Gene-environment interactions in the associations of PFAS exposure with insulin sensitivity and beta-cell function in a Faroese cohort followed from birth to adulthood. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 226:115600. [PMID: 36868448 PMCID: PMC10101920 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.115600] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2022] [Revised: 02/26/2023] [Accepted: 02/28/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Exposure to perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) has been associated with changes in insulin sensitivity and pancreatic beta-cell function in humans. Genetic predisposition to diabetes may modify these associations; however, this hypothesis has not been yet studied. OBJECTIVES To evaluate genetic heterogeneity as a modifier in the PFAS association with insulin sensitivity and pancreatic beta-cell function, using a targeted gene-environment (GxE) approach. METHODS We studied 85 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with type 2 diabetes, in 665 Faroese adults born in 1986-1987. Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) were measured in cord whole blood at birth and in participants' serum from age 28 years. We calculated the Matsuda-insulin sensitivity index (ISI) and the insulinogenic index (IGI) based on a 2 h-oral glucose tolerance test performed at age 28. Effect modification was evaluated in linear regression models adjusted for cross-product terms (PFAS*SNP) and important covariates. RESULTS Prenatal and adult PFOS exposures were significantly associated with decreased insulin sensitivity and increased beta-cell function. PFOA associations were in the same direction but attenuated compared to PFOS. A total of 58 SNPs were associated with at least one PFAS exposure variable and/or Matsuda-ISI or IGI in the Faroese population and were subsequently tested as modifiers in the PFAS-clinical outcome associations. Eighteen SNPs showed interaction p-values (PGxE) < 0.05 in at least one PFAS-clinical outcome association, five of which passed False Discovery Rate (FDR) correction (PGxE-FDR<0.20). SNPs for which we found stronger evidence for GxE interactions included ABCA1 rs3890182, FTO rs9939609, FTO rs3751812, PPARG rs170036314 and SLC12A3 rs2289116 and were more clearly shown to modify the PFAS associations with insulin sensitivity, rather than with beta-cell function. DISCUSSION Findings from this study suggest that PFAS-associated changes in insulin sensitivity could vary between individuals as a result of genetic predisposition and warrant replication in independent larger populations.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is etiologically classified into type 1, type 2 and other types of diabetes. Despite distinct etiologies and pathogenesis of these subtypes, many studies have suggested the presence of shared susceptibilities and underlying mechanisms in β-cell failure among different types of diabetes. Understanding these susceptibilities and mechanisms can help in the development of therapeutic strategies regardless of the diabetes subtype. In this review, we discuss recent evidence indicating the shared genetic susceptibilities and common molecular mechanisms between type 1, type 2 and other types of diabetes, and highlight the future prospects as well.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDS & AIMS New-onset diabetes mellitus (NODM) is a common complication after liver transplantation (LT). The small ubiquitin-like modifier 4 (SUMO4) rs237025 polymorphism has been reported to be associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In this study, we aimed to evaluate the association of donor and recipient SUMO4 rs237025 polymorphisms with NODM and the long-term consequences of NODM after LT. METHODS A total of 126 liver transplant patients were enrolled in the study. One single nucleotide polymorphism, SUMO4 rs237025, was genotyped in both donors and recipients. RESULTS Both donor and recipient SUMO4 rs237025 polymorphisms were found to be significantly associated with NODM after LT. In multivariate analysis, recipient age>50 years, tacrolimus trough concentrations>10ng/mL at 1month after LT, donor and recipient rs237025 genetic variant, and the combined donor and recipient rs237025 genetic variant were independent predictive factors of NODM. Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) analysis indicated the higher predictive ability of the model containing combined donor and recipient rs237025 polymorphisms than the clinical model (p=0.046). Furthermore, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis demonstrated that NODM was related to significantly poorer patient survival in comparison with non-NODM patients (p=0.041). CONCLUSIONS Both donor and recipient SUMO4 rs237025 polymorphisms contribute to the development of NODM after LT and NODM is a frequent complication that negatively affects patient survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many studies suggest that the small ubiquitin-like modifier 4 (SUMO4) M55V gene polymorphism (rs237025) may be associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, due to other conflicting results, a clear consensus is lacking in the matter. OBJECTIVE AND METHODS A meta-analysis consisting of 6,823 subjects from 10 studies was conducted to elucidate relationship between the SUMO4 M55V gene polymorphism and T2DM. Depending on the heterogeneity of the data, either a fixed or random-effects model would be used to assess the combined odds ratio (ORs) and their corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI). RESULTS SUMO4 gene M55V polymorphism was significantly associated with T2DM in the whole population under allelic (OR: 1.18, 95% CI: 1.10-1.28, P = 1.63 × 10-5), recessive (OR: 1.59, 95% CI: 1.14-2.23, P = 0.006), dominant (OR: 0.815, 95% CI: 0.737-0.901, P = 6.89 × 10-5), homozygous (OR: 1.415, 95% CI: 1.170-1.710, P = 0.0003), heterozygous (OR: 1.191, 95% CI: 1.072-1.323, P = 0.001), and additive genetic models (OR: 1.184, 95% CI: 1.097-1.279, P = 1.63 × 10-5). In our subgroup analysis, a significant association was found again in the Chinese population, but not in Japanese or Iranian population. CONCLUSION SUMO4 gene M55V polymorphism may correlate with increased T2DM risk. Chinese carriers of the V allele of the SUMO4 gene M55V polymorphism may be predisposed to developing T2DM.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION: We studied the impact of small ubiquitin-like modifier 4 (SUMO4) M55V polymorphism on susceptibility to diabetic nephropathy in Iranian type 2 diabetes patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The patient group consisted of 50 Iranian type 2 diabetes patients with nephropathy, and the control group consisted of 50 Iranian type 2 diabetes patients without nephropathy. Genotyping was performed using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method for the M55V. RESULTS: The frequency of SUMO4 AA, AG, and GG genotypes were 23%, 18%, and 9% in the patient group and 10%, 22%, and 18% in the control group. There was no significant difference in frequency of SUMO4 genotypes in patients compared to controls. CONCLUSION: These findings indicate that SUMO4 M55V polymorphism is not associated with diabetic nephropathy in Iranian type 2 diabetes patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between small ubiquitin-like modifier 4 (SUMO4) gene polymorphism and type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) or type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been investigated in several studies. We conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the association of SUMO4 gene polymorphism with T1DM and T2DM susceptibility. METHODS A meta-analysis was performed on the published studies before August 2011. The association of SUMO4 M55V polymorphism with T1DM and T2DM was evaluated. Meta-analysis was performed for genotypes AA versus GG, AA versus AG, AA versus AG + GG and A allele versus G allele in a fixed/random effect model. The combined odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was calculated to estimate the strength of the association. RESULTS Sixteen case-control studies including 9190 cases and 10 456 healthy controls were included. T1DM patients were divided into Asian and Caucasian subgroup. We detected a significant association of SUMO4 M55V polymorphism with T1DM in Asian population (A versus G: OR = 0.79, 95%CI = 0.72-0.86, p = 0.000) and a significant association of SUMO4 M55V polymorphism with T1DM in Caucasian population (A versus G: OR = 0.84, 95%CI = 0.73-0.97, p = 0.007). Included T2DM patients were all Asian. Meanwhile, a significant association of SUMO4 M55V polymorphism with T2DM was also found (A versus G: OR = 0.86, 95%CI = 0.79-0.94, p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrates significant associations of SUMO4 M55V polymorphism with T1DM in Asian and Caucasian population and with T2DM in Asian population.

