Peptide Ancestry Informative Markers in Uterine Neoplasms from Women of European, African and Asian Ancestry

ABSTRACT: Characterization of ancestry-linked peptide variants in disease-relevant patient tissues represents a foundational step to connect patient ancestry with molecular disease pathogenesis. Nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) encoding missense substitutions within tryptic peptides exhibiting high allele frequencies in European, African, and East Asian populations, termed peptide ancestry informative markers (pAIMs), were prioritized from 1000 genomes. In silico analysis shows that as few as 20 pAIMs can determine ancestry proportions similarly to >260K SNPs (R2=0.9905). Multiplexed proteomic analysis of >100 human endometrial cancer cell lines and uterine leiomyoma (ULM) tissues combined resulted in the quantitation of 62 pAIMs that correlate with self-described race and genotype-confirmed patient ancestry. Candidates include a D451E substitution in GC vitamin D-binding protein previously associated with altered vitamin D levels in African and European populations. These efforts describe a generalized set of markers for proteoancestry assessment that will further support studies investigating the impact of ancestry on the human proteome and how this relates to the pathogenesis of uterine neoplasms.

Project description:Background: Mortality from preeclampsia (PE) and PE-associated morbidities are 3-to 5-fold higher in persons of African ancestry than in those of Asian and European ancestries. The placenta is central to the etiology of PE. However, how and to what extent the placenta contributes to worse PE outcomes in persons of African ancestry is yet to be fully elucidated. Objective: We aimed to identify molecular pathways that are unique or enriched in placentas of parturient persons of African ancestry with PE with severe features (sPE) compared to those of Asian and European ancestry with sPE. Study design: Bulk RNA sequencing was performed on 50 placentas from parturient persons with sPE of African (n=9), Asian (n=18) and European (n=23) ancestries and 73 normotensive controls of African (n=9), Asian (n=15) and European (n=49) ancestries. Results: Metabolism, hormone regulation and hypoxia/angiogenesis genes, previously described to be upregulated in PE, including: LEP, PAPPA2, INHA, FSTL3, FLT1, PHYHIP and ENG, were upregulated in sPE across ancestries, with high expression of FSTL3 being additionally associated with intrauterine growth restriction (p<.0001). Notably, LEP, FLT1 and PHYHIP were more highly upregulated in sPE placentas from parturient persons of African versus Asian ancestry. Genes associated with allograft rejection and adaptive immune response were selectively upregulated in placentas from African ancestry parturitions and not in those of Asian and European ancestries. Among the allograft rejection/adaptive immune response genes, IL3RA was of particular interest because the patient with the highest placental IL3RA level, a woman of African ancestry with IL3RA levels 4.5-fold above the average for African ancestry parturitions with sPE, developed postpartum cardiomyopathy, and was the only patient out of 123, that developed this condition. Interestingly, the sPE patients of Asian and European ancestries with the highest IL3RA levels for their ancestries developed unexplained tachycardia peripartum, necessitating echocardiography in the European ancestry patient. The association between elevated placental IL3RA levels and unexplained tachycardia or peripartum cardiomyopathy was found to be significant in the 50 sPE patients (p=.0005). Conclusions: African ancestry parturitions are associated with higher placental upregulation of metabolism (LEP) and hypoxia/angiogenesis (FLT1) genes, and selective upregulation of allograft rejection/adaptive immune response genes, including IL3RA. High placental expression of IL3RA may predict worse maternal cardiovascular outcomes, including peripartum cardiomyopathy. Studies evaluating placental IL3RA levels in peripartum cardiomyopathy cohorts are therefore warranted, as are broader studies evaluating placental factors in maternal cardiovascular outcomes postpartum.
