Heterogeneity of vitamin D receptor gene association with celiac disease and type 1 diabetes mellitus

OBJECTIVE: Vitamin D has been shown to exert multiple immunomodulatory effects and is known to suppress T-cell activation by binding to the vitamin D receptor (VDR). To determine whether VDR gene polymorphisms are related to the susceptibility to celiac disease, we investigated its implication as a candidate gene in the Basque population. Because celiac disease and type 1 diabetes share common susceptibility loci, we also analyzed families with type 1 diabetes mellitus. METHODS: A total of 37 families with celiac disease and 64 type 1 diabetic families of Basque origin with at least one affected offspring were genotyped for four VDR restriction-site polymorphisms (Fok I, Bsm I, Apa I and Taq I). The AFBAC approach was used to test for association. RESULTS: Comparison of VDR genotypes of the patients with those of 88 healthy individuals identified "ff" as a risk genotype for celiac disease [p = 0.01; OR = 3.45 (1.12-10.79)]. On the other hand, a significantly higher frequency of haplotype "fBAt" was observed in the type 1 diabetic group [p(c) = 0.02; OR = 4.4 (1.5-15.3)]. CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that polymorphisms within the vitamin D receptor gene are markers of susceptibility to or protection from autoimmune diseases, although, at least in the Basque population, association of VDR variants with celiac disease and type 1 diabetes seems to be heterogeneous.     

Regulatory Role of Promoter and 3′ UTR Variants of Vitamin D Receptor Gene on Cytokine Response in Pulmonary Tuberculosis

Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene variants are shown to regulate immune response in tuberculosis. We studied the influence of VDR promoter (Cdx-2 and A1012G), 3' untranslated region (Apa I, Bsm I, and Taq I) and start codon (Fok I) polymorphisms on 1,25(OH)(2)D(3)-modulated IL-12p40, IFN-gamma, IL-10, and IL-5 response to live Mycobacterium tuberculosis and its culture filtrate antigen (CFA) in 60 normal healthy subjects and 51 pulmonary tuberculosis patients. In peripheral blood mononuclear cell cultures with CFA and 1,25(OH)(2)D(3), IL-12p40, and IFN-gamma levels were significantly decreased (p < 0.05) and IL-10 levels were significantly increased (p < 0.05) in patients with GG genotype. The extended genotype bbaaTT (baT haplotype) was associated with decreased IL-12p40 and IFN-gamma levels and significantly increased IL-10 levels (p < 0.05). The Cdx-2 GG genotype and baT haplotype are associated with a suppressed Th1 and increased IL-10 response, which suggests that 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) probably through the VDR polymorphic variants augments the anti-inflammatory response at the site of M. tuberculosis infection.     

Variation in the vitamin D receptor gene is associated with multiple sclerosis in an Australian population

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) resulting in accumulating neurological disability. The disorder is more prevalent at higher latitudes. To investigate VDR gene variation using three intragenic restriction fragment length polymorphisms (Apa I, Taq I and Fok I) in an Australian MS case-control population. One hundred and four Australian MS patients were studied with patients classified clinically as Relapsing Remitting MS (RR-MS), Secondary Progressive MS (SP-MS) or Primary Progressive MS (PP-MS). Also, 104 age-, sex-, and ethnicity-matched controls were investigated as a comparative group. Our results show a significant difference of genotype distribution frequency between the case and control groups for the functional exon 9 VDR marker Taq I (p(Gen) = 0.016) and interestingly, a stronger difference for the allelic frequency (p(All) = 0.0072). The Apa I alleles were also found to be associated with MS (p(All) = 0.04) but genotype frequencies were not significantly different from controls (p(Gen) = 0.1). The Taq and Apa variants are in very strong and significant linkage disequilibrium (D' = 0.96, P < 0.0001). The genotypic associations are strongest for the progressive forms of MS (SP-MS and PP-MS). Our results support a role for the VDR gene increasing the risk of developing multiple sclerosis, particularly the progressive clinical subtypes of MS.

