Abstract
One type of epigenetic modification is genomic DNA methylation, which is induced by smoking, and both are associated with male infertility. In this study, the relationship between smoking and CHD5 gene methylation and semen parameters in infertile men was determined. After the MS-PCR of blood in 224 samples, 103 infertile patients (62 smokers and 41 non-smokers) and 121 fertile men, methylation level changes between groups and the effect of methylation and smoking on infertility and semen parameters in infertile men were determined. The results showed that there is a significant difference in the methylation status (MM, MU, UU) of the CHD5 gene between the patient and the control group, and this correlation also exists for the semen parameters (p < .001). The average semen parameters in smokers decreased significantly compared to non-smokers and sperm concentration was (32.21 ± 5.27 vs. 55.27 ± 3.38), respectively. MM methylation status was higher in smokers (22.5%) compared to non-smokers (14.6%). Smoking components affect the methylation pattern of CHD5 gene, and smokers had higher methylation levels and lower semen parameters than non-smokers, which can be biomarkers for evaluating semen quality and infertility risk factors. Understanding the epigenetic effects of smoking on male infertility can be very useful for predicting negative consequences of smoking and providing therapeutic solutions.

Host Factors in the Natural History of Chronic Hepatitis B: Role of Genetic Determinants. Int J Hepatol 2022; 2022:6046677. [PMID: 36052277 PMCID: PMC9427277 DOI: 10.1155/2022/6046677] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2022] [Accepted: 07/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The host immune system plays an important role in hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection manifestation. Genetic polymorphisms of several inflammatory cytokines, including TNF-α and IL-10, have been associated with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) progression, although with contradicting results. CHB progression can be categorized into four phases, immune tolerance (IT), immune clearance (IC), low/no replicative (LR), and e-negative hepatitis (ENH), with HBeAg seroconversion as an important milestone. Here, we determined the association of TNF-α (rs1800629) and IL-10 (rs1800896 and rs1800872) SNPs in the context of CHB natural history progression, particularly to HBeAg seroconversion, in Indonesian CHB patients. METHODS A total of 287 subjects were recruited and categorized into distinct CHB phases based on HBeAg, viral load, and ALT levels. TNF-α and IL-10 SNPs were determined using PCR-RFLP and confirmed with direct sequencing. The association between SNP genotypes with CHB dynamics was determined using logistic regression presented as odds ratio (OR) with 95% CI. RESULTS No significant association was found between IL-10 -592A/C polymorphism and progression of IT and IC to LR, IT and IC to ENH, and LR to ENH phases in all the gene models. IL-10 rs1800896 and TNF-α rs1800629 could not be analyzed using logistic regression. Subjects' age (≥40 years old) was significantly associated with IT and IC to LR (OR: 2.191, 95% CI 1.067-4.578, P = 0.034), IT and IC to ENH (OR: 7.460, 95% CI 3.316-18.310, P < 0.001), and LR to ENH (OR: 5.252, 95% CI 2.010-14.858, P = 0.001). Male gender was associated with LR to ENH (OR: 4.077, 95% CI 1.605-11.023, P = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS Age and male gender were associated with CHB phase progression instead of the TNF-α and IL-10 polymorphisms. It would be beneficial to study not only the effect of host determinants but also the viral factor to understand the mechanisms of CHB phase progression.

Abstract
Objective Chromodomain helicase DNA-binding 5 (CHD5) acts as a tumor
suppressor gene in some cancers. CHD5 expression levels may affect an
individual’s susceptibility to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study
aimed to evaluate the methylation pattern of the CHD5
promoter region and the gene’s corresponding mRNA expression in HCC patients
compared with healthy individuals. Methods In this case–control study, CHD5 mRNA gene expression levels
and DNA methylation patterns were analyzed in 81 HCC patients and 90 healthy
individuals by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction
and methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction, respectively. Results The CHD5 gene was hypermethylated in 61.8% of the HCC
patients and 54.4% of the controls, and this difference was statistically
significant. The CHD5 mRNA expression levels were
significantly lower in the HCC patient group. Conclusions Hypermethylation of the CHD5 promoter region may
significantly lower the expression of this gene, affecting the incidence and
severity of HCC. The methylation status of CHD5 can also be
further studied as a prognostic factor in HCC.

