RESUMO
Background: Mounting evidence suggests a connection between inflammatory cytokines and adhesive capsulitis (AC). However, the specific systemic inflammatory cytokines contributing to AC have not been clearly identified. This study employed Mendelian randomization (MR) to explore the causal relationships between 41 inflammatory cytokines and AC. Methods: In this bidirectional, two-sample MR analysis, genetic variations associated with AC were derived from a comprehensive genome-wide association study (GWAS). The inflammatory cytokines data were sourced from a GWAS summary involving 8,293 healthy participants. The primary MR method employed was inverse variance weighting, supplemented by MR-Egger, weighted median, and MR-pleiotropy residual sum and outlier for sensitivity analysis. Heterogeneity was assessed using Cochran's Q test, and the MR results were validated using the leave-one-out method. Results: Elevated levels of interferon gamma-induced protein 10 (IP-10) (odds ratio (OR) = 1.086, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.002-1.178) and regulated on activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted (RANTES) (OR = 1.107, 95% CI = 1.026-1.195) were linked to an increased risk of AC. Increased levels of stromal cell-derived factor-1 alpha (SDF-1α) (OR = 0.879, 95% CI = 0.793-0.974) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) (OR = 0.911, 95% CI = 0.831-0.999) were associated with a reduced AC risk. Moreover, genetically predicted AC exhibited associations with elevated cutaneous T cell attracting (CTACK) levels (OR = 1.202, 95% CI = 1.007-1.435) and diminished levels of interleukin-17 (IL-17) (OR = 0.678, 95% CI = 0.518-0.888) and interleukin-5 (IL-5) (OR = 0.786, 95% CI = 0.654-0.944), as confirmed through inverse-variance weighted (IVW) methods. Conclusion: The present study successfully establishes a causal association between genetically proxied circulating levels of IP-10, RANTES, SDF-1α, and TNF-α and the risk of AC. Additionally, AC contributes to an increase in CTACK and a decrease in IL-17 and IL-5. This significant finding not only enhances the understanding of the pathogenesis of AC but also holds promise for the development of effective clinical management strategies.

INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to assess the causal relationship between diabetes and frozen shoulder by investigating the target proteins associated with diabetes and frozen shoulder in the human plasma proteome through Mendelian randomization (MR) and to reveal the corresponding pathological mechanisms. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We employed the MR approach for the purposes of establishing: (1) the causal link between diabetes and frozen shoulder; (2) the plasma causal proteins associated with frozen shoulder; (3) the plasma target proteins associated with diabetes; and (4) the causal relationship between diabetes target proteins and frozen shoulder causal proteins. The MR results were validated and consolidated through colocalization analysis and protein-protein interaction network. RESULTS: Our MR analysis demonstrated a significant causal relationship between diabetes and frozen shoulder. We found that the plasma levels of four proteins were correlated with frozen shoulder at the Bonferroni significance level (p<3.03E-5). According to colocalization analysis, parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHLH) was moderately correlated with the genetic variance of frozen shoulder (posterior probability=0.68), while secreted frizzled-related protein 4 was highly correlated with the genetic variance of frozen shoulder (posterior probability=0.97). Additionally, nine plasma proteins were activated during diabetes-associated pathologies. Subsequent MR analysis of nine diabetic target proteins with four frozen shoulder causal proteins indicated that insulin receptor subunit alpha, interleukin-6 receptor subunit alpha, interleukin-1 receptor accessory protein, glutathione peroxidase 7, and PTHLH might contribute to the onset and progression of frozen shoulder induced by diabetes. CONCLUSIONS: Our study identified a causal relationship between diabetes and frozen shoulder, highlighting the pathological pathways through which diabetes influences frozen shoulder.

