Abstract
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease characterized by the destruction of pancreatic β cells. We show here that the protein NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 1 (NLRP1) has a key role in the pathogenesis of mouse and human T1D. More specifically, downregulation of NLRP1 expression occurs during T helper 17 (Th17) differentiation, alongside greater expression of several molecules related to Th17 cell differentiation in a signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 (STAT3)-dependent pathway. These changes lead to a consequent increase in interleukin 17 (IL-17) production within the pancreas and higher incidence of diabetes in streptozotocin (STZ)-injected mice. Finally, in patients with T1D and a SNP (rs12150220) in NLRP1, there is a robust decrease in IL-17 levels in serum and in memory Th17 cells from peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Our results demonstrate that NLRP1 acts as a negative regulator of the Th17 cell polarization program, making it an interesting target for intervention during the early stages of T1D.

Abstract
Inflammasomes are a group of multimolecular intracellular complexes assembled around several innate immune proteins. Recognition of a diverse range of microbial, stress and damage signals by inflammasomes results in direct activation of caspase‐1, which subsequently induces the only known form of secretion of active interleukin‐1β and interleukin‐18. Although the importance of interleukin‐1β in the periodontium is not questioned, the impact of inflammasomes in periodontal disease and its potential for therapeutics in periodontology is still in its very early stages. Increasing evidence in preclinical models and human data strongly implicate the involvement of inflammasomes in a number of inflammatory, autoinflammatory and autoimmune disorders. Here we review: (a) the currently known inflammasome functions, (b) clinical/preclinical data supporting inflammasome involvement in the context of periodontal and comorbid diseases and (c) potential therapies targeting inflammasomes. To clarify further the inflammasome involvement in periodontitis, we present analyses of data from a large clinical study (n = 5809) that measured the gingival crevicular fluid‐interleukin‐1β and grouped the participants based on current periodontal disease classifications. We review data on 4910 European‐Americans that correlate 16 polymorphisms in the interleukin‐1B region with high gingival crevicular fluid‐interleukin‐1β levels. We show that inflammasome components are increased in diseased periodontal tissues and that the caspase‐1 inhibitor, VX‐765, inhibits ~50% of alveolar bone loss in experimental periodontitis. The literature review further supports that although patients clinically present with the same phenotype, the disease that develops probably has different underlying biological pathways. The current data indicate that inflammasomes have a role in periodontal disease pathogenesis. Understanding the contribution of different inflammasomes to disease development and distinct patient susceptibility will probably translate into improved, personalized therapies.

Curr Diabetes Rev 2020; 16:770-778. [PMID: 31544697 DOI: 10.2174/1573399815666190718144722] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/01/2019] [Revised: 06/08/2019] [Accepted: 06/25/2019] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is an autoimmune disease whose etiology involves genetic predisposition as well as environmental factors. Polymorphisms of some genes are among the most important genetic factors that influence autoimmunity. Gender is another important factor affecting autoimmunity. Females are more susceptible to autoimmune diseases which may be due to the effect of sex hormones on the immune system activity. The metabolic effects of estrogen are mediated through its receptor - alpha. The exact mechanism is not well understood. A number of polymorphisms have been reported in the Estrogen Receptor- alpha (ER-alpha) IVS1 397 T>C gene which may be involved in the pathogenesis of diabetes. OBJECTIVES To assess the influence of Estrogen Receptor- alpha gene [IVS1-397 T>C] polymorphism on vascular complications of type1 diabetes mellitus in pubertal females and on the glycemic control. METHODS This cross-sectional case-control study included 40 pubertal regularly menstruating girls less than 18 years with type 1 diabetes mellitus recruited from the Pediatric Diabetes Clinic, Children's Hospital, Ain-Shams University and 20 healthy age-and sex-matched controls. Estrogen receptor alpha genotypes were analyzed by Restriction Fragment Length PCR and correlated with both clinical and laboratory parameters in the studied cases. ER-alpha was chosen as it might play a role in diabetes pathogenesis. RESULTS The study revealed the TC genotype was the most prevalent genotype of the estrogen receptor. The TT genotype patients had a younger age of onset of T1DM. The prevalence of obesity was higher among TC and TT than in CC bearing patients. In addition, CC genotype patients had the least prevalence of microalbuminuria and had better glycemic control than other genotypes. