      • Smoking, the HLA-DRB1 shared epitope and ACPA fine-specificity in Koreans with rheumatoid arthritis: evidence for more than one pathogenic pathway linking smoking to disease

        Fisher, Benjamin A,Bang, So-Young,Chowdhury, Muslima,Lee, Hye-Soon,Kim, Jae-Hoon,Charles, Peter,Venables, Patrick,Bae, Sang-Cheol BMJ Publishing Group Ltd 2014 Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases Vol.73 No.4

        <P><B>Objectives</B></P><P>Data from North European rheumatoid arthritis (RA) populations has suggested a particularly strong association of gene-environment interaction between smoking and HLA-DRB1 shared epitope (SE) with antibodies to citrullinated α-enolase (CEP-1) and vimentin (cVim) peptides. We investigated this further by examining anticitrullinated peptide/protein antibody (ACPA) fine specificity in a Korean cohort, where there are notable differences in the RA-associated HLA-DRB1 alleles.</P><P><B>Methods</B></P><P>Antibodies to fibrinogen (cFib), α-enolase (CEP-1) and vimentin (cVim) peptides and cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) were measured in 513 cases. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare antibody levels. Logistic regression generated ORs for RA in a case-control analysis with 1101 controls. Association of ACPA status and erosion in patients with RA was examined by logistic regression.</P><P><B>Results</B></P><P>Anti-CCP, CEP-1, cVim and fibrinogen peptides were found in 86.7%, 63.9%, 45.5% and 74.7%, respectively. The number of ACPA and their levels were associated with SE, with evidence of a gene-dosage effect. There was a particular association of smoking with levels of anti-CEP-1. However, a gene-environment interaction was associated with all the ACPA positive subgroups, albeit the highest OR was seen with the anti-CCP+/cVim+ subset. In the absence of SE, smoking only conferred risk for anti-CCP negative subsets. The presence of erosions was not associated with the number of positive ACPA or specificity.</P><P><B>Conclusions</B></P><P>The SE governed the magnitude and diversity of the ACPA response, but its interaction with smoking did not exclusively segregate with any of the ACPA specificities studied here. Smoking was associated with RA by SE-dependent and independent effects.</P>

        Effects of liposomal-curcumin on five opportunistic bacterial strains found in the equine hindgut - preliminary study

        ( S. D. Bland ),( E. B. Venable ),( J. L. Mcpherson ),( R. L. Atkinson ) 한국축산학회 2017 한국축산학회지 Vol.59 No.6

        Background: The horse intestinal tract is sensitive and contains a highly complex microbial population. A shift in the microbial population can lead to various issues such as inflammation and colic. The use of nutraceuticals in the equine industry is on the rise and curcumin is thought to possess antimicrobial properties that may help to minimize the proliferation of opportunistic bacteria. Methods: Four cecally-cannulated horses were utilized to determine the optimal dose of liposomal-curcumin (LIPC) on reducing Streptococcus bovis/equinus complex (SBEC), Escherichia coli K-12, Escherichia coli general, Clostridium difficile, and Clostridium perfringens in the equine hindgut without adversely affecting cecal characteristics. In the first study cecal fluid was collected from each horse and composited for an in vitro, 24 h batch culture to examine LIPC at four different dosages (15, 20, 25, and 30 g) in a completely randomized design. A subsequent in vivo 4 × 4 Latin square design study was conducted to evaluate no LIPC (control, CON) or LIPC dosed at 15, 25, and 35 g per day (dosages determined from in vitro results) for 9 days on the efficacy of LIPC on selected bacterial strains, pH, and volatile fatty acids. Each period was 14 days with 9 d for acclimation and 5 d withdrawal period. Results: In the in vitro study dosage had no effect (P ≥ 0.42) on Clostridium strains, but as the dose increased SBEC concentrations increased (P = 0.001). Concentrations of the E. coli strain varied with dose. In vivo, LIPC`s antimicrobial properties, at 15 g, significantly decreased (P = 0.02) SBEC when compared to 25 and 35 g dosages. C. perfringens decreased linearly (P = 0.03) as LIPC dose increased. Butyrate decreased linearly (P = 0.01) as LIPC dose increased. Conclusion: Further studies should be conducted with a longer dosing period to examine the antimicrobial properties of curcumin without adversely affecting cecal characteristics.
