Glycosylation of immunoglobulin G is regulated by a large network of genes pleiotropic with inflammatory diseases

Abstract: Effector functions of immunoglobulin G (IgG) are regulated by the composition of a glycan moiety, thus affecting activity of the immune system. Aberrant glycosylation of IgG has been observed in many diseases, but little is understood about the underlying mechanisms. We performed a genome-wide association study of IgG N-glycosylation (N = 8090) and, using a data-driven network approach, suggested how associated loci form a functional network. We confirmed in vitro that knockdown of IKZF1 decreases the expressi… Show more

“…A total of 2,408 authors were involved in the writing of Igg glycosylation studies, with the most proli c contributors being Wuhrer, Manfred, (74 articles) , or Nmax 74, m27.7 can be calculated from Price's law, which indicates that the authors of more than 28 papers are the core authors in the eld of IGG glycosylation, That's Wuhrer, Manfred, and LAUC, Gordan. According to the latest research from Wuhrer, Manfred of Leiden University in the Netherlands, variation in key transcription factors coupled with regulatory variation in glycogenes modi es IgG glycosylation and has in uence on in ammatory diseases [24] .

“…To define genetic variants (i.e., single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP), short insertions and deletions (indels)) associated with glycosylation profiles regardless of specific phenotypes in the TwinsUK cohort, we ran analyses with the GenABEL software package [44] designed for genome-wide association study (GWAS) analysis of family-based data by incorporating pairwise kinship matrix calculated using genotyping data in the polygenic model to correct relatedness and hidden population stratification. Data were recently published with other datasets [26,45]. We selected genetic variants for each IgG N-glycan traits with a p-value under the GWAS threshold (p-value < 5 × 10 −8 ) and added the list of previously-defined genetic variants [29,45] (Appendix A).…”

“…In peripheral blood, we identified both depleted core fucosylation of IgG antibodies and decreased antennary α1,2 fucosylation of PBMC to be associated with autoantibodies to thyroid peroxidase (TPOAb) and AITD status [4]. We also identified a network of genes, including FUT8 and IKZF1 that regulate fucosylation, to be implicated in the development of AITD [4,26]. Based on these findings, we speculated that IgG core fucose deficiencies together with elevated levels of autoantibodies may participate in autoimmune responses in AITD by enhancing effector cell activation and heightened immune and inflammatory signals.…”

“…This direction of inquiry can be extended to other ''omic'' data types to gain further insights into the mechanistic pathway between genetic variant and causally associated trait [22,23]. A recent study showed that variants involved in the regulation of glycoenzymes play an important role in IgG N-glycosylation [24], thus we hypothesized that identifying IgG N-glycosylation quantitative trait loci (IgG N-glycan-QTLs) variants and linking them to diseaseassociated genetic variants from GWAS might pinpoint molecular mechanisms underlying genetic susceptibility to human diseases that are due, at least in part, to altered IgG N-glycosylation.…”
