis. • Amyloidosis, the most significant complication of PFS, may lead to deterioration in cardiac functions. • Ongoing inflammation in PFS may result in endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis. • Effective control of inflammation and reducing concomitant risk factors such as obesity, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension could improve cardiovascular outcomes in PFS patients.

Epigenome-wide DNA methylation in leukocytes and toenail metals: The normative aging study. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 217:114797. [PMID: 36379232 PMCID: PMC9825663 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2022.114797] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2022] [Revised: 10/27/2022] [Accepted: 11/10/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Environmental metal exposures have been associated with multiple deleterious health endpoints. DNA methylation (DNAm) may provide insight into the mechanisms underlying these relationships. Toenail metals are non-invasive biomarkers, reflecting a medium-term time exposure window. OBJECTIVES This study examined variation in leukocyte DNAm and toenail arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), manganese (Mn), and mercury (Hg) among elderly men in the Normative Aging Study, a longitudinal cohort. METHODS We repeatedly collected samples of blood and toenail clippings. We measured DNAm in leukocytes with the Illumina HumanMethylation450 K BeadChip. We first performed median regression to evaluate the effects of each individual toenail metal on DNAm at three levels: individual cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) sites, regions, and pathways. Then, we applied a Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) to assess the joint and individual effects of metal mixtures on DNAm. Significant CpGs were identified using a multiple testing correction based on the independent degrees of freedom approach for correlated outcomes. The approach considers the effective degrees of freedom in the DNAm data using the principal components that explain >95% variation of the data. RESULTS We included 564 subjects (754 visits) between 1999 and 2013. The numbers of significantly differentially methylated CpG sites, regions, and pathways varied by metals. For example, we found six significant pathways for As, three for Cd, and one for Mn. The As-associated pathways were associated with cancer (e.g., skin cancer) and cardiovascular disease, whereas the Cd-associated pathways were related to lung cancer. Metal mixtures were also associated with 47 significant CpG sites, as well as pathways, mainly related to cancer and cardiovascular disease. CONCLUSIONS This study provides an approach to understanding the potential epigenetic mechanisms underlying observed relations between toenail metals and adverse health endpoints.

Abstract
Abstract
Aim: For the last 20 years a large amount of data was gathered showing a genetic predisposition to overweight and obesity. The aim of this study was to demonstrate a personalized, genetic-based approach in normalizing the patients’ weight and eating habits.
Materials and methods: Eight patients – seven women and one man – aged 28-51 years with BMI ranging from 17,58 to 38,95 kg/m2 were examined. Two of them were underweight, two – with normal weight, two – overweight, and two – obese. Patients were genotyped for: APOA2 (rs5082), ADIPOQ, (rs17300539), FTO (rs9939609), KCTD10 (rs10850219), LIPC (rs1800588), MMAB (rs2241201), PPARG (rs1801282), ANKK1/DRD2 (rs1800497), TAS2R38 (rs1726866), LEPR (rs2025804) and SLC2A2 (rs5400). Based on the genetic results, the type of diet (balanced, Mediterranean, low-fat and low-carbohydrate) was determined; the predisposition to unhealthy eating habits was described and followed by a genetic counseling to clarify the findings as well as a dietitian consultation to formulate a personalized diet.
Results: Our results showed that the patients’ actual diet was equivocally different from the genetically determined one. Аll patients, except for one, had hereditary predispositions to a particular unhealthy eating habit.
Conclusion: The inclusion of genetic testing and personalization of the diet facilitates the long-term maintenance of optimal body weight.

