THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 946:173935. [PMID: 38880145 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.173935] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2024] [Revised: 05/28/2024] [Accepted: 06/09/2024] [Indexed: 06/18/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Air pollutants are important exogenous stimulants to eye diseases, but knowledge of associations between long-term exposure to air pollutants and the risk of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is limited. This study aimed to determine whether long-term exposure to air pollutants, genetic susceptibility, and their joint effects lead to an elevated risk of incident POAG. METHODS This is a population-based prospective cohort study from UK Biobank participants with complete measures of air pollution exposure and polygenetic risk scores. Cox proportional hazard models were fitted to assess the individual and joint effects of long-term exposure to air pollutants and genetics on the risk of POAG. In addition, the effect modification of genetic susceptibility was examined on an additive or multiplicative scale. RESULTS Among 434,290 participants with a mean (SD) age of 56.5 (8.1) years, 6651 (1.53 %) were diagnosed with POAG during a median follow-up of 13.7 years. Long-term exposure to air pollutants was associated with an increased risk of POAG. The hazard ratios associated with per interquartile range increase in PM2.5, PM2.5 absorbance, PM10, NO2, and NOX individually ranged from 1.027 (95 % CI: 1.001-1.054) to 1.067 (95 % CI: 1.035-1.099). Compared with individuals residing in low-pollution areas and having low polygenic risk scores, the risk of incident POAG increased by 105.5 % (95 % CI: 78.3 %-136.9 %), 79.7 % (95 % CI: 56.5 %-106.5 %), 103.2 % (95 % CI: 76.9 %-133.4 %), 89.4 % (95 % CI: 63.9 %-118.9 %), and 90.2 % (95 % CI: 64.8 %-119.5 %) among those simultaneously exposed to high air pollutants levels and high genetic risk, respectively. Genetic susceptibility interacted with PM2.5 absorbance and NO2 in an additive manner, while no evidence of multiplicative interaction was found in this study. Stratification analyses revealed stronger effects in Black people and the elderly. CONCLUSION Long-term air pollutant exposure was associated with an increased risk of POAG incidence, particularly in the population with high genetic predisposition.

Abstract
The importance of Se in human health has received much attention due to its antioxidant properties when it is consumed at an appropriate level. However, the existing evidence is limited to obtain an effective conclusion for colorectal cancer (CRC). Notably, an adequate intake of Se was reported for Koreans. Furthermore, cytokine secretion and immune function may be affected by dietary Se. Our study aimed to explore whether Se potentially reduces CRC risk and whether the IL10 rs1800871 polymorphism has an effect on this association. We designed a case-control study with 1420 cases and 2840 controls. A semi-quantitative FFQ was used to obtain information on Se intake. We determined IL10 rs1800871 through genetic analysis. Different models were developed to explore Se intake related to CRC risk by calculating OR and 95 % CI using unconditional logistic regression. A reduced risk of CRC was found as Se intake increased, with an OR (95 % CI) of 0·44 (0·35, 0·55) (Pfor trend < 0·001). However, this association seems to be allele-specific and only present among risk variant allele carriers (GA/GG) with a significant interaction between dietary Se and IL10 rs1800871 (Pfor interaction = 0·043). We emphasised that a reduction in CRC risk is associated with appropriate Se intake. However, the IL10 rs1800871 polymorphism has an impact on this reduction, with a greater effect on variant allele carriers. These findings suggest the importance of considering an individual's genetic characteristics when developing nutritional strategies for CRC prevention.