Abstract
PURPOSE Age-related cataract (ARC) is a multifactorial disease and different risk factors, including genetic and environmental, are responsible for the development of its various types. The aim of this study was to find out a correlation, if any, between ARC and the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in DNA repair genes XRCC1 (X-ray repair cross-complementary-1) [Arg194Trp (rs1799782)] and XPD (xerodermapigmentosa complementation group D) [Lys751Gln (rs13,181]. METHOD The genotype at these two SNPs was analyzed in 260 subjects (125 control and 135 patients) from Southern Punjab population (Pakistan) by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. Genotype at both analyzed codons was correlated either individually or in various combinations with the studied epidemiological factors known to be associated with ARC. RESULTS Our results indicated that both SNPs Arg194Trp in XRCC1 (P = 0.967) and Lys751Gln in XPD (P = 0.995) were not associated with ARC whether they were analyzed individually or in combined form (P > 0.05). Analysis of epidemiological factors revealed that age (P < 0.001), cast of subjects (P = 0.001), diabetes (P < 0.001), hypertension (P = 0.001), smoking habit (P = 0.01), drug abuse (P < 0.05), steroid use (P = 0.001) and body weight (P < 0.001) can influence the incidence of ARC in enrolled subjects. After applying Binary logistic regression it was found that the weight (P < 0.01), family history (P = 0.05), drug abuse (P = 0.05), smoking (P < 0.05) and steroid use (P < 0.05) has a significant association with the phenotype of the subjects. All epidemiological factors were also studied in association with various genotypic combinations of both SNPS, diabetes was the only factor that had a significant association (P < 0.001) association with ARC. Hypertension (P = 0.01), body weight (P < 0.05) and cast (P < 0.001) were found associated with ARC when epidemiological factors were individually correlated with ARC. Result of the two proportion test indicated that gender had no influence on the incidence of disease. CONCLUSION It is concluded that studied SNPs in XRCC1 and XPD have no association with the incidence of age related cataract in the analyzed group of subjects.

Abstract
PURPOSE To discern and confirm genetic biomarkers that help identify populations at high risk for age-related cataract (ARC). METHODS A literature search was performed in the PubMed, Web of Science and China National Knowledge Internet databases for genetic association studies published before June 26, 2016 regarding ARC susceptibility. All genetic polymorphisms reported were systematically reviewed, followed by extraction of candidate genes/loci with sufficient genotype data in ≥3 studies for the meta-analysis. A random/fixed-effects model was used to calculate the pooled odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals to evaluate the associations considering multiple genetic models. Sensitivity analysis was also performed. RESULTS A total of 144 polymorphisms in 36 genes were reported in the 61 previous genetic association studies. Thereby, three polymorphisms of two genes (8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase-1 [OGG1]; methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase NADPH [MTHFR]) in eight studies were included in the meta-analysis. Regarding the OGG1-rs1052133, the GG (OR = 1.925; 95%CI, 1.181-3.136; p = 0.009) and CG (OR = 1.384; 95%CI, 1.171-1.636; p<0.001) genotypes indicated higher risk of ARC. For the MTHFR gene, the CC+TT genotype of rs1801133 might be protective (OR, 0.838; 95%CI, 0.710-0.989; p = 0.036), whereas the AA+CC genotype of rs1801131 indicated increased risk for the mixed subtype (OR = 1.517; 95%CI, 1.113-2.067; p = 0.008). CONCLUSIONS Polymorphisms of OGG1 and MTHFR genes are associated with ARC susceptibility and may help identify populations at high risk for ARC.

Expression of DNA repair genes in lens cortex of age-related cortical cataract. Exp Mol Pathol 2017; 102:219-223. [PMID: 28202419 DOI: 10.1016/j.yexmp.2017.02.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2016] [Revised: 02/05/2017] [Accepted: 02/10/2017] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
The formation and development of age-related cataract (ARC) has been demonstrated to have the involvement of defective DNA repair in lens epithelial cells (LECs). This study aimed to investigate DNA repair genes expression in human lens cortex collected from age-related cortical cataract (ARCC) and controls during surgery. The expression levels of the genes were evaluated by xx genes microarray analysis. The results were further confirmed by Quantitative Real-Time PCR (qRT-PCR). The mRNA levels of 7 genes decreased and 4 genes out of 92 genes increased in lens cortex of ARCCs compared with controls with the fold change >1.5. Using Comet assay, we found the DNA breaks in the LECs of ARCCs were obviously severer than that of controls. The present data provide a global perspective on expression of DNA repair genes that may contribute to cataract pathogenesis. The DNA damage and repair pathway might be an effective target to delay the onset of ARC.