Abstract
Variations in lipid levels are attributed partly to genetic factors. Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) mainly performed in European, African American and Asian cohorts have identified variants associated with LDL-C, HDL-C, total cholesterol (TC) and triglycerides (TG), but few studies have been performed in sub-Saharan Africans. This study evaluated the effect of single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in eight candidate loci (ABCA1, LCAT, LPL, PON1, CETP, PCSK9, MVK, and MMAB) on lipid levels among 1855 Ghanaian adults. All lipid levels were measured directly using an automated analyser. DNA was extracted and genotyped using the H3Africa SNV array. Linear regression models were used to test the association between SNVs and log-transformed lipid levels, adjusting for sex, age and waist circumference. In addition Bonferroni correction was performed to account for multiple testing. Several variants of CETP, LCAT, PCSK9, and PON1 (MAF > 0.05) were associated with HDL-C, LDL-C and TC levels at p < 0.05. The lead variants for association with HDL-C were rs17231520 in CETP (β = 0.139, p < 0.0001) and rs1109166 in LCAT (β = −0.044, p = 0.028). Lower LDL-C levels were associated with an intronic variant in PCSK9 (rs11806638 [β = −0.055, p = 0.027]) and increased TC was associated with a variant in PON1 (rs854558 [β = 0.040, p = 0.020]). In silico functional analyses indicated that these variants likely influence gene function through their effect on gene transcription. We replicated a strong association between CETP variants and HDL-C and between PCSK9 variant and LDL-C in West Africans, with two potentially functional variants and identified three novel variants in linkage disequilibrium in PON1 which were associated with increasing TC levels in Ghanaians.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To determine the impact of HTRA1 rs1120638, TIMP3 rs9621532, VEGFA rs833068, CFI rs10033900, ERCC6 rs3793784, and KCTD10 rs56209061 genotypes on the development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in the Lithuanian population. METHODS A total of 916 subjects were examined: 309 patients with early AMD, 301 patients with exudative AMD, and 306 healthy controls. The genotyping of HTRA1 rs11200638, TIMP3 rs9621532, VEGFA rs833068, CFI rs10033900, ERCC6 rs3793784, and KCTD10 rs56209061 was carried out using the RT-PCR method. RESULTS Our study showed that single-nucleotide polymorphisms rs3793784 and rs11200638 were associated with increased odds of early and exudative AMD, and the variant in KCTD10 (rs56209061) was found to be associated with decreased odds of early and exudative AMD development after adjustments for age and gender in early AMD analysis and after adjustments only for age in exudative AMD. The haplotype containing two minor alleles C-A and the G-A haplotype in rs3793784-rs11200638 were statistically significantly associated with an increased risk of exudative AMD development after adjustment for age, while the G-G haplotype showed a protective role against early and exudative AMD and the haplotype C-G in rs3793784-rs11200638 was associated with a decreased risk only of exudative AMD development. CONCLUSIONS Our study identified two markers, rs11200638 and rs3793784, as risk factors for early and exudative AMD, and one marker, rs56209061, as a protective factor for early and exudative AMD development. The haplotypes constructed of rs3793784-rs11200638 were found to be associated with AMD development, as well.

Abstract
Evidence has demonstrated that the microRNA (miR) may play a significant role in the development of congenital heart disease (CHD). Here, we explore the mechanism of microRNA-592 (miR-592) in heart development and CHD with the involvement of KCTD10 and Notch signaling pathway in a CHD mouse model. Cardiac tissues were extracted from CHD and normal mice. Immunohistochemistry staining was performed to detect positive expression rate of KCTD10. A series of inhibitor, activators, and siRNAs was introduced to verified regulatory functions for miR-592 governing KCTD10 in CHD. Furthermore, the effect of miR-592 on cell proliferation and apoptosis was also investigated. Downregulated positive rate of KCTD10 was observed in CHD mice. Downregulation of miR-592 would upregulate expression of KCTD10 and inhibit the activation of Notch signaling pathway, thus promote cell proliferation. This study demonstrates that downregulation of miR-592 prevents CHD and hypoplastic heart by inhibition of the Notch signaling pathway via negatively binding to KCTD10.

Abstract
Recent genome-wide association studies have identified various dyslipidemia-related genetic variants. However, most studies were conducted in a cross-sectional manner. We thus performed longitudinal exome-wide association studies of dyslipidemia in a Japanese population. We used ~244,000 genetic variants and clinical data of 6022 Japanese individuals who had undergone annual health checkups for several years. After quality control, the association of dyslipidemia-related phenotypes with 24,691 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) was tested using the generalized estimating equation model. In total, 82 SNPs were significantly (P < 2.03 × 10-6) associated with dyslipidemia phenotypes. Of these SNPs, four (rs74416240 of TCHP, rs925368 of GIT2, rs7969300 of ATXN2, and rs12231744 of NAA25) and two (rs34902660 of SLC17A3 and rs1042127 of CDSN) were identified as novel genetic determinants of hypo-HDL- and hyper-LDL-cholesterolemia, respectively. A replication study using the cross-sectional data of 8310 Japanese individuals showed the association of the six identified SNPs with dyslipidemia-related traits.

Functional analysis of Cullin 3 E3 ligases in tumorigenesis. Biochim Biophys Acta Rev Cancer 2017; 1869:11-28.

Abstract
Cullin 3-RING ligases (CRL3) play pivotal roles in the regulation of various physiological and pathological processes, including neoplastic events. The substrate adaptors of CRL3 typically contain a BTB domain that mediates the interaction between Cullin 3 and target substrates to promote their ubiquitination and subsequent degradation. The biological implications of CRL3 adaptor proteins have been well described where they have been found to play a role as either an oncogene, tumor suppressor, or can mediate either of these effects in a context-dependent manner. Among the extensively studied CRL3-based E3 ligases, the role of the adaptor protein SPOP (speckle type BTB/POZ protein) in tumorigenesis appears to be tissue or cellular context dependent. Specifically, SPOP acts as a tumor suppressor via destabilizing downstream oncoproteins in many malignancies, especially in prostate cancer. However, SPOP has largely an oncogenic role in kidney cancer. Keap1, another well-characterized CRL3 adaptor protein, likely serves as a tumor suppressor within diverse malignancies, mainly due to its specific turnover of its downstream oncogenic substrate, NRF2 (nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2). In accordance with the physiological role the various CRL3 adaptors exhibit, several pharmacological agents have been developed to disrupt its E3 ligase activity, therefore blocking its potential oncogenic activity to mitigate tumorigenesis.

