[PMID: 38920661 PMCID: PMC11202080 DOI: 10.3390/cells13121032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2024] [Revised: 06/10/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Inflammasomes comprise a group of protein complexes with fundamental roles in the induction of inflammation. Upon sensing stress factors, their assembly induces the activation and release of the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-1β and -18 and a lytic type of cell death, termed pyroptosis. Recently, CARD8 has joined the group of inflammasome sensors. The carboxy-terminal part of CARD8, consisting of a function-to-find-domain (FIIND) and a caspase activation and recruitment domain (CARD), resembles that of NLR family pyrin domain containing 1 (NLRP1), which is recognized as the main inflammasome sensor in human keratinocytes. The interaction with dipeptidyl peptidases 8 and 9 (DPP8/9) represents an activation checkpoint for both sensors. CARD8 and NLRP1 are activated by viral protease activity targeting their amino-terminal region. However, CARD8 also has some unique features compared to the established inflammasome sensors. Activation of CARD8 occurs independently of the inflammasome adaptor protein apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC), leading mainly to pyroptosis rather than the activation and secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines. CARD8 was also shown to have anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic activity. It interacts with, and inhibits, several proteins involved in inflammation and cell death, such as the inflammasome sensor NLRP3, CARD-containing proteins caspase-1 and -9, nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain containing 2 (NOD2), or nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB). Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of CARD8, some of them occurring at high frequencies, are associated with various inflammatory diseases. The molecular mechanisms underlying the different pro- and anti-inflammatory activities of CARD8 are incompletely understood. Alternative splicing leads to the generation of multiple CARD8 protein isoforms. Although the functional properties of these isoforms are poorly characterized, there is evidence that suggests isoform-specific roles. The characterization of the functions of these isoforms, together with their cell- and disease-specific expression, might be the key to a better understanding of CARD8's different roles in inflammation and inflammatory diseases.

Bragina EY, Puzyrev VP. Genetic outline of the hermeneutics of the diseases connection phenomenon in human. Vavilovskii Zhurnal Genet Selektsii 2023; 27:7-17. [PMID: 36923482 PMCID: PMC10009484 DOI: 10.18699/vjgb-23-03] [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: 10/17/2022] [Revised: 12/25/2022] [Accepted: 12/26/2022] [Indexed: 03/11/2023] Open
Abstract
The structure of diseases in humans is heterogeneous, which is manifested by various combinations of diseases, including comorbidities associated with a common pathogenetic mechanism, as well as diseases that rarely manifest together. Recently, there has been a growing interest in studying the patterns of development of not individual diseases, but entire families associated with common pathogenetic mechanisms and common genes involved in their development. Studies of this problem make it possible to isolate an essential genetic component that controls the formation of disease conglomerates in a complex way through functionally interacting modules of individual genes in gene networks. An analytical review of studies on the problems of various aspects of the combination of diseases is the purpose of this study. The review uses the metaphor of a hermeneutic circle to understand the structure of regular relationships between diseases, and provides a conceptual framework related to the study of multiple diseases in an individual. The existing terminology is considered in relation to them, including multimorbidity, polypathies, comorbidity, conglomerates, families, "second diseases", syntropy and others. Here we summarize the key results that are extremely useful, primarily for describing the genetic architecture of diseases of a multifactorial nature. Summaries of the research problem of the disease connection phenomenon allow us to approach the systematization and natural classification of diseases. From practical healthcare perspective, the description of the disease connection phenomenon is crucial for expanding the clinician's interpretive horizon and moving beyond narrow, disease-specific therapeutic decisions.

Abstract
The body of scientific literature continues to grow annually. Over 1.5 million abstracts of biomedical publications were added to the PubMed database in 2021. Therefore, developing cognitive systems that provide a specialized search for information in scientific publications based on subject area ontology and modern artificial intelligence methods is urgently needed. We previously developed a web-based information retrieval system, ANDDigest, designed to search and analyze information in the PubMed database using a customized domain ontology. This paper presents an improved ANDDigest version that uses fine-tuned PubMedBERT classifiers to enhance the quality of short name recognition for molecular-genetics entities in PubMed abstracts on eight biological object types: cell components, diseases, side effects, genes, proteins, pathways, drugs, and metabolites. This approach increased average short name recognition accuracy by 13%.

