Linkage and association of adrenergic and dopamine receptor genes in the distal portion of the long arm of chromosome 5 with systolic blood pressure variation

Elevated blood pressure is an important risk factor for renal-, cerebro- and cardiovascular diseases. We used an efficient discordant sib-pair ascertainment scheme to investigate the impact of the distal end of the long arm of human chromosome 5 (chromosomal region 5q31.1-qter) containing genes for the alpha1B and beta2 adrenergic receptors and the dopamine receptor type 1A on variation of systolic blood pressure in young Caucasians. We measured eight highly polymorphic markers spanning this positional candidate gene-rich region in 427 individuals from 55 three-generation pedigrees containing 69 discordant sibling pairs, and calculated multipoint identity by descent (MIBD) probabilities. The results of genetic linkage and association tests indicate that the region between markers D5S2093 and D5S462 is significantly linked to one or more polymorphic genes influencing interindividual variation in systolic blood pressure levels. Since the alpha1B adrenergic receptor and dopamine receptor type 1A genes are located close to these markers, these data suggest that genetic variation in one or both of these G protein-coupled receptors, which participate in the control of vascular tone, plays an important role in influencing interindividual variation in systolic blood pressure levels.      

Identification of two groups of smoldering multiple myeloma patients who are either high or low producers of interleukin-1.

Interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) is abnormally expressed by the plasma cells obtained from myeloma patients, and it is a potent inducer of the important myeloma growth factor, IL-6. We investigated whether levels of IL-1beta biologic activity might distinguish different groups of patients with smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM). We measured the ability of IL-6 production by bone marrow stromal cells to serve as a surrogate marker for IL-1beta biologic activity. Using this IL-1beta bioassay, we found that it is sensitive at < 1 pg/ml of recombinant IL-1beta and that IL-1beta biologic activity is detectable with either mature or pro-IL-1beta-transduced myeloma cell lines. Patients with active myeloma induced quantitatively higher levels of stromal cell IL-6 production when compared with those with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS). The bioassay distinguished two groups of SMM patients, those who were high producers, similar to patients with active MM, and those who were low producers, comparable to MGUS patients. IL-1 antagonists inhibited the paracrine IL-6 production by > or = 90% in the majority of patients with an elevated IL-6 level. Based on such studies, it may be possible to predict patients that will progress to active MM and to delay or prevent this progression with IL-1 antagonists.

Nucleotide sequences of novel HLA-B35 subtypes

In recent reports we described novel hybridization patterns (HP) corresponding to 22 potentially new HLA-B locus alleles in a panel of 547 subjects studied by PCR-SSOP. Three of them correspond to new subtypes of B35. To confirm the hybridization results we have isolated DNA from PBL and performed PCR, DNA cloning and nucleotide sequencing. One of the alleles, locally called B-3505v was found in three individuals: two Hispanic, one Caucasoid. It differs from B^*3505 by 3 nucleotide substitutions that lead to changes in residues 94 (Ile > Thr), 95 (Ile > Leu) and 103 (Val > Leu). B-3505v differs from B^*3501 in residues 97 and 103. Another allele called B-3508v, was found in 7 individuals, (6 of 122 Toba Indians, 1 of 18 Pilaga Indians). It differs from B^*3509 in two silent nucleotide substitutions (codons 135 and 138) and in one substitution in residue 156 (Arg > Leu). The new allele has a hybrid sequence between B^* 3508 and B^*4801. A third subtype, locally called B-3504v, observed in two Hispanic individuals, is identical to B^*3512. B^*3512 differs from B^*3504 by 3 nucleotides and one amino acid. Substitutions in residue 95 contribute to the structure of specificity pocket F, 97 to C and E, and 156 to pockets D and E. Therefore it is possible that some of the new alleles may have different peptide binding profiles. Since differences in residue 156 have been shown to affect allorecognition and mediate GvHD, identification of such variants may have important implications in transplantation and perhaps in studies of immune responses to peptides and pathogens.