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a complex chronic illness with diverse pathogenesis and associations with health complications. Genetic factors significantly contribute to DM development, and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) genes play major roles. This study aims to explore the influence of TNF-α rs1800629 and IL-10 rs1800872 genetic variants on T2DM development in Jordanian patients at Jordan University Hospital. METHODS One-hundred and 60 diabetic and 159 non-diabetic subjects were genotyped for TNF-α rs1800629. Additionally, 181 diabetic and 191 non-diabetic subjects were genotyped for IL-10 rs1800872 using PCR-RFLP genotyping method. The demographic, lipid, and glycemic parameters of the patients were obtained from the computer records in the hospital. RESULTS TNF-α rs1800629 and IL-10 rs1800872 genetic variants exhibited significant different frequencies in non-T2DM subjects and T2DM patients. The difference in TNF-α rs1800629 genotype frequency between non-T2DM and T2DM participants was significant under the dominant model, while the IL-10 rs1800872 genotype frequency was significant under the recessive model. A significant association (p<0.05) was observed between TNF-α rs1800629 and total cholesterol levels, and between IL-10 rs1800872 polymorphism and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and creatinine levels among T2DM patients. CONCLUSIONS TNF-α rs1800629 and IL-10 rs1800872 are identified as genetic risk factors for T2DM. These variants also correlate with variations in cholesterol, HbA1c, and creatinine levels among T2DM patients. Larger clinical studies are warranted to validate these findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The study aimed to investigate the association of IL-6 and IL-10 polymorphisms with susceptibility to glaucoma by analyzing all relevant individual studies. MATERIALS AND METHODS Relevant articles were gathered from PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, WanFang, and CNKI databases up to 15 October 2023. Odds ratios (ORs) were used to evaluate the association strengths, along with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS Seven case-control studies involving 1408 cases and 1789 controls on the IL-6 -174 G>C polymorphism, and three studies with 675 cases and 1100 controls on the IL-6 -572 G>C were included. Moreover, three separate studies, each comprising 442 cases and 672 controls, investigated the IL-10 -592C>A, -819T>C, and -1082A>G polymorphisms. The combined data indicated a significant association between -592C>A, -819T>C, and -1082A>G at IL-10 gene and IL-6 -572 G>C with glaucoma susceptibility, with no correlation found for IL-6 -174 G>C. CONCLUSIONS The study found that IL-10 -592C>A, -819T>C, -1082A>G, and IL-6 -572 G>C polymorphisms were linked to glaucoma risk. However, no significant association was observed for IL-6 -174 G>C. These findings imply a possible connection between genetic variations in these genes and glaucoma risk. Further research is crucial to fully understand the underlying mechanisms and their significance in managing and preventing glaucoma.

Abstract
Glaucoma is a multifactorial neurodegenerative disease and the second leading cause of blindness. Detection of clinically relevant biomarkers would aid better diagnoses and monitoring during treatment. In glaucoma, the protein composition of aqueous humor (AH) is relevant for the discovery of biomarkers. This study analyzes AH protein concentrations of putative biomarkers in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) compared to a control group. Biomarkers were selected from known oxidative-stress and inflammatory pathways. Osteopontin (OPN), matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta), and interleukin-10 (IL-10) were measured using the ELISA technique. Thirty-two patients were recruited to the study, including sixteen control and sixteen glaucoma patients. The glaucoma group consisted of patients diagnosed with glaucoma. In both groups, the aqueous humor sample was obtained during cataract surgery. A significant increase in OPN, MMP-9, TNF-alpha, and IL-10 was observed in the POAG aqueous humor, compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Of note, the AH of POAG patients contained 5.6 ± 1.2-fold more OPN compared to that of control patients. Different expression profiles of oxidative stress-related and inflammatory biomarkers were observed between patients with POAG and controls. This confirms the reported involvement of inflammatory and oxidative stress pathways in POAG pathophysiology. In the future, several, targeted AH proteins may be used to generate a potential biomarker expression profile of this disease, aiding diagnoses and disease progression monitoring. This approach highlights the importance of biomarkers in the future. Biomarkers provide a way to measure disease progression and response to treatment. In the future, biomarkers will play a more critical role in the toolkit of ophthalmology healthcare professionals as the field moves towards personalized medicine and precision healthcare.