Vavilovskii Zhurnal Genet Selektsii 2022; 25:855-863. [PMID: 35088020 PMCID: PMC8761574 DOI: 10.18699/vj21.099] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2021] [Revised: 07/07/2021] [Accepted: 07/07/2021] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Linkage disequilibrium (LD) of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of TLR4/AL160272.2 (rs1927914, rs1928298, rs7038716, rs7026297, rs7025144) was estimated in the Slavs of West Siberia. We further investigated an association of SNPs in TLR4/AL160272.2 (rs1927914, rs7038716, rs7025144), SERPINA1 (rs1980616), ATXN2/BRAP (rs11065987), IL2RB (rs2284033), NT5C2 (rs11191582), CARD8 (rs11669386), ANG/RNASE4 (rs1010461), and ABTB2/ САТ (rs2022318) genes with bronchial asthma (BA), arterial hypertension (AH) and their comorbidity. Then, the disease-associated SNPs were annotated in silico in relation to their potential regulatory functions. Strong LD was detected between rs1928298 and rs1927914, as well as rs7026297 and rs7038716 in the Slavs of West Siberia. It was found that the rs1927914 G allele of the TLR4 gene and the rs1980616 C allele of the SERPINA1 gene are associated with the predisposition to BA. These SNPs can affect binding affinity of transcription factors of the Pou and Klf4 families, as well as the expression levels of the TLR4 and SERPINA1 genes. The rs11065987 allele A of the ATXN2/BRAP genes, the rs11669386 A allele of the CARD8 gene, the rs2284033 allele G of the IL2RB gene, and the rs11191582 allele G of the NT5C2 gene were associated with the risk of AH. These variants can alter binding affinity of the Hoxa9, Irf, RORalpha1 and HMG-IY transcription factors, as well as the expression levels of the ALDH2, CARD8, NT5C2, ARL3, and SFXN2 genes in blood cells/vessels/heart, respectively. The risk of developing a comorbid phenotype of AD and AH is associated with the A allele of rs7038716 and the T allele of rs7025144 of the TLR4/AL160272.2 genes, the A allele of rs1010461 of the ANG gene and the C allele of rs2022318 of the ABTB2/CAT genes. Variants rs7038716 and rs7025144 can change the expression levels of the TLR4 gene in blood cells, while rs1010461 and rs2022318 influence the expression levels of the ANG and RNASE4 genes as well as the CAT and ABTB2 genes in blood cells, lungs/vessels/heart.

Abstract
Background A few studies have reported the association between asthma and osteoporosis. We aimed to analyze the association of asthma and its subgroups with osteoporosis in the Korean adult population. Methods We used the health examinee (HEXA) data from the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study (KoGES) obtained between 2004 and 2016. We included 162,579 participants (n = 3,160 with asthma; n = 159,419 controls) who reported their previous histories of asthma and osteoporosis. The participants were categorized into 3 groups based on asthma management: participants who did not need further treatment due to controlled symptoms (well controlled); participants with ongoing treatment (being treated); participants who were not treated even though they had symptoms (not being treated). Multiple logistic regression analyses were used to calculate the adjusted odds ratios (aORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for osteoporosis. Subgroup analyses for age and sex were conducted. Results The prevalence of osteoporosis was higher in patients with asthma (13.6%) than in controls (6.8%). In the full-adjusted model, the aORs for osteoporosis were 1.74 (95% CI 1.55-1.94, P < 0.001) in patients with asthma compared to controls. There were consistent findings across the age and sex subgroups. The aORs for osteoporosis were 1.43 (95% CI 1.10-1.86, P = 0.008) in the well-controlled asthma group; 1.55 (95% CI 1.28-1.89, P < 0.001) in the being treated asthma group; and 1.96 (95% CI 1.66-2.31, P < 0.001) in the not being treated asthma group compared to the control group. Conclusion Asthma was associated with osteoporosis in the Korean adult population. Patients with asthma not being treated showed the highest ORs for osteoporosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND several studies report an increased risk for asthmatic subjects to develop arterial hypertension and the relationship between these two diseases, frequently co-existing, still has some unclear aspects. METHODS The BADA (blood pressure levels, clinical features and markers of subclinical cardiovascular damage of asthma patients) study is aimed to evaluate the prevalence of the cardiovascular comorbidities of asthma and their impact on the clinical outcome. The main exclusion criteria were the presence of other respiratory diseases, current smoking, any contraindication to ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM). RESULTS The overall percentage of asthmatics having also hypertension was 75% (30 patients) vs. 45% (18 patients) of the control group (p: 0.012). Reduced level of FEV1 (but not inhaled steroid therapy) was associated to newly-diagnosed hypertension (p: 0.0002), higher day SBP levels (p: 0.003), higher day DBP levels (p: 0.03), higher 24 h-SBP levels (p: 0.005) and higher 24h-DBP levels (p: 0.03). The regression analysis performed taking into account sex, age, diabetes, fasting glucose, and body mass index confirms the independent role played by asthma: odds ratio (OR): 3.66 (CI: 1.29-11.1). CONCLUSIONS hypertension is highly prevalent in asthma; the use of ABPM has allowed the detection of a considerable number of unrecognized hypertensives.

