    • Haemorrhoidal disease (HEM) affects a large and silently suffering fraction of the population but its aetiology, including suspected genetic predisposition, is poorly understood. We report the first genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis to identify genetic risk factors for HEM to date.DesignWe conducted a GWAS meta-analysis of 218 920 patients with HEM and 725 213 controls of European ancestry. Using GWAS summary statistics, we performed multiple genetic correlation analyses between HEM and other traits as well as calculated HEM polygenic risk scores (PRS) and evaluated their translational potential in independent datasets. Using functional annotation of GWAS results, we identified HEM candidate genes, which differential expression and coexpression in HEM tissues were evaluated employing RNA-seq analyses. The localisation of expressed proteins at selected loci was investigated by immunohistochemistry.ResultsWe demonstrate modest heritability and genetic correlation of HEM with several other diseases from the GI, neuroaffective and cardiovascular domains. HEM PRS validated in 180 435 individuals from independent datasets allowed the identification of those at risk and correlated with younger age of onset and recurrent surgery. We identified 102 independent HEM risk loci harbouring genes whose expression is enriched in blood vessels and GI tissues, and in pathways associated with smooth muscles, epithelial and endothelial development and morphogenesis. Network transcriptomic analyses highlighted HEM gene coexpression modules that are relevant to the development and integrity of the musculoskeletal and epidermal systems, and the organisation of the extracellular matrix.ConclusionHEM has a genetic component that predisposes to smooth muscle, epithelial and connective tissue dysfunction.

  • Large differences in carbohydrate degradation and transport potential in the genomes of lichen fungal symbionts
  • 2022
  • Ingår i: Nature Communications. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 2041-1723. ; 13
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Lichen symbioses are thought to be stabilized by the transfer of fixed carbon from a photosynthesizing symbiont to a fungus. In other fungal symbioses, carbohydrate subsidies correlate with reductions in plant cell wall-degrading enzymes, but whether this is true of lichen fungal symbionts (LFSs) is unknown. Here, we predict genes encoding carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) and sugar transporters in 46 genomes from the Lecanoromycetes, the largest extant clade of LFSs. All LFSs possess a robust CAZyme arsenal including enzymes acting on cellulose and hemicellulose, confirmed by experimental assays. However, the number of genes and predicted functions of CAZymes vary widely, with some fungal symbionts possessing arsenals on par with well-known saprotrophic fungi. These results suggest that stable fungal association with a phototroph does not in itself result in fungal CAZyme loss, and lends support to long-standing hypotheses that some lichens may augment fixed CO2 with carbon from external sources.

  • RANDOMIZED, DOUBLE-BLIND, PLACEBO-CONTROLLED TRIAL TO EVALUATE EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF SC ABATACEPT IN ADULTS WITH ACTIVE IDIOPATHIC INFLAMMATORY MYOPATHY
  • 2022
  • Ingår i: ANNALS OF THE RHEUMATIC DISEASES. - : BMJ. - 0003-4967 .- 1468-2060. ; 81, s. 711-711