Multiple studies have indicated a potential correlation between immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) and Frozen shoulder (FS). To explore the genetic causal relationship between IMIDs and FS using 2-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. Genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary data for FS were obtained from Green's study, while data for 10 IMIDs were sourced from the FinnGen Consortium. The MR analysis was performed using inverse variance weighting, MR Egger, and weighted median methods. IVW, as the primary MR analysis technique, was complemented with other sensitivity analyses to validate the robustness of the results. Additionally, reverse MR analysis was further conducted to investigate the presence of reverse causal relationships. In the forward MR analysis, genetically determined 4 IMIDs are causally associated with FS: rheumatoid arthritis (odds ratio [OR] (95% confidence interval [95% CI])â =â 1.05 [1.02-1.09], Pâ <â .01); type 1 diabetes (OR [95% CI]â =â 1.06 [1.03-1.09], Pâ <â .01); hypothyroidism (OR [95% CI]â =â 1.07 [1.01-1.14], Pâ =â .02); and Celiac disease (OR [95% CI]â =â 1.02 [1.01-1.04], Pâ =â .01). However, no causal relationship was found between 6 IMIDs (autoimmune hyperthyroidism, Crohn disease, ulcerative colitis, psoriasis, sicca syndrome and systemic lupus erythematosus) and FS. Sensitivity analyses did not detect any heterogeneity or horizontal pleiotropy. In the reverse MR analysis, no causal relationship was observed between FS and IMIDs. In conclusion, this MR study suggests a potential causal relationship between rheumatoid arthritis, type 1 diabetes, hypothyroidism, and Celiac disease in the onset and development of FS. Nevertheless, more basic and clinical research will be needed in the future to support our findings.

The study aimed to explore the pathogenesis of secondary frozen shoulder and its influence on synovium tissue and angiogenesis by constructing a rat secondary frozen shoulder model along with transforming growth factor. 40 healthy male rats aged 8 weeks were divided into Sham group (n=10, no modeling treatment), Control group (n=10, modeling treatment), Low group (n=10, modeling treatment, and 10 mL/d transforming growth factor), and High group (n=10, modeling treatment, and 20 mL/d transforming growth factor). Hematoxylin and Eosin (HE) method was used for histological detection, and Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemical staining method were adopted to detect the expression of Matrix metalloproteinase-14 (MMP-14), mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38MAPK), and Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Compared with Sham group, the range of abduction and external rotation of rat glenohumeral joint in Control group, Low group, and High group was significantly reduced, and High group had the smallest range. Compared with the Sham group, the synovium in the Control group, the Low group, and the High group had obvious hyperplasia, and the blood vessels were significantly increased. Immunohistochemical staining and RT-PCR results showed that compared with Sham group, MMP-14, p38 MAPK, and VEGF in Control group, Low group, and High group all increased significantly, among which High group increased most. The secondary frozen shoulder is mainly manifested as synovial hyperplasia and increased blood vessels, which are related to the induction of MMP-14, p38 MAPK, and VEGF by transforming growth factor, which reveals the pathogenesis of secondary frozen shoulder to a certain extent, and lays a foundation for subsequent clinical treatment of secondary frozen shoulder.

To investigate the causal relationship between dried fruit intake and frozen shoulder using Mendelian randomization (MR). Genome wide association studies were conducted to pool data and select genetic loci independently associated with dried fruit intake and frozen shoulder in people of European ancestry as instrumental variables. Three MR analyses, inverse variance weighting, weighted median and MR-Egger, were used to investigate the causal relationship between dried fruit intake and frozen shoulder. Heterogeneity and multiplicity tests were used, and sensitivity analyses were conducted using the leave-one-out method to explore the robustness of the results. The inverse variance weighting results showed an OR (95 % CI) of 0.52 (0.34-0.80), Pâ =â .003, suggesting that there is a causal relationship between dried fruit intake and frozen shoulder. And no heterogeneity and multiplicity were found by the test and sensitivity analysis also showed robust results. The present study used a two-sample MR analysis, and by analyzing and exploring the genetic data, the study showed that too little intake of dry fruits is a risk factor for developing frozen shoulder.

To investigate the causal relationship between hypothyroidism and frozen shoulder using a Mendelian randomization (MR) approach. Pooled data from a large-scale genome-wide association study (GWAS) were used. Genetic loci that were independent of each other and associated with hypothyroidism and frozen shoulder in populations of European ancestry were selected as instrumental variables. Inverse variance weighting (IVW) was used as the primary analysis method. Weighted median (WME) and MR-Egger were used as complementary analysis methods to assess causal effects. To explore the causal relationship between hypothyroidism and frozen shoulder. Sensitivity test analysis was performed using heterogeneity test, multiple validity test, and leave-one-out analysis to explore the robustness of the results. IVW results showed an OR (95% CI) of 1.07 (1.01-1.14), P = .024, indicating that hypothyroidism is a risk factor for a frozen shoulder. And no pleiotropy was found by the test, and sensitivity analysis also showed robust results. This study used 2-sample MR analysis to analyze and explore the genetic data, and the results showed a higher prevalence of frozen shoulder in patients with hypothyroidism, suggesting that active control of hypothyroidism may reduce the occurrence of frozen shoulder.

