Opis:
Background. The mechanism of steroid resistance in children with the nephrotic syndrome is yet unknown. About 20% of patients demonstrate steroid unresponsiveness and progress to end stage renal disease. Aberrant SOCS3 and SOCS5 expression in steroid resistant and sensitive patients has previously been demonstrated. Here, we investigate genetic and epigenetic mechanisms of regulation of SOCS3 and SOCS5 transcription in nephrotic children. Methods. 76 patients with the nephrotic syndrome (40 steroid resistant and 36 steroid sensitive) and 33 matched controls were included in this study. We performed genotyping of a total of 34 single nucleotide polymorphisms for SOCS3 and SOCS5 promoters and evaluated their methylation status using MS-PCR and QMSP methods. Results. Steroid resistant patients had a significantly lower methylation of one region of SOCS3 promoter in comparison with steroid sensitive patients and controls (p < 0.0001). However, the relative methylation level in the steroid sensitive patients and controls differed significantly even before the first steroid dose (p = 0.001758). Other SOCS3 and SOCS5 promoter regions displayed no differences in methylation or were fully methylated/unmethylated in all study groups, showing site-specific methylation. The allele and genotype distribution for SOCS3 and SOCS5 markers did not differ statistically between the groups. Conclusions. We demonstrate an epigenetic mechanism of SOCS3 up-regulation in steroid resistant children with the nephrotic syndrome. The assessment of methylation/unmethylation of SOCS3 promoter might be an early marker for steroid responsiveness in NS patients.

Opis:
Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) is an enzyme with proteolytic activity against matrix proteins, particularly basement membrane constituents. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at -1306, which disrupts a Sp1-type promoter site (CCACC box), displayed a strikingly lower promoter activity with the T allele. In the present study, we investigate whether this MMP-2 SNP is associated with susceptibility to breast cancer in the Saudi population. Ninety breast cancer patients and 92 age matched controls were included in this study. TaqMan Allele Discrimination assay and DNA sequencing techniques were used for genotyping. The results showed that, the frequency of MMP-2 CC wild genotype was lower in breast cancer patients when compared with healthy controls (0.65 versus 0.79). The homozygous CC (OR=2, χ2=5.36, p=0.02) and heterozygous CT (OR=1.98, χ2=4.1, p=0.04) showing significantly high risk of breast cancer in the investigated group. In conclusion our data suggest that the MMP-2 C-1306T polymorphism may be associated with increased breast cancer risk in the Saudi population.

Opis:
Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is the most common reason of proteinuria in children and can be caused by the pathology of renal glomeruli. Steroid therapy is typically used in this disorder. It has been shown that MIF is a cytokine which counteracts the immunosuppressive properties of glucocorticoids. The aim of this study was looking for a correlation between MIF polymorphisms and genetic susceptibility to steroid resistance in children with INS (Idiopathic NS). Methods: The study was performed in 71 patients with INS including SRNS (steroid resistance nephrotic syndrome) (41) and SSNS (steroid sensitive nephrotic syndrome) (30) and in 30 control subjects. We employed Sanger sequencing and capillary electrophoresis. Linkage disequilibrium was made using Haploview and PHASE. Results: We didn't observe a statistical significance between SNPs detected in patients with INS and controls. Our studies revealed statistical significance for two polymorphisms: rs2070767C > T and rs2000466T > G between patients with SRNS and SSNS. The results for rs34383331T > A are close to being statistically significant. Statistical significance was revealed for CATT5/CATT6 genotype in SRNS group vs SSNS group (OR=4.604, 95%CI=1.356-15.632, p=0.0168). We found that the frequency of 5/X-CATT genotype compared with X/X-CATT genotype was significantly higher in SRNS patients vs SSNS (OR=3.167, 95%CI=1.046-9.585, p=0.0426). In linkage disequilibrium analysis we didn't show involvement in susceptibility to INS and steroid sensitive phenotype. Conclusions: Our results suggest that the role of MIF polymorphisms in the susceptibility to positive response to steroid therapy is still unresolved. It indicates that MIF may be involved in indirect and complex molecular mechanisms of steroid activity in hormone-dependent metabolic pathways in children with INS. Because of ambiguous findings, pleiotropic features of this cytokine require that more research should be undertaken.

Opis:
Autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs), including Hashimoto' s thyroiditis (HT) and Graves' disease (GD), are related to environmental and genetic factors. We analyzed the association of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) gene two polymorphisms (+49 A/G, -318 C/T) with HT and GD development in Polish children, and correlated both polymorphisms with the production of thyroid autoantibodies (TPOAb and TgAb). The study involved 49 AITD patients (age 10-19) with HT (n=25) or GD (n=24) and 69 healthy controls. SNP genotyping was performed using genomic DNA and TaqMan® probes. The obtained results indicated that CTLA-4 +49 GG genotype was significantly more frequent in both HT and GD patients, whereas the AA genotype was more common in controls. CTLA-4-318 CT genotype was significantly more frequent in AITD, and the CC genotype more often occurred in controls. Significantly higher median TPOAb and TgAb values were associated with G allele in HT, and with T allele in GD patients. Concluding, both studied polymorphisms seem to be important genetic determinants of the risk of HT and GD, and appear to be associated with a predisposition to high levels of TAbs and clinical AITD. The obtained results give more information on the distribution of the CTLA-4 polymorphism in Polish AITD children, and further support the proposal that the CTLA-4 gene plays an important role in a TAb production.

Opis:
UBE2E2 encodes ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2E2, which plays an important role in the synthesis and secretion of insulin. Two previous studies indicated that SNPs in UBE2E2 were associated with risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in the Japanese and Korean populations, respectively. We examined the association of one SNP in this gene, rs7612463, with the risk of T2DM in 1957 Han participants in northeastern China, using an SNPscanTM Kit. rs7612463 genotype was significantly associated with risk for T2DM under various genetic models, including an additive model (P = 0.004), a dominant model (P = 0.024), and a recessive model (P = 0.008). The AA genotype was associated with a significantly decreased risk for T2DM (P = 0.004, OR = 0.513, 95% CI = 0.325-0.810) after adjustment for age, gender, and BMI. The heterozygous genotype, AC, was associated with increased risk for total cholesterol (mmol l-1; P = 0.031) and triglycerides (mmol l-1; P = 0.039) in control individuals. Our results show that rs7612463 is associated with T2DM, with homozygotes of the AA genotype at decreased risk for T2DM in the Chinese population. Additionally, heterozygotes may have decreased risk of T2DM due to insulin resistance.

Opis:
Aims. This study aimed to investigate CHRNA3 (rs8040868) and PHACTR2 (rs9390123) single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for association with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) risk in a Chinese population, and whether the environment affects the genetic polymorphisms. Methods. This case and control study included 500 NSCLC patients and 500 age-matched healthy controls. CHRNA3 (rs8040868) and PHACTR2 (rs9390123) SNPs were genotyped and associated for NSCLC risk by computing the odds ratio and 95% confidence interval from multivariate unconditional logistic regression analyses with adjustment of age. Results. The minor allele frequency (MAF) of CHRNA3 (rs8040868) and PHACTR2 (rs9390123) was 0.350 (C) and 0.397 (C), respectively. The frequencies of genotype and allele in CHRNA3 (rs8040868) and PHACTR2 (rs9390123) were not significantly different between the cases and controls, or between either of the subgroups. Conclusion. Although rs8040868 and rs9390123 SNPs are not associated with NSCLC risk in Chinese population, the results strongly suggest that geographical agents interact with human genetic polymorphism independent of ethnic background.