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that Estrogen receptor- alpha gene may be affecting the age of onset of Type1 diabetes mellitus in pubertal girls as well as the glycemic control of these patients, where CC bearing girls had better glycemic control than other genotypes and less incidence of microalbuminuria.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the correlations and interactions between the polymorphisms of insulin resistance-related genes (ADIPOQ rs2241766), inflammation factors (TNF-α rs1800629, IL-6 rs1800795), obesity-related genes (GNB3 rs5443, ADRB rs1042714), and risk factors for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) such as diet structure in the development of GDM. MATERIALS AND METHODS This research was conducted among women who visited the third-affiliate hospital of Zhengzhou University for pregnancy checkups from 1 June 2014 to 30 December 2014. Based on the results of a 75-g glucose tolerance test (OGTT), 140 pregnant women with GDM were randomly selected as a part of the GDM group and140 healthy, pregnant women as part of the control group. Relevant clinical and laboratory data for the child and the mother including her pregnancy outcomes and the delivery mode were collected for the epidemiological survey. RESULTS The results showed that risk factors for GDM are advanced age, the hepatitis B virus, family history of diabetes, high body mass index before pregnancy, and weight gain of ≥10 kg before 24-week gestation. We found that diet structures were severely unbalanced. The polymorphisms rs2241766 and rs5443 were found to potentially be associated with GDM; moreover, a positive interaction was demonstrated between rs2241766 and age, and a negative interaction was demonstrated with weight gain of ≥10 kg before 24-week gestation. CONCLUSION Our findings demonstrate that both environmental risk factors and genetic background contribute to the development of GDM.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is defined by high levels of glucose in the blood. The collagen IV level is associated with conditions of hyperglycemia and insulin resistance. Collagen type IV α3 chain (COL4A3) is a structural protein of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP-9) is an enzyme that degrades the extracellular matrix and its activity is moderated by TIMP metallopeptidase inhibitor 1 (TIMP-1). The aim of the current study was to examine the association between genetic polymorphisms of COL4A3 (rs55703767), MMP-9 (rs17576) and TIMP-1 (rs6609533) in patients with T2D. This case-control study was performed on 120 Iranian patients with T2D and 120 healthy individuals. Genotypes were analyzed using the amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction technique. The findings demonstrated significant differences between genotypic and allelic distributions of COL4A3 (G/T) and MMP-9 (A/G) polymorphisms as follows: COL4A3 (G/T); TT vs. GG, odds ratio (OR)=0.235, 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.063-0.0802 (P=0.013) and T vs. G, OR=0.592, 95% CI=0.371-0.943 (P=0.026); MMP-9 (A/G); AG vs. GG, OR=2.429, 95% CI=1.232-4.820 (P=0.008) and A vs. G, OR=2.176, 95% CI=1.155-4.130 (P=0.013). No significant association was identified between TIMP-1 (A/G) polymorphism and T2D in females and males. Thus, the genotypic and allelic distributions of COL4A3 (G/T) and MMP-9 (A/G) polymorphisms were associated with T2D. In addition, no significant association was identified in the genotypic distribution of the TIMP-1 (A/G) gene in females and in males. Further studies in other ethnic groups are required to confirm these findings.