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to explore the mechanism of miR-211-5p in extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in improving frozen shoulder (FS) in rat models. METHODS: Rat BMSCs and EVs derived from rat BMSCs were isolated, identified, and then injected into rats to assess the expression of TGF-ß, MMP1, MMP3, MMP12, GAP43, and PGP9.5 in shoulder capsule tissues. The range of motion of bilateral glenohumeral joints was assessed and pathological changes of shoulder capsule tissues were observed after hematoxylin-eosin staining. The binding sites of miR-211-5p to KDM2B and LACC1 to H3K4me3 were measured. FS rat models with LACC1 highly expressed were established to assess the motion of bilateral glenohumeral joints and expression of arthritis related factors in rats. RESULTS: EVs were successfully extracted from BMSCs. Injection of BMSCs-EVs could improve the activity of bilateral glenohumeral joints and the pathological condition of joint capsule in rats. Elevated expression of miR-211-5p was found in rats injected with BMSCs-EVs. Dual luciferase assay showed that miR-211-5p had a binding site with KDM2B. ChIP, qRT-PCR, and western blot experiments showed BMSCs-EVs injection resulted in elevated enrichment of LACC1 promoter in shoulder capsule tissues of FS rats, and decreased mRNA and protein expression of KDM2B and increased H3K4me3 methylation. Overexpression of LACC1 could also improve the pathological condition of joint capsule tissue. CONCLUSION: miR-211-5p in EVs derived from BMSCs increased H3K4me3 methylation in shoulder capsule tissue of rats by binding KDM2B, resulting in up-regulated transcription level of LACC1 and improving FS.

BACKGROUND: The etiology of adhesive capsulitis involves inflammation, thickening, and fibrosis of the shoulder capsule. The underlying genetic factors are poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to identify genetic variants associated with adhesive capsulitis using the UK Biobank (UKB) cohort and compare them with variants associated with Dupuytren disease investigating a common etiology between the 2 fibrotic disorders. METHODS: A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed using data from UKB with 10,773 cases of adhesive capsulitis, and a second GWAS was performed with 8891 cases of Dupuytren disease. Next, a comparison of association statistics was performed between adhesive capsulitis and Dupuytren disease using the data from both GWAS. Finally, single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) previously reported from candidate gene studies for adhesive capsulitis and Dupuytren disease were tested for association with adhesive capsulitis and Dupuytren disease using the summary statistics from their respective GWAS. RESULTS: The UKB GWAS for adhesive capsulitis identified 6 loci that reached genome-wide statistical significance: a cluster of 11 closely linked SNPs on chromosome 1; a single SNP on chromosome 2; a single SNP on chromosome 14; 2 closely linked SNPs on chromosome 21; 33 closely linked SNPs on chromosome 22; and 3 closely linked SNPs on the X chromosome. These SNPs were associated with 8 different genes including TSPAN2/NGF, SATB2, MRPL52/MMP14, ERG, WNT7B, and FGF13. A GWAS for Dupuytren disease was performed and a comparison to the adhesive capsulitis GWAS showed 13 loci significantly associated with both phenotypes. A validation attempt of 6 previously reported SNPs associated with adhesive capsulitis using UKB summary statistics was unable to confirm any of the previously reported SNPs (all P > .19). All 23 previously reported SNPs associated with Dupuytren disease were confirmed using the UKB summary statistics (P < 2.1 × 10-3) CONCLUSION: This GWAS investigating adhesive capsulitis has identified 6 novel loci involving 8 different genes to be associated with adhesive capsulitis. A GWAS investigating Dupuytren disease was performed and compared to the adhesive capsulitis GWAS, and 13 common loci were identified between the 2 disorders with genes involved in pathologic fibrosis. We were unable to validate the SNPs in candidate genes previously reported to be associated with adhesive capsulitis although we were able to confirm all previously reported SNPs associated with Dupuytren disease. The strong genetic overlap between the adhesive capsulitis and Dupuytren disease loci suggests a similar etiology between the 2 diseases.

