Determination of IL-23 receptor expression and gene polymorphism (rs1884444) in Iranian patients with ankylosing spondylitis. BMC Rheumatol 2024; 8:14. [PMID: 38605394 PMCID: PMC11007996 DOI: 10.1186/s41927-024-00383-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2023] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 04/13/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Through investigating genetic variations, it has been demonstrated that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the IL-23 receptor (IL23R) gene have a critical role in the pathophysiology of ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Here, we investigated whether the IL23R variant (rs1884444) is associated with AS in the Iranian population. METHODS AND MATERIAL In this research, we analyzed rs1884444 in a group of 425 patients with AS and 400 matched controls. For DNA extraction, the phenol/chloroform technique was utilized. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were obtained from the whole blood of 39 patients and 43 healthy controls and total RNA was extracted. Genotyping was performed by amplification-refractory mutation system (ARMS)-PCR method. Afterward, the expression level of IL23R was analyzed by the real-time quantitative (Q)-PCR method. RESULTS We observed no significant association between the distribution of alleles and genotypes of rs1884444 and susceptibility to AS. In addition, the expression level of IL23R did not differ between PBMCs from AS patients compared to the control group (P = 0.167). Furthermore, the relative expression level of IL23R was positively correlated with the BASDAI (P < 0.01) and BASFI (P < 0.05) scores of the patients. CONCLUSION It appears that IL23R polymorphism (rs1884444) and the level of gene expression might not contribute to the susceptibility to AS in the Iranian population. The correlation of IL23R expression with the level of BASDAI and BASFI scores in patients may be due to the role of the IL-23/IL-23R signaling cascade in inflammation and exert a critical role in the development of AS.

Barac IS, Văcăraș V, Iancu M, Mureșanu DF, Procopciuc LM. Interleukins (IL-23 and IL-27) serum levels: Relationships with gene polymorphisms and disease patterns in multiple sclerosis patients under treatment with interferon and glatiramer acetate. Heliyon 2023; 9:e17427. [PMID: 37484355 PMCID: PMC10361377 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e17427] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2022] [Revised: 04/22/2023] [Accepted: 06/16/2023] [Indexed: 07/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Background interleukin 23 (IL-23) is an important factor involved in the survival and proliferation of T helper 17 cells (Th17), known for their implication in multiple sclerosis (MS). By contrast, IL-27 regulates and modulates the function of T lymphocytes, in particular as a suppressor of Th17 differentiation. The aims of the study were i) to test the association of cytokines with the clinical and genetic characteristics in each of the multiple sclerosis groups (CIS - clinically isolated syndrome, RRMS - relapsing-remitting MS and SPMS - Secondary progressive MS) and ii) to evaluate the association between serum levels of IL-23 and IL-27 with T4730C (IL-27), A964G (IL-27) and R381Q (IL-23) gene polymorphisms in RRMS patients. Methods Blood samples were obtained from 82 patients diagnosed with MS under treatment with glatiramer acetate (GA), interferon beta (IFN) 1 A and 1 B. IL-23 and IL-27 serum concentrations were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA). Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was used in order to determine the genotypes for R381Q (IL-23) polymorphisms, T4730C (IL-27) and A964G (IL-27). Results Patients with SPMS, RRMS and CIS respectively differed significantly regarding age distribution (p = 0.003) but the studied MS groups were similar regarding age at disease onset (p = 0.528) and treatment type (p = 0.479). A significant increase of mean serum IL-27 was noticed in cases with early onset (age at disease onset <28 years) of RRMS (mean difference: 4.2 pg/ml, 95% CI: 0.8-5.3 pg/ml), compared to cases with later onset of RRMS (age at disease onset ≥28 years). RRMS patients with wild GG genotype of R381Q (IL-23) showed a significant increase of mean serum IL-23 than patients with variant AG genotype (mean difference: 115.1 pg/ml, 95% CI: 8.6-221.6 pg/ml). A trend for a higher increase in means of serum IL-23 (p = 0.086) was observed in RRMS patients carriers of AA genotype of A964G (IL-27) polymorphism in comparison with patients with AG or GG genotypes. We found no significant monotonic correlation of IL-27, IL-23 serum levels with age at disease onset (years) and duration of disease (p > 0.05) in the CIS and SPMS group respectively but a significant correlation between IL-23 and the duration of disease-modifying treatment was noticed only in the SPMS group. Conclusions The results of the current study suggest an association between IL-23 levels and the R381Q gene polymorphism and also a relationship between IL-27 serum levels and early age at disease onset in RRMS patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Autoimmune diseases are a kind of chronic diseases for which the immune system loses tolerance to autoantigens. This meta-analysis' purpose is to determine whether there exists a correlation between IL-23R polymorphism and common autoimmune diseases like ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS We searched the relevant literatures up to September 2021 and used different effect models for meta-analysis. 95% confidence interval (95% CI) and odds ratio (OR) were used to determine the relationship between rs10889677 (A/C) polymorphism and AS as well as RA. Finally, to promote the reliability of results, the trial sequential analysis (TSA) has also been applied and we searched the data related to autoimmune diseases (AS, RA) on genome-wide association studies (GWAS). RESULTS Generally, 31 studies were included. Rs10889677 (A/C) was significantly correlated with the susceptibility to AS and RA among the general individuals (p < .05). Moreover, there existed a relevance between allele A and AS as well as RA in Caucasians (p < .05). AA genotype increased the risk of autoimmune diseases in Mongolians. As a result, the robustness of meta-analysis has further been proved by TSA. CONCLUSION IL-23R (rs10889677 A/C) A allele was a risk gene for AS and RA in the general population, especially in Caucasians. AA genotype increased the risk of AS and RA in Mongolians.

