Abstract

Objective: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by proliferation and insufficient apoptosis of synovial cell, inflammatory cell infiltration, angiogenesis, and destruction of joints. Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) has many functions, such as regulation of inflammation, angiogenesis, and inhibition of apoptosis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between intron 13 C/A and intron 14 T/C HGF gene polymorphisms and serum HGF levels in patients with RA.Materials and Methods: 100 patients with RA and 123 healthy controls were included in this study. Serum HGF concentrations were measured using ELISA kit. Gene polymorphisms were determined by allelic discrimination analysis using the real-time PCR method.Results: HGF levels, frequency of AA genotype and A allele for intron 13 C/A polymorphism and frequency of CC genotype and C allele for intron 14 T/C polymorphism were increased in patients with RA compared to healthy controls. There was no overall associations between genotypes and serum HGF concentrations in both patient and control groups.Conclusion: Our results indicate that HGF protein and gene may play an important role in the etiopathogenesis of RA. However, further studies are required for a better understanding of mechanisms related to the disease process.

Özet

Amaç: Romatoid artrit (RA), eklemlerde yıkım, anjiyogenezis, inflamatuar hücre infiltrasyonu, sinovyal hücre apoptozisinde yetersizlik ve proliferasyon ile karakterize kronik inflamatuar bir hastalıktır. Hepatosit büyüme faktörü (HGF), apoptozis inhibisyonu, anjiyogenezis ve inflamasyonun regülasyonu gibi bazı fonksiyonlara sahiptir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, RA'lı hastalarda serum HGF düzeyleri ile intron 13 C/A ve intron 14 T/C HGF gen polimorfizmleri arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmaktı.Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışma 100 RA'lı hasta ve 123 sağlıklı kontrol üzerinde yürütüldü. Serum HGF konsantrasyonları, ELISA yöntemiyle; gen polimorfizmleri ise allelik diskriminasyon analiziyle real-time PCR yöntemiyle belirlendi.Bulgular: RA'lı hastalarda, HGF düzeyleri, intron 13 C/A polimorfizmi için A alleli ve AA genotip frekansı, intron 14 T/C polimorfizmi için ise C alleli ve CC genotip frekansı kontrollere göre artmıştı. Hem hasta hem de kontrol gruplarında serum HGF konsantrasyonları ile HGF genotipleri arasında anlamlı bir ilişki yoktu.Sonuç: HGF protein ve geni, RA etyopatogenezinde önemli role sahip olabilir. Bununla birlikte hastalık süreciyle ilişkili mekanizmaların anlaşılabilmesi için daha ileri çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.