New mutation in the mouse Xpd/Ercc2 gene leads to recessive cataracts. PLoS One 2015; 10:e0125304.

Abstract
Cataracts are the major eye disorder and have been associated mainly with mutations in lens-specific genes, but cataracts are also frequently associated with complex syndromes. In a large-scale high-throughput ENU mutagenesis screen we analyzed the offspring of paternally treated C3HeB/FeJ mice for obvious dysmorphologies. We identified a mutant suffering from rough coat and small eyes only in homozygotes; homozygous females turned out to be sterile. The mutation was mapped to chromosome 7 between the markers 116J6.1 and D7Mit294;4 other markers within this interval did not show any recombination among 160 F2-mutants. The critical interval (8.6 Mb) contains 3 candidate genes (Apoe, Six5, Opa3); none of them showed a mutation. Using exome sequencing, we identified a c.2209T>C mutation in the Xpd/Ercc2 gene leading to a Ser737Pro exchange. During embryonic development, the mutant eyes did not show major changes. Postnatal histological analyses demonstrated small cortical vacuoles; later, cortical cataracts developed. Since XPD/ERCC2 is involved in DNA repair, we checked also for the presence of the repair-associated histone γH2AX in the lens. During the time, when primary lens fiber cell nuclei are degraded, γH2AX was strongly expressed in the cell nuclei; later, it demarcates clearly the border of the lens cortex to the organelle-free zone. Moreover, we analyzed also whether seemingly healthy heterozygotes might be less efficient in repair of DNA damage induced by ionizing radiation than wild types. Peripheral lymphocytes irradiated by 1Gy Cs137 showed 6 hrs after irradiation significantly more γH2AX foci in heterozygotes than in wild types. These findings demonstrate the importance of XPD/ERCC2 not only for lens fiber cell differentiation, but also for the sensitivity to ionizing radiation. Based upon these data, we hypothesize that variations in the human XPD/ERCC2 gene might increase the susceptibility for several disorders besides Xeroderma pigmentosum in heterozygotes under particular environmental conditions.

Abstract
PURPOSE A meta-analysis of available studies was used to test the association between two DNA repair genes and age-related cataract. MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic search of the Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, EMBASE and PubMed databases identified six studies that were analyzed. Meta-analysis was used to evaluate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of the DNA repair gene xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group D (XPD) (Lys751Gln) and the X-ray repair cross-complementing gene 1 (XRCC1) (Arg399Gln). Only articles published before June 6, 2014, were included. The quality of the studies was determined using Newcastle-Ottawa Scale tools. The summary odds ratio (OR) and corresponding confidence interval (CI) for XPD Lys751Gln and XRCC1 Arg399Gln polymorphisms and risk of age-related cataract were estimated by random and fixed-effects models. Sensitivity analysis was employed to determine the robustness of the conclusions. RESULTS Six studies, with a total of 1518 patients with cataractous lenses and 1437 subjects with clear lenses, were included in the meta-analysis. XRCC1 Arg399Gln polymorphisms were associated with cataract risk (recessive model: ORfixed = 0.79, 95% CI: 0.67-0.93; dominant model: ORfixed = 0.84, 95% CI: 0.64-1.11; additive model: ORfixed = 0.82, 95% CI: 0.72-0.92). Analysis of Chinese, but not non-Chinese subgroups, confirmed this association. The OR of XPD Lys751Gln polymorphisms for cataract was not significant. The associations remained significant after sensitivity analysis. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis indicates that XRCC1 Arg399Gln polymorphisms, but not XPD Lys751Gln polymorphisms, are associated with risk of age-related cataract.

