Macrophage migration inhibitory factor gene polymorphisms (SNP -173 G>C and STR-794 CATT5-8) confer risk of plaque psoriasis: A case-control study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Macrophage inhibitory factor (MIF) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine secreted by several cells, including those in the immune system and the skin. The MIF gene contains the SNP -173 G> C and STR -794 CATT_5-8 polymorphisms in the promoter region capable of affecting its activity. Our objective was to investigate the MIF polymorphisms as a risk factor for plaque psoriasis (PP) in the Mexican population.

Methods

We genotyped both MIF polymorphism (rs5844572 and rs755622) in 224 PP patients with a clinical and histopathological diagnosis and 232 control subjects (CS) by the PCR-RFLP method. MIF serum levels were determined by an ELISA kit.

Results

We found significant differences in the genotypic and allelic frequencies for the MIF -173 G>C polymorphism; carriers of the GC genotype (OR 1.51, 95% CI 1.026-2.228, p = 0.03) and the C allele (OR 1.34, 95% CI 1.005-1.807, p = 0.04) had higher odds to present with PP. Moreover, the 6C haplotype was associated with PP risk (OR 2.10, 95% CI 1.22-3.69, p < 0.01). Also, the -173 CC genotype was associated with high MIF serum levels (p < 0.05).

Conclusions

The -173 GC genotype and the 6C haplotype of the MIF polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility to PP in the Mexican population.

Project description:Human macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a cytokine that plays a role in several metabolic and inflammatory processes. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) -173 G/C (rs755622) on MIF gene has been associated with numerous diseases, such as arthritis and cancer. However, most of the reports concerning the association of MIF with these and other pathologies are inconsistent and remain quite controversial. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis from 96 case-control studies on -173 G/C MIF SNP and stratified the data according to the subjects geographic localization or the disease pathophysiology, in order to determine a more meaningful significance to this SNP. The polymorphism was strongly associated with an increased risk in autoimmune-inflammatory, infectious and age-related diseases on the dominant (OR: 0.74 [0.58-0.93], P < 0.01; OR: 0.81 [0.74-0.89], P < 0.0001; and OR: 0.81 [0.76-0.87], P < 0.0001, respectively) and the recessive models (OR: 0.74 [0.57-0.095], P < 0.01; OR: 0.66 [0.48-0.92], P < 0.0154; and OR: 0.70 [0.60-0.82], P < 0.0001, respectively). Also, significant association was found in the geographic localization setting for Asia, Europe and Latin America subdivisions in the dominant (OR: 0.76 [0.69-0.84], P < 0.0001; OR: 0.77 [0.72-0.83], P < 0.0001; OR: 0.61 [0.44-0.83], P-value: 0.0017, respectively) and overdominant models (OR: 0.85 [0.77-0.94], P < 0.0001; OR: 0.80 [0.75-0.86], P < 0.0001; OR: 0.73 [0.63-0.85], P-value: 0.0017, respectively). Afterwards, we implemented a network meta-analysis to compare the association of the polymorphism for two different subdivisions. We found a stronger association for autoimmune than for age-related or autoimmune-inflammatory diseases, and stronger association for infectious than for autoimmune-inflammatory diseases. We report for the first time a meta-analysis of rs755622 polymorphism with a variety of stratified diseases and populations. The study reveals a strong association of the polymorphism with autoimmune and infectious diseases. These results may help direct future research on MIF-173 G/C in diseases in which the relation is clearer and thus assist the search for more plausible applications.
