Abstract

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Differential responsiveness to interleukin (IL)-2 between effector CD4+ T cells (Teff) and regulatory T cells (Treg) is a fundamental mechanism of immunoregulation. The single nucleotide polymorphism rs61839660, located within IL2RA (CD25), has been associated with the development of Crohn's disease. We sought to identify the T cell immune phenotype of IBD patients who carry this SNP. METHOD(S): Teff and Treg were isolated from individuals homozygous (TT), heterozygous (CT) or wild type (CC) for the minor allele at rs61839660, and used for phenotyping (flow cytometry, Cytometry Time Of Flight) functional assays or T cell receptor (TCR) sequencing. Phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (STAT5) was assessed in response to IL-2, IL-7 and in the presence of basiliximab, a monoclonal antibody directed against CD25. Teff proinflammatory cytokine expression levels were assessed by reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction after IL-2 and/or TCR stimulation. RESULT(S): Presence of the minor T allele enhances CD25 expression leading to increased STAT5 phosphorylation and proinflammatory cytokine transcript expression by Teff in response to IL-2 stimulation in vitro. Teff from TT individuals demonstrate a more activated gut homing phenotype. TCR sequencing analysis suggests that TT patients may have a reduced clonal capacity to mount an optimal regulatory T cell response. CONCLUSION(S): rs61839660 regulates the responsiveness of T cells to IL-2 signaling by modulating CD25 expression. As low dose IL-2 is being trialed as a selective Treg modulator in CD, these findings highlight the potential for adverse effects in patients with this genotype.Copyright © The Author(s) 2021.

Abstract

Chronic kidney disease (CKD), impairment of kidney function, is a serious public health problem, and the assessment of genetic factors influencing kidney function has substantial clinical relevance. Here, we report a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for kidney function-related traits, including 71,149 east Asian individuals from 18 studies in 11 population-, hospital- or family-based cohorts, conducted as part of the Asian Genetic Epidemiology Network (AGEN). Our meta-analysis identified 17 loci newly associated with kidney function-related traits, including the concentrations of blood urea nitrogen, uric acid and serum creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate based on serum creatinine levels (eGFRcrea) (P < 5.0 × 10(-8)). We further examined these loci with in silico replication in individuals of European ancestry from the KidneyGen, CKDGen and GUGC consortia, including a combined total of ∼110,347 individuals. We identify pleiotropic associations among these loci with kidney function-related traits and risk of CKD. These findings provide new insights into the genetics of kidney function.

Abstract

Blood pressure is a heritable trait influenced by several biological pathways and responsive to environmental stimuli. Over one billion people worldwide have hypertension (≥140 mm Hg systolic blood pressure or ≥90 mm Hg diastolic blood pressure). Even small increments in blood pressure are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events. This genome-wide association study of systolic and diastolic blood pressure, which used a multi-stage design in 200,000 individuals of European descent, identified sixteen novel loci: six of these loci contain genes previously known or suspected to regulate blood pressure (GUCY1A3-GUCY1B3, NPR3-C5orf23, ADM, FURIN-FES, GOSR2, GNAS-EDN3); the other ten provide new clues to blood pressure physiology. A genetic risk score based on 29 genome-wide significant variants was associated with hypertension, left ventricular wall thickness, stroke and coronary artery disease, but not kidney disease or kidney function. We also observed associations with blood pressure in East Asian, South Asian and African ancestry individuals. Our findings provide new insights into the genetics and biology of blood pressure, and suggest potential novel therapeutic pathways for cardiovascular disease prevention.

Abstract

This study was designed to measure leptin concentrations in the peritoneal fluid (PF) of women with different aspects of pelvic endometriosis. Among 36 consecutive women undergoing laparoscopy, nine were diagnosed as having minimal-mild endometriosis (stage I–II). Among nine other subjects with advanced stage (III–IV) disease, six showed one or more ovarian endometriotic cysts as the only operative finding. The remaining 18 unaffected women constituted the control group. Patients with endometriosis had significantly higher PF leptin concentrations (32.6 ± 16.2 versus 17.1 ± 6.6 ng/ml, P = 0.002); this difference remained significant when corrected for body mass index (BMI) (PF leptin/BMI ratio 1.41 ± 0.67 versus 0.76 ± 0.28, P = 0.001). Furthermore, the PF leptin/BMI ratio was significantly higher in women with peritoneal implants than in those in whom no implant was found at laparoscopy (1.6 ± 0.7 versus 0.83 ± 0.33, P = 0.007). Conversely, patients with one or more ovarian endometriomata as the only finding, had a PF leptin/BMI ratio comparable with that in women where no cyst was found (1.05 ± 0.4 versus 1.1 ± 0.65). In women with stage I–II endometriosis, a higher mean PF leptin/BMI ratio was found compared with those affected by stage III–IV (1.78 ± 0.68 versus 1.05 ± 0.43, P = 0.01). These results show that during endometriosis the presence of peritoneal disease, and not of ovarian endometriotic cysts, influences leptin concentrations in PF. The data suggest that leptin may play a role in the development of peritoneal endometriosis, and that different biochemical phenomena might be involved in the pathogenesis of the ovarian form of the disease.

14. Relative Resistance of Human CD4+Memory T Cells to Suppression by CD4+CD25+Regulatory T Cells

Abstract

Successful expansion of functional CD4+CD25+regulatory T cells (Treg) ex vivounder good manufacturing practice conditions has made Treg-cell therapy in clinical transplant tolerance induction a feasible possibility. In animals, Tregcells home to both transplanted tissues and local lymph nodes and are optimally suppressive if active at both sites. Therefore, they have the opportunity to suppress both naïve and memory CD4+CD25−T cells (Tresp). Clinical transplantation commonly involves depleting therapy at induction (e.g. anti-CD25), which favors homeostatic expansion of memory T cells. Animal models suggest that Tregcells are less suppressive on memory, compared with naïve Tresp that mediate allograft rejection. As a result, in the context of human Treg-cell therapy, it is important to define the effectiveness of Tregcells in regulating naïve and memory Tresp. Therefore, we compared suppression of peripheral blood naïve and memory Tresp by fresh and ex vivoexpanded Tregcells using proliferation, cytokine production and activation marker expression (CD154) as readouts. With all readouts, naïve human Tresp were more suppressible by approximately 30% than their memory counterparts. This suggests that Tregcells may be more efficacious if administered before or at the time of transplantation and that depleting therapy should be avoided in clinical trials of Tregcells.

Abstract

Chronic kidney disease (CKD), impairment of kidney function, is a serious public health problem, and the assessment of genetic factors influencing kidney function has substantial clinical relevance. Here, we report a meta-analysis of genomewide association studies for kidney function-related traits, including 71,149 east Asian individuals from 18 studies in 11 population-, hospital- or family-based cohorts, conducted as part of the Asian Genetic Epidemiology Network (AGEN). Our meta-analysis identified 17 loci newly associated with kidney function-related traits, including the concentrations of blood urea nitrogen, uric acid and serum creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate based on serum creatinine levels (eGFRcrea) (P < 5.0 x 10(-8)). We further examined these loci with in silico replication in individuals of European ancestry from the KidneyGen, CKDGen and GUGC consortia, including a combined total of similar to 110,347 individuals. We identify pleiotropic associations among these loci with kidney function-related traits and risk of CKD. These findings provide new insights into the genetics of kidney function.