BACKGROUND: Adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder involves loss of passive range of motion with associated pain and can develop spontaneously, with no obvious injury or inciting event. The pathomechanism of this disorder remains to be elucidated, but known risk factors for adhesive capsulitis include diabetes, female sex, and thyroid dysfunction. Additionally, transcriptional profiling and pedigree analyses have suggested a role for genetics. Identification of elements of genetic risk for adhesive capsulitis using population-based techniques can provide the basis for guiding both the personalized treatment of patients based on their genetic profiles and the development of new treatments by identification of the pathomechanism. METHODS: A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted using the U.K. Biobank (a collection of approximately 500,000 patients with genetic data and associated ICD-10 [International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision] codes), comparing 2,142 patients with the ICD-10 code for adhesive capsulitis (M750) to those without. Separate GWASs were conducted controlling for 2 of the known risk factors of adhesive capsulitis-hypothyroidism and diabetes. Logistic regression analysis was conducted controlling for factors including sex, thyroid dysfunction, diabetes, shoulder dislocation, smoking, and genetics. RESULTS: Three loci of significance were identified: rs34315830 (in WNT7B; odds ratio [OR] = 1.28; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.22 to 1.39), rs2965196 (in MAU2; OR = 1.67; 95% CI, 1.39 to 2.00), and rs1912256 (in POU1F1; OR = 1.22; 95% CI, 1.14 to 1.31). These loci retained significance when controlling for thyroid dysfunction and diabetes. The OR for total genetic risk was 5.81 (95% CI, 4.08 to 8.31), compared with 1.70 (95% CI, 1.18 to 2.36) for hypothyroidism and 4.23 (95% CI, 2.32 to 7.05) for diabetes. CONCLUSIONS: The total genetic risk associated with adhesive capsulitis was significant and similar to the risks associated with hypothyroidism and diabetes. Identification of WNT7B, POU1F1, and MAU2 implicates the Wnt pathway and cell proliferation response in the pathomechanism of adhesive capsulitis. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Prognostic Level III . See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

BACKGROUND: Severe frozen shoulder (FS) is often resistant to treatment and can thus result in long-term functional impairment. However, its etiology remains unknown. We hypothesized that gene expression of FS would vary by synovial location. METHODS: The synovial tissues of patients with FS were collected prospectively and analyzed for the expression of 19 genes. Synovial tissues from patients with rotator cuff tear (RCT) or shoulder instability (SI) were also analyzed as controls. A total of 10 samples were analyzed from each group. The specimens were arthroscopically taken from three different locations: rotator interval (RI), axillary recess (AX), and subacromial bursa (SAB). Total RNA was extracted from the collected tissues and was analyzed by real-time polymerase chain reaction for the following genes: matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs); tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs); inflammatory cytokines (IL1B, TNF, and IL6); type I and II procollagen (COL1A1 and COL2A1); growth factors (IGF1 and TGFB1); neural factors (NGF and NGFR); SOX9; and ACTA2. RESULTS: Site-specific analysis showed that MMP13, IL-6, SOX9, and COL1A1 were increased in all three sites. Four genes (MMP3, MMP9, COL2A1, and NGFR) were increased in the AX, MMP3 in the RI, and NGFR in the SAB were increased in the FS group than in the RCT and SI groups. In the FS group, there was a correlation between the expression of genes related to chondrogenesis (MMP2, IGF1, SOX9, COL2A1, NGF, and NGFR) or fibrosis (MMP9, TGFB1, and COL1A1). CONCLUSION: The expression levels of numerous MMPs, pro-inflammatory cytokines, and collagen-related genes were increased in the FS group, suggesting that catabolic and anabolic changes have simultaneously occurred. In addition, genes related to chondrogenesis or fibrosis were highly expressed in the FS group, which might have affected the range of motion limitation of the shoulder. Compared to RI and SAB, the AX was the most common site of increased expression in FS. Analyzing the lower region of the shoulder joint may lead to the elucidation of the pathogenesis of FS.

