C.- The PTPN22 1858T allele but not variants in the proximal promoter region of IL-21 gene is associated with the susceptibility to type 1 diabetes and the presence of autoantibodies in a Brazilian cohort(2013) MAINARDI-NOVO, D. T. O.; SANTOS, A. S.; FUKUI, R. T.; GAMBERINI, M.; CORREIA, M. R. S.; RUIZ, M. O.; MANGUEIRA, C. L. P.; MATIOLI, S. R.; VASCONCELOS, D. M.; SILVA, M. E. R.Interleukin (IL)-21 and protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor 22 (PTPN22) regulate lymphocyte function and have been implicated in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diabetes. We sequenced the proximal promoter of the IL-21 gene for the first time and analysed the PTPN22 1858T polymorphism in type 1A diabetes (T1AD) patients and healthy controls (HC). We correlated the frequencies of islet and extra-pancreatic autoantibodies with genotypes from both loci. The case series comprised 612 T1AD patients and 792 HC. Genotyping of PTPN22 C1858T was performed on 434 T1AD patients and 689 HC. The 448 to +83 base pairs (bp) region of the IL-21 gene was sequenced in 309 Brazilian T1AD and 189 HC subjects. We also evaluated human leucocyte antigen (HLA) DR3/DR4 alleles. The frequencies of glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD65), tyrosine phosphatase-like protein (IA)-2, anti-nuclear antibody (ANA), thyroid peroxidase (TPO), thyroglobulin (TG), thyrotrophin receptor autoantibody (TRAb), anti-smooth muscle (ASM) and 21-hydroxylase (21-OH) autoantibodies were higher in T1AD patients than in HC. The PTPN22 1858T allele was associated with an increased risk for developing T1AD [odds ratio (OR)=1 center dot 94; P<0 center dot 001], particularly in patients of European ancestry, and with a higher frequency of GAD65 and TG autoantibodies. HLA-DR3/DR4 alleles predominated in T1AD patients. A heterozygous allelic IL-21 gene variant (g.-241 T>A) was found in only one patient. In conclusion, only PTPN22 C1858T polymorphism and HLA-DR3 and/or DR4 alleles, but not allelic variants in the 5-proximal region of the IL-21 gene were associated with T1AD risk. Patients with T1AD had increased frequencies of anti-islet-cell, anti-thyroid, anti-nuclear, anti-smooth muscle and anti-21-OH autoantibodies. The C1858T PTPN22 polymorphism was also associated with a higher frequency of GAD65 and TG autoantibodies.

B.- Protective effect of interleukin-23A (IL23A) haplotype variants on type 1A diabetes mellitus in a Brazilian population(2013) COSTA, V. S.; SANTOS, A. S.; FUKUI, R. T.; MATTANA, T. C. C.; MATIOLI, S. R.; SILVA, M. E. R.The Interleukin 23 (IL-23) has a central role in autoimmunity. Allelic variants of p19 subunit of IL-23 (IL23A) and IL-23 receptor. (IL23R) genes and increased IL-23 serum concentrations were associated with autoimmune diseases. We therefore searched for variants of IL23A and IL23R that could predispose to Type 1 diabetes (T1D). The coding regions and boundary intron sequences of IL23A were sequenced. Variants of IL23A and of IL23R were also genotyped. Pancreatic and extrapancreatic autoantibodies and IL-23 serum levels were determined. The cohort involved 370 patients with T1D and 351 healthy control subjects. We observed only one coding IL23A variant (rs11171806 G > A) out of the 6 described in databases. As the G alleles of rs11171806 and rs2066808 variants of IL23A gene were in strong linkage disequilibrium (D' = 0.825 for controls, p < 2.0 x 10(-6) and D' = 0.902, p < 2.0 x 10(-17) for patients), further analyses were performed with the haplotypes. The GG haplotype was more frequent in controls (16.7%) than in T1D patients (9.5%), conferring a protection to T1D (OR = 0.53; pc = 0.0003). No association was found between IL23A allelic variants with age at diagnosis of diabetes, C-peptide levels or frequency of autoantibodies. IL23R variants (rs10889677 and rs11209026) frequency and IL-23 serum concentrations were similar between groups. The GG haplotype of IL23A variants (rs11171806 and rs2066808) was protective against T1D. IL23R variants (rs11209026 and rs10889677) were not associated with T1D. IL-23 serum concentrations did not differ between groups.
