Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease where genetic factors have been related to SLE susceptibility and disease severity. CRP polymorphisms have been associated with high C-reactive protein (CRP) serum levels, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and high clinical disease activity in SLE patients; however, the evidence is still inconclusive.
This study was aimed to assess the association of the - 717 A > G, - 409 G > A, + 1444 C > T, and + 1846 C > T CRP polymorphisms with genetic susceptibility, clinical disease activity, and CVD risk in Mexican-mestizo SLE patients.
A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted on 369 unrelated women: 183 with SLE according to the 1997 SLE-ACR criteria and 186 healthy subjects (HS). The clinical disease activity was assessed by the Mex-SLEDAI score; CRP and lipid profile were quantified by turbidimetry and colorimetric-enzymatic assays, respectively. The CRP polymorphisms genotyping was carried out by allelic discrimination.
SLE patients with - 717 AA genotype had higher CRP serum levels than SLE carriers of AG and GG genotypes (AA = 5 mg/L vs. AG = 3.2 mg/L vs. GG = 2.4 mg/L; p = 0.01), and the AA genotype was associated with high CVD risk by CRP in SLE patients (OR = 3; CI: 1.2-7.6; p < 0.01).
The - 717 A > G CRP polymorphism is a risk factor for high CRP levels and high CVD risk in Mexican-mestizo SLE patients. Key Points • Cardiovascular disease is one of the major causes of death in SLE patients due to the higher prevalence of traditional and non-traditional cardiovascular risk factors. • C-reactive protein is a liver-derived acute-phase protein suggested as one powerful independent risk predictor factor for cardiovascular disease. • Single nucleotide polymorphisms in CRP have been suggested as genetic susceptibility factors that could modify the SLE pathophysiology outcomes. • Mexican-mestizo SLE patients carrying the -717 A>G CRP AA genotype had 3-fold high cardiovascular disease risk than SLE patients with AG or GG genotypes.
系统性红斑狼疮(SLE)是一种自身免疫性疾病,遗传因素与 SLE 的易感性和疾病严重程度有关。C 反应蛋白(CRP)多态性与 CRP 血清水平升高、心血管疾病(CVD)和 SLE 患者的高临床疾病活动度有关;然而,证据仍然不确定。
本研究旨在评估 CRP-717A>G、-409G>A、+1444C>T 和+1846C>T 多态性与墨西哥混血 SLE 患者的遗传易感性、临床疾病活动度和 CVD 风险的相关性。
对 369 名无血缘关系的女性进行了一项比较性横断面研究:183 名符合 1997 年 SLE-ACR 标准的 SLE 患者和 186 名健康对照者(HS)。采用 Mex-SLEDAI 评分评估临床疾病活动度;通过比浊法和比色酶法分别定量 CRP 和血脂谱。通过等位基因鉴别进行 CRP 多态性基因分型。
SLE 患者-717AA 基因型的 CRP 血清水平高于 SLE 患者 AG 和 GG 基因型(AA=5mg/L 比 AG=3.2mg/L 比 GG=2.4mg/L;p=0.01),AA 基因型与 SLE 患者高 CRP 水平相关(OR=3;CI:1.2-7.6;p<0.01)。
CRP-717A>G 多态性是墨西哥混血 SLE 患者高 CRP 水平和高 CVD 风险的危险因素。要点•心血管疾病是 SLE 患者死亡的主要原因之一,这是由于传统和非传统心血管危险因素的患病率较高。•C 反应蛋白是一种肝脏来源的急性期蛋白,被认为是心血管疾病的一个强大的独立风险预测因子。•CRP 中的单核苷酸多态性被认为是遗传易感性因素,可以改变 SLE 的病理生理学结果。•与 AG 或 GG 基因型的 SLE 患者相比,携带 CRP-717A>GAA 基因型的墨西哥混血 SLE 患者患心血管疾病的风险高 3 倍。