Potential Contribution of IL-27 and IL-23 Gene Polymorphisms to Multiple Sclerosis Susceptibility: An Association Analysis at Genotype and Haplotype Level. J Clin Med 2021; 11:jcm11010037. [PMID: 35011777 PMCID: PMC8745323 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11010037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2021] [Revised: 12/17/2021] [Accepted: 12/18/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: interleukin 23 (IL-23) and interleukin 27 (IL-27) modulate the activity of T helper 17 cells (Th17) with critical roles in autoimmune diseases and multiple sclerosis (MS). The genes responsible for cytokine generation are highly influenced by the presence of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in main regions such as regulatory sequences or in promoter regions, contributing to disease susceptibility and evolution. The present study analyzed the associations of IL-23 and IL-27 SNPs with susceptibility to multiple sclerosis. (2) Methods: We performed a case-control study including 252 subjects: 157 patients diagnosed with MS and 95 controls. We used polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) to determine the genotypes for IL-27 T4730C (rs 181206), IL-27 A964G (rs 153109), and IL-23 receptor gene (IL-23R) G1142A (rs 11209026). (3) Results: The IL27-T4730C gene polymorphism was significantly associated with an increased odds of MS under the dominant genetic model (TC + CC variant genotypes, adjusted odds ratio OR = 4.06, 95% CI: 2.14–7.83, p-value = 0.000007, Q-value = 0.000063). Individuals carrying the IL-27 A924G variant (AG + GG) genotype presented higher odds of MS compared to non-carriers under the dominant model (adjusted OR = 1.93, 95% CI: 1.05–3.51, p-value = 0.0324, Q-value = 0.05832) and the allelic genetic model (unadjusted p-value = 0.015, OR = 1.58, 95% CI: 1.09–2.28), while IL-23-R381Q SNP conferred a decreased odds of MS under a codominant model of inheritance (adjusted OR = 0.26, 95% CI: 0.08–0.92, p-value = 0.0276, Q-value = 0.058) and an allelic model (unadjusted p-value = 0.008, OR = 0.23, 95% CI: 0.07–0.75). In an additive model with adjustment for age group (≤40 years vs. >40 years), sex and smoking, patients carrying the G-C (A964G, T4730C) haplotype had a 3.18 increased risk (95% CI: 1.74–5.81, p < 0.001) to develop multiple sclerosis. (4) Conclusions: The results of the current study showed a significant relationship of IL-27-A964G and IL-27-T4730C polymorphisms with increased risk of MS, and also the protective role of the IL-23-R381Q polymorphism. Moreover, the haplotype-based analysis proposed the mutant G-C (A924G, T4730C) as a significant risk haplotype for the development of MS.

Abstract
DNA methylation of Interleukin-12B (IL-12B) and miR-34b was proved to affect the expression of IL-12B and miR-34b, which were found to be involved in the pathogenesis of ankylosing spondylitis (AS). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the role of IL-12B and miR-34b in AS remain to be explored. AS patients were divided into four groups according to their status of DNA methylation of miR-34b and IL-12B by bisulfite sequencing: HYPER-miR-34b + HYPO-IL-12B, HYPER-miR-34b + HYPER-IL-12B, HYPO-miR-34b + HYPER-IL-12B and HYPO-miR-34b + HYPO-IL-12B groups. Functional indicators were examined for patients with different status of DNA methylation in their miR-34b and IL-12B promoters. QPCR was performed to examine the expression of miR-34b and IL-12B mRNA under different conditions. ELISA was used to measure the expression of IL-12B p40 in the peripheral blood. Western blot was used to analyze the expression of IL-12B proteins. Luciferase assay was carried out to explore the suppressive role of miR-34b in IL-12B expression. The level of Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score with C-reactive protein (ASDAS-CRP) was gradually increased in HYPER-miR-34b + HYPO-IL-12B,HYPER-miR-34b + HYPER-IL-12B,HYPO-miR-34b + HYPER-IL-12B and HYPO-miR-34b + HYPO-IL-12B groups, whereas the levels of Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI) and Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index (BASMI) were significantly elevated in the HYPO-miR-34b + HYPO-IL-12B group and diminished in the HYPER-miR-34b + HYPO-IL-12B group. The expression of miR-34b in the PBMCs and peripheral blood was remarkably higher in the HYPER-miR-34b + HYPO-IL-12B and HYPER-miR-34b + HYPER-IL-12B groups, whereas the expression of IL-12B was gradually decreased in the HYPER-miR-34b + HYPO-IL-12B, HYPER-miR-34b + HYPER-IL-12B, HYPO-miR-34b + HYPER-IL-12B and HYPO-miR-34b + HYPO-IL-12B groups. Luciferase assays with the transfection of miR-34b precursors suggested that miR-34b strongly suppressed the expression of IL-12B in THP-1 cells. In conclusion, our study demonstrated that hypermethylated miR-34b promoter led to evident upregulation of miR-34b, thus inhibiting the expression of IL-12B and alleviated the severity of ankylosing spondylitis by reducing the levels of factors including ASDAS-CRP, BASFI and BASMI.

Abstract
Background TH17/IL‐23 immune axis is considered to be involved in the pathogenesis of autoimmune and chronic inflammatory diseases. Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is the most frequent autoimmune blistering disease, characterized by the presence of autoantibodies against the components of the dermal‐epidermal junction. Animal studies and characterization of patient samples point toward a contribution of TH17 cells in BP pathogenesis. However, genetic polymorphisms in the genes of TH17/IL‐23 cytokines have not yet been well investigated in BP. Methods Detection of polymorphisms in IL‐17A (rs2275913 and rs3819025), IL‐17F (rs2397084 and rs763780), IL‐17RA (rs2229151), and IL‐23R (rs2201841, rs7530511, rs11209026, and rs10889677) genes were performed following the collection of blood samples and DNA extraction from BP patients and controls. Gene expression of IL‐23R was determined by quantitative RT‐PCR analysis. Results The prevalence of IL‐23R rs7530511 genotypes and alleles, as well as IL‐23R rs2201841 alleles, is significantly different between the BP patients and controls. While the minor C‐allele of IL‐23R rs7530511 is highly present in the patients, the G‐allele distribution of IL‐23R rs2201841 is significantly more prevalent in the control individuals compared to the BP patients. Genotypes and alleles of other SNPs in IL‐17A, IL‐17F, and IL‐17RA were similarly distributed in patients and controls. Conclusions No alteration was found in the gene expression between wild and polymorphic genotypes of IL‐23R (rs2201841 and rs7530511) variations, indicating they do not contribute to altering the levels of gene expression in blood. In summary, our data show that the alleles of two SNPs in IL‐23R rs2201841 and rs7530511 are associated with BP.

