Genetic association study of P2x7 A1513C(rs 3751143) polymorphism and susceptibility to pulmonary tuberculosis: A meta-analysis based on the findings of 11 case-control studies

Objective:To summarize the precise association between pulmonary tuberculosis(PTB) and P2x7 A1513 C gene polymorphism.Methods:PubMed and Google Scholar web-databases were searched for the studies reporting the association of P2x7 A1513 C polymorphism and PTB risk.A meta-analysis was performed for the selected case-control studies and pooled odds ratios(ORs) and 95%confidence intervals(95%CIs) were calculated for all the genetic models.Results:Eleven studies comprising 2 678 controls and 2 113 PTB cases were included in this meta-analysis.We observed overall no significant risk in all the five genetic models.When stratified population by the ethnicity,Caucasian population failed to show any risk of PTB in all the genetics models.In Asian ethnicity,variant allele(C vs.A:P=0.001;QR=1.375,95%CI=1.159-1.632) and heterozygous genotype(AC vs.AA:P=0.001;OR=1.570,95%CI=1.269-1.944) demonstrated significant increased risk of PTB.Likewise,recessive genetic model(CC+AC vs.AA:P=0.001;OR=1.540,95%CI= 1.255-1.890) also demonstrated increased risk of PTB in Asians.Conclusions:Our meta-analysis did not suggest the association of P2x7 A1513 C polymorphism with PTB risk in overall or separately in Caucasian population.However,it plays a significant risk factor for predisposing PTB in Asians.Future larger sample and expression studies are needed to validate this association.

Association of Interleukin-6-174G/C Polymorphism with the Risk of Diabetic Nephropathy in Type 2 Diabetes:A Meta-analysis

Previous studies reported the association between interleukin-6(IL-6)-174G/C gene polymorphism and the risk of diabetic nephropathy in type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DN).However,the results remain controversial.In the present study,we conducted a meta-analysis to further examine this relationship between IL-6-174G/C gene polymorphism and T2DN.Three databases(PubMed,SinoMed and ISI Web of Science)were used to search clinical case-control studies about IL-6-174G/C polymorphism and T2DN published until Apr.14,2018.Fixed-or random-effects n lodels were used to calculate the effect sizes of odds ratio(OR)and 95%confide nee intervals(95%CI).Moreover,subgroup analysis was performed in tenns of the excretion rate of albuminuria.All the statistical analyses were con ducted using Stata 12.0.A total of 11 case-control studies were included in this study,involving 1203 cases of T2DN and 1571 cases of T2DM without DN.Metaanalysis showed that there was an association between IL-6-174G/C polymorphism and increased risk of T2DN under the allelic and recessive genetic models(G vs.C:OR=1.10,95%CI 1.03-1」&P=0.006;GG vs.CC+GC:OR=1.11,95%CI 1.02-1.21,P=0.016).In the subgroup analysis by albuminuria,a significant association of IL-6-174G/C polymorphism with risk of T2DN was noted in the microalbuminuria group under the recessive model(OR=1.54,95%CI 1.02-2.32,P=0.038).In conclusion,this meta-analysis suggests that IL-6-174G/C gene polymorphism is associated with the risk of T2DN.

Objective To investigate the association between the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene C677T(MTHFR C677T)polymorphism and diabetic retinopathy(DR).Methods A total of 6971 subjects including 2707 DR patients and 4264 controls from 23 studies were enrolled in the study.A random-effects model was applied to estimate the overall effects and the stratified effects of the MTHFR C677T polymorphism on the risk of DR,and study quality was also assessed.Results Strong associations were observed between the MTHFR C677T polymorphism and DR.The carries of MTHFR C677T were more likely to be found in the DR group in relative to the healthy control group with odds ratio 1.6&2.55,and 2.31 respectively in allele contrast model(T vs.C,95%CZ:1.29-2.18,P<0.001,f=7&4%),homozygous model(TT vs.CC,95%CZ:1.70-3.83,P=0.008,72=54.4%)and dominant model(TT+CT vs.CC,95%CZ:1.62-3.29,P<0.001,12=74.7%).This association can also be found in contrast to the Ned(non-complicated diabetic mellitus)group(allele contrast,OR—1.50,95%Ch 1.07-2.11,P=0.032,I2=62.1%;homozygous,OR—2.39,9S%CZ:1.06-5.38,P=0.017,Z2=66.7%;dominant,OR=1.59,95%CZ:0.97-2.62,P=0.056,I2=56.5%).For the heterozygous model(CT vs.CC),the association was significant in contrast to the healthy control group(OR=1.46,95%CZ:1.64-3.69,P=0,P=77.3%),while in contrast to the Ned control group the association was not statistically meaningful(OR=1.38,95%CZ:0.87-2.18,P=0.131,Z2=43.7%).For the recessive model,1.92-fold increased risk was found only in contrast to the Ned control group(95%C1:1.07-3.43,P=0.064,P=55.0%).There was no significant association found in the models in contrast to the DM control group.Conclusion In this meta-analysis,we found an association between the MTHFR C677T polymorphism and DR,especially in contrast to the Ned control group.Further studies are required to establish more definite relationship.