Abstract
This study investigated the association between small ubiquitin-like modifier 4 (SUMO4) gene polymorphisms and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Chinese Han of Beijing area. Using the case-control method, we included 404 T2DM patients in T2DM group and 500 age- and gender- matched healthy subjects in control group. We detected the distribution of alleles and genotypes of the three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs, rs237025, rs237024 and rs600739) with the polymerase chain reaction-high resolution melting curve (PCR-HRM) combined with gene sequencing, analysed the differences of glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) among different genotypes carriers in T2DM group, and conducted a haplotype analysis. In this study, the results showed that the frequency of the G allele of rs237025 was significantly higher in T2DM group than that of control group (0.334 vs. 0.282, P = 0.017). Compared with control group, the GA genotype carriers of T2DM patients had 1.563 times more susceptibility to T2DM [P =0.001; odds ratio (OR), 1.563; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.189-2.053]. Meanwhile, the G allele carriers (GG+GA) of T2DM patients had 1.525 times more susceptibility to T2DM in the dominant model (GG+GA vs. AA, P = 0.002; OR,1.525; 95% CI,1.169-1.989). However, as for rs237024 and rs600739, no significant differences were found in the distribution of the genotypes and alleles between two groups (P >0.05).Although our study didn't observe any statistically significant results, we found that T2DM patients with GG and GA genotypes of rs237025, TT genotype of rs237024 and GG genotype of rs600739 had a higher level of HbA1c than counterparts in control group. In addition, the AAC, AGC and GGT haplotypes might contribute to susceptibility to T2DM (OR>1) , while the AAT and GAC haplotypes might be considered as protective factors against T2DM (OR<1). The results suggested that rs237025 polymorphisms was associated with susceptibility to T2DM, but rs237024 and rs600739 were not.

