Interleukin-1β Polymorphisms Are Genetic Markers of Susceptibility to Periprosthetic Joint Infection in Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty. Genes (Basel) 2024; 15:596. [PMID: 38790226 PMCID: PMC11120921 DOI: 10.3390/genes15050596] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2024] [Revised: 05/02/2024] [Accepted: 05/05/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) are serious complications of prosthetic surgery. The criteria for the diagnosis of PJI integrate clinical and laboratory findings in a complex and sometimes inconclusive workflow. Host immune factors hold potential as diagnostic biomarkers in bone and joint infections. We reported that the humoral pattern-recognition molecule long pentraxin 3 (PTX3) predicts PJI in total hip and knee arthroplasty (THA and TKA, respectively). If and how genetic variation in PTX3 and inflammatory genes that affect its expression (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, and IL-17A) contributes to the risk of PJI is unknown. We conducted a case-control study on a Caucasian historic cohort of THA and TKA patients who had prosthesis explant due to PJI (cases) or aseptic complications (controls). Saliva was collected from 93 subjects and used to extract DNA and genotype PTX3, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, and IL-17A single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Moreover, the concentration of IL-1β, IL-10, and IL-6 was measured in synovial fluid and plasma. No association was found between PTX3 polymorphisms and PJI; however, the AGG haplotype, encompassing rs2853550, rs1143634, and rs1143627 in IL-1β, was linked to the infection (p = 0.017). Also, synovial levels of all inflammatory markers were higher in cases than in controls, and a correlation emerged between synovial concentration of PTX3 and that of IL-1β in cases only (Spearman r = 0.67, p = 0.004). We identified a relationship between rs2853550 and the synovial concentration of IL-1β and PTX3. Our findings suggest that IL-1β SNPs could be used for the early identification of THA and TKA patients with a high risk of infection.

Abstract
Background Preeclampsia (PE) is the primary cause of perinatal maternal-fetal mortality and morbidity. The exact molecular mechanisms of PE pathogenesis are largely unknown. This study aims to identify the hub genes in PE and explore their potential molecular regulatory network. Methods We downloaded the GSE148241, GSE190971, GSE74341, and GSE114691 datasets for the placenta and performed a differential expression analysis to identify hub genes. We performed Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), Disease Ontology (DO), Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA), and Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) Analysis to determine functional roles and regulatory networks of differentially expressed genes (DEGs). We then verified the DEGs at transcriptional and translational levels by analyzing the GSE44711 and GSE177049 datasets and our clinical samples, respectively. Results We identified 60 DEGs in the discovery phase, consisting of 7 downregulated genes and 53 upregulated genes. We then identified seven hub genes using Cytoscape software. In the verification phase, 4 and 3 of the seven genes exhibited the same variation patterns at the transcriptional level in the GSE44711 and GSE177049 datasets, respectively. Validation of our clinical samples showed that CADM3 has the best discriminative performance for predicting PE. Conclusion These findings may enhance the understanding of PE and provide new insight into identifying potential therapeutic targets for PE.