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) has become the main cause of mortality worldwide. Lectin galactoside-binding soluble-2 (LGALS2) is involved in the cytokine lymphotoxin-α (LTA) cascade that may influence the progress of CAD. The aim of the present study was to assess the association between the LGALS2 3279C>T (rs7291467) polymorphism and CAD. A total of 562 cases and 572 controls were recruited to examine the association. A systematic meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the contribution of LGALS2 3279C>T polymorphism to the risk of CAD among 12,093 cases and 11,020 controls. There was no significant association found in the present case-control study. However, the meta-analysis showed that LGALS2 3279C>T played a protective role in CAD [P=0.008, odds ratio (OR), 0.90; 95% confidence interval (95% CI), 0.82-0.97] and particularly in the Asian population (P=0.006; OR, 0.82; 95% CI, 0.71-0.94). The present case-control study did not find a significant association between LGALS2 3279C>T and CAD in the Eastern Han Chinese population. However, the meta-analysis indicated that LGALS2 3279C>T played a protective role in CAD, suggesting an ethnic difference in the association of the locus with CAD.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder that affects ~2% of the global population aged ≥65 years. Grb10-interacting GYF protein-2 (GIGYF2) can influence the development of PD through the regulation of insulin-like growth factor-1. The aim of the present meta-analysis study was to establish the contribution of GIGYF2 polymorphisms to PD. The study was conducted based on nine eligible studies consisting of 7,246 PD patients and 7,544 healthy controls. The results indicated that the GIGYF2 C.3630A>G polymorphism increased the risk of PD by 37% [P=0.008; odds ratio (OR), 1.37; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.08-1.73] and that the GIGYF2 C.167G>A polymorphism was significantly associated with PD (P=0.003; OR, 3.67; 95% CI, 1.56-8.68). The meta-analyses of the other five GIGYF2 polymorphisms (C.1378C>A, C.1554G>A, C.2940A>G, C.1370C>A and C.3651G>A) did not reveal any significant associations. The present meta-analyses of the GIGYF2 genetic polymorphisms may provide a comprehensive overview of this PD candidate gene for future studies.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative movement d'isorder that affects ~2% of the population aged ≥65 years. NAD(P)H-quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) are two important factors in the generation of oxidative stress in PD. The aim of the present study was to assess the association of NQO1 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) polymorphisms with PD. A meta-analysis was performed that included data from 15 studies comprising 2,858 patients and 2,907 healthy controls. The results showed that TNF-1031 (rs1799964) was significantly associated with PD in the recessive [P=0.0005; odds ratio (OR), 3.19; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.66-6.13] and additive models (P=0.0006; OR, 3.15; 95% CI, 1.63-3.51). However, there was no significant association in NQO1 C609T (rs1800566) and TNF-308 (rs1800629) with PD. To the best of our knowledge, the present study is the first meta-analysis of NQO1 and TNF polymorphisms with PD demonstrating that TNF-1031 polymorphism may be a risk factor for PD under either the recessive or additive models. However, the meta-analyses did not support the involvement of NQO1 C609T and TNF-308 in the risk of PD.

Abstract
AIM The relationship between the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) A1298C polymorphism and the susceptibility of diabetes remains inclusive or controversial. For better understanding of the influence of MTHFR A1298C polymorphism on diabetes risk, we performed this meta-analysis. METHODS All related articles were identified through a search of PubMed, Embase, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM, Chinese), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Wangfang Database (Chinese). The relationship between the MTHFR A1298C polymorphism and diabetes susceptibility was conducted by odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS Total of six studies with 897 cases and 852 controls were included in our meta-analysis. Overall, the significance associated was found between MTHFR A1298C polymorphism and the susceptibility of diabetes under recessive model (CC vs. AC/AA OR=1.70, 95% CI=1.18-2.45, p=0.004). On the subgroup analysis according to ethnicity, the results indicated that MTHFR A1298C polymorphism has a significant association with diabetes in Asian population under dominant model (CC/AC vs. AA: OR=1.31, 95% CI=1.003-1.72, p=0.047). However, there was no association found between MTHFR A1298C polymorphism and diabetes susceptibility in Caucasians. CONCLUSIONS The results indicated that the MTHFR A1298C polymorphism is a dangerous factor for diabetes, especially for Asians.