Abstract
Gout, the most common inflammatory arthritis, is the result of hyperuricemia and inflammation induced by monosodium urate (MSU) crystal deposition. However, most people with hyperuricemia will never develop gout, implying a molecular-genetic contribution to the development of gout. Recent genomic studies reveal links between certain genetic variations and gout. We highlight recent advances in our understanding of gout as an auto-inflammatory disease. We review the auto-inflammatory aspects of gout, including the inflammasome and thirteen gout-associated inflammatory-pathway genes and associated comorbidities. This information provides important insights into emerging immune-modulating targets in the management of gout, and future novel therapeutic targets in gout treatment. Cumulatively, this has important implications for treating gout as an auto-inflammatory disease, as opposed to a purely metabolic disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine whether interleukin-23R (IL-23R) polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility to ankylosing spondylitis (AS). METHODS Meta-analyses were conducted to determine the associations between IL-23R polymorphisms and AS susceptibility in Europeans, Asians, and all subjects combined. RESULTS A total of 17 studies (21 separate comparisons) were included in this meta-analysis. The meta-analysis revealed a significant association between AS and the two alleles of the rs11209032 polymorphism in all study subjects (odds ratio [OR] = 1.160, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.091-1.204, P < 0.001). Stratification by ethnicity identified a significant association between this polymorphism and AS in Europeans (OR = 1.234, 95% CI = 1.159-1.313, P < 0.001), but not in Asians (OR = 1.003, 95% CI = 0.920-1.219, P = 0.942). Meta-analyses of the rs1004819, rs10489629, rs1343151, rs1495965, rs7517847, and rs11465804 polymorphisms showed the same pattern as shown for rs11209032. The meta-analysis also revealed a significant association between the two alleles of the rs2201841 and rs11209026 polymorphisms and the risk of developing AS in Europeans, but not in Asians. Interestingly, the rs10889677 polymorphism was not found to be associated with AS susceptibility in either Europeans or Asians. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis showed that several IL-23R polymorphisms are associated with the development of AS in Europeans.

Abstract
Although the pathogenic mechanisms underlying axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) are not fully elucidated, several lines of evidence suggest that immune responses mediated by interleukin 17A (IL-17A) play a pivotal role in both diseases. This is best highlighted by the significant clinical efficacy shown with inhibitors of IL-17A in treating axSpA and PsA. Nevertheless, a number of knowledge gaps exist regarding the role of IL-17A in the pathophysiology of spondyloarthritis in man, including its cellular origin, its precise role in discrete disease processes such enthesitis, bone erosion, and bone formation, and the reasons for the discrepant responses to IL-17A inhibition observed in certain other spondyloarthritis manifestations. In this review, we focus on the latest data from studies investigating the role of IL-17A in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and PsA that build on existing and emerging scientific knowledge in the field. Key remaining research questions are also highlighted to guide future research.

Relationship between the IL23R SNPs and Crohn's Disease Susceptibility and Phenotype in the Polish and Bosnian Populations: A Case-Control Study. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2019; 16:ijerph16091551. [PMID: 31052515 PMCID: PMC6539781 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph16091551] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2019] [Revised: 04/26/2019] [Accepted: 04/28/2019] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
It is suggested that IL-23/IL-17 axis and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of IL23R may have crucial role in pathogenesis of Crohn’s disease (CD). Thus, we sought to assess the IL23R SNPs contribution to susceptibility and phenotype of CD. We recruited 117 CD subjects and 117 controls from Poland and 30 CD subjects and 30 controls from Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H). Two common IL23R SNPs: rs1004819, rs7517847 were genotyped using TaqMan SNP assays. In the Polish population it was found that allele rs1004819: A increases the risk of CD, while allele rs7517847: A is protective against disease development. In Poles the co-carriage of two IL23R risk genotypes was associated with increased risk of CD. A significantly increased risk of CD early onset was observed in Poles carrying at least one rs7517847: G allele. It was also found that IL23R SNPs may be associated with structuring/penetrating CD behavior, as alleles rs1004819: A and rs7517847: G were significantly less frequent in patients without complications, from Poland and B&H, respectively. Allele rs1004819: A was also significantly more frequent in Poles with penetrating CD. These results confirm IL23R SNPs contribution to CD susceptibility in the Polish population and suggest their impact on early age of onset and more severe disease course.

Abstract
Background Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) results from the combined effects of susceptibility genes and environmental factors. Polymorphisms in genes regulating inflammation may explain part of the heritability of AS. Methods Using a candidate gene approach in this case-control study, 51 mainly functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes regulating inflammation were assessed in 709 patients with AS and 795 controls. Data on the patients with AS were obtained from the DANBIO registry where patients from all of Denmark are monitored in routine care during treatment with conventional and biologic disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (bDMARDs). The results were analyzed using logistic regression (adjusted for age and sex). Results Nine polymorphisms were associated with risk of AS (p < 0.05). The polymorphisms were in genes regulating a: the TNF-α pathway (TNF -308 G > A (rs1800629), and − 238 G > A (rs361525); TNFRSF1A -609 G > T (rs4149570), and PTPN22 1858 G > A (rs2476601)), b: the IL23/IL17 pathway (IL23R G > A (rs11209026), and IL18–137 G > C (rs187238)), or c: the NFkB pathway (TLR1 743 T > C (rs4833095), TLR4 T > C (rs1554973), and LY96–1625 C > G (rs11465996)). After Bonferroni correction the homozygous variant genotype of TLR1 743 T > C (rs4833095) (odds ratios (OR): 2.59, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.48–4.51, p = 0.04), and TNFRSF1A -609 G > T (rs4149570) (OR: 1.79, 95% CI: 1.31–2.41, p = 0.01) were associated with increased risk of AS and the combined homozygous and heterozygous variant genotypes of TNF -308 G > A (rs1800629) (OR: 0.56, 95% CI: 0.44–0.72, p = 0.0002) were associated with reduced risk of AS. Conclusion We replicated associations between AS and the polymorphisms in TNF (rs1800629), TNFRSF1A (rs4149570), and IL23R (rs11209026). Furthermore, we identified novel risk loci in TNF (rs361525), IL18 (rs187238), TLR1 (rs4833095), TLR4 (rs1554973), and LY96 (rs11465996) that need validation in independent cohorts. The results suggest that genetically determined high activity of the TNF-α, IL23/IL17, and NFkB pathways increase risk of AS.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY The aim of this study was to perform a meta-analysis to derive precise estimation of the association of interleukin-23 receptor (IL-23R), IL-1 receptor 2 (IL-1R2), IL-12 beta (IL-12B), IL-10 and tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α polymorphisms with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) susceptibility. STUDY DESIGN A systematic literature search was conducted to identify the relevant studies. Pooled OR with 95% CI was calculated to assess the strength of the association in a fixed or random-effects model. RESULTS A total of 13 917 cases and 19 849 controls in 43 eligible studies were included in the meta-analysis. Seventeen single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the abovementioned five cytokine genes were evaluated. The results indicate that the nine SNPs (rs11209026, rs1004819, rs10489629, rs11465804, rs1343151, rs11209032, rs1495965, rs7517847, rs2201841) of IL-23R are associated with AS susceptibility in all study subjects in the allelic model. Moreover, stratification by ethnicity identified a significant association between seven SNPs of IL-23R and AS susceptibility in Europeans and Americans, but not in Asians. In addition, the IL-10-819 C/T and TNF-α-857 C/T polymorphisms also confer susceptibility to AS, especially in Asian population. CONCLUSION The results suggested that the genetic susceptibility for AS is associated with the nine SNPs of IL-23R in overall population. In the subgroup analysis, significant associations were shown in European and American population, but not in Asian population. Our results also suggest that IL-10-819 C/T and TNF-α-857 C/T polymorphism might be associated with AS risk, especially in Asian population.

