  • A genetic variant in granzyme B is associated with progression of joint destruction in rheumatoid arthritis
  • 2013
  • Ingår i: Arthritis and Rheumatism. - : Wiley. - 1529-0131 .- 0004-3591. ; 65:3, s. 582-589

    • Objective Genetic factors account for an estimated 4558% of the variance in joint destruction in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The serine proteinase granzyme B induces target cell apoptosis, and several in vitro studies suggest that granzyme B is involved in apoptosis of chondrocytes. Serum levels of granzyme B are increased in RA and are also associated with radiographic erosions. The aim of this study was to investigate GZMB as a candidate gene accounting for the severity of joint destruction in RA. Methods A total of 1,418 patients with 4,885 radiograph sets of the hands and feet from 4 independent cohorts were studied. First, explorative analyses were performed in 600 RA patients in the Leiden Early Arthritis Clinic cohort. Fifteen single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) tagging GZMB were tested. Significantly associated SNPs were genotyped in data sets representing patients from the Groningen, Sheffield, and Lund cohorts. In each data set, the relative increase in the annual rate of progression in the presence of a genotype was assessed. Data were summarized in a meta-analysis. The association of GZMB with the RNA expression level of the GZMB genomic region was tested by mapping expression quantitative trait loci (QTLs) on 1,469 whole blood samples. Results SNP rs8192916 was significantly associated with the rate of joint destruction in the first cohort and in the meta-analysis of all data sets. Patients homozygous for the minor allele of rs8192916 had a higher rate of joint destruction per year compared with other patients (P = 7.8 x 104). Expression QTL of GZMB identified higher expression in the presence of the minor allele of rs8192916 (P = 2.27 x 105). Conclusion SNP rs8192916 located in GZMB is associated with the progression of joint destruction in RA as well as with RNA expression in whole blood.

  • Genetic variants in IL15 associate with progression of joint destruction in rheumatoid arthritis: a multicohort study
  • 2012
  • Ingår i: Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases. - : BMJ. - 1468-2060 .- 0003-4967. ; 71:10, s. 1651-1657

    • Background Interleukin (IL)-15 levels are increased in serum, synovium and bone marrow of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). IL-15 influences both the innate and the adaptive immune response; its major role is activation and proliferation of T cells. There are also emerging data that IL-15 affects osteoclastogenesis. The authors investigated the association of genetic variants in IL15 with the rate of joint destruction in RA. Method 1418 patients with 4885 x-ray sets of both hands and feet of four independent data sets were studied. First, explorative analyses were performed on 600 patients with early RA enrolled in the Leiden Early Arthritis Clinic. Twenty-five single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) tagging IL-15 were tested. Second, SNPs with significant associations in the explorative phase were genotyped in data sets from Groningen, Sheffield and Lund. In each data set, the relative increase of the progression rate per year in the presence of a genotype was assessed. Subsequently, data were summarised in an inverse weighting meta-analysis. Results Five SNPs were significantly associated with rate of joint destruction in phase 1 and typed in the other data sets. Patients homozygous for rs7667746, rs7665842, rs2322182, rs6821171 and rs4371699 had respectively 0.94-, 1.04-, 1.09-, 1.09- and 1.09- fold rate of joint destruction compared to other patients (p = 4.0x10(-6), p = 3.8x10(-4), p = 5.0x10(-3), p = 5.0x10(-3) and p = 9.4x10(-3)). Discussion Independent replication was not obtained, possibly due to insufficient power. Meta-analyses of all data sets combined resulted in significant results for four SNPs (rs7667746, p < 0.001; rs7665842, p < 0.001; rs4371699, p = 0.01; rs6821171, p = 0.01). These SNPs were also significant after correction for multiple testing. Conclusion Genetic variants in IL-15 are associated with progression of joint destruction in RA.

  • Smoking as a risk factor for the radiological severity of rheumatoid arthritis: a study on six cohorts
  • 2014
  • Ingår i: Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases. - : BMJ. - 1468-2060 .- 0003-4967. ; 73:7, s. 1384-1387
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Background Smoking is a risk factor for the development of anti -citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) positive rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Whether smoking predisposes to severe joint damage progression is not known, since deleterious, protective and neutral observations have been made. Objective To determine the effect of smoking on joint damage progression. Methods Smoking status was assessed in 3158 RA patients included in six cohorts (Leiden Early Arthritis Clinic (Leiden-EAC), BARFOT, Lund, Iceland, NDB and Wichita). In total 9412 radiographs were assessed. Multivariate normal regression and linear regression analyses were performed. Data were summarised in a random effects inverse variance meta-analysis. Results When comparing radiological progression for RA patients that were never, past and current smokers, smoking was significantly associated with more severe joint damage in Leiden-EAC (p=0.042) and BARFOT (p=0.015) RA patients. No significant associations were found in the other cohorts, though a meta-analysis on the six cohorts showed significantly more severe joint damage progression in smokers (p=0.01). Since smoking predisposes to ACPA, analyses were repeated with ACPA as additional adjustment factor. Then the association was lost (meta-analysis p=0.29). Conclusions This multi-cohort study indicated that the effect of smoking on joint damage is mediated via ACPA and that smoking is not an independent risk factor for radiological progression in RA.