Relationships between IL-1β, TNF-α genetic polymorphisms and HBV infection: A meta-analytical study. Gene 2021; 791:145617. [PMID: 33775848 DOI: 10.1016/j.gene.2021.145617] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2020] [Revised: 03/06/2021] [Accepted: 03/23/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND IL-1β and TNF-α have been demonstrated as pro-inflammatory cytokines to participate in the innate immune response and suppression of HBV infection. However, the exact relationship between IL-1β, TNF-α gene polymorphisms and HBV infection remains unknown. Our study aims to assess the associations between IL-1β, TNF-α gene polymorphisms and HBV infection. METHODS A systematic literature search of PubMed and Embase databases was conducted through February 2020, and studies that were included in the present meta-analysis should fulfil the following conditions: (1) case-control studies focusing on the associations between IL-1β, TNF-α polymorphisms and HBV infection; (2) patients in the case group should be tested positive for the HBsAg and/or HBV-DNA without liver cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma; (3) the control group including healthy population or HBV spontaneous clearance population; (4) odds ratios (ORs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) could be calculated based on the allele and genotype frequencies provided in articles. The quality of included studies was assessed according to the Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS) assessment system. Pooled ORs and 95% CIs were used to analyze the strength of associations. Subgroup analysis was performed according to ethnicity and control type. RESULTS In the present meta-analysis, 49 articles including 10,218 cases and 9,557 controls were enrolled and seven polymorphisms (IL-1β rs16944, rs1143634, TNF-α rs1799724, rs1799964, rs1800629, rs1800630, rs361525) were studied. In overall meta-analysis, significant associations were found in IL-1β rs1143634, TNF-α rs1799724 and TNF-α rs1799964. For subgroup analysis under ethnicity, TNF-α rs1799724 and rs1800630 were markedly related to HBV infection in both Asian and Caucasian populations. In terms of control type subgroup, TNF-α rs1799724, rs1799964, rs1800630 were significantly associated with HBV persistence in HBV spontaneous clearance group. CONCLUSION In the present study, we identified that three polymorphisms (IL-1β rs1143634, TNF-α rs1799724, rs1799964) might serve as potential genetic biomarkers in HBV infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Research focusing on the relationship between five types of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) SNPs and the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) were still controversial. Hereby, we performed a meta-analysis to determine the association between TNF-α promoter SNPs: -1031 T/C, - 863 C/A, - 857 C/T, - 308 G/A, and - 238 G/A with HCC risk. METHODS We interrogated articles from journal database: PubMed, Pro-Quest, EBSCO, Science Direct, and Springer to determine the relationship between five types of SNPs in TNF-α gene with HCC risk. RevMan 5.3 software was used for analysis in fixed/random effect models. RESULTS This meta-analysis included 23 potential articles from 2004 to 2018 with 3237 HCC cases and 4843 controls. We found that SNP - 863 C/A were associated with a significantly increased HCC risk (A vs C, OR = 1.31, 95% CI = 1.03-1.67). Similar results were obtained in - 857 C/T (TT/CT vs CC, OR = 1.31, 95% CI = 1.06-1.62), - 308 G/A (AA vs GG, OR = 3.14, 95% CI = 2.06-4.79), and - 238 G/A (AA vs GG, OR = 3.87, 95% CI = 1.32-11.34). While no associations were observed between SNP TNF-α - 1031 T/C and HCC risk. CONCLUSIONS The present meta-analysis showed that TNFα SNPs -863C/A, - 857 C/T, - 308 G/A, and - 238 G/A were associated with the risk of HCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammation is one of the factors associated with prostate cancer. The cytokine tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) plays an important role in inflammation. Several studies have focused on the association between TNF-α polymorphisms and prostate cancer development. Our meta-analysis aimed to estimate the association between TNF-α rs1800629 (- 308 G/A), rs361525 (- 238 G/A) and rs1799724 polymorphisms and prostate cancer risk. METHODS Eligible studies were identified from electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, Wanfang and CNKI) using keywords: TNF-α, polymorphism, prostate cancer, until Nov 15, 2019. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were applied to determine the association from a quantitative point-of-view. Publication bias and sensitivity analysis were also applied to evaluate the power of current study. All statistical analyses were done with Stata 11.0 software. RESULTS Twenty-two different articles were included (22 studies about rs1800629; 8 studies for rs361525 and 5 studies related to rs1799724). Overall, no significant association was found between rs1800629 and rs1799724 polymorphisms and the risk of prostate cancer in the whole (such as: OR = 1.03, 95% CI = 0.92-1.16, P = 0.580 in the allele for rs1800629; OR = 0.95, 95% CI = 0.84-1.07, P = 0.381 in the allele for rs1799724). The rs361525 polymorphism also had no association with prostate cancer in the cases (OR = 0.93, 95% CI = 0.66-1.32, P = 0.684 in the allele) and ethnicity subgroup. The stratified subgroup of genotype method, however, revealed that the rs361525 variant significantly decreased the risk of prostate cancer in the Others (OR = 0.65, 95% CI = 0.47-0.89, P = 0.008, A-allele vs G-allele) and PCR-RFLP (OR = 2.68, 95% CI = 1.00-7.20, P = 0.050, AG vs GG or AA+AG vs GG) methods. CONCLUSIONS In summary, the findings of the current meta-analysis indicate that the TNF-α rs1800629, rs361525 and rs1799724 polymorphisms are not correlated with prostate cancer development, although there were some pooled positive results. Further well-designed studies are necessary to form more precise conclusions.