Abstract
Purpose: To test the frequency of single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the IL-10, IL23R-IL12RB2 genes in patients with Behcet's uveitis. Methods: Blood samples were collected from 89 Israeli and Turkish patients, and from healthy control subjects of different origins. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes and genotyped. Results: The risk allele, A, in rs1800871, of IL-10 gene was highly prevalent in Behcet's uveitis and healthy control samples alike; highest among the Turkish groups. Prevalence of G allele, in rs1495965, in the IL23R-IL12RB2 gene was high in Behcet's uveitis patients, and among healthy Turkish and Israelis of Middle Eastern origin, while lower among the other Israeli control group (77.9%, 78.9%, 27.8%, respectively, P < 0.001). Conclusion: Our findings highlight the differences between populations and may account for the increased prevalence of the disease among Turkish and Israelis of Middle Eastern origin. Further studies are required to map other healthy and affected populations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between interleukin-23 receptor (IL23R) gene rs10889677 polymorphism and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) susceptibility was inconsistent in the recent literatures. A systematic review and meta-analysis was therefore performed. METHODS Online electronic databases were searched for relevant studies published up to November 2017. Meta-analyses were performed for the comparisons of allele (A versus C) and multiple genetic models, including dominant, recessive, heterozygous, and homozygous models using fixed or random effects models. Odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) were utilized to assess the potential relationship. RESULTS Sixteen studies containing 19 separate comparisons, totaling 6450 cases and 8009 controls were included. A significant association between rs10889677 A allele and AS susceptibility was detected (OR=1.136, 95%CI=1.043-1.236, P=0.003). Stratified analysis by ethnicity indicated that rs10889677 A allele was significantly associated with AS in Europeans (OR=1.192, 95%CI=1.080-1.315, P<0.001), but not Asians (OR=1.045, 95%CI=0.913-1.197, P=0.523). In addition, there were no significant associations between rs10889677 polymorphism and AS susceptibility in any of dominant, recessive, homozygous and heterozygous models. CONCLUSION This meta-analysis demonstrates that IL23R gene rs10889677 A allele confers increased risk of AS in Europeans, but its role in Asian populations needs further exploration.

Abstract
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a systemic autoimmune disease mainly affecting the lumbar spine and sacroiliac joints, and exhibits peripheral inflammatory arthropathy. More than 25 loci have been identified as associated with AS. Because both AS and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are autoimmune diseases that may share some common genetic factors, we therefore examined if the newly identified RA genetic polymorphisms were associated with AS in a Taiwanese population. In this study, we enrolled 475 AS patients and 11,301 healthy subjects from a Taiwanese biobank as controls. Although none of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were associated with the susceptibility to AS, the AS disease index Bath AS Global (BAS-G) clinical phenotype was observed as significantly correlated to the AA genotype of rs657075 (CSF2). The significance remains after gender/age/disease duration adjustment and after group categorization by human leukocyte antigen-B 27 (HLA-B27) genotype. We further investigated the possible functions of rs657075 through bioinformatics approaches. Results revealed that polymorphism of rs657075 is able to influence the expression of acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 6 (ACSL6). In conclusion, our study indicated that rs657075 (CSF2) is strongly associated with the AS disease index Bath AS Global (BAS-G) clinical phenotype.

Abstract
To comprehensively evaluate the association between rs7517847 and rs2201841 polymorphisms in the Interleukin-23 (IL-23) receptor gene and ankylosing spondylitis (AS), a meta-analysis was performed. The Pubmed, Embase, MEDLINE, Cochrane, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), VIP, Wanfang and China Biology Medicine disc (CBMdisc) databases were searched to identify eligible studies on rs7517847 and rs2201841 polymorphisms in the IL-23 receptor gene and AS that were published through September 2014. Data of interest were extracted from each study, and the meta-analysis was performed using STATA 12.0. Four studies were eligible for the meta-analysis and included a total patient population of 2,465. With regards to rs7517847, the current study showed that the genotype GG and allele G might play a protective role during AS (OR = 0.76, 95% CI [0.59-0.99]; OR = 0.88, 95% CI [0.78-0.99] for homozygote and allelic models, respectively). However, according to the meta-analysis, there was no statistical association between the genotype or allele of rs2201841 and an individual's susceptibility to AS in all genetic models. In conclusion, it was the IL-23 rs7517847 polymorphism rather than the rs2201841 polymorphism that had a statistical association with AS. Nevertheless, more evidence is needed to confirm this result. Consequently, it is necessary to carry out more high-quality studies to confirm the associations between these two single nucleotide polymorphisms and AS.

Association with Genetic Variants in the IL-23 and NF-κB Pathways Discriminates between Mild and Severe Psoriasis Skin Disease. J Invest Dermatol 2015; 135:1969-1976.