Abstract
In 2011, the International Commission on Radiological Protection issued a statement on tissue reactions (formerly termed non-stochastic or deterministic effects) to recommend lowering the threshold for cataracts and the occupational equivalent dose limit for the crystalline lens of the eye. Furthermore, this statement was the first to list circulatory disease (cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease) as a health hazard of radiation exposure and to assign its threshold for the heart and brain. These changes have stimulated various discussions and may have impacts on some radiation workers, such as those in the medical sector. This paper considers emerging issues associated with cataracts and cardiovascular disease. For cataracts, topics dealt with herein include (i) the progressive nature, stochastic nature, target cells and trigger events of lens opacification, (ii) roles of lens protein denaturation, oxidative stress, calcium ions, tumor suppressors and DNA repair factors in cataractogenesis, (iii) dose rate effect, radiation weighting factor, and classification systems for cataracts, and (iv) estimation of the lens dose in clinical settings. Topics for cardiovascular disease include experimental animal models, relevant surrogate markers, latency period, target tissues, and roles of inflammation and cellular senescence. Future research needs are also discussed.

Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol 2014; 252:1259-66. [PMID: 24906341 DOI: 10.1007/s00417-014-2679-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2013] [Revised: 05/17/2014] [Accepted: 05/20/2014] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND DNA repair gene (XPD and XRCC1) polymorphisms have been considered as risk factors for the development of age-related cataract (ARC). To confirm the association between DNA repair gene (XPD and XRCC1) polymorphisms and the risk of ARC, a meta-analysis was conducted. METHODS A search was made of published literature from Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) Web of Knowledge, PubMed, Google Scholar, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Wanfang Data. In addition, all studies evaluating the association between DNA repair genes (XPD and XRCC1) polymorphisms and the risk for ARC were included in our analysis. Pooled odds ratio (OR) and 95 % confidence interval (CI) were calculated by using fixed- or random-effects model. The Egger's test was used to check the publication bias. RESULTS Six studies on XRCC1 Arg399Gln (1,300 cases, 1,222 controls) and five studies on XPD Lys751Gln (1,092 cases, 1,061 controls) were included. For the XPD Lys751Gln (A/C) SNP, the overall analysis demonstrated that the CC genotype showed a significant association with a decreased risk for ARC compared with the AA genotype (OR = 0.59, 95 % CI, 0.38-0.92, P = 0.019). Similarly, the CC genotype showed a significant association with a decreased risk for ARC compared with the (AA + AC) genotype (OR = 0.65, 95 % CI, 0.43-0.98, P = 0.040). Subgroup analysis showed that the association between the CC genotype and decreased risk for ARC is statistically significant in Caucasians (OR = 0.41, 95 % CI, 0.24-0.73, P = 0.002) but not in Asians (OR = 1.06, 95 % CI, 0.51-2.19, P = 0.877). For the XRCC1 Arg399Gln (G/A) SNP, the overall analysis demonstrated that the A allele showed a significant association with an increased risk for ARC compared with the G allele (OR = 1.16, 95 % CI, 1.03-1.31, P = 0.015). Subgroup analyses exhibited that the association between the A allele and the risk for ARC was statistically significant in Asians (OR = 1.23, 95 % CI, 1.07-1.41, P = 0.003) but not in Caucasians (OR = 0.94, 95 % CI, 0.73-1.22, P = 0.660). Compared with the GG genotype, the GA genotype showed a significant association with an increased risk for ARC in Asians (OR = 1.32, 95 % CI, 1.08-1.61, P = 0.006) but not in Caucasians (OR = 0.58, 95 % CI, 0.27-1.26, P = 0.171). The Egger's test did not reveal an obvious publication bias among the included studies. CONCLUSIONS Our meta-analysis suggested that the CC genotype of XPD Lys751Gln (A/C) SNP seemed to portend a decreased risk for ARC in Caucasian populations but not in Asian populations. The A allele and GA genotype of XRCC1 Arg399Gln (G/A) SNP might increase risk for ARC in Asian populations but not in Caucasian populations. More researches with larger and more different ethnic populations on this issue are therefore necessary.

