[PMID: 38144286 PMCID: PMC10746491 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e23164] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2023] [Revised: 11/23/2023] [Accepted: 11/28/2023] [Indexed: 12/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4) is an immunosuppressive checkpoint that is involved in the development and metastasis of cancers. Several studies revealed that CTLA-4 rs231775A/G polymorphism may be associated with the risk of cancer in some populations, but the conclusions of these studies are not consistent. Methods We conducted a pooled analysis with eligible studies to explore the association between the CTLA-4 rs231775 variant and cancer risk. Additionally, we used in silico tools to evaluated the expression of CTLA-4 on urinary system cancer. Moreover, we adopted the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) to investigate the effects of CTLA-4 on bladder cancer (BLCA). Results In total, 92 case-control studies involving 29,987 patients with cancer and 36,484 healthy individuals (controls) were included in the pooled analysis. In the stratified analysis based on cancer type, the rs231775 A/G polymorphism was associated with increased bladder cancer risk in the heterozygote contrast model (OR = 1.23, 95% CI = 1.01-1.51, P = 0.040). The race-stratified analysis revealed that East Asians with the GG genotype had a 12% lower risk of developing cancer than those with the GA + AA genotype (95% CI = 0.81-0.95, P = 0.001). The in silico analysis showed that CTLA-4 expression was augmented in patients with BLCA. The ELISA results revealed that CTLA-4 expression was reduced in patients with BLCA carrying the AA genotype. Several signaling pathways, including cytokine-cytokine receptor interactions and T-cell receptor signaling, were associated with CTLA-4 expression. Conclusion The CTLA-4 rs231775 A/G polymorphism is associated with cancer risk in East Asian population. This polymorphism is especially associated with BLCA.

Abstract
Introduction The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) has been linked to the majority of autoimmune diseases (ADs). However, non-HLA genes may be risk factors for ADs. A number of genes encoding proteins involved in regulating T-cell and B-cell function have been identified as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) susceptibility genes. Methods In this study, we investigated the association between RA and single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of co-stimulatory or co-inhibitory molecules in 124 RA cases and 100 healthy controls without immune-related diseases [including tumor necrosis factor superfamily member 4 (TNFSF4), CD28, cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA4), and programmed cell death protein 1 (PDCD1)]. Results The results showed that there were 13 SNPs associated with RA, including rs181758110 of TNFSF4 (CC vs. CT, p = 0.038); rs3181096 of CD28 (TT vs. CC + CT, p = 0.035; CC vs. TT, p = 0.047); rs11571315 (TT vs. CT, p = 0.045), rs733618 (CC vs. TT + CT, p = 0.043), rs4553808 (AA vs. AG vs. GG, p = 0.035), rs11571316 (GG vs. AG vs. AA, p = 0.048; GG vs. AG + AA, p = 0.026; GG vs. AG, p = 0.014), rs16840252 (CC vs. CT vs. TT, p = 0.007; CC vs. CT, p = 0.011), rs5742909 (CC vs. CT vs. TT, p = 0.040), and rs11571319 of CTLA4 (GG vs. AG vs. AA, p < 0.001; GG vs. AG + AA, p = 0.048; AA vs. GG + AG, p = 0.001; GG vs. AA, p = 0.008; GG vs. AG, p ≤ 0.001); and rs10204525 (TT vs. CT + CC, p = 0.024; TT vs. CT, p = 0.021), rs2227982 (AA vs. GG, p = 0.047), rs36084323 (TT vs. CT vs. CC, p = 0.022; TT vs. CT + CC, p = 0.013; CC vs. TT + CT, p = 0.048; TT vs. CC, p = 0.008), and rs5839828 of PDCD1 (DEL vs. DEL/G vs. GG, p = 0.014; DEL vs. DEL/G + GG, p = 0.014; GG vs. DEL + DEL/G, p = 0.025; DEL vs. GG, p = 0.007). Discussion Consequently, these SNPs may play an important role in immune regulation, and further research into the role of these SNPs of immune regulatory genes in the pathogenesis of RA is required.

