Mendelian randomization analysis of the correlation between interleukin and the risk of gynecological tumors

  • 摘要: 目的  采用双样本孟德尔随机化(Mendelian randomization,MR)分析研究不同的白介素与妇科肿瘤(包括宫颈癌、子宫内膜癌和子宫平滑肌瘤)的相关关系。方法  应用IEU OpenGWAS公开数据库,白介素和妇科肿瘤数据均来自欧洲人群。应用双样本MR分析,以不同的白介素作为暴露因素,选择GWAS数据中显著的SNP作为工具变量,并确保工具变量互相独立。以3种妇科肿瘤的发病风险作为结局因素进行单独分析,探究由基因预测的白介素与结局指标间的因果关系。应用R语言(4.3.1)软件中的TwoSampleMR包进行统计学分析。使用逆方差加权法(inverse-variance weighted,IVW)、MR Egger回归、加权中位数法(weighted median,WM)、简单模式法(Simple mode,SM)和加权模式法(Weighted mode,WM)进行MR分析,分析结果以风险比(Odds Ratio,OR)和95%CI表示。为评估MR分析结果是否有潜在偏倚,以及是否存在某一个工具变量严重影响结局变量,应用包括异质性检验、水平多效性分析和留一法敏感性检验进行敏感性分析。 结果  遗传预测的IL-18受体1(IVW:OR=0.999,95%CI:0.998-1.000,p=3.90E-02)和IL-24(IVW:OR=0.999,95%CI:0.998-1.000,p=2.46E-02)与宫颈癌发病风险负相关;IL-4(IVW:OR=1.091,95%CI:1.004-1.186,p=3.98E-02),IL-21(IVW:OR=1.069,95%CI:1.008-1.133,p=2.59E-02)和IL-37(Weighted median:OR=1.112,95%CI:1.012-1.221,p=2.66E-02)与子宫内膜癌发病风险正相关;IL-15受体a亚单位(IVW:OR=0.932,95%CI:0.887-0.978,p=4.63E-03)与子宫内膜癌发病风险负相关;IL-17A(IVW:OR=0.998,95%CI:0.997-0.999,p=5.20E-03)和IL-37(Weighted median:OR=0.999,95%CI:0.998-1.000,p=1.75E-02)与子宫平滑肌瘤发病风险负相关;IL-21(IVW:OR=1.001,95%CI:1.000-1.002,p=3.51E-02)与子宫平滑肌瘤发病风险正相关。MR-Egger-intercept分析结果未检测到潜在的水平多效性,说明工具变量没有显著通过白介素以外的途径来影响3种妇科肿瘤的结局。Cochran’s Q 异质性检验提示IL-4与子宫内膜癌的MR分析结果存在潜在的异质性(MR Egger:p=0.04),但其他白介素与妇科肿瘤无显著异质性。留一法敏感性检验结果显示,依次剔除单个SNP后产生的MR分析结果与纳入全部SNP的MR分析结果基本一致,误差线的估计值约为0,提示不存在某个SNP对整体因果估计产生影响。漏斗图结果显示,纳入的SNP分布基本均衡,不受潜在因素影响而发生偏倚。结论  遗传预测的IL-4、IL-15Rα、IL-17A、IL-18R1、IL-21、IL-24和IL-37与3种妇科肿瘤的发病风险存在因果关联。进一步探究白介素在妇科肿瘤的分子机制,可能为妇科肿瘤的治疗提供潜在的治疗靶点。

     

    Abstract: Objective Two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was used to investigate the relationship between different interleukins and gynecological tumors, including cervical cancer, endometrial cancer and uterine leiomyoma. Methods Using the IEU OpenGWAS open database, interleukin and gynecological tumor data were obtained from European populations. Two-sample MR Analysis was applied, different interleukins were used as exposure factors, significant SNPS in GWAS data were selected as instrumental variables, and the instrumental variables were independent of each other. The risk of three kinds of gynecological tumors was analyzed separately to explore the causal relationship between interleukin predicted by genes and outcome indicators. The TwoSampleMR package in R language (4.3.1) software was used for statistical analysis. Perform MR analysis using inverse variance weighted (IVW), MR Egger regression, weighted median (WM), simple mode (SM), and weighted mode (WM) methods. The analysis results are presented as Odds Ratio (OR) and 95% CI. To evaluate whether there is potential bias in the results of MR analysis, and whether there is a significant impact of an instrumental variable on the outcome variable, sensitivity analysis should be conducted using methods including heterogeneity testing, horizontal pleiotropy analysis, and retention method sensitivity testing. Results Genetic prediction of IL-18 receptor 1 (IVW: OR=0.999, 95% CI: 0.998-1.000, p=3.90E-02) and IL-24 (IVW: OR=0.999, 95% CI: 0.998-1.000, p=2.46E-02) were negatively correlated with the risk of cervical cancer; IL-4 (IVW: OR=1.091, 95% CI: 1.004-1.186, p=3.98E-02), IL-21 (IVW: OR=1.069, 95% CI: 1.008-1.133, p=2.59E-02) and IL-37 (Weighted median: OR=1.112, 95% CI: 1.012-1.221, p=2.66E-02) were positively correlated with the risk of endometrial cancer; IL-15 receptor subunit alpha (IVW: OR=0.932, 95% CI: 0.887-0.978, p=4.63E-03) was negatively correlated with the risk of endometrial cancer; IL-17A (IVW: OR=0.998, 95% CI: 0.997-0.999, p=5.20E-03) and IL-37 (Weighted median: OR=0.999, 95% CI: 0.998-1.000, p=1.75E-02) were negatively correlated with the risk of uterine leiomyoma; IL-21 (IVW: OR=1.001, 95% CI: 1.000-1.002, p=3.51E-02) was positively correlated with the risk of uterine leiomyoma. The results of the MR-Egger-intercept analysis did not detect potential horizontal pleiotropic effects, indicating that the instrumental variables did not significantly affect the outcomes of the three gynecological tumors through pathways other than interleukin. Cochran's Q heterogeneity test suggested potential heterogeneity in the MR analysis results of IL-4 and endometrial cancer (MR Egger: p=0.04), but there was no significant heterogeneity between other interleukins and gynecological tumors. The sensitivity test results of the retention method show that the MR analysis results generated by sequentially removing individual SNPs are basically consistent with the MR analysis results of including all SNPs, with an estimated error line of about 0, indicating that there is no impact of a single SNP on the overall causal estimation. The funnel plot results show that the distribution of included SNPs is basically balanced and not affected by potential factors, resulting in bias. Conclusion Genetically predicted IL-4, IL-15Rα, IL-17A, IL-18R1, IL-21, IL-24, and IL-37 were causally associated with the risk of three gynecological tumors. Further exploration of the molecular mechanism of interleukin in gynecological tumors may provide potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of gynecological tumors.