Abstract
The development of age-related cataract (ARC) is associated with DNA damage of the lens epithelial cells (LECs). This study aimed to investigate the expression level of DNA repair genes in LECs of ARC and examine whether any altered expression observed could result from DNA methylation of the promoter region of the genes. The expression levels of DNA repair genes were evaluated by microarray analysis. The results were further confirmed by qRT-PCR. DNA methylation of genes with altered expression was determined by bisulfite-specific (BSP) PCR. The mRNA levels of 10 DNA repair genes were decreased and the level of 1 DNA repair gene was increased in LECs of ARC patients compared with controls. The promoter region of the MGMT gene was hypermethylated in ARC tissue compared to controls. The data provide evidence that altered expression of DNA repair genes is associated with pathogenesis of ARC. DNA methylation of MGMT may regulate the expression of the gene and be involved in the development of ARC.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the association between the g.4235T>C (rs2337395) polymorphism of the UNG gene and the c.-31A>G (rs3087404) polymorphism of the SMUG1 gene and the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), as well as modulation of this association by some environmental and lifestyle factors. METHODS Overall, 272 AMD patients and 105 control subjects were enrolled in this study. Both polymorphisms were genotyped by restriction fragment length polymorphism-polymerase chain reaction (PCR-RFLP). RESULTS The C/C genotype of the g.4235T>C polymorphism of the UNG gene was associated with an increased risk of dry AMD (odds ratio, 2.54), whereas the T/T genotype of this polymorphism decreased such risk (odds ratio, 0.41). The presence of the T allele of the g.4235T>C polymorphism and the A allele of the c.-31A>G polymorphism of the SMUG1 gene (odds ratio, 2.17 and 2.18, respectively) was associated with an increased risk of AMD severity, expressed by the comparison of the frequencies of genotypes in the group of patients with wet AMD versus those with dry AMD. Conversely, the C/C genotype of the g.4235T>C polymorphism, the G/G genotype of the c.-31A>G polymorphism, and the C/C-G/G combined genotype of both polymorphisms had a protective effect (odds ratio, 0.48, 0.46, and 0.18; respectively). CONCLUSION The results obtained suggest the potential role of the g.4235T>C and the c.-31A>G polymorphisms in AMD pathogenesis.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aims to assess a meta-analysis of the association of X-ray repair cross-complementing group 1 (XRCC1) polymorphisms with the risk of various non-carcinogenic diseases in different population. MATERIALS AND METHODS This meta-analysis was performed by critically reviewing reveals 38 studies involving 10043 cases and 11037 controls. Among all the eligible studies, 14 focused on Arg194Trp polymorphism, 33 described the Arg399Gln and three articles investigated on Arg280His. Populations were divided into three different ethnic subgroups include Caucasians, Asians and other (Turkish and Iranian). RESULTS Pooled results showed no correlation between Arg194Trp and non-carcinogenic disease. There was only weak relation in the recessive (odds ratio [OR] =1.11, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.86-1.44) model in Asian population and dominant (OR = 1.04, 95% CI: 0.66-1.63) model of other populations. In Arg399Gln polymorphism, there was no relation with diseases of interest generally. In the pooled analysis, there were weak relation in the dominant (OR = 1.08, 95% CI: 0.86-1.35) model of Asian population and quite well-correlation with recessive (OR = 1.49, 95% CI: 1.19-1.88), dominant (OR = 1.23, 95% CI: 0.94-1.62), and additive (OR = 1.23, 95% CI: 0.94-1.62) models of other subgroup. For Arg280His, there was a weak relation only in the dominant model (OR = 1.06, 95% CI: 0.74-1.51). CONCLUSION The present meta-analysis correspondingly shows that Arg399Gln variant to be associated with increased non-carcinogenic diseases risk through dominant and recessive modes among Iranian and Turkish population. It also suggests a trend of dominant and recessive effect of Arg280His variant in all population and its possible protective effect on non-carcinogenic diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxidative DNA damage may be one of the etiologies of age-related cataract (ARC). We quantified DNA damage in lens epithelial cells (LECs) and peripheral blood lymphocytes of ARC. METHODS A total of 64 patients with different types of ARC and 23 control subjects were enrolled. Fresh LECs and peripheral lymphocytes were collected and DNA damage was evaluated by alkaline comet assay. The percentage of DNA in the tail of comets (%Tail DNA) and the olive tail moment (OTM) were calculated by CASP software. RESULTS The results showed the %Tail DNA and OTM in LECs and lymphocytes in the overall cataract patient group were significantly higher than those in the control subjects. The %Tail DNA and OTM of LECs and lymphocytes showed no differences among cortical, nuclear and posterior subcapsular cataracts. The %Tail DNA and OTM in LECs were significantly lower than those in lymphocytes but a significant correlation of the DNA damage was found between them. CONCLUSION We concluded that DNA damage in lens and peripheral blood lymphocytes increased in ARC. The results imply that local and systemic oxidative DNA damage might play certain roles in ARC pathogenesis.

