The Role of Genetic Variation Near Interferon-Kappa in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Harley, Isaac T. W.,Niewold, Timothy B.,Stormont, Rebecca M.,Kaufman, Kenneth M.,Glenn, Stuart B.,Franek, Beverly S.,Kelly, Jennifer A.,Kilpatrick, Jeffrey R.,Hutchings, David,Divers, Jasmin,Bruner, G Hindawi Publishing Corporation 2010 Journal of biomedicine & biotechnology Vol.2010 No.-
<P>Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by increased type I interferons (IFNs) and multiorgan inflammation frequently targeting the skin. IFN-kappa is a type I IFN expressed in skin. A pooled genome-wide scan implicated the <I>IFNK</I> locus in SLE susceptibility. We studied <I>IFNK</I> single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 3982 SLE cases and 4275 controls, composed of European (EA), African-American (AA), and Asian ancestry. rs12553951C was associated with SLE in EA males (odds ratio = 1.93, <I>P</I> = 2.5 × 10<SUP>−4</SUP>), but not females. Suggestive associations with skin phenotypes in EA and AA females were found, and these were also sex-specific. <I>IFNK</I> SNPs were associated with increased serum type I IFN in EA and AA SLE patients. Our data suggest a sex-dependent association between <I>IFNK</I> SNPs and SLE and skin phenotypes. The serum IFN association suggests that <I>IFNK</I> variants could influence type I IFN producing plasmacytoid dendritic cells in affected skin.</P>

The present study was performed in order to clarify the significance of serum amyloid A(SAA) estimation for the diagnosis of bovine amyloidosis and SAA as a useful parameter for the health status in herds. Twelve dutch dairy cows with final diagnosis(2 with amyloidosis, 3 with acute inflammatory disease and 7 with chronic inflammatory disease) were used to charify the significance of SAA determination for the diagnosis of bovine amyloidosis. The SAA concentration in the group of inflammatory disease was higher than that of amyloldotic group. Further the SAA value in the group of acute inflammatory disease was higher than that of chronic ones. To clarify the significance of SAA estimation as a useful parameter for the health status in herds, two Korean dairy farms(A and B) were selected and the SAA concentration was determined in total 76 cows(49 from A farm and 27 from B farm). The SAA concentration in cows from A farm was ranged with 0~169%. The cows with high level of SAA(31~169%) had the disease histories(1 with retained placenta, 3 with chronic mastitis, 2 with acute mastitis, 1 with abortion and acute mastitis, 1 with ovarian dysfunction, 1 with downer cow syndrome and 1 with laceration of the teat). The SAA value in the cows from B farm was ranged with 0~29% and disease history was not detected. In conclusion the SAA determination only is thought to be difficult for the diagnosis of bovine amyloidosis. Furthermore SAA estimation is thought to be a useful parameter for the health status in herds.
