We aimed to investigate whether NLR family, pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) polymorphisms are associated with the response to interferon-beta (IFNβ) in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. A total of 14 NLRP3 polymorphisms were genotyped in a cohort of 665 relapsing-remitting MS patients recruited across 5 centers and classified into responders and non-responders according to clinical-radiological criteria after 1 year of IFNβ treatment. A meta-analysis failed to demonstrate significant associations between the response to IFNβ and NLRP3 polymorphisms. These findings do not support a role of polymorphisms located in the NLRP3 gene and the response to IFNβ in MS patients.
我们旨在探究富含 N 端亮氨酸重复蛋白家族成员 3(NLRP3)多态性是否与多发性硬化症(MS)患者对干扰素-β(IFNβ)的反应相关。在一个由 5 个中心招募的 665 例复发缓解型 MS 患者队列中,共对 14 个 NLRP3 多态性进行了基因分型,并根据 IFNβ治疗 1 年后的临床放射学标准将其分为应答者和非应答者。荟萃分析未能显示 NLRP3 多态性与 IFNβ 应答之间存在显著关联。这些发现不支持 NLRP3 基因多态性与 MS 患者对 IFNβ 的反应之间存在相关性。