Genetic polymorphism of apolipoprotein A5 gene and susceptibility to type 2 diabetes mellitus: a meta-analysis of 15,137 subjects. PLoS One 2014; 9:e89167. [PMID: 24586566 PMCID: PMC3929635 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0089167] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2013] [Accepted: 01/16/2014] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies have investigated whether the polymorphism in the apolipoprotein A5 (APOA5) is associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) risk. However, those studies have produced inconsistent results. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the APOA5 -1131T/C polymorphism (rs662799) confers significant susceptibility to T2DM using a meta-analysis. METHODS PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane database, CBMdisc, CNKI and Google Scholar were searched to get the genetic association studies. All statistical analyses were done with Stata 11.0. RESULTS A total of 19 studies included 4,767 T2DM cases and 10,370 controls (four studies involving 555 T2DM cases and 2958 controls were performed among Europeans and 15 studies involving 4212 T2DM cases and 7412 controls were performed among Asians) were combined showing significant association between the APOA5 -1131T/C polymorphism and T2DM risk (for C allele vs. T allele: OR = 1.28, 95% CI = 1.17-1.40, p<0.00001; for C/C vs. T/T: OR = 1.57, 95% CI = 1.35-1.83, p<0.00001; for C/C vs. T/C+T/T: OR = 1.36, 95% CI = 1.18-1.57, p<0.0001; for C/C+T/C vs. T/T: OR = 1.32, 95% CI = 1.16-1.51, p<0.0001). In the subgroup analysis by ethnicity, significant association was also found among Asians (for C allele vs. T allele: OR = 1.31, 95% CI = 1.22-1.40, p<0.00001; for C/C vs. T/T: OR = 1.61, 95% CI = 1.38-1.88, p<0.00001; for C/C vs. T/C+T/T: OR = 1.39, 95% CI = 1.20-1.61, p<0.0001; for C/C+T/C vs. T/T: OR = 1.42, 95% CI = 1.25-1.62, p<0.00001). However, no significant association was found between the APOA5 -1131T/C polymorphism and T2DM risk among Europeans. CONCLUSIONS The present meta-analysis suggests that the APOA5 -1131T/C polymorphism is associated with an increased T2DM risk in Asian population.

IVS1 -397T>C estrogen receptor α polymorphism is associated with low-grade systemic inflammatory response in type 1 diabetic girls. Mediators Inflamm 2014; 2014:839585. [PMID: 24523574 PMCID: PMC3910071 DOI: 10.1155/2014/839585] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2013] [Accepted: 12/05/2013] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE The study aimed to investigate the influence of estrogen receptor α (ER-α) genotypes on inflammatory response and development of microvascular complications in girls with type 1 diabetes. METHODS 152 young regularly menstruating girls with diagnosed type 1 diabetes and 84 young, healthy menstruating girls were recruited. ER-α genotyping was carried out by PCR. Serum concentrations of 17β-estradiol, as well as IL-6, TNF-α, VEGF, and IL-10, were measured. CD4(+)Foxp3(+) TH17 cells were isolated and analyzed by flow cytometry. RESULTS Type 1 diabetic girls carrying TT genotype were characterized by the lowest serum estradiol level and IL-10 and highest IL-6, TNF-α, and VEGF. The association between the level of certain cytokine and the genetic variant of estrogen receptor α polymorphism was analyzed. Frequencies of CD4(+)Foxp3(+) TH17 cells were also enhanced in TT bearing girls with type 1 diabetes and correlated with the level of analyzed cytokines. In addition, the correlation between serum estradiol level and cytokine concentrations was observed. CONCLUSIONS We propose that TT variant of estrogen receptor α polymorphism may be associated with enhanced inflammatory response, which in turn may lead to acceleration of diabetic retino- and nephropathy in girls with type 1 diabetes. This finding may help the physicians to predict the onset and progression of diabetic microvascular complications.
