[PMID: 38771513 DOI: 10.1007/s00403-024-02905-5] [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: 10/31/2023] [Revised: 04/18/2024] [Accepted: 04/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/22/2024]
Abstract
Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is key to the metabolism of folic acid, with loss of function mutations resulting in elevated homocysteine levels, a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Psoriasis patients may demonstrate hyperhomocysteinemia. To assess for the association between psoriasis and MTHFR C677T and A1298C polymorphisms. A systematic literature search was conducted in MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane CENTRAL, and Web of Science. Case reports, case-control, cohort, and cross-sectional studies with full-text availability in English were considered. Meta-analysis was conducted with pooled ORs calculated via the random effects model (I2 > 50%). Of 917 records identified, 10 studies were selected for review of 1965 psoriasis patients and 2030 controls. Meta-analysis demonstrated that for MTHFR C677T, there were positive associations between psoriasis and the allele contrast model (C vs T, pooled OR = 1.69, 95% CI = 1.10-2.59), the additive model (CC vs TT, pooled OR = 2.44, 95% CI = 1.06-5.60), the dominant model (CC vs CT + TT, pooled OR = 1.77, 95% CI = 1.06-2.98), and the recessive model (CC + CT vs TT, pooled OR = 2.08, 95% CI = 1.05-4.13). For MTHFR A1298C, there were positive associations between psoriasis and the allele contrast model (A vs C, pooled OR = 3.57, 95% CI = 1.19-10.68), the dominant model (AA vs AC + CC, pooled OR = 4.44, 95% CI = 1.12-17.66), and the overdominant model (AC vs AA + CC, pooled OR = 0.26, 95% CI = 0.07-0.91). There may be a link between the C677T and A1298C polymorphisms with psoriasis diagnosis.

Association between Genetic Polymorphisms in Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase and Risk of Autoimmune Diseases: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. DISEASE MARKERS 2022; 2022:4568145. [PMID: 35686035 PMCID: PMC9173919 DOI: 10.1155/2022/4568145] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2022] [Revised: 04/30/2022] [Accepted: 05/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is a critical rate-limiting enzyme in the homocysteine/methionine metabolism pathway that is implicated in the pathogenesis and progression of autoimmune diseases. Previous association studies have been performed to investigate the effect of polymorphisms in MTHFR on the risk of autoimmune diseases with inconsistent results. Therefore, this meta-analysis was designed to assess the association between the MTHFR 677 C/T and 1298 A/C polymorphisms and the susceptibility to autoimmune diseases. We identified reports by a literature search in the following electronic databases: PubMed, Ovid, Web of science, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure. Statistical analyses of the summary odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were done using STATA software. In a recessive genetic model, the MTHFR 677 C/T polymorphism was associated with an increased risk of Behcet's disease (OR = 1.97, 95% CI, 1.31-2.97), multiple sclerosis (OR = 1.57, 95% CI, 1.03-2.38), and ankylosing spondylitis (OR = 2.90, 95% CI, 1.92-4.38). The MTHFR 1298 A/C polymorphism was associated an increased risk of multiple sclerosis in a heterozygote comparison (OR = 2.36, 95% CI, 1.29-4.30) and in a dominant model (OR = 2.31, 95% CI, 1.24-4.29). This meta-analysis demonstrated that the MTHFR 677 C/T was a risk factor for Behcet's disease, multiple sclerosis, and ankylosing spondylitis, and the 1298 A/C was a risk factor for multiple sclerosis.

MTHFR Gene Polymorphism Association With Psoriatic Arthritis Risk and the Efficacy and Hepatotoxicity of Methotrexate in Psoriasis. Front Med (Lausanne) 2022; 9:869912. [PMID: 35479943 PMCID: PMC9035632 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2022.869912] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2022] [Accepted: 03/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Aims To assess whether MTHFR rs1801131 and rs1801133 SNPs are associated with concomitant psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and investigate the efficacy and hepatotoxicity of MTX in patients with psoriasis in the Han Chinese population. Methods This prospective, single-arm, interventional study recruited a total of 309 patients with psoriasis, 163 with psoriatic arthritis and 146 without psoriatic arthritis, who completed a 12-week MTX treatment and 1,031 healthy controls. Patients' characteristics including age, gender, disease duration, height, weight, smoking status, alcohol consumption, medical history, disease severity and liver function test results were accessed and recorded. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping of rs1801131 and rs1801133 in the MTHFR gene was performed. Results The rs1801133 CC genotype was more frequent in patients with PsA than those with PsO and healthy controls (42.3% vs. 28.8% vs. 33.1%, p < 0.05). The 90% reduction from baseline PASI score (PASI 90) response rates to MTX were significantly higher in patients with the rs1801133 TT genotype than those with the CT and CC genotype (33.96% vs. 19.31% vs. 14.41%, OR = 2.76, p = 0.006). The rs1801133 CT+TT genotype was more frequent in PsA patients with abnormal liver function than in those with normal liver function (p < 0.05). In addition, patients with the rs1801131 CT genotype had lower PASI 75 response rates to MTX (OR = 0.49, p = 0.01), and lower risk of ALT elevation (OR = 0.46, p = 0.04). Conclusions This study provided some evidence for MTHFR polymorphism association with the risk of PsA and the efficacy and hepatotoxicity of the low-dose MTX in the Chinese population. Given the relatively small sample size and potentially missed diagnosis of PsA, the results from this study warrant further investigation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Psoriasis is considered as a risk factor for atherosclerosis and contributes to myocardial infarction, ischemic heart disease and brain stroke. AIM To estimate the atherogenic potential of psoriasis by analysing antioxidative and prooxidative factors (paraoxonase-1, α-tocopherol, uric acid, homocysteine), compare levels of these parameters between groups of psoriatic patients and healthy individuals as well as to analyse the impact of psoriasis severity and duration on the factors under the study and to define correlation between the marked factors and patients' lifestyles, body mass index (BMI) and abdominal circumference. MATERIAL AND METHODS The investigated group consisted of 66 patients with psoriasis vulgaris, while the control group comprised 30 persons. Both groups were comparable as regards their age, sex and BMI as well as abdominal circumference. RESULTS A significantly lower activity of paraoxonase-1 (p < 0.001), level of tocopherol (p < 0.05) and significantly higher concentration of homocysteine (p < 0.01), uric acid (p < 0.05) were found in patients with psoriasis as compared to the reference group. A higher homocysteine level occurs in patients with a negative family history of psoriasis (p < 0.05). In the group of patients with psoriasis and metabolic syndrome, the uric acid level was significantly higher (p < 0.05). Concentration of uric acid correlated negatively with the abdominal circumference value (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Psoriasis promotes arteriosclerosis development by decreasing the levels of antiatherogenic and increasing the levels of proatherogenic agents. Adverse changes in psoriatic patients involve activity of paraoxonase-1, levels of α-tocopherol, uric acid, homocysteine as compared to healthy individuals selected by their age, BMI and abdominal circumference value.