Abstract
Psoriasis is clinically heterogeneous, and symptoms can vary from mild almost cosmetic symptoms to severe disease requiring systemic therapy. Biomarkers predicting disease development are lacking. Herein we explored the genetic background in two polarized cohorts of carefully phenotyped patients with long-term follow-up: consistent mild phenotype (n=696) and severe disease course requiring systemic therapy (n=715). All patients were treated at the same dermatology department ensuring homogenous assessment. Genotyping included known psoriasis-associated variants, with special focus on the IL-23 and NF-κB pathways. A case-case study comparing severe and mild psoriasis phenotypes, controlling for age at disease onset and gender, revealed significant differences between the two groups for SNPs in IL23R, NFKB1, IL21, IL12B, NFKBIL1 and IL23A. HLA-C*06 associated equally in the mild and severe disease cohorts. Strong additive effects when combining HLA-C*06 with IL23A, IL23R, IL12B, NFKB1 or TNIP1 were restricted to the severe cohort, indicating that activation of these pathways may influence disease severity in psoriasis. No protective gene was identified in the mild cohort, suggesting that current screens have primarily identified psoriasis variants associated with a more severe phenotype. These results demonstrate the importance of careful phenotyping and long-term clinical follow-up in genetic studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Genetic variations may play an important role in the development of HCC in HCV patients. Variants of IL23R gene were investigated for association with many diseases like chronic inflammatory disorders, RA, inflammatory bowel diseases and the susceptibility to the development of gastric cancer but no data are available concerning the association of IL23R gene (rs11209026) polymorphism with HCC development in HCV patients. Therefore the current study aimed to analyze this polymorphism within the gene to evaluate its contribution to chronic HCV susceptibility and/or HCC development in Egyptian patients. SUBJECTS AND METHODS One hundred and ninety-two patients with chronic HCV infection were included in this study (92 of them without HCC and 100 of them with HCC). One hundred healthy control subjects with no history of previous liver disease (HBV and HCV infection were negative) were included in the study. The IL23R polymorphism (rs11209026 G>A) were genotyped by real time PCR. RESULTS We found a significant lower incidence of GA and AA genotype in HCV patients with HCC compared to those without HCC (p=0.026 and 0.040 respectively) and compared to control group (p=0.008 and 0.007 respectively). While, no significant difference between control and HCV patients without HCC groups was found. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggests that wild type IL-23R GG serves as a risk factor for HCC and supports for the protective role of the rare variant rs11209026 (Arg381Gln) against HCV-related HCC in Egyptian patients.

Abstract
Among the complex network of inflammatory cells involved in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Th17 cells have recently been identified as key cells in the promotion of autoimmune processes, and joint destruction. The IL-23/Th17 signalling pathway, consisting of IL-23/IL-23R, IL-17A and IL-17F encoding genes, represents a candidate way for RA development with possible involvement in disease susceptibility and effect on disease progression. The present study aimed to determine the association between the polymorphic variants of the IL-17A (rs2275913), IL-17F (rs763780) and IL-23R (rs11209026) genes and RA susceptibility, progression and response to therapy with TNF-α inhibitors. Eighty-nine patients and 125 healthy individuals were investigated. The IL-17A polymorphism was found to affect RA progression and response to anti-TNF treatment. Female patients carrying the IL-17A wild-type genotype more frequently presented with stage 4 (8/24 vs. 6/47; p = 0.058) and were characterized by more active disease (the highest DAS28 score >5.1) after 3 months of therapy with the TNF inhibitors (12/23 vs. 15/45; p = 0.040). The IL-17F polymorphism appeared to be associated with susceptibility to the disease. The presence of the IL-17F minor variant (OR 3.97; p < 0.001) and its homozygosity (OR 29.62; p < 0.001) was more frequent among patients than healthy individuals. These results suggest that the polymorphisms within the IL-17A and IL-17F genes play a significant role in RA.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is one of the main types of inflammatory bowel disease, which is caused by dysregulated immune responses in genetically predisposed individuals. Several genetic factors, including interleukin and interleukin receptor gene polymorphisms and other inflammation-related genes play central role in mediating and modulating the inflammation in the human body, thereby these can be the main cause of development of the disease. It is clear these data are very important for understanding the base of the disease, especially in terms of clinical utility and validity, but summarized literature is exiguous for challenge health specialist that can used in the clinical practice nowadays. This review summarizes the current literature on inflammation-related genetic polymorphisms which are associated with UC. We performed an electronic search of Pubmed Database among publications of the last 10 years, using the following medical subject heading terms: UC, ulcerative colitis, inflammation, genes, polymorphisms, and susceptibility.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), represents a group of chronic inflammatory disorders caused by dysregulated immune responses in genetically predisposed individuals. Genetic markers are associated with disease phenotype and long-term evolution, but their value in everyday clinical practice is limited at the moment. IBD has a clear immunological background and interleukins play key role in the process. Almost 130 original papers were revised including meta-analysis. It is clear these data are very important for understanding the base of the disease, especially in terms of clinical utility and validity, but text often do not available for the doctors use these in the clinical practice nowadays. We conducted a systematic review of the current literature on interleukin and interleukin receptor gene polymorphisms associated with IBD, performing an electronic search of PubMed Database from publications of the last 10 years, and used the following medical subject heading terms and/or text words: IBD, CD, UC, interleukins and polymorphisms.

Abstract
Polymorphisms of the interleukin-23 receptor (IL23R) gene have been found to play an important role in the development of several autoimmune diseases. We examined five susceptible (rs10889677, rs1004819, rs2201841, rs11805303, rs11209032), one protective (rs7517847) and two neutral variants (rs7530511, rs1884444) of the IL23R gene in pooled DNA of healthy Roma (Gipsy) and Hungarian population samples. Our aim was to determine the genetic variability of the major haplotype tagging polymorphisms, and the haplotype profile of IL23R between the two groups. We analyzed 273 healthy Roma and 253 Hungarian DNA samples using PCR/RFLP assay. Comparing the five susceptible conferring alleles, there were significant increase (p<0.05), while in the protective alleles, there were decrease in the allele frequencies in Roma population (p<0.05). One of the neutral alleles showed increase, the another one did not differ between the two groups. The haplotype analysis of the SNPs revealed fundamentally different association types of SNPs in the two groups; moreover, the frequencies of the various haplotypes also exhibited strong differences, as of ht4 and ht5 haplotypes were significantly higher, whereas the frequencies of ht2 and ht3 haplotypes were significantly lower in the Roma population than in Hungarians (p<0.05). The data presented here show profound differences in the IL23R genetic profiles in the Roma population, that likely has also clinical implications in respect their possible role in the development of certain immunological diseases.