    • Limited therapies are available for patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM), a heterogenous group of chronic, systemic, autoimmune inflammatory diseases characterized by progressive muscle weakness and/or distinct skin rashes.1 Abatacept, a selective co-stimulation modulator, may be a useful treatment option.2ObjectivesTo evaluate efficacy, safety, and tolerability of abatacept + standard of care (SOC) in patients with IIM compared with SOC alone (placebo).MethodsA 24-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 trial of SC abatacept (125 mg weekly) + SOC (corticosteroids and immunosuppressants alone or combined; NCT02971683) in patients with active, treatment-refractory IIM (Manual Muscle Testing-8 [MMT-8] ≤ 135) was performed. Primary endpoint was proportion of patients meeting International Myositis Assessment and Clinical Studies definition of improvement (IMACS DOI) at week 24. Change from baseline in myositis Functional Index-2 (FI-2), HAQ-DI, Myositis Disease Activity Assessment Tool (MDAAT), and Myositis Response Criteria (MRC) were secondary endpoints with safety. Post hoc analyses by disease subtype were performed.ResultsOverall, 148 patients were randomized (75 abatacept; 73 placebo); IIM subtypes were dermatomyositis (DM; 53.3% vs 57.5%), polymyositis (PM; 25.3% vs 34.2%), and autoimmune necrotizing myopathy (ANM; 21.3% vs 8.2%). Mean baseline MMT-8 and HAQ-DI scores were 112.7 and 1.5, respectively. Approximately 90% of patients completed week 24. Week 24 IMACS DOI rates were abatacept 56.0% vs placebo 42.5% (adjusted odds ratio, 1.8 [95% CI, 0.9–3.5]; P = 0.083). Pre-specified IMACS DOI analysis showed no differences for patients with DM but notable benefit for those with non-DM subtypes, PM and ANM (Table 1). Secondary endpoints showed similar differences (Table 1). MRC at day 169 by category is shown in Figure 1. Proportion of AEs (69.3% and 75.3%) and serious AEs (5.3% and 5.5%) were similar in the abatacept and placebo arms.Table 1.Primary and secondary (mean change from baseline at week 24) endpointsOutcomeIIMAbataceptPlaceboNominal P value (abatacept vs placebo) or adjusted mean difference from placebo (95% CI)IMACS DOI,a n/N (%)All42/75 (56.0)31/73 (42.5)P = 0.083DM22/40 (55.0)21/42 (50.0)P = 0.679Non-DM20/35 (57.1)10/31 (32.3)P = 0.040FI-2All4.1 (1.3)1.2 (1.4)2.9 (0 to 5.8)DM2.3 (1.6)0.3 (1.4)1.9 (−2.3 to 6.2)Non-DM3.2 (1.4)−0.6 (1.5)3.7 (−0.3 to 7.8)HAQ-DIAll−0.31 (0.07)0.20 (0.07)−0.12 (−0.28 to 0.04)DM−0.31 (0.08)−0.19 (0.07)−0.11 (−0.32 to 0.10)Non-DM−0.25 (0.09)−0.07 (0.09)−0.18 (−0.44 to 0.07)MDAAT, Extramuscular Global Activity, (95% CI)bAll−1.56 (−1.96 to −1.16)−1.40 (−1.81 to −0.99)−0.16 (−0.63 to 0.30)DM−1.90 (−2.43 to −1.37)−1.85 (−2.35 to 1.36)−0.05 (−0.77 to 0.68)Non-DM−1.09 (−1.46 to −0.72)−0.85 (−1.27 to −0.43)−0.24 (−0.80 to 0.32)MMT-8All12.9 (1.9)11.0 (2.0)1.8 (−2.7 to 6.4)DM14.4 (2.2)14.0 (2.2)0.4 (−5.7 to 6.4)Non-DM12.1 (2.5)7.8 (2.7)4.3 (−3.0 to 11.7)Physician Global AssessmentbAll−2.89 (0.30)−2.69 (0.30)−0.20 (−0.92 to 0.52)DM−2.78 (0.29)−2.43 (0.28)−0.35 (−1.15 to 0.46)Non-DM−2.35 (0.43)−2.21 (0.48)−0.14 (−1.43 to 1.15)Patient Global AssessmentbAll−1.4 (0.31)−0.98 (0.32)−0.38 (−1.11 to 0.35)DM−1.4 (0.33)−1.4 (0.31)−0.00 (−0.91 to 0.90)Non-DM−1.2 (0.41)−0.3 (0.44)−0.93 (−2.14 to 0.29)Data are adjusted mean change from baseline score (SE) unless stated.aDefined as improvement of ≥ 20% in 3 IMACS core measures, worsening by ≥ 25% in ≤ 2 IMACS core measure scores, and a reduction of < 25% in MMT-8; b100 mm visual analog scale.ConclusionIn this double-blind trial of SC abatacept vs placebo, abatacept failed to meet primary or secondary endpoints.