Abstract
SUMO4 Met55Val variation was shown to be related to type 2 diabetes susceptibility and the vascular complications in Asian people. To further examine the related mechanisms, this study was designed to evaluate the association of SUMO4 Met55Val polymorphism with insulin resistance and β cell function in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients in a Chinese population. Four hundred and twenty seven newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients were selected for SUMO4 Met55Val polymorphism genotype analysis. All subjects underwent a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) to estimate the insulin sensitivity and β cell function. Anthropometrics and a metabolic profile were used for phenotyping analysis. The results showed that the SUMO4 Met55Val polymorphism was associated with higher insulin resistance (P<0.001) and lower insulin sensitivity (P<0.001). Patients with GG genotype had higher levels of plasma glucose, insulin and C peptide. Insulin sensitivity index (ISI) was closely correlated with body mass index (BMI) in patients with GG genotype in comparison to the counterparts with AG or AA genotype (r= -0.504 vs. r= -0.430 vs. r= -0.340). Multiple regression linear analysis showed that SUMO4 Met55Val polymorphism was an independent determinant for insulin sensitivity (P=0.001), which, along with triglyceride, BMI and sex, could account for 20.1% of the variation in ISI. The result remained the same after adjusting for BMI and sex. No association was found between SUMO4 Met55Val polymorphism and β cell function (all P>0.05). It was concluded that SUMO4 Met55Val variant was associated with increased insulin resistance in Chinese patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Diabetes mellitus incidence has an increasing rate and it's genetic aspect is an important approach as a risk factor and predictive value in this disorder. In some population, SUMO4, a regulator of NF-κB, gene polymorphism is associated with diabetes. A single-nucleotide polymorphism was detected in SUMO4; substituting a highly conserved methionine with a valine residue (M55V). We studied the association between M55V polymorphism in the SUMO4 gene insusceptibility of type 2 diabetes in patients with type 2 diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Participants were 50 patients with type 2 diabetes and 50 control Iranian subjects. Genotyping was done using polymorphism chain reaction (PCR) technique and subsequent cleavage by restriction endonuclease (RFLP) for the M55V SUMO4 gene variant. RESULTS The frequency of SUMO4 AA, AG and GG were 13%, 25% and 12% in control group and 20%, 22%, 18% in the type 2 diabetes patients respectively. The SUMO4 M55V variant was not associated with the susceptibility of type 2 diabetes. CONCLUSION The study indicates that the SUMO4 gene M55V variant was not associated with the susceptibility of the type 2 diabetes polymorphism.