Abstract
The association of the CYP2J2 G-50T polymorphism with coronary artery disease has been explored, but the results remain controversial. Thus, a meta-analysis was conducted to provide a comprehensive estimate of this association. We selected ten articles encompassing 12 independent case-control studies with 7063 cases and 10,453 controls for this meta-analysis. Overall, we found significant associations between the CYP2J2 G-50T polymorphism and coronary artery disease risk in three genetic models (allele model: odds ratio (OR) = 1.19, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.05–1.34; homozygote model: OR = 2.25, 95% CI = 1.27–4.01; recessive model: OR = 2.17, 95% CI = 1.22–3.86). In these three genetic models, a significant association was observed in Caucasians but not in Asians when the data were stratified by ethnicity. However, no significant associations were found between the CYP2J2 polymorphism G-50T and coronary artery disease risk in heterozygote model and dominant model. In conclusion, our meta-analysis suggested that the CYP2J2 G-50T polymorphism was associated with coronary artery disease risk in the allele, homozygote and recessive models in Caucasians.

The effect of MVK-MMAB variants, their haplotypes and G×E interactions on serum lipid levels and the risk of coronary heart disease and ischemic stroke. Oncotarget 2017; 8:72801-72817. [PMID: 29069827 PMCID: PMC5641170 DOI: 10.18632/oncotarget.20349] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2017] [Accepted: 07/04/2017] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Aim This study aimed to detect the association of the mevalonate kinase (MVK) and methylmalonic aciduria (cobalamin deficiency) cblB type (MMAB) gene variants, their haplotypes, and gene-environment (G×E) interactions on serum lipid levels and the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) and ischemic stroke (IS) in a Chinese Han population. Methods Genotyping of the rs3759387, rs7134594, rs877710 and rs9593 SNPs in 846 CHD and 869 IS patients and 847 healthy controls was performed by PCR-RFLP and Sanger sequencing. Logistic regression and factor regression were used to investigate the association of 4 MVK-MMAB SNPs and serum lipid levels and the risk of CHD and IS. Results The genotypic and allelic frequencies of the rs3759387 and rs7134594 SNPs differed between controls and patients (P < 0.0125-0.001). The rs3759387 SNP was associated with the risk of CHD and IS in different genetic models. The A-T-G-A and C-T-C-T haplotypes were associated with increased risk of CHD. The haplotype of A-T-G-A was associated with an increased risk of IS, whereas the C-T-G-A haplotype was associated with a decreased risk of IS. Interactions of C-T-C-T-smoking or C-T-C-T-age on the risk of CHD, and A-T-G-A-hypertension or A-T-G-A-age on the risk of IS were also observed. The subjects with the rs3759387AA genotype in controls had lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels than did the subjects with AC/CC genotypes. Several SNPs interacted with alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking to increase serum HDL-C and apolipoprotein A1 levels, but they interacted with body mass index ≥ 24 kg/m2 to decrease serum HDL-C and apolipoprotein A1 levels. Conclusion Several MVK-MMAB variants, especially the rs3759387 SNP, 4 main haplotypes, and G×E interactions were associated with serum lipid levels and the risk of CHD and IS in a Chinese Han population.

Abstract
Maonan ethnic group is a relatively conservative and isolated minority in China. Little is known about the association of the mevalonate kinase (MVK), methylmalonic aciduria (cobalamin deficiency) cblB type (MMAB) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and serum lipid levels. This study aimed to determine the association between four SNPs in the MVK/MMAB and serum lipid levels. Genotyping of the rs3759387, rs877710, rs7134594 and rs9593 SNPs was performed in 1264 Maonan subjects and 1251 Han participants. Allele and genotype frequencies of the selected SNPs were different between the two populations (P < 0.05-0.001). Four SNPs were associated with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in the both ethnic groups (P < 0.0125-0.001); and one SNP with apolipoprotein (Apo) A1 (rs7134594) in Han Chinese (P <0.0125). Strong linkage disequilibria were noted among the SNPs (D'=0.63-0.96; r2 =0.13-0.88). The commonest haplotype was C-C-C-T (> 50%). The frequencies of C-C-C-T, C-G-T-A, A-G-T-A, C-G-C-T, and A-C-T-A were different between the two populations (P <0.001). The associations between haplotypes and dyslipidemia were different in the Han and/or Maonan population (P < 0.05-0.001), haplotypes could explain much more serum lipid variation than any single SNP alone especially for HDL-C. Differences in lipid profiles between the two populations might partially attribute to these SNPs and their haplotypes.