BACKGROUND: Diabetic patients have a greater incidence of adhesive capsulitis (AC) and a more protracted disease course than patients with idiopathic AC. The purpose of this study was to compare gene expression differences between AC with diabetes mellitus and AC without diabetes mellitus. METHODS: Shoulder capsule samples were prospectively obtained from diabetic or nondiabetic patients who presented with shoulder dysfunction and underwent arthroscopy (N = 16). Shoulder samples of AC with and without diabetes (n = 8) were compared with normal shoulder samples with and without diabetes as the control group (n = 8). Shoulder capsule samples were subjected to whole-transcriptome RNA sequencing, and differential expression was analyzed with EdgeR. Only genes with a false discovery rate < 5% were included for further functional enrichment analysis. RESULTS: The sample population had a mean age of 47 years (range, 24-62 years), and the mean hemoglobin A1c level for nondiabetic and diabetic patients was 5.18% and 8.71%, respectively. RNA-sequencing analysis revealed that 66 genes were differentially expressed between diabetic patients and nondiabetic patients with AC whereas only 3 genes were differentially expressed when control patients with and without diabetes were compared. Furthermore, 286 genes were differentially expressed in idiopathic AC patients, and 61 genes were differentially expressed in diabetic AC patients. On gene clustering analysis, idiopathic AC was enriched with multiple structural and muscle-related pathways, such as muscle filament sliding, whereas diabetic AC included a greater number of hormonal and inflammatory signaling pathways, such as cellular response to corticotropin-releasing factor. CONCLUSIONS: Whole-transcriptome expression profiles demonstrate a fundamentally different underlying pathophysiology when comparing diabetic AC with idiopathic AC, suggesting that these conditions are distinct clinical entities. The new genes expressed explain the differences in the disease course and suggest new therapeutic targets that may lead to different treatment paradigms in these 2 subsets.

Frozen shoulder is a painful condition that often requires surgery and affects up to 5% of individuals aged 40-60 years. Little is known about the causes of the condition, but diabetes is a strong risk factor. To begin to understand the biological mechanisms involved, we aimed to identify genetic variants associated with frozen shoulder and to use Mendelian randomization to test the causal role of diabetes. We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of frozen shoulder in the UK Biobank using data from 10,104 cases identified from inpatient, surgical and primary care codes. We used data from FinnGen for replication and meta-analysis. We used one-sample and two-sample Mendelian randomization approaches to test for a causal association of diabetes with frozen shoulder. We identified five genome-wide significant loci. The most significant locus (lead SNP rs28971325; OR = 1.20, [95% CI: 1.16-1.24], p = 5x10-29) contained WNT7B. This variant was also associated with Dupuytren's disease (OR = 2.31 [2.24, 2.39], p<1x10-300) as were a further two of the frozen shoulder associated variants. The Mendelian randomization results provided evidence that type 1 diabetes is a causal risk factor for frozen shoulder (OR = 1.03 [1.02-1.05], p = 3x10-6). There was no evidence that obesity was causally associated with frozen shoulder, suggesting that diabetes influences risk of the condition through glycemic rather than mechanical effects. We have identified genetic loci associated with frozen shoulder. There is a large overlap with Dupuytren's disease associated loci. Diabetes is a likely causal risk factor. Our results provide evidence of biological mechanisms involved in this common painful condition.

OBJECTIVES: Primary frozen shoulder (pFS) has three phases that differ in clinical presentation. It is characterized by contracture of the joint capsule. We hypothesized that there is a general upregulation of collagens in pFS, and that this is highest in the first phase of the disease. The aims of this study were to investigate the expression of various collagens and degradation of collagens in patients with primary pFS and relate this to the three phases of the condition. METHODS: From twenty-six patients with pFS and eight control patients with subacromial impingement, biopsies were obtained during shoulder arthroscopy from the middle glenohumeral ligament and the anterior capsule, and mRNA levels for collagens, MMP-2 and -14 and TGF-ß1, - ß2 and -ß3 in the tissue were analysed using real-time PCR. RESULTS: Genes for collagens type I, III, IV, V, VI and XIV, were activated in pFS, and the total mRNA for all collagens was increased (P < 0.05). This upregulation was independent of disease phases in pFS. In addition, MMP-2, MMP-14, TGF-ß1 and TGF-ß3 were upregulated in all phases of the disease. CONCLUSION: There is a general upregulation and an increased degradation of collagens in pFS in all three phases of the disease. This indicates a constantly increased turnover of the fibrotic tissue in the capsule from pFS. The difference in clinical presentation of pFS observed in the three phases of the disease is not primarily a result of variations in collagen production.