Abstract
AIM The development of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been recognized to be associated with a combination of pancreatic beta-cell dysfunction and insulin resistance. Nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) has been recognized as one central mediator in the reaction of inflammation and proapoptotic event in beta-cells. A functional polymorphism at the codon 55 (methionine to valine; A163G) of the small ubiquitin- like modifier-4 (SUMO4) gene may result in higher NF-kappaB activity. This study investigates whether this SUMO4 Met55Val polymorphism also contributes to the development of T2DM. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was performed using genomic DNA samples from 574 Type 2 diabetic patients and 323 healthy controls. The SUMO4 Met55Val polymorphism was genotyped using allele-specific real-time PCR. RESULTS The frequency of the G allele (encoding Val55) was significantly higher in Type 2 diabetic patients and Type 2 diabetic patients with the GG genotype had higher hemoglobin A1c level. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed the genotype of GG and GA was an independent risk factor contributing to the development of T2DM. CONCLUSION This study suggests that in Taiwan the SUMO4 Met 55Val polymorphism is associated with susceptibility to T2DM and Type 2 diabetic patients with GG genotype have worse glycemic control.

Abstract
Previous studies suggested that the SUMO4 gene, located in the IDDM5 interval on chromosome 6q25, was associated with type I diabetes (T1D) and several other autoimmune diseases. Subsequent analyses of the SUMO4 variants with T1D suggested that the association was stronger and more consistent in the Asian populations. In addition, considerable heterogeneity has been observed in the Caucasian populations. In this report, a 40-kb genomic interval including the SUMO4 gene was tagged with 15 single-nucleotide polymorphisms. A total of 2317 affected sib-pair families from the Type I Diabetes Genetic Consortium were genotyped using both the Illumina and Sequenom genotyping platforms. In these Caucasian families, we found little evidence supporting an association between SUMO4 and T1D.

Expression-based network biology identifies alteration in key regulatory pathways of type 2 diabetes and associated risk/complications. PLoS One 2009; 4:e8100. [PMID: 19997558 PMCID: PMC2785475 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0008100] [Citation(s) in RCA: 54] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2009] [Accepted: 10/06/2009] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) is a multifactorial and genetically heterogeneous disease which leads to impaired glucose homeostasis and insulin resistance. The advanced form of disease causes acute cardiovascular, renal, neurological and microvascular complications. Thus there is a constant need to discover new and efficient treatment against the disease by seeking to uncover various novel alternate signalling mechanisms that can lead to diabetes and its associated complications. The present study allows detection of molecular targets by unravelling their role in altered biological pathways during diabetes and its associated risk factors and complications. We have used an integrated functional networks concept by merging co-expression network and interaction network to detect the transcriptionally altered pathways and regulations involved in the disease. Our analysis reports four novel significant networks which could lead to the development of diabetes and other associated dysfunctions. (a) The first network illustrates the up regulation of TGFBRII facilitating oxidative stress and causing the expression of early transcription genes via MAPK pathway leading to cardiovascular and kidney related complications. (b) The second network demonstrates novel interactions between GAPDH and inflammatory and proliferation candidate genes i.e., SUMO4 and EGFR indicating a new link between obesity and diabetes. (c) The third network portrays unique interactions PTPN1 with EGFR and CAV1 which could lead to an impaired vascular function in diabetic nephropathy condition. (d) Lastly, from our fourth network we have inferred that the interaction of β-catenin with CDH5 and TGFBR1 through Smad molecules could contribute to endothelial dysfunction. A probability of emergence of kidney complication might be suggested in T2D condition. An experimental investigation on this aspect may further provide more decisive observation in drug target identification and better understanding of the pathophysiology of T2D and its complications.

SUMO4 Met55Val polymorphism is associated with coronary heart disease in Japanese type 2 diabetes individuals. Diabetes Res Clin Pract 2009; 85:85-9.

Abstract
The Met55Val polymorphism in the small ubiquitin-like modifier 4 (SUMO4) gene has been associated with susceptibility not only to type 1 diabetes, but also to type 2 diabetes and diabetic nephropathy. We tried to confirm the association with susceptibility to type 2 diabetes and to investigate its role in diabetic vascular complications. The polymorphism was genotyped in two independent Japanese samples (Wakayama and Tokyo) by the TaqMan method. Susceptibility to type 2 diabetes and prevalence of diabetic vascular complications (coronary heart disease, cerebral infarction, retinopathy, and nephropathy) were evaluated by case-control study and multivariate logistic regression analysis, respectively. There were no significant differences in the frequency of alleles or genotypes between patients and controls. The Val allele, however, was associated with higher prevalence of coronary heart disease in patients in both groups (Wakayama, n=423, odds ratio, 1.64; 95% confidence interval, 1.02-2.64; P=0.041; Tokyo, n=451, odds ratio, 1.58; 95% CI, 1.07-2.34; P=0.021, in an additive model, respectively). No significant associations were observed with other diabetic vascular complications. Although association of the polymorphism with susceptibility to type 2 diabetes or nephropathy was not replicated, an association of the polymorphism with risk of coronary heart disease in type 2 diabetes is suggested.

