The meta-analysis found that KIR2DL2, 2DS1, 2DS2, and 2DS3 genes are susceptibility factors for PsA.
Background: Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) is a seronegative spondyloarthropathy frequently associated with psoriasis. Studies have shown different members of the KIR (Killer Immunoglobulin-like Receptor) gene family may act as potential susceptibility factors; however, data have been inconsistent or with a reduced sample size. Therefore, the objective of this investigation was to determine associations between KIR genes and PsA susceptibility a meta-analysis approach. Methods: We performed a systemic search on PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science to identify association studies linking KIR genes with PsA susceptibility. The search cut-off was May 2019. Odds Ratio (OR), 95% Confidence Intervals (95% CI), and forest plots were obtained for each KIR gene. Publication bias was evaluated by Begg and Egger linear regression tests. Results: Five articles were included in this meta-analysis. The KIR2DL2, 2DS1, 2DS2, and 2DS3 genes were positively associated with susceptibility to PsA (OR = 1.269, p = .003; OR = 1.392, p < .001; OR = 1.279, p = .002; and OR = 1.230, p = .038, respectively). In Caucasians, positive association with susceptibility to PsA were maintained by KIR2DL2, 2DS1, and 2DS2 genes (OR = 1.257, p = .005; OR = 1.535, p = .003; and OR = 1.267, p = .004, respectively). Conclusion: These associations suggest that KIR2DL2, 2DS1, 2DS2, and 2DS3 genes are susceptibility factors for PsA.

Macrophage migration inhibitory factor gene polymorphisms (SNP-173 G>C and STR-794 CATT5-8) confer risk of plaque psoriasis: A case-control study

Jorge Hernandez-Bello, Miroslaba Rodriguez-Puente, Jorge Gutierrez-Cuevas, Samuel Garcia-Arellano, Jose Francisco Munoz-Valle, Mary Fafutis-Morris, Delfina Guadalupe Villanueva-Quintero, Anabell Alvarado-Navarro

Summary: The study found significant differences in genotypic and allelic frequencies for the MIF -173 G>C polymorphism, with carriers of the GC genotype and the C allele having higher odds of developing PP. The 6C haplotype was also associated with increased PP risk, and the -173 CC genotype was linked to elevated MIF serum levels.

Summary: The T allele and TT genotype of the IL-17F rs763780 polymorphism may be associated with a decreased risk of psoriasis, while other polymorphisms in IL-17A, IL-17F, and IL-17RA showed no association with Ps.

Biochemical characterization and insecticidal activity of isolated peptides from the venom of the scorpion Centruroides tecomanus

Summary: The venom of the scorpion Centruroides tecomanus contains two new peptides, Ct-IT1 and Ct-IT2, which are toxic to insects. These peptides have a high toxicity to crickets, causing paralysis even in small amounts. The relative abundance of these peptides in the venom is also significant. The comparison of their molecular masses and N-terminal sequences revealed similarities with peptides from other scorpion venoms. Additionally, the 3D structure analysis showed similarities with known insect toxins from scorpions. These findings suggest that Ct-IT1 and CtIT2 toxins have the potential to be used as a biological control method for pests that affect economically important crops.

Summary: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is characterized by a bimodal mortality pattern related to clinical disease activity and cardiovascular disease (CVD). The high prevalence of CVD in SLE patients is believed to be caused by the complex interaction between traditional and non-traditional CVD risk factors. Additionally, nutritional approaches have the potential to reduce SLE severity and organ damage by modulating the development of CVD risk factors.

Summary: Systemic Sclerosis (SSc), a chronic autoimmune disease, is characterized by immune disorder, microvascular damage, and fibrosis. This study found that the variants +869T > C and +915G > C in the TGFB1 gene are associated with an increased risk of SSc in the Southern Mexican population. Furthermore, these genetic variants were shown to result in lower mRNA expression of TGFB1.