目的探讨维生素D受体(VDR)基因多态性、环境因素与结核病发病的相关性,以及因素间的交互作用。方法采用病例对照研究方法,选择198例确诊肺结核病例为病例组,按年龄、性别成组匹配195例健康人为对照组。采用高分辨率溶解曲线技术(HRM)检测VDR基因TaqⅠ、FokⅠ多态性位点的基因型,同时收集研究对象环境因素暴露情况,以单因素和多因素非条件Logistic回归分析的方法,分析VDR基因多态性、环境因素与结核病的联系及其交互作用。结果结核病患者接触史、吸烟、人均居住面积小于10 m2、居室通风不良、工作强度大以及VDR基因FokⅠ-ff基因型与结核病易感性相关(P<0.05),VDR基因FokⅠ-ff基因型、吸烟及结核病患者接触史在结核病发生中存在明显的交互作用(P<0.05)。结论 VDR基因多态性、环境因素与结核病的发病有关,且存在一定的交互作用。     

Association of vitamin D receptor and estrogen receptor gene polymorphisms with bone mass in postmenopausal Korean women

OBJECTIVE: To examine the relationship between vitamin D receptor (VDR) and estrogen receptor (ER) gene polymorphism and bone mineral density (BMD). DESIGN: Polymorphisms at the VDR FokI and ER PvuII and XbaI gene sites, serum bone-specific alkaline phosphatase, urinary N-telopeptide of type I collagen, and BMD at the lumbar spine and proximal femur were analyzed in 229 postmenopausal Korean women. RESULTS: The distribution of ER PvuII and XbaI and VDR FokI restriction fragment length polymorphisms was as follows: pp 39.3%, Pp 46.3%, PP 14.4%, xx 34.1%, Xx 61.1%, XX 4.8%. ff 17.0%, Ff 43.7%, and FF 39.3%, respectively (upper-case letters signify the absence, and lower-case letters signify the presence of the restriction site). After adjusting for potential confounding factors such as age, body mass index, and menopause duration, ER PvuII was independently associated with BMD at the lumbar spine and XbaI polymorphism BMD at the femoral neck. The lumbar spine BMD in the pp genotype was 7.5% lower than in the PP genotype, and the femoral neck BMD was 4.8% lower in the Xx genotype than in the xx genotype. By itself, the VDR FokI polymorphism was not related to BMD, but by combining the FokI genotype (FF) with ER genotypes, such as ppxx and the PpXx, the difference in the BMD at the Ward's triangle became significant. There were no significant differences in the levels of biochemical markers between the genotypes of three polymorphisms. CONCLUSION: ER polymorphisms, singly and in relation to VDR FokI polymorphism, influence bone mass in Korean women.     

Regulatory Role of Vitamin D Receptor Gene Variants of BsmI, ApaI, TaqI, and FokI Polymorphisms on Macrophage Phagocytosis and Lymphoproliferative Response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis Antigen in Pulmonary Tuberculosis

The regulatory role of vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene variants of Bsm I, Apa I, Taq I, and Fok I polymorphisms on vitamin D(3)-modulated macrophage phagocytosis with live Mycobacterium tuberculosis and lymphoproliferative response to M. tuberculosis culture filtrate antigen (CFA) was studied in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (n = 46) and in normal healthy subjects (NHS) (n = 64). Vitamin D(3) at a concentration of 1 x 10(-7) M enhanced the phagocytic potential of normal subjects who had a phagocytic index of less than 20%. This increase was seen in subjects with the genotypes BB (p = 0.017), AA (p = 0.016), tt (p = 0.034), and FF (p = 0.013) and the extended genotype BBAAtt (p = 0.034). Normal subjects with BBAAtt performed better phagocytosis than individuals with bbaaTT genotype (p = 0.034). Vitamin D(3) at 10(-9), 10(-8), and 10(-7) M concentrations suppressed the lymphoproliferative response to CFA antigen in normal subjects. This decreased lymphocyte response was observed in normal individuals with the genotypes BB (p = 0.0009), tt (p = 0.016), and FF (p = 0.008) and the extended genotype BBAAtt (p = 0.02). Addition of vitamin D(3) had no significant effect on macrophage phagocytosis and lymphoproliferative response to CFA in pulmonary TB patients. This may be due to the unresponsive nature of the cells to the action of vitamin D(3) or the downregulated VDR expression by virtue of the disease, which renders them inactive. The genotypes BB, tt, and the extended genotype BBAAtt may be associated with increased expression of VDR which in turn regulate the action of vitamin D(3) and modulate the immune functions to M. tuberculosis in NHS.