Evaluation of a SNP map of 6q24-27 confirms diabetic nephropathy loci and identifies novel associations in type 2 diabetes patients with nephropathy from an African-American population. Hum Genet 2008; 124:63-71.

Abstract
Previously, we performed a genome scan for type 2 diabetes (T2DM) using 638 African-American (AA) affected sibling pairs from 247 families; non-parametric linkage analysis suggested evidence of linkage at 6q24-27 (LOD 2.26). To comprehensively evaluate this region, we performed a two-stage association study by first constructing a SNP map of 754 SNPs selected from HapMap on the basis of linkage disequilibrium (LD) in 300 AAT2DM end-stage renal disease (ESRD) subjects, 311 AA controls, 43 European American controls and 45 Yoruba Nigerian samples (Set 1). Replication analyses were conducted in an independent population of 283 AA T2DM-ESRD subjects and 282 AA controls (Set 2). In addition, we adjusted for the impact of admixture on association results by using ancestry informative markers (AIMs). In Stage 1, 137 (18.2%) SNPs showed nominal evidence of association (P < 0.05) in one or more of tests of association: allelic (n = 33), dominant (n = 36), additive (n = 29), or recessive (n = 34) genotypic models, and 2- (n = 47) and 3-SNP (n = 43) haplotypic analyses. These SNPs were selected for follow-up genotyping. Stage 2 analyses confirmed association with a predicted 2-SNP "risk" haplotype in the PARK2 gene. Also, two intergenic SNPs showed consistent genotypic association with T2DM-ESRD: rs12197043 and rs4897081. Combined analysis of all subjects from both stages revealed nominal associations with 17 SNPs within genes, including suggestive associations in ESR1 and PARK2. This study confirms known diabetic nephropathy loci and identifies potentially novel susceptibility variants located within 6q24-27 in AA.

Abstract
Susceptibility to type 1 diabetes (T1D) is determined by interactions of multiple genes with unknown environmental factors. Despite the characterization of over 20 susceptibility regions for T1D, identification of specific genes in these regions is still a formidable challenge. In 2004, we first reported the cloning of a novel, small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) gene, SUMO4, in the IDDM5 interval on chromosome 6q25, and presented strong genetic and functional evidence suggesting that SUMO4 is a T1D susceptibility gene. Subsequent studies have consistently confirmed this association in multiple Asian populations despite controversial observations in Caucasians. In this review, we will update the genetic evidence supporting SUMO4 as a T1D susceptibility gene and discuss the possible explanations for the discrepant associations observed in Caucasians. We will then discuss the mechanisms through which SUMO4 contributes to the pathogenesis of T1D.

Abstract
SUMO4 M55V, located in IDDM5, has been a focus for debate because of its association to type I diabetes (TIDM) in Asians but not in Caucasians. The current study aims to test the significance of M55V association to TIDM in a large cohort of Swedish Caucasians, and to test whether M55V is associated in those carrying human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II molecules. A total of 673 TIDM patients and 535 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were included in the study. PCR-RFLP was performed to identify the genotype and allele variations. Our data suggest that SUMO4 M55V is not associated with susceptibility to TIDM by itself. When we stratified our patients and controls based on heterozygosity for HLA-DR3/DR4 and SUMO4 genotypes, we found that presence of SUMO4 GG increased further the relative risk conferred by HLA-DR3/DR4 to TIDM, whereas SUMO4 AA decreased the risk. From the current study, we conclude that SUMO4 M55V is associated with TIDM in association with high-risk HLA-DR3 and DR4, but not by itself.