Abstract
Asthma is one of the most common childhood chronic diseases worldwide. Subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) is commonly used in the treatment of house dust mite (HDM)‑related asthma in children. However, the therapeutic mechanism of SCIT in asthma remains unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the molecular biomarkers associated with HDM‑related asthma in asthmatic children prior and subsequent to SCIT treatment compared with those in healthy children via proteomic analysis. The study included a control group (30 healthy children), ‑Treatment group (30 children with HDM‑related allergic asthma) and +Treatment group (30 children with HDM‑related allergic asthma treated with SCIT). An isobaric labeling with relative and absolute quantification‑based method was used to analyze serum proteome changes to detect differentially expressed proteins, while functional enrichment and protein‑protein interaction network analysis were used to select candidate biomarkers. A total of 72 differentially expressed proteins were detected in the ‑Treatment, +Treatment and control groups. A total of 33 and 57 differentially expressed proteins were observed in the ‑Treatment vs. control and +Treatment vs. control groups, respectively. Through bioinformatics analysis, 5 candidate proteins [keratin 1 (KRT1), apolipoprotein B (APOB), fibronectin 1, antithrombin III (SERPINC1) and α‑1‑antitrypsin (SERPINA1)] were selected for validation by western blotting; among them, 4 proteins (KRT1, APOB, SERPINC1 and SERPINA1) showed robust reproducibility in asthma and control samples. This study illustrated the changes in proteome regulation following SCIT treatment for asthma. The 4 identified proteins may serve as potential biomarkers prior and subsequent to SCIT treatment, and help elucidate the molecular regulation mechanisms of SCIT to treat HDM‑related asthma.

Abstract
The role of sodium in hypertension remains unresolved. Although genetic factors have a significant impact on high blood pressure, studies comparing genetic susceptibility between people with low and high sodium diets are lacking. We aimed to investigate the genetic variations related to hypertension according to sodium intake habits in a large Korean population-based study. Data for a total of 57,363 participants in the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study Health Examination were analyzed. Sodium intake was measured by a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. We classified participants according to sodium intake being less than or greater than 2 g/day. We used logistic regression to test single-marker variants for genetic association with a diagnosis of hypertension, adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, exercise, alcohol, smoking, potassium intake, principal components 1, and principal components 2. Significant associations were defined as p < 5 × 10-8. In participants whose sodium intake was greater than 2 g/day, chromosome 6 open reading frame 10 (C6orf10)-human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DQB1 rs6913309, ring finger protein (RNF)213 rs112735431, glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchored molecule-like (GML)- cytochrome P450 family 11 subfamily B member 1(CYP11B1) rs3819496, myosin light chain 2 (MYL2)-cut like homeobox 2 (CUX2) rs12229654, and jagged1 (JAG1) rs1887320 were significantly associated with hypertension. In participants whose intake was less than 2 g/day, echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like 6(EML6) rs67617923 was significantly associated with hypertension. Genetic susceptibility associated with hypertension differed according to sodium intake. Identifying gene variants that contribute to the dependence of hypertension on sodium intake status could make possible more individualized nutritional recommendations for preventing cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Asthma and hypertension are complex diseases coinciding more frequently than expected by chance. Unraveling the mechanisms of comorbidity of asthma and hypertension is necessary for choosing the most appropriate treatment plan for patients with this comorbidity. Since both diseases have a strong genetic component in this article we aimed to find and study genes simultaneously associated with asthma and hypertension. We identified 330 shared genes and found that they form six modules on the interaction network. A strong overlap between genes associated with asthma and hypertension was found on the level of eQTL regulated genes and between targets of drugs relevant for asthma and hypertension. This suggests that the phenomenon of comorbidity of asthma and hypertension may be explained by altered genetic regulation or result from drug side effects. In this work we also demonstrate that not only drug indications but also contraindications provide an important source of molecular evidence helpful to uncover disease mechanisms. These findings give a clue to the possible mechanisms of comorbidity and highlight the direction for future research.