Abstract
Human leukocyte antigen genes have been shown to have the strongest association with autoimmune disease (AD). However, non-HLA genes would be risk factors of AD. Many genes encoding proteins that are related to T- and B-cell function have been identified as susceptibility genes of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In this study, we explored the correlation between SLE and the genetic polymorphisms of co-stimulatory/co-inhibitory molecules, including CTLA4, CD28, ICOS, PDCD1, and TNFSF4. We found that there were nine single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with SLE, namely, rs11571315 (TT vs. CT vs. CC: p < 0.001; TT vs. CT: p = 0.001; p = 0.005; TT vs. CT +CC: p < 0.001; TT+CT vs. CC: p = 0.032), rs733618 (CC vs. CT vs. TT: p = 0.002; CC vs. CT: p = 0.001; CC vs. TT: p = 0.018; CC vs. CT + TT: p = 0.001), rs4553808 (AA vs. AG: p < 0.001), rs62182595 (GG vs. AG vs. AA: p < 0.001; GG vs. AG: p < 0.001; GG vs. AG+AA: p < 0.001), rs16840252 (CC vs. CT vs. TT: p < 0.001; CC vs. CT: p < 0.001; CC vs. CT + TT: p < 0.001), rs5742909 (CC vs. CT: p = 0.027; CC vs. CT + TT: p = 0.044), rs11571319 (GG vs. AG vs. AA: p < 0.001, GG vs. AG: p < 0.001; GG vs. AG+AA: p < 0.001), rs36084323 (CC vs. CT vs. TT: p = 0.013, CC vs. TT: p = 0.004; CC vs. CT + TT: p = 0.015; CC +CT vs. TT: p = 0.015), and rs1234314 (CC vs. CG vs. GG: p = 0.005; GG vs. CC: p = 0.004; GG+ CG vs. CC: p = 0.001), but not in CD28 and ICOS by using the chi-square test. Additionally, rs62182595 and rs16840252 of CTLA and rs1234314 and rs45454293 of TNFSF4 were also associated with SLE in haplotypes. These SLE-related SNPs also had an association with several diseases. It was indicated that these SNPs may play an important role in immune regulation and pathogenic mechanisms.

Comprehensive Analysis of 29,464 Cancer Cases and 35,858 Controls to Investigate the Effect of the Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte Antigen 4 Gene rs231775 A/G Polymorphism on Cancer Risk. Front Oncol 2022; 12:878507.

Abstract
In our previous studies, we found that the rs231775 polymorphism of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) is associated with risks of different cancer types; however, the association remains controversial and ambiguous, so we conducted an in-depth meta-analysis to verify the association. A complete search of the PubMed, Google Scholar, Embase, Chinese databases, and Web of Science was conducted without regard to language limitations, covering all publications since November 20, 2021. The search criteria for cancer susceptibility associated with the polymorphism in the CTLA-4 gene rs231775 resulted in 87 case-control studies with 29,464 cases and 35,858 controls. The association strength was analyzed using odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. Overall, we found that the CTLA-4 rs231775 polymorphism may reduce cancer risk. A stratified cancer type analysis showed that CTLA-4 rs231775 polymorphism was a risk factor for colorectal cancer and thyroid cancer; on the other hand, it was a protective factor for breast cancer, liver cancer, cervical cancer, bone cancer, head and neck, and pancreatic cancer. We also classified cancer into five systems and observed an increased association with digestive tract cancer, decreased associations with orthopedic tumors, tumors of the urinary system, and gynecological tumors. In the subgroup based on race, decreased relationships were observed in both Asians and Caucasians. The same decreased association was also shown in the analysis of the source of control analysis. Our present study indicates that the CTLA-4 rs231775 polymorphism contributes to cancer development and aggression.