Abstract
Background The human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B27 gene is considered to be a major gene associated with predisposition to ankylosing spondylitis (AS); however, studies have demonstrated that non-HLA-B27 genes also contribute substantially to the susceptibility to AS. Two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), rs1004819 and rs10889677, of the interleukin-23 receptor (IL-23R) gene have been shown to be associated with AS susceptibility in European populations. However, ethnicity factors contribute to population splitting and genetic variation, and ethnic-specific genetic association studies are needed to validate these associations in patients from different ethnic backgrounds. This study therefore aimed to replicate the associations between these two SNPs and AS susceptibility in a Chinese Han population. Methods A total of 195 AS patients and 203 normal controls were recruited in this study. Two IL-23R gene SNPs, rs1004819 and rs10889677 were selected. Genotyping was performed in all subjects using the TaqMan probe method. Genotype and allele frequencies were compared between AS patients and normal controls by χ2 tests. Results There were no significant differences in either the genotype frequencies (TT 36.4%, TC 48.7% and CC 14.9% in AS patients; TT 35.0%, TC 50.0% and CC 15.0% in normal controls) or allele frequencies (T 60.8% and C 39.2% in AS patients; T 60.0% and C 40.0% in normal controls) of rs1004819 between AS patients and normal controls (P > 0.05). In addition, both the genotype frequencies (AA 51.3%, AC 43.1% and CC 5.6% in AS patients; AA 57.6%, AC 35.5% and CC 6.9% in normal controls) and allele frequencies (A 72.8% and C 27.2% in AS patients; A 75.4% and C 24.6% in normal controls) of rs10889677 were also comparable between AS patients and normal controls (P > 0.05). Conclusions This study found no evidence for an association between either of the two previously identified AS-susceptibility IL-23R SNPs (rs1004819 and rs10889677) and onset of AS, indicating a possible difference in pathogenesis of AS between Chinese and European patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The cytokines IL12 and IL23 have been recently implicated in the pathogenesis of psoriatic arthritis (PsA). In this study we investigated the genetic variations in the genes coding for IL12, IL23 and IL23 receptor as a plausible source of susceptibility and modification of clinical symptoms of PsA in Romanian population. METHODS Twenty five SNPs mapping to IL12A, IL12B, IL23A, IL23R and IL12RB1 genes were genotyped in 94 PsA patients and 161 healthy controls of Romanian ethnicity using the Sequenom genotyping platform. RESULTS The exonic SNP rs11171806 from IL23A gene was significantly underrepresented in patients versus controls (p=0.03, OR 0.391) and the carriers of rs11171806/rs2066808 AC haplotype had decreased risk for PsA (p=0.03). The two SNPs of the highly conserved gene IL23A are in complete LD in our population. Genetic variants of IL12B gene were associated with polyarticular subtype of PsA. No associations were found between SNPs from IL12A, IL23R and IL12RB1 genes and susceptibility to PsA and its phenotypes. CONCLUSION We confirm the previously described association of rs2066808 variant with psoriasis and PsA and we show evidence of an extended genomic region inside IL23A gene as carrier of true disease susceptibility factors. These data suggest a role for IL23 in the PsA pathogenesis in Romanians.

Abstract
CD4(+) T helper (Th) cells differentiate into distinct effector subsets that are critical for host defense, but are also implicated in the pathogenesis of autoimmune disorders. Thelper17 (Th17) cells in particular are emerging as important drivers of multiple diseases including psoriasis, spondyloarthropathy and multiple sclerosis. To gain insight into the function of Th17 cells, we performed transcriptional profiling in hopes of elucidating products not previously recognized as being functionally relevant in these T cells. Herein, we demonstrate that tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP1), a secreted protein with pleiotropic effects on cellular growth, survival and integrity of the extracellular matrix, is preferentially produced by Th17 and Th1 cells. We further show that Th1 and Th17 cell TIMP1 regulation follows separate mechanisms with a requirement for STAT4 in the former and STAT3 in the latter. Finally, we demonstrate that when restricted to T cells, expression of TIMP1 promotes neuropathology in experimental allergic encephalomyelitis.

Abstract
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammation of the sacroiliac joints, spine and peripheral joints. However, the development of anklosing spondylitis is unclear. Human leukocyte antigens HLA-B27 and ERAP1 have been widely reported to be associated with AS susceptibility. A recent genome-wide association study (GWAS) showed that two new susceptibility loci between EDIL3 and HAPLN1 at 5q14.3 (rs4552569) and within ANO6 at 12q12 (rs17095830) contribute to the risk of AS in Han Chinese. In this study, we enrolled 475 AS patients and 475 healthy subjects to assess whether these genetic variations contribute to the susceptibility and the severity of AS in the Taiwanese population. The correlation between genetic polymorphisms, AS activity indexes, (namely, BASDAI, BASFI and BAS-G) and AS complications (uveitis and inflammatory bowel disease) were tested using the markers, rs4552569 and rs17095830. Although no association between rs4552569/rs17095830 genetic polymorphisms and AS susceptibility/severity was found, a significant association between rs17095830 and inflammatory bowel disease was observed in a Taiwanese population.