Abstract
Survivin can affect the progression of infection and is considered as a marker of various malignancies. The aim of the study was to investigate the possible association of gene polymorphisms of survivin (-1547A/G, -644C/T, -625 C/G, -241C/T, -31G/C, -141G/C) and chronic hepatitis B infection in Iranian patients. The genotypes of survivin SNPs were investigated by polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method using 100 chronic HBV infected patients (HBV), 40 spontaneously recovered HBV subjects and 100 healthy controls (C). Serum level of survivin was determined using ELISA method. The -1547G, -625C, -241T and -31C alleles were associated with increased susceptibility to chronic hepatitis B infection (P = 0.001, P < 0.001, P = 0.003 and P < 0.001 respectively). Chronic HBV patients with -625CC, -241TT and -31CC genotypes had higher levels of survvin. Survivin -1547A/G, -625 C/G, -241C/T and -31G/C gene polymorphisms may be associated with chronic HBV susceptibility in Iranian HBV patients.

Abstract
Patients with schizophrenia (SCZ) exhibit higher suicide rates than the general population. However, the molecular mechanism remains poorly understood. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha polymorphisms have been repeatedly indicated to play a pathogenetic role in various mental disorders, but none of these studies focused on the susceptibility to suicidal behavior in SCZ. We recruited 1087 chronic inpatients with SCZ and 576 controls to assess the psychopathological symptoms of SCZ using the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale scales. We selected 2 polymorphisms (-308G>A and -1031C>T) in the TNF-alpha gene and analyzed their associations with SCZ and suicide. Our results showed that TNF-alpha -308G>A and -1031C>T were not related to SCZ and suicide. However, we found that suicide attempters with the C allele carriers exhibited suicidal behaviors significantly later than those with TT genotype in the SCZ patients. The haplotype containing the T allele of the -1031 was significantly associated with the age of suicide initiation. Further logistic regression analysis showed that -1031C>T interacted with psychopathological symptoms and drinking, age of smoking, and related to the initiation age of suicide attempts. Our study demonstrated that the TNF-alpha variants may affect the age at which suicide attempts started among SCZ suicide attempters.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Studies have shown that the tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) plays an important role in the development of HCC; however, the association between genetic variations of TNF-α and HCC is not yet fully understood. To evaluate the correlation of TNF-α polymorphisms with HCC, we randomly selected 327 HCC patients and 432 healthy controls, all these subjects reported Han nationality. Genotyping of four TNF-α SNPs (rs1799724, rs1800629, rs1799964 and rs1800610) was performed using the matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) method. Distributions of rs1799964 genotypes and rs1800610 alleles were found to be significantly different between cases and controls (p = .011, p = .001). The recessive model of rs1799964 significantly increased HCC risk (p = .0015), while the dominant and over-dominant models of rs1800610 significantly reduced HCC risk (p = .0096, p = .014). Haplotype analysis of the four TNF-α SNPs revealed that the TGTA haplotype was associated with a reduced HCC risk (p = .0033, OR = 0.53), while the TGTG haplotype was associated with an increased HCC risk (p = .0032, OR = 9.69). These findings indicated that specific TNF-α polymorphisms may be associated with the susceptibility to HCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prostate cancer (PCa) as the first men's common cancer in the world and the third cancer in Iranian men is a heterogeneous disorder which sometimes several biopsies are needed for its diagnosis. OBJECTIVES The aim of current study is finding new biomarkers in order to diagnose of PCa at the earliest possible stage. Hence, the relationship between rs1800629 and rs361525 polymorphisms of TNF-α gene with PCa was investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Blood DNA samples were collected from 100 patients with PCa, 110 with BPH, and 110 controls. Collected samples were examined using PCR-RFLP and Tetra-ARMS-PCR techniques to detect the desired polymorphisms. RESULTS The frequency of rs1800629 genotypes in smokers was significantly different from non-smokers with PCa (p= 0.001). Logistic regression analysis results showed that GA heterozygotes in comparison to GG homozygotes had higher risk of developing Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) or prostate cancer. However, no significant correlation was considered between the risk of PCa and the TNF-α gene polymorphisms (rs1800629 and rs361525). CONCLUSIONS Although, the achieved results of this investigation demonstrated that the two examined genetic variants do not seem to be suitable markers for early diagnosis of prostate cancer in this pilot study; however increased risk for the disease is shown in GA heterozygotes and smokers which is indicative of some epigenetic factors influence on prostate cancer etiology.