Abstract
AIM Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4), an inhibitory molecule on T-cells, plays a key role in tumorigenesis and progression. In the present study, we investigated the effects of three polymorphisms in the CTLA-4 gene on the risk of epithelial ovarian cancer and the clinical outcomes of patients. METHODS A case-control study was performed in 527 epithelial ovarian cancer patients and 532 controls. Genotypes of three polymorphisms were determined by polymerase chain reaction/ligase detection reaction. A survival analysis was performed in 346 patients who were followed up for more than 3 years and 208 patients who were followed up for more than 5 years. RESULTS There were significant differences in the genotype and allele distribution frequencies of the rs5742909 C/T polymorphism in CTLA-4 between patients and controls (p = 0.009 and p = 0.04, respectively). Compared with the CC genotype, the CT + TT genotype may significantly decrease the risk of developing epithelial ovarian cancer (OR = 0.69, 95% CI = 0.52-0.91). However, no significant association between the rs231775 G/A and rs3087243 G/A polymorphisms and epithelial ovarian cancer risk was observed. The survival analysis showed that three polymorphisms may not be related to the clinical outcomes of patients. CONCLUSION Our results suggested that the rs5742909 C/T polymorphism of CTLA-4 may decrease the genetic susceptibility to epithelial ovarian cancer among northern Chinese women.

Abstract
Background: Variants in B- and T-lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA) gene are likely to affect the function of BTLA protein. Methods: In the present case–control study, we selected BTLA tagging single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs16859629 T>C, rs1982809 G>A, rs2171513 G>A and rs3112270 A>G) and conducted a case–control study to identify the association of BTLA SNPs with risk of esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma (EGJA). The present study involved 1236 new incident EGJA cases and 1540 cancer-free controls. Results: The genotypes of BTLA SNPs were analyzed using a SNPscan Kit. No association was also found between the BTLA SNPs and the susceptibility of EGJA in overall comparsion. In subgroup analyses, the BTLA rs1982809 was found to be associated with an increased susceptibility of EGJA (AA versus GG: ORadjusted = 2.09, 95% CI 1.08–4.07, P = 0.030; and AA versus GA/GG: ORadjusted = 1.99, 95% CI 1.04–3.82, P = 0.039). In haplotype comparison, we identified that TAAG haplotype with the order of BTLA rs16859629, rs1982809, rs2171513 and rs3112270 SNPs might increase the susceptibility of EGJA (OR = 3.07, 95% CI = 1.41–6.71; P = 0.003). Conclusion: To conclude, the present study suggests that BTLA Trs16859629Ars1982809Ars2171513Grs3112270 haplotype may increase the susceptibility of EGJA. More studies should be conducted to evaluate whether BTLA polymorphisms may influence the susceptibility of cancer in the future.

Abstract
Graves’ disease (GD) is an autoimmune inflammatory disease, and Graves’ ophthalmopathy (GO) occurs in 25–50% of patients with GD. Several susceptible genes were identified to be associated with GO in some genetic analysis studies, including the immune regulatory gene CTLA4. We aimed to find out the correlation of CTLA4 gene polymorphism and GO. A total of 42 participants were enrolled in this study, consisting of 22 patients with GO and 20 healthy controls. Chi-square or Fisher’s exact test were used to appraise the association between Graves’ ophthalmopathy and CTLA4 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). All regions of CTLA4 including promoter, exon and 3’UTR were investigated. There was no nucleotide substitution in exon 2 and exon 3 of CTLA4 region, and the allele frequencies of CTLA4 polymorphisms had no significant difference between patients with GO and controls. However, the genotype frequency of “TT” genotype in rs733618 significantly differed between patients with GO and healthy controls (OR = 0.421, 95%CI: 0.290–0.611, p = 0.043), and the “CC” and “CT” genotype in rs16840252 were nearly significantly differed in genotype frequency (p = 0.052). Haplotype analysis showed that CTLA4 Crs733618Crs16840252 might increase the risk of GO (OR = 2.375, 95%CI: 1.636–3.448, p = 0.043). In conclusion, CTLA4 Crs733618Crs16840252 was found to be a potential marker for GO, and these haplotypes would be ethnicity-specific. Clinical application of CTLA4 Crs733618Crs16840252 in predicting GO in GD patients may be beneficial.