Frozen shoulder is a condition of loss of active and passive motion as result of inflammatory contracture and fibrosis of the joint capsule. We hypothesize that genetic variants in genes involved in these processes such as genes that play a role in extracellular matrix homeostasis (collagens, glycoproteins, genes involved in TGFß signaling, and metalloproteinases and its inhibitors) may contribute to the susceptibility to frozen shoulder. We evaluated eighteen SNPs of genes involved in extracellular matrix homeostasis in 186 cases (Nfemales = 114; Nmales = 72) of frozen shoulder and 600 age-matched controls (Nfemales = 308; Nmales = 292). Multivariate logistic regressions were carried out with age, gender, genetic ancestry, and common comorbidities as covariates. Carriers of the C allele of MMP13 rs2252070 and G/G MMP9 (rs17576 A>G/rs17577 G>A) haplotype may have an increased risk of frozen shoulder (p = 0.002, OR = 1.64, 95%CI = 1.20-2.26, and p = 0.046, OR = 1.40, 95%CI = 1.01-1.95, respectively), especially in females (p = 0.005, OR = 1.91, 95%CI = 1.22-2.99, and p = 0.046, OR = 1.59, 95%CI = 1.01-2.51, respectively). In females, the G allele of MMP9 rs17576 tended to contribute to the susceptibility to the studied disease (p = 0.05, OR = 1.51, 95%CI = 0.97-2.33). In contrast, the presence of the C allele of TGFB1 rs1800470 seems to be associated with a reduced risk (p = 0.04, OR = 0.47, 95%CI = 0.23-0.96) while the GG-genotype of TGFBR1 rs1590 was associated with increased risk (p = 0.027, OR = 4.11, 95%CI = 1.17-14.38) to frozen shoulder development in males. Thus, we identified genetic variants that were independent risk factors that can aid in the risk assessment of frozen shoulder reinforcing the involvement of MMP and TGFß signaling in disease development. © 2019 Orthopaedic Research Society.

PURPOSE: Relationship between shoulder adhesive capsulitis (AC) and hypercholesterolemia is known. The connecting link might be represented by the correlation between HDL and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-ß): normally, HDLs stimulate TGF-ß expression; the latter is employed in the development of fibrous tissue. We assess whether the presence of the Apo-A1-G75A-polymorphism, which is correlated to an enhanced HDL function, could be a risk factor for the genesis and severity of AC. METHODS: Peripheral blood samples of 27 patients [7M; 20F, mean age 54.81 (41-65)] with AC and hypercholesterolemia were submitted to polymerase chain reaction in order to evaluate the Apo-A1-G75A-polymorphism. Genome database was used as control. Two categories were obtained according to AC severity: type I (active forward flexion ≥ 100°) and type II (< 100°). Data were submitted to statistics. RESULTS: The prevalence of Apo-A1-G75A-polymorphism in the studied group and in the control group was 22.2% (10AG; 1AA; 16GG) and 19% (OR 1.22, IC 0.59-2.53, p > 0.05), respectively. Patients with type I and II capsulitis were 11 [flexion 148.0° (range 100°-165°)] and 16 [flexion 82.5° (range 50°-95°)], respectively. The prevalence of Apo-A1-G75A in type I was 18.1% (2AG; 9GG) and in type II was 56.3% (8GA; 1AA; 7GG), respectively (RR 1.87, IC 1.005-3.482, p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Apo-A1-G75A-polymorphism is not necessary for the genesis, but it is a risk factor for severity of AC. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III.

BACKGROUND: The etiology of frozen shoulder (FS) is unclear. Accordingly, this study used a label-free quantitative shotgun proteomic approach to elucidate the pathogenesis of FS based on protein expression levels. METHODS: Tissue samples from the rotator interval (RI), middle glenohumeral ligament (MGHL), and anterior-inferior glenohumeral ligament (IGHL) were collected from 12 FSs with severe stiffness and 7 shoulders with a rotator cuff tear (RCT) as controls. Protein mixtures were digested and analyzed by nano-liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry. Relative protein expression levels were calculated by the signal intensity of identified peptide ions on mass spectra. Differentially expressed proteins between FS and RCT samples were evaluated by a gene enrichment analysis using Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes. RESULTS: We identified 1594 proteins, 1358 of which were expressed in all 6 tissue groups. We detected more upregulated proteins in the upper (RI and MGHL) FS groups and the lower (IGHL) RCT group than in the comparative groups, respectively. Various proteins with functions in tissue repair, collagen metabolism and fibrillation, cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesion, blood coagulation, and the immune response were expressed more highly in the RI and MGHL FS groups than in the RCT group. Proteins with functions in phagocytosis, glutathione metabolism, retinoid metabolism, and cholesterol metabolism were expressed more highly in the IGHL RCT group than in the FS group. CONCLUSIONS: The pathophysiology of FS differs between the upper and lower parts of the joint capsule. Different treatment strategies for FS may be appropriate, depending on the location.