Association of UCP3,APN,and TNF-α Gene Polymorphisms with Type 2 Diabetes in a Population of Northern Chinese Han Patients

We observed the polymorphism distribution and coaction of uncoupling protein 3（UCP3）-55C/T,adiponectin（APN）＋45T/G and tumor necrosis factor（TNF）-α-308G/A on the onset and development of T2DM in a Northern Chinese Han population of 213[100 type 2 diabete（T2DM） patients and 113 health control subjects] by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphisum（PCR-RFLP） method.Results demonstrate the polymorphism of UCP3-55C/T,APN＋45T/G,and TNF-α-308G/A related to T2DM onset and developement.And the individuals carrying UCP3-55T,APN＋45G and TNF-α-308A allele had higher T2DM risk.Those results are the first report to evaluate the association of the coaction of UCP3,APN,TNF-α genes polymorphism on T2DM risk and the susceptibility of T2DM in the Northern Chinese Han population.

Association between the SUMO4 M55V Polymorphism and Susceptibility to Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus:A Meta-analysis

Objective The aim of this study is to determine whether the SUMO4 M55V polymorphism is associated with susceptibility to type 2 diabetes mellitus （T2DM）. Methods A meta-analysis was performed to detect the potential association of the SUMO4 M55V polymorphism and susceptibility to T2DM under dominant, recessive, co-dominant （homogeneous and heterogeneous）, and additive models. Results A total of eight articles including 10 case-control studies, with a total of 2932 cases and 2679 controls, were included in this meta-analysis. The significant association between the SUMO4 M55V polymorphism and susceptibility to T2DM was observed in the dominant model （GG ＋ GA versus AA： OR = 1.21, 95% CI = 1.05-1.40, P = 0.009）, recessive model （GG versus GA ＋ AA： OR = 1.29, 95% CI = 1.07-1.356, P = 0.010）, homozygous model （GG versus AA： OR = 1.41, 95% CI = 1.06-1.56, P = 0.001）, and additive model （G versus A： OR = 1.18, 95% CI = 1.08-1.29, P = 0.001）, and marginally significant in the heterozygous model （GA versus AA： OR = 1.16, 95% CI = 0.98-1.36, P = 0.080）. In subgroup analyses, significant associations were observed in the Chinese population under four genetic models excluding the heterozygous model, whereas no statistically significant associations were observed in the Japanese population under each of the five genetic models. Conclusion The meta-analysis demonstrated that the G allele of the SUMO4 M55V polymorphism could be a susceptible risk locus to T2DM, mainly in the Chinese population, while the association in other ethnic population needs to be further validated in studies with relatively large samples.

Association of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF1α) 1772C/T genepolymorphism with susceptibility to renal cell carcinoma/prostatecancer

In this study,we used a meta-analysis method to evaluate the relationship between hypoxia-inducible factor-1α(HIF1α)1772C/T gene polymorphism(rs 11549465)and renal cell carcinoma(RCC)/prostate cancer risk.We searched for relevant studies(before March 1,2019)on Cochrane Library,Embase,and PubMed.Studies meeting the inclusion criteria were recruited into this meta-analysis.The outcome of dichotomous data was showed in the way of odds ratios(OR),and 95%confidence intervals(CI)were also counted.In this investigation,there was no association between HIF1α1772C/T gene polymorphism and susceptibility to RCC in Caucasians,Asians as well as overall populations.In addition,HIF1α1772C/T gene polymorphism was not found to be relevant to the survival in RCC.Interestingly,the T allele was relevant to prostate cancer risk in all populations,but not in Caucasians and Asians.However,the TT genotype and the CC genotype were not related to prostate cancer susceptibility in Asian,Caucasian,and all populations.In conclusion,the T allele of the HIF1α1772C/T gene polymorphism was related to prostate cancer risk in the overall populations.