Association between host TNF-α, TGF-β1, p53 polymorphisms, HBV X gene mutation, HBV viral load and the progression of HBV-associated chronic liver disease in Indonesian patients. Biomed Rep 2019; 11:145-153. [PMID: 31565220 PMCID: PMC6759598 DOI: 10.3892/br.2019.1239] [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: 05/15/2019] [Accepted: 08/12/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
In developing countries, including Indonesia, there is a high mortality rate associated with the progression of hepatitis B virus (HBV)-associated chronic liver disease (CLD). The pathogenesis of HBV infection is influenced by viral and host factors. To determine potential associations between these factors, host single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on TNF-α, TGF-β1 and p53, HBV X gene mutation and HBV viral load were investigated in patients with HBV-associated CLD in Surabaya, Indonesia. Sera were collected from 87 CLD patients with HBV infection. TNF-α, TGF-β1 and p53 SNPs were genotyped by PCR restriction fragment length polymorphism. The HBV X gene was sequenced and compared with reference strains to determine mutations and the viral load was measured using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. In Indonesian patients, no association between TNF-α, TGF-β1 and p53 SNPs and CLD or X gene mutation were identified. A total of 23% (20/87) of samples had HBV X gene mutations, including ten substitution types, one deletion and one insertion. Multinomial regression analysis revealed that the K130M/V131I mutations were correlated with CLD progression (OR, 7.629; 95% CI, 1.578-36.884). Significant differences in viral load were found in HBV-infected patients who had X gene mutations, such as R87W/G, I127L/T/N/S and K130M/V131I mutations (P<0.05). The presence of K130M and V131I mutations may be predictive for the progression of HBV-associated CLD in Indonesia.

Abstract
Aim: To evaluate the effects of gene polymorphisms in the treatment of erythema nodosum leprosum with prednisone/thalidomide. Patients & methods: A total of 152 patients from different regions of Brazil were included. Generalized estimating equation was used to evaluate the influence of polymorphisms and haplotypes on the drug dose variation throughout the treatment. Results: An association between the genotype tuberculoid of polymorphism ABCB1 3435C>T (rs1045642; p = 0.02) and prednisone dose was found in the recessive model. An association between the haplotypes 1031T/-863C/-857C/-308A/-238G (p = 0.006) and 1031T/-863C/-857T/-308A/-238G (p = 0.040) of the TNF gene and the CYP2C19*2 polymorphism were also identified, in relation to thalidomide dosage variation over the course of treatment. Conclusion: This work presents the first pharmacogenetic report of association between gene polymorphisms and erythema nodosum leprosum treatment with prednisone/thalidomide.

CCR5, MCP-1 and VDR Gene Polymorphisms Are Associated with the Susceptibility to HBV Infection. Indian J Clin Biochem 2018; 34:407-417. [PMID: 31686727 DOI: 10.1007/s12291-018-0772-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2018] [Accepted: 06/16/2018] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
Genetic variants of chemokine and regulatory cytokines play functional roles in chronic HBV infection. The objective of the study, was to evaluate the association between the CCR5D32, CCR5-2459A/G, MCP-1-2518A/G, VDR-APa1A/C, VDR-Taq1T/C SNPs and HBV susceptibility, in samples of Iranian populations. The CCR5D32, CCR5-2459A/G, MCP1-2518A/G, VDR-APa1A/C, VDR-Taq1T/C polymorphisms were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction and PCR-RFLP using 100 chronic HBV infected (HBV) patients, 40 spontaneously recovered HBV (SR) subjects and 100 healthy controls (C). Also, serum levels of protein were monitored. The study showed that the existence of CCR5-2459A, MCP1-2518G and VDR-CC alleles significantly increased risk of chronic HBV infection. In addition, WtAGCC haplotype had a higher frequency in HBV patients than C and SR groups and might relate to the natural history of the infection. Statistical analysis indicated positive correlations between CCR5-2459A/G, MCP1-2518A/G, VDR-APa1A/C, VDR-Taq1T/C genotypes and serum levels of the CCR5, MCP-1 and VDR in HBV patients. According to the statistical analysis, significant associations with susceptibility to chronic HBV infection was observed with CCR5-2459A/G, MCP1-2518A/G, VDR-APa1A/C, VDR-Taq1T/C polymorphisms. In addition, no association of the CCR5D32 SNP with the disease was found.