Abstract
Glaucoma is a multifactorial disease and a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Current data has demonstrated the approximate distribution of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) in patients of European, African, Hispanic, and Eastern Asian descent. However, a significant gap in the literature exists regarding the prevalence of POAG in Middle Eastern (ME) populations. Current studies estimate ME POAG prevalence based on a European model. Herein we screened 65 total publications on ME prevalence of POAG and specific risk factors using keywords: "glaucoma", "prevalence", "incidence", "risk factor", "Middle East", "Mideast", "Persian", "Far East", as well as searching by individual ME countries through PubMed, Embase, Ovid, Scopus, and Trip searches with additional reference list searches from relevant articles published up to and including March 1, 2021. Fifty qualifying records were included after 15 studies identified with low statistical power, confounding co-morbid ophthalmic diseases, and funding bias were excluded. Studies of ME glaucoma risk factors that identify chromosomes, familial trend, age/gender, socioeconomic status, lifestyle, intraocular pressure, vascular influences, optic disc hemorrhage, cup-to-disc ratio, blood pressure, obstructive sleep apnea, and diabetes mellitus were included in this systematic review. We conclude that the prevalence of POAG in the ME is likely higher than the prevalence rate that European models suggest, with ME specific risk factors likely playing a role. However, these findings are severely limited by the paucity of population-level data in the ME. Well-designed, longitudinal population-based studies with rigorous inclusion and exclusion criteria are ultimately needed to accurately assess the epidemiology and specific mechanistic risk factors of glaucoma in ME populations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the performance of serum cytokine IL-6 and IL-6/IL-10 ratio as biomarkers for the diagnosis of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and for determining its progression. METHODS In this study, 20 POAG patients and 21 healthy individuals from the Indonesian population were enrolled. The serum concentration of IL-6 and IL-10 were quantified. Comparative analysis was performed in addition to assessment of the diagnostic performance of cytokines using receiver-operating-curve (ROC) analysis. RESULTS POAG patients had a higher IL-6 (p < 0.0001) and IL-6/IL-10 ratio (p < 0.0001) than controls. Among the POAG subjects, advanced-stage patients exhibited a higher IL-6/IL-10 ratio than those in the early-moderate stage (p = 0.001; p = 0.006). The ROC curve analysis showed that both IL-6 level and IL-6/IL-10 ratio exhibited an excellent capability of diagnosing POAG (cut-off of 20.5 pg/mL (100% sensitivity and 94% specificity) and 4.4 (88% sensitivity and 94% specificity), respectively). Serum IL-6/IL-10 ratio displayed a better performance than IL-6 in discriminating POAG severity with cut-off of at least 6.6 (sensitivity of 86% and specificity of 90%) and 9.1 (sensitivity of 89% and specificity of 78%) classified according to C/D ratio and MD of VF, respectively. CONCLUSION The balance between IL-6 and IL-10 serum levels is potentially useful in discriminating POAG severity.

Abstract
Glaucoma, the world’s leading cause of irreversible blindness, is a complex disease, with differential presentation as well as ethnic and geographic disparities. The multifactorial nature of glaucoma complicates the study of genetics and genetic involvement in the disease process. This review synthesizes the current literature on glaucoma and genetics, as stratified by glaucoma subtype and ethnicity. Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is the most common cause of glaucoma worldwide, with the only treatable risk factor (RF) being the reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP). Genes associated with elevated IOP or POAG risk include: ABCA1, AFAP1, ARHGEF12, ATXN2, CAV1, CDKN2B-AS1, FOXC1, GAS7, GMDS, SIX1/SIX6, TMCO1, and TXNRD2. However, there are variations in RF and genetic factors based on ethnic and geographic differences; it is clear that unified molecular pathways accounting for POAG pathogenesis remain uncertain, although inflammation and senescence likely play an important role. There are similar ethnic and geographic complexities in primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG), but several genes have been associated with this disorder, including MMP9, HGF, HSP70, MFRP, and eNOS. In exfoliation glaucoma (XFG), genes implicated include LOXL1, CACNA1A, POMP, TMEM136, AGPAT1, RBMS3, and SEMA6A. Despite tremendous progress, major gaps remain in resolving the genetic architecture for the various glaucoma subtypes across ancestries. Large scale carefully designed studies are required to advance understanding of genetic loci as RF in glaucoma pathophysiology and to improve diagnosis and treatment options.