Abstract
Werner syndrome is caused by mutations in the DNA repair Werner helicase (WRN) gene and characterized by accelerated aging including cataracts. Age-related cataract (ARC) cases (N = 504) and controls (N = 244) were recruited from a population-based study to evaluate the association of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of WRN and another DNA repair gene (human 8-oxoguanine DNA N-glycosylase 1) with ARC. Among the five SNPs tested, only WRN rs1346044 was found to be significantly associated between cases and controls before multiple-testing adjustment. The minor C allele of rs1346044 was associated with ARC with an odds ratio (OR) of 0.66, suggesting a protective role of the C allele for developing ARC. The stratification analysis on the subtypes of ARC showed that rs1346044 was significantly associated with cortical cataract, but not with nuclear, posterior subcapsular, and mixed types after multiple-testing adjustment (OR = 0.51, p< 0.01). The genetic model analysis showed that the results fit the dominant model (OR = 0.44, p < 0.001). The comet assay used to assess the extent of DNA damage in peripheral lymphocytes of ARC cases found that the DNA damage in lymphocytes from patients with CC genotype was significantly less than that in patients with TT genotype. We concluded that the C allele of rs1346044, a non-synonymous SNP resulting in the conversion of Cys to Arg at amino acid position 1367 of WRN, alters susceptibility to ARC, especially the cortical type of the disease, in the Han Chinese. The underlying mechanism of its protective role might be related to the improved DNA repair function.

Abstract
This study aimed to assess a meta-analysis of the association of XRCC1 polymorphisms with the risk of various ophthalmologic diseases in Asian population. This meta-analysis was performed by critically reviewing reveals 38 studies involving 1373 cases and 1745 controls. Among all the eligible studies, one focused on Arg194Trp polymorphism, nine described the Arg399Gln and no article investigated on Arg280His. There was a large between-study heterogeneity in ORs of individual studies of the dominant model (chi2 = 74.18, I2 = 58.9%, p = 0.013) and the additive (chi2 = 56.18, I2 = 41.4%, p = 0.091) models, but a moderate heterogeneity in the recessive model (chi2 = 72.27, I2 = 78.8%, p = 0.000) was observed. So, we pooled the results using the random-effect analysis and found that Arg399Gln has a weak relation with ophthalmologic disease in the recessive (OR = 0.96, 95% CI: 0.64-1.44), the dominant (OR = 1.05, 95% CI: 0.82-1.33) and the additive (OR = 1.15, 95% CI: 0.77-1.70) and models. The present meta-analysis correspondingly shows that comprising diverse population is very important since susceptibility loci might vary indifferent ethnic groups. To ratify our findings, widespread studies with enlarged sample size and various populations are essential to explain the role of all polymorphism of XRCC1 genes in the pathogenesis of ophthalmologic diseases. Finally, our meta-analysis showed Arg399Gln variant was not associated with increased ophthalmologic diseases risk via dominant and recessive modes among Asian population.

Abstract
PURPOSE Although the exact genes involved in preeclampsia (PE) are still not fully discovered, an important role for oxidative stress in its pathogenesis is accepted. XRCC1 (MIM: 194360) and XRCC7 (MIM: 600899) play a crucial role in the DNA repair pathways. Functional polymorphisms in XRCC1 (Arg194Trp and Arg399Gln) and XRCC7 (G6721T) may be risk factors for PE. In the present study, the association between the genetic polymorphisms of XRCC1 and XRCC7 and risk of PE is investigated. METHODS The present case-control study was performed on 151 preeclapmtic patients, and a total of 344 normal pregnant women, as a control group. Control women had no history of pregnancies with PE. RESULTS Neither polymorphism of Arg194Trp XRCC1 nor polymorphism of G6721T XRCC7 associated with the risk of PE. The Gln/Gln genotype of Arg399Gln XRCC1 polymorphism increased the risk of PE (OR=2.39, 95 % CI: 1.38-4.14, P=0.002). Statistical analysis revealed that the haplotype "194Arg-399Gln" showed higher frequency among PE patients compared to the controls (OR=1.65, 95% CI: 1.23-2.19, P=0.001). CONCLUSIONS The present results suggest that the 399Gln allele of the XRCC1 is significant risk factor for PE development.
