The association between Interleukin (IL)-17A and IL-17F gene polymorphism with inflammatory arthritis were inconsistent among previous studies. This meta-analysis aimed to determine the association between IL-17A and IL-17F gene polymorphism with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
We searched Medline up to August 2019. The summary Odds Ratio (OR) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) was calculated to evaluate the relationship between IL-17A and IL-17F gene polymorphism with genetic susceptibility of AS, OA and RA.
A total of 19 studies with 5298 cases and 5675 healthy controls were included. There were significant associations between rs2275913 G allele with OA, RA susceptibility (P < .05) but not AS. Subgroup analysis by ethnicity indicated that rs763780 C allele was closely related to AS and OA in Caucasian populations (P < .001) but not Mongolians. A significant association between rs763780 and RA susceptibility was detected in Caucasian populations (P < .05).
IL-17F gene rs763780 C allele confers increased risk of inflammatory arthritis in Caucasians; IL-17A gene rs2275913 G allele are protective for OA susceptibility in Mongolians. More well-designed studies with larger sample size are needed to elucidate the role of IL-17A gene rs2275913 G allele in inflammatory arthritis, especially AS.
白细胞介素(IL)-17A 和 IL-17F 基因多态性与炎症性关节炎的相关性在先前的研究中并不一致。本荟萃分析旨在确定 IL-17A 和 IL-17F 基因多态性与强直性脊柱炎(AS)、骨关节炎(OA)和类风湿关节炎(RA)之间的关系。
我们检索了截至 2019 年 8 月的 Medline。计算汇总优势比(OR)及其相应的 95%置信区间(CI),以评估 IL-17A 和 IL-17F 基因多态性与 AS、OA 和 RA 遗传易感性的关系。
共纳入 19 项研究,包括 5298 例病例和 5675 例健康对照。rs2275913 G 等位基因与 OA、RA 易感性相关(P<0.05),但与 AS 无关。按种族进行的亚组分析表明,rs763780 C 等位基因与白种人群的 AS 和 OA 密切相关(P<0.001),但与蒙古人群无关。在白种人群中,rs763780 与 RA 易感性显著相关(P<0.05)。
IL-17F 基因 rs763780 C 等位基因增加了白种人群炎症性关节炎的风险;IL-17A 基因 rs2275913 G 等位基因对蒙古人群的 OA 易感性具有保护作用。需要更多设计良好、样本量更大的研究来阐明 IL-17A 基因 rs2275913 G 等位基因在炎症性关节炎,特别是 AS 中的作用。
