RESUMO
Here, we assessed whether 41 SNPs within steroid hormone genes associated with erosive disease. The most relevant finding was the rheumatoid factor (RF)-specific effect of the CYP1B1, CYP2C9, ESR2, FcγR3A, and SHBG SNPs to modulate the risk of bone erosions (P = 0.004, 0.0007, 0.0002, 0.013 and 0.015) that was confirmed through meta-analysis of our data with those from the DREAM registry (P = 0.000081, 0.0022, 0.00074, 0.0067 and 0.0087, respectively). Mechanistically, we also found a gender-specific correlation of the CYP2C9rs1799853T/T genotype with serum vitamin D3 levels (P = 0.00085) and a modest effect on IL1ß levels after stimulation of PBMCs or blood with LPS and PHA (P = 0.0057 and P = 0.0058). An overall haplotype analysis also showed an association of 3 ESR1 haplotypes with a reduced risk of erosive arthritis (P = 0.009, P = 0.002, and P = 0.002). Furthermore, we observed that the ESR2, ESR1 and FcγR3A SNPs influenced the immune response after stimulation of PBMCs or macrophages with LPS or Pam3Cys (P = 0.002, 0.0008, 0.0011 and 1.97â¢10-7). Finally, we found that a model built with steroid hormone-related SNPs significantly improved the prediction of erosive disease in seropositive patients (PRF+ = 2.46â¢10-8) whereas no prediction was detected in seronegative patients (PRF- = 0.36). Although the predictive ability of the model was substantially lower in the replication population (PRF+ = 0.014), we could confirm that CYP1B1 and CYP2C9 SNPs help to predict erosive disease in seropositive patients. These results are the first to suggest a RF-specific association of steroid hormone-related polymorphisms with erosive disease.

RESUMO
The aim of this case-control study was to evaluate whether 47 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in steroid hormone-related genes are associated with the risk of RA and anti-TNF drug response. We conducted a case-control study in 3 European populations including 2936 RA patients and 2197 healthy controls. Of those, a total of 1985 RA patients were treated with anti-TNF blockers. The association of potentially interesting markers in the discovery population was validated through meta-analysis with data from DREAM and DANBIO registries. Although none of the selected variants had a relevant role in modulating RA risk, the meta-analysis of the linear regression data with those from the DREAM and DANBIO registries showed a significant correlation of the CYP3A4rs11773597 and CYP2C9rs1799853 variants with changes in DAS28 after the administration of anti-TNF drugs (P = 0.00074 and P = 0.006, respectively). An overall haplotype analysis also showed that the ESR2GGG haplotype significantly associated with a reduced chance of having poor response to anti-TNF drugs (P = 0.0009). Finally, a ROC curve analysis confirmed that a model built with eight steroid hormone-related variants significantly improved the ability to predict drug response compared with the reference model including demographic and clinical variables (AUC = 0.633 vs. AUC = 0.556; PLR_test = 1.52 × 10-6). These data together with those reporting that the CYP3A4 and ESR2 SNPs correlate with the expression of TRIM4 and ESR2 mRNAs in PBMCs (ranging from P = 1.98 × 10-6 to P = 2.0 × 10-35), and that the CYP2C9rs1799853 SNP modulates the efficiency of multiple drugs, suggest that steroid hormone-related genes may have a role in determining the response to anti-TNF drugs.KEY POINTS⢠Polymorphisms within the CYP3A4 and CYP2C9 loci correlate with changes in DAS28 after treatment with anti-TNF drugs.⢠A haplotype including eQTL SNPs within the ESR2 gene associates with better response to anti-TNF drugs.⢠A genetic model built with eight steroid hormone-related variants significantly improved the ability to predict drug response.