  • Genetic studies on components of the Wnt signalling pathway and the severity of joint destruction in rheumatoid arthritis
  • 2013
  • Ingår i: Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases. - : BMJ. - 1468-2060 .- 0003-4967. ; 72:5, s. 769-775
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Background Progression of joint destruction in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is partly heritable; knowledge of genetic factors may increase our understanding of the mechanisms underlying joint destruction. The activity of the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway influences osteoblast differentiation. Dickkopf-1 (Dkk-1) and sclerostin (Sost) are negative regulators and lipoprotein receptor-related protein-5 (LRP-5) and Kremen-1 are transmembrane receptors involved in this pathway. Objective To study variants in the genes encoding these proteins in relation to progression of joint destruction. Methods 1418 patients with RA of four cohorts with 4885 sets of hands and feet x-rays were studied. Explorative analyses were performed on 600 patients with RA from Leiden on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) tagging Dkk-1, Sost, Kremen-1 and LRP-5. SNPs significantly associating with joint damage progression were subsequently genotyped in cohorts from Groningen (NL), Sheffield (UK) and Lund (Sweden). Data were summarised in meta-analyses. Serum levels of functional Dkk-1 and sclerostin were measured and studied in relation to genotypes. Results In the first cohort, six Dkk-1, three Sost, one Kremen-1 and 10 LRP-5 SNPs were significantly associated with radiological progression of joint destruction. Three Dkk-1 SNPs were associated significantly with progression of joint damage in the meta-analysis, also after correction for multiple testing (rs1896368, rs1896367 and rs1528873). Two Sost SNPs tended to significance (rs4792909 and rs6503475, p=0.07 after false discovery rate correction). Gene-gene interactions between SNPs on Dkk-1 and Sost were seen. Serum levels of Dkk-1 were significantly correlated with the genotypes in rs1896368 (p=0.02). Conclusions Patients with RA carrying risk alleles of genetic variants in Dkk-1 have higher serum levels of functional Dkk-1 and more progressive joint destruction over time.

  • EULAR recommendations for terminology and research in individuals at risk of rheumatoid arthritis : report from the Study Group for Risk Factors for Rheumatoid Arthritis
  • 2012
  • Ingår i: Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases. - : BMJ. - 0003-4967 .- 1468-2060. ; 71:5, s. 638-641
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The Study Group for Risk Factors for Rheumatoid Arthritis was established by the EULAR Standing Committee on Investigative Rheumatology to facilitate research into the preclinical and earliest clinically apparent phases of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This report describes the recommendation for terminology to be used to define specific subgroups during different phases of disease, and defines the priorities for research in this area. Terminology was discussed by way of a three-stage structured process: A provisional list of descriptors for each of the possible phases preceding the diagnosis of RA were circulated to members of the study group for review and feedback. Anonymised comments from the members on this list were fed back to participants before a 2-day meeting. 18 participants met to discuss these data, agree terminologies and prioritise important research questions. The study group recommended that, in prospective studies, individuals without RA are described as having: genetic risk factors for RA; environmental risk factors for RA; systemic autoimmunity associated with RA; symptoms without clinical arthritis; unclassified arthritis; which may be used in a combinatorial manner. It was recommended that the prefix 'pre-RA with:' could be used before any/any combination of the five points above but only to describe retrospectively a phase that an individual had progressed through once it was known that they have developed RA. An approach to dating disease onset was recommended. In addition, important areas for research were proposed, including research of other tissues in which an adaptive immune response may be initiated, and the identification of additional risk factors and biomarkers for the development of RA, its progression and the development of extra-articular features. These recommendations provide guidance on approaches to describe phases before the development of RA that will facilitate communication between researchers and comparisons between studies. A number of research questions have been defined, requiring new cohorts to be established and new techniques to be developed to image and collect material from different sites.
