HO‐1 promoter polymorphism associated with rheumatoid arthritis

Abstract: Objective. To investigate the role of the HO-1 gene as a novel functional candidate gene for rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods. We performed a case-control study including 736 RA patients and 846 healthy controls of Spanish Caucasian origin. Two putative functional HO-1 promoter polymorphisms, a (GT) n microsatellite and a -413 A/T single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), were selected as genetic markers and genotyped using polymerase chain reaction-based methods. In addition, the intracellular expression of heme… Show more

“…Allele and genotype frequencies were similar to those previously described. 31 No significant association between the genotypes or the individual allele frequencies, and the development of inhibitors was observed, in agreement with a recently published genome-wide association study by Astermark et al 32 (Online Supplementary Table S1; P>0.05).…”

“…Thus, HO-1 (GT) n microsatellite was identified as a genetic marker involved in rheumatoid arthritis. 31 The role of HO-1 in the anti-FVIII immune response was recently investigated in FVIII-deficient mice. 21 The induction of HO-1 by heme, or the administration of the catabolic heme products (CO, biluribin), drastically reduced the intensity of the anti-FVIII immune response.…”

“…As a result, Zconformation in (GT)n repeats on the human HO-1 gene promoter is identified as a basis for distinct transcriptional activities of HO-1 promoter with diverse (GT)n repeats. All those changes of conformations could possibly interfere some important regulation elements in HO-1 promoter, such as combination sites for NF-κB, so that influence the activity of HO-1 promoter [22,26].…”

“…The distribution of the numbers of (GT)n repeats was bimodal, with two main peak located at 23 and 30 GT repeats. Therefore, we divided the alleles into two subclasses, as previously reported [21][22][23][24][25]: class S (<25 repeats) and class L (≥ 25).…”

“…Association between HMOX1 polymorphisms and several disease conditions have been proposed, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, vascular restenosis, and rheumatoid arthritis (56)(57)(58)(59)(60). A recent study has described an association between HMOX1 promoter length polymorphisms and renal function after renal transplantation (61), though similar studies report no associations in the outcome of cardiac or renal transplantation (62,63).…”