Objetivos. Evaluar la eficacia del tratamiento con tocilizumab (TCZ) en pacientes con artritis reumatoide (AR) en práctica clínica, las tasas de supervivencia del fármaco y variables clínicas predictoras de respuesta. Métodos. Es un estudio descriptivo, prospectivo, longitudinal y abierto en el que se incluyó a pacientes en condiciones de práctica clínica que recibieron TCZ (8mg/kg/cada 4 semanas). Las respuestas clínicas se midieron utilizando los criterios de respuesta de la European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR), las tasas de actividad baja y remisión según el Disease activity score-28 (DAS28-VSG) y Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI). Resultados. La tasa de respuesta EULAR fue del 86,63%, con una tasa de remisión DAS28 del 53,7% a los 6 meses de tratamiento. El 52,9% de los pacientes presentaron baja actividad de la enfermedad a los 24 meses según CDAI y 47,1% según DAS28. No hubo diferencias significativas en cuanto a respuesta EULAR, baja actividad y remisión DAS28 entre pacientes en tratamiento con TCZ en monoterapia y terapia combinada, ni entre pacientes positivos y negativos para factor reumatoide (FR) y/o anticuerpo antipéptido cíclico citrulinado (anti-PCC). Los pacientes que recibieron TCZ de primera línea presentaron mejores tasas de remisión y baja actividad a los 6 meses. La tasa de supervivencia fue del 61% a los 24 meses, siendo una de las causas de discontinuación más frecuente los efectos adversos. Conclusión. El TCZ es efectivo en pacientes con AR, tiene eficacia similar cuando se utiliza en monoterapia o en combinación con fármacos antirreumáticos modificadores de la enfermedad (FAME) sintéticos y presenta altas tasas de supervivencia (AU)
Objectives. To evaluate the efficacy of tocilizumab (TCZ) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in clinical practice, retention rates of the drug and predictors of response. Methods. We performed a descriptive, prospective, longitudinal, open-label study in patients receiving TCZ (8mg/kg/4 weeks) in a clinical practice setting. The clinical responses were evaluated using the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) response criteria, and the low activity and remission rates according to the Disease Activity Score 28-erythrocyte sedimentation rate (DAS28-ESR) and the Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI). Results. The EULAR response rate was 86.63% and the DAS28 remission rate was 53.7% after 6 months of treatment; rates of low disease activity were 52.9% on CDAI and 47.1% on DAS28 at month 24. There were no statistically significant differences in EULAR response, rates of low activity and remission on DAS28 between patients receiving TCZ alone and those receiving TCZ in combination therapy, or between patients positive or negative for rheumatoid factor (RF) and/or anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) antibodies. The naïve biological therapy patients showed better remission and low activity rates after 6 months of treatment. The retention rate was 61% at month 24. Adverse events were among the most frequent causes of discontinuation. Conclusions. Tocilizumab is effective in RA, has a similar efficacy when used alone or in combination with synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) and shows high retention rates (AU)

The present study was conducted to explore whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in Th1 and Th17 cell-mediated immune response genes differentially influence the risk of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in women and men. In phase one, 27 functional/tagging polymorphisms in C-type lectins and MCP-1/CCR2 axis were genotyped in 458 RA patients and 512 controls. Carriers of Dectin-2 rs4264222T allele had an increased risk of RA (ORâ=â1.47, 95%CI 1.10-1.96) whereas patients harboring the DC-SIGN rs4804803G, MCP-1 rs1024611G, MCP-1 rs13900T and MCP-1 rs4586C alleles had a decreased risk of developing the disease (ORâ=â0.66, 95%CI 0.49-0.88; ORâ=â0.66, 95%CI 0.50-0.89; ORâ=â0.73, 95%CI 0.55-0.97 and ORâ=â0.68, 95%CI 0.51-0.91). Interestingly, significant gender-specific differences were observed for Dectin-2 rs4264222 and Dectin-2 rs7134303: women carrying the Dectin-2 rs4264222T and Dectin-2 rs7134303G alleles had an increased risk of RA (ORâ=â1.93, 95%CI 1.34-2.79 and ORâ=â1.90, 95%CI 1.29-2.80). Also five other SNPs showed significant associations only with one gender: women carrying the MCP-1 rs1024611G, MCP-1 rs13900T and MCP-1 rs4586C alleles had a decreased risk of RA (ORâ=â0.61, 95%CI 0.43-0.87; ORâ=â0.67, 95%CI 0.47-0.95 and ORâ=â0.60, 95%CI 0.42-0.86). In men, carriers of the DC-SIGN rs2287886A allele had an increased risk of RA (ORâ=â1.70, 95%CI 1.03-2.78), whereas carriers of the DC-SIGN rs4804803G had a decreased risk of developing the disease (ORâ=â0.53, 95%CI 0.32-0.89). In phase 2, we genotyped these SNPs in 754 RA patients and 519 controls, leading to consistent gender-specific associations for Dectin-2 rs4264222, MCP-1 rs1024611, MCP-1 rs13900 and DC-SIGN rs4804803 polymorphisms in the pooled sample (ORâ=â1.38, 95%CI 1.08-1.77; ORâ=â0.74, 95%CI 0.58-0.94; ORâ=â0.76, 95%CI 0.59-0.97 and ORâ=â0.56, 95%CI 0.34-0.93). SNP-SNP interaction analysis of significant SNPs also showed a significant two-locus interaction model in women that was not seen in men. This model consisted of Dectin-2 rs4264222 and Dectin-2 rs7134303 SNPs and suggested a synergistic effect between the variants. These findings suggest that Dectin-2, MCP-1 and DC-SIGN polymorphisms may, at least in part, account for gender-associated differences in susceptibility to RA.