[ Objective] The research aimed to discuss the relationship between the polymorphism of PPARy.2 gene and the susceptibility of type 2 diabetes mellitus （T2DM） in Guangxi Bama mini-pigs. [ Method] 24 Guangxi Bama mini-pigs were fed with high-fat and high-sucrose diet, and partial sequences of exon 2 of PPARy-2 gene were amplified by using PCR method. In addition, the contents of fasting blood glucose and insulin （INS） in Guangxi Bama mini-pigs were determined, and the glucose tolerance test （GTT） was also carried out. [ Result] There was one SNP site （19813A/G） Jn partial sequence of exon 2 of the cloned PPAFly-2 gene, and AA （7 pigs） and AG （17 pigs） genotype were detected. The contents of fasting insulin and 60-min blood glucose in GTT in AG-genotype Guangxi Bama mini-pigs were significantly higher than those of AA genotype （ P 〈0.05）, while the incidence of T2DM in AG-genotype Guangxi Bama mini-pigs （71.4%） was obviously higher than that of AA gen- otype （5.9%）. [ Conclusion] The polymorphism of 19813A/G in exon 2 of PPARy-2 gene was related with the susceptibility of T2DM in Guangxi Bama mini-pigs.

Study of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Gene Polymorphism in Egyptian Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus with Diabetic Kidney Disease

Objective: Diabetic kidney disease DKD (Diabetic nephropathy DN) is considered one of the chronic micro vascular complications of diabetes mellitus and considered the commonest cause leading to chronic renal failure and chronic renal dialysis. Genetic susceptibility has been implicated in DKD. The angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) is one of the key roles in the renin angiotensin system cascade by converting angiotensin I to angiotensin II which plays a key role in regulation of blood pressure as well as electrolytes and fluid balance. This study addressed the association of (ACE) gene polymorphisms with DN in Egyptian (T2DM) patients. Methods: Our research comprised of 75 cases of T2DM with diabetic kidney disease, 100 cases of T2DM without DKD and 94 healthy volunteers. Different genotypes of ACE gene were determined by SSP-PCR analysis. Results: Gene polymorphism of ACE (DD, ID, II) in diabetic patient with DKD is 44%, 52%, 4% respectively and for T2DM individuals without DKD is 23%, 72%, 5% respectively. (DD) had significant higher frequencies in T2DM patients with DKD compared to those without DKD (p < 0.005) and (ID) had significant higher frequencies in T2DM without DKD (p < 0.0001). These results indicated that there is an association between ACE gene polymorphisms and susceptibility of diabetic patients to be affected by diabetic kidney disease. Conclusion: From our results, we can conclude that genotype of ACE in Egypt DD is the genotype of cases diabetic kidney disease. So the presence of D allele has a significant relation with diabetic kidney disease. Our data confirm the role of ACE in its relationship with diabetic kidney disease in Egyptian type 2 diabetic patients.

Metabolic basis of solute carrier transporters in treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus

Solute carriers(SLCs) constitute the largest superfamily of membrane transporter proteins.These transporters, present in various SLC families, play a vital role in energy metabolism by facilitating the transport of diverse substances, including glucose, fatty acids, amino acids, nucleotides, and ions.They actively participate in the regulation of glucose metabolism at various steps, such as glucose uptake(e.g., SLC2A4/GLUT4), glucose reabsorption(e.g., SLC5A2/SGLT2), thermogenesis(e.g., SLC25A7/UCP-1), and ATP production(e.g., SLC25A4/ANT1 and SLC25A5/ANT2). The activities of these transporters contribute to the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM). Notably, SLC5A2 has emerged as a valid drug target for T2DM due to its role in renal glucose reabsorption, leading to groundbreaking advancements in diabetes drug discovery. Alongside SLC5A2, multiple families of SLC transporters involved in the regulation of glucose homeostasis hold potential applications for T2DM therapy. SLCs also impact drug metabolism of diabetic medicines through gene polymorphisms, such as rosiglitazone(SLCO1B1/OATP1B1) and metformin(SLC22A1-3/OCT1-3 and SLC47A1, 2/MATE1, 2). By consolidating insights into the biological activities and clinical relevance of SLC transporters in T2DM, this review offers a comprehensive update on their roles in controlling glucose metabolism as potential drug targets.

Replication of association study between type 2 diabetes mellitus and IGF2BP2 in Han Chinese population

Background The association between IGF2BP2 and type 2 diabetes mellitus （T2DM） has been repeatedly confirmed among different ethnic populations. However, in several genome-wide association studies （GWAS） from the Chinese Han population, the gene IGF2BP2 has not been replicated. The results of relevant studies for the association between IGF2BP2 and T2DM showed controversy in Chinese Han population. It is necessary to systematically evaluate the contribution of common variants in IGF2BP2 to T2DM in Chinese Han population.