Abstract
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammation of the sacroiliac joints, spine and peripheral joints. The development of ankylosing spondylitis is still unclear. Genetics factors such as human leukocyte antigen HLA-B27 and ERAP1 have been widely reported to associate to AS susceptibility. In this study, we enrolled 361 AS patients and selected four tagging single nucleotides polymorphisms (tSNPs) at STIM1 gene. The correlation between STIM1 genetic polymorphisms and AS activity index (BASDAI, BASFI, BAS-G) as well as laboratory parameters of inflammation (erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP)) were tested. Our results indicated that HLA-B27 positive AS patients who are carrying the minor allele homozygous G/G genotype of SNP rs3750996 significantly associated with a higher level of ESR in serum. Furthermore, rs3750996/rs3750994 pairwise allele analysis indicated that G-C haplotypes also significantly correlated with higher level of ESR as well as CRP. These findings provide a better understanding of STIM1 genetic contribution to the pathogenesis of AS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Polymorphisms of the interleukin-23 receptor (IL23R) gene have been found to play a role in the development of several autoimmune diseases. Our aim was to examine the possible effect of not only simple individual variants, but of haplotypes composed of them. SUBJECTS We analysed 263 patients with psoriasis, 199 patients with Crohn's disease (CD), 282 patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), and 253 controls for rs1884444, rs11805303, rs7517847, rs2201841, rs10889677 and rs11209032 variants. METHODS The genotypes were determined by using PCR/RFLP assay. Logistic regression analysis was used to compare the genotype distribution of the polymorphisms and haplotypes between the examined autoimmune diseases and healthy controls. RESULTS Rs1884444 was found to confer risk for UC and psoriasis, rs10889677 for CD and psoriasis, while rs2201841 and rs7517847 had effect only in CD. Using these SNPs we could study the susceptibility haplotype profiles in these diseases with special attention to UC. Eight different haplotypes could be differentiated. We found that the SNPs exert their susceptibility character in specific haplotype blocks, and the frequency of one haplotype differed significantly in UC compared with both other diseases and also with healthy controls. This haplotype conferred risk for UC, even while it had a somewhat lower frequency in the other diseases than in controls. CONCLUSIONS The data presented here serve as evidence for the need of haplotype analysis instead of just single standing SNP analysis when susceptibility is interpreted.

Abstract
Haplotype tagging SNPs of interleukin-23 receptor gene rs1004819, rs7517847, rs7530511, rs2201841, rs1343151 and rs10889677 were determined in 396 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, 190 patients with Crohn's disease, 206 patients with ankylosing spondylitis and 182 controls. Using regression analysis models the rs1004819, rs2201841, and rs10889677 SNPs were found to confer risk for Crohn's disease and ankylosing spondylitis, while rs1343151 had a protective effect in both of these diseases, and the rs2201841 and rs10889677 SNPs showed susceptibility nature for rheumatoid arthritis. Using these SNPs we could study the susceptibility haplotype profiles in these diseases with special attention to the rheumatoid arthritis, first in the literature. Seven different haplotypes could be differentiated. We found that the SNPs exert their susceptibility character in specific haplotype blocks: thus, for rheumatoid arthritis the rs1343151 SNP was risk factor only in a specific haplotype surrounding; this can explain the controversial results published so far about this variant. More importantly, we observed, that while a specific haplotype can confer risk for rheumatoid arthritis, the same haplotype tended to protect against the development of the other two diseases. The data presented here serve evidence for the need of haplotype analysis instead of just single standing SNP analysis when susceptibility to or protection against a certain disease are interpreted.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine whether interleukin-23 receptor (IL-23R) polymorphisms confer susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis (RA). A meta-analysis was conducted on the associations between the IL-23R rs1343151, rs10489629, rs7517847, rs11209026, rs1004819, and rs2201841 polymorphisms and RA using (1) allele contrast, (2) the recessive model, (3) the dominant model, and (4) the additive model. A total of 13 studies from eight articles involving 10,016 RA patients and 11,967 controls were considered in the meta-analysis. Meta-analysis identified a significant association between RA and the A allele of the rs1343151 polymorphism in the overall population (OR = 1.110, 95 % CI = 1.056-1.168, p = 4.7 × 10(-6)). Stratification by ethnicity identified a significant association between this polymorphism and RA in Europeans (OR = 1.105, 95 % CI = 1.049-1.163, p = 1.4 × 10(-5)). An association was also found between RA and the A allele carrier of the rs1343151 polymorphism in Europeans (OR = 1.135, 95 % CI = 1.058-1.217, p = 4.0 × 10(-5)). Meta-analysis revealed a significant association between RA and the A allele of the rs10489629 polymorphism in the overall population (OR = 1.079, 95 % CI = 1.029-1.131, p = 0.002) and in Europeans (OR = 1.092, 95 % CI = 1.038-1.149, p = 0.001). Meta-analyses of recessive, dominant, and additive models showed the same pattern as the meta-analysis of the A allele of the rs10489629 polymorphism, that is, a significant association with RA in Europeans. However, no association was found between the IL-23R rs7517847, rs11209026, rs1004819, and rs2201841 polymorphisms and RA susceptibility. This meta-analysis shows that the IL-23R rs1343151 and rs10489629 polymorphisms are associated with the development of RA in Europeans. These findings suggest that the IL-23R genes confer susceptibility to RA in the European population, but further study of this association is required in other ethnic groups.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is an inflammatory disease of unknown origin. Both genetic and environmental factors are involved. A recent genome-wide association study (GWAS) found anthrax toxin receptor 2 (ANTXR2) to be associated with AS in Caucasians. We aimed to investigate whether the ANTXR2 polymorphism is also associated with AS in a Chinese Shandong Han population. METHODS From 2008 to 2009, we recruited 309 patients with AS and 384 age- and sex-matched controls of Han nationality. We selected six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of ANTXR2 (rs4333130, rs6534708, rs6818557, rs12646132, rs12509658, and rs13140055) and genotyped them by polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment-length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and Taqman methods. We analysed linkage disequilibrium and constructed haplotypes. RESULTS Cases and controls did not differ in the frequency of ANTXR2 alleles, genotypes, or haplotypes. Thus, the six SNPs of ANTXR2 are not associated with AS in our Chinese Shandong Han population. CONCLUSIONS ANTXR2 might not be a susceptibility gene of AS in Chinese Han.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine whether interleukin-23R (IL-23R) polymorphisms confer susceptibility to ankylosing spondylitis (AS). METHODS The authors conducted meta-analyses on associations between IL-23R polymorphisms and AS susceptibility, using fixed and random effects models. RESULTS A total of 10 studies (14 separate comparisons) were included in this meta-analysis, which included European and Asian populations. Meta-analysis revealed a significant association between AS and the two alleles of rs11209032 polymorphism in all study subjects (OR = 1.182, 95% CI 1.120-1.249, P = 0.000). Stratification by ethnicity identified a significant association between this polymorphism and AS in the European (OR = 1.234, 95% CI 1.159-1.313, P = 0.000), but not in the Asian populations (OR = 1.030, 95% CI 0.921-1.152, P = 0.608). Meta-analyses of rs1004819, rs10489629, rs1343151, rs1495965, and rs2201841 polymorphisms showed the same pattern as that shown by rs11209032 meta-analysis. Meta-analysis also revealed a significant association between the two alleles of the rs11209026 and the rs11465804 polymorphisms and the risk of developing AS in Europeans. Interestingly, the rs7517847 polymorphism was found to be significantly associated with AS susceptibility in both Europeans and Asians. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis shows that the IL-23R polymorphisms are associated with the development of AS in Europeans.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Interleukin 23 (IL-23) stimulates the differentiation of T helper 17 (Th17) cells, which are involved in the pathogenesis of ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Binding of IL-23 to the IL-23 receptor complex activates Janus kinases 2 and tyrosine kinase 2, which phosphorylate IL-23R and subsequently promote the transcription of the IL-17 gene. IL-12B encodes a p40 subunit common to IL-12 and IL-23. We evaluated the effects of IL-12B and IL-23R genotype on the occurrence and clinical features of AS. METHODS A total of 362 patients with AS and 362 healthy controls were enrolled in the study. Genotypes of IL-12B A1188C (rs3212227) and IL-23R C2370A (rs10889677) were identified by polymerase chain reaction/restriction fragment-length polymorphism. Disease activity and functional status were assessed by Bath AS indices. RESULTS Subjects carrying IL-12B CC [matched relative risk (RR(m)) 1.93, 95% CI 1.23-3.03] and IL-12B AC (RR(m) 1.73, 95% CI 1.21-2.46) genotypes had a significantly greater risk of developing AS than subjects with the IL-12B AA genotype. Subjects carrying both IL-12B CC and IL-23R AA genotypes also had a significantly higher risk (RR(m) 2.98, 95% CI 1.51-5.89) of developing AS compared to those with IL-12B AA and IL-23R CC/CA genotypes, and this interaction between IL-12B and IL-23R was significant. Patients with AS who had IL-12B CC and IL-12B AC genotypes had an obviously increased Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index score compared to those who carried the IL-12B AA genotype (4.3 vs 3.7). CONCLUSION The IL-12B A1188C genotype was associated with the development and disease severity of AS.