The present study aimed to investigate idiopathic adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder), to gain insights on its pathogenesis, diagnosis and therapeutic targets. Using RNAsequencing (seq), the present study investigated differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in five samples from five idiopathic adhesive capsulitis patients and two samples from two acromioclavicular dislocation patients, without idiopathic adhesive capsulitis. The DEGs were analyzed using the following tools: Gene Ontology enrichment analysis, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathways analysis and proteinprotein interaction analysis. A total of 188 DEGs were identified and it was observed that 150 of these were upregulated and 38 were downregulated. It was hypothesized that various nutrient associated proteins may be associated with idiopathic adhesive capsulitis. The Matrix metalloproteinase family of proteins (MMPs), may exhibit a key role in the formation of abnormal collagen crosslinks. Overall, the comprehensive and detailed information collected in the present study, regarding idiopathic adhesive capsulitis, may provide a foundation on which indepth followup experiments may be based, aimed at identifying novel strategies for treatment of this disease.

Primary frozen shoulder (PFS) is a common condition of uncertain etiology that is characterized by shoulder pain and restriction of active and passive glenohumeral motions. The pathophysiology involves chronic inflammation and fibrosis of the joint capsule. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at IL-1ß, MMP3, TGF-ß1, and GDF5 have been associated with risk of a variety of inflammatory diseases; however, no studies have examined these SNPs with susceptibility to PFS. We investigated allele and genotype frequencies of rs1143627 at IL-1ß, rs650108 at MMP-3, rs1800469 at TGF-ß1, and rs143383 at GDF5 in 42 patients with PFS and 50 healthy controls in a Chinese Han population. Serum samples from both cohorts were evaluated to determine the expression levels of IL-1ß. We found that the IL-1ß rs1143627 CC genotype was associated with a decreased risk of PFS compared to the TT genotype (P = 0.022) and that serum IL-1ß was expressed at a significantly higher level in the PFS cohort compared to that found in the control group (P < 0.001). Our findings indicated no evidence of an association between rs650108, rs1800469, or rs143383 and PFS. IL-1ß is associated with susceptibility to PFS and may have a role in its pathogenesis in a Chinese Han population.

BACKGROUND: Frozen shoulder is a common disorder that leads to substantial functional loss for patients by impairing activities of daily living. It also adversely affects patients and society by impairing the ability to work. Its pathogenesis is not fully understood. The aim of the present study was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the evidence suggesting a genetic link to frozen shoulder. METHODS: A literature search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CINAHL databases using relevant keywords revealed 5506 studies. After appropriate screening of titles, abstracts, and full studies, seven studies were analyzed. RESULTS: Three studies investigated rates of frozen shoulder among relatives. One study (n = 1828 twin pairs) showed an 11.6% prevalence in twin pairs and demonstrated a heritability of 42% for frozen shoulder after adjusting for age. A second study (n = 273) showed that 20% of patients with frozen shoulder had a positive family history involving a first-degree relative. The relative risk of frozen shoulder was 4:1 when all patients with frozen shoulder were compared with a control population. A third study (n = 87) showed that 29% of patients with frozen shoulder had a first-degree relative with frozen shoulder. Two studies evaluated racial predilection for frozen shoulder. One study (n = 50) reported a substantially higher number of white patients (76%) with frozen shoulder than black patients (24%). A second study (n = 87) showed that being born or having parents or grandparents born in the British Isles were risk factors for frozen shoulder. Four immunological studies investigated human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B27 as a risk factor for frozen shoulder. Meta-analysis of two of these studies with clearly defined controls showed significantly higher rates of HLA-B27 positivity in patients with frozen shoulder as compared with controls (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: The limited evidence points toward a genetic link to frozen shoulder. We used family history and racial predilection as markers for genetic association, both of which indicated the presence of a genetic predisposition to frozen shoulder. However, as there is a lack of unbiased genetic approaches, there is an opportunity for genome-wide association studies to address definitively the molecular genetics of frozen shoulder. Such studies may eventually lead to a better understanding of the pathogenesis of frozen shoulder and the development of novel therapeutic interventions. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Prognostic Level IV.
