DNMT1错义突变与神经管畸形易感性的相关性研究

DNMT1(DNA(cytosine-5)-methyltransferase 1)在神经管的闭合过程中发挥重要作用,已有研究表明,DNMT1敲除的小鼠会出现神经管畸形(neural tube defects,NTDs)的表型.为了进一步探索DNMT1基因错义突变与神经管畸形发生的相关性,本研究对来自中国汉族人群的101例神经管畸形患者血液样本和171例正常对照血液样本中提取的基因组DNA进行了全基因组测序.在这些病例的DNM T1基因上一共检测到了5个病例特有的错义突变,其中c.2626G＞A和c.4381C＞T突变在不同物种间高度保守,并且c.4381C＞T突变在公共数据库中没有记录.蛋白免疫印迹实验显示c.290A＞G,c.358G＞C,c.410C＞G,c.2626G＞A和c.4381C＞T这5个突变都使DNMT1蛋白表达量下调.免疫荧光实验显示这5个突变不影响DNMT1蛋白的核定位.我们的研究表明病例样本中DNMT1上鉴定到的5个病例特有的错义突变可能通过下调DNMT1的蛋白表达量而导致神经管畸形的发生.

Absence of association between transforming growth factor B1 polymorphisms and gastric cancer: a meta-analysis

Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) is a ubiquitous and essential cytokine that plays a dual role in the development of cancer: tumor suppressor in the early stage of carcinogenesis and tumor promoter in the later stage of carcinogenesis. To date, several studies have focused on the association between the TGFB1 polymorphisms and risk of gastric cancer. Conflicting results, however, have been reported. We conducted a meta-analysis to analyze more precisely the effects of the TGFB1 C-509T, T869C, and G915C polymorphisms on the risk of gastric cancer. No significant association between the TGFB1 C-509T, T869C, and G915C polymorphisms and risk of gastric cancer was observed in overall analyses and subgroup analyses according to ethnicity.

Multilocus analysis of the association of polymorphic variants of inflammation genes with ischemic stroke in Russians

Carriage frequencies of alleles and genotypes of polymorphic loci of inflammation genes (49A>G CTLA4, 41G>A and 87C>T PDE4D, ?590C>T IL4, ?308A>G TNF, 252G>A LTA, 874A>T IFNG, ?509С>Т, 869T>C and 915G>C TGFB1) were determined in a sample of 200 patients diagnosed with ischemic stroke and in the control group similar in gender and age (146 individuals), all ethnic Russians. The positive association of the allele PDE4D*87C (р = 0.028) and genotype TGFB1*?509Т/Т (р = 0.02) carriage with ischemic stroke was shown. The association of the disease with the carriage of the allele PDE4D*41А (р = 0.009) in individuals under the age of 60 and with carriage of the allele IFNG*874Т (р = 0.02) in individuals older than 60 was observed among the subgroups of patients stratified by age when they suffered the stroke compared to a control group of the same age. In subgroups stratified by gender, carriage of the genotype TGFB1*915G/G (р = 0.0015) was identified as a risk factor in male patients, while no significant differences between female patients and healthy women were observed. Multilocus analysis was undertaken to search for the association of several combinations of studied gene variants with ischemic stroke. The polymorphic locus–174G>C of the IL6 gene, for which an association with the disease was previously demonstrated, was also included in this analysis. The disease-predisposing biallelic combinations include the IL6*?174G, PDE4D*87C, TGFB1*?509Т and TGFB1*915G alleles. In the subgroups stratified by gender, the allelic combinations mainly include the similar risk alleles as in the total group, while between the subgroups stratified by age (patients who suffered the first stroke at the age of 18 and no older than 60 years and older than 60 years), greater differences were observed. However, a new risk allele, LTA*252G, was identified in combination with PDE4D*41А in women. These findings demonstrate the important role of inflammation in ischemic stroke. The identified single and combined markers may be used further to determine an individual risk for ischemic stroke.     

Genetic polymorphisms in transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGFB1) and childhood asthma and atopy

Transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGFB1) may influence asthma by modulating allergic airway inflammation and airway remodeling. The role of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of TGFB1 in asthma remains inconclusive. We examined TGFB1 SNPs in relation to asthma risk and degree of atopy among 546 case-parent triads, consisting of asthmatics aged 4–17 years and their parents in Mexico City. Atopy to 24 aeroallergens was determined by skin prick tests. We genotyped five TGFB1 SNPs, including two known functional SNPs [C-509T (rs1800469), T869C (rs1982073)] and three others (rs7258445, rs1800472, rs8179181), using TaqMan and Masscode assays. We analyzed the data using log-linear and polytomous logistic methods. Three associated SNPs, including the two known functional SNPs, were statistically significantly related to asthma risk. Individuals carrying the T allele of C-509T had an increased risk of asthma [relative risk (RR) = 1.42, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.08–1.87 for one copy; RR (95%CI) = 1.95 (1.36–2.78) for two copies]. For T869C, the RRs (95%CI) were 1.47 (1.09–1.98) for one and 2.00 (1.38–2.90) for two copies of the C allele. Similar results were found for rs7258445. The haplotype containing all three risk alleles conferred an increased risk of asthma (RR = 1.48, 95% CI = 1.11–1.95 for one copy; RR = 1.77, 95% CI = 1.22–2.57 for two copies). These three SNPs were also related to the degree of atopy. This largest study to date of genetic variation in TGFB1 and asthma and atopy adds to increasing evidence for a role in these disorders.     

Genetic polymorphisms and plasma levels of transforming growth factor-β1 in Chinese patients with tuberculosis in Hong Kong

Susceptibility to tuberculosis (TB) may be affected by host genetic factors. Elevated levels of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β₁) were found in plasma of patients with active TB compared with those of healthy contacts. To investigate the association of TGF-β₁ gene polymorphisms (C-509T and T869C) and plasma levels with the risk of TB in Hong Kong Chinese adults, a case-control study was carried out on 174 active TB patients and 174 healthy controls matched for age, gender and smoking. Blood samples from 180 blood donors served as another control group. Genotyping was carried out on genomic DNA using polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Plasma TGF-β₁ was measured by commercially available ELISA kit. We found no differences in the distribution of genotypes or alleles of TGF-β₁ gene polymorphisms at C-509T and T869C between patients and either group of healthy controls. Patients with TB had elevated plasma TGF-β₁ levels compared with healthy controls irrespective of their genotypes (p < 0.001). In conclusion, TGF-β₁ gene polymorphism at C-509T and T869C is not associated with TB susceptibility in Hong Kong Chinese adults, but elevated plasma TGF-β₁ levels suggests that this cytokine may play a role in the pathogenesis of tuberculosis.