Biomark Insights 2019; 14:1177271919830973. [PMID: 30828245 PMCID: PMC6390219 DOI: 10.1177/1177271919830973] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2019] [Accepted: 01/20/2019] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) has been linked with
the etiopathogenesis of psoriasis with inconsistent results.
Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase C677T polymorphism was
evaluated in 106 Saudi psoriasis vulgaris patients and 280 matched healthy
controls using PCR-RFLP (restriction fragment length plymorphism) technique. The
cardiovascular risk factors were also compared in cases and controls. Allele T
and genotypes CT and TT were found to be increased while allele C and genotype
CC significantly decreased in psoriasis patients as compared with controls
(P < .001). These results showed that the T-allele and
T-containing genotypes (TT, CT) of MTHFR C677T are
significantly linked with psoriasis susceptibility while C-allele and CC
genotype are protective for it. Body mass index, fasting glucose, total
cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, triglycerides, and C-reactive protein,
known markers for cardiovascular diseases, were found to be significantly
elevated in the patient group as compared with the controls. It is concluded
that the MTHFR C677T polymorphism increases psoriasis risk in
Saudi patients.

Abstract
To investigate the association of MTHFR gene polymorphism and additional gene-gene interaction with psoriasis risk. GMDR model was used to screen the best gene-smoking and gene-drinking interaction combinations. Logistic regression was performed to investigate association between two SNPs and psoriasis. For psoriasis patient-control haplotype analyses, the SHEsis online haplotype analysis software ( http://analysis.bio-x.cn ) was employed. We found that carriers of homozygous mutant of rs1801133 polymorphism and heterozygous of rs1801131 are associated with increased psoriasis risk than those with wild-type homozygotes, OR (95%CI) were 2.01 (1.48-2.79), and 2.08 (1.56-2.86), respectively. We also found a significant gene-environment interaction between C677T and alcohol drinking. In all samples, the haplotype 1298A-677C was observed most frequently in two groups, with 49.43 and 55.71% for the patients and controls, respectively. The results also indicated that the haplotype containing 1298C and 677T alleles were associated with a statistically increased psoriasis risk, OR (95%CI) = 1.73 (1.12-2.46), P = 0.0002. Our study found that rs1801133, rs1801131 within MTHFR gene, and interaction between C677T and alcohol drinking and haplotype containing the 1298C and 677T alleles were all associated with increased psoriasis risk.

Abstract
Objective: Homocysteine is a sulfur-containing amino acid with potential clinical significance. Abnormal homocysteine levels have been found in patients with psoriasis. This review summarizes the possible correlations among homocysteine, cardiovascular risk, and DNA methylation in psoriasis. Data Sources: We retrieved the articles published in English from the PubMed database up to January 2017, using the keywords including “psoriasis,” “homocysteine,” “cardiovascular risk,” “DNA methylation,” “methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase,” “MTHFR,” and “MTHFR C677T.” Study Selection: Articles about the roles of homocysteine in the cardiovascular risk and DNA methylation in psoriasis were obtained and reviewed. Results: Observational studies consistently reported that elevated homocysteine is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Several studies also consistently reported an association between psoriasis and increased cardiovascular risk. A substantial body of evidence also suggested that an elevated homocysteine level is related to the demethylation of DNA. Data from clinical trials also demonstrated that MTHFR C677T polymorphisms as well as DNA methylation aberrations are associated with psoriasis. Conclusions: This review highlighted the relationships among homocysteine, cardiovascular risk, and DNA methylation, suggesting that homocysteine may be a biological link between cardiovascular risk and DNA methylation in psoriasis.