Abstract
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and fungal infections are frequent complications after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes of the immune system can influence the inflammatory cascade and T cell-driven alloimmune reactions after HSCT, and thus increasing the incidence of GVHD and infectious complications. Here, we investigated the effect of SNPs in IL-23R and CCR6 on posttransplantation outcome in 161 recipients of partially T cell-depleted HSCT. Remarkably, IL-23R SNPs were not associated with clinical outcome, but we found that disparities in the CCR6 tagSNP rs2301436 and SNP rs3093023 are independently associated with the occurrence of chronic GVHD (cGVHD) and invasive fungal disease. In multivariate analysis, patients receiving a transplant from a homozygous rs2301436 G allele donor showed less cGVHD (odds ratio [OR]: 0.16; P = .002), as was the case for a homozygous donor rs3093023 G allele (OR: 0.24; P = .005). In parallel, the GG genotype at rs2301436 in donors was associated with a higher incidence of invasive fungal disease at day 100 after HSCT (OR: 3.59; P = .008). This study shows that CCR6 SNPs can be used to predict clinical outcome, and that polymorphisms in the CCR6 gene may influence T cell-mediated immune reactions after HSCT.

Abstract
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammation of the sacroiliac joints, spine and peripheral joints. The aetiology of ankylosing spondylitis is still unclear. Previous studies have indicated that genetics factors such as human leukocyte antigen HLA-B27 associates to AS susceptibility. We carried out a case-control study to determine whether the genetic polymorphisms of ORAI1 gene, a major component of store-operated calcium channels that involved the regulation of immune system, is a susceptibility factor to AS in a Taiwanese population. We enrolled 361 AS patients fulfilled the modified New York criteria and 379 controls from community. Five tagging single nucleotides polymorphisms (tSNPs) at ORAI1 were selected from the data of Han Chinese population in HapMap project. Clinical statuses of AS were assessed by the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI), and Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Global Index (BAS-G). Our results indicated that subjects carrying the minor allele homozygote (CC) of the promoter SNP rs12313273 or TT homozygote of the SNP rs7135617 had an increased risk of HLA-B27 positive AS. The minor allele C of 3′UTR SNP rs712853 exerted a protective effect to HLA-B27 positive AS. Furthermore, the rs12313273/rs7135617 pairwise allele analysis found that C-G (OR 1.69, 95% CI 1.27, 2.25; p = 0.0003) and T-T (OR 1.75, 95% CI 1.36, 2.27; p<0.0001) haplotypes had a significantly association with the risk of HLA-B27-positive AS in comparison with the T-G carriers. This is the first study that indicate haplotypes of ORAI1 (rs12313273 and rs7135617) are associated with the risk of HLA-B27 positive AS.

Abstract
Rapid advances in genetic technologies have led to the identification of more than 85 loci that contribute to susceptibility to autoimmune diseases. These susceptibility genes are distributed throughout the innate and adaptive immune systems, indicating that dysregulations in both immune systems participate in the development of autoimmunity. A significant subset of these susceptibility genes are shared between multiple autoimmune diseases. However, the dysregulation of specific pathways, such as the pathogen recognition receptors of the innate immune system and the TNF supergene family, are significantly involved in some autoimmune diseases. Although these findings dramatically increase the details available concerning the nature of genetic predisposition to autoimmunity, a mechanistic understanding of the processes involved has not been achieved. Future studies must focus on correlating phenotypes with specific genotypes to improve our understanding of the immune processes that are dysregulated during the development of autoimmunity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A recent genome-wide association study has identified 2 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) associated with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), rs10865331 (2p15) and rs2242944 (21q22). We assessed the association of these SNP with AS in a Spanish population. METHODS Four hundred fifty-six patients with AS fulfilling the modified New York Criteria and 300 healthy donors were analyzed. Result. SNP rs10865331 (allele A: p = 0.039; genotype: p = 0.016) was significantly associated with AS, while no association was found for rs2242944. CONCLUSION This is the first study that replicates in an independent cohort the association of the intergenic SNP rs10865331 with susceptibility to AS.
