POLYMORPHISM OF THE HEAT-SHOCK PROTEIN GENE HSP70-2IN SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS

Abstract: We investigate whether a heat-shock protein gene (HSP70-2) is involved in determining susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in a Spanish population. A HSP70-2 PstI polymorphism was characterized by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of polymerase chain reaction-amplified genomic DNA in 90 SLE patients and 117 controls. The PstI site containing allele (B) was significantly increased in SLE patients compared to healthy controls. This was due to a significant increase in the BB homoz… Show more

“…Thus, the chromosome mapping of the HSP family in the MHC class III region, the importance of HSPs in the immune response and the strong linkage disequilibrium with other significant MHC alleles highlights that the HSP70 genes may be associated with susceptibility for autoimmune diseases. The HSP70-2 gene polymorphism is associated with an increased risk of type I diabetes (19), systemic lupus erythematosus (18,26) and rheumatoid arthritis (27). The HSP70-2 polymorphism is a result of an A-G substitution in the coding sequence of the gene.…”

“…HSP70 was also detected in the inflamed colonic mucosa of Crohn's disease (CD) patients (15), and therefore, the HSP70 gene family has been suggested to be a possible candidate gene in CD (16,17). Due to an A-G transition at the 1,267 position, the HSP70-2 gene has a PstI site (13,18) and different genotypes of the HSP70-2 gene have been shown to be associated with various levels of HSP70 mRNA expression (19). Single-nucleotide polymorphisms at the PstI site of nucleotide 1,267 have previously been found to be associated with intestinal perforation, abscess formation and fistula in Japanese and Caucasian patients with CD (16,17,20), suggesting that this …”

“…The present results do not support the findings in previous studies which have implicated HSP70-2 gene polymorphism in SLE and other autoimmune diseases. [4][5][6][7][8] However, in most of the cases, the associations were due to linkage disequilibrium between HSP70-2B and DR3 alleles [5][6][7] which are included in the A1-B8-DR3 and A30-B18-DR3 extended haplotypes and thus, probably secondary to, the DR/DQ associations. On the other hand, previous studies have failed to show significant relevance of HSP70 polymorphism in the susceptibility to several HLA-associated diseases.…”

“…7 This analysis was performed considering the polymorphic Pst I site at position 1267 of these alleles. We selected the following primers spanning the polymorphic Pst I site (nucleotide 1267) according to the previously described sequence, 7 sense (nucleotide 1083-1102 within the coding region) 5Ј-CATCGACTTCTACACGTCCA-3Ј and antisense (nucleotide 2180-2199 within the 3Ј untranslated end to avoid HSP70-1 homology) 5Ј-CAAAGTCC TTGAGTCCCAAC-3Ј.…”