Abstract
Glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness, has multifactorial causes, including environmental and genetic factors. We evaluated genetic risk factors of glaucoma with gene-gene interaction and explored modifications of genetic risk with gene-lifestyles interaction in adults >40 years. The present study included 377 subjects with glaucoma and 47,820 subjects without glaucoma in a large-scale hospital-based cohort study from 2004 to 2013. The presence of glaucoma was evaluated by a diagnostic questionnaire evaluated by a doctor. The genome-wide association study was performed to identify genetic variants associated with glaucoma risk. Food intake was assessed using a semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire. We performed generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction analysis to construct polygenetic-risk score (PRS) and explored gene × nutrient interaction. PRS of the best model included LIM-domain binding protein-2 (LDB2) rs3763969, cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2B (CDKN2B) rs523096, ABO rs2073823, phosphodiesterase-3A (PDE3A) rs12314390, and cadherin 13 (CDH13) rs12449180. Glaucoma risk in the high-PRS group was 3.02 times that in the low-PRS group after adjusting for confounding variables. For those with low serum glucose levels (<126 mg/dL), but not for those with high serum glucose levels, glaucoma risk in the high-PRS group was 3.16 times that in the low-PRS group. In those with high carbohydrate intakes (≥70%), but not in those with low carbohydrate intakes, glaucoma risk was 3.74 times higher in the high-PRS group than in the low-PRS group. The glaucoma risk was 3.87 times higher in the high-PRS group than in the low-PRS group only in a low balanced diet intake. In conclusion, glaucoma risk increased by three-fold in adults with a high PRS, and it can be reduced by good control of serum glucose concentrations and blood pressure (BP) with a balanced diet intake. These results can be applied to precision nutrition to reduce glaucoma risk.

Abstract
Background The involvement of cytokines in pathogenesis of pseudoexfoliation syndrome and glaucoma has been demonstrated in several studies. The aim of the present study was to explore the association between three promoter polymorphisms −592C/A (rs1800872), − 819C/T (rs1800871) and -1082A/G (rs1800896) of interleukin 10 (IL-10) gene with susceptibility to pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX), pseudoexfoliative glaucoma (PEXG), and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). Methods In this study, 114 PEX, 118 PEXG, 114 POAG patients and 126 healthy individuals from Iranian population were participated. Detailed ophthalmic examinations by an ophthalmologist including slit-lamp bio-microscopic examination, dilated examination of the lens, gonioscopy, and funduscopy were carried out on patients and controls. Genomic DNA was extracted from the blood samples and ARMS–PCR was performed to detect promoter polymorphisms of IL-10. Results In all three SNPs studied, there was a significant difference in the genotype distribution between patients and control subjects. Results revealed that the AA genotype of IL-10 -592C/A SNP is associated with PEX. However, TT genotype of −819C/T and AA genotype of -1082A/G SNP are significantly associated with susceptibility to either PEX or PEXG and POAG disorders. Furthermore, the ACC haplotype containing the IL-10 -1082A allele was associated with PEX (P = 0.02, OR = 5.76, 95% CI = 5.17–24.49), PEXG (P = 0.006, OR = 7.54, 95% CI = 6.62–30.76) and POAG (P = 0.003, OR = 8.11, 95% CI = 7.13–33.15). Conclusions Our results demonstrated that IL-10 gene promoter polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility to PEX, PEXG and POAG in Iranian population. Considering the fact that IL-10 polymorphisms are associated with various IL-10 expressions, further research is needed to explain its involvement in these disorders and the formation of extracellular fibrillar amyloid deposits in PEX and PEXG.
